The reversal of Wang Yilin's fleet also surprised Zheng Zhiguan very much.

The first time it was reversed, it was a normal naval battle tactical action, and Zheng Zhiguan might have commanded it like this.

But if it's the other way around, it's out of line, it's self-defeating.

Zheng Zhiguan didn't have time to think carefully, so he immediately ordered the fleet to follow and turn, bite tightly, and at the same time let the ambush on the west side begin to accelerate, and flank the enemy fleet in two directions, east and west.

The battlefield was on the east side of Qixing Island, and Wang Yilin's most fundamental intention in reversing was not to rendezvous with Zhang Mingzhen, he wanted to lure Zheng Zhiguan's fleet into the blind spot.

In other words, using Qixing Island as a visual obstacle to prevent Zheng Zhiguan from discovering the arrival of Wu Song Shui Shi prematurely, Zhang Mingzhen can calmly set up the formation.

……。

Wang Yilin's assumption was correct, because the sky began to light up at this time.

The field of view is also widened.

The Zheng family fleet has hundreds of ships, and all of them are warships within a radius of ten miles.

If there is no visual obstruction, within the time of a pillar of incense, Wu Song Shui Shi will be discovered.

But Wang Yilin didn't think of it, or maybe he thought of it, and he still did it resolutely.

Eighteen warships, how could they survive under the attack of the east and west?

How much time can it support?

Shells rained down on Wang Yilin's fleet, because reversing it again was equivalent to exposing the starboard side at an oblique angle to the muzzle of the enemy ships ambushed on the west side.

A salvo of hundreds of guns, one round down, seven ships were hit, and the one with the most hits was hit by three shells.

Unfortunately, a shell hit the waterline, a hole as large as a round table, and the sea water poured in.

Just under Wang Yilin's nose, he slowly sank.

Wang Yilin had tears in his eyes, but he couldn't take care of it.

He still ordered all the fleets to continue to move south at full speed.

The whistling cannonballs smashed into the face and smashed around the ship with the sound of the "whine" wind, stirring up a monstrous column of water.

The second salvo of the enemy began.

Wang Yilin's fleet was no longer able to fight back, because there was no angle of fire.

As the saying goes, it's a cannonball that flies with a hard head.

At this time, the two warships behind Wang Yilin's flagship suddenly turned around without authorization, turned sideways, and only for a brief moment, they suddenly became the target of the enemy ships in the distance.

Wang Yilin could almost see a cannonball smashing into the two warships.

You can even see the splashing of broken wood and the figure of soldiers falling into the water.

Wang Yilin looked at it almost numbly, his gums were clenched so tightly that they were already bleeding, and the slightest hint of fishy sweetness made Wang Yilin's eyes blood-red.

The shelling continued with several pauses.

The chase continues.

Getting closer.

With the first, there will be a second.

The example of a hero will always attract the imitation of those who are hot-blooded.

The enemy fleet fired a fourth salvo, which again sank two warships that had taken the initiative to change direction and cover the flagship.

By this time, Wang Yilin's sailors had already suffered nearly half of the casualties.

I can't hold it anymore!

Wang Yilin turned his head and stared at the point where Qixing Island was getting closer and closer to the side where it intersected with the sea level, and almost roared, "Zhang Mingzhen, if you don't come again, don't come!" ”

With the roar, hot tears burst out.

It shouldn't be like this! Wang Yilin said.

……。

Zheng Zhiguan is no longer surprised.

Because no matter what the other party has or what conspiracy the other party has, it doesn't matter anymore.

Dead people, there are no ideas, no conspiracy to speak of.

Sink them, drown them, and triumph!

Looking at the enemy fleet with only eleven warships left, Zheng Zhiguan was laughing, baby, when Lao Tzu was begging for a living at sea, you were still peeing your pants!

After chasing you all night, it's time for you to stop and rest.

Of course, the rest in Zheng Zhiguan's heart is the kind of rest that really rests, the kind of rest that doesn't need to breathe.

Zheng Zhiguan's smile is getting thicker and closer!

At most, in half an hour, these eleven ships will have to sink into the sea, so that you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head!

The cannonballs rained through the edges, which made Zheng Zhiguan start to laugh out loud.

But suddenly, Zheng Zhiguan couldn't laugh.

The whistling of the shells is not right!

The smile stiffened on his face, and before it had time to fade, a ship next to Zheng Zhiguan's flagship suddenly caught fire.

Where did the shells come from?

Zheng Zhiguan held a telescope and searched around, but except for the eleven boats in front of him, there was nothing abnormal.

At this time, countless "rumbling" cannons suddenly sounded, and the dense whistling sound of the cannonballs made Zheng Zhiguan finally turn his head, and he involuntarily roared, which was an unconscious roar, a roar of fear.

Salvo!

But not a salvo from the Zheng family's sailors!

The cannonballs came from the western and southern turns of Seven Star Island, where the shadow of the ship was gradually revealed.

Dozens of battleships, in three rows, appeared laterally.

At the mouth of the gun hole on the side of the gun, smoke and fire burst out, and on the towering mast, the flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which Zheng Zhiguan was familiar with, fluttered.

Wu Song Water Master!

In Zheng Zhiguan's mournful cheers, the Zheng family's sailors were wiped out, with fierce shelling, and warships were constantly shot and caught fire.

Five or six ships sank in an instant.

The entire Zheng family fleet, which was spread out horizontally and pursued Wang Yilin, was almost half within the range of the artillery of the Wusong Naval Division.

Zhang Mingzhen's Wusong Naval Division finally arrived and saved Wang Yilin's only eleven remaining warships, and almost all of these eleven ships were wounded, and even Wang Yilin's flagship was hit by a cannonball, which smashed into a big hole on the bow deck.

Zheng Zhiguan panicked.

How is it possible not to panic.

The enemy did not have many reinforcements, and his own sailors still had the advantage.

But the problem is, it's too late to change direction.

That is, at least in a column of incense, no, probably more time, even if it immediately changes direction, it will be under the muzzle of the enemy ship that has been calibrated and has already fired a horizontal salvo.

Zheng Zhiguan was even more shocked by the range and accuracy of the enemy ships.

This distance, at least more than ten miles away, is beyond the reach of the gunwales on his own ship.

Zheng Zhiguan finally made a voice, "Retreat!" ”

This order, although it will lose more ships, but by opening up the distance, it can at least avoid the annihilation of the Zheng family's naval division.

But within the range of Wu Song's water division, this order could not be saved, and the Zheng family water division had to bear the losses.

Zheng Zhiguan's order was correct, if you wanted to rush over, get close to the enemy, and start an artillery battle, you need to sail at least five miles.

The distance of five miles is enough for any ship that rushes up to it cannot escape the sinking end.

No matter how poor the accuracy is, it can't face a salvo of dozens of warships and hundreds of gunwales.

Just like the bravest soldier, he can't charge with ten machine guns, this is a truth.

On the sea level, there is no trace of shelter and cover, and the only cover is the warship in front of you.

But the ship is not really a shield, it can be sunk.

Within a radius of ten miles, the entire sea was covered by the gunfire shells of the Wusong Water Division.

Almost two or three ships of gunwales "took care" of the enemy's ship.
