Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Zhao Jiayu was suddenly awakened from his sleep by the explosion. He looked around in confusion and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

He pushed away the concubine beside him, hurriedly picked up the clothes placed in front of the bed, and did not even have time to put on his pants. He ran out of the room in a hurry with his naked butt.

Standing outside the door, Zhao Jiayu widened his eyes and looked into the distance in disbelief.

I saw flames and explosions on the distant outer islands, and it seemed that the whole world was in chaos.

The raging fire and thick smoke rising created a terrible scene.

"Guards! Guards!" Zhao Jiayu shouted in panic.

The sound echoed in the silent night sky, sounding particularly abrupt and anxious. Soon, a group of guards ran over panting, with terrified looks on their faces.

Zhao Jiayu asked anxiously: "What happened on the outer island? Where did all these explosions come from?"

However, the guards were equally confused. They shook their heads blankly, indicating that they had no idea what was going on.

Zhao Jiayu felt uneasy as he felt an enemy attack was simply impossible.

After all, they already had strong fortifications and sufficient manpower. The Zheng navy was the undisputed overlord of the southeastern waters, and no one dared to challenge them.

Most of the artillery shells of this era were solid bullets, which were just iron balls used to hit people. No one had ever seen such horrific weapons as explosive bombs.

Zhao Jiayu believed that the huge explosion was caused by a fire in the gunpowder warehouse on the island.

But as time passed, Zhao Jiayu felt more and more that something was wrong.

For these explosions did not cease, but spread rapidly from one island to another, like a terrible plague.

Each explosion brought stronger vibrations and brighter flames, which made people feel chilly.

"Report... General, we have found out that seven huge warships are invading and are bombarding our outer island fortifications." A guard came running to report.

"What? Seven huge warships?" Zhao Jiayu was shocked. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he quickly shouted to the guards beside him: "Blow the horn immediately, and all warships are ready to go!"

Zhao Jiayu's heart sank to the bottom. This was an unprecedented crisis. He knew very well how powerful and terrifying the enemy was this time, but as a general, he had to make a quick decision to respond.

After saying this, he did not dare to delay and immediately ran towards the North Mountain behind the barracks. It was the highest point on the island, overlooking the entire sea area, so that he could understand the enemy situation in time.

Five minutes later, Zhao Jiayu climbed to the top of the mountain panting, his face solemn and his forehead covered with beads of sweat.

When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he snatched the telescope from the lookout and looked eagerly at the sea in the distance.

Through the telescope, Zhao Jiayu saw seven giant "monsters" emitting billowing black smoke. They were like demons from hell, hideous and terrifying.

These ships were several times larger than their own and equipped with powerful artillery, which made them intimidating.

With a loud bang, Zhao Jiayu almost dropped the telescope in his hand. He opened his eyes wide, his face full of astonishment.

Flames were seen spurting out of the "monster" ship continuously, accompanied by loud thunders. The artillery batteries on the island, along with half of the hilltop under the batteries, were all reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​fire, as if it was a divine punishment from heaven.

Zhao Jiayu looked at the scene in horror and could hardly believe his eyes.

Those once indestructible turrets were now reduced to ruins, and huge fireballs rose into the sky, lighting up the entire sky.

He felt a sense of powerlessness coming over him, as if he was facing an insurmountable nightmare.

He knew very well that if these giant "monsters" were not stopped as soon as possible, the impregnable coastal defense artillery group would be completely destroyed.

Zhao Jiayu put down the telescope in his hand and hurried down the mountain.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Jiayu returned to the naval port and gave orders to his subordinates: "All warships will attack from the left, center, and right. Destroy all those 'monsters'!"

Under Zhao Jiayu's command, more than 200 warships of various sizes sailed out of the port and rushed towards the giant monster like arrows.

Among them, the middle route had the most warships, about 100 in total. They attacked head-on in the direction of the main attack of the Tiandi Army.

This road is the main channel from the main island of Penghu to the open sea. Compared with other channels, the sea here is wider and the water is deeper.

The left and right roads drove out from the left and right passages respectively, preparing to outflank the "monster" from behind.

There are sixty or seventy warships on each road, which is quite a considerable scale.

Ten minutes later, the central warship of Zheng's navy arrived at the exit of the main channel of the Penghu Islands first.

The Zheng army's central fleet surged out like a tide. These enemy ships were tightly packed together, forming a dense fleet, like an indestructible line of defense.

However, they did not realize that they were in an extremely dangerous situation - such a close arrangement undoubtedly gave the naval guns an excellent opportunity to bombard indiscriminately.

"Attention all ships, stop bombing the artillery positions immediately and focus on attacking the enemy ships on the path ahead!" Zhang Xiaolong quickly picked up the microphone on the radio and shouted loudly.

His voice was a little nervous, but more firm and resolute.

As his orders were given, the gunners in the fleet adjusted their guns and aimed at the Zheng army warships ahead.

At this time, the Zheng army fleet also began to realize that something was wrong. They tried to disperse, but it was too late.

"Fire!" Zhang Xiaolong gave the order, and the artillery in the fleet opened fire at the same time. Shells whizzed towards the Zheng army fleet, and the explosions resounded through the sky.

Artillery shells rained down on the enemy fleet. For a moment, the passage was filled with flames and smoke.

After the Zheng army's warship was hit, wood chips flew everywhere and flames burst out.

Some warships were blown into two pieces, while others caught fire. The crew members were panicked and fled in all directions.

In the chaos, there were wood chips and debris blown away everywhere, broken ships gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea everywhere, and Zheng soldiers struggling in pain in the waves everywhere... The blood dyed the entire passage red, making it a horrible sight.

At this moment, an observation post suddenly reported loudly: "Report to the commander, at three o'clock, three kilometers away, we found enemy warships, about sixty or seventy!"

Three kilometers away, they were already within the enemy's attack range. Zhang Xiaolong's face darkened. Just as he was about to give an order, the lookout reported over the phone: "Report to the commander, at nine o'clock, four kilometers away, we spotted enemy warships, about sixty or seventy of them."
