A huge lightning dragon suddenly flashed in the dark night, and the hundreds of cannons on the dozens of Ming warships moored on the shore almost simultaneously fired their own angry blows! The huge flames produced by these deadly firing shots almost lit up the entire tranquil bay in an instant!

The sound of thunder rolled like a stormy wave, echoing throughout the bay. Even the calm sea was stirred up by these huge sound waves, and the originally peaceful bay was completely boiling. The power of an artillery attack of this scale is enough to be called earth-shattering in this era!

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong has completely fallen into an unbelievable state of sluggishness. His heart was relieved with sadness, knowing that he had been given a curse. The bloody slaughter scene in front of me is a bloody hell at all.

For no reason, Zheng Zhilong suddenly remembered the fifth child who didn't appear tonight, Zheng Zhibao. The insiders who came to lead the way said that Zheng Zhibao was going to do something on the shore to prevent those sailors, officers and soldiers from rushing back to the ship after launching. And Zheng Zhilong can understand that if he thinks about it carefully at this time, he may never see this younger brother again.

"Your Excellency!" The panicked subordinates hurriedly ran over, stammering and trembling, "Those, those who led the way have jumped into the water and ran!" ”

"Huh." Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale, and his arms hung down weakly. At this moment, he began to sincerely admire those officers and soldiers. These internal agents sent over are all henchmen of the Zheng family, and there is no problem with his loyalty in the past, otherwise he would not have fallen into Gao Yang's trap so easily. What Zheng Zhilong didn't expect at all was that even they were betrayed! At this moment, Zheng Zhilong's heart began to feel scared.

The wave of more than forty ships in front of him was full of Zheng family sailors, and they were originally preparing to go forward to meet the warships of the robbers. By the moment, the ships were all under heavy artillery fire. In the midst of the sound of shelling that resounded through the sky. Torn to shreds by a stormy shelling!

The scorching cannonballs pierced the darkness of the night like meteors, kissing the ships with great momentum and deathly greetings. In the splash of sawdust, countless Zheng family sailors howled miserably. With a heart full of unwillingness and fear, it turned into a ghost. These brave sailors didn't even have a chance to fight face-to-face! At this moment, the god of war began to show his hideous face.

Just a round of shelling. The Zheng family has lost at least hundreds of people! These are not cannon fodder that can be pulled up casually. Those who can be sent to the front line to launch a strong attack are the elites of the Zheng family! This huge loss was enough to make Zheng Zhilong's heart start to bleed.

"Clearing, charging, loading, burying leads. Aim at the target and get ready to shoot! Wang Wu, who was obviously in high spirits, squatted next to the gun position, ignoring the choking smell of gunpowder, and looked at the Zheng family fleet bathed in bullets on the sea through the observation port with his eyes open. He spat heavily and looked at his watch. He yelled at the brass beside him, "All ready!" ”

Another wave of lightning dragons! The smoke filled the room, and the choking smell of gunpowder filled the entire shooting chamber in an instant. Wang Wu fanned the smoke in front of him vigorously, squinted his eyes and carefully examined the results of the shelling through the observation port.

The Zheng family's fleet on the sea was hit hard again. At this distance, in the face of such a large number of artillery attacks, where would there be any hope of survival for the second wave of Zheng family's warships, which were only dozens of ships? The ships didn't even have time to turn their guns to the naval battleships before they were hit one after another. Because it was a surprise attack, these warships were too dense, and they were too close to the Ming Navy. In the event of a massive shelling, it is too late to dodge.

Buckshot weighing several pounds could easily pierce through the wooden warships, digging through huge holes and injuring nearby sailors in large numbers. If you're unlucky. If you are shot under the surface of the ship by lead bullet, you will be unlucky.

Although the Chinese in this era had already invented the compartment of the ship through the principle of bamboo, the anti-sinking ability was far stronger than that of those Western warships. But. There are no watertight doors in this era!

These Zheng family's ships are not sturdy big ships. Once the shells have penetrated below the waterline, it will not be long before the raging waters fill the entire chamber. The massive water pressure then causes the wooden hull to crumble, which has been damaged by the shelling. The end result is a quick sinking to the bottom of the sea!

Even though these sailors are all water-based, they are attracted by the deadly whirlpool brought out when the ship sinks in this desperate battlefield where bullets rain down. How many people have managed to escape?

Not to mention the unlucky ones who were directly hit by the terrifying buckshots. Once the human body is directly hit by lead bullets, or just scratched up, the outcome is also miserable.

Needless to say, those who were hit directly did not need to be said. Not to mention these sailors in single clothes, even the hoplites with heavy armor and huge metal shields in their hands can only end up in pieces! In the end, all that was left was a puddle of flesh and blood.

As for those that were rubbed by the cannonballs, it felt like being rubbed by Brother Monkey's golden hoop stick. That's a real death. Death is coming! The kinetic energy of a physical cannonball is simply not something that humans can compete with!

And then there's the hulls of the ships that have been hit by buckshots, and the wreckage of wood chips flying everywhere is just enough to send any human who dares to stand in their way to hell. Even if some of them are lucky enough not to die. It's just a lingering breath. On the contrary, these people have suffered for nothing and the despair and fear of watching death come!

"This is war." Gao Yang walked slowly to the deck of the Blue Dragon. Looking at the cruel Shura field on the sea, I smelled the choking smell of gunpowder between my mouth and nose, and listened to the terrible howl of the dying man. sighed lightly in his heart, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice.

Zheng Sen, who was following behind Gao Yang, was as pale as snow, and his eyes fluctuated complicatedly. The whole body was trembling slightly.

In any case, he is the heir of the Zheng family after all. Many of those Zheng family members not far away were people he knew well! But at this moment, he can only watch here!

Zheng Sen watched in pain as those Zheng family's sailors were struggling on the edge of life and death, and his mood was naturally extremely sad. However, he didn't dare to show it in the slightest!

Now that is the case, the loss and sacrifice have been painfully paid. If you do something at this time that you shouldn't say something, it will purely be to make trouble for yourself and the Zheng family. It is also to give up the last hope!

Gao Yang put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his chin slightly to look at the bright moon in the sky, and pursed the corners of his mouth into silence. As for Zheng Sen, who was also complicated, he was not in the mood to speak at this time.

Feeling the slightly vibrating battleship under his feet, listening to the huge roar of the intensive artillery bombardment, smelling the pungent smell of gunpowder between his mouth and nose, and then looking at the Zheng family fleet that was ignited on the sea and the Zheng family sailors who jumped into the sea from the sinking warship like dumplings.

Gao Yang sighed heavily, turned his head to look at Zheng Sen, who was silent, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "I don't like my own people to beat my own people, but reality always forces people to make some painful choices." I hope you can understand my struggle. ”

"Students don't dare." Zheng Sen bowed solemnly.

Gao Yang waved his hand, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, looked at Zheng Sen and said indifferently, "If you have the opportunity to lead the fleet across the world one day, you must remember where you are!" Where's your home! Treat the enemy as cold as a snow-capped mountain frozen for 10,000 years! Any slightest hint of mercy is a crime against your own country and nation. ”

"Students remember the teachings of the national teacher." Zheng Sen bent down deeply, looked at the deck, and said in an extremely serious tone. At this moment, for him, as long as the Zheng family can continue to continue, it is more important than everything.

"Hmm." Gao Yang looked at him indifferently and replied noncommittally.

A moment later, Major Zhou Qi, the second officer of the Qinglong, strode behind Gao Yang, saluted and said, "My lord, the enemy's arson ship is here!" ”

......

Zheng Zhilong, who finally recovered from the loss of his soul, regained his true character as a hero. Now that things are irreparable, the only thing he can do is to preserve his strength first, and then try to come to the future!

The flotilla of the first two waves is no longer saved. Those were originally small boats, and they were so close to the ships of the sailors that it was almost impossible to escape after being concentrated by the dense artillery fire.

Zheng Zhilong, who was decisive, immediately gave up on them. These ships that have already been doomed to their fate can also play their last bit of use, that is, to tow precious time for Zheng Zhilong's main fleet!

The ships of the naval division were all moored at the berths of the military port, and all of them lowered their sails and anchored. And the sailor's ship is so big. If you want to set sail to sea, you can't do it in a hurry.

On the contrary, as long as the Zheng family's fleet, which had always maintained a combat queue, made up its mind to retreat, it would not be long before it could escape smoothly from Jiaozhou Bay. As long as they reached the vast sea outside the bay, it was almost impossible to catch up with their Zheng family's scattered fleet in the night. What's more, he Zheng Zhilong hasn't lost it all yet!

"Arsonist boats, all on !!" Zheng Zhilong, who had blood-red eyes, almost gritted his teeth and said this.

Zheng Zhilong's original plan was to use arson ships to burn all the terrifying warships of those sailors to ashes in the first wave of attacks. It was only later that he found that the sailor's guard was lax, and the greed in his heart made him choose to take the initiative to jump into the trap of the officials and soldiers.

Greed is the greatest original sin. (To be continued)
