Chapter 796
The first to launch the attack was the Denglai Navy, whose number of warships was only [-]% of that of the opponent.

As usual, before the attack, the Dunley Navy raised two huge observation balloons, each with two observers and a draftsman.The appearance of these two big guys once again caused a huge commotion in Zheng's fleet. Many superstitious ghosts and gods even thought that ghosts and gods were causing trouble, knelt on the ground and kowtowed at the two big balloons, without realizing it. The two big guys looked down and saw their fleet clearly with binoculars, and any movement could not be hidden from the eyes of the observers holding binoculars on the balloon gondola.

Under the surprised eyes of Zheng's sailors, a blood-red battle flag was hoisted on the main mast of the flagship of the Cybertron, and it danced wildly between the sea and the sky like a ball of flames. A roar like: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" That terrifying roar was more terrifying than a thousand thunderstorms exploding at the same time, and it made people's hearts tremble.While the bloody banner was waving, the 61 battleships were divided into three formations, heading straight to the direction of Hailong——that was where the main force of Zheng's fleet was!

Zheng Zhilong's expression changed continuously, and finally he bit his lip and said: "How dare you attack me with this little battleship? Do you really think I'm a freeloader? Attack! Tear them into pieces!"

Zheng's fleet showed no sign of weakness. Hundreds of conch numbers blew at the same time, and the humming sound resounded between the sea and the sky. With ten times more sailors, the aura is naturally ten times more terrifying!
Everyone is equally tough and aggressive, and we can't tell the winner in terms of momentum, so we have to use naval guns to determine the winner.

The first to fire was naturally the Denglai Navy.The distance between the two fleets was more than 1000 meters, and the Transformers started the first round of concentrated fire salvos. Rows of shells flew towards Zheng's fleet overwhelmingly. Some warships even opened fire with rocket launchers, and the screaming sound swept across the battlefield. The sky was scorched red by the flames from the tail of the rocket, and the power and power made people look pale.However, when firing at this distance, the hit rate is really not very good. Most of the shells hit the sea, in vain stirring up tall and large water columns.Zheng's fleet had learned about the tactics and advantages of the Denglai Navy from Zheng Zhibao in advance, and was already mentally prepared for this. It was not intimidated by the fierce artillery fire, but on the contrary accelerated its speed.The range of their naval guns is far inferior to that of the Denglai Navy. Only by approaching within 300 meters as soon as possible can they use the broadside firepower to destroy the opponent, otherwise this battle cannot be fought.

The Denglai Navy soon began its second salvo.This time, due to the shorter distance, the hit rate naturally increased greatly. In the blink of an eye, four warships were hit by high-explosive incendiary bombs. The decks, sails, and masts were all on fire, and the sound of explosions was endless.Zheng Zhilong frowned. He can still afford to lose four warships. The problem is that the Denglai Navy can still hit such a high hit rate at such a long distance, which shows that they do have crazy capital and are a tough opponent. Zheng Zhibao Defeat is not an injustice.

When approaching 600 meters, the artillery fire of the Denglai Navy became extremely fierce. There were obviously 61 warships, and there were obviously less than two hundred bow cannons firing, but they fired a density of artillery fire that could not be matched by thousands of cannons. In harmony with the momentum, 120mm and 85mm caliber shells came crashing down like a hailstorm, washing over the crescent formation of Zheng's fleet. The smoke and flames billowed, and the flames soared into the sky. The rushing warships burned one after another in the sound of violent explosions. , and even turned into broken planks flying all over the sky, the losses of Zheng's fleet skyrocketed.Zheng Zhihu, who rushed to the front, was beaten the worst. The artillery fire quickly ignited more than 20 of his warships into fireballs. The damn Denglai Navy specially used high-explosive incendiary bombs to deal with them. As long as there is one A hit would set the battleship on fire, and the only thing the sailors could do was to abandon the ship before the fire burned down, because the equipment on their ships could not put out such a fire.

Zheng Zhihu's ability in land warfare is still unknown, but he is definitely a fierce tiger at sea. The heavy loss did not make him flinch, but made his eyes turn red, and the Haihu rushed over immediately.A large group of small fireboats rushed out from behind the Haihu, swiftly like arrows, dragging billowing smoke and fire towards the Denglai Navy, another damn fireboat tactic!The Denglai Navy is quite afraid of this move. Although their warships have strong firepower, they are still wooden hulls. Once they are hit by a fire boat, they will be seriously injured, and even the entire warship will be burned. big.Under the command of the captains, one-third of the cannons were loaded with shotgun shells and fired at the rushing fireboat. Amidst the sound of rumbling guns, steel balls the size of longan cores swept across the sea like flying sand, and the fireboat would be controlled to charge desperately. The sailors were bleeding from the beating—it is not easy to hit a small fireboat that is more flexible than swimming fish with a naval gun that is not flexible to rotate, but it is not difficult to hit the driver with a large number of shotgun shells .Large-caliber shotguns rushed forward with a straight ballistic trajectory, and exploded more than 100 meters away from the target. Steel balls splashed out and hit the head and face. The sailors on the ship uttered screams and were beaten badly. The out-of-control fireboat lost its direction, turned around in place, even collided with each other, and exploded, turning into gorgeous fireworks on the sea.

The trump card of Zheng's fleet failed.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu were not surprised by this. For a well-disciplined army, the fireboat tactics can't play a big role—or most of the tactics are not very effective. Take it hard with your strength.They didn't expect those fireships to achieve results, as long as they could attract the firepower of the Denley Navy, reduce casualties, and allow the fleet to successfully break through the fiery dead line formed by naval gunfire, it would be enough.Obviously, those desperate fireboats did it. In order to deal with them, the firepower of the Denglai Navy was forced to disperse. There was a loophole in the originally impeccable firepower network. The fleet led by Zheng Zhihu successfully narrowed the distance to 300 meters!
Zheng Zhihu's eyes were already red-eyed. After entering the effective range of the 300-meter broadside, he roared and ordered to fire.The bows of hundreds of Zheng's battleships turned clockwise, revealing the densely packed cannons on the port side.The gunpowder had already been installed in the barrel, and the loader used iron tongs to hold the lead balls reddened by the charcoal fire and put them into the barrel without even igniting them. As soon as the shot balls rolled in, the port side immediately exploded like a volcano There was a large curtain of fire, the sound of guns shook the sky, and the red shot put out thousands of strange ballistics, smashing hard at the battleship of the Denley Navy!

Most of the shells shot into the sea, first a puff of white smoke rose, and then a column of water rushed up.But part of it still hit the battleship of the Dunley Navy, and the part that was hit made a toothache crackling sound, and the flames rose———The temperature of the red-hot lead ball was too high, and it smashed into the wood. The hull will have ghosts if it doesn’t catch fire!However, compared with the incendiary bombs of the Denley Navy, the effect of this thing is too bad, and the rate of fire of the front-mounted smoothbore gun is too sad. The Denley Navy has enough time to extinguish the flames. This round of bombardment The effect is very unsatisfactory.

The Denglai Navy immediately responded with a salvo of Zheng Zhihu, this time using high-explosive bombs, aiming at below the waterline to fire.The jujube-shaped shells scraped across the sea and slammed into the hull of the ship, and exploded violently. While blasting the sailors in the cabin to pieces, they also blasted terrifying large holes near the waterline, and the sea water rushed in. The sailors who died in the explosion suddenly fell into the sky and the ground.Zheng Zhihu was shocked and furious: "Where did those northern barbarians get so many wicked things!?"

If Yang Menglong heard this, he would definitely feel aggrieved, because so far, he has not used any immoral weapons. Didn't Zheng Zhihu accuse people of innocence out of thin air?
However, it's coming soon.

At this time, fierce artillery fire also came from the left wing of the Denglai Navy. Another member of Zheng Zhilong's fierce general Li Yanping led 150 warships to press forward with overwhelming force.Before it was over, there were dense fireships rushing over from the right wing, and they were covered by overwhelming artillery fire. The offensive was extremely fast. Zheng Zhilong personally commanded this route, with the boss in charge, and the three armies rushed forward. All of a sudden, they rushed in front of the Denglai Navy. !

Now the Denglai Navy is surrounded on three sides. Although their naval guns are far superior to their opponents in terms of rate of fire, power and accuracy, and the sailors have undergone extremely strict training, it is a new army after all, and it is impossible for them to compete with one. Yes, the opponents rely on their huge advantages in numbers to attack regardless of the cost, and they are also in a hurry.Zheng's fleet attacked the formation of the Denglai Navy regardless of the cost. Once the warships of the Denglai Navy approached, they immediately posted them. In the melee, blood and fire dyed the sea red.This was a fierce battle that neither side could afford to fight. Although Zheng's fleet suffered heavy losses, the Denglai Navy could not survive the onslaught of hundreds of warships and thousands of naval guns. The chain bullets also made the sailors of the Denley Navy fly with flesh and blood. Many warships were repeatedly hit by red-hot shot puts and set into flames. Without taking action to fight the fire, soon five warships had to abandon the ship because of the excessive fire.One of the battleships had no time to fire a shell that exploded, causing an earth-shattering explosion. This terrifying explosion made the morale of Zheng's fleet even higher.

Zheng Zhilong looked calm on the surface, but in fact, the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the veins were exposed.Seeing that the battleship was smashed to pieces by the explosion, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "We won!"

All the generals around him were equally relieved. Some even felt sorry for the shattered battleship: "What a pity for such a good battleship and the cannons on the battleship..."

Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "It's okay, when we win this battle, the warships and cannons of those northern barbarians will be ours!"

Zheng Zhilong laughed, but Yang Menglong was furious.The five battleships just disappeared, including the loss from the fierce battle with Zheng Zhibao, one eighth of his battleships have been lost!His grandma's, these are his lifelines, Zheng Zhilong is really difficult to deal with, no matter the quality of the battleship or the performance of the artillery is at an absolute disadvantage, he is relying on the superiority in numbers and the spirit of blind fate. These disadvantages are erased!Well, you are cruel, you have a lot of warships, you can afford them, but I can't afford them, so I won't play with you anymore!He ordered: "Retreat immediately! Retreat into the Haitan Strait!"

The blood-red battle flag on the main mast of the Cybertron was lowered, and a black flag was raised. The Denley navy, which was caught in a hard fight across the board, immediately cast a smoke screen, and got rid of the enemy troops and retreated to the Haitan Strait in a long snake formation.Originally, it was a standard tactic to cast a smoke screen to cover the retreat, but it was the first time for the Denglai Navy to use it. It was a bit unfamiliar. The smoke screen was not successful and could not cover the whereabouts of the entire fleet, but it also scared the Zheng fleet. Jumping, thinking that they had sacrificed some secret weapon again, they didn't dare to rush up, and unexpectedly let the Denglai navy get rid of the siege on three sides and withdraw from the battlefield.After figuring out that it was just smoke, the Denley Navy had pulled away from them by no less than one nautical mile!
As expected of an elite teacher, he even escaped much faster than others.

The opportunity to annihilate the enemy was missed like this. Zheng Zhilong didn't feel sorry for himself. He even smiled and said: "They set off smoke before retreating. These guys have a lot of tricks. They must have learned it from the cuttlefish!"

The generals burst out laughing, and commanded the fleet to pursue fiercely, vowing to destroy the Denglai Navy in one fell swoop!
The Denglai Navy was in such a state of distress that they didn't even have the courage to turn back to stop them. They rushed all the way along the Haitan Strait. The morale of the Zheng fleet was boosted by that embarrassment. Block it, and then give them a beating at both ends, let them know that the horn is copper pot or iron!Zheng Zhilong, who suffered the most, yelled: "The sails are all full, catch up with the fastest speed, and kick those northern barbarians hard! I want to snatch the flagship of the bird champion Hou and give it to my brother. No one will allow it!" Sink it, do you hear me!" The sailors shouted in unison: "I heard it!" Zhang Man Fengfan desperately chased after him!

The Zheng fleet immersed in the joy of victory, including Zheng Zhilong himself, did not realize that they were rushing towards the cutting board prepared for them by the Denglai Navy in advance, and the Haitan Strait was about to become their collective cemetery.
