A few days later, the large fleet of Yi Yun and others finally came to the vicinity of the Penghu Islands, a dense island, appeared in front of everyone, and Magong Island, the largest of these islands, has been built on the Dutch castle, from a distance, the orange-red castle looks very eye-catching.

Yi Yun looked at the castle that had been built, and felt quite unhappy, but he immediately jumped out to command the attack or something, because he knew that he was a rookie in naval warfare, and this kind of important battle still had to be handled by Zheng Zhilong, who was proficient in naval warfare. There is a rumor in the rivers and lakes that "Long Zhi and Tiger are brave", how wise Zheng Zhilong is, how brave Zheng Zhihu is, you might as well take a look.

"General Zheng, what are you going to do with the Dutch?" Yi Yun couldn't help but ask.

"Our speed is far from being the match of the Gallion sailing, although we also have two Gallion sails, but the sailman's use of soft sails has only been learned in recent years, and it cannot catch up with the proficiency of Western sailors for many years, so even if we have more ships, we can't catch up, we can't fight. Zheng Zhilong deserved to have served as an interpreter in the Dutch fleet, and when it came to understanding the Dutch, it was really the only one in the Dameng country, and he said seriously: "To win the Dutch, the first thing is to curb the speed of the galleon, so that they can't use high-speed driving to open up the distance and shell us." Only in this way can they be defeated. ”

"So how can you curb the other party's speed?" asked Iyun.

"Bloom on all sides, layout on all sides!" Zheng Zhilong's hand waved, and the flag order was issued, and more than a thousand small boats around it were scattered towards the periphery together. They hid in the bays of nearby islands, and many small ships that could only carry two people also burrowed into the long grass on the shore, hiding so that they could not even see their shadows.

Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "The Gallien is a kind of giant sailing ship, and the Dutch are used to fighting on this kind of giant warship. They were also accustomed to fighting on the vast seas, unlike the Spaniards and the Portuguese, who often fought in complex groups of islands in the Mediterranean, but the Dutch had less experience in this area, and they rarely came into contact with small sampan sieges, and this time I will tell them that there are more ants and more people drown elephants. ”

"Ambush?" Eevie laughed, "Will the Dutch be fooled?"

"Many people think that it is impossible to ambush in a naval battle. Because the sea surface does not change as much terrain as the land, and the sea is flat, how can it be possible to set up ambush soldiers?" Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "But the sea area with many islands is not limited to this limit, and the complex islands will become the natural shelter of the small sampan. ”

"But...... With such a small boat, what is the use of intercepting the other party's route?" Yi Yunqi said: "The other party is a huge galleon, just a light collision, this kind of small sampan of two or three people will overturn." ”

"That's right. But we can make them dare not come and hit these small sailing boats!" Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the battle between small boats and large ships has often used fireboat tactics. ”

"Fireship tactics?" Yi Yun didn't quite understand.

Zheng Zhilong smiled: "On the small boat, it is full of flammable materials. The two rowed and rushed to the side of the big boat at great speed. Hook the boat to the big boat and set it on fire. The sailors on the small boat jumped into the water to escape, and in this way, the big ship could be extremely embarrassed. Imagine what it would be like for me to have a thousand small boats rushing over and burning the Dutch ship together?"

"Silk!" Yi Yun wiped a handful of sweat, all along, his naval thinking is the idea of later generations, strong ships and cannons, and the enemy fights, but never thought about how backward civilizations deal with the strong ships and guns of advanced civilizations, with the current number of artillery and guns in the Great Meng Country, strong ships and guns are obviously not advisable, just rely on him to use the house to soar, three out a day, and it is far from quenching the thirst...... It turns out that the pirates of the Great Meng Kingdom have already figured out how to deal with the Dutch. ...,

Yi Yun suddenly thought of a question and asked, "But this is the big sand sea, the soldiers set the fire, they can't jump into the sea to escape, and they will be buried in the sea of fire with the boat." ”

"That's right!" Zheng Zhilong smiled: "That's why I specially prepared a water ghost team!" he opened his throat and shouted to the boat next to him: "Little sister, don't make a fuss, take your Zhiren out to meet the prince." ”

Zheng Zhifeng appeared on the boat in the distance, and there were many sailors lined up on several boats behind her, and there were at least hundreds of people as far as the eye could see, all of whom were wearing perch skins. These people's water support is very perfect, not only the body, but even the head can be completely wrapped in the water support, of course, when the head is also wrapped in it, it is not breathable, can only rely on the air in the water support, sneaking under the sand sea for about two or three minutes, you have to float and breathe.

Zheng Zhilong introduced: "This is the most special Zhi in the Eighteen Zhi, they are not afraid of falling into the water, because everyone has built a perch skin water backing with a lot of money, and they are specially responsible for special operations." ”

"I'm sweating!" Yi Yun thought to himself: No wonder Zheng Zhifeng has been wearing a set of tight-fitting perch skin, I thought she liked to show off her royal sister figure, but I didn't expect it to be a combat need.

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand again, and the special forces immediately dispersed, and each of them drove their own boats into the shadows of the island, Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "I don't have many water ghost troops, just a few hundred, it is impossible for every small boat to carry out fireboat tactics, but ...... Mixing a small number of fireships into a large number of sampans, the Dutch could not figure out which small boats were fireships and which were just ordinary sampans, and the end result was that the Dutch would not dare to collide with the small boats, and their Galion battleships would be frightened by a large number of small sampans, and their mobility would be limited, and they would be easily besieged by our main large ship forces."

"Good strategy!" Yi Yun couldn't help but put up his fingers: "Sure enough, it's a wise general, this strategy is quite good." ”

"Hey, the prince has won the award, I specially sent someone to inquire about your achievements, you are also wise in the battle with the Yungui rebels, Sanjiang Pavilion, Wakou and others, you are the real wise general. ”

"Ha, I'm not a wise general!" Yi Yun said modestly, and then said arrogantly: "I am both wise and brave!"

Zheng Zhilong: "......"

The Grand Fleet was stationed at Jibei Island, far north of Magong Island, to rest before the battle, and at the same time to give the boats some time to disperse throughout the waters of the Penghu Islands, and agreed that after hearing the sound of cannons, these small sampans would turn around from the various islands.

At the same time, these small boats were allowed to find out all the movements of the Dutch.

At this time, Zhu Qingqing Qingqing couldn't wait, she ran to Yi Yun and shouted and shouted: "Hurry up and attack, what are you waiting for here? Quickly defeat that group of Dutch and rescue our captured Beiyang soldiers and officials." ”

"What's the hurry, they've been arrested for a month or two, and they're not in a hurry to be rescued in a day or two. Yi Yun spread his hands and said, "What's more, they may not have been captured, maybe they are all dead." ”

"No, so many people...... There are always people who survive!" Zhu Qingqing said clearly: "The last time I saw the scholar Zheng Shuliang jumping into the sea and died, I felt distressed for a long time, and I didn't want anyone to sacrifice anymore." ”

"If you're afraid of death, don't mess with the country!" Yi Yun spread his hands.

While the two were chatting, a group of pirates suddenly rowed over in a small boat, boarded Zheng Zhilong's big ship, and reported, "Master Zheng...... Cough...... General, we found a wild man on Jibei Island, this wild man can actually speak big cute language, and said that he knows the prince of Jiashan, so we brought him. ”

"Divine horses, savages?" Iyun Khan: "I don't know any savages, am I so famous that even savages know me?"

After a while, the pirates actually brought a wild man aboard, and saw that this wild man was unkempt, dressed in clothes made of leaves, dirty, and his face was covered with thick mud, and he only saw two eyes blinking. As soon as he saw Yi Yun, the savage fell to his knees on the deck with a puff and cried, "Lord Jiashan, the slave has finally seen you." ”

"Wait! don't talk nonsense, what minion? I haven't taken a savage as a minion!"

The savage snorted and said with tears: "I am thirty-two, lord, don't you know the slave?"

"Thirty-two fathers-in-law?" Yi Yun Khan, he listened carefully, sure enough, this is sharp and thin, not like a man's voice, who is it not the thirty-second father-in-law? It turned out that when the royal driver was on the expedition, the thirty-two fathers and Zheng Shuliang stayed on the dragon boat together, and later Zheng Shuliang was captured and died, the thirty-two fathers relied on the peerless light skills of the fourth-order eunuchs, and used the wooden planks to borrow strength on the sea, and fled to the island.

Now that he saw that the pirate fleet of the Great Meng Kingdom had arrived, the thirty-two father-in-law didn't care if the other party was a pirate, and he was not dignified, so he crawled to find the pirate, saying that he knew the prince of Jiashan and hoped that the pirates could send him to Shanghai. He didn't dare to say that he knew the emperor, because it would be too easy to cause trouble. I didn't expect that by such a mistake, King Jiashan happened to be with these pirates, and he actually met here.

The thirty-second father-in-law pounced, reaching out to hug Yiyun's thigh and cry bitterly.

But he was dirty and smelly, and he was a eunuch, how could Yi Yun let him hug his legs, flew up with a kick, and kicked the thirty-two father-in-law out like a gourd: "Grandma's, don't come to hug me, disgusting or not?"

"The slave is happy!" cried the thirty-second father-in-law.

"Don't cry, tell me what happened later, what happened to the Beiyang Fleet in the end, what happened to the giant dragon boat?" Yi Yun snorted: "It's all you waste, you have lost a big fleet, you have to explain it to me today." (To be continued.)
