Zheng Zhilong left Xiaoliuqiu with great sadness and indignation, he also sneaked south, and then used the night to drive west, in order to escape the pursuit of Zhao Lie's department, he even ventured to light the pilot light at night and continue to hurry, in order to escape the pursuit of the captive army, he also tried his best, and also took risks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Along the way, Zheng Zhilong thought about the entire cause and effect, and came to the conclusion that he still despised the combat power of Zhao Lie's department, except for Liu Xiang who was always looking for trouble in the past few years, it was calm at other times, and the Zheng family went too smoothly.

Even if the Dutch attacked and harassed, at most a dozen warships, and there was nothing to do if they encountered one or two hundred warships and fireships of the Zheng family's fleet, and in the end they did not obediently flee back to Xiaoliuqiu, and even had to send people to sue for peace.

This made the Zheng family, including himself, think too highly of themselves, and look down on others, including the Xiyi people.

In fact, this time, the Zheng family has already felt some problems in this regard, such as the coalition of nearly 100 warships of the Xiyi people, which made Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao and others slightly surprised, the Zheng family did not expect that these Xiyi people, and even the Spaniards and Dutchmen, could unite and form such a powerful fleet.

This has actually given the Zheng family a warning, many things are not as simple as they imagined, but the Zheng family still underestimated the enemy.

Thinking about it in hindsight, if even the Xiyi people with a huge Xiyi fleet were trembling at this Zhao Lie, and they had to pull his Zheng family to start attacking, it just showed the strength of Zhao Lie's naval division.

If there is a mistake, the biggest mistake is here, although Zhao Lie's department often passes by the coast of Fujian, it has never clashed with the Zheng family's fleet.

This gave the Zheng family the illusion that the combat power of this Ming family was average, and they did not dare to provoke the Zheng family, and they were very jealous of the Zheng family, which confused the eyes of the Zheng family.

In fact, the Zheng family can take the initiative to provoke trouble and try to attack this Ming people, so they have a clear understanding of the combat power of this Ming people, and they will not make such a big mistake today.

In this war, Zhao Lie's sailors and huge cannons are incomparable, and the soldiers under his command are even more brave and not mortals, once they face a desperate situation, they will die with the enemy.

Of course, these are all hindsight, Zheng Zhilong has calculated his remaining strength along the way, there are still three hundred large and small warships in Penghu and Xiamen Island, dozens of warships in Laochao Anping, and dozens of warships in eastern Guangdong, of course, these are the flow of Fuhai birds and sand that can still be on the table, as for other small boats, there are hundreds, distributed along the coast of Fujian, controlled by many small military leaders.

After all, there is no problem of long-distance sailing along the coast, and the nearly 1,000 warships and fireships that have been patched together will still pose a great danger to Zhao Lie's fleet, and if he is in Zhao Lie's point of view, he will not be so unwise to compete with fireships.

It seems that he has to endure for several years or even ten years, and Zheng Zhilong is helpless and aggrieved.

After several days of sailing, Zheng Zhilong and his entourage of nearly 20 gunboats finally returned to their hometown of Anping in Quanzhou, Fujian.

On the dock, his younger brother Zheng Zhibao, who stayed in his hometown, greeted him, and Zheng Zhibao already knew the news of the defeat of the coalition army and the Zheng family's naval division.

Since yesterday, several gunboats have been running back one after another, bringing the news of the fiasco back to Anping.

This made Zheng Zhibao very anxious, and he didn't know how safe his eldest brother was, after all, Zheng Zhilong was not only the head of the Zheng family, but also the backbone of the Zheng family.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong finally came back this time, Zheng Zhibao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Zheng Zhilong got off the boat, couldn't take a break, and immediately asked Zheng Zhibao to issue an order, send a sentry boat to know Penghu's sailors to immediately abandon Penghu and withdraw to Anping.

In addition, the garrison, which is well versed in Xiamen Island, has strengthened its vigilance to prevent a sneak attack.

Finally, he ordered the warships in eastern Guangdong and other places to return to Anping immediately, after all, the old nest is now empty.

As for the vigilance of Anping Port, it is needless to say, but the failure to build a fort in Anping Port now seems to be the biggest mistake.

Zheng Zhilong had already made what he thought was the most appropriate and reasonable arrangement, but all his arrangements still had to wait for a few days to ten days, otherwise it would not have time to take effect.

It's a pity that the Broken Army didn't give him this opportunity, on the fourth day of Zheng Zhilong's return, Anping Port was raided by dozens of warships of the Broken Army, even if there were sentinel ships on the periphery to warn, but in less than an hour, it was only enough for more than 50 warships to set sail.

The Zheng family's warship is not for fighting, but for fleeing, since the Ming people dare to hit the door, then there is no need to doubt the combat power of the ship, after a few days of fighting, Zheng Zhilong has understood that these dozens of gunboats and sentinel ships are not enough to see, or to avoid the war.

However, just a few miles after the Zheng family's warship sailed, it was blocked by more than 20 patrol ships and more than 20 Tang-class and Song-class warships.

The artillery battle between the two sides began a few miles from the pier, and the number of warships on both sides was almost the same, but the difference in combat power was insignificant.

Boom, boom, the battleships around roared angrily at the enemy ships with their sideboards, shaking Anping Bay.

Zhang Gusheng stood on the deck and looked at the entire battlefield, only to see the patrol ships Tang-class battleships cooperating with each other to fiercely break into the enemy formation, and use the artillery fire on both sides to strike Zheng Zhilong's warship left and right.

The tactics of the battleships of the Broken Army Navy Division this time were a bit disregarding casualties, and they were completely in the face of enemy artillery fire and risking the danger of being damaged by the fireboats, and they were all killers of all the Zheng family battleships they encountered.

Zhang Gusheng also has no way to do this, because the hatred of the Breaker Army and Navy Master for the Zheng family is higher than the sky, even if the marshal has no way to do this, in Zhang Gusheng's opinion, he can only connive and let his soldiers vent their hatred.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao looked at the one-sided fierce battle in the bay with a pale face, the warships under Zhao Lie's command were simply tortured and killed the Zheng family's warships, the guns of the Zheng family's thirty gunboats together were less than three hundred, and the caliber of the guns was too small, posing no threat to Zhao Lie's warships.

And none of the fireships came back at all, and ten fireships in Anping had already gone to war, but the scale was too small, and it was only consumed after igniting a small warship on the other side, how to fight.

This one-sided battle ended in less than an hour, and the Breakers paid the price of one patrol ship being burned and four patrol ships being damaged, and all four of them were annihilated.

What frightened the Zheng family the most was that the sailors under Zhao Lie's command wantonly slaughtered the warships floating on the sea, and it would not be finished until they were sunk.

Is it over when you sink it, no, they killed the sailors of the Zheng family who jumped into the sea to escape, rammed them with ships, and killed them with firearms.

The warships were constantly slaughtered with the sailors who fell into the sea, and the entire Anping Bay became the Red Sea, and the bodies of many Zheng family sailors floated in the bay, and Anping Bay at this time became a real sea of hell.

Even hundreds of years later, the legend of the Red Sea is still spread here, and Anping Sea has had two other names since then, the Red Sea and the Sea of Hell.

Of course, it is all circulated privately by the people of Fujian, after all, the government scoffs at this, but it does not delay the spread of these titles.

This is also another evidence of the murderous nature added by some pedantic people in later generations to the Broken Army, which has the same name as the bloody slope of the Battle of the Blood Temple of the Wa Kingdom.

Is the matter of the warship over, no, without the fetters of any enemy warship, the Tang and Song-class battleships approached the dock, and then began to bombard the Zheng family's mansion covering an area of 100 acres.

More than a dozen battleships lined up, and the 300 huge guns on the side began to cover the Zheng family's mansion only a few miles from the dock.

The sound of boom and bang was simply one after another, and countless hot projectiles rushed into the Zheng family's compound, ruthlessly destroying the exquisite mansion built by the Zheng family with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

The people in the Zheng family's mansion fled out under artillery fire, and in a short period of time, the Zheng family's compound became a place of death without people, and only the continuous burning fire engulfed the magnificent courtyard and water pavilion.

After nearly ten rounds of artillery bombardment, the barrels of the artillery were hot, and the warships, which could not stop without stopping, began to retreat.

More than 20 Galen merchant ships began to dock, and the armored soldiers of the brigade began to land.

The landing of the infantry team was commanded by Li Lu, and Zhao Lie originally brought two thousand infantry troops on this expedition, after all, he had made the worst plan, once Anping City was in danger, he had to go ashore to reinforce it.

This time to fight Zheng Zhilong's lair, Zhao Lie did not let these two thousand teams fight, after all, they were thousands of miles away, and this combat power can have five good achievements.

So Zhao Lie ordered these two thousand corps to land on the shore to rest, anyway, Anping City is a job to guard the prisoners.

Li Lu received Zhao Lie's general order and transferred more than 2,000 people from the Anping garrison to board the ship to conquer Zheng Zhilong's lair.

To say that the last month of the Anping garrison was a waiting, because the casualties were extremely large, the coalition army and Zheng Zhilong's troops no longer planned to storm the huge fortress of Anping City, and no one could afford this casualty.

Therefore, the coalition forces are besieging Anping City and waiting for the rice and grain in the inner city to be cut off.

At this time, the safety and security are no longer up to the Anping defenders, but are decided by the decisive battle between the sailors of both sides.

Therefore, Li Lu and his subordinates spent the last month and more calmly, and their combat strength was not damaged in the slightest, this time they embarked on the journey in high spirits, they also held their breath, were surrounded and attacked for several days, and then were besieged heavily, it was because of the coalition army and the Zheng family that they were so aggrieved.

Now that he can set foot on the Zheng family's lair to take revenge, this pleasure is needless to mention, and the desire to fight is strong. (To be continued.) )
