"Admiral Zhang, you said it." A general of the Jinhua Volunteer Army was listening to it with great enjoyment, but Zhang Ying hung his appetite and stopped narrating.

Zhang Ying took a sip of tea and continued to pinch it before saying: "We are divided into four columns, and by taking advantage of the wind at that time, it is like two sharp swords, directly penetrating the enemy's dense formation like a table full of peanuts and beans. ”

"The Portuguese ships that rushed up were all facing us, and perhaps they thought that their 32-pounder caron guns on their bows could hurt us, but in fact they were ......"

He glanced around at his colleagues.

The army generals were dissatisfied with him and gave him a bunch of white eyes.

Zhang Ying smiled, "In fact, our fleet took advantage of this wind, the speed was very fast, and it was horizontal, this side of the artillery, eighty boats were nearly hundreds of cannons facing them, and the boats rushed up in twos and threes, trying to stop us and cut us off, it was just wishful thinking, and their three cats and two dogs were immediately blown to pieces by the artillery."

The first one may pass quickly, the second one will come by the means, and a dozen cannons will pass by, and even if one of them hits him, a cannonball is the size of a man's head, and when he goes up, there is a big hole in his deck, and the third ship will go up, and this time it will be more, because it has been shot? They will definitely have to hesitate, so the chances of hitting the third ship are even greater.

The fourth, the fifth, and the constant boats passed them a hundred and fifty meters away, and then the ships they rushed ahead of were all smashed to pieces and disintegrated in the sea.

The sea is cold, and the sea breeze is so strong, once a person falls into the sea water, it will become a soup chicken, and after a long time, the person's body temperature will be lost rapidly, so he will become a popsicle.

The second wave of enemy ships was still rushing forward, and there were more ships under this time, more than thirty of them, but there were birds for them, and they were shot one after another, and the artillery that could return fire was countable, but our guns would not stop, so these thirty ships were smashed and either stopped in place, or were destroyed Oh bow of the ship, began to sink.

The ship sank, and the sailors and soldiers on board jumped into the water like dumplings, one by one. ”

An army general who did not understand naval warfare asked strangely: "Since the ship is still there, why did they jump into the water?" Since you said that it was so cold in the water, wouldn't they have a few more minutes of life if they carried it on the boat for a while? ”

"Huh." Zhang Ying took a sip of tea.

"You don't know, when the big ship sinks, it will form a whirlpool on the water, if you don't jump into the water as soon as possible, then once you are swept into the whirlpool, then even if you are good at water, don't want to float alive.

The place where we fought was not willing to be from the shore, but only a few miles away, and the good men of the water, the sailors with great endurance, would have a chance to swim to the shore, and if you were swept up in the whirlpool, then you would not have even had that chance. ”

Another army general, whose home is close to the water's edge, continued Zhang Ying's words and said: "Yes, there are often whirlpools on the river near our home, if you encounter a whirlpool, even the best people in the water may die, the whirlpool has no bottom, it is terrible, in one summer, there may be more than a dozen people with good water nature, because of carelessness, or accidentally touch the underwater whirlpool and die."

It's in the river, the depth of the water is only one or two meters, if it's on the sea, you encounter a whirlpool, that more than ten meters deep, well, it's scary to think about. ”

"Huh." Zhang Ying crossed his legs, banging his legs and drinking tea.

Hours of fighting at sea, continuous sailing, and the humid climate at sea can still make people who are at sea all year round suffer from rheumatism and other diseases, and he cannot avoid them, so he often gives his legs a chance to rest and keep warm at every opportunity, which will reduce his pain.

A lot of people love to hear about the victory, and they love to hear about the details of many of the victories.

Because they will enjoy the joy of those victories, even if they did not achieve them, or they won against them.

The purpose may be different, but victory makes people feel more happy.

Confidence is even firmer, of course, all the victories of the Jinhua Righteous Army will eventually come down to Zhang Qiang's leadership, without Zhang Qiang, without this governor, they would not have the good life and current identity and status at this moment.

So when Zhang Ying continued to tell, they listened attentively and would not let go of every detail.

"By the time the Portuguese ships had broken their heads in front of us, the Dutch ships had already swept from behind and turned into artillery fire directly from the front." Zhang Qiang waved his hand vigorously.

"In less than two quarters of an hour, the Portuguese fleet was reduced to a pile of wood and garbage, dozens of warships, large and small, were smashed, and perhaps they would never again show off their might on our coast, and they would have to huddle in the harbor and castle with their sailors and army soldiers."

"What about the Dutch?"

"I've heard that they also have a lot of warships."

"By the way, there are also the Ming pirates on the other side of you, are they still there?"

The three generals of the Jinhua Righteous Army raised their concerns and the details of their concerns.

"The Dutch, well, they do have a lot of fleets, maybe they brought in all the ships from Batavia, more than a hundred ships, and in our first assault they lost only a few ships and wounded one or two, but they bumped into each other themselves in the next turn of ours."

"Do we have nothing to lose?"

"Yes, the Dutch may be inferior to our ships, but they are better at naval warfare." Two staff members of the General Military Office raised an unavoidable question.

Zhang Qiang nodded heavily, "Yes, we are not without casualties, in the process of the first assault, in the face of the locust-like pirate ships, we still suffered some damage, their fire ships burned at least five of our ships, they captured at least three of our ships, they don't want to die for the Dutch, the Portuguese, maybe they just want to get our ships, or want to kill the officers and soldiers." ”

"The Portuguese were not without gains, we had at least seven ships sunk by their cannons, eight or ten ships wounded by them, and then we had a gang fight with them, but they were all wiped out in the end, because we still had naval teams on board, the musketeers and infantry brothers who were sent on board by the Governor, and they heroically repelled the enemy, or died heroically, and there were too many enemies."

"But ——, that's not the point, in such a big naval battle, their attack power will not cause us much damage, and our second fleet quickly turned around and joined the ranks of the battle against the Portuguese and the Dutch, and we were almost first linked together, forming a sea encirclement, encircling the Dutch and some of the large lucky ships of the pirates on this side."

"Then, countless shells fell, and our ships fired and struck around them, just as the Mongols had done with those European heavy infantry teams before, shooting arrows around them until they exhausted their manpower, until they collapsed."

"Ha, what is said so affectionately, it must be a good thing." Du Ge also walked into the hall at this time with a bloody body.
