Anyone knew they were attacked, but it was not clear why they had not been able to spot the enemy before they had broken into their fleet, and the enemy had infiltrated their fleet like ghosts, and suddenly attacked them when they thought it was most unlikely.

Everyone was nervously searching for possible targets, and many officers and men on the ship, under the orders of the officers, took out their rockets one after another, uncovered the gun jackets covering the cannons, and were so nervous that they loaded the cannons on their ships, and as soon as they found the enemy ships, they immediately opened fire, but they forgot that it was night, and their sight was very poor, and they could not reach far at all, and could only judge by the lights of the ships on the sea nearby.

At this time, all the officers and soldiers were a little noisy because of the sudden sneak attack, and they couldn't judge who the enemy ship was, in short, they felt that any ship could be an enemy ship, especially those ships that were close to them were more like enemy ships that were going to sneak attack them.

And at this moment, a series of cannons suddenly sounded on the sea, and in some places in the fleet suddenly flashed a dazzling fire, followed by the rumbling cannons, although these cannons were not too dense, but in the chaotic fleet, they seemed so thrilling.

What is even more odious is that not all of the enemy ships that sneak up on them use solid shells, and they actually saw the opportunity for many officers and soldiers to rush to the deck to watch around, and loaded their guns with grapeshot shells or simply loaded them with scattered shells, and bombarded the ships of the officers and soldiers.

It was clear that they did not intend to destroy the enemy ships in a short period of time, and that they were using grapeshot and scattered bombs just to kill and wound more enemies.

A clump of grapeshot shells swept directly across the deck of an official ship like a raging storm, and those officers and men who were gathering on the deck did not even have a chance to lie down, so they were suddenly torn apart by this dense stream of projectiles like a shower, and the screams resounded through the night sky.

The deck was full of corpses and wounded, as well as all kinds of stumps and broken arms and fragments of the human body, blood almost stained the entire deck red, and the officers and soldiers who were seriously injured but not dead lay in a pool of blood and let out a terrible wail and cry for help, but at this time, the remaining living people on their ship had already been frightened to the point that all three souls and seven spirits had moved their positions, where could they care about saving these robes!

The entire convoy of officers and soldiers suddenly seemed to be boiling the pot, and the officers and men who had been hit by the artillery immediately began to counterattack without heeding it, and the rockets and artillery fired at all the boats that attacked them, and they did not care whether they could be beaten or not, at least they wanted to provide psychological comfort first.

In the darkness of the night, the sea immediately resounded with more fierce cannon fire, but fighting a naval battle at night was too difficult for these well-trained officers and men, who could only roughly see the location of the ships that attacked them in the dark, and if they wanted to hit the enemy, they could basically rely on luck.

What is even more serious is that many of their officers and men were so frightened that they could not even determine the location of the enemy ships, so they began to fire their guns indiscriminately, giving full play to their vice, that is, as long as the battle started, no matter where the enemy was, whether he could reach it or not, he would fight first.

In such a dark night, although the officers and men flotilla evacuated some after nightfall, it was still quite dense, and the officers and men fired arrows indiscriminately, and the probability of hitting a friendly ship was far higher than the probability of hitting an enemy ship.

Of course, they didn't figure out who they were fighting at all, anyway, they saw someone shooting at them, so they didn't care who they were, they fought first.

One after another, the official and military warships began to fire cannons, and the entire Yu Shigao fleet suddenly seemed to be boiling, and the sound of cannons began to sound everywhere, and rockets were launched from various ships like splashing water, and they were scattered to other ships one after another, some ships began to burn, and the fire began to illuminate the sea.

Yu Zhigao was actually woken up by his own soldiers when there was chaos just now, and immediately put on a dress, came to the deck from the cabin, and began to look towards the periphery of the fleet.

Moreover, according to the report of the soldiers just now, before they were attacked, no ships were found approaching their fleet, and everything happened very suddenly, as if the enemy had not lit the lamp at all, and just blended into their fleet in the dark, which was unthinkable in such an era.

Because no one dared to hang a lantern when sailing on the sea at night, but I didn't expect that the sea wolf tribe would be so bold as to do such a thing.

Although the fleet was attacked, after all, Yu Zhigao was a military general who had gone through several big scenes, and his combat experience was still relatively rich, and after observing it, he immediately judged that the number of enemy ships that came to attack them this time was actually not much, because from his position, there were not many fire points in the fleet, and the losses were not big for the time being, so he could still stabilize his spirit.

But the next situation made Yu Zhigao feel frightened, because with the sound of cannons, his fleet on the entire sea was completely chaotic, and as more and more ships began to fire cannons, they had completely lost control, and the real enemy, they had not seen it until now, but just blindly fired at the target they thought was the enemy.

Yu Zhigao panicked this time, because he knew very well that in the middle of the night, he could not effectively control the fleet, let alone implement effective command, and it was said that he had found the enemy and killed them, even if he ordered to stop firing now, it was difficult for him to stop firing, and he also saw that the chaos on the periphery was developing towards the inner circle, and more ships were joining the melee.

If this situation was allowed to develop, his entire fleet would eventually fall into such confusion, and he did not dare to slack off any longer, and immediately ordered the lantern balls to be hung, and ordered the fleet to move towards the shore, and ordered all the ships in the fleet to stop firing.

However, his order was only seen by some of the personnel on the ships that had not yet been affected, and those who had been caught up in the chaos were now busy firing at the nearby "enemy", and no one paid attention to his order.

So the chaos is still continuing, Yu Zhigao gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless, so he had to give the order again, the fleet followed him to leave this chaotic sea first, and take the ships that were not involved in the chaos away, otherwise sooner or later the remaining ships would also be engulfed in, and the problem would be even more troublesome.

At this time, some ships without lanterns began to quietly break away from the official fleet, but they did not leave immediately, but saw the opportunity, took advantage of the confusion of the official fleet, went around to the other side of the official fleet, and suddenly fired at the official ships again.

A cannon roared, smashing the hot cannonballs at the enemy ships, for a time solid bullets, chain shells, grape bombs flew on the sea, and suddenly several official ships were hit, at this time some official ships found that the enemy was no longer in their fleet at this time, and quickly turned the guns to prepare for a counterattack, but before they could organize an effective counterattack, they were first hit by their own shells, and for a while they could not understand the situation, and they could not distinguish who was the enemy and who was the friendly army.

Looking at the chaotic fleet of officers and soldiers, Feng De, who was standing on the stern of a bird ship, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's almost!" Launch the rockets, inform our brethren, withdraw from the battle immediately, and assemble at the predetermined location! Let them mess with themselves! ”

The main commander of Yu Zhigao's fleet in this night attack is Feng De, who was promoted not long ago some time ago, following Luo Xianbin, Feng De has now also become one of the middle and upper echelons of the fleet, becoming the captain of the second detachment of the second fleet, commanding more than a dozen clippers, of course, not flying clippers, but some bird boats and other modified Chinese clippers.

These clippers are not very combative, and they are mainly used as patrol ships in normal times, but this time they were ordered by Yu Xiaotian to come to attack Yu Zhigao's fleet at night.

In fact, from the time Yu Zhigao's fleet left Yongningwei, the sea wolf has been staring at Yu Zhigao's fleet, but he has not attacked it, and waited for Yu Zhigao's fleet to sail through Quanzhou Bay, and then Feng De led the team to attack.

With their strength, if they wanted to attack Yu Zhigao's fleet, it would basically be a suicidal act of moths fighting fire during the day, so their only chance was to attack at night.

The night combat capability of the Seawolf fleet is absolutely second to none when looking at the coast of China, and their current night navigation skills, with the help of the captured Spanish sailors, have been greatly improved, and after they have learned new sea positioning skills, they can basically sail freely on the sea, and they no longer have to move along the coastline as before.

The captain and first mate on each ship have learned new sailing techniques, and with their constant exploration of night formation sailing, the ability to sail at night is now quite good.

Therefore, Feng De took advantage of the gap between the officers and troops of Yu Zhigao's fleet at night, and led his detachment to set up an ambush on the sea in this area in advance, waiting for the arrival of Yu Zhigao's fleet.

After nightfall, they found the fleet of the officers and soldiers, such a large fleet marked by lanterns, if they still couldn't find it, then Feng De would really be able to wash and sleep when he went back this time.

After discovering the official fleet, they observed that the Dutch fleet had left the main official fleet and was moving alone, which made them much safer.
