Chapter 564: United

Gao Shuicheng looked at the place where the fire and smoke were burning, and his only right arm touched his chest and saluted to the place where the fireworks were rising. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All the soldiers on the Han Capture Tiger saluted there with Gaoshui City, and they knew that some of their brothers were gone, and they saluted them, as well as themselves.

Today's sortie is a difficult task, and many people may have to leave with these brothers, respecting these warriors, that is, respecting themselves.

The loud explosion alarmed everyone, and all the thirty or so warships that had evacuated saw this tragic scene.

Their answer was to bombard the Zheng family's warships with heavy artillery fire.

Bang, Zhao Feng almost stumbled, and the soldiers guarding him were also staggering, and at this moment a rain of arrows arrived, Zhao Feng and the surrounding soldiers were all hit by arrows, but fortunately, the range of these arrows was exhausted, and they were all wearing armor, but they were only slightly injured.

The guards hurriedly got up and re-marched with the iron shield, and Zhao Feng followed him.

Zhao Feng looked at a fireship that had been sunk by the Yang Su and grinned, and reached out to pull out the feather arrow stuck in his left arm.

Under the command of Zhao Feng, Yang Su did everything against these enemies, bombarding, striking with firearms, and even ramming, relying on his huge size to rampage through the small and thin fireship array.

After knocking over the fireship, which could not dodge, Yang Su finally rushed out of the enemy's formation and rushed towards the main formation where Gaoshui City was located more than two miles away.

Leaving the enemy's range, the guards beside Zhao Feng hurriedly put down the iron shields in their hands and began to wrap each other's wounds.

The guards beside Zhao Feng removed the arm guard of Zhao Feng's left arm, used spirits to kill the poison, and wrapped his wounds in cotton cloth, but fortunately, the iron arm blocked most of the power of the arrows, and Zhao Feng was only slightly injured.

Zhao Feng looked at the billowing smoke a few miles away and the smoke from the decks and sail mainmasts of other warships that rushed out like Yang Su.

Through the battle, he knew that the casualties in this battle would probably be very large, probably more than in any previous naval battle.

He watched with his own eyes how the second brother and the eldest brother went through all dangers to bring the captive army from weak to strong, with the purpose of directly targeting Jiannu in the north, and the two elder brothers were busy for ten years for this day.

Seeing that the north is becoming more and more critical, the eldest brother and the second brother are waiting for the whole thing, but these bastards in the south are forcing the Zhao family to go south.

Especially the Zheng family actually colluded with foreign enemies to attack the Breaking Army, in the past two years, he has also entered the martial arts hall to practice, and even listened to the eldest brother and second brother personally lecture, why these foreign enemies are staring at the Ming Dynasty is clear, they are a group of greedy hungry wolves, just to open the door of the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, they burned, killed and looted, like pirates, and for this reason, they colluded with pirates and even some officials along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a means of no compromise.

The Zheng family is now colluding with these miscellaneous people to betray the Ming Dynasty, no, the big man, he is really like a traitor, and let the Broken Army pay for the lives of so many good men.

These people conquered the Korean state for the Han Dynasty and occupied Jeju and Beihua, all of them were hot-blooded men, but today they fell under the hands of the Zheng family.

Zhao Feng really hated the Zheng family, he looked at the Zheng family's warship more than a mile behind him, and he was determined to kill them all.

It was Chen Hui and Zheng Qiu who were also ruthless, but this one back and forth, that is, fifty or sixty fireships were either sunk or injured and could not sail.

So how many fireships would it take to break through these Ming warships, and how much strength would there be to attack the more than 100 behemoths of the Ming army, they knew in their hearts that if they couldn't defeat the more than 100 warships, they would definitely lose if they wiped out all the smaller warships in front of them.

At this time, they couldn't let the fireships rush forward like this, so they ordered the fireships to slow down, and they led nearly a hundred gunboats to move forward, what they didn't say was to fight, they must entangle these dozens of warships, and they also found out that other Zhao Lie's warships were many sentinel ships or merchant ships, not real warships, and the threat was not too great.

It's just that these thirty or so battleships are so annoying that they must be entangled.

Shi Chong's commander Shi Wansui finally turned the bow in front of the dozens of sea ships left behind by his family, there was no way, a skewed sail and a sail were almost burned, the two mainsails were also damaged, and the sailors were also injured more than a dozen, all the sailors were all busy, and now they are replacing the skew, as for the sail, that is, forget it, there is no such effort.

After turning its head, the speed of the boat increased significantly, after all, with the help of a tailwind.

Shi Chong hurriedly checked everything on board, including the personnel and sails.

He knew that this was the last interception of these warships before these fireships arrived in front, and even the meaning of going deep into the enemy line and making trouble without stopping.

Therefore, he wants to adjust the situation on the battlefield better, and I am afraid that there will be little time in the future.

"Captain, Captain, look, look." The first mate shouted at the top of his voice.

Shi Chong looked behind him suspiciously, and the Han Zhuhu, with the tall banner flying high on the mainmast, rode the wind and waves and hurried east behind them.

Shi Chong's eyes moistened, this is the commander of this fleet who made Gao Shui Cheng personally rush into battle with his brothers, thinking of the only one arm left in Gao Shui City, and thinking of the commander who is now a little out of shape because of this serious injury, such a half-crippled person wants to live and die with them, what else are they afraid of.

All the soldiers of the warships knew the news, and commanded Takasui Castle to ask everyone to storm the hundreds of warships together.

This makes all the soldiers feel uplifted, and the importance of morale on the battlefield in this era is unparalleled, which is why so many royal pilots and arrows are braved, which shows that the Lord will go through the danger with you, even if the danger ahead.

The morale of the various warships of the Broken Army was greatly boosted, and Yang Fan broke the waves like a sharp sword and stabbed at the Zheng family's large sea ships.

Zheng Qiu and Chen Hui drove nearly a hundred gunboats towards the battleships of the Broken Army with red eyes.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and they both understand that success or failure is in this move, and they are all with indomitable momentum.

This is what Zheng Zhilong saw from miles away when he arrived.

Zheng Zhilong watched the two fleets in front of him approaching quickly, his subordinates he understood, many years of fierce battles with other enemies such as Liu Xiang and Zhong Bin, and then talked about his training, it can be said that he was very brave, not to mention that he had already issued a reward, he firmly believed that he would rush forward with indomitable action.

But standing on the deck of his ship, he vaguely saw that the opponent was also crazy impact, which made him extremely surprised, he knew that the cannon under Zhao Lie's command was sharp, and he dared to fight to the death by helping the broadside.

Shi Chong stood on the deck staring at the Zheng family's warship that was getting closer and closer, he turned around and shouted, "Boatswain, let the sailors avoid the cannon." ”

The boatswain agreed, hurriedly shouted a few words, and the sailors, who did not have the need, hurriedly hid on the lower deck.

Sure enough, when they were more than a mile away, the twenty or thirty gunboats in front of the Zheng family's fleet began to bombard.

A large puff of smoke and dust covered the front of the Zheng family's fleet, and then the fleet of the Broken Army suffered a blow, but it did not cause much damage to the warships, but caused some casualties.

The naval division of the Broken Army also returned fire with a small number of pitiful bow guns, but although the bow gun was only one, it was also a heavy gun compared to the size of the gunboat of about 200 tons.

The two Zheng gunboats were hit one after another, and their mainmast was immediately broken, and the ships immediately lost most of their power, began to fall behind, and withdrew from the ranks of meeting the enemy.

The two sides shelled each other twice, and then rushed into each other's formations.

If the two sides are close to fifty or sixty paces, they will attack each other with bows and crossbows, and if they are at a distance, they will be bombarded with artillery.

The warship of the Broken Army is to use the speed of the ship to break into it and bombard it with artillery as much as possible, giving full play to the power of the artillery.

The Zheng gunboats, on the other hand, tried their best to use a few warships against a broken warship, and it was best to lean on it to engage in broadside battles, they were well aware of their shortcomings.

"Well played." Shi Chong roared, and a Zhengjia gunboat on the left was hit by five or six projectiles at a distance of more than 100 paces, including three projectiles of the twenty-four-pound Tiago canner, and immediately, almost all of its side sides were torn apart, and even the upper deck began to collapse.

This Zheng gunboat is finished, and Shi Chong is very proud.

"Captain, Captain, right front, right front." The sailor shouted.

Shi Chong raised his eyes and saw a gunboat of the Zheng family sneaking closer from the right front, clearly leaning towards the bow of the ship, which was to avoid the side guns of the Yang Su.

Seeing his speed, he did not hesitate to collide violently with the Shi Wansui, even if he couldn't rely on the help, he would have to hit the Shi Wansui heavily to give other gunboats a chance.

"Right rudder, right rudder," Shi Chong hurriedly shouted.

The boatswain hurried a few steps to the stern and shouted to the helmsman below.

The two sides were still close, and finally the Vanzai began to row to the left, although the amplitude of the left stroke was not too large in such a short distance, but the Vanzai still avoided the strong impact of the enemy ship.

The two ships clicked and rubbed against each other.

The armoured sailors on both sides attacked each other with bows and firearms.

When the two ships met, the guns on the starboard side of the Shi Wansui, which had been waiting for a long time, came to a salvo, this distance was too close, that is, less than ten paces away, and more than ten guns and a projectile were not wasted, and all of them were given.

Immediately, the entire starboard side of the gunboat was completely destroyed, and there were large holes everywhere, even connected together.

Although there were almost no people in the cabin and no artillery deck, a dozen projectiles that raged destroyed the gunboat's support.

The sailors of the Zheng family, who were fighting against the soldiers on the Shi Wansui, suddenly noticed that the deck under their feet began to shake, and they panicked inexplicably, and then the entire deck suddenly fell, and almost all of these sailors fell.

Fang Cai also kept sending crossbow arrows to attack the enemy of the Broken Army, and the next moment it was almost all destroyed, which was really refreshing, and Shi Wansui's armor and sailors couldn't help but cheer. (To be continued.) )
