Volume 4 Chapter 27 The Inexplicable Great War

The vanished Japanese invaders reappeared, the long-calm southeast sea area of gunsmoke reappeared, and a major war was staged again in the eastern sea area of Nanzhili.

However, this time, it was not the Daming Navy Division that was encircling and suppressing the Japanese Invaders, but the Japanese Invaders were plundering Wang Zhi's fleet.

Well, strictly speaking, Wang Zhi is the real leader of the Japanese Invaders, and in this war, it is really impossible to tell who is the Japanese Invaders.

In short, this matter is a bit chaotic, and it is tantamount to a fantasy when it comes to going to the court.

Wang Zhi has not done any business since he returned to Yang Cong, because there is no need, the trade at sea has been monopolized by them, and the silver earned every year is not less than millions, why should he do that kind of business on the belt of his head and pants.

He really didn't expect that he didn't even go to rob others, and there were still people who dared to plunder his fleet.

What are you kidding, looking for death?

At first, he didn't react at all, so he was stunned by the other party, how could he have imagined that someone would dare to beat his idea.

However, once he reacted, the other party would be confused.

Although his fleet was not equipped with the imperial standard muskets and artillery, there were still a lot of homemade earthen guns and earthen cannons, and the earthen guns and earthen cannons were incomparable with the imperial court standard muskets and artillery in terms of range, but they could not support his ships more.

The momentum of the other party is quite scary, in fact, there are only thirty or forty Cangshan boats, there are hundreds of large and small fortune ships under his hands, and there are also Cangshan ships, Canghai ships or something, can you be frightened by these thirty or forty Cangshan ships?

With his order, more than 100 merchant ships under his hand were like taking medicine, facing the artillery fire, and rushed forward frantically, because they all knew that once the distance was close, the artillery of the imperial court would suffer a loss, you must know that most of the artillery range of the imperial court was more than two miles, and when the distance was long, it was only the share of being beaten, and the range of their earth cannons was within two miles, once the distance was close, it would be the turn of the other party to be beaten.

This big battle is really a bit inexplicable, it has been shelled twice, and Wang Zhi doesn't even know who the other party is.

So, what is the origin of the opposite fleet, not only dare to attack a maritime overlord like Wang Zhi, but also equipped with imperial artillery, are they really a widow?

Of course not, although most of the people in the fleet that suddenly appeared were dressed in Dongying costumes, there were not many real pirates, most of them were pirates under the hands of the four giants of the original maritime merchants, or rather, they were the crews of the original maritime merchants!

Yang Cong didn't kill all the people under the four giants of the maritime industry like Zhu Kun, he just cleaned up those main culprits, as for the crew or something, he let it go if he could, after all, people are ordinary people along the coast, and the family is also dragged with their families, and they all are killed, how many tragedies will it cause.

Unexpectedly, not only did these guys not thank him for not killing him, but they even got entangled in intercepting Wang Zhi's fleet, what is going on?

This, naturally, was instructed by someone.

The people who instructed it were Ningbo Tu and Yuyao Xie, and it was Yuyao Xie's descendant who led the fleet to intercept Wang Zhi, Zhao Wenhua's brother-in-law, Xie Shixian!

Xie Shixian is also a famous son in Zhejiang and Fujian, when the maritime tycoon was still in control of the maritime trade, he was simply unstoppable, what the county, the prefect, the prefect, and even the political envoy did not pay attention to him, at this time, although the maritime tycoon was cleaned up by Yang Cong and almost couldn't raise his head, his arrogant temperament still did not change at all.

On the handsome ship, he sat alone on the top of the special cabin, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the approaching Wang Zhi fleet, his face full of disdain.

This Wang Zhi, doesn't it look very good, this can't be stupid, dare to come up and die!

This second ancestor is a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything.

However, the people standing beside him are not the children of a family who have no experience in naval warfare, they are all thousands of households or even commanders in Ningbo or Zhejiang coastal areas!

When Yang Cong was the governor, they were forced by Yang Cong's prestige and did not dare to blatantly support the maritime tycoons, and at this time the governor of Zhejiang was replaced by Zhao Wenhua, the son-in-law of the Yuyao Xie clan, and they naturally "changed their faces" and returned to the arms of the maritime tycoons.

They are different from Xie Shixian, a stunned young man, they still have a little understanding of Wang Zhi, the "leader of the Japanese bandits", and they have rich experience in naval warfare.

As soon as Wang Zhi's fleet accelerated closer, the commander of Linshanwei couldn't help but remind: "Lord Xie, be careful, Wang Zhi is a frenzied Japanese leader, he rushed over so desperately, he must want to take over with us, desperately!" Moreover, it is rumored that there are a lot of earthen cannons on his ship, and once we get close, we are very likely to be shelled, or we will fight while retreating, as long as we maintain a distance of more than two miles, Wang Zhi's fleet will only be beaten. ”

The title of "Lord Xie" Xie Shixian enjoys it very much, because he is hanging, he knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he has not even been admitted to the show, and it is basically impossible to be an official, and it is impossible for others to call him "Lord Xie".

At this time, he finally led the fleet to clean up Wang Zhi because of his brother-in-law, and naturally he had to live the addiction of being an "adult".

The commander of Lin Shanwei called him "Lord Xie", and he really enjoyed it, but he didn't like what this guy said.

Withdraw?

Are you kidding!

He didn't know how to pretend to understand: "The art of war has clouds, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions." We are now in high morale, and this retreat does not mean that we are afraid of them, and doesn't it have a great impact on morale? Besides, we still have muskets, what if they come up, and it's not just for the guns? I can't retreat, this retreat, the morale will be gone, give the order, keep firing, give me a hard bang! Fight while retreating, when do you have to fight, Wang Zhi, this reckless man, rushed up, master, I just want to fight quickly. ”

What kind of mess is this?

You also know the art of war?

When the commander of Linshanwei heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but he was the eldest young master of the Xie family, the brother-in-law of Zhao Wenhua, the governor of Zhejiang, who offended others, and he was afraid that the commander would come to an end, so he could only frown, and he didn't dare to say anything about rebuttal.

He was so deflated that the other thousands of households and the commander didn't dare to speak, and everyone could only watch Wang Zhi's fleet continue to approach, staring dryly!

Wang Zhi saw that the other party didn't mean to distance himself at all, he only knew that he was desperately firing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a disdainful smile, the guy opposite, I'm afraid I don't know how fierce your grandfather Wang's firepower is, right?

As soon as the fleets of the two sides approached the two-mile range, he did not hesitate to order: "All ships, ignite, open fire, and bombard Lao Tzu." ”

This guy, although Yang Cong has not equipped him with a court-standard artillery over the years, he himself has not been idle, anyway, he has a lot of money, earthen guns and earth cannons or something, it is a powerful build, and he can build as much as he can fit!

His fleet, the firepower is not ordinary, even the smallest Cangshan ship is equipped with several earthen cannons, as for the Daifuku ship, it is at least more than a dozen, he gave this order, and the sea suddenly exploded.

"Boom, boom", I don't know how many artillery roars sounded, and the shells rained down on the opposite flotilla.
