Chapter 286: The Battle of Liaoluo Bay
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The war drums beat, the Ming warship under the command of Zheng Zhilong's flagship quickly and orderly to both sides, like a phoenix spread its huge wings, at any time to dive to attack its target, at this time Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the ship to look at the Dutch fleet, smiled, and said to the vice general beside him: "This is a big battle on land, the two armies are fighting, and the brave generals can take the head of the enemy general in the thousands of troops and horses, and today we are on this vast sea, among the thousands of warships, take the head of the enemy general!" After speaking, he pulled out the saber at his waist and swung it forward. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Big brother is mighty!" The generals on one side shouted.
Seeing Zheng Zhilong's actions, the flag-bearer above immediately issued an order, the flag waved, and the wings of the phoenix began to wave, only to see the two wings of the Ming army pull up the sails, and with the help of the east wind, they rushed to the two wings of the Dutch fleet like an arrow from the string, where were Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu's main fleet, the Ming army's actions made Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu also surprised, is this looking for death? Moths to the fire? Grasshoppers shake trees? Or is this Zheng Zhilong looking down on us?
"Humph! Look for death! Fire! Liu Xiang's deputy saw this scene and snorted coldly, and was about to give the order to fire.
"Who told you to fire?" Liu Xiang's cold voice came from behind him.
"Boss! That old ghost Zheng obviously looked down on us, and even used an auxiliary boat to stop us! The deputy said indignantly.
"Don't lower our figures, look at Li Guozhu's side! Learn something for Lao Tzu! Liu Xiang said and slapped the deputy on the head.
The deputy was beaten to a stumbling side, and after standing firm, he looked at the fleet of their ally Li Guozhu, only to see that nearly fifty warships of Li Guozhu's fleet were rushing towards the fleet of the Ming army in the wind and waves.
"Sink them directly?" The deputy was stunned.
"Humph! Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife? Directly smash them, Lao Tzu wants to slap Zheng Zhilong hard, hurry up! When the time comes, he will be outflanked from both wings with Li Guozhu's fleet, so as to form an encirclement, and today Luowan will be the burial place of Zheng Zhilong and the Ming army! Liu Xiang said fiercely.
"Yes!" Under the command of the flagship, Liu Xiang's fleet also began to move at full speed, with a momentum of killing gods and killing Buddhas, and rushing straight towards the fleet of the Ming army, with the war drums and the neat shouts of the pirates, for a while, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu's soldiers were like a rainbow, and the warships were like a sharp sword shuttling quickly, splitting the water and cutting the waves, and a fierce collision was about to unfold.
"Haha! It's good to come! Zheng Zhilong laughed, "I thought that I would lose a lot of auxiliary ships in vain, but now it seems that they can crash into them without landing!" Then he said: "Since they are shouting so vigorously, I naturally can't lose my prestige and let the brothers shout!" ”
For a time, the wind and clouds on Liuluo Bay changed color, the waves washed the sand, the sound of gongs and drums, the shouts of killing, and the sound of warships riding the wind and waves echoed in the sky, and the morale of both sides was constantly soaring, and a bloody battle was inevitable.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Zheng Zhilong's fleet rushed towards the Dutch fleet without hesitation under the protection of the two wings of auxiliary ships, after both fleets entered the range of artillery, both sides did not hesitate to order the cannons, for a while, the shells poured down like raindrops, some hit the warships on both sides, making a loud noise, followed by fire, debris flying, accompanied by the screams of soldiers on both sides, the blood mist was filled, and some fell into the sea, splashing up a column of water, like a dragon out of the sea, churning up, shaking up bursts of waves.
Zheng Zhilong observed the distance between the two sides at any time, "Cover the auxiliary ships in front and order them to light the fire in a quarter of an hour!" Zheng Zhilong calmly ordered. With the order issued, Zheng Zhilong's fifty main battleships opened fire with all their might, covering the auxiliary ships in front of them to rush towards the Dutch battleships.
Putmans looked at the situation on the battlefield, the curiosity in his heart was more and more suspended, and the ominous premonition became more and more intense, as the distance continued to close, Putmans finally saw those auxiliary ships clearly through the telescope, only to see that there were no attack weapons on the auxiliary ships, only a tightly covered thing by an oilcloth, bulging, thinking that there were a lot of stuffed things inside, although Putmans had experienced a hundred battles, but still had never seen such a ship, what were they going to do? Putmans couldn't figure it out, but the ominous premonition in his heart made him make the final decision: "All the artillery is aimed at those auxiliary ships to attack!" Don't worry about Zheng Zhilong's battleship for now! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers received the order, and suddenly, all the guns of the Dutch battleship adjusted their range and angle, and roared angrily at the Ming auxiliary ships that were quickly used.
"Oh?! Was it discovered? Zheng Zhilong wondered, and then shook his head, even if it was discovered, what if it was discovered? Now the time has come, I saw that at the same time, all the auxiliary ships of the Ming army on the sea have burst out of the fire, the flames have grown from small to large, and gradually become the trend of burning the plains, at this time the Ming fleet is like the fire phoenix, the two wings are a fan, and suddenly the fire is full of fire, and the raging flames want to burn through the photo sky.
"What kind of tactic is this?!" Zheng Zhilong's tactics stunned Putmans.
Unlike Putmans, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu on both wings began to scold, no matter how ugly the words burst out of the mouths of these two pirate leaders, believing that if Zheng Zhilong stood in front of them at this time, he would definitely be drowned by their spit.
"Quick! Remove! Bombard those fireships as we retreat, and we must not let them come near us! Fast! Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu ordered their respective fleets at the same time, and then Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu's fleets began to turn their sails, turn their bows, and begin to leave backwards.
"Want to leave now? It's hard! Zheng Zhilong sneered when he saw the reaction of their fleet.
With the spread of the fire, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and gradually there were already a lot of Ming army ships like octopus have been tightly attached to the enemy's battleship, and then the fire began to jump towards the top of the battleship like a jumping elf, and soon, a mighty battleship was engulfed in raging fire, and the soldiers on the ship abandoned the ship and fled, jumping into the sea one by one like dumplings, but what they didn't know was that under the sea, there were killers waiting for them.
In the midst of Putmans' glaring gaze, the Ming army's fireships had already reached every battleship of the Dutch fleet with their hooks, and in the midst of the screams of all the Dutch soldiers, the raging flames were like netherworld fire from hell, surging mercilessly towards them.
"Quick! Fire suppression! Fast! Putmans yelled.
At this time, the Dutch fleet gradually began to panic, many warships began to crash around like headless flies, many warships collided with each other in the panic, the huge impact and the spread of the fire made the warships tilt rapidly, and then gradually were ruthlessly engulfed by the sea, coupled with the intensive attack of Zheng Zhilong's fleet artillery, the demise of the Dutch fleet was only a matter of time.
"It's over! Finished! It's all over! Putmans looked around, at this time the coalition forces hesitated a giant bird with its wings cut off, looking so isolated and helpless, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu's fleet had already been defeated by fireships, many warships had given up resistance and surrendered to the Ming army, and the situation of the Dutch fleet was not much better, one by one the battleships were slowly silent in Putmans's reluctant gaze, even the Fort Middle, where he was located, had gradually been engulfed in flames, I believe that as long as the shells of Zheng Zhilong's fleet hit this Fort Middle, Sinking is only a matter of moments.
"Raise the white flag and surrender!" Putmans ordered weakly。。。。。。
