The situation is already very critical, once the Zheng family warships are dispersed, there are too many targets, and the artillery of the eleven warships cannot be taken care of at all, which leads to the warships of the Zheng family's naval division on the left and right sides to cross over, and they can use a part of the gunwales to return fire on Wang Yilin's department.

One after another, warships were hit.

Fortunately, the Zheng Jiashui Division is still using solid bullets, and there are not many casualties.

In this case, it stands to reason that any commander should order a retreat, and while there is still a distance between the two sides, and Wu Songshui is coming, he can get out.

But Wang Yilin refused to retreat, and he categorically ordered the warships to change from horizontal to vertical, forming a triangular formation to launch a counter-assault on the enemy.

This brings us to recklessness.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare, and on land, troops are concentrated to form a joint force, and counter-charge is a means of breaking through the encirclement below.

But not at sea, the ship has a strong inertia, so the distance between the ships is not a few zhang or a dozen zhang, and the distance between the two warships, with the tightest formation, must also be kept a hundred zhang away, in order to prevent collisions with each other.

Forming a triangular formation and counter-charging the enemy, the result is often that the enemy passes through the gap smoothly, and the two sides use gunwales to fire at each other at close range.

This is terrifying, within almost the limit of the firing range, almost shooting at the nose of the opponent, almost the same way of playing.

Few people would command a naval battle like this, because with such tactics, it is difficult to control the final outcome.

Shooting at close range, there is no need to aim, and there is no need for any experience and technology, what can be done is to open the gun, and there will not even be a second chance, because after the cannon is fired, there is no time to reload, and there is no need to even escape, you will not know if the dense gunwales will hit you running just right.

Wang Yilin, I just want to do this!

What kind of commander there is, there will be what kind of soldiers.

Even the soldiers of the former Wang Deren Department, who had just been annexed, carried out Wang Yilin's orders to the letter under such a "ridiculous" order.

This is the difference with land warfare, as long as the Lord does not flee, no one can escape.

Outside the ship is the sea, jump in, the result is still the same, die!

Thus, the most brutal scene of this naval battle appeared.

Eleven warships, one of which also ignited a fire, slowly turned around, formed a triangular formation, and rushed head-on towards the Zheng family's sailors.

There are more than 60 boats of the Zheng family's sailors, which are scattered at this time, with a horizontal span of nearly ten miles, and it forms two rows at most.

That is, it does not, in depth.

I have to say that Wang Yilin's battlefield response is very powerful, at least on the battlefield of naval warfare, his gaze is vicious.

Although it is a forced situation, although it is a situation with the flame of hatred in the heart.

But his order is indeed the only way to deal with this situation other than retreating.

Zheng Cai panicked.

When Zheng Cai saw Wang Yilin's department turn around, he thought that his plan had succeeded, and thought that Wang Yilin's department was going to escape.

In fact, a general with a normal mind can indeed only choose to escape.

No one is going to ram more than sixty ships with eleven ships.

Wang Yilin is not a normal person.

The soldiers under his command are not normal people.

Originally, the distance was only five or six miles, but after Wang Yilin ordered to turn around, it approached two or three miles.

Fortunately, Wang Yilin's warship has not dropped its sails, otherwise, it would have been too late to accelerate at this distance.

In other words, when the eleven warships finished adjusting their direction and began to accelerate, the two sides were already close to less than two miles.

Zheng Cai panicked.

He suddenly understood that what the other party wanted was not to escape, because the bow of the other party was no longer turning, but was accelerating towards his flagship.

This is going to collide!

Needless to say, an old sailor like him, even a rookie knows that if he really wants to collide, he will definitely choose the largest ship, the flagship, to ram.

Zheng Cai's flagship was in the second row, and there were three capital ships in front of him to cover him, but Zheng Cai knew that the triangular formation of these eleven ships rushed over, and the three ships in front of him couldn't cover him at all.

However, the distance was too close for any way to change direction and make any effective response, and it was not even too late to issue the flag order to order all ships to fire a salvo at the enemy.

At this time, without the flagship order, no one dared to fire at Wang Yilin's department.

Because the shells don't have long eyes, at such a close distance, the shells are very likely to hit your own ships.

The only way Zheng Cai wanted not to be hit by a thirty-pound cannonball was to jump into the sea with two words.

Does Zheng Caiken jump?

Won't!

At this time, even if Zheng Cai wants to admit it, he has no time.

All he can do is give the order and crash into it!

This command is very correct.

If you bump into it, you may be alive, and if you pass by, it will be more dangerous.

Because the ships of both sides converged, there were enemies on the left and right, and the guns on both sides were bound to fire a salvo.

Dozens of guns, almost a cannon hit, a wooden battleship, can withstand shelling of this intensity?

It's too late, it's too fast.

The distance of two miles, in the case of the acceleration of both sides, is the time of a blink of an eye.

"Boom-boom-boom" three loud sounds, accompanied by the dull sound of seeping wooden planks "snapping" and iron plates and other objects hitting each other.

Bumped in!

The huge inertia caused the six ships that collided with each other to rise into the sky, and the wooden tips that were sharper than the tip of a knife after breaking pierced into the hull of the other party, instantly inseparable.

Under the terrifying gaze of countless people, the warship, like a conjoined baby, collapsed on its side and smashed back into the sea, stirring up waves higher than houses.

The people on both boats, not even having a chance to jump into the sea, passively fell from the boat, and then were smashed back into the wreckage of the hull that was smashed back into the sea.

However, this is just the beginning.

Zheng Cai guessed correctly, the three ships in front of him couldn't cover his flagship at all.

Looking at the flagship of the other party that was facing him, Zheng Cai flashed a trace of regret in his heart.

I regret that I shouldn't have provoked such a madman.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Seeing the tragic situation of the three warships in front of him, Zheng Cai grabbed the rudder at the last moment and swung it a few times to the left.

This action doesn't make any sense, Zheng Cai is just a knee-jerk move.

He was, after all, afraid.

He wanted to avoid a head-on collision, but at this distance, it would be difficult for even the gods to prevent the collision.

But Zheng Cai's move did deflect the bow a little.

As a result, the two ships were not facing each other, but were at a staggered angle.

This staggering caused the two ships to collide with each other, and the result was different from the previous one.

Because the bow of the ship is pointed, the pointed one will slide away when it touches the surface of the other pointed boat, but the inertia allows the ship to continue forward, which makes the side of the ship where the two ships collide instantly squeeze and arch upward.

At this time, the two sides began shelling each other with broadside guns.
