Chapter 1155: Battle of Seven Star Island (6)

Zheng Cai is tantamount to taking some of the warships under his command as targets, and taking the initiative to send them to Wang Yilin's muzzle, to see how many you can sink?

As long as the distance is shortened to within six miles, the more than sixty warships under his command can bite Wang Yilin's eleven ships to the point that there are no bones left.

And the Wusong Sailor Division has lagged behind more than twenty miles away, which is not surprising, when the Zheng Sailor turned to break away, the Wusong Sailor Division's warships were almost stationed, this is for salvo and accuracy.

It wasn't until the Zheng family's sailors fled beyond range that the Wusong sailors began to pursue.

This causes the distance to widen quickly.

The distance of more than 20 miles was enough for Zheng Cai's more than 60 warships to carry out a surprise attack on Wang Yilin.

Is Zheng Cai really braver than Zheng Zhiguan?

Does he really want to fight a battle to the death?

On the contrary, in fact, although Zheng Cai felt that Zheng Zhiguan's order to surrender was wrong, Zheng Cai believed that this was a battle that there was no need to fight again.

Zheng Cai did not know that Zheng Zhiguan and Dolgon were secretly colluding.

The initial cause of this battle was that more than ten warships were captured after Chen Quinoa failed to plunder merchant ships.

Zheng Zhiguan felt that he had lost face, so he dispatched the main force of the sailor to avenge the revenge.

But the current battle situation is no longer a battle of will, but a life-and-death struggle.

Then, at least in Zheng Cai's opinion, it is completely unnecessary.

But Zheng Cai still stabbed Zheng Zhiguan with a knife, which was not only to kill his boss, but also to kill his uncle.

Zheng Cai has only one purpose, that is, to regain control of this water division, recapture the water division that originally belonged to him, and obediently avenge his brother Zheng Lian who died in vain.

But this water division is no longer all Zheng Cai's old department.

How do you quickly gather centripetal force?

The best way is to kill people and obey the will of the soldiers.

Who is the best person to kill?

Naturally, it was Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhiguan was Zheng Chenggong's person, Zheng Lian was killed by Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Cai took the initiative to hand over the military power, although Zheng Chenggong treated him favorably on the surface and served as the deputy chief soldier of this water division.

But everyone understands that the deputy position in ancient times was an ornament.

The so-called immortal, you will always be the prince.

In ancient times, the adjutant general in the military rank, unless the main general died, the right to speak was not as good as the following partial general and lieutenant who led the army alone.

Therefore, Zheng Cai did not give Zheng Zhiguan a chance to speak at all.

Because he knows that as long as he pulls out a knife and puts it on Zheng Zhiguan's neck, Zheng Zhiguan will definitely regret not surrendering, so does Zheng Cai still have a chance?

Not only does there be no chance, but going back is a dead end.

The so-called one does not do, two do not stop, kill and then say!

Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Zhiguan died, the overall situation was decided.

And although Zheng Zhiguan was killed by Zheng Cai, as long as the people on the flagship did not resist, they could be regarded as accomplices.

That is, either to resist and be killed, or to follow.

It's like getting on a boat.

But this does not mean that the hearts of the people are united.

Although they are in the same boat, since Zheng Cai can kill people and seize power, others can too.

Even if it wasn't Zheng Zhiguan's henchmen, the captain of any capital ship around the flagship could fire a salvo at the flagship at this chaotic time, and he didn't even need to find an excuse, just say that he was counterinsurgent, and he would go back to Zheng Chenggong to reward him with a good life.

Therefore, what Zheng Cai needs most at this time is to appease people's hearts.

How to appease?

Naturally, it is to obey the will of the army and resolutely break through!

This is the psychological process of Zheng Cai's order to raid Wang Yilin's department.

In Zheng Cai's heart, as long as Wang Yilin's department is defeated, then, if he turns around and deals with the chasing Wu Song Water Division, the victory or defeat is still unknown.

Even if you don't want to fight anymore, you can calmly go north and then turn southeast back to Fujian waters.

In that case, the soldiers would have nothing to blame.

And with this "accomplice", the soldiers under his command will definitely follow him, and Zheng Chenggong is not in Xiamen, after he returns, he can quickly control Xiamen and the surrounding waters and fight against Zheng Chenggong.

……。

On this battlefield, the only people who really want to fight to the death are Wang Yilin and the soldiers of the eleven warships under his command.

More than half of the warships and soldiers brought out were lost, and the strong enemy was still cruising in front of him unscrupulously.

Wang Yilin's eyes were blood-red.

On the flagship, only a hoarse voice roared, "Fire...... Faster...... You'd better be quicker! ”

In a hurry, Wang Yilin dragged away the gunner in front of him and got on top of it himself.

It is not difficult to share the same hatred and hatred.

Especially after going to the battlefield and having a vicious battle.

The hearts of the soldiers will quickly coalesce.

But this cohesion is short-lived and is affected by many factors, such as whether the Lord will live and die together, and whether he will have the strength to fight back.

But Wang Yilin took a good start, and naturally followed many people.

At this time, the soldiers on the ten ordinary warships were unanimous in the outside world.

One by one, with blood-red eyes, they reloaded, fired, and reloaded as fast as they could.

But in this way, can the gunwales on one side of the eleven warships really stop more than sixty large warships, and after they are scattered, they have a scale of nearly ten miles to break through at the same time?

No!

I'm afraid that even Wu Song Shui Shi can't do it.

The Wusong Naval Division had ample time to set up the formation, demarcated the distance of the enemy, fired four volleys, and only damaged and sank more than a dozen ships.

Wang Yilin only has eleven ships, and there are only two capital ships, with such strength, it is okay to cooperate with Wu Song's sailors, but it is impossible to be in charge alone.

Zheng Cai also saw this point, and he had a certain number in his heart.

Otherwise, how dare he kill people and seize power?

……。

After three rounds of shelling, only two enemy ships were sunk, three were damaged, and one of them caught fire.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was close to within six miles.

Zheng Cai had already given the order to return fire on Wang Yilin's troops with the bow gun.

The Zheng family's capital ship has two bow guns, one on the deck and one on the second floor of the cabin.

The loading of this kind of gun is very special, unlike the gunwald, there is a gun carriage car, and after the gun is fired, it is directly dragged out of the gun hole for loading.

The loading of the bow gun was different, its barrel, close to the muzzle, had iron rings on both sides, which was called the cannon nose.

There are gun lugs near the tail to fix and adjust the muzzle elevation angle up and down.

Once the gun is fired, four gunners will step forward and pull the muzzle down to reload directly at the gun position.

So, in a naval battle, if the side is hit, it basically does not cause a martyrdom, but the bow is different, because the bow is piled with ammunition, and once it is hit, it will be killed.

Like the wooden warship at this time, it does not need too much ammunition to explode, and a warship of nearly 1,000 stones can completely lose its combat effectiveness.

At this time, Wang Yilin's warship was returned fire by the bow guns of the Zheng Jiashui Division, and casualties began to appear.

A warship was suddenly hit by several solid bullets one after another, and several large holes were broken in the right side of the ship, causing several gunwales in and around the holes to lose their combat effectiveness.
