Chapter 99: Naval Battles

The fleet covered the sky and the sun, went straight down to Fuzhou, flew in the clouds to lead a guard, and marched to the south guard, and his guard was five hundred pro-troops, four big ships, marching in the forefront in the shape of an arrow. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yun Zhongfei stood at the bow of the ship, looking around at his team, there are more than 200 pet fleets (nearly 100 boats with only more than 10 people to operate the boat, just purchased), high-spirited, this time to Fuzhou in the south, and then to Yizhou, vowing to clear the red hair Yi and pirates, for the Ming Dynasty to open up Yizhou and the South Seas!

On the left and right are Commander Shen and Commander Zheng, and Daniel Zhang's Western Guard is in the middle, surrounding the clouds and flying. Ding Yi fell to the back of the team as a defender and headed south at full speed.

Halfway through, the outermost boat on the left actually put up a cannon, rumbling continuously, the small boat in the middle of the contact came over to tell Ding Yi after a while, Lao Lin under the command of Yizhou Wei led three warships to ask to return to the team, the warship was miserable, Lao Lin and others had been led by the sentinel boat to see the clouds and fly.

Ding Yi was anxious, and wanted to urge the warship to get closer to Yun Zhongfei, but he didn't expect Yun Zhongfei's order to come first, and the whole army marched southeast, straight to Yizhou, and no longer went south to Fuzhou.

Soon, Lao Lin returned to the building, and several boats he led stayed at the head of the team to lead the South China Sea Naval Division, and Lao Lin specially took a small boat to Ding Yi to sit and tell Ding Yi the details.

On the day that Lao Lin led his family to Yibei Port, he saw the fire in Yibei Town from a distance, and he detoured from a distance and ordered the scouts to go ashore to investigate the situation. The Hongmaoyi brigade came to attack, fortunately, Fu Daguan and others on the shore strictly abided by Ding Yi's order, the sentinel boat was put far away, and there was an early warning, and the people in the villages and towns followed into the mountains and forests in advance under the protection of the officials and soldiers, and the Hongmaoyi found the corpses of their own people, chased them for a while, and burned the villages and towns to vent their anger, and stationed near Yibei Port, searching the nearby people and the fleet every day.

Lao Lin put down his family and ordered them to join Fu Daguan and other villagers, and he reconnoitred that the enemy had ten ships with fierce firepower, so he marched to Nanjing, looking for Ding Yi's brigade to report the news, and on the way it happened to collide with the large army of the South China Sea Naval Division heading south.

Tian Liang's merchant fleet followed behind Ding Yi, and received a summons asking them to go to Fuzhou along the coastline first, Tian Tian was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and his husband was about to fly with both nights, but he wanted to go to the battlefield halfway, but he had no choice but to go to Fuzhou and wait for the letter, all the way to the gods and Buddhas of Mantian, only hoping that Ding Yiqi would win and return as soon as possible.

It was nearly noon, and there were clairvoyants on both sides, and under the sun, there was no way to hide the boat in the open sea. They all found each other early.

The battle flag of the sailors of the Ming Dynasty is so complicated, Lord Reina stood on the bow of the ship, he couldn't understand it, and all kinds of monsters he didn't know were fluttering on the ship! In the telescope, the enemy's warships were overwhelming, and he was still a little flustered at first, but he was relieved to a certain extent, and the way Daming's ships operated their guns was still relatively backward, and his own ships had side gun windows, and more than 30 guns fired at a time. Although the Ming warship is bigger than its own, it is still operating cannons on the deck, and the way of operating cannons on the deck is backward, whether it is driving or fighting, it is definitely not as good as itself, it should be able to win, not very sure.

"Order, seize the upper hand, battle line formation, close to shooting!" Lord Reina ordered lightly, who has sharp artillery fire at sea, who has the advantage, just knew that he was going to be hostile to the Ming Dynasty, he was still very afraid, and he couldn't sleep all day, the legendary Zheng He's treasure ship about fifty or sixty years ago was huge and invincible, fortunately, the enemy on the opposite side was not so powerful, and after observing it in the telescope for a long time, he didn't find that kind of wall-walled giant ship, which could fight.

Received the enemy, "Fire, fire!" The non-commissioned officer ordered one after another, booming, and the sound of artillery was incessant. Lord Reina frowned slightly, the battle was not as easy as he imagined, and the overwhelming enemy ships were rapidly approaching.

"Bastard!" the bow of the enemy's warship is facing itself, sprinting extremely fast, he is on the side against the enemy, quickly sailing to the side, always keeping the side side, obviously faster than the enemy, but rapidly approaching, if the number of warships on both sides is the same, this is not a problem, the point is that there are too many enemies, spread out the entire sea.

"Good! hit, beautiful!" came the shouts of the excited sailors from the warship, and the enemy ships in the distance were shot one after another.

The enemy's big ships stopped firing at their own ships, and the medium ships and small boats rushed at a speed, and the distance was approaching, and some of the small boats that were able to handle the boats had already rushed to them, and as soon as they approached, a fire broke out!"Bow boats, oh! God!" the sailors shouted frantically! Their ships were running fast, but this could not bring comfort to Reina, these thin yellow men were not afraid of death, and were always approaching, and the ocean was full of white sails, like marching ants on the desert.

"Free fire, disengagement, rut retreat!" After fighting for a while, Reina realized that if he continued to fight, he would be overwhelmed by the enemy, and ordered him to retreat, the enemy could not always have so many ships together, even if they were together, relying on the superiority of artillery fire, they could destroy the enemy like peeling onions, and the urgent thing was not to engage in a broadside battle: "Retreat, retreat, shoot freely!"

The three warships at the stern of the ship were mixed by the enemy, and all kinds of hooks, ropes, and wooden rafts tightly connected the ships together, and countless Ming soldiers rushed over like moths to fire. The arson ship has ignited the side side, bullets, rockets, oil bottles, lime bags are flying in the sky, the sailors stand high and low in several rows on the Hongmaoyi warship, the muskets and artillery have not stopped, the jumping Ming soldiers fall into the sea like dumplings, the large and small warships are still surrounding, more and more ships are hooked to each other, and the joints are full of corpses!

The sailors of the Hongmaoyi fleet have been full of fear from the beginning of their euphoria to the present, the enemy's artillery fire is not fierce, but the vigor of not fearing death is very terrifying, and every thin body is full of strength, and the means of attack are used to the extreme! Some people even flew and pounced even when they could not jump from the ship, and fell into the water in a miserable scream.

The flotilla turned, the other four guards in the forefront had already engaged the enemy, Ding Yi, who was lagging behind, stood on the top of a high mast, holding a clairvoyant mirror to carefully observe the battlefield, and Lao Lin beside him told Ding Yi while observing with a clairvoyant mirror that the enemy wanted to seize the limelight and use the advantage of the guns on the side to fight us.

The general manager below asked Ding Yi loudly whether to speed up into the battle!

Ding Yi was on the top of the mast, observed for a long time, stretched out his hand and drew a big arc: "Detour, go around the big circle, intercept the enemy!" reported to the other warships that were close to the three guards in flags, and ordered his subordinates to row a small boat to report their actions to Yun Zhongfei.

Ding Yi's 20 regular warships and more than 30 small boats turned away from the battlefield and blocked the enemy's long march.

The farther and farther they went, the sailors were puzzled, the circle of the pocket was too big, the sound of the cannon gradually became inaudible, Ding Yi's fleet went straight for two or three hours, far away from the battlefield, until they saw a large island, Ding Yi ordered to sail to the other side of the island, hid the entire fleet, and ordered the scouts to go up to the highest point of the island, send a message under the flag, and wait quietly for the fleet of Hongmaoyi!
