After the Weihai Naval Division began to seize the T-shaped formation and fired at the Zheng family's fleet, the surrounding sea water seemed to become boiling, and there were splashes everywhere, which formed a shocking scene with the white smoke in the sky and the pungent smell of gunsmoke.
In naval warfare, because the fleets of both sides are moving at high speed, and the smoothbore guns in these years are really lacking, it is not a simple matter to accurately hit the opponent's ships, so in modern naval battles, the two sides bombard each other for a long time, sometimes even for a whole day. But today Zheng Zhilong was hit in the head, and in less than half an hour after the battle began, he lost seven or eight warships, all of which were rushed to the front, which naturally attracted most of the artillery fire of the Weihai Weishui Division, and was soon sunk several ships.
"Rush over there...... Rush up and melee with them! Zheng Zhilong commanded the fleet to rush forward desperately.
For people in this era, they are very unfamiliar with the T-shaped formation, and Zheng Zhilong is no exception, but after all, he has been a pirate for so many years, and he naturally has a lot of experience in naval warfare. When he saw that the Weihai Naval Division was lined up in a horizontal line, and all the guns on the side were aimed at his side, he immediately realized that although he had attached great importance to this naval division before, it seemed that this attention was still not enough, and if he did not change the current situation as soon as possible, he would really capsize here today.
A leader in charge of the command hurriedly came to report: "Big boss."
