Hundreds of warships lined up on the river around Zhenjiang, ready to go.

Shi Lang, who was fully armed, stood on the bow of the command ship, and saw the battle formation of the Ming army on the river through the telescope, this fleet was not large, but it was mighty and majestic, especially the giant ship, like a high-rise building floating on the surface of the river, which was really daunting.

Don't look at Shi Lang's youth, but he has been mixed with Zheng Zhilong at sea for so many years, although he didn't catch up with the thrilling battle of Eighteen Zhi breaking into the world and standing on his own, but these big battles and small battles have also experienced a lot, whether it is fishing boats, merchant ships, warships, Ming Dynasty, South Seas, Oriental Oceans, what kind of ships he has never seen, but it is the first time he has seen such a huge ship.

Looking at the artillery fire devices on the ship, the rows of black holes in the muzzles from top to bottom are obviously hierarchical, and the Ming troops on the ship are holding muskets in their hands.

Although it is far away, a look at this scale and shape in the telescope knows that the equipment of this giant ship is absolutely first-class.

Shi Lang's face showed a little imperceptible consternation, this way from the southeast coast to the Yangtze River Valley, Daming's sailors and equipment he already knew well, how could such a huge ship be built by Daming? No way! Could it be that it was leased from another country? It is even more impossible, such high-end military equipment may not be available even in the Netherlands, how can such a weapon of war be called a national treasure?

For a while, a lot of strange question marks flashed in Shi Lang's mind, and he rejected them one by one.

However, Shi Lang, who has experienced a hundred battles and is well-informed, quickly calmed down, and there is nothing to be afraid of a behemoth, wasn't the Dutch warship known as the world's first-class back then? What was the result, in the Kinmen Strait, wasn't it also beaten to ashes by King Zheng?

Shi Lang is full of confidence again, what can the ship do with the gun, don't dare to say anything else about the water war, the surname Lin will definitely be given in vain!

Thinking like this, a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Shi Lang's mouth.

"Rush—"

Shi Lang gave an order, and hundreds of warships of the Zheng family's sailors went upstream, and thousands of sails competed.

At this time, Lin Yi stood on the giant ship Yang Wei, and he could see clearly through the telescope the Zheng family's judgment that the enemy ship was already within the striking range of the red-coated cannons.

"Fire!"

There were a total of 10 red-coated cannons of more than one ton, and they were ordered to aim at the target one after another.

"Knock knock knock...... Boom, boom......"

The huge war machine began to roar, and the ground shook, like a fire-breathing monster, throwing several cannonballs into the air, and then accurately falling into the fleet of sailors of the Zheng family's navy.

Shi Lang's warships were hit one after another, some small warships were directly blown to pieces, with a stream of flames wrapped in thick smoke rushed into the sky, a medium-sized ship was directly cut off by the waist, and some of the rebels on it were blown up into the sky, and some were blown into the water. Some ships caught fire, the generals were in a mess, some shells fell into the water, and the columns of water that soared into the sky rose one after another. The small warship was overturned on the spot, and the river suddenly became lively, with flames soaring into the sky, flames rising, and thick smoke billowing out.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of ships were wrecked.

"The Yangwei is so powerful, good, well played! Keep aiming and sink them all......" Xiao Ying behind Lin Yi participated in such a battle on a ship for the first time, the artillery fire on the land was flying, and she had seen a lot of rushing and killing thousands of horses, especially such a huge ship on the ship, she was still the first time, this scene really shocked her, she couldn't help clapping her little hands, elated, excited.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "It's a bit of a waste for such a huge ship to hit them, and it is even more effective to raise your might on the sea." ”

……

"Fire!" Shi Lang roared angrily.

Of course, Shi Lang's battleships are also equipped with artillery, but their biggest cannon is the thousand-pound Franc machine, which is much inferior to the red-coated cannon of more than a ton, the range is several miles apart, and the power of the cannonball is not a grade.

As a result, the shells of the Zheng family's naval division all fell in the water in front of the Ming fleet, only stirring up one column of water after another, and then scattered on the river, nothing more, not to mention that there was no threat to the Yangwei and the accompanying ships.

They also knew that they didn't hit, so they only accelerated forward, closing the distance and hitting again, but then they were hit and destroyed by the shells of the oncoming redcoat cannons.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lang's fleet was blown into disarray, and the river was full of dead and wounded, all his generals and warships. Looking at the battle formation of the Ming army again, it was still unscathed, neat and tidy, and pressed the river.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lang not only gasped, the other party's firepower was too fierce, especially the firepower of this giant ship was too far, their firepower was simply unreachable, and it was defeated before it could be contacted, how could this work? How high the green tendons on Shi Lang's forehead jumped.

Defeated so quickly, of course he was not reconciled. Shi Lang saw that the river was not wide, and immediately took measures, he ordered his subordinates to connect some warships, mainly some damaged warships, with iron cables, after being connected together, lined up in a row in the middle of the river, blocked the river, and then loaded with firewood and grass and poured oil.

After doing all this, Shi Lang led his fleet back, and then fired rockets at the ships, and in the blink of an eye, flames flew up, smoke billowed out, and a fiery dragon appeared on the river, locking the river.

At this time, Shi Lang led the fleet down the river for several miles, but he stood on the bow of the ship, looked at the soaring fire dragon on the river through the telescope, and was very proud in his heart, and immediately ordered the fleet to stop and turn around, ready to counterattack at any time, as long as the Ming army was blocked by this fire dragon, they would pounce on it and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

At this time, Lin Yi stood in the observation cabin of the giant ship and looked at it, the corners of his mouth curved slightly in an arc, Shi Lang really has a trick, enough for a military strategist, he wants to use this method to stop us, let us run aground and then clean us up, carving insect skills, isn't it a mantis arm to block the car?

"Concentrate your fire!"

Lin Yi gave an order, and the Yangwei led his formation to slow down, and the guns on the ship lowered their muzzles one after another, firing at this fire dragon with ten thousand cannons.

"Knock knock, boom......"

Earth-shattering explosions sounded one after another, Shi Lang, who was a few miles downstream, could hear it clearly, and he was so shocked that he quickly raised his binoculars.

Lin Yi immediately ordered Yang Wei to stop advancing, and ordered the remaining more than 100 warships to rush forward, and the soldiers and sailors on the ship began to clear the obstacles one after another, holding knives, guns, cats and other equipment, and launching the water.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several big battles in the back approached the giant ship and replenished the ammunition and other ammunition on the Yangwei.

Shi Lang felt that the opportunity to counterattack had come, and immediately ordered his fleet to swim against the current.

Although in the previous battle, Shi Lang's fleet suffered heavy casualties, but it was not injured, and there were still two or three hundred large and small ships, which had the strength to counterattack.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lang's fleet was full of rivers again, and the black pressure came against the trend. But this time, before going 500 meters, the earth-shattering cannon rang out again.

In Shi Lang's stunned gaze, the fire dragon on the river completely disappeared, and the river became unimpeded.

The more than 100 large and small warships of the Ming army quickly rushed in front of the Yangwei to open the way for the Yangwei, and the Yangwei followed.

The fire dragon he set up basically did little except burn dozens of his large and small warships.

"Withdraw! Quickly retreat—" Shi Lang immediately gave such an order.

The soldiers and generals under his command were all stunned, and they were simply dizzy when they advanced and retreated for a while.

But it was too late, and just as the fleet was making a U-turn, the Youngers had already discovered and locked on to the target, and opened fire decisively.

The red-coated cannon and the thousand-pound Franc machine achieved long-range and short-range firepower coverage.

At this time, Shi Lang's fleet on the river is still in the process of turning around, two or three hundred warships are moving forward, and it is not easy to retreat suddenly, it will take time for people to turn around, not to mention so many warships going against the river? Without machines, relying on the power of the wind and sailors, it is not easy to turn backwards and escape en masse!

Some ships turned, and some ships just started to turn, just then countless shells flew in, the explosion was deafening, countless ships were hit and sunk, and the number of soldiers killed and drowned was uncountable.
