The wind grew stronger, and all the sails of the entire merchant ship were wide open and blown round.

The whole ship seemed to be dragged by a large hand, and it sped forward.

The disparity between the forces of the enemy and the enemy is too great, and the enemy is all warships, and the merchant ships have no power to resist at all, so they can only find a way to escape.

As soon as he saw that the ship was full sailed, the Zheng family's fleet following behind was not in a hurry, and the formation began to change, and in a moment, a large ship with three sails was used as an arrow, and dozens of other ships, large and small, spread out on both wings, like a huge triangle rushing forward.

The green water was instantly split in two by this huge contract, and the waves kept rolling on both sides of the boat.

They also brought up the speed.

On the surface of the sea, the sailors of both sides were shouting loudly, and the ocean instantly boiled.

After all, a merchant ship is a merchant ship, and although the sailors along the way constantly throw the cargo in the cabin into the water, it is still not as good as the warship. It was only half an hour, and the distance was shortened to four miles, and he could already clearly see the Zheng family soldiers on the flagship of the leader.

At the front of the enemy's flagship, there was a young man dressed in shark skin who was holding a monocular in his hand.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, we have been fighting with the Zheng family for two years, and everyone has the blood of their opponents stuck to their hands. Is it better to fall into their hands? I don't want to be thrown into the sea to feed Wang Ba, so I fucking take out the strength to breastfeed! Luo Quanyou cursed loudly at his sailors

"Brother Luo, there's no way, the Zheng family's thieves' sails are bigger than ours, and they go fast, so if they go on like this, they won't be able to run away at all

。 Someone shouted: "It's better to go back and simply fight with them!" ”

The cruelty of naval warfare lies in the fact that on the sea, one ship is always faster than the other. If you can't beat them, and the speed is slow, it's impossible to retreat. The sea is vast, and there is nowhere to escape if you want to. As long as the other party's boat is faster than you, as long as you have the patience to bite you and stick to you, and shorten the distance little by little, there will always be a time to catch up with you.

Therefore, any naval battle will end in the victory of one side and the annihilation of the other side, which is the so-called winner-take-all. (.marshmallow)

"Fight hard, fight your fuck!" Luo Quanyou was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he was full of foul language: "There are only about 20 people on our ship, and there are 40 warships, based on 50 people in each boat, at least 2,000 people, it doesn't matter if we fight it all, if Mr. Yu is captured by the Zheng family, even if he dies, he will not be at ease." Hurry up, keep running, they should be in this generation. ”

"Brother Luo, Boss Fang, they don't have any ghosts, who knows if they are not there. Even if they are really here, it will be too late, at most a pot of tea, we will be bitten by the enemy! A sailor shouted.

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a huge "boom", then a second sound, and then a third sound...... Fifth tone.

The loud sound of breaking through the air alarmed everyone on board, and everyone looked up at the same time.

But I saw that there were five long pillars of smoke rising from the Zheng family's fleet in the distance, drawing a long parabola in the air, roaring and running.

"Fire Dragon, enemy fire dragon!" The sailors on the ship shouted at the same time.

At this time, the shipowner Yu Xiang ran out of the cabin and shouted: "What a mess, prepare to extinguish the fire...... So far away, you can't shoot. ”

The wind was so strong, the waves were rough, and the boats on both sides were bouncing up and down, and they were moving at high speed. At such a distance, in each other's eyes, the other party is just a small black dot.

Therefore, this so-called fire dragon, if you want to shoot a merchant ship, you can only rely on luck.

Sure enough, only a few thumps were heard, and the five fire dragons landed a mile away from the front and back of the merchant ship, and they were instantly extinguished in the sea, without even a decent splash.

Leng Ying could see that this so-called fire dragon was actually nothing more than a large piece of wood carved with a dragon head, with a huge triangular spear tip at the top, and a burning medicine bag tied to it

。 To put it bluntly, it's a giant bed crossbow.

If such a crossbow bolt hits a ship, it can indeed ignite a fire on a merchant ship in an instant. The problem is that this weapon is to be used when the two ships are in close proximity, and it is not easy to use as a long-range attack weapon.

"Hehe, I'm not powerful, when I'm a sick cat!" Luo Quanyou roared, rushed to the small cannon, lifted the torch and lit the fire door.

"Boom!" With a bang, the small cannon let out a huge boom, and it clearly took a step back, shooting a swarthy projectile out.

And then a splash next to the enemy's flagship.

"The power of this cannon is so great!" Leng Ying, who was standing on the side of the ship, was shrouded in the smoke that spread instantly, and his ears were full of buzzing sounds, and the huge sound startled the mandarin duck short knife in his hand almost fell on the deck.

"Hey, it didn't hit!" Everyone on board screamed in disappointment.

However, several sailors who operated the guns picked up their tools with expressionless faces, methodically cooled the chambers, cleaned the barrels of gunpowder residues, reloaded the propellants, and loaded the projectiles.

Only a moment later, a second shell was fired.

I don't know if this cannon was intentional, or if it was too lucky, it hit the side of the Zheng family's flagship directly.

Even after a few miles, you can still clearly hear the sound of buckshot smashing through the side of the ship, and the sound of sawdust flying.

There was a sailor of the Zheng family who was stabbed into a hedgehog by sawdust because he was close to the bullet point, and fell into the sea with a scream, and disappeared in an instant.

"Good!" "Hooray!"

Everyone on the merchant ship applauded loudly, and Luo Quanyou was so excited that the skin on his body turned red, and shouted loudly: "Fight like this, fight like this, and have another shot." The rabbit cubs of the Zheng family are also called so good at knowing grandpa today! ”

This cannon Leng Ying was not frightened because he had prepared for it.

He looked through the smoke of gunpowder, but saw that the Zheng family general standing at the bow of the ship shook his body, as if he was very surprised, and even the hat on his head fell into the sea

。

Since the merchant ships had already fired, the Zheng family's fleet also fired at the same time, only to see a sudden flash of fire in front of them, and then the sound of explosions in the sky.

Looking up, the air was full of projectiles, and the sharp sound of breaking the air caused goosebumps to suddenly rise on people's bodies.

Then, everywhere there were columns of water splashed by shells falling into the sea.

The water column rose into the air and fell onto the deck like a torrential rain, crackling.

Leng Ying's face was full of seawater.

……

That's right, the general standing on the top of the Zheng family's flagship was obviously startled by the enemy's shells on the opposite side, and subconsciously shrank back, and the hat on his head also fell into the sea. Revealing a shaved scalp. This hair is also strangely shaved, only shaved the top of the heart, and pulled a bun at the back of the head, and suddenly it is the dress of the widow.

Several guards behind him who were wearing shark skin and leaning on the water were shocked, and at the same time rushed up to protect him, shouting in unison: "Second son, does it matter?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The man dressed as a samurai was in his early twenties, and his face was a little pale. He pushed the guards away: "It doesn't matter, I didn't expect the artillery on the opposite side to have such a long range." Look at their cannon is not big, heh, it's kind of interesting. Catch up and don't let the enemy run. ”

"Second son, the thief's cannon is very sharp, so if you rely on it like this, you must be on guard against losses. According to Xiao's opinion, simply let all the warships line up, only need a round of cannon fire, and tell them all to go to see the Dragon King. ”

The man named Er Gongzi shook his head: "No, according to the report, there is a big man on this boat, and Daddy wants to live." ”

"Big man, what kind of big man, is it difficult to be a general or governor?"

"No, I heard that this person on the ship is Mrs. Sun's henchman, named Yu Xiang. Now I have the experience of doing six products in Yangzhou Town. ”

"Also, I'm a terrible character, it turns out to be just a small experience." The general sneered: "There are more military attaches in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the sixth grade, even if it is a general of the third grade and the fourth grade, we don't know how many we have killed." ”

The person called the second son is Zheng Zhilong's second son Tagawa Jiro, also known as Tagawa Jiro Saemon, the reason why the surname is Tagawa is because his father Zheng Zhilong passed this son to his wife Tagawa's maiden family

。 Today, he is the Zheng family's chief representative in Japan's trade.

Because he has been engaged in maritime trade for many years and controls all the power of the Zheng family in Japan, although Tagawa Jiro is not very old, his personality is extremely resolute and long-term.

He smiled faintly: "Indeed, a small positive six-grade experience is nothing. However, you probably don't know that this Yu Xiang is the big housekeeper of Yangzhou Town, and the silver in hand will exceed one million at any time. In recent years, Yangzhou Town has created a navy, and all the money and grain revenue and expenditure have been handled by this person. Yangzhou Town has been building ships and going to sea in recent years, although it is said that we have beaten it to the ground. But it's still endlessly entangled, and it's annoying. By the way, I heard that the Yangzhou Navy has recently been interested in interfering in Japanese trade. This golden waterway is the lifeblood of our Zheng family, how can others be involved? No one knows what Sun Taichu's next deployment will be. If Yu Xiang is captured this time, won't he know in the first trial? ”

Everyone nodded: "The second son is right, it seems that he really wants to keep him alive." ”

Jiro Tagawa: "Pass the order, don't care too much about the enemy's artillery fire, what can you do with one cannon, lean on." Fence up......" He raised his right hand high, thought for a moment, but said, "No, just order the other ships to follow me." It is said that Fang Wei's fleet is in this area, and it is necessary to guard against the sudden killing of the sailors of the Ningxiang Army, so Yu Xiang will be handed over to me. ”

After speaking, he put his hand on the handle of the sword and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Yes, Second Son."

……

"Boom, boom!" The cannons on both sides were still firing.

The sea gradually became covered in a thin layer of gunsmoke, and the ships on both sides sailed at great speed.

In fact, on a sea with a strong wind, it would be a stroke of luck to shoot directly at an enemy ship.

Except for the Zheng family sailor who was stabbed into the sea by Mu Buda, he fought for a long time, but no one died on both sides.

The sky gradually darkened, and the color of the water began to deepen.

Finally, Tagawa Jiro's flagship drove to a distance of fifty meters from Yu Xiang's merchant ship, and then rushed forward very fiercely.

The broadside battle has finally begun.
