Seeing that the Zheng family's fleet had finally arrived, and it was covering the northeast sea to come to the rescue, the allied warships became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and continued to fight with the warships of the Broken Army.

Lan Xiang led most of the old sea ships to gather and form a small ring to guard the northeast area.

The forward of the Zheng family's fleet was Yang Geng, a descendant of Zheng Zhilong, who led thirty gunboats and more than a hundred fireships to the southwest.

Yang Geng already knew that the dozens of sea ships in front were to intercept the Zheng family's fireship fleet and buy time for Zhao Lie's main fleet behind to solve the coalition warships, the purpose was to prevent the two from converging.

But Yang Geng doesn't look down on it, there are only a few dozen, not to mention the 300 warships under Zheng Cai's command, let's say that there are more than 100 warships under his command, and these dozens of sea ships can't be intercepted.

But when he approached three miles with his fleet, he was immediately astonished as if he had seen a ghost, and saw the sailors of the opposing ships throw into the sea the many frames made of logs on board, and then some of the sailors jumped into the water and connected them with ropes.

These dozens of warships did just that, and immediately the sea to the northeast was full of such obstacles.

It is said that such floating objects on the water surface do not have a big impact on large warships, after all, hundreds of tons of warships can be destroyed if they are fast enough to use their own weight, but now the Zheng family warships do not have such a large volume of warships, there are less than ten gunboats that can have nearly five hundred tons of Galen merchant ships converted into gunships, all under the command of Zheng Zhilong, the head of the southeast family, and the largest warship here is a large fortune ship of less than three hundred tons.

The problem is that the ships are not large enough, and they still move forward against the wind, how to break through these obstacles, and those small and light fireships are not enough, as long as they encounter these objects, they are forced to stop moving immediately.

Yes, as the wind currents move, these objects drift in a northeasterly direction until they drift away.

But at that time, the warships of the Broken Army had already solved the warships of the coalition forces, and they could concentrate on dealing with the Zheng family's fleet, and it was nonsense for the fleet to break through and attack.

Yang Geng is Zheng Zhilong's old subordinate, and he has accompanied Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu in Fujian to exterminate the people who do not listen to the greetings everywhere in Fujian.

He was in a hurry to jump to his feet, but there was nothing he could do, he could only scold Zhao Lie What are you, look at this thing you made, you also have a strong ship and a huge cannon, so you can make such a defective object, he forgot that the Zheng family also plans to destroy the enemy with fireships, and it is not to win the artillery battle, and the unscrupulous victory is the king.

All he could do now was to have the sailors on the fireboat row more than two miles north from more than two miles away, bypassing the damn thing and trying to break into it as much as he could.

The Zheng family's forward fireship fleet hurriedly adjusted its sails and turned north.

However, the fireboat has limited manpower, the sails are not too big, and the wooden rafts on the opposite side are still drifting towards here, in order to avoid these shady objects, and in order to break through the formation of the Ming people, these fireboat fleets have to turn on the mode of manual rowing.

In fact, the manual rowing mode of the fireboat fleet is used only when it is close to the enemy ships for a mile, because it is the experienced sailors who allocate their physical strength, that is, they insist on rowing quickly for more than a mile, and no matter how far the distance is, it is not supported by human physical strength.

In this way, the use of physical strength to row can go around these water rows, and when the enemy is close to start sprinting, the physical strength is not enough to support, in the past, the rapid sprint of the fireship at this time can be faster than the speed brought by the sails of the enemy ship, and now the precious physical strength is wasted here, even if it goes around, there is no physical strength to quickly chase the enemy.

But is there any other way now, if you hesitate any longer, the enemy's wooden platoon will surround you in a moment.

Immediately, the vanguard of the Zheng family's fleet appeared in a strange situation of hundreds of ships competing for the current, and a hundred fireships began to row their wooden oars towards the north.

Zheng Cai saw this move of the striker from afar, and couldn't help but wonder, what is the situation, why did he use the oars so early, he must have encountered some problems in the front, and the pioneer Yang Geng is also a veteran of the battle, and he will not make the mistake of using the oars in advance.

When Zheng Cai arrived, he found that Mingren actually used this simple and yin note, which was also angry and jumping, which was equivalent to telling the Zheng family, well, you guys will play later, I'll finish playing the coalition first.

There is no way, the brigade behind has to be transferred, but no one can afford to provoke these piles of broken wooden platoons.

Hundreds of warships crowded together to march north, this efficiency can be imagined, and the warships of the brigade in order to turn in and avoid collision and congestion together, it is simply a disaster.

The tattered fleet led by Lan Xiang was also busy for a while, and it was possible to release all the timber brought from Jeju into the sea for the sailors to connect.

Seeing the embarrassment of the Zheng family fleet moving towards the north in order to avoid the congestion of the wooden platoon array, Lan Xiang and other sailors were extremely happy, but they didn't expect that their tattered fleet of soy sauce would also have this highlight.

Of course, the Zheng family's fleet could not be allowed to break through so easily and enter the defensive circle again, and the task of the tattered fleet led by Lan Xiang was far from over.

The more than fifty warships also began to move north, except for a few warships that were left to contain some sailors who had returned to the ship.

You know, swimming in the water and having to connect to the water raft is a tiring job, and after all this work, many sailors are exhausted, and they don't have time to get back to the boat, and without the containment boat, these sailors are doomed.

Although these warships were started behind the Zheng family's ships, with the help of the southwest wind, they actually appeared in the north of the wooden platoon formation first, and once again lay in front of the Zheng family's sailors, which made Yang Geng have an urge to vomit blood.

He couldn't help but be anxious, at this time he had already heard the cannons of both sides and was a little ridiculous, was it that the coalition warships were already a little unbearable.

At this time, the fleet of the head of the family should also have broken through from the east, and this side has not yet broken into the enemy formation, causing great chaos in Zhao Lie's fleet, which is extremely bad and related to the outcome of the battle.

He ordered the forward to desperately break through the blockade of the Ming army in front and rush into the enemy formation, and it would be too late.

Zheng Cai's vanguard approached the warships of these broken army, more than a hundred fireships were at the forefront, they rowed with manpower, of course, faster, so they were ahead of the sail warships, but now they were also extremely exhausted, and these sailors who were tired of the rapid oarsing of the two miles vomited blood.

As a result, they encountered the sea ships of these opponents blocking the way, and they had to go out, and their target was the main battleship of the Ming army in the battlefield three or four miles to the west.

However, the fleet led by Lan Xiang is not so easy to deal with, they may be Peeding against the Galen ship, but when they encounter a fireship that is only twenty or thirty tons large, they are behemoths.

Although there are no guns on the ship, sometimes this is not needed at all, and it is enough for them to use the sails and speed tonnage to hit the fireship.

In the muffled bang, several fireships were hit by seagoing ships one after another, with a difference of several times their size, coupled with the acceleration driven by the wind, these lucky ships Haicang easily and happily crashed these seagoing ships into the sea, or the hull cracked into the water, or directly overturned and sank at sea.

Some Zheng sailors didn't have time to jump into the water to escape, so they capsized in the water.

The Zheng family's fireships wanted to escape from these fierce and vicious warships, but Fang Cai's rowing was exhausted, and how to sail against the wind and compete with the opponent who came with the wind was an impossible task.

The warships under the command of Lan didn't care about this, and then the wind broke into the fire fleet, and it was a rampage, and some of the warships had cracked in the bow, and they still didn't care, and they didn't repair the stubble at all.

This fleet is just to fight with the Zheng family's fireships, and it is not planned or possible to retreat with all their bodies, as long as one warship can fight a few fireships, it will be a victory.

In this way, the more than 100 fireships in front of them have suffered, these Zhao Lie's sea ships are like tigers and wolves entering the sheepfold, wantonly on the sheep, biting everywhere, just a moment of effort, dozens of fireships were knocked and sunk and overturned, and hundreds of sailors fell into the sea and struggled.

The sailors on these fireships want to cry without tears, they can't run, they can't fight, the fireships have no weapons, and the things that are to be consumed can be prepared with financial resources to prepare armor, impossible, the biggest weapon of the fireship is to attack the enemy with fire.

But these sharp weapons are reserved for the main fleet of the Ming people, not for these broken ships to consume, if these ships are exhausted, what will they do to attack Zhao Lie's main fleet.

Therefore, the fireboat fleet is simply like a small person who can't fight back, and the nests are injured and knocked over one by one.

Yang Geng's eyes were split, and he urged the gunboats behind him to move forward as soon as possible, and when he reached the position, he opened fire on these sea ships in order to rescue those sea ships.

But these sea ships can't fight back against the gunboats of the Zheng family, they are not armed, they can't fight the gunboats, they just stare at the Zheng family's fireships on a rampage, and soon, the more than 100 fireships in the front are almost empty.

Yang Geng led the gunboats to chase after them, but these sea ships didn't care, the guns of the Zheng family's gunboats were generally nine-pounder guns and twelve-pounder guns, or even six-pounder guns, which could penetrate the planks of these sea ships at close range, but it was not easy to sink them.

And these sea ships also risked the killing of their personnel by ramming the fire boats, chasing one after the other, turning this sea area upside down, and the fire ships became the most unlucky, and some of the fire ships simply did not run away, and they ran into the fire and crashed into the matter, and everyone was finished together.

Zheng Cai's rear striker's fireship was also affected, and most of it was damaged, and Zheng Cai's nose almost lost his breath when he saw such a scene when he arrived. (To be continued.) )
