Liu Changyan led more than a dozen warships of the rear army battalion to march all the way to the northeast, and just walked out of the distance of six or seven hundred miles, and the accident was abrupt!

"General Liu, look, to the east, a fleet has appeared!"

A sentry shouted suddenly.

Liu Changyan was startled, and hurriedly stood on a high place and looked into the distance, and sure enough, in an area of almost twenty miles to the east, a fleet faintly appeared, rapidly approaching in his direction!

Liu Changyan shouted: "The enemy and I are unknown, give the order, all ships are in a state of combat readiness, ready to fight, and protect our merchant ships!" ”

The weight of this escort is too important, although it is not as valuable as the goods escorted by Yanhuang Company last time, worth millions of taels of silver, but, the key thing is important, at the critical moment, there is no place to find tens of millions of taels of silver in his hand, once the ammunition is robbed, the muskets and artillery in front of him will become burning sticks, and the fart is useless!

And the most important thing is that the rear army battalion is the weakest among the five naval battalions, and the main warships of the other battalions are at least twenty or more, and the warships of the Chinese army battalion are as high as thirty, but there are only two main warships of the rear army battalion, and there are more than a dozen small fish and shrimp in the rest.

Now the ammunition and baggage escorted by Liu Changyan are fully loaded with more than a dozen merchant ships, the scale is too large, and it is really too difficult for the rear army battalion to protect these baggage!

The warships were ready to fight, it didn't take long, the distance between the two fleets was less than eight miles, standing on the deck, Liu Changyan could see it clearly, it was the banner of the party!

"It's broken!"

Liu Changyan secretly shouted that it was not good, this is Zheng Cai's fleet, how did he get here? Could it be that he was waiting for himself on this route on purpose? Although the strength of Zheng Cai's fleet is weakened now, it still has dozens of warships, and its strength is far better than that of the rear army battalion.

"Order, except for the two ground-level warships, the rest of the warships are all advancing to the east, blocking the fleet of the Yiguan Party, remember not to fight hard, just entangle the other party, Yanzhou and Qingzhou will immediately protect the merchant ships and move at full speed in the northeast direction!"

Liu Changyan had to give up his car to protect his commander at this time, more than a dozen small warships, he still lost himself, but the munitions on the merchant ships definitely couldn't afford to lose!

Liu Changyan gave an order, and more than a dozen small warships rushed towards Zheng Cai's fleet.

The fleet that came was really Zheng Cai's, and it was Zheng Cai and Tian Chuan who were in charge in person, and the two of them fled all the way from Nagasaki to the Ryukyu Islands, and snatched the two largest islands on the Ryukyu Islands, taking them for themselves, and then began to wander back and forth on these routes from Songjiang to Dongying, they knew that the expedition to Dongying, the military supplies needed to be transported from Songjiang Mansion, since they couldn't beat the imperial fleet of the Ming Dynasty, then they were ready to plunder their baggage teams on the way, and they would rob them once and for all. Never let them go.

At that time, we will see how their Ming army can gain a firm foothold in Dongying without the sufficient supply of materials from Songjiang Mansion!

As early as half a day ago, Zheng Cai had already discovered the traces of the rear army camp, and after Zheng Cai got the news, he led the main force of his sailor division to pounce directly on Liu Changyan's fleet!

The so-called enemies are very red when they meet!

Zheng Cai didn't say a word, he directly gave the order to attack, and the entire fleet was pressed up, just to annihilate the small fleet in front of him here!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

All the guns on the battleship opened fire and smashed down on the battleships of the rear battalion.

The main battleships of the Daming fleet are indeed a lot more than the main battleships of the Zheng family, but that is the Daming fleet, not the Houjun battalion, and the Houjun battalion has only two ground-level warships, and there is not a single Tian-class battleship, and the remaining more than ten warships, the largest is only similar to the Yiguan Party Naval Division, all of which are warships transferred from the Fuzhou Naval Division, although the artillery on it has been modified to a certain extent, but the strength is still far inferior to the other large battalions of the Daming fleet, which is too bad.

As soon as they fought, the fleet of the rear army battalion fell into a bitter battle, and was surrounded by the Zheng family's fleet to fight, even if the artillery of the rear army camp was sharp, the tiger could not withstand the wolves!

However, the rear army battalion can not withdraw if it wants to, it can only fight with the Zheng family fleet at sea, and the time is a little bit, the rear army camp can not support it, several warships have been hit hard by the Zheng family fleet, and began to enter the water in large quantities, once the warship sinks here, the soldiers on the ship will basically die without corpses, and all of them have to be sharks.

"Grandma, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to hang here today!"

The guerrilla general Meng Tingxiao gritted his teeth and shouted, "Order, send our warship straight towards the Zheng family's warship, even if you die, Lao Tzu will have to pull a few cushions!" Rush! ”

At this time, Meng Tingxiao was about to play with his life, using the tactics of defeating both sides, and on the sea, two warships with little difference in size collided together, and only one sank.

However, at this time, Zheng Cai also reflected, what is Lao Tzu entangled with them? Arms are the most important thing, let's leave the Ming army's arms baggage behind.

"Order, leave a fleet to entangle the Ming army again, and the rest of the merchant ships that follow Lao Tzu to pursue the Ming army must keep their merchant ships!"

With the swing of the flag, the warships of the Zheng family broke away from the battlefield and began to rush towards the Ming fleet quickly, and now the Ming army has just run out of more than ten miles away, and the merchant ships are full of weapons and baggage, and the speed is not fast at all.

"Grandma, they're really ghostly!"

Liu Changyan was in a hurry, and shouted urgently: "Yanzhou and Qingzhou stop advancing, line up in a horizontal line, prepare for battle, side guns, full firepower, and bombard them fiercely for Lao Tzu!" ”

Liu Changyan gave an order, and the two main battleships were in a big row, staying in place, and a venerable artillery aimed at the Zheng family's fleet in the distance, and began a fierce artillery bombardment!

Other small warships are not the opponents of the Zheng family's main battleships, but these two ground-class warships are both large ships with more than 1,500 materials, full of flowering cannons, and even some rockets, the strength is so strong, it goes without saying that they suddenly began to fight hard, and the Zheng family's fleet was shot one after another!

"Damn, it's a flowering cannon again! Send an order to Zheng Yun and Zheng Xian, and it is clear that the two of them will lead six warships to entangle these two enemy ships, and the rest will continue to chase me! ”
