Chapter 476: The Battle of Geranza

The huge warships of the Tiance Navy's fleet became smaller and smaller as the Apache rose and went, and the planes skimmed over the sea, and the high-speed flight gave Liu Ru a completely different experience, making her quickly forget her fears.

Through the on-board radar, Wang Yue discovered the location of the Zheng family's fleet. Ten minutes later, the Apache reached the sky above the Zheng family's fleet, and from the sky, the Zheng family's fleet was overwhelming, occupying a large area of sea under the shadow of sails.

With so many sailboats large and small, hundreds of boats competing for the current, it is indeed magnificent.

"Oh my God, this is the enemy fleet? That's too much, isn't it? Liu Ru looked at the huge fleet below, not without worry.

This time, the naval fleet of the Tiance Army came to attack the city of Relanza with ten warships, and the Zheng family fleet actually had nine ships, one of which was a passenger and cargo ro-ro ship left behind to carry out the task of capturing the Dutch prisoners who had fallen overboard.

Although the warships of the Tiance Navy are huge, and the enemy's warships are small from the air, they are too large in number.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "If you are a young lady, don't worry, you can just watch from the air." ”

He knew that although Liu Ru grew up in a water town, he knew very little about the sea. In fact, with the displacement of nearly 20,000 tons of dock landing ships and 23,000 tons of supply ships, if they rush into the Zheng family's fleet at high speed and make a few sharp turns, they can swallow countless sailing ships just by setting off waves.

Apache's presence in the sky also shocked the eyes of the Zheng family's fleet below.

"Big boss, look, what's that!"

Unlike drones, the Apache is not only much larger, but the roar of the propellers can be heard from a distance.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes were glaring, he lived to be almost forty years old, but he had never seen such a big bird, and the sound that this bird produced when it flew was so weird.

Anyone in the Zheng family's fleet who saw the Apache had their mouths wide open, and it was difficult to close them.

As Apache approached, some people finally woke up, some shouted loudly, some knelt on the deck and kowtowed, most people in this era were very superstitious, and many people regarded Apache as a fetish.

Wang Yue drove the Apache to hover over the Zheng family's fleet, and everywhere he passed, there was chaos, some panicked, and some worshipped.

Zheng Zhilong was also stunned, this thing is too weird! When the Zheng family's fleet was in chaos, the observing sailors on the mast came with news that nine silver-white ships had been found more than twenty miles ahead, and they were heading towards them.

"Big brother, it must be Wang Yue's Tiance Army Navy, only their warships are silver-white." Zheng Zhibao listened to the sailor's description and immediately judged.

Zheng Zhilong immediately picked up the monocular and observed in the direction of the Tiance Army Navy fleet, not bad! A fleet was heading for it on the line between sea and sky.

"The third child, Zheng Cai, and brothers, stop that thing in the sky, hurry up and stop the chaos and get ready to work!" Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars and shouted.

"Yes, big boss!"

The leaders of the Zheng family immediately took action to stop the chaos caused by the arrival of the Apache, and sped up their speed and rushed towards the naval fleet of the Tiance Army.

At 13:35, nine warships of the Nanyang Fleet of the Tiance Army Navy and a thousand Zheng family fleets led by Zheng Zhilong met on the ocean 28 kilometers southwest of the city of Geranza in Taiwan, so the history of this battle is called the Battle of Zhelanza.

Eight or nine kilometers apart, two Wuzhi-9 planes were lifted into the air one after another. At a distance of three kilometers, Zheng Zhilong began to arrange two hundred arson ships to take the lead, one hundred miscellaneous boats of various types followed up to charge from the front, and the other warships outflanked the Tiance naval fleet from the left and right flanks.

Only Zheng Lian of the Zheng family has fought against the Tiance Navy, and the Tiance Navy is a warship with large size, fierce firepower, long range, fast speed, and a warship made of steel, so Zheng Zhilong did not expect the ship-based artillery to play much of a role, and there was only one tactic, that is, to grab the ship by relying on the bang.

In view of the fast speed of the Tiance Army battleships, the Zheng family fleet has been divided into eight parts, heading towards their respective target areas, instead of immediately participating in the attack, their purpose is to block all the escape directions of the Tiance Army warships and compress the maneuver space of the Tiance Army warships.

Zheng Zhilong may have regarded the Tiance Navy warship as a nine-headed fierce beast, and he led the hunter team to hunt around. Aren't the Tiance Navy naval warships running fast? I will cast my net and hunt you, and you will have nowhere to run.

Of course, he was not confident enough to be able to surround the naval fleet of the Tiance Army.

From the process of meeting head-on, he found that the speed of the Tiance Navy's warships was indeed too fast, with more than twenty knots by sight, while the speed of his entire fleet was only seven to eight knots, and some ships could only speed up to thirteen knots.

Chasing is not winning, it can only be around. Zheng Zhilong is well versed in the way of Go, and he is also very experienced in facing the enemy, so he immediately arranged and set up a game, and those fleets that sailed to other places seemed to be unclear, but in fact, they were all chess pieces laid by Zheng Zhilong.

When the Tiance Navy fleet is entangled with its own central fleet, these chess pieces will move to the corresponding position, blocking the left and right directions of the Tiance Navy fleet, and finally encircling the Tiance Navy Fleet.

Zheng Zhilong only left a possible escape direction for the Tiance Navy fleet, and that was the city of Geranza, if that case, the Tiance Navy fleet blocked back in the harbor would become a turtle in an urn.

This is Zheng Zhilong's combat idea, if the battle is against the European fleet in this time and space, relying on the superiority of troops, Zheng Zhilong will indeed win.

However, the Tiance Naval Fleet is a cross-era navy, and it spans several generations, which Zheng Zhilong could not have predicted.

However, he already felt very strange from the fact that the Tiance Navy's naval fleet clearly saw that his own people were outnumbered, but they still ran headlong and did not run away and jumped out of the encirclement.

But the Tiance Navy Fleet didn't give him much time to think, because when it was more than two thousand meters away, the Tiance Navy Fleet attacked first.

one PJ-26 seventy-six-mm naval gun for the dock landing ship, four AK-630 thirty-mm anti-aircraft cannons; two quadruple 37-mm anti-aircraft guns for the supply ship; There was also a 76-mm main gun on each of the two coast guard warships, and two quadruple 30-mm AK-630 anti-aircraft guns, which opened fire one after another.

These naval guns all have fire control radars, and after Wu Zhijiu provided the coordinates, the computer immediately calculated the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and then launched a precise artillery bombardment on the Zheng family's fleet, and the first target was the nearly 100 warships that were the largest in the Zheng family's fleet.

Shells of various calibers spanned a distance of more than two thousand meters, constantly hitting the target, and then exploding one after another.
