Zheng Jun's beacon signal has three forms, a pillar of beacon fire represents the enemy's attack, but it is not a problem within the range that his own family can resist; The two-pillar beacon fire indicates that the incoming enemy has a certain weight and needs to be paid attention to; The three-pillar beacon fire indicates the difficulty of resisting the enemy and is the highest level of warning signal.

After hearing the report, Zheng Mo'an's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed to the shore defense fort and took out the telescope to see what was going on.

He has already received a report that the southeast mansion of the Ming Dynasty is making trouble along the coast, and many places have been captured by him, and the disaster is not small.

He saw the sailboats of the Southeastern Fleet coming, well, ten red-haired plywood boats too.

It was the captured Dutch ships, which looked a little dilapidated because they were not well repaired, and the additional guns on their ships had been removed, and there were not so many guns on board, so there was much less deterrence. (Gun emplacements were added during the previous war with the Southeastern Fleet)

"That's it!" Zheng Mo'an groaned, and quickly made up his mind: fight!

If he didn't fight, the other party just opened fire, their artillery had a long range, and even if he couldn't hit anyone, he would be disgusted by them.

The opponent's ship is big, the square ship is small, and the small ship against the big ship is nothing more than a group battle and arson, depending on the number of other ships, if the Southeast Fleet sends all the battleships, then Zheng Mo'an will not talk about fighting, and immediately flee for his life.

……

In order to ensure superiority, Zheng Mo'an ordered all the sailors to be dispatched, and the sailors knew that a Ming head was worth two Spanish silver dollars (Spanish silver dollars were circulated in Southeast Asia because they were popular because of their sturdy shape and difficult to be forged), and a Ming plywood boat was worth one hundred silver dollars, which was quite attractive to the officers and soldiers of the sailors with meager salaries.

During that period, because of the backward productive forces and years of war, the "civil servants" of the Annam and Annam dynasties, including the government and officers and soldiers, lived a tight life, which is why the customs of the Nguyen Dynasty had to collect tips. There is nothing to do, it is not easy to plough the fields, do business, make money in overseas business, but no one can compare to Chinese businessmen, only Hongmaofan can grab food, even if it is Hongmaofan, as long as the Chinese businessmen arrive at the place, Hongmaofan is also difficult to do business.

……

The Zheng Army's sailors were dispatched, and there were quite a few of them, and the entire sea area was shrouded by their ships, but Yan Zhang, the commander of the Southeast Army, was not afraid, he laughed at the other party and said: "How can the mantis arm block the car!" ”

Due to the influence of the Chinese cultural circle, Zheng Jun's ships are tired of the southeast of the mainland, among which the capital ship is the kind of big green head (the hull is mostly decorated with cyan): the length of the ship is 10 zhang, the width is 2 zhang 1 foot, the height is 5 feet, the draft is 8 feet, the load is three or four thousand quintals, a total of only 2 cannons, 1 in the front and 1 in the back, there are less than 10 such ships, and the rest are small boats.

The guns were few and small, and it was difficult to break through the defenses of the plywood ships.

However, Yan Zhang was still very cautious, he saw that he was now in a tailwind, and ordered the battleship to see that the other party entered the range of the artillery and fired immediately, without fear of wasting shells.

Ten plywood boats hit sideways together, and then fire!

The gunners shot recklessly, and the gunners who had experienced the battle had a feel and shot methodically.

The cannon roared, the sea reverberate, the sea trembled, and the heart trembled!

Many Zheng Jun ships were beaten to the point that the walls of the ships collapsed, and the sailors screamed.

However, Zheng Jun's ships are still moving forward!

They were against the wind, and the advantage of a small boat was that they could paddle, and the sailors rowed hard and braved the artillery fire of the Southeastern Army!

"The courage of these Annan monkeys is commendable!" Yan Zhang felt a little uneasy, this was the first time he had led the team out, and there was no room for error.

In the past, he was in command of a cruiser, and none of the captains of those big ships wanted to lead a team, so they had to let Yan Zhang take it.

Because of malnutrition, the people of Annam are thin and small, with sharp-beaked monkey gills and full of monkey appearance, so everyone calls them that.

Looking at the prepared shotguns and muskets, Yan Zhang's heart was a little relieved.

The next moment, his face changed!

The opponent enters the range of the bow and arrow and immediately inflicts a massive rocket attack on his formation!

The sound of the bowstring of "Hu Hu Hu ......" is loud, and it has the potential to overshadow the sound of cannons.

The rocket arrows ignited like thousands of lights, and they fell one after another to the big ships of the Southeast Army.

The veteran Zheng Mo'an has his own hand, his bow and arrow are very good, and the troops he trained are good at archery, which is relatively rare in Annam (there are many mountains and forests, and it is not much good to use a bow and arrow).

All the southeast captains, including Yan Zhang, shouted wildly: "Damage control troops, extinguish the fire!" ”

Grab the ......!

Rockets fell one after another, nailed to the walls of the ship, to the deck of the ship and to the canvas!

Seeing this scene, the first thing the officers and soldiers in the southeast said was, "Mazu bless!" ”

After getting the Dutch ship, the Southeast Army maintained it in time, and the canvas was maintained with flame retardant agents, the method was to roast the magnesite powder collected in the mountains at high temperature, and the ore powder (reburned magnesite) came out at this time, and it was used to soak the canvas, which can make the canvas extremely fire-resistant, and it is the refractory canvas that has been used in the West for a long time!

This hand was still taught by Barents, a former Dutch who defected to the Southeastern Army, so that after the canvas caught fire, it was difficult to burn and it was easy to rescue.

In accordance with the previous damage management measures, the officers and men of the southeast adopted the methods of drenching water, fire extinguishing blankets and sandbags, of which the fire extinguishing blankets contained flame retardant agents to fight the flames.

There are too many fire heads, and the trouble is that they also kill and injure people with arrows!

The ship had its own division of labor, and the damage management troops were busy putting out fires, in a hurry, and in chaos, while the defending troops were waiting for the arrival of the Annamite people.

When they approached and prepared to attack, the shotguns of the Southeastern Army opened fire in anger!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery lowered its muzzle, and the shotguns shot towards the Zheng army below, and countless projectiles were like a big net falling from the sky, suddenly covering them!

The thumb-sized iron pellets are like sharp arrows shot from a giant crossbow, hitting the unprotected Zheng Jun and shooting holes one by one, many iron pellets are also wrapped in lead, and the lead bullets that enter the human body are deformed, which are earthen dummy bullets, and they can't kill them, so painful that the monkeys in Annam howl in mourning!

June debt, pay it off quickly, if the rocket flame heads launched by Zheng Jun's attack on the southeast ship were so spectacular, now the blood sprays spewing out of the monkeys are also very beautiful.

A cannon hit a ship, and the metal storm ravaged the Annam monkeys.

When they got closer, the muskets of the Southeastern Army opened fire!

"Bang bang ......" so that the monkeys who were not dead on the deck of the ship couldn't raise their heads, and then the southeast army laughed wildly: "Hey, monkeys, I will reward you with a big potato!" ”

A five-kilogram black powder bomb was thrown from the ship!

"Boom!" In the loud bang, black smoke rose into the sky!

The effect was good, and the Southeast Army shouted: "Monkeys just like to eat sweet potatoes!" ”

The Southeastern Army was too arrogant, and as a result, when the grenadiers on the ship with the port number "Dutch Pig No. 3" raised a large potato and was about to feed the monkeys, there was a whoosh, and an arrow flew in, which was extremely accurate, and hit the door in front of him, and he fell down on his back, and the large potato in his hand exploded on the ship!

Then the rest of the sweet potatoes were detonated, and the "Dutch Pig No. 3" exploded like a monster farm, and the flames and black smoke rolled, so that Zheng Mo'an, who was about to put the second arrow, stopped and praised: "It's beautiful!" ”
