The fleets on both sides crossed a huge arc back and forth on the sea, and finally began to approach and entangle, but at this time, the Zheng army's warships were no longer much faster than the Mawei navy. Close combat, on the contrary, is beneficial to the Mawei army, but in this way, the casualties of the Mawei army will inevitably increase a lot, and the battleships will also have a lot of damage.

"Pass the order, all the large warships will adjust their course, impact the small warships of the Zheng army, and plow all the way!" Wang Zhenbang shouted loudly to issue the latest order.

The Mawei Army's large warships were far more than Taiwan's naval divisions, especially the third-class warships, all of which were as tall as buildings, and if the small warships of the Zheng Army were hit, they would all be shattered.

However, Taiwan's warships are small and light, and it is not easy to collide with them, and Zheng Jun has been drifting on the sea for many years, and the sailors are extremely skilled in handling the sails and supporting the rudder, and after the order was issued, only a few of the Mawei warships sporadically hit Zheng Jun's small boats, and the others not only did not hit others, but were approached by people from both sides, and it was impossible for the guns of the giant ships to shoot diagonally downward, and they could only use rifles to condescend and continue to fire volleys.

Zeng Rui also came with the determination to die, and his order was to let the warships under his command not fight alone, but find the right opportunity to face a Mawei warship and kill one by one. Therefore, many Mawei warships were suddenly surrounded by two or more small warships of the Zheng army.

Of course, the Mawei battleship will not just sit idly by, and the marines on the battleship are holding rifles, and the guns are constantly ringing out, and the smoke of gunfire is everywhere. Zheng Jun was also an outlaw who had lived at sea for many years. Extremely brave. Braving the rain of bullets, he kept approaching the giant ship of the Mawei Army. The captains of the warships of the Mawei Army also understood that once they were glued to each other, it would be extremely dangerous.

"Come on, come if you're not afraid of death, herald, herald the soldiers on the deck to prepare, let Zheng Jun taste our benefits!"

"Yes, Commander!" This is an order from the flagship of the 8th Detachment. The Eighth Squadron was originally in a rear-of-the-back position. But when they are staggered and entangled, they become front, and at this time they are also the most ferocious with Zheng Jun.

"Chirp" Bullets flew like rain on the Mawei battleship, but there were rockets volleying in the air on Zheng Jun's side, intending to set the Mawei battleship on fire, and some of the marines on the deck of the Mawei battleship held a giant shield to block the rocket, and the other part of the soldiers hid behind the giant shield and fired back with rifles, but that's it, the Zheng army's small warship was still getting closer. When Zheng Jun's small warship approached the two sides of the warship, the captain of the battleship shouted: "Throw! ”

The vast majority of the battleships that Zheng Jun chose to defend were the third-class warships of the Mawei Army. But the third-class battleships were much larger than their ships, and you can imagine the difference between a five-story building that was fourteen or fifteen meters tall and a twenty-story building that was sixty meters high. You can also understand the difference between small warships and third-class warships. Under the command of the captain of the battleship, in an instant, the horsetail army on the giant ship condescended, throwing a grenade and the explosive package that had been prepared a long time ago, like hail and like a stone falling on Zheng Jun's small warship;

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A series of explosions wreaked havoc on Zheng Jun's small warship, the tall mast snapped off, and the deck cabins were all blown off, turning into countless broken planks scattered on the sea.

On the small warship, Zheng Jun also hid gunpowder, which was intended to be used to blow up the ship after sticking to the giant ship of the Mawei Army, but it was also exploded at this time, and the huge fireball rushed up two or three zhang high, the hull of the ship was completely shattered, and the flying wooden planks hit the giant ship of the Mawei Army, which frightened the soldiers of the Mawei Army, for fear that their giant ship would not be able to withstand it. Except for Zheng Jun, who saw the opportunity quickly and jumped into the sea to escape, most of the Zheng Jun on the small warship were blown up to the ground.

Zheng Jun's tactics only caused trouble to the Mawei Army for a while, and soon, the surrounding warships also reacted, except for the fourth-level and fifth-level battleships that were engaged with the main battleships of the Zheng Army, the other looked in the direction, straight forward, and the surrounded third-level battleships passed by, and it was precisely because of this that those small warships had nowhere to hide, and were hit by the Mawei warships. A small boat is a small boat, and under the impact of a large boat, the hull of the boat cracks, and some even plunge directly into the seawater.

Some of the warships wanted to flee when they saw the bad opportunity, but the surrounding Mawei battleships did not let go of this opportunity, and a large number of guns on the battleships began to fire. Of course, the firepower of the Mawei Army was very fierce, and a single salvo in the vicinity whizzed nearly a hundred shells, and there were all solid shells and flowering shells. These small ships in a panic were almost a live target, and in this case, it was only a matter of time before they were sunk.

Zheng Jun's battleships are mostly on the side of the Mawei Army, and ninety percent of the guns on the battleship are on the side side, just on one side, there are more than 20 large and small guns on the fifth-level battleship, counting these guns are a salvo every 30 seconds, and the cannonballs don't need to be smashed, which means that these Zheng Jun's warships are hitting the muzzle of the battleship.

It is true that the artillery on the Zheng army's warships can also bombard the Mawei warships, but Zheng Jun's small ships are only a few small cannons, and the number is no more than ten, and there are even fewer on one side, and most of their cannons are Hongyi cannons with a slow rate of fire. In comparison with the two sides, the Mawei Army fired thirty projectiles at a time, and they only fired about three at a time on average.

In addition, this has to count the time, in the same three minutes, the Mawei battleship has been fired six times, one hundred and eighty cannons have been discharged, and the Qing army has only fired once, at most five shells, even if it is four or five ships, it is only less than twenty shells, which is almost a ratio of ten to one, unless Guanyin Bodhisattva is his mother-in-law, the Jade Emperor is his godfather, and the Buddha is his comrade, otherwise it must be these small boats that die.

In other areas, since close combat had begun, the warships were very close, and the artillery, marines, and so on on the warships were busy moving. The artilleryman pestled his torch on the cannon door that had been prepared in front of him, and the musketeer pulled the trigger. I can only hear "tom tom tom!" The sound is the same as "Bang Bang! The sound complements each other, and is accompanied by bursts of screams, forming a unique symphony. It's just that this symphony is only for warriors who have fought bloody battles.

So many ships are in close proximity. Muzzle. A cloud of smoke rose from the muzzle of the musket, clouds of green smoke rose from the surrounding area, and the ship was also enveloped in smoke. The Zheng army warship on the opposite side was unlucky this time, grapeballs can be very different from solid iron bullets, although grapeshothulets can't damage ships, but the close-range damage is far more than solid bullets. These heavy guns can be loaded with hundreds of marbles at a time, all of which are small marbles of the same size and size. If you fire from a distance, of course, it will not be powerful. Because this grape bomb is not as good as a solid bullet at all, the distance will not exceed 300 meters; However, when launched at close range, it can be said that it is a dozen large pieces, and the killing effect on the human body is very powerful.

At this moment, the two sides of the two sides of the staggered boats, the distance is only about thirty or forty meters, a large piece of grape bombs hit over, immediately like rain swept across the other party's boat, hit the opponent's ship Zheng Jun screamed miserably, and then fell on the boat. Those who didn't die wailed and rolled, and some even fell off the side of the boat. Screaming and falling into the sea.

The Mawei army has a large number of artillery on its side, and the speed of reloading is not slow. But at this opportunity, the horsetail marines, that is, the musketeers, did not stop for a moment, and some of the soldiers took their bows and arrows at this time, put the ignited rockets on the bowstrings, and tried to pull the strings to open the bows, and swished the flaming arrows towards the opponent's ship, the target, which was the sail of the enemy ship.

Basically, a round of grape bombs passed, and few Zheng Jun on the deck dared to take the lead, just watched the sails catch fire, and hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the fire. The Taiwanese warships suffered heavy casualties, and the Mawei Navy did not have a good time. Although there were few guns on the other side, at such a close distance, many shells also fell on the ships, and the hulls of some of them were immediately severely damaged. A lot of shells hit the cabin, causing a lot of damage to the personnel inside. More shells smashed the ship's side deck, and sawdust flying everywhere scratched a large number of soldiers.

At this time, in the Dongning sea area, the entire sea surface was filled with gunsmoke, artillery fire was in the sky, and the artillery bombardment was like the sky cracking and the sea flowing; On the sea within a radius of several miles, the waves were like anger, the wind and clouds changed, Zheng Jun had seventy-seven warships left, and the Mawei Army warships were only destroyed again in the melee just now, and there were still more than two hundred warships, covering the sea, and in the smoke of gunpowder, tongues of fire continued to spray, and thunder and thunder rolled and echoed.

The sound of war drums, shouts, guns, and angry waves are intertwined into a sky-high air current, blowing straight into the night.

Zeng Rui could also clearly feel that there was not much left of his own fleet, and they were separated from the melee together, but his fleet still happened to be at a disadvantage, and it was not conducive to them to fight again. At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, which was conducive to the Mawei Army, and the Taiwanese naval division was now sailing from south to north against the wind, and the speed was slow, and Zeng Rui was also in a hurry. At this moment, I saw the thick smoke billowing on the sea, coming from the sky, and one after another warships were floating on the sea, like huge torches, burning brightly. The water was littered with floating planks and corpses, stirring with the waves;

The Mawei army rode the wind, they had surrounded the Zheng army's naval division in the vast smoke of gunpowder, Wang Zhenbang did not hesitate, and continued to order the attack, at this time, as long as the other party did not surrender, then it could continue to fight. For a while, the sound of explosions, shouts and killings was like a huge wave again, wave after wave of head-on attack, the most appalling thing was the cheer of "capturing Zheng Jing alive", which was already resounding and ringing, listening to the ears of Zheng Sergeant, which was terrifying

The Mawei army only fired two rounds again, and in the middle of the Zheng army began to move. Through the smoke of gunpowder, it can be seen that many Zheng Jun ships have lowered their sails, which shows that they should have surrendered at this moment. Only a dozen or so remaining warships, large and small, were fleeing south in a panic.

Those who surrender don't care, and those who escape can not be spared, although there are only more than ten ships, but there are eight of them are imitation Portuguese warships, and the officers and men of the Mawei Army are still very interested. The fifth-level battleships of the Mawei Army behind rode the wind and waves, cheering like a tide, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Zheng army was so frightened that the whole army collapsed.

It's hard to believe that they are Zheng's Taiwanese sailors who have been rampant in the East China Sea for many years, and this is clearly a group of frightened lost dogs.

The defeat is like a mountain, it's really true, the Zheng army fled in a panic, you turn to the east, I turn to the south, and they are all in a hurry to escape from the attack range of the Qin army; These good ones did not want to surrender, and the battleships that escaped lost their command and fell into a great chaos, many of which collided with each other, and after the loud bang, there was the sound of the cracking of the warships;

The soldiers were yelling at each other, howling, hysterical, and the great panic had made most of them lose their minds. The horsetail army carried the power of great victory, set sail to chase and kill, all the way to the south, the explosions on the sea surface one after another, let the sea water boil, thick smoke, wind and clouds, shouts, cheers, screams, intertwined like a tide, the sound spread for more than ten miles.

"Zheng Jun is defeated!"

"Zheng Jun has surrendered!!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

After Zheng Jing was finished, Taiwan's sailors were destroyed, and his hopes were dashed. Zheng's sailors, who have been rampant in the East China Sea for decades, have finished pouring all their efforts into this fleet with his father Zheng Chenggong, and have worked hard for half a lifetime, originally thought that he was an invincible sailor in the world, but he didn't expect that this Mawei Army was developing so rapidly, in fact, when the Mawei Army was pressing, he was already a model of six gods and no masters, and now the Taiwanese Navy is finally over.

Zeng Rui wanted to die for his country, but he was knocked unconscious by his subordinates, and when he woke up, he spit out the encirclement for almost disbelieving his eyes, and he couldn't believe that what he saw was real, the beard under his chin trembled slightly, and his hands and feet were cold. I thought that even if they couldn't destroy the Mawei Army, they could still be severely damaged, but at this moment, the situation understood that their own sailors were vulnerable in front of the Mawei Army.

Zeng Rui ran back with a small number of warships, but it didn't matter, they couldn't move Taiwan away, and the Mawei Army received the warships of Taiwan's Dingbei general Wang Shun under the order of Wang Zhenbang at the moment, and waited until it was almost packed up here, that is, it was time to board the mainland of Taiwan. When the time comes, see where Zeng Rui and other Taiwanese generals can go!
