Beiyang new warlord

His face was flushed with anger, Gan Hui was about to charge up like a bull, but Zheng Sen suddenly turned around and blocked him with his right hand, full of astonishment, he clasped his fists and shouted in surprise.

While he was staring in astonishment, Zheng Sen couldn't help but grinned sullenly: "I'll do it myself!"

hum~

I had practiced knife-drawing in Japan, and no one saw how Zheng Sen drew the knife. The thin bamboo beef jerky felt cold on his feet, and then came the severe pain. Holding his blood-spitting broken foot, he was miserable Cried and sat on the ground.

On the other side, Da Panzi's face became dull, and for a full second or two, under the impact of huge blood pressure, his round head simply flew up with a bang.

No one expected that this boy in his early twenties would be so vicious, and after a few seconds of astonishment, someone pointed at Zheng Sen, who was wielding a saber, and screamed: "This bastard killed my brother! Fuck him!"

With a yell, two or three hundred pirates rushed towards Zheng Sen like a volcano erupting.

The tip of the knife was dragged on the beach, and the eldest son of the Zheng family seemed to have opened Wushuang, roaring and rushing into the crowd.

The shrill screams even disturbed the beach. More and more pirates approached, watching a silver light criss-crossing the crowd in disbelief. Wherever the light of the knife flickered, there must be blood flying, broken arms, and broken bones. The two bands of pirates on the thighs held their wounds and screamed with all their strength, and most of them were dead on the spot. I don't know if these pirates were too useless, but he hacked to death a dozen at random.

"Fuck your grandma!"

In the distance, a bald pirate raised his flintlock and cursed angrily. Before the trigger was fired, it rang out with a bang. Holding the smoking wheel, Shi Daxuan also tilted his head viciously. Tu Xinzi scolded like that: "Who dares to try again!"

During the Jiajing period, 54 Japanese pirates defeated tens of thousands of Ming troops and almost captured Nanjing. Zheng Sen, who had been trained as a samurai since childhood, was regarded as an enhanced version of the Japanese pirates. He killed him, and no one dared to fight him again. A group of bad pirates from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads tremblingly.

He didn't even bother to cut them, turned around, Zheng Sen ran towards the thin bamboo beef jerky with a gloomy expression, looking at the blood dripping down from his knife, this guy completely lost the arrogance just now, Holding the broken foot like a little girl who was molested, shouting timidly.

"You, don't come here, my uncle is a shareholder of the East India Company..."

puff~

There was no need to wait for him to finish talking, his head had already been chopped off by Zheng Sen, and Zheng Sen roared coldly to the pirates watching.

"Look clearly! I'm Zheng Sen! This time the leader of the treasure robbery ship!"

No matter how the pirates change, the fist is still the same principle. They are dedicated to pick things up, picking hard bones to do it. In just one day, with his men, Zheng Sen killed a full 80 NO.[-]. At the price of blood, Dozens of hundreds of pirates finally gathered together.

The night was dark, but the roar of the grinning pirates on the beach was extinguished. The captain of Dozens fearfully surrounded a huge fire, holding a samurai sword in hand, while Zheng Sen was brushing on the sand.

"Westerners have sharp artillery fire and have experienced sea battles. If we want to destroy the treasure transport fleet, we have to listen to Lao Tzu, so we will deploy like this!"

.........

There is a kind of person who is born handsome and can become the hero Zheng Chenggong in history. Zheng Sen is exactly this kind of person. In the remaining two days, the scattered pirate fleet has finally formed a shape in his hands. All ships He was divided into three teams in total, among which the bow and stern were equipped with guns, and the firepower was the weakest, but the relatively light Fuchuan Guangchuan was organized into the first team, responsible for provocations, and all the three-masted standard Dongjiang gunboats were in the second The team stretched in a row along the Strait of Malacca. When the Spanish treasure ship was attracted and chased over, the team rushed straight past the treasure ship and fired violently on the side.

The third team is Zheng Zhilong's old subordinates, arranged in a diamond formation, starting from Manlajia, facing the enemy head-on, approaching the opponent's fleet, and giving them a fatal blow.

Not to mention, commanding an army of tens of thousands and hundreds of warships is really refreshing, even though you know that after the treasure ship is snatched, the temporary pirate alliance will blow up, and you may also be suspected by the company's board of directors, but a Stepping on the bow of the bronze seahorse, leaning on the knife, looking at the vast sea, Zheng Sen is still full of vigor.

This is the taste of power!A man should be like this!

In his squinting eyes, a dozen centipede-like reconnaissance pedal boats appeared in sight, and a dozen red flags were flying rapidly.

The Spanish galleon full of treasures is here!

Chapter 654. Don't give it away! Don't give it away!

The unsatisfactory person in the world is nine out of ten! Zheng Sen, who has just debuted, has experienced the most vividly. Looking at the news from the outpost sandboat, before the joy appeared on his face, the creaking sound of pulling the mast and raising the sail suddenly It sounded right next to his ears. Looking through his unbelievable telescope, the formation that was finally formed yesterday was messed up immediately!

Using an animal to describe these pirates is like wild dogs seeing poop, scrambling to sail out to sea, and the narrow exit of the Strait of Malacca is instantly covered by a forest of sails.

Zheng Sen's face had turned completely liver-colored, and he angrily smashed the telescope to the ground.

"Master, what shall we do?"

Looking at the swarming pirate fleet, even Zheng Zhilong's former subordinates were ready to move, and there was also the sound of hoisting sails behind him, but the more than 30 ships hadn't moved for the time being.

Hearing the sound of the wind lock, the first mate Shi Daxuan clasped his fists anxiously and asked.

With his hands behind his back, he turned two circles in a row like ants on a hot pot, and looked back at the former Zheng family members who were eager to try. Finally, Zheng Sen gritted his teeth fiercely, and shouted in a deep voice: "We also Anchor! Follow!"

"However, let people tell those bastards in the back, listen to Lao Tzu's orders before going up, if you don't obey the orders and then charge in vain, then don't hang up the banner of my Zheng family in the future!"

"Little one obeys!"

In history, Zheng Sen was known as the strictest military commander. Hearing his murderous roar, Shi Daxuan hurriedly knelt down on one knee to accept orders, then quickly stood up again, picked up a big red flag himself, and slammed shaking.

Following his semaphore, the three-masted and five-masted Dongjiang warships also pulled out the heavy anchors from the sea with iron chains. With the horns of the three warships in front soaring into the sky, the last pirate fleet of the Ming Dynasty also rushed out of the narrow sea. the Straits of Malacca.

The ancient Roman philosophers have a famous saying that sea battles can ruin your whole day! They are talking about the length of sea battles. After sailing from Malacca, the huge pirate fleet ran for three hours. It was almost noon. The fringes of the Nazna Islands blocked the vast fleet of Spanish treasure ships.

It is huge, but it is only relatively speaking. Eight Spanish galleons are used as escorts. Each of them is about 50 meters long and equipped with 48 artillery pieces. Behind them is a merchant ship with a slightly larger belly. The tonnage is slightly larger than that of the escort warships outside. , There are about twenty of them, and these are loaded with gold and diamonds from the Americas, but they are said to be merchant ships, and they also have the combat effectiveness of [-] to [-] artillery pieces.

But such a heavy fleet, which is enough to sail sideways in Europe, still looks a bit thin compared to the swarming pirates of Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, a fleet appeared from a slanting stab in front of him. These treasure ship fleets that were marching along the edge of the archipelago were obviously taken aback. Suddenly, there was a sharp howl, and the outer frigates rushed to the sidelines. , almost in the same way as Mao Jue's fight against the Japanese fleet, the dark muzzle of the gun was directed outward.

The fastest runners are actually those old Cantonese ships and Fuzhou ships. Although the rigging is required, the Dongjiang sail battleship with the triangular sail is more advanced, but the operation of these sails also requires some technical content, not those The pirate sailors who had just made a fortune and bought new ships could completely control them, and compared with the new sailing ships with thirty or forty guns, these old ships had two or three front and rear cannons, which made them much lighter in weight.

Eyes full of longing for treasure, groups of pirate sailors gathered on the front deck of Fuchuan Guangchuan full of sails, banging on shields and shouting, the sharp bow cut open the sea, dozens of The big ship rammed forward fiercely like a narwhal.

But the imposing manner could not change the inferiority of wood to steel shells. When these pirate ships rushed to the range of more than 400 meters majestically, the frigates of the Spanish treasure fleet sprayed tongues of flames outwards, and more than 200 heavy guns were fired at densely in an instant. There was a rain of sawdust and iron in the pirate fleet.

Just over 70 years ago, a cross-age naval battle broke out in the western Mediterranean, the Battle of Lepanto! This battle represented the Christian world, with Spanish mercenaries and the Venetian Genoese navy as the main force. After expanding for a century, the murderous Ottoman Turkish navy of 5000 people was defeated in that battle, losing one-third of the ships and killing more than [-] people. All dyed red.

The secret of Christians being able to win more with less lies in the use of artillery. Each ship is equipped with several artillery pieces. As the vanguard, it is a Genoese heavy warship. It is said that it is more than 70 meters long, enough to carry more than 1000 artillery pieces and more than [-] sailors. super galley.

What happened to the pirates of the Ming Dynasty today is almost exactly the same as that of the Ottoman Turkish fleet back then. During the extension of the artillery fire, more than [-] Fuchuan ships were smashed on the spot. Holding on to the raised deck, they groaned in pain, and even two ships fell apart directly, and the debris was scattered on the huge sea.

But even so, there is still no stopping the charging pirate ship. On the one hand, the temptation of gold is close at hand, on the other hand, there is no way to retreat, mixed in the torrent of the huge fleet, it doesn't mean that you can turn around if you can.

The artillery fire at the bow also started sporadic bombardment.

At a distance of 400 meters, it takes a few minutes for the battleship to sprint, but the artillery fire is enough to blast three rounds. The outer sides of the eight frigates have hardly stopped. Shengsheng was blasted into a ship cemetery by them.

However, after losing more than 3000 pirate ships and killing or injuring two to [-] people, the first lucky boat still slammed into the side of the frigate with a bang. The pirates howled with flintlock guns and tomahawks and jumped off the ship's railings, jumping onto the deck of the opponent for a decisive battle.

bang~bang~

Fierce white smoke drew traces, and the Spanish sailors slammed the trigger, retaliated with matchlock guns and short-fired blunderbusses, several charging pirates burst out bloody holes, and immediately collapsed fell to the ground.

Just when the battle at the front was fierce, the South China Sea pirates from the second team who bought Dongjiang's new sailing battleships and put their names under the command of the East India Company, who were a little early in the industry, also rushed to the battlefield. After a while, these slender warships penetrated through the flanks like a loach, and rushed towards the merchant ship wrapped by the frigate.

From such a distance, you can almost hear the terrified screams of the Spanish merchants. These merchant ships also fired without hesitation. The distance is about 100 meters. The two gunboats, which are slightly different in shape but surprisingly similar in performance, launched a fierce battle. Right to the bang, the crackling artillery shells exploded and released patches of white smoke, several meters of water jets splashed on the sides of each other's warships one after another, and the two closest pirate ships and treasure ships were even less than 30 meters away. The bombardment dealt a devastating blow to both sides. As the wood shattered, the gun decks of both sides were pierced by the gunfire. The shells pushed the cannons, boxes, and the sailor's stumps were ejected from the other side of the ship. The surviving sailors can even wash the faces of the enemies facing them in fear.

But the pirate ship was crowded after all, and it still had the absolute upper hand. A long line of sailing battleships rolled over one by one, like a chameleon's tongue, gradually wrapping the Spanish treasure ship fleet in the center.

"Eldest son, let's go too! If you don't go up, you won't have a chance!"
