Wu Zheng's intention and layout was to lure the Zheng family's sailors out with the merchant fleet.

The sailors who were lured out of the caravan must not be large-scale, after all, they are robbing merchant ships, and the so-called killing chickens is used with a knife?

Then, Wang Yilin's sailors defeated the Zheng family's sailors who plundered merchant ships.

And Wang Yilin is a pirate, and when the time comes, Wu Zheng can completely deny that he doesn't know, and Zheng Chenggong can't come up with evidence anyway.

Wu Song sailors were ordered to exterminate Wang Deren's pirates, but the remnants escaped, because the old nest was occupied, lack of supplies, and then took a risk, ready to go south to plunder, happened to meet the Zheng family sailors robbing the merchant fleet, so there was a black and black. Look, the reason is very good, and the push is all gone, who can say anything else?

However, Wu Zheng also ordered Zhang and Wang not to pursue if the Zheng family sailors fled south.

Wu Zheng still considered that if he really wanted to beat Zheng Chenggong's sailors, once Zheng Chenggong retaliated, the grudge between the two would be endless, which was not conducive to the strategy of both sides against the Qing court.

If Wu Zheng's tactical thinking is summed up, it is to teach Zheng Chenggong a lesson, let him understand, don't bother me, digging my corner will pay the price, and die the fantasy of entering the sea area of eastern Zhejiang!

But Wang Yilin and Zhang Mingzhen had a banquet in private, and the taste changed.

Originally, after Wang Yilin defeated the Zheng family's sailors who came out to plunder, Wang Yilin should immediately return to the waters of eastern Zhejiang, cooperate with the Wusong sailors, form an east-west joint attack, and wait for the Zheng family's sailors to come to retaliate.

But Wang Yilin was lucky, he captured more than ten warships without much effort, how could he still let go?

Fortunately, the warships at this time were all wooden sails, and as long as they were sailors, they could operate them, so it was not difficult to bring these warships back, but the problem was that once half of the sailors on the original warship were divided into the captured battleships, the movement was active, and the speed could not be improved.

If you escape like this, you will be caught up before entering the waters of Jinxiangwei, so Wang Yilin was chased for a day, and he thought of a countermeasure on the way, that is, to change the plan again, send someone to inform Zhang Mingzhen, and move the ambush location of the Wusong Water Division from Nanji Mountain to the southwest to the waters of Pumensuo.

Located in the southeast of the Fenshui Pass, Pumen was a garrison guard post in the Ming Dynasty, which was used to guard against the Japanese invaders at that time.

To the east of Pumen, is Taishan (the waters of Qixing Island).

It is the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Wang Yilin deliberately chose here, firstly, it happened to be on the way to "flee north", and secondly, it avoided Wu Zheng's strict order.

But as for whether Zhang Mingzhen will agree, Wang Yilin can only resign himself to fate.

At this point, Wang Yilin has accepted his fate.

He had to order a slowdown, because although he captured a dozen or so warships and took a big advantage, the task given by Wu Zheng was not completed.

In other words, these warships are like a drop in the bucket for the Zheng family's sailors, and they are far from achieving the purpose of Wu Zheng's deployment of this operation.

Wang Yilin slowed down, firstly, he was afraid that Zheng Zhiguan would decouple, secondly, if a famous impression came as promised, the two sides would collide head-on, and the purpose of surprise would not be achieved, and third, it was dark, and Wang Yilin was worried that he would suffer a loss in the night battle.

In the waters of eastern Zhejiang, there is indeed no force that can be the enemy of the two naval divisions of Zhoushan and Wusong, which causes the naval division to lack actual combat.

Wang Yilin was worried that the sailors were not used to night battles and would cause huge casualties, so the gains would outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Wang Yilin subconsciously wanted to delay until dawn the next day, so that even if Wu Song Shui Shi came head-on, it would not be easy to be discovered by Zheng Zhiguan, but he could provide Wu Song Shui Shi with Zheng Zhiguan's approximate location.

In the final analysis, it is your own side that takes advantage.

But people are not as good as heaven, Wang Yilin didn't expect that Zheng Zhiguan would pursue him so resolutely and prepare to fight a night battle.

When the cannon sound rang out behind him, the fire from the muzzle of the cannon was unusually clear in the night.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is only a dozen miles.

Artillery is more of a deterrent, with the bow gun.

Wang Yilin was horrified in his heart, so he could only order to speed up his escape north.

……。

At midnight.

Zheng Zhiguan's fleet finally caught up with Wang Yilin's fleet fleeing north in the waters of Taishan.

Although during the pursuit, the Zheng family's sailors only used the bow gun, and in the dark night, the hit was almost impossible.

However, more than a dozen capital ships in the forefront opened fire at the same time, and their momentum was also quite shocking.

Wang Yilin smiled bitterly, there was no way.

What else can be done?

Ass against people, what to shoot back?

If you change direction and counterattack with the ship's gun, I am afraid that you will be quickly caught up and encircled, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to escape.

Wang Yilin could only order to flee north at full speed, and he could escape as much as he could.

In Wang Yilin's heart, he has already begun to curse Zhang Mingzhen, why hasn't he been there?

……。

Where is Zhang Mingzhen?

He had already led 20 capital ships and 42 medium-sized warships of the Wusong Naval Division to the vicinity of Qixing Island.

At this time, Wang Yilin's fleet was actually about fifty miles away.

But Zhang Mingzhen was really hesitating, because once he went further south, it would be to cross the Zhejiang border.

On the one hand, the friendly army asked for help, and on the other hand, the boss strictly ordered how to choose, it was really embarrassing for Zhang Mingzhen.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Mingzhen made a wrong decision.

He decided to stay in the waters of Seven Star Island.

Zhang Mingzhen thought that even if he was a sailor of the Zheng family, he would not dare to fight a naval battle in the dark.

In other words, as long as Wang Yilin keeps fleeing north, even if Zheng Zhiguan catches up with Wang Yilin, he will not be able to form an encirclement of Wang Yilin's sailors in the dark night, and Wang Yilin will still have a chance.

……。

However, in fact, from the moment he crossed Taishan, Zheng Zhiguan had bitten Wang Yilin's ass.

Originally, Zheng Zhiguan was indeed unwilling and did not dare to cross the border between Zhejiang and Fujian.

But in this era, on the vast sea shrouded in night palladium, who can judge where the handover line is?

Seeing that the enemy was in front of him, Zheng Zhiguan chased after the anger.

So, at the ugly moment, Zheng Zhiguan's fleet was in the front, and the bow guns were already enough to reach the warships of Wang Yilin's department.

Even the first cannon was within reach, and the distance was already within five miles.

Therefore, Zheng Zhiguan ordered that the forward continue to pursue, and the warships behind were separated sideways, sailing diagonally from both sides, one side of the war, and the other side of the shelling.

As soon as the ship changed direction, it was possible to use gunwales and fire a salvo at the target.

Although Zheng Zhiguan's character is not good, his experience in naval warfare is also old.

The speed of the enemy's ships was clearly not comparable to the speed of his own.

According to his deployment, within an hour, it was enough to swallow the enemy's fleet.

At this time, Wang Yilin was indeed a little panicked.

In this pitch-black sea, there is nothing to see except a little starlight.

He didn't know if Zhang Mingzhen's reinforcements had come.

I don't know if I can bring this sailor back alive.
