Indeed, Liu Ximing's initial departure from Zheng Jiashun was only three third-class battleships of 1,500 tons, that is, a displacement of 20,000 stones.

However, after many explorations by the Liujia Shipyard, the three flagships, such as Sun Wu and Wu Qi, are all upgraded versions of 1,800-ton warships, that is, 24,000 stones, which are of course even more huge.

After seeing clearly that the opposite side was full of plywood boats, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but pat his thigh, "Damn it, it's going to suffer, hurry, let the dinghy hurry up." ”

Before the fleet under the Zheng family could react to why their fifth master was in a hurry, they saw that the Luzon fleet, which was originally heading straight towards their own house, actually began to turn.

What kind of road is this, it's still fucking miles away.

The three Luzon fleets formed a curved serpentine on the outer sea of the Penghu Islands, and the You Degao fleet, which was lined up opposite Zheng Zhibao's fleet, opened fire first.

As soon as the three cruisers at the front of the fleet turned around and aligned with the Zheng family's fleet, white fireworks erupted from the right side of the ship.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh"

Dozens of artillery pieces are gathered together, and this scene is magnificent.

However, in the vast sea, such a scene is nothing, and the shots of the three cruisers all missed.

But their shots were not useless, and the lookouts on the cruisers observed the location of the shells and again began to transmit flags to the ships, providing data on gun positions.

"The target is 317 degrees northwest, 47 degrees and 35 minutes, hair."

On the Sun Wu, the behemoth-like six-inch cannon opened its huge mouth.

With a "boom", a huge iron pellet weighing more than ten catties flew out at high speed, smashing a huge wave on the sea.

"Quick, quick, quick, row up."

In the Zheng family's fleet, Shi Tianfu, who was in charge of directing the charge of the boat, watched from behind.

Who would have thought that the enemy fleet would have such a powerful fire suppression, and if the distance had not been closed, the battle would have hung in the air today.

On the surface of the ocean, the Luzon fleet composed of three long dragons continued to emit white smoke, and between the Zheng family fleet and the Luzon fleet, more than 100 small arsonist ships and sub-mother ships were desperately approaching the Luzon fleet.

The other dozens of large and medium-sized warships of the Zheng family were in a very embarrassing situation.

If you want artillery, you can't hit it, and it's not as good as the other party in terms of quantity.

The main battleships developed by the Zheng family, the large bird ships and the Fu ships, only carried 24 guns, compared to the six to eight guns of the warships of the Ming Naval Division in these years, which were naturally far superior.

But to have a hard fight with the Luzon fleet, hehe, it's just wishful thinking.

As for escaping, don't think about it, after that, the Zheng family has been running Penghu for many years, and they fled without a fight, and they all know what Zheng Ye will do with it.

On the Sun Wu, You Degao observed the situation on the battlefield, with a smile on his face.

The position occupied by their own fleet is really good, and it just occupies the position of the upper hand.

It is June now, and the Taiwan Strait is mainly southwesterly, while You Degao and others are in the southeast, and Zhengjia is in the northwest.

So even though there were hundreds of small boats such as arson boats and fire eagle boats desperately approaching, You Degao was unmoved.

The Zheng family went against the wind, just giving themselves enough time to attack.

"Hit"

The slogans of the gun commanders on the three fleets continued to sound, and the sea outside Penghu was like dumplings, and dense shells were fired one after another, splashing on the surface of the ocean.

In the dense artillery fire, the boats of the Zheng family were constantly hit by shells.

The smallest caliber of the Luzon fleet were all four-inch guns, equivalent to 24-pounder guns in Europe, and it was no problem to sink these boats directly without saying that they would be eroded for several miles.

The short six-mile sea route has become the cemetery of the Zheng family's sailors, and after more than half of the journey, more than 60 or 70 small boats have been sunk, and the ocean is full of wooden debris and Zheng sailors who are floating for help.

"Quick, work hard, it's coming soon, fire oil ready!"

Seeing that there was only less than 3 miles left, the remaining Zheng family's arson boat used its strength to row forward with all its strength.

At this time, a burst of flags suddenly came from above the Luzon fleet, ordering all ships to stop and be blocked by frigates, covering the battleships to retreat.

The frigate has a displacement of 6,000 stones, almost 450 tons, and precisely because of its smaller displacement, it is more agile in its activities, and it is a kind of schooner.

But even the frigate is much larger than the Zheng family's main battleship with a displacement of about 200 tons, Fufu.

Behind the Zheng family's boat, Shi Tianfu watched blankly as more than a dozen small frigates of the Luzon fleet came up from the rear, blocking the front of the battleship, and using his maneuver advantage to get close to the Zheng family's arsonist ship for a close attack.

"It's over", Shi Tianfu's legs and feet were weak.

Seeing that even these small warships were carrying more than twenty guns, Shi Tianfu already knew that it was impossible for his side to win.

"Where did this freak come from", Shi Tianfu stupidly watched as a small frigate ran over the arsonist ship directly, and the Zheng family soldiers desperately set fire to the ship as if it had no effect on them.

"They've got something on the bottom of the boat!"

Shi Tianfu was on the Junk ship, and a sharp-eyed soldier screamed.

At this time, everyone saw the reflective side of the frigate's underneath, and a sense of despair instantly dispersed on the ship.

"Fight with them!"

In front of the Zheng family's fleet, the soldiers of the Zheng family, who had already been killed, gritted their teeth and rowed forward regardless of life and death.

Seeing that a frigate was only about 20 feet away from him, the soldiers on the small boat cheered and were about to ignite the fire oil in the ship.

At this time, dozens of muskets suddenly stretched out from the frigate on the opposite side, and they were all aimed at the boat.

"Bang", "Bang"

Four's bullets scattered sawdust from the arsonist ship.

The arson ship was originally a one-time supply, so naturally no one would install the things in the cabin, and the ten Zheng family soldiers on the entire ship were beaten into holes and fell in a pool of blood.

On the sea, dozens of Zheng arsonist ships always broke through the encirclement and successfully ignited several ships of the Luzon fleet.

But such a result was meaningless for the entire battlefield, and the Luzon fleet had ample time to extinguish the fire and transfer personnel and supplies.

Seeing that the incoming boats were cleared by the frigates, the battleships and cruisers in the rear were once again powerful.

The roaring artillery fire continued to sound, and the dozens of remaining warships of the Zheng family would soon be wiped out.

"Fifth master, we can't beat it, let's run away."

Shi Tianfu, who was supposed to be in charge of supervising the front-line war, saw that the situation was not good, so he asked the boat to approach Zheng Zhibao's ship, and shouted directly across the sea with a crying voice.

Listening to the rumbling sound of artillery fire in his ears, and seeing his own warships constantly bursting out a burst of sawdust, Zheng Zhibao's eyes were red, and he roared loudly:

"If you want to escape, you can escape, this Penghu is where my eldest brother's foundation is, Lao Tzu can't just leave."

Shi Tianfu ignored Zheng Zhibao's clues, but looked at several of Zheng Zhibao's cronies across the boat.

"Grass your mother, Wang Er, Li Yu, and if you have any eyesight, take the fifth master away."

Zheng Zhibao's subordinates suddenly pounced on him, hugged Zheng Zhibao one after another, and cried out like a mourner.

"Fifth master, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, we still have to preserve our strength for the uncle."

This sentence suddenly woke Zheng Zhibao up, "Yes, we have to bring the fleet back." ”

He turned his head sharply and ordered loudly: "Order the whole team to turn around and go to Quanzhou, and send another person to Penghu to keep them on guard." ”

The Zheng family's fleet of nearly 200 ships currently has only more than 50 ships left and the strength to fight, but at this moment their advantage in the downwind is highlighted again.

Because it was a U-turn and sailing downwind, the Luzon fleet could not catch up.

Seeing that Zheng Zhibao escaped from the encirclement with the remnants of more than 30 warships, You Degao notified the entire fleet with an unhappy face, captured large and small ships on the sea, and prepared to attack Penghu.

Finding that Zheng Zhibao had led the team to escape, more than a dozen ships in the encirclement of the Luzon fleet obediently raised their hands and surrendered under the threat of hundreds of artillery guns.

A few ships still wanted to resist stubbornly, but they were hit by hundreds of shells in the eyes of everyone, and they fell silent directly and slowly.

At this moment, the Zheng family's sailors were even more frightened, and they didn't dare to have any more crooked thoughts.

Leaving ten cruisers and frigates to collect the prisoners and save the Zheng sailors who had fallen overboard, You Degao took the remaining battleships and sailed towards Neiyu Lake in Penghu.

"It's still the second brother who is benevolent and righteous, saying that the Zheng family and I are all Chinese people, and I want to wait for the indiscriminate killing, if you want me to say, it's best to just throw it into the sea and feed Wang Ba, save trouble."

On the Sun Wu, the captain Jiang Baolin couldn't help but complain to You Degao.

"Bastard boy, second brother, this is called thinking long-term, we need to use more people, every Han person is of great use."

While observing the movement in the Penghu Islands, You Degao slapped Jiang Baolin on the shoulder and scolded with a smile.
