Zheng Hongkui chased him to an area more than a hundred miles east of Wenzhou, and to his surprise, the pirates stayed where they were, as if they were waiting for them to arrive.

"Your Excellency, we have already found traces of pirates, and there are about thirty or forty warships about thirty miles away from us!"

A sentry climbed down from the watchtower of the mast, knelt down in front of Zheng Hongkui, and said to Zheng Hongkui.

Zheng Hongkui's heart was shocked, and as the sentry climbed the mast, took the binoculars, and looked to the northeast, sure enough, a fleet loomed and appeared in his sight.

"Order, the fleet immediately marched at full speed in the northeast direction, prepared a flag, and asked the other party to hand over the hijacked property and surrender to the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, otherwise, the jade will be burned, so that they will all die without a place to bury!"

Zheng Hongkui shouted in a deep voice.

The Fujian sailors cut through the waves all the way, approaching the pirates quickly, and in less than an hour, they had already reached a place less than five miles away from the pirate fleet.

"Lord Commander, the other party has not replied to our flag, and they have begun to attack in formation!"

The sentry on the watchtower shouted urgently.

Zheng Hongkui was shocked, and shouted urgently: "Order, the fleet immediately set up an offensive formation and immediately prepare for battle!" ”

As he spoke, when the distance between the two fleets was less than three miles, suddenly the sentry on the watchtower shouted urgently: "Lord Qiqi, the pirate on the other side has a flag, saying that General Zheng Cai wants to see you......"

Zheng Cai?

Zheng Hongkui's heart jumped, and sure enough, it was really Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai who did it! These two who killed a thousand knives are trying to poke a hole in the sky......

However, after all, it is the Zheng family, maybe Tagawa Nanazaemon can't live, even if he surrenders, it's a dead end, but Zheng Cai doesn't have any big offenses, he has his own intercession with Sen'er, maybe he can survive, if he does it well, it's not a problem to even be a rich Tian Jiaweng.

"Raise the flag, send a message to Zheng Cai, since you want to see me, let him come by boat, and General Ben will guarantee his personal safety!" If he is willing to surrender to the court, I, as an uncle, even if I fight for my own life, I will protect him for the glory and wealth of his life! ”

Zheng Hongkui still can't make up his mind after all, if he can save these people's lives, he must do his best, they are all his own sons and nephews, if they die like this, how can they be worthy of their father under Jiuquan?

The flag was blown, and in the pirate fleet, a handsome ship slowly sailed in the direction of Zheng Hongkui.

A few miles away, but a few miles away, but the speed of the handsome ship is too slow, at this speed, how can it take half an hour to reach the front......

It's just that Zheng Cai's handsome boat has just reached the general stage, and suddenly stopped and is not advancing.

Zheng Hongkui frowned and shouted, "What's the matter? Why didn't their fleet move? The flag bearer immediately summoned and told Zheng Cai that I am his own uncle, his father is dead, I am his father, even if I die, I will not harm him, let him come over immediately, don't make mistakes again and again! ”

The heralds on the watchtower hurriedly waved flags and kept sending messages to the handsome ship opposite, asking Zheng Cai's handsome ship to sail over.

It's just that for a whole quarter of an hour, Zheng Cai's handsome ship didn't move at all.

Zheng Hongkui finally sensed that something was wrong, and shouted: "Forget it, since they can't come, then let's go over, give the order, the army will move, continue to advance, and prepare for shelling!" ”

The fleet of the Fujian Navy Division started again and pressed against the pirate fleet.

At this time, Zheng Cai's handsome ship finally moved, but instead of moving forward, it quickly retreated backwards; Almost at the same time, the pirate fleet on the opposite side all started and pounced on the Fujian sailors!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

It didn't take long for all the warships under Zheng Cai's command to start, and they all hit countless shells, attack, attack!

Zheng Hongkui's face changed greatly, and he roared sharply: "Fight, fight!" Fight with all your might! Damn Zheng Cai, damn Zheng Cai! Dare to cheat with Lao Tzu! ”

Indeed, this time it was Zheng Cai who cheated, Zheng Cai's warship suddenly pounced on it, and took the lead in firing, more than 30 warships, the firepower was not weak, one after another warships suddenly hit horizontally in front, and responded to the battle with the side side, more than 30 battleships, the side side responded, and there were more than 300 artillery pieces put into the battle, and in an instant, the firepower was fully opened, and the warships of the Fujian Navy Division were shrouded!

The unprepared Fujian sailors suffered a big loss when they boarded, and more than a dozen warships in front of them were shot one after another, and even Zheng Hongkui's handsome ship was hit twice!

Zheng Hongkui scolded angrily, but as soon as the swear words came out, he woke up and wiped it, how to scold? His grandfather is his father, his grandfather is his grandfather, his ancestor is his ancestor, scolding and scolding, all the special scolding on his head......

However, of course, the Fujian naval division will not wait to be beaten, dozens of warships quickly moved, opened the distance, ready to fight in a horizontal formation, a shell also hit the opposite warship, the two sides competed with each other, wave after wave of cannonballs, kept pouring on the other party's warship, the sea was filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of cannons shook the sky.

It's just that the Fujian Navy Division was a step late after all, and fell into passivity at the beginning, and when it came to its senses completely, there were already three or four battleships that had been smashed by shells, and they couldn't support it, which was too unlucky......

However, this is not the most unlucky, if it is just a hasty battle, the Fujian Navy Division is not afraid of the opposite Zheng Cai fleet, even if Zheng Cai's combat power is the most elite force of the Fujian Navy Division, Zheng Hongkui will not be afraid, after all, he brought the main force of the Fujian Navy Division, fifty or sixty warships, with the advantage in numbers, it will not take long to turn the situation around.

However, this time Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon came prepared, they had been planning for a long time, and the battle had not been around for a long time, and a fleet had come from the east again, and it was rapidly approaching the battlefield!

By the time the soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division found out, the distance between the Eastern fleet and the Fujian Navy Division was less than eight miles, and according to the speed of this fleet, I was afraid that it would not take more than a quarter of an hour to rush to the battlefield!

"Lord Commander, it's not good, another fleet from the east is approaching us, not the banner of our Fujian Naval Division!"

The signalmen on the watchtower shouted urgently.

Zheng Hongkui's heart sank, another fleet? Could it be Zheng Cai's reinforcements? If it's bad, if you suffer from the enemy on your back, you're in danger this time!
