After dodging the angle, Zheng Chenggong ordered the boat to start a counterattack.

As a serious naval warship, all ships were equipped with more than 20 guns.

Moreover, these artillery pieces are the most advanced artillery pieces manufactured by the Firearms Department of the Ministry of Industry, and their rate of fire and power are not comparable to ordinary field artillery.

The Guangchuan in front obviously did not expect the officers and troops to complete the counterattack so quickly.

Several buckshot bullets smashed on the hull of the ship, causing the ship to shake and tilt a lot.

It is impossible to escape, then it is a fight to the death.

All the seamen on the Guangzhou ship showed their fierce faces, and took the initiative to turn around and sail towards Zheng Chenggong's ship.

Looking at this posture, they want to fight for their lives and sink the ship of the official army.

Zheng Chenggong immediately saw it, but he did not panic at all, and calmly ordered the gunner to continue firing the cannon.

After rounds of shelling, even if the Canton ship was lucky enough not to sink, it was impossible to have a fast speed.

In this case, even if it collides, it will not pose a big threat to Zheng Chenggong's ship.

Zhang Huangyan held his breath and clenched his fists.

It was the first time he had experienced a naval battle, and everything seemed so exciting.

Brother Ming Yan really has the demeanor of a general, looking at his appearance, he is not panicked at all, he should be confident that everything is in the plan.

Zhang Huangyan couldn't help much, so he could only silently pray for the officials and soldiers in his heart.

The artillery attack of the Ming army was very fierce, and the speed of several guns in the Guangchuan Company had become very slow, but it still staggered towards the ship.

At this moment, it is no longer possible to fire guns.

Zheng Chenggong ordered all the officers and men on board to prepare for battle.

It is likely that the pirates on the other side are ready to die together, and gang jumping is inevitable.

Sure enough, when the Guangzhou ship and the Fu boat almost collided together, the pirates, who had long been holding back their anger, jumped onto Zheng Chenggong's boat and fought with the officers and soldiers.

Combat at sea is not as narrow as on land, and the narrow space is an unavoidable problem.

Rao is the large fortune ship that Zheng Chenggong is on, and it can accommodate a few hundred people at most on the deck.

The pirates on the Hiroshima ship poured in, and the back deck was full of people, and there was no room to dodge at all.

Zheng Chenggong is very familiar with the gang jumping operation.

His father, Zheng Zhilong, crisscrossed the coast of Fujian in his early years, relying on a fleet that was not afraid of death.

Each crew member in the fleet is specially trained to jump onto the other ship as soon as the two ships approach.

In naval battles, taking a ship is equivalent to taking a life.

If the land battle is defeated, you can still escape, and if you are defeated in the sea battle, you will have no choice but to tie your hands and capture.

Even if you jump into the sea, you will inevitably die in the end, and you will have to become a fish and turtle.

Therefore, the most important thing in the broadside battle is a brave word.

As long as you are brave and courageous, it is impossible to lose.

Zheng Chenggong himself has undergone strict training, and his basic knife skills are very proficient.

At this moment, he also drew his sword and rushed out of its sheath to kill.

Zhang Huangyan looked a little overwhelmed.

On the one hand, he wanted to rush forward to help Zheng Chenggong kill the thief. But on the other hand, he was afraid that he would cause trouble to others by going up.

After all, he hadn't even killed chickens, let alone killed them.

The sword hanging from his waist was just a decoration.

Hey, let's take a look first.

The battle was even more fierce than Zheng Chenggong imagined.

Obviously, this group of pirates is very experienced, and knows that they are outnumbered, so they occupy a corner and focus on defense.

Although the Ming army was numerous, it was impossible to rush up, so it could only launch a wheel war and rely on the numerical advantage to consume the pirates.

But in this way, the Ming army had to form a partial one-on-one situation with these pirates.

Although the soldiers of the Shence Army are brave, these pirates are not idle.

After a fight, both sides suffered casualties.

Standing in the distance, Governor Zhang Kentang of Denglai had a solemn expression. Only then did Yuan Weitai persuade him to go into the cabin to rest, but he refused.

As the highest-ranking official in Denglai Town, Zhang Kentang is fully responsible for this water division.

Now that the soldiers are fighting hard, how can he hide in the cabin and be that little daughter.

Zhang Kentang straightened his waist and stood there fixedly, watching the soldiers kill the enemy.

Zheng Chenggong saw that the opponent had formed a formation and put on a posture of defending instead of attacking, so he ordered all the firecrackers on the ship to assemble on the deck.

The easiest way to break through this dense defense is with firearms.

And the bird gun assigned by the Shence Army is the best in the whole Ming Dynasty carefully built by the Firearms Division.

Isn't it stupid to have such an advantage and not take advantage of it?

Soon the musketeers had completed all the preparations before shooting, and they aimed their guns at the pirates dozens of paces away, waiting for Zheng Chenggong to give the order to shoot these people into a sieve.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong's eyes were full of determination, without the slightest hesitation.

"Shoot!"

After the sound fell, the firecrackers shot lead bullets one after another.

The lead shot out so fast that the pirates were shot one after another before they had time to react.

The lead swirls into the skin and muscles of the pirates, and some shoot through it.

The pirates who were shot wailed in pain, and some even rolled on the deck.

"Keep shooting, don't stop!"

Zheng Chenggong roared.

The Divine Arms Gunners were already familiar with the three-stage strike, and at this moment the soldiers in the first row retreated to the end, and the soldiers in the second row fired again on top.

The pirates raised their shields.

But in their hands they were only shields made of thin pieces of wood, which could protect against arrows but not lead.

Buckshot shot through the wooden shield alive, mercilessly into the bodies of the pirates.

The pirates also tried to fight back.

But the only dozen or so bird guns in their hands were actually very average, and they were not enough to form the effect of fire suppression.

After the Ming army completed the three-stage attack, most of the momentum of the Haikou had been discarded, and there was no longer the bravery when the gang had just jumped and started to take over the battle.

Zheng Chenggong saw that the time was almost up, so he ordered the soldiers to press it with a knife.

Broadside battles were inevitable in naval warfare, and Zheng Chenggong deliberately allowed these soldiers to learn through actual combat.

The biggest difference between seaside combat and land hand-to-hand combat is that it is necessary to overcome the effects of hull shaking.

The soldiers of the Shence Army are also in the process of learning, and they will step on every step steadily, ensuring that there will be no accidents due to the shift of the center of gravity.

After a fierce fight, the pirates were killed and wounded, but they had no power to fight back in the face of the Ming army's heavy pressure, and the rest of the people only symbolically resisted and threw away their swords and surrendered on their knees.

Zheng Chenggong is still a little unsatisfied, and he thinks that these Haikou are too unbeatable. If this is on the coast of Fujian, I am afraid that I will not even be able to mix rice.

He ordered the Ming soldiers to tie up all the surrendered pirates, and then singled out the ringleaders for interrogation.

With these jobs, it's much easier to figure out where the pirates' nests are.
