Lin Xishan, who has always been known for his gentleness, was full of murderous anger at this time, glared at the adjutant with blood-red eyes, and roared, "You are deaf, I said to get closer, close enough to allow the enemy's blood to splash on you before firing." ”

"Yes, General." The one who was frightened by Lin Xishan's expression.

Stunned for a moment, he turned to the sailors and yelled, "Drive fast for me, we're going to beat him up later,"

On the Xiyi galleon, a small leader ran to Zhao Lide's side and said, "Chief, the Zheng family army is coming up, what should I do." Do you want to retreat first. ”

As soon as Zhao Lide heard this, he slapped him over, "Let your mother's fart, how can you let go of such a good opportunity, let those sand boats go up, stop their ships for me, don't let them come up, Lao Tzu will bombard them to death." This ship is fucking exciting, but unfortunately there's only one. ”

The black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan went around robbing houses and robbing a lot of wealth. But he's just a coward with no ability to produce his own products. All of his ships and guns came from looting and buying them at great expense. That's why he had so few ships and artillery.

If it weren't for the fact that he relied on the tactics of the sea of people and snatched a powerful Xiyi ship with a string battle before, he would not dare to use a lot of ships as bait to lure the Zheng family's sailors to attack Shuizhai.

After the little leader passed down the order, the sand boat that had been waiting could only stubbornly head towards the ship heading towards Lin Xishan. As soon as Zhao Lide's sand boat sailed out, a pirate who was attached to the main mast of the Xiyi galleon suddenly shouted: "Chief, a large group of ships are coming from behind, no, it's Zheng Chenggong's ship." ”

Zheng Chenggong, who was originally cruising nearby, knew that something had changed when he heard the sound of artillery. Immediately ordered his fleet to move forward at full speed and prepared to go to support Lin Xishan.

However, when he arrived, he saw that Lin Xishan was blocked in the bay, and Zheng Chenggong immediately ordered the Fu boats loaded with artillery to form a line of diagonal lines to kill him, and the remaining sand boats were lined up in several columns and rushed towards the enemy ships at full speed, hoping to decide the victory with a strong marine corps through a string battle.

In the 17th century, naval warfare began to be based on the number and range of artillery, but the power and accuracy of the artillery were really limited.

At this time, the shells can only cause damage to the ship, and cannot destroy the ship if the shell does not break the ship's mast, or if it pierces the deck under the waterline of the ship's hull, leaving the ship exposed.

As a result, the ancient hand-to-hand combat of ships is still a major part of naval warfare.

In this era, pirates robbed merchant ships and robbed ships, and they all needed to rely on shark tactics, rushing up in a swarm, hooking the opponent's ships with iron anchors, and then the pirates rushed to the side of the ship to fight hand-to-hand in order to achieve victory.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Zheng Chenggong's ship was only less than three hundred meters away from the black-hearted tiger's ship before the other party discovered it.

When Zhao Lide heard this, he immediately panicked, "What, Zheng Chenggong's ship is not already in the bay, how can there be another fleet!" ”

Hearing another fleet appear behind him, the little leader asked fearfully, "What now, chief?" ”

Zhao Lide slapped him angrily, "What to do, hurry up and call the sand boat back, and let me go to the back!" ”

The little leader said, "Yes, Chief. The little one is the herald! "This little boss was scared of Zhao Lide, and he slipped away with the order.

In the battle between the army, navy, and air force, the navy is the last thing that can change the order from day to night.

The size of the ships in the navy is very large, and it is very difficult to turn around.

In World War II, one of the main reasons for the defeat of the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Midway was that the commander at the time, Vice Admiral Nagumo, ordered the order of the day and night to transform the chaos of the Japanese warships, which gave the American army an opportunity to win the first opportunity, which led to the Japanese defeat.

Zhao Lide's order caused the pirates on the sand ship to also fall into chaos, some of them rushed forward again, and the other was about to turn around. The bow of the ship hit the stern, the stern touched the waist of the ship, and many sand boats were in a dilemma.

At this time, Lin Xishan's ship had already rushed diagonally in front of the sand boat under cannon fire, and the sailors of Zheng Jiajun could even clearly see the fear in the other party's eyes.

Lin Xishan stood at the bow of the boat, holding the sword and straightening up, and roared angrily: "Open the cannon!" ”

The artillery that had been prepared immediately ignited, and with a bang, twenty solid shells hit the opponent's sand boat in an instant. At close range, not a single shell missed, and in an instant, a large number of pirates were grounded, and nine sand ships were paralyzed.

The hundred households on the ship of the Zheng family's sailor Fu pulled their throats and coaxed, "You little ones, quickly clear my chamber and load the shells!" Let me be beaten to death. ”

Needless to say, the artillerymen, who had already caught a glimpse of the fire, emptied the breeches with the rifling sticks, the bore strips, and the ammunition forks, and with a swift movement, loaded the shells, and shelled the enemy ships again.

After two rounds of shelling, the sea was littered with burning and mutilated ships, and countless pieces of wood and corpses were floating on the surface of the sea.

At this time, the sand boat of the Zheng family's sailor also collided with the ship of the black-hearted tiger.

"Kill!" Three or four hundred rattan armor soldiers jumped onto the enemy ship and began to engage in a string battle.

The frightened pirates didn't dare to fight at all, and the Zheng family army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, swinging an axe and slashing at the pirates.

The ruthlessness of the Zheng family's sailors frightened the black-hearted tiger pirates, and the sand boats scrambled to flee backwards, and even the flagship of the leader Zhao Lide was blocked. Many pirates couldn't take care of the ships at this time, so they jumped into the sea to get away from these demons.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong's fleet also attacked, and the guns on the twenty-eight Fu ships opened fire at the same time, sweeping the ships in the back of Zhao Lide's fleet at the same time, and hundreds of pirates died on the spot in this round of bombardment, and countless pirates were cut, mutilated, and injured by shrapnel and broken wood.

The masts of the four Fu ships were all broken, one side deck of the two Fu ships was all broken, and half of the stern of the Xiyi galleon was broken.

Zheng Jiajun attacked from both sides, and saw that the pirates who had no hope of escaping waved white flags and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Seeing that the pirates had surrendered, Lin Xishan's tense expression relaxed, and he said to his adjutant with a smile, "Order, let the vine armor soldiers come forward to detain those pirates, and let the sailors go to salvage their comrades who fell into the water, go!" ”

The adjutant clasped his hands into fists and saluted, "Yes, General!" Then he turned and went to herald. After he left, Lin Xishan took back the sword he had been holding tightly, leaned on the side of the boat, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that not far away, the vine armor soldiers were pulling Zhao Lide, who jumped into the sea and wanted to escape, onto the sand boat. Finally lived up to the general's trust!

On the coast in the distance, when Zhao Jiu and Li San, who had escaped before, saw that the Zheng family's sailors had defeated the ship of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan, they couldn't help but cheer to save their lives and their future future, and shouted, "Long live the eldest prince!" "The Great General is mighty!"
