Chapter 167: The Best
Due to the reaction of the Ming army, as well as the counterattack, it was so rapid that before the ships around could shoot the rockets in their hands, they were already overwhelmed by the falling artillery fire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As soon as the fireballs like meteorites fell into a ship in the distance, a 'boom' sound was heard.
Then, sawdust flew and flames exploded.
Just one cannon directly sank a ship.
Not only that, although a few cannons did not hit the hull of the ship, but fell on the sea next to the ship, when the cannon, which carried the strength of 10,000 catties, smashed into the sea, the huge waves it set off still made the ships around it almost capsize.
Therefore, the archers on this ship, in a state of imbalance, could not shoot the arrows in their hands at all.
What's more, it was this huge wave that overturned the oil barrel on the ship's armor.
These oils were originally used to pour arrows for arrows, so that every arrow fired could ignite the ships of the Ming army.
However, when the overturned oil drums fell to the ground, the ship suddenly burst into flames, and no matter how much the people on board tried to save them, they could not extinguish the wood that had been ignited by the oil.
The sound of "boom", "boom" and "boom" artillery is still ringing non-stop, and it is still shaking people's hearts.
In fact, the number of ships surrounding the Ming army is too large, but the number of Hongwu cannons on the Ming army's ships is limited after all. Therefore, if these people can react and release the rocket in time, then maybe, there will be a chance of victory.
But they, who had never seen such a powerful firearm before, had lost in their hearts when they first saw this cannon fire mercilessly sinking or burning ships.
Even if they were able to draw their bows, they would not necessarily see the arrows in their hands hitting the ships in front of them.
.....
At this time, Shi Wuwei suddenly discovered a strange scene from the chaotic army in the distance,
For when the second horn sounded earlier, he had already seen that among the ships that surrounded them in the distance, a small number of them had lowered their black flags and hoisted white flags.
And these white-painted ships not only did not receive the slightest artillery attack, but also fired the rockets in their hands towards the black-flagged ships around them.
In fact, there are about 260 ships flying black flags. There are only about 40 ships flying the white flag.
However, the tenacious forty ships, under the cover of the hard Ming artillery fire, dealt a heavy blow to the rest of the ships.
…….
On the blue sea, there were bursts of irregular ripples.
Bursts of fire lit all around, and the originally pure sea water was already dyed red.
At this moment, on the outermost warship of the Ming army, the wooden giant hull was already filled with rockets.
But even as the fire on the ship began to overflow, the rows of archers' doors in the attic were still firing arrows at the ships in the distance.
In fact, most of the ships of the Ming army, although there were some burning arrows hanging on them, but because the ships were so large, even if a place was really on fire, it would not necessarily affect the pond fish.
And right now, just when the battle on the sea was already heating up, Shi Wuwei saw one of our warships, and suddenly turned the bow in front of everyone, facing the port on the opposite shore.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud "boom", it was smashed into the harbor and the crowd on the grassland with the blazing artillery.
Suddenly, bursts of heart-rending cries came from the distant position.
This artillery fire fell from the sky, like a meat mill, and ran over everyone below.
Looking at the raging fire on the sea in the distance, and seeing the brothers below wailing in pain, Chen Zuyi, who was over half a hundred years old, finally realized his mistake.
He misjudged the strength of the Ming army and mistakenly thought that the Ming army was nothing more than a division of the river pond.
He greatly underestimated the conspiracy of the Ming army, because the other party had already seen that he had surrendered by fraud, but he had paralyzed him for a month.
He was even wondering now if the countless treasure chests piled up on the deck described by the spies when they came to report were the illusion deliberately created by Zheng He, the purpose of which was to drive them crazy....
In fact, the mistakes he made were more than that.
Killing and plundering sea crews and harassing coastal countries was the beginning of his mistake.
In the name of surrender, he actually wanted to take the treasures of the Ming army for himself, which was all caused by his greed.
He was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, but after committing crimes in the rivers and lakes, he wandered overseas and started to kill people and oversell goods.
In the past twenty years, he and the group of people he gathered have indeed never lost a battle.
However, the battles he fought were almost always one-sided battles, and the opponents surrendered before they could put up resistance.
Therefore, as a person in the rivers and lakes, he does not know the art of war, and he has been carried away by victory for a long time, naively thinking that this time, he will easily get the victory in the past and easily defeat the eunuch.
It is precisely because of this that he made today's big mistake.
Zheng He, who is it.
Although he was a eunuch, he had been in the army since he was eleven years old and had countless combat experience. At the beginning, when His Majesty was still the King of Yan, Zheng He participated in a large number of battles under his command. Moreover, most of these battles were major battles in which he commanded hundreds of thousands of people, and he even fought against the best generals of that era. And even those people can't help him, not to mention this arrogant pirate who claims to be the Emperor of the Sea.
In fact, in the final analysis, he Chen Zuyi was just forced to flee because he couldn't get along in the Central Plains.
But what about Zheng He, he himself is one of the best in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, this so-called battle was declared to be over as early as the beginning.
………………
At this moment, looking at the ship that had become a sea of fire, Chen Zuyi's heart did not feel hopeless.
He knew very well that these ships in the distance did not belong to him in the first place.
Therefore, these ships are burned, and what does it have to do with him?
As long as he still has people in his hands, as long as there are ships in the harbor far away, when he returns in the future, he will still be the emperor of the sea who has made everyone in this sea fearful.
Therefore, seeing the ship burned in the distance, instead of being lost, a trace of excitement rose in his heart.
Because after this battle, there is no one in this sea who can stop him from progressing.
These pirates, who were already evenly matched with him, were about to be wiped out by the Ming army at this moment.
And this means that his future territory will extend to every corner of the sea.
Thinking of this, I saw that countless golden lights were emerging from his eyes.
Then, I saw him wave his hand and roar.
"Retreat!".
Under the general trend, retreat is their only way out.
However, just as the remaining 10,000 people rushed desperately towards the forest at the end of the grassland in the rear.
Suddenly, however, they felt a vibration coming from under their feet.
Then, when the vibration became stronger and stronger, when they raised their heads and looked forward, what appeared in front of them were one black horse after another, and one figure after another on the black horse.
And when Shi Wuwei on the boat saw that there were such dark horses at the end of the grassland, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed in his mind, and his mouth was even more incredulous.
"It's... This is....Duo Yanwei? ”。
