Chapter 1485: The Battle of the Eastern Domain
"Tell Wu Zheng that if you don't see the arrival of reinforcements again, don't blame this king for armistice and peace talks with the enemy!" Zheng Sen shouted angrily at Chen Yonghua, "Despicable and untrustworthy villain, if it weren't for him, where would this bloody battle come from, this king and he don't share the sky!" β
Zheng Sen is indeed "sad", sad for Wu Zheng's untrustworthiness.
That's right, Wang Yilin, who was supposed to appear six hours after the outbreak of the naval battle, has not appeared on the battlefield for more than twelve hours, which has to make Zheng Sen suspect Wu Zheng's "sinister" intentions.
In fact, at this time, even Chen Yonghua realized that Wu Zheng had the heart of "repaying the favor".
In the previous naval battle of Tanhu Mountain, Zheng Sen's naval division was close at hand, but he did not reinforce him, and now revenge is coming.
The actual battle verified Wu Zheng's sixteen mantras, which were completely ineffective in the decisive battle, and the enemy's ship speed did not allow the Zheng family's naval division to withdraw.
Otherwise, how could Zheng Sen persist until now, he really couldn't withdraw.
Watching the capital ships catch fire one by one and then sink is an unbearable pain for any commander.
Chen Yonghua stomped his feet and shouted: "Don't worry, if your subordinates can't persuade King Wu to come to help, they will die in front of him...... In order to repay the grace of the prince's acquaintance. β
Zheng Sen's eyes were red, and he said sharply: "Tell Wu Zheng that if you really have to wait for this king to join forces with Fanren, even if he has twice as many sailors, it will not be possible for a piece of sail into Hangzhou in the future maritime trade!" β
β¦β¦γ
Threat, this is the red fruit land threat.
Chen Yonghua was angry, disappointed, pleading, no, it should be pleading, when he asked His Royal Highness King Wu for help who was slowly sipping tea in front of him, he was afraid that his heart would collapse.
Chen Yonghua was almost certain that Zheng Sen's guess was right, and Wu Zheng was taking revenge for Zheng Sen's inaction during the Battle of Tanhu Mountain.
But what Chen Yonghua didn't understand was that the Zheng family sailor in the Battle of Tanhu Mountain had come up with reinforcements at the end after all, but now, Wu Zheng was still drinking tea in the slow strip.
Chen Yonghua wanted to cry, crying out to the sky and the earth, if this helped.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, there is no need for the foreign ministers to repeat the truth of the cold lips and teeth......
Wu Zheng still squinted, making Chen Yonghua want to leave, but he didn't dare to go, because with this step, the Zheng family's sailor would really be helpless, at this time, the only person in the world who could save the Zheng family's sailor was the man in front of him.
If you want to cry without tears, I'm afraid this is the most appropriate annotation of Chen Yonghua's mood at this time.
At this time, Ma Shiying rushed in from outside the door in a hurry, holding a page of letter paper in his hand, "Lord Wang...... Rajah...... Lord Wang urgently reported that his sailors had arrived at the designated water ....... β
Wu Zheng finally opened his eyes and smiled at Chen Yonghua, "Brother Fufu is indeed a loyal person, how about it...... Lai Gu's command will definitely be able to show your talents? β
Chen Yonghua looked at Wu Zheng in astonishment, he thought that he knew countless people, but he had never seen such a "shameless" person, what is this, taking advantage of the fire to rob?
Chen Yonghua wanted to scold, but he was reluctant to scold, because he heard Ma Shiying's urgent report with his own ears, Wang Yilin's sailor had arrived at the designated waters, although he didn't know where the designated waters were, but Chen Yonghua believed that if Wu Zhengzhen wanted to stand by and watch, he should not send the sailors to any designated waters, because in such a large-scale naval battle, any change would be met with unnecessary misunderstandings, whether it was for the Zheng family or the Fanren fleet.
Chen Yonghua smiled bitterly, "Your Highness has already made arrangements...... Yonghua is a villain in vain. β
"Hmm......." Wu Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, got up and nodded, "The arrangement is ...... It's been there for a long time, but what I didn't expect was that the Zheng family's sailors, who were known as invincible at sea, were so vulnerable...... Don't get me wrong, it's only less than two days, even if it can be delayed for one more day, Wang Yilin doesn't have to be so urgent, you know, it's really not easy to get close to Hualien Port in broad daylight...... That's a fleet of 12,000 people, hundreds of ships, ....... β
Wu Zheng "nagged" and walked out, "Summoning Shi Lang, according to the established deployment, besiege and shell Tamsui Port, and cover the landing of the officers and soldiers of the First Army carried by Wang Yilin's department in Hualien Port...... Zhang Mingzhen was ordered to immediately transport the second echelon to the ...... of Tamsui Port. β
Leaving Chen Yonghua petrified behind Wu Zheng, 12,000 people? Hundreds of ships? Second echelon?
Chen Yonghua's face suddenly changed, he came to his senses, His Royal Highness King Wu, who was in a high position at a young age, what a big game of chess he played? !
Damn, he actually used the thousands of warships and tens of thousands of sailors of the Zheng family as bait?
Chen Yonghua's heart suddenly felt empty, his lord was like a child squatting on the ground and playing with mud in front of His Royal Highness King Wu, looking so naΓ―ve and ...... Ignorant.
β¦β¦γ
The naval battle was the largest in East Asia in history.
But also the most dramatic naval battle.
Because it ended very suddenly, as if it had died halfway.
No matter how powerful the navy is, I am afraid it will not be able to fight independently, it needs a huge land supply, otherwise, it will be a rotten sampan at sea.
There were 8,000 people on the island, but these 8,000 included non-combatants, and of course, in addition to these 8,000 men, there was also a "servant army" conscripted from the local natives, which numbered quite a few people, 20,000 people.
It's a pity that this "servant army" will maintain order for them, and they really can't go to the battlefield, their weapons are still cold weapons, and they are ...... "unsightly".
Lacking training and fighting for no reason, as soon as they saw the landing of the First Army of the Northern Expedition, they had a posture, that is, they were holding their heads and running around, clever and clever, throwing away the broken knives and bows in their hands, kneeling on both sides, and going who they loved.
In one day's effort, the First Army, which landed from Hualien and Tamsui, formed a flanking attack from the east and north.
In fact, for Hongmao, whose base camp is located in Dongning (Chengtianfu) in the southwest of the island, it will not be a threat in a short time, at least, within half a month, the Northern Expeditionary Army will not be able to form a substantial threat to it.
But Kerry, who always lived in anticipation and learned that the enemy had landed in the east and north, and began to form a flanking attack to the west and south? Thorne, he can't resist anymore, he really doesn't want to fight anymore at this time, even if the combined fleet has the initiative in the naval battlefield.
That's right, what if you fight to win the naval battle, the old nest is ended, and everything is in vain.
Press Kerry? Thorne said that it was not in the interests of the Dutch that the great Dutch navy could not lose its occupation of the Eastern Domain for the benefit of the English and the Portuguese.
Kerry? Thorne then ordered a truce for the Combined Fleet, withdrew from the battlefield on his own initiative, and then sent emissaries to Hangzhou and Tamsui Harbor.
