Zheng Cai finally gathered more than 14,000 pirates, plus more than 3,000 elite pirates in his headquarters who did not attack, and gathered more than 17,000 troops, he saw the neat team of the Jinhua Righteous Army pressing not far away.

The two wings are composed of militiamen wearing Ming army soldiers' brave clothes, wearing cotton armor and leather armor, and a battalion of 500 militia members form a phalanx, lined up in five rows, and 3,000 people form six phalanxes, three phalanxes on the left and right, swords, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, javelins, flying axes, everything.

In the middle is a phalanx of musketeers of the Jinhua Righteous Army wearing a blue-blue homespun uniform, carrying a Portuguese arquebus nearly two meters long, a long sword and a waist knife on their waists, and carrying a small round shield on their backs.

Three phalanxes lined up, there are more than 300 musketeers on the first line, in the middle is a phalanx of two hundred chasers and cavalry guards, a few horses in front of the phalanx, sitting in gorgeous Ming army iron armor, followed by their own flags, red background, with a square flag with big characters written on it, on the other side of a war horse cavalry carrying a Jinhua righteous army flag, a red background Venus square flag, and then a war horse flag holding a Ming army triangular golden dragon banner of the Longwu court.

The artillery position was once again attacked by the cavalry of the Jinhua Rebels, and the Portuguese and Dutch were taken prisoner, and the cavalry jumped off their horses and turned their guns on the Zheng Caibu pirates.

I have to say that the artillery of the Dutch is lighter than that of the Portuguese, and it is better manufactured, after all, the Dutch are a commercial country, the businessmen are rich, and the research and development is also good.

"There are not many of them, there are a lot of us, rush forward," Zheng Cai said to Zheng Lian beside him.

Zheng Lian retreated from Sanmen County, gathered his own people, and rushed in with six or seven thousand people, and when he came out and formed a team, there were only more than two thousand, these were elites, and those rabble had already been killed or escaped.

When Zheng Lian heard Zheng Cai's order, he immediately rushed to the front of the Jinhua Righteous Army musketeer phalanx with more than 2,000 people.

Zhang Qiang just snorted coldly and continued to look down at the information from the water master.

After Zhang Qiang sent people to order Zhang Ying to attack, an hour, the Jinhua Volunteer Army sailors who came out of the hidden bay quietly approached the sea surface of Longzhu Island, and when the wind direction was favorable, more than 100 fire-piloting ships were released downwind and rushed towards the Zheng Caibu pirate fleet that was densely piled up on the sea surface of Longzhu Island.

However, the ships of Zheng Cai and the combined Dutch-Portuguese fleet formed three zigzag piles around Longzhu Island on the water, and the people on their ships all looked in the direction of Sanmen County, staring nervously there, completely unaware that there were more than a hundred fire attack ships behind them heading towards them.

Their dense formation was to support Zheng Cai's troops attacking the county seat on land, but they forgot that there might be ships attacking them from behind, and they were also careless, because whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army, there was no naval division that could threaten them.

Zhang Ying stood on the flagship at the head of the third wave of the shock fleet, this is a medium-sized Fu ship converted into a sailor warship, it has been some years, and the speed is not fast, about three to five knots.

The first group was a single-masted boat with a length of only five or six meters, two meters wide and narrow, and those bird boats were all captured by the Qing army by the sailors, followed by some hand-cranked fishing boats, a total of 120 large and small.

There were more than 500 people in total, no matter what, after the fire attack, how many of these people could survive was a question, but he couldn't help it, the enemy was too strong, he couldn't help it.

The second group was a fast warship composed of sand boats and bird boats, no more than seven or eight meters long and three or four meters wide, and their purpose was to quickly rush into the enemy's chaotic fleet, and then disrupt the enemy's fleet, a total of eighty-seven ships, equipped with two furlong cannons on the bow, and on each ship stood five musketeers, two pole-carrying gunners, four or five jumping helpers, and the rest of the sailors of the fleet, more than 1,200 people.

And in the end, there were about thirty-five of them, all of them were small ships and some large birds, and large sand ships, with only seven medium-sized ships, and on each of these ships there were two furlong cannons on each side, two tiger cannons, and in the bow and stern each there was a six-pounder Hongyi cannon purchased from the Portuguese, five hundred sailors, five hundred jumping helpers, and three hundred musketeers, and these were all the ships of his sailors.

This sortie, like a tragic battle that seemed to end together, was successful, they could annihilate most of the enemy's ships, and if they failed, the sailors of the Jinhua Righteous Army would be wiped out.

Whether it is ships, artillery, sailors, combatants, or the experience of naval warfare of these people, they are no match for Zheng Cai's sailors, let alone the dozen or so large warships in Zheng Cai's sailors, those warships are bigger than the large Fu ships, and they look powerful, and the cannons are like thorns on the hedgehog's body, piercing his heart.

Fifteen miles, fourteen miles, the enemy did not react.

Twelve miles, the enemy still did not react.

Eight miles, in his telescope, there were people running on the outermost ships of the enemy.

Seven miles, the enemy seemed to be hoisting his sails and preparing firearms.

For five miles, he saw more and more people on the enemy ships running onto the deck, and some sailors climbing towards the mast.

At three miles, the small enemy ships that reacted the fastest began to raise their sails and intercept their first wave of fire attack ships.

Two miles later, the first cannon of the enemy rang out.

Zhang Ying put down the binoculars, during the day, you don't expect the sneak attack to be completely undetected by the enemy, today is a cloudy day, otherwise the enemy can find them twenty or thirty miles away, and they will not be allowed to approach fifteen or sixteen miles at all, and the enemy is also attracted by the battle on the shore, otherwise it would not have been close to seven miles, and the enemy would have discovered them.

The third team had already approached five miles, the first team had already lit the firewood on the ship, and in the last few hundred meters, the sailors drove the attacking ships on fire and rushed towards the enemy, ignoring the interception of the enemy's small fast fishing boats that rushed out one after another.

A mile later, the second group of ships engaged the enemy.

The first group of fire attack ships had already set fire to several small ships in the outermost part of the country, and the sailors were jumping into the water like dumplings.

The remaining fire attack ships were charging towards the innermost medium and large ships, and the second group had already fled one after another, and the smaller ships at the faster speed were attacking each other.

Three miles, his fleet reached three miles.

The small ships on the periphery of the enemy were overcrowded and were set ablaze by a number of fire attack ships, and smoke billowed and screams came out one after another.

A dozen or so fire-attacking ships had already approached the medium-sized ships, and were hit by a few of the enemy's musketeers and archers, and stopped in place, and in a moment the ships caught fire and drifted aimlessly down the current, crashing into the other ships.

More than thirty more ships rushed in and crashed directly into the large ships.

The second team had already rushed to the vicinity of the medium-sized ships, desperately attacking the enemy, getting closer, attacking each other, jumping into gangs, and more fireships crashing into the enemy's fleet.

All three of the enemy's flotillas were infiltrated by the attacking ships, the small ships on the periphery were routed by the ships of the second group of attackers, some were fleeing, some were fighting, the second team rushed to the medium ships and the large ships, at this time, the enemy had already reacted, but it was not known why the enemy's counterattack was not very fierce, as soon as they were approached by the ships, the guns of that flotilla were immediately dumb.

Zhang Ying rushed in with a third flotilla, and he aimed at the large ships.

The enemy reacted, due to the superiority in the number of ships, the enemy still caused huge damage to the two fleets in front of Zhang Ying, about half of the fire attack ships were destroyed, and the rest were also destroyed in the previous attack on small ships and medium ships, only a dozen remaining ships were still stubbornly assaulting, trying to find the enemy's large ships, or medium ships to attack.

And the small ships were hit by the artillery on the enemy's large ships, one by one was hit, one by one began to sink, and in the blink of an eye, a dozen ships were turned into pieces in front of Zhang Ying's eyes, more than a dozen were wounded and stopped in place, the sailors suffered heavy casualties, and the rest were either continuing to advance, or they were already in a melee with the enemy's small and medium-sized ships, some jumped on the enemy's ships, and some were jumped on the ships by the enemy.

Zhang Ying looked at a Clark armed merchant ship and said to the captain beside him, "Attack that ship,"

Other ships continued to search for targets.

"Boom" a fire attack ship crashed into an enemy medium ship, the gunpowder on the ship was hit by the enemy's fire canisters, and an explosion occurred.

Blowing himself up with the enemy, seriously wounding the enemy's medium-sized ship, he turned into splinters, and burned the enemy's ship.

Smoke billowed from the sea, and artillery rumbled.

On land, Zheng Cai looked at the smoke on the sea and listened to the rumbling cannons, his face turned pale.

Even if he can defeat the Jinhua Rebels on land, his fleet will not look good, it is ninety percent of his warships, and almost all of his belongings.

But he can't help it, he can't pass the test in front of him.

The 2,000 people who Zheng Lian rushed out were beaten by Zhang Qiang's firecrackers in the front and cried for their fathers and mothers, and before they could completely rush over, the 1,000 people in front collapsed.

Three hundred, a whole three hundred people were beaten by the continuous fire and fell on the way to the charge, as if they took the initiative to rush up to die, these people could not get close to the Jinhua Righteous Army sixty meters away, the corpses were piled up one after another, missing arms and legs, lying there in place The miserable screams made the pirates behind him tremble.

When his gaze fell, the last gunshot ended, and he saw Zheng Lian's war horse raise its front hooves, knock Zheng Lian to the ground, and then fall to the side, constantly twitching and wailing.

Zheng Lian was crushed under the war horse, screaming, struggling, screaming and crying like everyone else, and calling his name.

The smoke cleared, and the neat procession continued, the drums beating against his heart one by one.

"No,"

"No ——,"

"Charge the whole army."

He screamed like crazy.

Zheng Fu pulled the reins of his war horse, "My lord, my lord,"

Zheng Liang's face was like ashes, he turned his head to look at Zheng Fu, and then at Zheng Cai.

Zheng Cai shouted: "The whole army charges, there are many of us, crush him, his fire gun cannot be fired indefinitely, if it is launched quickly, it will explode." ”

Zheng Liang was right to think about it.

"The whole army charges, do you hear it, the whole army charges, crush them."
