The night slowly dispersed, although there was no sun in the cold winter, but the sun still shone in the sky through the clouds, and the outline of a fleet slowly appeared on the sea, this fleet was the Qingzhou sailor who disappeared after quietly leaving the port yesterday afternoon.

This is a fleet of thirty smaller cruising ships, ten Daifuku ships, and three Spanish three-masted galleons, although this fleet is not as large in number as the one led by Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhibao, but just seeing the size of those ships no one dares to underestimate them, especially the three huge Spanish three-masted warships lined up in a row, which will simply make the opponent feel invincible.

Now, these three huge Spanish three-masted warships are being supported by ten Daifuku ships in the middle, and there are thirty smaller cruising speedboats in the middle of the outermost round, forming a circular formation, and now this one is speeding towards the port of Wanghai Fort.

On the bow of the battleship in the middle of this fleet, Tu Hai, the commander of the Qingzhou Naval Division, was calmly looking ahead, and a hot look flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Mo Hui, the deputy commander of the Naval Division, walked up to him and asked softly, "Lord Tu, have you really decided to fight hard with that fleet?" This fleet is the brainchild of a huge man, if it is fought out......" Mo Hui didn't say the words later, but his meaning was already very clear.

A hint of perseverance flashed on Tu Hai's face, and he replied in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of, just build another fleet after you fight out." Have you forgotten how the Giants used to teach us? A sailor who can only hide in the harbor and only avoid war will never be able to become the climate, and a sailor must have the courage to see the red with a knife in order to shoulder its responsibility. ”

"But our training time is still too short, if only we could practice for another half a year or even a year." Mo Hui still shook his head in regret.

"Half a year or even a year?" A hint of mockery flashed in Tu Hai's eyes, "Will the enemy give us such a long time?" Besides, even if we train for another year, it will be more effective to fight the enemy with real swords and guns than if they have practiced for ten years. ”

As he spoke, the lookout on the mast above reported loudly: "Report to your lordship, an enemy fleet has been spotted ahead, and they are shelling our harbor. ”

Tu Hai's face changed, and he suddenly became a little bright, and he shouted loudly: "Okay, I know." Order all ships to form an attack formation and attack the enemy ships! ”

"Yes!" Following Tu Hai's order, the flag bearer who had been standing behind Tu Hai on standby immediately waved the two small flags in his hand and gave an order to the surrounding firmness. Soon, the originally circular fleet immediately divided into three rows and rushed towards the front.

At this time, Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhibao were directing fifteen larger warships to pour projectiles towards the port.

At this time, the artillery was mainly based on solid shells, although there were also flowering shells in the navies of various countries at this time, but first, the price was expensive, and the large-scale equipment was unrealistic, and secondly, although the flowering shells were effective in killing and injuring personnel, they were not too ideal in destroying warships, so the flowering shells equipped by various fleets were generally very few, and some were not even equipped.

Although the Zheng family has a lot of money, they will not equip this kind of "flashy" ammunition in naval battles on a large scale. Therefore, at this time, all they poured into the harbor were solid bullets. Although this kind of solid bullet is good in attacking ships, but to attack the buildings and facilities in the port, it is a bit more than enough and not enough, often a projectile weighing several pounds can only smash a shallow pit on the cement paved ground, even if it is smashed on the building, it can only smash a hole at most, and the loss is not very big for the port with many buildings.

However, the artillery that was constantly counterattacking in the port was unceremoniously smashed on the Zheng family's fleet, and the flying wood chips and the small space on the ship caused great trouble to the Zheng family's fleet.

In an inconspicuous building in the port, Pang Gang, who had arrived at Wanghai Fort overnight, was standing in front of a window and watching the battle outside with a clairvoyant mirror.

Now, dozens of artillery guns set up in the harbor are constantly firing ammunition outside the harbor, and black projectiles are constantly counterattacking the warships outside the harbor.

Looking at the projectiles that are constantly intertwined in the air, the faces of the generals around Pang Gang are a little solemn, judging from the results of the battle, the number of artillery on the other side far exceeds the number of artillery in the port, although the artillery in the port has thick bunkers made of stones and cement as cover, but because these bunkers are not fully enclosed, they are inevitably killed and injured under the suppression of the opponent's superior firepower, and some unlucky artillery is directly hit by the opponent's projectiles and scrapped.

Da Zhuang on the side couldn't help but say, "My lord, our artillery is less than theirs, and the other party's ships are still moving, we will suffer a lot, if only our artillery battalion could rush here." ”

"This officer knows, but the artillery battalion is inconvenient to move, so he can't count on it for the time being." Pang Gang said calmly: "We are not vegetarians either, didn't they have two ships out of the battle." But it's better to avoid hard work for now. After speaking, Pang Gang said: "Chuan Ben ordered that all the artillery in the port be withdrawn from the battle,"

The generals were shocked and asked in unison: "What, all withdraw from the battle?" Then we can't hold the port. ”

"Of course you have to keep it, if you don't keep it, what are we going to do here." A mysterious smile appeared on Pang Gang's face, "Even if their artillery fire is fierce, they have to let the foot soldiers land to grab things, right?" When their foot soldiers come ashore, they will know how good we are. ”

"Oh, I see." All the generals understood, it turned out that Pang Gang was going to put the opponent's foot soldiers ashore and annihilate them again.

"My lord, the last general will go and get ready immediately." Da Zhuang, who figured out the coach's thoughts, immediately volunteered to organize the team.

"Da Zhuang, what are you anxious about, the adults haven't spoken yet, who will go." Li Yuan, who was also eager to make meritorious contributions on the side, glared at Da Zhuang and snorted.

Pang Gang thought for a while, turned his head and said to Wang Zhi, who was speechless beside him: "Brother Wang, this time I will work hard for you, you first take two thousand people to ambush behind the port, remember, don't show mercy to those pirates." ”

Wang Zhi, who had been promoted to the capital division, responded loudly with a solemn expression, and then bowed to Pang Gang before going out.

Seeing that Pang Gang had already selected a candidate, all the generals were silent, only Li Yuan muttered a few words in a low voice on the side.

At the same time as Pang Gang dispatched troops, Zheng Sen was also commanding more than a dozen large ships to pour bullets and rain into the port. Although the artillery fire of the port counterattack also brought them certain losses, until now two ships had to retreat due to heavy damage, Zheng Sen was still firmly directing the ships to keep shelling the port.

Soon, the counterattack in the port gradually became smaller, and Zheng Sen said very happily: "Fourth uncle, you see, now the shelling in the port has become much smaller, and it seems that they can't hold it anymore." ”

Zheng Zhibao laughed and said: "That's it, our hundreds of artillery shells are bombarded together, if they can hold on, then it's hell, it's time to put down the foot soldiers next, right?" The brothers have been on the boat for a long time, and they all want to go ashore to find some girls to have fun with. ”

Zheng Sen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "The sons and daughters are all suffocating on the ship, it's time for them to relax, but that will have to wait until the port is captured, Fourth Uncle, are you ready?" ”

Zheng Zhibao smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, don't you feel at ease, I have already asked the sons and daughters to prepare." ”

"That's good!" Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Fourth Uncle, then let's get ready to start!" ”

"Great! Boom Boom Boom ......"

Zheng Zhibao was about to give the order to land on the shore, but at this time, a rumbling cannon sound came from behind.

"What's going on, where did the cannon sound come from." The frightened two looked back at the sound of the cannon, and found that they didn't know when a group of black-pressed warships appeared behind them, led by more than a dozen large sailing ships, and they had already connected with dozens of small boats behind the palace at this time.

"What's going on, how can the Qingzhou Sailor have so many warships."

Seeing the menacing Qingzhou sailors, Zheng Sen couldn't help but be shocked. According to previous information, the Qingzhou Navy Division only had ten Daifuku ships, but he didn't think that those ten Daifuku ships could cause any trouble to his fleet of nearly 100 ships. Therefore, he was full of confidence in this battle, he believed that even if the Qingzhou sailors suddenly appeared, he would be sure to defeat them, and even make dumplings, but unfortunately, he guessed the beginning, but he couldn't guess the end, and more than forty warships broke his plan.

"It's the Yiren warship that started at the head!" At this time, Zheng Zhibao beside him also screamed, pointing to the three largest warships at the beginning and said: "I seem to have heard of this kind of ship, this kind of ship is only available in those Yiren countries in the west, but where did they find this kind of warship?" ”

Rao is Zheng Zhibao is known for his bravery, and when he saw the three seemingly indestructible warships led by him, the military master couldn't help but show a hint of panic on his face.

"Okay, I didn't expect Qingzhou Sailor to have such a hand!" Looking at the Qingzhou sailors who were coming in the distance, Zheng Sen's face became gloomy.

"Fourth uncle, it seems that we can't go ashore for the time being, we have to solve the sailor behind us first."

Zheng Zhibao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down and said sharply: "Sen'er, I'll go to another boat to command immediately, I don't believe in this evil, how strong can these landlubber sailors be!" ”

When fighting at sea, if there are two commanders or important people, they are used to taking different ships, which also means not putting fear in the same basket.

"Cheng, fourth uncle, be careful!" Zheng Sen knew the seriousness of the matter, and agreed without thinking.
