"Okay, what a thanksgiving!"

The woman's impassioned words lifted the hearts of everyone present. was the first to applaud it, but it was the man who was pushed into the water by her.

The water was very shallow, and the man threw himself twice, and then went ashore on his own. As soon as he stood up, he was attracted by the woman's generous statement, stood in the wet mud on the shore, and immediately clapped his hands and praised it.

"The little lady is the widow of a loyal person, and she has such insight and courage that she really doesn't let her eyebrows go. It was Liu who was rude, but please forgive me. ”

The man surnamed Liu bowed, but the woman looked a little at a loss, and hurriedly returned the salute. The two looked at each other and smiled, and everyone present was also excited.

Next, not only Chen Kai, but even the Ming army who came over were blocked by these Guangzhou people. In this regard, Chen Kai had no choice but to let the relieved Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao give them simple training. As for how simple it is, well, it can basically be described as brainless.

After basic training, the small fleet slowly sailed to Dajisha on the east side of Henan Island, where it was ready for battle. Dajisha divided the Pearl River channel into two, and Chen Kai inevitably divided the Qing army, so he simply put this whimsical killer weapon here to wait for the Qing army, and even his banner stood straight here.

Chen Kai sat under the banner, Lin Dezhong was still organizing the transfer of the people, and Cai Qiao was standing on the side with a team of personal soldiers holding swords. In front of them, these newly organized Guangzhou volunteers stood on small boats, supporting the bottom of the water with bamboo poles, ready to sail out at any time.

I don't know how long it has been, but the Qing fleet has not yet sailed, and there are faint doubts about Chen Kai's judgment among the volunteers, but they are also quickly overwhelmed by statements such as "Chen Zhifu is unparalleled in wisdom" or "Isn't it good if the Tartars don't come". But after a while, at the corner of the Pearl River in the distance, a ship slowly sailed out, and then, one, two, more and more large and small ships traced the river upstream, heading straight for Guangzhou.

"It's coming, it's really coming!"

The sound of swallowing saliva came and went, and soon even Chen Kai couldn't help but listen to it. However, what made him deeply relieved was that those Guangzhou volunteers who had never been in battle did not retreat in the slightest, and still stood on the boat, looking into the distance.

Chen Kai sat there, his gaze pointing into the distance along the telescope. On the banner, the small characters of the official name are not very clear, but the large characters that indicate the identity can still be vaguely understood.

"Xu ...... Flourishing...... Xu Long and Sheng Dengke are here, don't you plan to have a good time. ”

The Qing army turned a corner, and went straight to this place against the direction of the river. A moment later, the cannon rang out, and the whistling cannonballs stirred up a huge column of water in the river.

It could not wait any longer, and if the shells hit the Vigilant boats that had not yet departed, it would be an inevitable blow to morale. And now, all that this Guangzhou volunteer force can rely on is morale and the spirit of sacrifice, and it must not be consumed just like that. Seeing this, Chen Kai waved his hand, and the volunteers in Guangzhou listened to the order and drank, and the small boats that supported each other galloped away along the current.

"The men of Guangzhou City, don't let a woman from the slave family take the lead!"

The woman holding the boat shouted, and the man on the boat stood in front of her with a heavy plank, and also echoed the voice, which caused these volunteers to shout. With such a chaotic scream, the morale rose plainly, and the volunteers who supported the boat exerted all their strength, as if they were racing dragon boats, and the small boats went straight to the Qing fleet in the distance and crashed into it without hesitation.

On the surface of the Pearl River, down the river, hundreds of boats competed for the current, and dozens of small boats of the Ming army fearlessly rushed to the two hundred or so ships of the Qing army in the distance, just like a mantis arm as a car.

This is almost unimaginable for the Qing army, especially on the first Qing military ship, Rao is Xu Long also has a lot of experience in water battles, the first time he saw such a scene, he was also stunned for a while, and when he reacted, he shouted angrily.

"Quick, stop these boats, this is the Zheng family's arson boat tactics, quick!"

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the level of shipbuilding in Europe had left the Ming Empire behind. The Fu ships and Guangzhou ships that prevailed in the Chinese sea were far behind the Galen ships on the European continent, both in terms of size and gun positions. However, under such circumstances, the Ming court and even the later Zheng group could often effectively expel the European colonists, which was more due to the numerical advantage of coastal warfare, and the Zheng group took this advantage to the extreme, that is, the arson boat tactics that made the sea coachmen hate the bay.

The Zheng Group's fleet can be said to be a hornet's nest for the Dutch, although it is small, but the number is too large to be easily provoked. But for Xu Long and these bandits, the Zheng Group's ships are not only more than them, but also generally larger than theirs, and the level that Xu Long can involve basically has never heard of the Zheng Group will use such tactics to fight opponents of their level, and it has always been the "giant ship cannon" that has been crushed all the way.

I can think of this at this moment, or because I was driven out of Chaozhou by Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai in the past few years, and regarded the Zheng Group as a lifelong enemy, I managed to find out the information from everywhere. But even so, Xu Long was inevitably a beat slower.

"Put the boat to intercept and fire! Archery! Don't let those arsonists come close! ”

In the distance, Chen Kai noticed Xu Long, and Xu Long also noticed Chen Kai's banner on Dajisha. The enemy was very red when he saw him, but these small boats had attracted him so much energy that he couldn't take care of Chen Kai's big fish now.

The larger ships in Xu Long's fleet began to deliberately reduce their speed, and when they received the order, the smaller ships raised their sails one after another, trying to block the front of the larger ships. At the same time, the bow guns of the ships led by them opened fire, and the whistling shells made splashes on the surface of the river, and many of them poured the Guangzhou volunteers on the left and the face.

However, Xu Long tried his best to prevent Guangzhou Yiyong from approaching, but after all, he was against the current, and no matter how fast he reacted, he could not withstand the huge obstacles of the current to achieve effective blocking. Before the Qing army boats blocked the front, several Ming army boats that rushed to the front had already rushed to the front in a daze.

The arrows came condescendingly, and the woman, under the protection of the man with the door, used almost all of her means as a fisherwoman.

The lightning-fast speed of the boat continued to approach the Qing army ship in front, the hull of the ship continued to grow larger in her sight, until she raised her head and was able to see clearly the faces on it that were frightened, angry, or hesitant, she held the bamboo pole and leaned the boat as far as possible, and then the bamboo pole took off her hand, took out the fire fold from her body, softly bypassed the man who was holding the door panel, lifted the lid of the tung oil barrel, and uncovered the oil cloth spread on the powder barrel with her backhand, and lit it on the seal letter.

The woman casually threw the fire fold into the tung oil barrel, and at the same time roared at the man in the same boat, and the moment the fire of the tung oil barrel rose to the sky, the two jumped into the Pearl River water that was only a few degrees Celsius in winter.

There seemed to be arrows chasing behind her, but the woman jumped into the water, and the not very white figure was like a mermaid, just stretching her hands and feet, twisting her body a few times, and then deftly disappeared into the rolling Pearl River water.

After a blink of an eye, a loud noise came, and Xu Long's ship was shaken in the explosion, although it capsized, but when the ship balanced itself again, the experienced sailors on board had already noticed that the port side outer plate seemed to have been blown open several cracks, large or small, and the river water splashed from the cracks to the hull under the water pressure. On the surface of the river where the explosion occurred on the port side, tung oil overflowed and burned on the surface of the river on the port side, and the ship was like a pot.

The roar of water and fire was added to the port side of Xu Long's ship, and soon, the wood in the gap collapsed under the squeezing of the river, and it was not only the river water that poured in, but also the burning tung oil, which seemed to be about to drag the ship into the sea of fire completely.

On Dajisha, as far as Chen Kai could see, one after another Ming army boats fearlessly crashed into the Qing army's warships, and then at the same time as the figure jumping into the water flashed by, the explosion sounded, drowning everything in the sea of fire. He remembered that he seemed to have to install iron nails in the bow of the ship, so that it could be nailed to the enemy ship to ensure that it burned thoroughly, but he was pressed for time, and he did not have time to install these accessories, let alone concoct things such as Greek fire, so he could only teach Xu Long a good lesson with powder kegs and tung oil.

The small boats of the Ming army disappeared on the river one after another, in exchange for explosions and a sea of fire on the river.

At first glance, it seems that this is the case, and even the speed of the Qing army's fleet has inevitably slowed down, but what is the actual effect, Chen Kai really does not have even the slightest confidence. After all, in his impression, it seems that no one really has ever played like this.

Many of the Guangzhou volunteers who jumped into the water may not be able to return to shore alive, but the sacrifice did buy time. Chen Kai watched the water battle in the distance, and then shifted his attention to the transfer of the people on Henan Island. But as soon as he turned his head, trying to find the size of the crowd on the dock from the limit of the telescope, with Cai Qiao's exclamation, Chen Kai hurriedly turned his head.

The line of sight through the telescope soon found that at this moment, a fleet was tracing up the river from the channel from which the Qing army came, and on the mast of the first ship, a large flag was vaguely written with the word "Chen" - looking at the appearance of the flag, it was neither the chicken and dog bits and pieces that Shang Kexi had found, nor did it look like the people of the Zheng group......
