Chapter 471: The Yellow Sparrow is behind
Zheng Zhilong stood on the deck of a Galen flagship, looking at his huge fleet with pride.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Cai and the others: "Has my meaning been conveyed?" If you catch that Wang Yue, you must treat each other politely, and you must not hurt you, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”
Zheng Zhibao laughed arrogantly and said: "Big brother, don't worry, what we want is those big iron ships, and we won't kill him." If the starting point can pay a certain price, just put him back. ”
Zheng Cai also said: "Big brother, don't worry, I have already explained this to my brothers." ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded reassuringly. He already knew that Wang Yue was in Taiwan, and it was likely that he would meet him at the Battle of Geranza.
Coming with the power of thunder, Zheng Zhilong firmly believed that he would win, but he did not have the courage to kill Wang Yue, because he knew that he might not be able to afford the consequences.
Wang Yue's current identity is very special, first of all, he is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and his identity is sensitive. Secondly, Wang Yue made many great contributions to the country in the action of defeating Jiannu and pacifying the Liukou, so Wang Yue's reputation among the people is also very high, and he has almost become the hope of quelling the chaos at home and abroad, in which the propaganda of "Ming Pao" is indispensable.
What Zheng Zhilong feared the most was the Tiance Army under Wang Yue, the Tiance Army fought from the south to the north, and Jiannu, the imperial court, and the Liukou were not opponents, which showed that the Tiance Army had extremely strong land combat capabilities. Therefore, if Wang Yue is harmed by himself, Tiance Army will never let him go, then his foundation in Quanzhou, Xiamen and other places may not be able to be saved, and he can only stay away from the mainland and drift on the sea in the future.
Zheng Zhilong, who is full of confidence, does not know what kind of situation he will face, but his confidence is not without reason.
Wang Yue looked at the reconnaissance images transmitted by the drone on the tablet, and his scalp was numb. Do you know what the concept of a thousand warships is? It was really densely packed, and it took half an hour for the drone to fly at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour to take a rough look over this huge fleet.
"Zhuang Suwen, tell me about your strategy for dealing with this battle!" Wang Yue looked at Zhuang Suwen who came over.
Zhuang Suwen snapped and said: "Commander, our warships have fast speed, fierce firepower, and long range, and they can gradually destroy the enemy in the movement." The humble opinion was to destroy the Dutch fleet first, and then turn back to deal with the Zheng family's fleet, which was easy first and then difficult. ”
Wang Yue nodded and said: "Yes, the enemy is huge in number and has many ships, I authorize you to use all firepower, including armor-piercing incendiary bombs and all kinds of naval guns, what you want is speed, to prevent the enemy from scattering and fleeing when he finds it difficult to defeat our army." ”
The armor-piercing incendiary bombs of the Tiance Army Navy were fired from Type 85 heavy machine guns, and in the past, the scale of use against enemy ships was controlled and the enemy was tried to capture as many enemies as possible.
The naval guns of the Navy include one PJ-26 seventy-six-mm naval gun of the dock landing ship, four AK-630 thirty-mm anti-aircraft cannons; two quadruple 37-mm anti-aircraft guns for the supply ship; There is also a 76-mm main gun on each of the two coast guard warships, and two quadruple 30-mm AK-630 anti-aircraft guns.
Ten battleships had a total of three naval guns of caliber 76 mm; AK 630 with a caliber caliber of 10,000 rounds per minute and eight quadruple anti-aircraft cannons; Two anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of 37 mm and a rate of fire of 2,000 rounds per minute.
In fact, these modern artillery pieces were used to deal with low-altitude missiles in the original time and space, but the effect of dealing with sail warships in this time and space was just, and the reason why they were not used frequently was mainly due to the service life of the gun barrel and the logistical pressure. But today's situation is different, and Wang Yue doesn't care so much.
"Great, let them all taste it today!" Since becoming the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, Zhuang Suwen has been trying to make himself more stable, but now his eyes are full of excitement.
Wang Yue smiled and said, "You go and arrange the combat mission, I believe you can do it well." ”
"Yes!"
The naval fleet of the Tiance Army remained on course and pounced on the Dutch fleet that had just sailed out of the harbor.
Why didn't the Zheng family join forces with the Dutch fleet and join forces to deal with the Tiance Naval Fleet? This has to do with Zheng Zhilong's strategy, but also with the delicate relationship between the Zheng family and the Dutch.
The Zheng family and the Dutch only have a trade relationship, and there is also competition and hostility in secret, and the level of trust between them is very low, so it is difficult to get along. This time, they temporarily planned to unite with each other to deal with the Tiance Army and Navy, but they were only forced to move.
Zheng Bin lobbied the Zheng family to send troops to help defend the city of Geranza, but Putmans rejected it, because he was very confident in the defense of the city of Geranza, and it was not yet to the point where the city was about to break and he wanted to ask the Zheng family for help.
Zheng Zhilong was also thinking about something else, he hoped that the Dutch fleet would entangle the Tiance Navy, let the Dutch consume some of the strength of the Tiance Navy, and suddenly appear on the battlefield again, surround and annihilate the Tiance Navy by surprise. Later, with Wang Yue as a hostage, the 60,000-strong army waved to Tamsui and Keelung, and easily obtained the belongings left on the island of Taiwan by the starting point.
It was an ideal strategy, it was none of his business how many Dutchmen died, he wanted the big iron ships.
Therefore, the Zheng family's huge fleet stayed forty kilometers away from the city of Geranza, and more than a dozen clippers observed the battle between the Tiance army and the Dutch, and once the situation was favorable, Zheng Zhilong would attack in a big way.
The distance of the sea antenna is twenty or thirty kilometers, and it is difficult to see the fleet forty kilometers away from the mast, with the speed of the Zheng family's fleet, it can reach the battlefield in an hour and a half, but Zheng Zhilong does not know that there is such a thing as a drone in the world.
In his experience, the great naval battles of his time were protracted, and the city of Geranza was unusually strong, so he waited for the outcome of the battle ahead.
"Damn it, dear Zheng, what about your Zheng family's fleet? Didn't you say that the first official would support Geranza? ”
Standing on the heights of the city of Geranza, watching his fleet meet the steel giants, Putmans' eyes welled with horror.
The silver-white ships were too big, the largest of them was almost twenty times larger than the large Galen, and although I don't know what the firepower was, the size and steel were really desperate, and the size of the Galen was so small in comparison.
Zheng Bin said in a hurry: "Your Excellency the Governor, don't worry, our eldest brother is leading a fleet to come, and with the defense of Relan City, it will be difficult for the Tiance Army to conquer in a short time." ”
"Oh God, I'm worried about my fleet, the enemy ships are just too big!" Putmans shouted in an exaggerated tone.
