The fleet of clippers was like a nimble viper, circling around the crocodile for a while, trying to make some wounds on the crocodile from time to time! But venomous snakes are no match for crocodiles after all, and if they get too close, they will be counterattacked by crocodiles! While causing wounds to the crocodile, a piece of flesh will be torn off by the crocodile, so you can only retreat and find a way!

As for Zheng Zhilong's fleet, which was trying to close behind, it was a huge basking shark, slowly swimming and chasing its prey. As long as he can catch up with his prey, he can't escape!

The two fleets thus became entangled with each other, leaving a number of burning ships on their path, clearly marked their tracks. At this time, Wu Yizhou did not dare to entangle, and circled left and right all the way to avoid the pursuit. However, the main direction of sailing is still north.

It is still difficult for the two sides to win or lose in this way, mainly because it is difficult for both sides to carry too many guns or heavy guns on Chinese sea vessels. Now the level of their naval warfare is more about fighting broadside battles.

Take Zheng Zhilong's victory in Koro Bay in normal history, it does not mean that Zheng Zhilong's ship is strong, but Zheng Zhilong skillfully let the enemy fall into the narrow waters of Koro Bay, and then used fireships to besiege the other party to win.

At this time, on this wide water, Zheng Zhilong's advantages of having more people and more boats could not be brought into play. As long as Wu Yizhou is bent on going around in circles on the sea and doesn't give Zheng Zhilong a chance to fight, Zheng Zhilong really can't do anything about him for a while!

The two sides were entangled for more than an hour, and Wu Yizhou lost another boat, and many boats were injured. Zheng Zhilong's side lost five clipper boats, and even more ships were damaged. But fortunately, Wu Yizhou and the others moved quickly and took over all the personnel on the battle-damaged ship. It's just that the body of the deceased really can't be brought back, so it can only sink into the sea with the ship.

The two sides fought and stopped like this, and there were always casualties. But Zheng Zhilong's idea of surrounding Wu Yizhou has always failed. After a long time, Zheng Zhilong suddenly remembered something. He grabbed the master Gan Hui and said, "For so long, you have been staring at each other's fleet, have anyone ever seen a red-eyed snake?" ”

Gan Hui was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What do you think of so many ships?" The devil knows which boat he's hiding! ”

Zheng Zhilong asked several people in a row, but he didn't see the answers. Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but feel a haze in his heart. It's so strange that this red-eyed snake didn't show up at this time! Shouldn't he be standing in the bow of the ship at this time to boost morale? Did he hide in the cabin or lay in ambush?

Zheng Zhilong thought of this, and then put out his mind again. He felt that it was impossible for Liu Pei to have such a large fleet in a short period of time. It has only been a few years since Liu Pei and his party went to sea, even if he even built and bought these boats in front of him

It's already his limit! He couldn't have any more ships to spare. So at this time, did the red-eyed snake really hide in the fleet and not show its face?

This made Zheng Zhilong feel that the bright future seemed to be overshadowed. Just when Zheng Zhilong was thinking nonsense, someone suddenly stopped and shouted: "There is a fleet approaching in the northwest direction!" It's a ship of the Yiren! About a dozen! ”

Then someone shouted: "Due west, approach the fleet of Youyi people!" About a dozen or so of them! ”

Zheng Zhilong and the others hurriedly looked in both directions, and sure enough, they saw two fleets approaching quickly. The iconic white soft sails indicate that they are indeed a ship. Looking at the flags, one is the Dutch fleet and the other is the Spanish fleet. The two fleets were sailing at full speed toward the battlefield.

Zheng Zhilong frowned and said, "Why did these people suddenly appear here at this time? Could it be that they are connected to the conference room? ”

Zheng Zhifeng said: "How is it possible? Is there anyone on this sea who is closer to these Yi people than you? You didn't say that there was a lot of dirt between those Yi people, maybe they made an appointment to start a war here! ”

Zheng Zhifeng is right, Zheng Zhilong used to be a translator for the Dutch people in his early years, he is familiar with the situation of Westerners, and now he still maintains business contacts with them, and he also has personal friendships with many people, so these Westerners really can't hide their affairs from him!

However, at this time, Zheng Zhilong listened to Zheng Zhifeng's words but did not have an explanation, but instead felt alarmed in his heart, feeling that things didn't seem to be good! So he shouted, "Where is such a coincidence? ”

Zheng Zhifeng defended and said: "But when we went to do business with the Yiren a while ago, we didn't find any problems!" ”

Zheng Zhilong's heart became more and more depressed and panicked, but he didn't know where this panic came from? He never thought that Liu Pei would have the technology to make this kind of Western plywood ship, so he didn't think about Liu Pei. So Zheng Zhilong pondered for a moment and said, "I can't care about that much." Send two convoys to stop them, give me my name, and ask them what they are going to do. ”

Zheng Zhifeng said: "Okay, I'll take someone personally." ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhifeng sent two teams and ten ships to meet them separately. And Wu Yizhou was overjoyed when he saw the two fleets galloping in the distance at this time! He knew that it was Liu Pei who led the main fleet to help. So he immediately sent the order down and said, "Tell the brothers that the marshal has personally brought troops to help!" Everyone get ready, you're going to have to stand up to these bastards for a while! ”

As soon as the order was handed down, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Anyone who has a little spare will look at the fleets that come to help in the distance. And the fleet in the distance also lived up to expectations, and was rapidly approaching the battlefield

。

Zheng Zhifeng led the fleet to turn around and sail slowly before meeting the fleet, waiting for the other party's ship to come over. After a short time, the other party's ship at full speed approached, and Zheng Zhifeng also asked people to raise the sails, parallel to the warship at the head. The other four ships followed not far away.

At the same time, Zheng Zhifeng shouted to the ship in Dutchland, but received no response. He could only stare at the other party's ship! Liu Pei's ships were all cruisers. But their manufacturing standards are in accordance with the last standards of the Sail Era. That is, the late models are generally larger than the earlier models of ships of the same class! So Zheng Zhifeng couldn't see the appearance on the side of the ship at all.

He shouted several times, but no one on the boat paid any attention to him. But he didn't know that there were two people on deck talking about him. These two are Liu Pei and Jack.

Jack said, "Dear Generalissimo, don't you want to pay attention to this poor creature? ”

Liu Pei said: "What is there to pay attention to him? A dying man! ”

Jack said, "I know a little Dutch. Maybe I can talk to him and delay a little bit so that we can get closer to the battlefield. ”

Liu Pei pouted and said, "It doesn't matter, if you want to try it, try it!" "One

Jack stretched his upper body out of the side of the boat to answer Zheng Zhifeng, but the sea breeze was so strong that Zheng Zhifeng couldn't hear what he said at all. Jack retracted his body in disappointment and shook his head at Liu Pei, saying that he couldn't do anything.

Liu Pei stood on the side of the ship absently and looked at the five ships that were following the advance. Now his trademark red glasses appeared on the side of the ship. This scared Zheng Zhifeng a lot! Zheng Zhifeng couldn't understand how Liu Pei could collude with these Yi people?

Just when he didn't react, Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "All ships are free to shoot!" Be sure to sink these ships! ”

Since Zheng Zhifeng's departure, the sense of crisis in Zheng Zhilong's heart has not diminished in the slightest. So he kept chasing Zheng Zhifeng's figure with this telescope. However, when observing the other party's ship, he actually saw a blond-haired figure appear on the side of the other party's ship. Only then did he feel a little less of a sense of crisis in his heart.

But then he became terrified! Because he saw Liu Pei's iconic red goggles in the telescope! At this moment, Zheng Zhilong figured out all the questions! Why did these fleets not retreat in front of them, but they refused to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, and just circled the sea? It turned out that they were waiting for reinforcements to the fleet!

And the last batch of reinforcements was simply fake! The purpose is to call up the fleet of ships that are in ambush by yourself! That's why those ships are running so fast! They're just playing!
