Chapter 104: A Brutal and Frustrating Naval Battle
"Rumble..."
Another explosion was heard on the warship.
The red cannon of this era.
The shells used were solid bullets, which were simply big iron balls.
And the artillery shells used by Geng Zhongming and his men.
It is a blooming bomb from hundreds of years later.
Its power far exceeded Zheng's army's expectations.
As the explosion sounded.
The entire warship shook violently.
The two brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao fell heavily on the deck again.
Zheng Zhihu was terrified at this time!
He really couldn't understand how Mao Wenlong and his men could have such awesome artillery.
Zheng Zhihu couldn't even take care of Zheng Zhibao.
After getting up again, he ran back as fast as he could.
Run to the stern and jump directly.
He jumped into the sea and swam desperately towards the warship behind him...
Zheng Zhibao was completely confused.
There was no time to think about what happened or what to do!
He just instinctively followed Zheng Zhihu to escape.
Seeing Zheng Zhihu jump into the sea, Zheng Zhibao followed suit...
Soldiers on the warship behind.
I saw Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao jump into the sea.
Quickly lower the boat and rope to rescue Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao...
……
Li Jing first used a telescope.
He was always observing the enemy's main general.
After seeing the other party escape.
And the enemy's main ship was on fire.
Li Jingxian ordered: "Adjust the shooting angle and give priority to attacking the enemy's warships with artillery..."
"Rumble...Rumble..."
The 75mm mountain gun continued to roar.
They began to call out the names of the enemy warships one by one.
The warships led by Zheng Zhihu and his men were in a favorable direction.
Plus the formation is relatively dense.
It was impossible to turn around at once.
Artillery under the command of Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao.
They also fired at Li Jingxian and his men.
But their artillery didn't have enough range.
All the shells fell into the sea.
Apart from splashing water on the sea, everything else is meaningless!
Since I can't escape all of a sudden.
Then we have to find another way!
Some people commanded the warships and continued to move forward fearlessly.
I want to close the distance before continuing to fire.
As a result, it became a priority target of attack.
The ship was destroyed in two shots by a 75mm mountain gun...
More warships were trying to turn around or escape to the north or south.
The fleet led by Zheng Zhihu and his men.
The battle had just begun, but it had already fallen into chaos...
……
the other side.
Zheng Zhilong heard the sound of cannons and explosions.
Because the sound of the firing was obviously different, it was obviously not their artillery.
Zheng Zhilong knew that something was wrong!
Since the enemy fired first, their people did not immediately fight back.
This indicates the enemy's artillery.
Far surpassed their artillery in range.
Have artillery with longer range in naval battles.
This gives us an absolute advantage.
Even if the sound of the enemy's artillery fire is very sparse, it means that the enemy does not have many artillery pieces.
But this kind of artillery has a longer range and greater power.
As long as there are enough shells.
A few guns are enough to change the situation...
Zheng Zhilong understood everything in the blink of an eye.
He immediately gave the order: "All warships turn around immediately and try to run to the north and south. As many as possible can run away..."
Zheng Zhilong and his men made some unusual moves.
He was immediately discovered by Geng Zhongming.
Geng Zhongming immediately ordered the artillery to fire.
He also asked the signalman to send a telegram to Zhang Pan in the front and Chen Jisheng in the rear.
Let them send out their warships.
They surrounded Zheng Zhilong and his group who were trying to escape from the north and south.
Geng Zhongming and his men had too few 75mm mountain cannons.
So we can only concentrate our strength and try to annihilate one group of enemies.
We'll talk about the enemies on the other side later...
……
"Rumble...Rumble..."
As two shells whistled and flew over at high speed.
In an instant, big holes were blown in two warships.
Not only did the explosion kill or injure many soldiers, but the wooden warship immediately caught fire.
Zheng Zhilong and his men had always used solid shells.
Where have you ever seen such a powerful artillery?
Only then did Zheng Zhilong understand that the rumor that Mao Wenlong and his men possessed magical weapons was not exaggerated at all!
What’s funny is that Zheng Zhilong had done this before.
I always thought it was an exaggerated rumor.
"Rumble..."
Soon two more shells fell.
The other two warships equipped with artillery were blown to pieces.
The red cannon on the ship was also blown away.
Seeing that the enemy’s artillery is so powerful and the firing rate is very fast.
Zheng Zhilong knew it was all over!
This time, let alone winning the battle, it’s even a question whether they can escape!
Zheng Zhilong: "Turn with all your strength and sail south at full speed..."
Zheng Zhilong ordered to escape again.
Then Zheng Zhilong's fleet also fell into chaos.
I thought after completing the turn.
We should be able to escape the enemy's artillery range soon.
As a result, Zheng Zhilong discovered sadly.
There was no way they could escape.
Because after several rounds of continuous shelling.
Geng Zhongming found that the enemy had completely lost their fighting spirit and were only concerned with escaping.
Geng Zhongming immediately ordered to adjust the shooting angle.
They left the ships that were closer to them alone.
Instead, they prioritize attacking the warships that are farthest from them.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
As the shells whistled down.
The warship in the distance was immediately hit and exploded.
Wood chips flew everywhere in the explosion, and some deaths and injuries were minor matters.
The most serious situation was the two warships that were originally on the periphery.
One of them had lost its maneuverability.
It stopped on the sea and did not move.
Although the other ship could still sail, its speed had slowed down a lot!
This way.
The ships on the periphery become obstacles.
So that they could get closer to Geng Zhongming and his warships.
It becomes more difficult to escape...
How to do this?
Zheng Zhilong never expected that he would spend his whole life on the sea.
But today we suffered such a terrible defeat!
"Rumble..."
Amid the violent explosion, Zheng Zhilong was thrown to the deck.
It turned out that Zheng Zhilong's flagship was hit.
Fortunately, Zheng Zhifeng knocked him down.
Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong would most likely be injured...
Zheng Zhilong pushed Zheng Zhifeng away and stood up.
Looking at the warships that were constantly hit by shells on the sea and the soldiers who were constantly dying.
Listening to the screams coming from the soldiers.
Looking at the sea filled with smoke and the chaotic fleet of our own.
Zheng Zhilong discovered his whole life.
No one has ever experienced such a tragic, passive and frustrating naval battle!
Of course.
The only ones who suffered the most were Zheng Zhilong and his men.
The only ones who felt aggrieved were Zheng Zhilong and his men.
Zheng Zhilong looked at the other side's intact fleet
I thought it was over, completely over!
Zheng Zhilong quickly shouted to Zheng Zhifeng: "Immediately find a small boat and take a few trusted people to escape. Hurry, if it's any later we will all die here..."
