The pirates on Jiushan Island also seemed to notice the fleet heading towards them.

They immediately reported the situation to the chieftain, Zheng Sanhu.

Zheng Sanhu had just vented his beastly desires, and when he heard the report from his subordinates that a fleet was coming towards Jiushan Island, he didn't react for a while.

"What do you say? Say it again! ”

"Dozens of ships are coming towards us, General."

Zheng Sanhu narrowed his eyes, and sneered silently for a long time: "Okay, okay, it seems that the imperial court can't hold it back." ”

Except for the Zheng family and the imperial court, it is impossible for anyone to afford so many ships.

"Come on, the sons and daughters are on guard and ready to go to war at any time!"

"Yes!"

The defense arrangement on Jiushan Island is not bad, which is why Zheng Sanhu is so confident.

There are not only forts but also cannons on the island, which can bombard the incoming fleet.

Zheng Sanhu is good at naval warfare, and defensive warfare is no problem.

These imperial court soldiers and horses who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the sky come rashly, so don't think about leaving again.

Zheng Sanhu will never allow anyone to find out the truth of the matter. So these people have to die.

He personally went to the west side of the island to supervise the battle, and the fleet of the imperial court was approaching in this direction.

Although he didn't see it very clearly, Zheng Sanhu could vaguely tell that these were lucky ships and Guangzhou ships.

Although the two are slightly different, they have one thing in common, that is, they are large.

Unlike inland rivers, where flexibility is emphasized, the bigger the ships in naval warfare, the better.

The larger the ship, the more crew it can carry and the more guns it can equip.

And both of these things directly determine the success or failure of naval battles.

In Zheng Sanhu's existing impression, the shipbuilding technology of the imperial court has lagged behind the times for many years, and the Longjiang Shipyard has been abandoned for many years. When did it start to get back to normal?

You know, it's impossible to build these ships without a year and a half.

In other words, the imperial court began large-scale shipbuilding a year ago, but it has been kept secret.

Hey, this little emperor has a city.

Zheng Sanhu asked himself, if he was a changer, he wouldn't be able to do such a heavy breath.

But it doesn't matter.

No matter how large the fleet is, it is difficult to achieve success without an experienced general.

The Zheng family's sailors are sharp and sharp, and they have rich experience in actual combat among generals.

Most of these generals were born in the sea, and they had been in the sea for many years in the early years, and they had developed a skill, which was by no means comparable to some court generals who had become monks halfway.

It's just that the western side of Jiushan Island is obviously less defensive than the southern side.

Whether it is the number of pillboxes or the number of artillery.

The main attack of the imperial court's fleet must also be due to this consideration.

It's just that it's so far away, how can the imperial court see it clearly in advance? This is a question that puzzles Zheng Sanhu.

Could it be that they can do sorcery?

Zheng Sanhu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, how could he Zheng Sanhu ever be afraid?

As the imperial court's fleet got closer and closer, Zheng Sanhu could clearly see the flag hanging on the mast, which was indeed the flag of the imperial court.

Zheng Sanhu took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare to fire!" ”

No sooner had he given his order than the sound of artillery could be heard. Only it was not his subordinates who lit the artillery, but the imperial fleet not far away.

The imperial army actually struck first and fired several cannons at the dock.

The gravel that was bombed on the dock was flying all over the place, and Zheng Sanhu's subordinates were all in a hurry.

Zheng Sanhu couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.

Did the imperial court want to punch the master to death?

"Don't panic, fight back and prepare to fight back! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! ”

Although Zheng Sanhu said cruel words, he knew very well that the army of the imperial court was not a group of inexperienced young people. On the contrary, they attack very routinely and with a sense of hierarchy.

And with intuition, Zheng Sanhu concluded that the artillery equipped by the imperial court was very powerful, comparable to the red-coated cannons.

This kind of artillery, even the Zheng family sailor division cannot guarantee that every ship will be equipped.

It is really not easy for the imperial court to be able to afford it.

Zheng Sanhu's subordinates are also elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time. Having calmed down, they immediately launched a counterattack.

It's just that the ships of the imperial court are in a state of movement after all. It's not easy for them to hit the target.

After rounds of shelling, only one lead bullet barely hit the hull, and the rest were basically missed.

There is no way to do this, the artillery technology at this time is not very perfect, and it is basically impossible to achieve accurate aiming, and can only be roughly hit in one direction. As for whether to hit or not, it depends on luck.

And Jiushan Island will not move, and it is relatively easier for the imperial court sailors to bombard it.

Zheng Sanhu suffered a dumb loss, although he was angry in his heart, he was helpless.

"Don't stop, keep firing! Keep shooting at Lao Tzu! ”

Seeing that his brother was suppressed by the momentum of the imperial army, Zheng Sanhu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

So far, at least, the imperial army has been calm and calm.

Their attack was not indiscriminate, but the Zheng family's army was in a hurry.

It's not going to go on like this. Once the momentum is overwhelmed, it is extremely difficult to turn it back.

Zheng Sanhu roared wildly and went to the fort in person.

He pushed away the soldiers who were about to operate the artillery and demonstrated in person: "Move faster, haven't you eaten in the morning!" ”

"Aim and hit again, you can hit two miles away!"

Under Zheng Sanhu's infection, the soldiers also felt a little ashamed and lowered their heads one after another.

They were indeed flustered.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are at sea after all, even if the scene is superior, as long as you can't complete the beach-grabbing landing, you are doing useless work.

And their foundation is on the island, as long as they are strictly guarded and do not give the imperial army a chance, they can continue to consume it.

What are they afraid of?

Thinking of this, the soldiers had confidence, and the hands that operated the artillery no longer trembled.

Seeing this, Zheng Sanhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the situation is stabilized. I'm afraid that the imperial army will punch the master to death and not give them a chance to react.

As long as he stabilizes, the more experienced Zheng Jiajun will definitely be able to win.

The battle is originally a competition of hard power, and relying on chicken blood can only be achieved for a while, and it will never last long.

He wanted to see what tricks the imperial army could have after the three-plate axe.

"Keep firing the guns, don't stop!"

The gunpowder reserves on Jiushan Island are sufficient, and it is impossible for the imperial army to fight them if they are consumed.

Zheng Sanhu wanted to tell the commander of the imperial court who was the king of naval warfare through constant bombardment.

Maybe the potential of the imperial court sailors is great, but at least for now, the Zheng family sailors are the only overlords of naval warfare.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong was also coldly observing the scene on the island. It's just that he can magnify the distant scene several times through the telescope, and he can see Zheng Sanhu's every move.
