The cannon roared, and the water column soared into the sky.

Zheng Zhibao stood solemnly on the bow of the boat, his fists clenched, his face was pale, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

"My lord, there are still about five miles from Jinshanwei."

A lieutenant general said while wiping his sweat.

In the past half an hour, the Zheng family's fleet has suffered unimaginable heavy losses. As the distance narrowed and the Li family's shooting became more and more familiar, the hit rate became higher and higher, and in just five or six miles by sea, more than 20 of the Zheng family's warships were hit one after another, and more than five warships were hit more than twice, which can not be said to be a heavy loss.

The casualties of warships directly hit by anti-personnel grenades were at least sixty percent or more.

And as the distance continues to close, the number of shells continues to increase.

On the contrary, although the three red-clothed cannons on the Sanjo Daifuku ship have been firing, Zheng Zhibao himself wants to dismantle the red-coated cannons, more than a mile, and the artillery of this era is really not accurate.

Rumble!

Another ship was hit, and screams followed.

"My lord, no!"

The adjutant general couldn't help it, and boldly persuaded: "The casualties are too heavy, why don't you retreat first?" ”

"Retreat?"

Zheng Zhibao was furious, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "You let Lao Tzu retreat?" ”

"My lord, the other party's artillery is too powerful!"

The adjutant general stubbornly said: "The red-coated cannon can only have a chance to hit the opponent within one mile, and the remaining Franc machine guns and tiger squat cannons have to be within five hundred steps to have an accurate head, and the opponent's artillery is getting higher and higher, and when it comes to the warships that can still be intact within a mile, I am afraid that there are not a few left, and I can't sacrifice the lives of my brothers senselessly!" ”

Zheng Zhibao was furious, and when he was about to cut the lieutenant general, a cannonball fell five meters away.

Rumble!

The water column soared into the sky, and countless pieces of iron shot out in all directions.

Ahh......hhh

In the scream, no less than twenty soldiers and sailors near the side of the ship died in an instant, Zheng Zhibao snorted, his face was swept by a piece of iron, and suddenly the skin and flesh rolled up, and the blood flowed like a column, just a little bit, and his head had to be pierced.

"Withdraw!"

Zheng Zhibao's heart was broken, and his anger was instantly dispersed, and he couldn't send it out again.

Sailing on the sea is different from charging by land, five miles away is a trench for a huge warship, and it will take at least half an hour to cross this distance, and with the frequency of the opponent's artillery fire, this time is enough to shoot thousands of cannons.

Zheng Zhibao didn't dare to imagine that after the fleet docked, there would be a few ships left intact in the end.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The roars came and went, the imposing Zheng Jiajun no longer had the slightest fighting spirit, and the sailors had long lost their fighting spirit, and finally received the order to retreat, and immediately turned the sails and rudders, changing the course, but how could it be so easy for the big ship to turn around.

It took time for the flotilla to turn around, and the guns were still roaring.

A few miles away, on a mountain, a group of people stopped to watch.

And standing at the forefront was none other than Jin Shanwei's two commanders.

Behind them are the servants and the thousands of deputy households, and the families of the officials are all around.

The Zheng family's fleet is still coming from the coastline, and the straight-line distance from here to the Zheng family's fleet is less than a mile, and the fleet can be seen clearly from a high position, but at this moment, everyone's faces are solemn and dignified.

"Master Cui, this Jinshanwei's sky is about to change!"

Shi Jian looked at Cui Long and said quietly.

Cui Long said with a solemn face: "It can hit the enemy ten miles away, not to mention that such a powerful artillery has never been seen, I have never heard of it, but I don't know where the commander bought the artillery, and look at the frequency of this cannon, it only takes a few breaths to reload the ammunition, and even each artillery has fired at least fifty shells, and it is still ignition, without exploding, such a sharp weapon, it is simply appalling, but I don't know where the Western Ocean made it, if it can be used by the imperial court, why am I afraid of the Tartars." ”

Later, his eyes couldn't help but flicker.

Shi Jian also nodded and said, "Yes, such a sharp weapon, but I don't know where the West made it." ”

The two looked at each other, and both tacitly withdrew their gazes.

What they saw and heard today really shocked them, and they were already very surprised by Li Chuan and the Zheng family's death, but they didn't expect that the Western artillery that Li Chuan got was so sharp, and it knocked the Zheng family's sailors to the ground.

The artillery surnamed Li is so sharp, only twenty artillery pieces can beat the Zheng family's naval army to the ground, what if he crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, does he have room to resist?

Everyone frowned and thought, and they couldn't help but think about the worst.

After all, in the case of unequal strength, it is difficult to protect the interests of the weaker side.

on the casemate.

"Hit me hard!"

Li Chuan waved his arms and yelled, he was really excited.

The Zheng family actually retreated, which made him relieved at the same time, his confidence was also bursting in an instant, he was ready to withdraw once he couldn't stop it, but now the Zheng family actually took the initiative to retreat, so naturally there was no need to run away.

Even the Zheng family can fight and escape, who else can endure it in the future?

You must know that this time it was not a small group of people, the Zheng family dispatched at least thousands of people, far from being comparable to the previous two times, but he was still beaten by himself and fled, how could he not build up strong confidence.

The blood of the family members is also boiling, nothing can stimulate them more than a hearty victory, less than a hundred people, actually defeated the Zheng family's water army, although it is completely the credit of artillery, but it still makes the family members doubly their spirits.

The fear and anxiety completely dissipated, and all the family members in charge of shooting began to perform at a higher level.

Boxes of shells were brought up and fired out with a roar.

It took a full column of incense for the Zheng family's fleet to turn around, and during this time, thirteen more shells hit the Zheng family's warship, eight of which had been hit before, and five of which were the first hits.

The courage was completely destroyed, and Zheng Zhibao was also completely frightened, and he just wanted to escape from the range of the artillery as soon as possible.

The three Daifuku boats are too conspicuous and are the key targets of the family.

Zheng Jiabao had already changed to a small warship, his face was wrapped in white, and his eyes were full of fire as he looked at the shadowy figures on the fort a few miles away, his heart was full of unwillingness, and the fierceness of the artillery surnamed Li really made him frightened.

"Such a powerful artillery, you must find a way to get it."

Zheng Zhibao was ruthless in his heart, and the first thing he thought about was not revenge today, but how to get the artillery in Li Chuan's hands. As long as they can get the kind of Western artillery in Li Chuan's hands, the Zheng family's force will inevitably go to a higher level.

As the speaker of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhibao knows better than anyone that the wealth of the Zheng family comes from the powerful maritime force.

Without the backing of force, no matter how rich and noble it is, it will be shattered at the touch of a button.

Miles away, above the mountain pack.

"Let's go, the Zheng family is defeated."

Seeing the Zheng family's naval army retreat in a hurry, all the officials of Jin Shanwei had their own thoughts.

Shi Jian retracted his gaze, greeted, and got off the mountain bag first.

The rest of the officials did not dare to delay any longer, and went down the mountain from the other side of the mountain and hurried back to the city.
