At dawn on the second day, the rumbling war drums sounded again at the mouth of the Qiantang River, and the uncle and nephew, who were discussing the enemy's situation, glanced at each other, picked up the wine glasses in front of them, compared them with each other, and then generously clinked glasses, and they were clean. Yu Zhigao said to Yu Guangsheng: "The little nephew will play the striker, uncle, you will defend the Qiantang River estuary, let's tell those pirates that wishful thinking does not exist in our Ming Dynasty." ”

Yu Guangsheng didn't say much, and arched his hand: "Nephew, you will go all out to fight against the enemy, if you don't do it, I will continue, and I must not fall into the prestige of our Daming Water Master." ”

There was no nonsense, Yu Zhigao commanded loudly outside: "Raise my handsome flag, beat my military drum, Fujian sailors, meet the enemy." ”

The fiery red battle flag of the Daming Naval Division fluttered, and the sails began to be raised one after another, and 500 warships faced the rising sun, with a breath of death, to meet the overwhelming enemy.

Yan Siqi attached great importance to this plan, so he personally commanded his fleet and launched this war. He was full of confidence in the victory of this war. He has always believed that fists are the foundation of survival in this world, and whoever has more say in this world should see whose fists are harder.

But he forgot one thing, the current Ming Empire, although his fists are weak, his backbone is still hard, and he is a backbone that would rather bend.

Yan Siqi has always expressed dissatisfaction with the battle situation under Hangzhou City, more than 30,000 men and horses, and it is very helpless to take a Hangzhou City with an empty defense, which makes him crazy. And in the face of the already incomplete Zhejiang Sailor in front of him, he couldn't annihilate it with one blow, and he was even more vigorous. As a result, at this time, Fujian's sailors actually came again, which greatly exceeded his expectations. Because according to the habits of the various armies of the Ming Dynasty, it is the norm not to save when you see death, and it is indeed rare to take the initiative to jump into the fire pit.

He slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said to the captains under him: "From today onwards, it will be a decisive battle between our bandit fleet and the Daming Naval Division." Eliminate the Zhejiang Naval Division, Fujian Naval Division, if we can't make the Ming Dynasty court, let's go north again, eliminate the Shandong Denglai Naval Division, directly hit Tianjin Wei, and directly attack the Ming Dynasty's Gyeonggi land. Until they agree to our terms. When he said this, he was violent, but he was very sad and depressed.

The conditions he originally offered were already quite humble, but he couldn't get the approval of the Ming court, what kind of confused emperor is this? Such a cheap exchange of benefits could not be accepted by the Ming court, is there any reason for this?

Speaking of conscience, Yan Siqi's conditions were indeed beneficial to Da Ming, but he forgot one thing, that is, humiliation, this is Chiguoguo's humiliation.

Although the army of the guards on land has been eroded, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty still maintain their pride. This kind of pride not only exists now, but also continues until the complete destruction of the Ming Empire. It's a spirit. The Manchu invaded the Central Plains, and it was the army that surrendered, and the navy at the last moment, in the port of Quanzhou, scuttled their last warship, which is the spirit, a kind of proud self-destruction.

The overwhelming battleship of the Daming Sailor rushed out, although the sails were stacked with patches, although the planks were rotten, but the sails were still proudly raised, and the battle flag of the Daming Sailors was still flying proudly.

Although the artillery is old, they have fired the first shot of pride.

The whistling shells flew over, just in front of Yan Siqi's fleet, causing a small splash, which made Yan Siqi feel very emotional, how did things come to this point? Why did you get to this point? He just couldn't figure it out.

But at this time, the war has already started, and there is no need to think about these things, completely annihilating the opposing fleet and achieving their own goals, which is the first important thing.

The command flag in his hand waved, the colored flag of the command was raised on the mast, and the entire fleet was lined up in a horizontal column, and the swarthy muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the fleet of the Daming Naval Division opposite.

All the cannons on Yan Siqi's battleship are the Frankie rapid guns purchased and captured from Europa in these years, they are sub-mother cannons, which are equivalent to the shell cannons of later generations, and there is no need to load them on the spot, fifteen sub-guns have already been loaded, so the rate of fire is extremely fast. Although there are disadvantages of short firing range, speed determines their advantage.

Yu Zhigao knew that his artillery was bulky and slow, but he had already rushed into the mouth of the Qiantang River and was in the position of being on the water, looking at the enemy's overwhelming battleships, the experienced Yu Zhigao immediately ordered to place mines outside the distance between the guns of the two sides.

is still the same sentence, mine is one of the black technology of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been at the forefront of the world, and the use of mine by the sailors of the Ming Dynasty has reached the point of perfection.

With Yu Zhigao's order, countless sailors and soldiers threw one after another into the river with huge wooden cages. These mines are floating mines, with the help of the buoyancy of the wooden frame, sinking and floating, densely down the river, the mines stretch out a long firing pin, as long as it touches the enemy's battleship, it will be ignited with flint, blowing up the enemy's bow.

Not much else, just this one, dense mines spread all over the river, and with the river water, rushed towards the enemy's fleet.

As soon as Yan Siqi saw these things, his head immediately became as big as a bucket, his position was indeed not good, he was at the lower end of the water, and he had already lost money at this point.

Calmly watching the black pressure of the mine float over, Yan Siqi immediately ordered: "Intercept the ship." ”

What kind of war situation and what kind of response? This is also tempered by a thousand times, but the sacrifice is greater.

One small boat after another rushed out of the fleet and went upstream, with three people in each boat, two of whom were responsible for rowing hard, and one of them holding a long hook rod rushed to the dense mines that went down the river.

When the boats met the mine array, they grabbed one mine after another with the hook bar in their hands and dragged them onto their boats. Using this method, not only can the threat of mines be removed from their own warships, but they can also gain something, which is really a double win. Then there were bursts of cheers on the river as they harvested mines. Because these things are indeed high-tech, not Yan Siqi and other pirates can make them, with these harvests, in the future, in the South Seas, there will be those red and white hairs who suffer from it, which is equivalent to the Ming sailor giving gifts to everyone.

Facing the enemy's cheers one after another, Yu Zhigao was not depressed by this, but a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The sparrow is in front, the yellow finch is behind, let you be proud first, and let you cry when you are still behind." ”

Naval warfare is not as people imagine, since the progress of science and technology, from now until the future generations, naval warfare is completely three-dimensional. Of course, there are no planes in the sky yet, but there are already huge Kong Ming lanterns, and although there are no advanced torpedoes under the sea, now Daming has semi-mature mines.

When one after another huge Kong Ming lanterns began to float towards the enemy group with 10,000 enemies, and when the torpedoes half-sunk at the bottom of the river flowed down the river to the enemy, the crushing of the enemy by Daming's black technology officially began.
