Chapter 350: Zheng Zhihu's defeat has appeared

A ship in Zheng San's fleet, located at 90 degrees to the southeast, was again attacked by Zheng He's several guns and began to stagnate, and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The other Zheng San's warships also immediately turned around, and even rushed towards the upwind of Zheng He, with an awe-inspiring momentum of killing themselves and dying together.

But Gu Sanmazi's Zheng He didn't eat this set, you want to fight, I don't fight, and suddenly it was like a gust of wind and quickly passed through the hollow position of Zheng San's fleet, but continued to chase Zheng San's team's butt beating!

This kind of naval battle made Zheng San very aggrieved, he wanted to fight hard, people didn't fight hard with you, you wanted to ignore him, but he could immediately appear in front of you and bombard you.

With a bang, the mast of Zheng San's flagship, the Super Fortune Ship with a displacement of nearly eighty tons, broke in response, and the flames spread directly down the other mast to the deck.

At the same time, countless wails also sounded from other pirate warships, and Zheng San's fleet did not succeed in hitting Zheng He, but almost wiped out the army!

Here, Zheng Zhihu was also really angry, he didn't want to watch his domestic slave and his brother die in the sea, and he no longer wanted to wipe out Heiwazi's fleet, and even the cargo ship in Qin Botong's seat didn't have the heart to plunder anymore, but gathered all the fleets under his command to press directly towards Zheng He.

"Gu Yanshi, the pirates seem to be in a hurry, and they are all pressing towards us, this formation is not small", Zheng He commanded the servant to Gu San Mazi and said.

Gu San Mazi laughed out loud: "It's okay to come all over, all come here, Lao Tzu just cleaned up one by one, and now everyone has played a few games, what is this called the control of the steam engine is almost familiar, let the big guy play the spirit, let's have another Changshan Zhao Zilong seven in and seven out!" ”

Saying that, Gu San Mazi not only did not let Zheng He retreat, but also rushed forward directly, the speed was very fast, almost stopped within the range difference between Zheng He and the pirate warship, and then directly attacked its flank with a round of shelling.

With a snap, a relatively small pirate ship fell directly to the side, and Zheng Zhihu immediately changed direction and ordered the fast boat to chase Zheng He first, the purpose was to entangle Zheng He first, and any other big ship would enter the upper hand and sink Zheng He in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zheng He was not fooled by this, and after sinking a pirate ship, he immediately turned around and quickly retreated in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhihu was busy with his small warship and immediately used its light and fast characteristics to catch up, but the speed of the steam-powered ship was too fast, and with the addition of more and more coal, the temperature of the boiler was getting higher and higher, and the steam power was getting more and more sufficient, and the speed was even faster.

Therefore, after less than a few quarters of an hour's distance, even the small boats could not catch up with Zheng He, on the contrary, Zheng He was still able to come back and shell these small boats.

In less than half an hour, these small boats that had been ordered by Zheng Zhihu to advance were sunk by Zheng He one by one, except for three or four ships that fled back in a hurry, when Zheng Zhilong's main fleet caught up, most of the small boats had been sunk by Zheng He.

Bang!

Zheng Zhihu smashed his fist on the mast, and the palm that had been injured by shnel-wound and stopped bleeding a little suddenly became bloody, and his milk brother Zheng San was now leaning on a log and swimming towards him, and his flagship finally had to sit back and watch him die at the bottom of the sea because he was shot too much and couldn't suppress the fire.

But Zheng Zhihu didn't understand how this ironclad ship could float on the sea, and the speed was so fast, even when he was not tired, more importantly, the artillery was also more powerful than his own Western artillery, and it was not an iron bullet, it could also explode, causing secondary damage.

It's simply unbeatable!

Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but think like this, but at this time, Zheng He rushed from the flank again, Zheng Zhihu immediately asked the one-eyed dragon's fleet to block, but it was not blocked, Gu San Mazi is now commanding Zheng He with ease, just like a water snake that has been moving between Zheng He's fleet, dancing gracefully among the brilliant fireworks.

Of course, this is only from an artistic point of view, for Zheng Zhihu, this is simply a super monster, swallowing his ships one by one, and Zheng Zhihu has to be tired of coping.

This is the gap between the two eras, although Zheng He has many deficiencies in the speed and operating system of steam power, and even has jams, which requires temporary replenishment of power by shipwrights and temporary maintenance by skilled workers, but after all, he has surpassed these two eras of dhows, so he seems to be so brave and unstoppable.

As night gradually fell, the vision on the sea began to become unclear, and people in this era generally had poor night vision due to vitamin deficiencies, and even Zheng's pirates were afraid of the night.

The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are not afraid of this, first, they have a physical examination before recruitment, and second, they not only eat a lot of food in the army, but also pay attention to nutritional matching, and in order to prevent night blindness, Zhu Youxiao also specially made the food of the Praetorian Guards mainly carrots and pork liver, just to provide a large amount of vitamins, and even ordered the necessary dry food for field marching to bring dried carrots in addition to compressed dry food.

Therefore, now for the Praetorian Guard, the advantage is even greater, but the usefulness of the telescope is limited.

Fortunately, the Janissaries still have white phosphorus bombs.

Seeing several white flames floating at the end of the front, Qin Botong understood that this was a signal that his side had an absolute advantage, in order to prevent this Zheng Zhihu from retreating, Qin Botong immediately ordered the rest of the remaining fleet to immediately pursue and give Zheng Zhihu another heavy blow at this moment.

Zheng He also rammed in directly, and saw Zheng Zhihu's fleet directly bombarded, and several large warships of pirates that could have been spared were sunk again.

Zheng Zhihu began to feel frightened, not only him, but other pirates also began to take the initiative to retreat, everyone could see that in this naval battle, there was no play on his side, and if he continued to fight, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The one-eyed dragon is tailed, and the rest of the ships immediately retreat in the direction of the chicken coop!"

Soon after Zheng Zhihu said, Zheng Zhihu's fleet immediately retreated, these pirates were experienced, and the retreat was also rapid and orderly.

But at this time, Qin Botong's fleet had already surrounded it, and as soon as it came up, there was a fierce bombardment, and the Zheng pirates who had no intention of fighting really suffered a lot of bullets under the heart of avoiding war.

Zheng Zhihu didn't care, his flagship was the only brig soft sailing ship, and it was not slow, and when his own people were entangled in the main force of the First Fleet in the North Sea, his own flagship had already sailed several miles away.

"Gu Yishi, Zheng Zhihu's flagship is going to run!"

I don't know who shouted like this, which provoked Gu San Mazi to scold: "Then what are you waiting for, just catch up!" ”

But at this time, the commander-in-charge of the baggage came running: "But, Gu Yanshi, our shells are almost finished, and you have been shouting to fight before, so we didn't think about saving." ”

"Get out! A group of dog calves, at a glance, have never suffered hardships and hunger, do not know how to save, I let you fight, you will honestly fight hard, learn from those daughters-in-law who can run the house, how to save money to live! ”

Gu San Mazi scolded a few words a little depressedly, and then asked, "How much coal is left, and can the boiler still support it?" ”

"It can still be supported, now is the time when the power is sufficient, and it is no problem to run for another two hours, but it must be stopped after two hours, otherwise the boiler temperature is too high, and the cooling water is insufficient, and some parts will be burned at that time", the commander replied.

"That's good", Gu San Mazi nodded, with a determined look in his eyes, and ordered: "Pass my order, at all costs, rush up directly, be sure to hit Zheng Zhihu's flagship, remember to hit its flanks vertically!" ”

"Gu Yanshi, this is not good, Zheng He is His Majesty's treasure, His Majesty said that he can be worth 100,000 troops, although he is wrapped in iron sheets, he can also reduce the impact of iron bullets, so to directly hit a large warship, what if it hits the dumb fire, then we can't afford to bear it!"

The conductor hurriedly persuaded him.

"No matter how good the girl is, she has to go out to pick up guests, since it is a baby, she has to take it out and use it, didn't the old man surnamed Mao say that this thing has done a collision test, today Lao Tzu will give him another test, even if it is damaged, he has to thank me, Your Majesty, I will go to ask for guilt, the ship is gone, it can be rebuilt, but it would be a pity to let this Zheng Zhihu run away, you don't know how powerful the pirate leader this guy is, if you don't catch him, what will the court use to threaten Zheng Zhilong and carry out the order!"

Gu San Mazi commanded with a serious expression.

In his opinion, Zheng Zhihu is a member of the Zheng pirate group, and if Zheng Zhihu is not killed and captured at this time, then it will definitely cause huge trouble to the imperial court in the future.

And now, taking advantage of Zheng Zhihu's underestimation of the enemy at the beginning and his lack of preparation, so that the current situation of fleeing in a hurry appeared, he should chase and fight fiercely, and not tolerate the traitor.

As soon as Gu San Mazi's order was delivered, Zheng He drove at full speed and directly pursued Zheng Zhihu's flagship who was trying to flee the battlefield with gunsmoke and war flames.

The rumbling black smoke stretched across the sky like a black dragon, drawing an arc figure, and a wave ditch cut by Zheng He on the same sea surface corresponded to it.

As soon as the Zheng pirates' ships saw the ironclad monster Zheng He rampage in again, they all began to avoid it automatically, lest they be pressed and beaten by it again.

But they found that this Zheng He did not attack, but directly chased in a certain direction, and after a closer look, it was the flagship that had been chasing his second master.

The loyal pirates began to change the direction of the ship and chased after them, and took the initiative to attack Zheng He.

And Zheng Zhihu's side also found out that Zheng He had been chasing him, and in a hurry, Zheng Zhihu immediately ordered his subordinates to issue flags and order the rear departments to block Zheng He.

These pirates also worked hard, countless iron bullets overturned directly towards Zheng He, and smashed directly on the flank board of Zheng He, smashed the iron sheet directly deformed, and hit the chimney, the fire bricks fell to the ground, and even Gu San Mazi fell to the ground because of the violent shaking, but he still shouted: "Chase, chase Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will cut the surname Zheng with a thousand knives!" ”

As he spoke, Gu San Mazi spit out a mouthful of ashes.

Bang dang!

Another metal impact sounded, and the wall of Zheng He's ship was hit again, and Gu San Mazi also fell to the ground again, and his head directly hit a big bag.

The commander of Zheng He on the side couldn't help but help him up: "Gu Yishi, you better go into the command room, this artillery is full of fire, if it hits you, how can it be good." ”

"What are you afraid of, what can you see through the small window when you hide in the command room, this is not digging the wall and watching the widow take a bath, I am not satisfied with you, Lao Tzu has been on the sea for decades, and he has not been bombed, these shells are sparing Lao Tzu, because Lao Tzu is a fierce god and evil!"

As soon as Gu San Mazi said to play, an iron bullet flew directly towards his head.

Seeing this, the commander hurriedly threw him to the ground, and the iron bullet happened to not hit Gu Sanmazi's head, but smashed into Gu Sanmazi's calf.

"Grandma's, it hurts me to death!" Gu San Mazi couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, and scolded again: "It was launched by the turtle son, see if Lao Tzu can't clean him up!" ”

At this time, Gu San Mazi found that there was a pirate warship that collided directly with his Zheng He, trying to prevent himself from pursuing Zheng Zhihu's flagship in a way that ended up together.

Seeing this, Gu San Mazi couldn't help shouting: "Thirty degrees to the northwest, a sharp turn, a few broken ships also want to kiss Lao Tzu's mouth, really Lao Tzu was sold by Yihong Courtyard, don't you refuse, only your second master's boat, Lao Tzu is interested in bumping into it." ”

Gu San Mazi commanded the Zheng He to stab back and forth, avoiding the impact of all the pirate ships along the way.

About half an hour later, he chased Zheng Zhihu's flagship to another rather calm sea level.

Looking at the Zheng He, who was chasing after him, Zheng Zhihu's flagship had no other way, and even he didn't know where to escape, anyway, he ran as much as he could.

But running and running, the speed of his flagship still slowed down, and he had to seize the upper hand first to prepare for a preemptive strike for the chasing Zheng He, and fight to the end!

But to Zheng Zhihu's great surprise, when Zheng He approached his flagship, Zheng He suddenly turned around and slammed directly into the side of the ship towards his bow, which was very fast, like a big mountain covering it.

"Turn around and retreat!"

Before Zheng Zhihu could finish shouting, a huge collision and vibration sound sounded, and the front section of his flagship was directly shattered, and at the same time, the ship also capsized in the opposite direction like a prancing horse.

A violent shock caused Zheng Zhihu himself to fall to the ground, and countless pirates fell directly into the sea.

At this time, Zheng He's came out and shook violently, causing a lot of things to fall to the ground, but nothing happened, and he directly turned around and crashed into Zheng Zhihu's flank.

With a bang, the huge waves that collided directly hit Zheng Zhihu's flagship, and at the same time, the naval soldiers of Zheng He also immediately released a small boat to grab Zheng Zhihu's flagship, and many naval soldiers on Zheng He also ran to the deck and raised their muskets, forming a fire suppression on the pirates on Zheng Zhihu's flagship.
