Telescopes are still a very precious thing among the naval divisions, and the officers of more than 100 households in the naval division have telescopes, and each warship and patrol ship is under the command of a thousand households, and there are three hundred households on it, all of whom are equipped with telescopes, and there are also some officers responsible for assisting in command and liaison, and they are also equipped with telescopes, and on each warship or patrol ship, there will be no more than ten people with telescopes, as for the Haicang ship, the commander is a hundred households, plus the liaison personnel, and there are only three or four telescopes.

Long-distance artillery attacks can only be seen clearly through telescopes, and they can see very clearly, ordinary sergeants can only see through the naked eye, vaguely, and do not know the accurate battle situation in front of the road.

Liu Wenxiu held the binoculars in his hand, trembling with excitement, his suggestion with Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo was adopted, and all three of them participated in the direct attack, although this kind of attack, some of the smell of scratching the boots, is far less pleasant than fighting on the battlefield, but watching the artillery continue to destroy the opposite warship, this sense of pride is still very strong.

The artillery owned by the Jiangning battalion once made Liu Wenxiu unbelievable, is there such a sharp artillery, he has also seen artillery before, it is all solid shells, after firing it, relying on a huge impact to hit the opponent, this kind of artillery, and the role of trebuchets is not very different, but it is much more powerful. When Ma Xianglin attacked the headquarters of the Bloodkiller Alliance, although there were arrangements for the three of them, these arrangements were vulnerable to artillery attacks, and this was also the headquarters of the Bloodkiller Alliance.

The role of the Yantai warship formation in attacking small warships was very obvious, and there were no small warships hit by artillery. Almost all of them were sunk, and the successive artillery pieces made these small warships have no room to escape, and these small warships are at the front of the team. It just became a moving target.

To Liu Wenxiu's regret, the opponent soon became timid and began to retreat, and the Haicang ship in the middle of the warship almost did not play a role, as for whether to pursue, he still had to wait for orders.

The order to pursue was soon given.

The warships and Canghai Cang were at full speed and rushed forward, and the patrol ships were slightly behind. Among the ten patrol boats, two stayed behind to rescue the sergeants who landed in the sea, and the sergeants who were able to hold on, it was already very remarkable, and in such cold weather, many people were not drowned, but froze to death.

Zheng Hongkui in retreat. I haven't forgotten to keep in formation, and I can't mess around at this time. Once they lose their command and start to flee separately, it means complete defeat and the fate of being annihilated, and the other side is a giant warship with strong firepower. Under such circumstances, a lone warship has no chance of surviving in the vast sea.

Zheng Hongkui didn't expect that the other party began to pursue. And the artillery is still firing, which makes Zheng Hongkui feel a little confused, everyone knows that the firing of the artillery cannot last for a long time, once the cannon chamber is hot, it will stop to cool down, the opponent's warship, although the artillery is sharp, but also to stop, can it not stop firing.

Zheng Hongkui, who was distraught by the rumbling of artillery and heavy losses, did not notice that the intensity of the artillery fire could not be compared with the beginning.

Although the artillery owned by the Jiangning battalion was sharp, the situation of the cannon chamber heating also existed, because it was the first time to participate in the naval battle, many officers and soldiers of the naval division were a little excited, forgetting the requirement to fire one after another, all the artillery fired at the same time, and when the cannon chamber was hot, everyone found out, and the follow-up was weak.

There is also the largest red-coated cannon on the warship, the firing range can reach about two nautical miles, and the power is also huge, but the order from above is not allowed to use the largest red-coated cannon for the time being, so as not to accidentally hit the warship on their own side, because it is besieged on three sides, and the artillery is not controlled by manpower.

Zheng Hongkui, who was retreating, finally felt that although the warship was still under the pursuit of the other party, the artillery fire was obviously weakened, and Zheng Hongkui, who was overjoyed, issued an order to retreat with all his might, the warship must be out of this encirclement as quickly as possible, as long as it can keep part of the warship, it is victory, in the face of the opponent's giant warship, this time in the naval battle, there is no chance of winning, now don't think about attacking Weihaiwei Wharf, hurry back to Quanzhou, and inform the eldest brother Zheng Zhilong of the situation here, The Zheng family's sailors must quickly adjust their deployment and make all preparations.

Sailing against the wind, the speed cannot be very fast, but the sergeant who is bent on getting out of the encirclement bursts out of huge energy, desperately rowing the warship, in this process, Zheng Hongkui holds a telescope and carefully observes the other party's giant warship, including the Haicang ship he is familiar with, what makes him gasp is that the opponent's giant warship is huge, such a warship is not driven by manpower, it is driven by the wind at sea, and the north wind has been blowing today, some small warships that were left behind, unfortunately caught up, and were directly smashed by the giant warships, and there was no room for resistance.

Zheng Hongkui was very painful, he sensed that the existence of this kind of giant warship was afraid to smash the Zheng family's hegemony at sea, if this kind of giant warship directly attacked the South China Sea, the Zheng family's fleet would not be able to compete.

Leaving the waters of Pingshan Island and entering the waters of Dashan Island, Zheng Hongkui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the pursuing warship was not fast and was thrown away for a distance.

"My lord, look ahead."

Zheng Hongkui turned around sharply, held the binocular, and looked ahead.

At the same time as he observed the front, the rumbling cannon sound sounded again, this time the cannon sound was very dense.

The large warships around the main battleship began to be hit by shells, and the large warships that were hit soon caught fire, and the deck wood chips were scattered on the sea, and some of the sergeants who were blown up fell into the sea and sank directly without moving.

Zheng Hongkui's body was unstable, the size of the warship in front of him was the same, and it was lined up, this time he saw more clearly, the two sides of the warship, the black muzzle was exposed, and sparks continued to emerge from the muzzle, and every time the spark flickered, it meant that a cannonball was launched.

The formation of the warships could not be maintained, especially when several large warships were hit by artillery one after another, and two of the large warships slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the rest of the warships were in chaos and began to scatter and flee.

Zheng Hongkui ordered the flag bearers of the Chinese army to constantly issue orders for concentrated attacks, but few warships carried out this order.

The crew of the Zheng family's fleet, most of them are pirates, they are brave on the sea, but there is also a fatal flaw, that is, when their lives are in danger, the instinctive thought is to flee for their lives, this situation, in the hands of Zheng Chenggong, has been greatly reversed, Zheng Chenggong has enabled a large number of newcomers, and has mastered the command.

That's when the flaws come to light.

The sergeant has long found the giant warship, and also knows that the warship they have is invincible, after the first round of blows, many people feel that the only way to escape is the best choice, once escape from the encirclement, the sergeant's fighting spirit is basically lost, who knows that at this time, enter the encirclement again, who still has the heart to think about the battle, the only thing to do is to run for their lives, as for the direction of escape, for the time being, don't care about so big, such a big sea, there is always a way to escape.

The large warship was hit by artillery, which is equivalent to ripping off Zheng Hongkui's heart, the large warship has always been the treasure of the Zheng family's sailors, and they usually take care of it, but they didn't expect to come out this time, and they were destroyed and sunk one by one before they attacked.

Around the main battleship, although shells were constantly falling, there was no concentration of battleships.

Zheng Hongkui already understood, it was not that people couldn't concentrate the main battleship they were riding, but that they didn't think about attacking the main battleship at all.

The warships that fled in all directions soon encountered a devastating blow, and some giant warships were directly forced up, without firing at all, and these warships were smashed to pieces, and the huge whirlpool around the warships ruthlessly sucked the soldiers who fell into the water into the sea. The evading warships soon found that there was no way out when they scattered, so they turned around and began to move closer to the main battleship, which was their only option.

The remaining warships of the Zheng family were quickly gathered together, and the warships slowly approached.

At this time, if the other party launches another artillery attack, the Zheng family's warship will have no room to escape at all, and the giant warship can completely destroy the Zheng family's warship with artillery and ramming.

The artillery attack stopped, and the huge warships and medium-sized Haicang ships on the front, rear, left and right sides slowly approached, surrounding the remaining Zheng family warships in the middle.

Zheng Hongkui's face turned pale, he once thought about committing suicide, but was stopped by the people around him.

He has never experienced such a fiasco, following his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong for so many years, the sailor of the Zheng family, dominating the sea, has never met an opponent, but this time, they did not have time to resist, and they were completely wiped out by the other party without even firing a single artillery, and not a single warship escaped.

On a huge warship, a huge flag began to rise, and on the flag, the five golden tartars of the Jiangning Battalion Sailor Division were so conspicuous.

Seeing this battle flag, Zheng Hongkui, who was lost in despair, suddenly broke out.

"Big brother, we were wrong, Jiang Ningying is really brave, it's not something that our Zheng family can contend with, we are killing ourselves......" (to be continued......)
