The flagship of the Zhang family's fleet is a 10,000-stone cargo ship, and several leaders of the Zhang family and the leader of Zhuang Ding's guards on board are looking at the battlefield from the bow of the ship.

By catching the pirate's mouth, the Zhang family already knew the battle situation just now, and the routine of the warship of his friend Weiyuan Dart Bureau, but the Zhang family was not worried about this, because in addition to the original thirty five-thousand-stone ships, the Zhang family also prepared twenty loach boats.

These boats were fast enough to keep up with the speed of the Weiyuan ship, as they had a set of oars in addition to their slender hull and larger sails, so their short sprint speed was quite impressive.

This is also the information that the Zhang family obtained from other pirates along the way, but this piece of information was not shared by the Zhang family with the pirates, it was completely a plan to wait to be a fisherman, if the information was shared, maybe the pirates would also prepare a special centipede ship, and this battle would not have been achieved.

A quarter of an hour later, the fleets of both sides finally appeared in each other's sight, Gan Xingtai immediately asked the fleet to start retreating, Zhang Jia saw that Weiyuan's ship was trying to distance himself from it, and immediately waved the flag, and twenty loach boats lowered their oars and pulled their sails to begin to pursue Weiyuan's fleet.

Looking at the loach boat with the Zhang family's fleet suddenly releasing oars, Gan Xingtai was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and waved the command flag to ask the boat to move forward at full speed, but the distance between the two sides was indeed slowly narrowing.

Gan Xingtai calculated, from five hundred steps to the collision, the bed crossbow is probably only enough to launch four to five rounds, according to the salvo of three boats can get the opponent's one boat, I am afraid that in the end there are still five or six boats that can rush up and jump.

But thinking about Gan Xingtai relieved again, so what, won't our ship fight in the jumping gang fight? What's more, he still has a big killing weapon like a fire oil canister in his hand, as long as the ships on both sides get close and drop bombs in waves, I am afraid that the other side will be dumbfounded immediately.

After the two sides slowly approached, Gan Xingtai began to command the fleet to shoot at the catching up loach ships according to the plan, the Zhang family's fleet was also well-trained, compared to the pirates' indiscriminate fire fighting Zhang family's crew was obviously much more efficient, but although it was more professional, but in the face of the inextinguishable fierce fire oil, the Zhang family's loach ship had to withdraw from the battle once it was shot and put out the fire.

Finally, after paying the price of sixteen ships, six ships successfully approached Weiyuan's warship, and the Zhang family's crew immediately threw their grappling hooks in the hope of bringing the two ships together, but when they threw out the grappling hooks, a large black bump was thrown from the opposite ship in addition to the archers.

At this time, the Zhang family fleet in the rear was watching the play at this time, and commanding the fleet to outflank the fleet of Weiyuan in an arc, and when the Zhang family was looking at their ship and was about to jump successfully, suddenly there was a shout from behind.

A few people ran to the stern of the boat and saw that the eight boats on their side had risen plumes of smoke, and more than a dozen strange ships on the sea were attacking their own ships in groups of twos and twos.

It's just that Zhang San didn't give him much time to think about this problem, and three minutes later, another round of ballista fired oil bombs ignited the Zhang family's eight ships again, and the Zhang family suddenly realized that the enemy killed half of his main force with just two salvos.

Immediately the ships changed their voyages and prepared to deal with the new fleet, but the idea was that the beautiful reality was cruel, the fleet had just adjusted its formation, and before it could charge, eight more ships were lit into torches.

Faced with the only eight intact ships they had left, the Zhang family knew that what they had to consider now was not how to win, but how to run, and the Zhang family began to notify the ships that could still move to escape north through the flag.

It's just that the Zhang family not only can't beat the East China Sea type battleships, but they can't run away, only half an hour later, the main fleet of the Zhang family was all set on fire, and Zhang San ordered the ships to make a forced landing on these ships.

After these ships were set on fire, they were not completely incapacitated, but a large number of personnel were put into the fire extinguishing work to temporarily withdraw from the battle, as long as it was not for a few unlucky people, through a period of hard work, the fire could be extinguished.

But the battle ended too quickly, and before the ships of the Zhang family to extinguish the fire rejoined the battle, the battle had already come to an end, and then sixteen warships cruised in this sea area and began to make a forced landing on the Zhangjia ships.

If you are unwilling to surrender, you will continue to fire fire oil bombs, let the ships continue to burn, in the face of this unsolvable situation, Zhang Sanyou set fire to a few Zhang family ships, and the rest of the ships obediently surrendered.

After controlling the situation, Zhang San began to salvage the drowning, collect and surrender the prisoners, and watch the situation of the ships, the thirty big ships of the Zhang family are all cargo ships of more than 5,000 stones, as long as the damage is not too serious, Zhang San is ready to tow it to Sea Shark Island to repair it for his own use.

As for those that burned too badly, they gave up, and the same was true for the pirate ships, and after selecting the ones that were good to use, the others were thrown away, and the pirates and the people of the Zhang family were all transferred to the cargo ship and transported to Ryukyu Island.

All the ships that could be used lowered lowered their sails and tied to the cargo ship on their side and towed back to Sea Shark Island for repair, and the fleet in the distance Weiyuan solved the last few loach boats, and after seeing the Zhang San fleet approaching, he silently retreated to the side and joined the fleet, but still bypassed Jiushan Island to find the sugar ship to meet.

The fleets of the two sides cooperated tacitly, but they didn't say a word to each other, so in the eyes of these pirates, the two sides should be two forces that fear each other, but the new batch seems to be a little stronger than Weiyuan Dart, so Weiyuan Dart didn't even come to pack up the loot and ran away in a hurry.

After this battle, the Zhang family's sea fleet was also broken, Zhang San cleaned up the battlefield and packed up the spoils of war until the sky was completely dark, and then went to the Jiushan Islands, where in addition to the bay that could be avoided, there were two pirate lairs, just take this opportunity to occupy.

After the news of the safe return of the fleet of Weiyuan Dart Bureau to Hangzhou, Zhang San took his Ryukyu fleet and began to clean up the pirate nests involved, and the battle lasted for half a month.

When the Zhang family did not wait for their fleet to come back and waited for the news of the safe arrival of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, the Zhang family quickly fell silent, and the entire Zhang family began to make noise, in addition to the shipyard desperately producing new ships, but also spending a lot of money to buy other ships and recruit crews.

Of course, fifty or sixty ships are not all of the Zhang family's ships, but the fifty ships lost do have 50 percent of the Zhang family's combat strength, plus the loss of Zhangjiadao last time, the elite family of the Zhang family has gone to six or seven.

Half a month later, Zhang San led sixteen ships to attack the Zhangjia shipyard, capturing all the shipbuilders and the newly recruited sailors trained near the shipyard, and the battle lasted for two days, during which the Hangzhou government tried to send officers and sailors but was slow to move by Zhang San's marines.
