Chapter 70: The Battle of Penghu VIII

There was a loud "thump", but the boat, which was slowly moving forward, suddenly stopped, and everyone rushed forward, almost falling to the ground.

"What's going on?" Shi Lang said.

"My lord, the red hairy Yi sank the ship underneath, blocking the channel." The fisherman said.

"What?" Shi Lang was taken aback and said, "Didn't you say it was good before?" ”

Although Shi Lang is in a hurry to take risks, he is by no means a reckless person, this Luermen does not know how many people have been sent to check how many times, and even Shi Lang himself has come here to probe at night. But what is going on today's changes?

With a "plop", two soldiers jumped into the water, and it took a while for someone to pull them up from under the water, and said, "Report to your lordship, there is a shipwreck down there." It's stuck on the bottom of the boat. ”

Shi Lang's face was pale, and he wondered whether he had leaked this place when he was first probing, or whether the Dutch had temporarily sunk many ships. It doesn't matter anymore.

How to solve important immediate problems.

Now that the ship is stuck here, it can be said that it is impossible to advance or retreat. Shi Lang does not underestimate the Dutch. They will find out before dawn at the latest.

There is not much time left for Shi Lang.

"Boom." A roar came from afar, and a column of water rushed into the sky dozens of feet away, and it was clearly visible in the various sounds of the waves and the wind.

Shi Lang chuckled in his heart, the Dutch would not fire the cannon easily, since they had opened the cannon, they must have found it.

"My lord, what should I do?" Several generals looked at Shi Lang.

Shi Lang said in a slow tone: "Let the ships behind withdraw in turn." This ship is ready to give up. ”

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute. The white-bearded fisherman said, licking his thumb with his hand and putting it in the wind.

"A big storm is coming. A big storm is coming. ”

Shi Lang said: "Are you sure? ”

The old fisherman said, "I guarantee with my life." ”

"Boom, boom, boom." A series of explosions, several shells hit the ship.

The waves rose into the sky and slammed into the deck. Wet Shi Lang and the people around him.

Shi Lang was wet all over his body, and there was a cold and piercing feeling, but there was a feeling of heat in his heart, restless.

"So the storm is coming, can we rush in?" Shi Lang took a few steps forward, the sea water flowed down his eyebrows into his eyes, his eyes instantly turned red and astringent, but he didn't feel it at all, his eyes widened, almost like he was about to pop out the beads of his eyes.

"This ----" the old fisherman didn't know what to say for a while.

The storm is coming, but when the storm comes, will the water rise here? will be able to put the ship here

Is the team sent in? Is it okay to send it in?

There are thousands of possibilities here, how can it be possible to pack a ticket.

But the old fisherman remembered the behavior of the Dutch in the big man. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

Shi Lang is not a layman, and he has not encountered a big storm at sea once or twice.

He actually knew the disadvantages of this, but at this moment he was willing to gamble and said, "Okay, just wait for a while and then withdraw." ”

"My lord, when will it be?" Someone said anxiously.

"There's no hurry." Shi Lang said: "If they can't hit, wait until dawn." ”

Another column of water rose into the sky.

Even if there were shells coming from everywhere, he knew very well that the Dutch were only aware of the movement here, and it was impossible for them to really be opaque. But under such visibility, if you want to hit, it's not that Shi Lang underestimates them, they really can't do it.

However, the longer you spend here, the more dangerous it becomes.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.

And the wind came.

The sea breeze roared suddenly, and the sails that had been hanging down opened one by one, and the waves rushed up in layers, and it seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Shi Lang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sky and the earth, the wind and clouds surged, and countless sea breezes swept the waves, along the narrow seaway of Luermen, and rushed into the inner sea of the Taijiang River.

The waves seemed to lift Shi Lang's ship and rushed into Luermen.

Behind him was the howling wind, the torrential rain like a pillar, and the roar of countless thunders. Shi Lang's face was covered with rain, he could hardly open his eyes, and the soldiers around him tried to persuade him to enter the cabin, but he didn't care at all, in the heavy rain.

After passing the Luermen, although it was still windy and rainy, and the waves were surging, the sea was much calmer.

The reason is very simple, after passing the Luermen, it is the Taijiang Inland Sea. The Inland Sea of the Taijiang River is the inland sea between the island of Taiwan and seven sandbanks.

Because there are seven sandbars blocking the waves outside, even the open sea is still stormy, but in the inner sea of the Taijiang River, although it is not calm, there is no problem in sailing.

This is one of the reasons why the Dutch chose this place as their station.

It's a natural haven.

Shi Lang secretly said in his heart: "If this wind is like heaven's help, today's battle will definitely make my Shi Lang's name famous all over the world." ”

Just when Shi Lang was ready to fight to become famous. Zheng Chenggong is also in a very dangerous situation.

Shi Lang broke into the inland sea of the Taijiang River. These seven sandbars protected Shi Lang's fleet. But Zheng Chenggong and the Dutchman's fleet did not have outside.

The storm along the coast of Taiwan is better than the inland sea of the Taiwan River, and the storm in the ocean is also better than the coastal area of Taiwan.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong's ship was brightly lit, illuminating the ship into daylight, just a few meters high waves

On Zheng Chenggong's boat, I don't know how many lights have been extinguished.

All the sails had fallen, but the whole ship still had a feeling of being involuntarily, sometimes pushed into the sky by the storm, and sometimes suddenly falling into the air, as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

I only saw the waves on both sides rushing to the sky. It's like a corridor.

With such a big bump, everyone tied themselves to the boat, and countless things that were not fixed were scurrying around, looking like the end of the world.

Sometimes the ship deviates to the left, sometimes to the right, and even deviates from forty-five, and is in danger of being caught upside down in the sea at any time.

To be honest, Zheng Chenggong has not experienced wind and waves, but it is the first time he has encountered such a big storm.

Even if Zheng Chenggong is in the dark, he may not be without gaffes, even though he feels that he has experienced storms, but he has decided that everything in his belly seems to be turned upside down.

Under such circumstances, even if Zheng Chenggong has great ability, it is impossible to control the whole army.

More than 10,000 sailors and more than 100 boats have been divided by the forces of nature. Become an island.

However, Zheng Chenggong is not too worried.

Because of this situation, Zheng Chenggong knew that his fleet was blown away by the storm, but could the Dutch be spared?

Under the power of heaven and earth, all people are ants. It won't be spared because that ant is a little stronger.

Originally, they fought all the way, but after nightfall, Zheng Chenggong lost all traces of the Dutch.

Zheng Chenggong understood at that time.

This battle is coming to an end, but Zheng Chenggong doesn't want to end like this, he wants to continue the pursuit, because the Dutch can't run far in the dark night.

I just never thought of it.

Suddenly there was such a big storm in the night. Disrupted Zheng Chenggong's plans. Zheng Chenggong endured the bumps of the waves, and at the same time, in a trance, thinking about the impact of this big storm.

"I'm afraid this battle may be over." Zheng Chenggong thought in his heart that this storm didn't know where to blow them away. It is not uncommon for such a strong wind above the sea to blow them hundreds of miles away in one breath.

If nothing else, even if the two sides reassemble the ships, the reintegration will take more than ten days, or even longer.

The Dutch battle also weighed the weight of the Zheng family. Although Zheng Chenggong did not have the certainty of trapping the Dutch fleet, the Dutch did not have the certainty of defeating the Zheng family here in the Taiwan Strait.

Originally, in this war, both sides had the intention of negotiating. After today, the two sides will probably focus on negotiations. Combat is complementary.

"Boom." I don't know what fell on Zheng Chenggong's head. smashed a bag out of Zheng Chenggong's head.

His other thoughts dissipated. Zheng Chenggong has no ideas, and his only thought is to pray for Mazu. Please bless Mazu Niangniang.
