Zheng Haotian gave an order, and the main battleships of the front army battalion and the Chinese army battalion all fell to the front position, and began a ferocious artillery attack, not taking the artillery on the battery in their eyes at all, attacking, and taking down the Zheng family's fleet in front of them is the first priority, just a few batteries, nothing should be!

More than thirty capital battleships, lined up, began to launch a fierce attack on the Zheng family's fleet with side guns!

At this time, the Zheng family fleet was still docked on the dock, and it only took half an hour to complete the start, and then arrange the formation and prepare for battle, how easy is it to talk about it?

The Zheng family's fleet crowded in the narrow harbor is now a live target, and it is almost impossible to avoid the indiscriminate bombardment of the Ming fleet!

Thirty capital battleships launched an attack on the side of the city, and more than 400 guns were used, more than half of which were powerful flowering cannons, and one shell after another smashed towards Zheng Cai's warship!

Boom Boom Boom ......

A violent explosion sounded on Zheng Cai's warship, and the violent explosion directly blew up the warship into gunsmoke, and the flames rose, and in an instant, the harbor of Hirado Island became like purgatory on earth!

"Shoot back, shoot back! Fuck, the order, the dragon ship is dispatched, and I am pressed towards the Ming warship with all my might! I'm going to burn them all! ”

Zheng Cai roared angrily, specially, the Ming Navy is too damaged, they even took advantage of the night to sneak attack, they are not afraid of running aground on the reef at night, once they hit the reef, they can only wait for death.

However, this is not what he Zheng Cai has to worry about, now the Imperial Navy has annexed all the combat power of the Fujian Naval Division, and among the Imperial Navy, there are sailors and soldiers who are extremely proficient in the Oriental shipping routes, as long as they do not encounter a sudden hurricane, the naval fleet does not have to worry about the problem of hitting the reef at all.

One by one the fire dragon ships received Zheng Cai's order, and pounced on the main battleship at the front of the Ming fleet, like an arrow from the string, in the process of charging, the flames on the fire dragon ship have also burned, this is the way of fighting with life for life, most of the soldiers of the Zheng family are pirates, outlaws, naturally they will not see their lives as more expensive, as long as they repel the fleet of the imperial court and survive, the reward of the family is absolutely rich, more than several times richer than the imperial court!

"Hey, hey, old tricks......"

Not far away, Shi Lang stood on the deck, looking at the fire dragon ships that rushed up quickly, and grinned, the Zheng family is best at fire dragon tactics, but now in the face of the Ming Navy, this tactic is not much use, and I don't want to think about it, at least nearly half of the backbone of the Imperial Navy are the soldiers of the Fujian Navy, and they are very familiar with such tactics.

"Ordered all the frigates to bombard the fire dragon ship in an all-out shell, aren't they willing to fight for their lives? Don't want to attack with fire? Let them see what a fire attack is in the true sense of the word! Mobilize rockets, fully cover the launch, they want to attack with fire, then amplify the fire a little! ”

Zheng Haotian said in a cold voice.

On the battleships, almost all the usable rockets were pulled up and fired towards the Zheng family's fire dragon ship, and the artillery, rockets, and muskets just formed an echelon configuration of firepower on the sea battlefield, the artillery covered a range of 400 meters to 4,000 meters, the rockets covered a range of 150 meters to 1,800 meters, and the flintlock muskets were from zero to 200 meters away, almost covering the entire battlefield space, and the fire dragon ships that rushed up quickly were covered by the guns and rockets. Either it was directly sunk by the shell, or with the help of the rocket, it had already begun to sink before it reached the side of the main battleship, and there was no chance to get close to the main battleship of the Ming Dynasty at all!

However, now that the main battleships of the Ming Dynasty are approaching closer and closer, it is the Zheng family's three batteries in the Hirado Domain that are beginning to exert their might, after all, these three batteries are equipped with thirty red-clothed guns, although they are all solid shells, but they are all forty-pound heavy guns, once the hull is hit, the destructive power is not small.

The guns on the batteries were constantly firing, and the main battleships were also hit by shells, although the hull of the ship was not on fire like the flowering cannons, but it also smashed the ship into cracks or holes!

Zheng Haotian frowned, turned to look at the cha bolt on the side, and said in a low voice: "Lord Inspector, these three batteries in the Hirado Domain are too much of a hindrance now, more than 30 artillery pieces, the threat to us is not small, the main battleship is not afraid, but our small warships in the back will definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of their forty-pound shells or sixty-pound shells, I propose, let the Qin Inspector directly eliminate the amphibious battalion, carry out landing operations under the protection of the battleships, bypass the frontal battlefield, bypass the flank of the battery, and use our special battalion, Attack the battery from land and take it down in one fell swoop! ”

Cha Zhu nodded, and snorted coldly: "Okay, herald, play the flag, let the Qin Inspector in the back prepare immediately, and the special two battalions are ready to land, and in the fastest time, take the Zheng family's fort for me!" Haotian, the order, the main battleship of the right wing battalion participated in the battle, pinned down the firepower of the battery, and created an opportunity for the landing of the special operations battalion of the Qin Inspector's Division! ”

With an order, Shi Lang commanded the battalion on the right flank to rush up from behind, began to join the battle group, and began to launch a more rapid attack around Zheng Cai's fleet!

Zheng Cai was already completely stunned, originally thought that sending nearly a hundred fire dragon ships in one breath would be the worst, and it would force the Ming fleet in front of them to retreat, at least let them not launch an attack so calmly, who would have thought that these fire dragon ships were simply decorations, and they were burned quite happily, but they only burned themselves, but they did not burn the Ming army fleet!

"Order, the main battleships are fully dispersed, evade the fire of the Ming army, artillery bombardment, and put all the artillery we can use into the big battle!"

Zheng Cai ordered one order after another, trying to block the Ming army's fleet, however, this is a little too difficult for him, if he competes head-on on the sea, relying on flexible tactics, Zheng Cai still has a chance to gain the upper hand, but now his own sailors are all blocked in the bay, there is no room for maneuver at all, even if the original plan is not good, to break through with all his strength, now it can't be implemented, the entire bay has been blocked by the Ming naval fleet, this loss is too explosive!
