Da Ming started to ascend the throne

The Wendi suddenly turned its rudder, and 24 naval guns fired a salvo, which immediately smashed the two red-haired sailors into pieces.

Just as Huang Fei wanted to order the Chongzhen to bombard again, he suddenly found that the target had been smashed to pieces. Following the sound of the guns, he saw Shi Lang looking at him with a proud face.

Huang Fei was speechless and could only make a gesture to Shi Lang.

The distance between the two warships was a bit far, Shi Lang didn't see Huang Fei's hand gesture clearly, and hurriedly raised his binoculars to look at Huang Fei with a smile.

It turned out that one of Huang Fei's middle fingers appeared in the telescope, and he even waved it at Shi Lang.

After the cannon sacrifice, Zheng Chenggong gave an order:

"Order to leave [-] warships at Liuluo Bay, ready to supply the frontline warships at any time.

All armored warships are in front, and sail warships are behind, sending troops to Taiwan's main island. "

"Yes"

Ming warships don't need semaphore, each of their warships is equipped with a walkie-talkie, which makes commanding much more convenient.

Thirty warships immediately braved the wind and waves to sail to the main island of Taiwan.

However, just over an hour after the fleet advanced, the sea surface suddenly turned up with huge waves, and the sky was also full of strong winds.

The sails of the sailing battleship would be blown off by the storm, and the battleship could hardly move forward.

All the sailing warships shook violently up and down on the sea surface, like a small leaf floating in a violent storm.

Ironclad battleships are not a big problem, they are not only huge, but also heavy.

Without sails to keep out the wind, the ironclad battleship can rely on power to continue moving forward, even so the giant ship is bumping up and down in the huge waves.

The soldiers on the deck of the battleship had all gone into the cabin of the battleship to take shelter when the wind blew up.

Seeing the typhoon approaching suddenly, Shi Lang cursed angrily:

"Nimma, you really shouldn't sacrifice cannons with red-haired pans. It turns out that the sea god doesn't like such ugly sacrifices."

If you want to regain Taiwan, crossing the Taiwan Strait safely is only the first step, and the next landing battle will be even more difficult.

In any case, Ming must take Taiwan, and then use Taiwan as a base to march towards Southeast Asia and Malacca.

If a small typhoon can prevent Ming from recovering Taiwan, how can we talk about conquering Southeast Asia and marching into Malacca.

In fact, based on Zheng Chenggong's experience, it is completely possible to avoid sending troops to Taiwan in such an environment.

But this time the typhoon came too fast, so we could only judge based on experience.

Unlike we now have satellite cloud image analysis reference, this is not Zheng Chenggong's fault.

This batch of Daming Navy is all elite, and it was decided not to cause serious non-combat attrition, which would cause the Daming Navy to suffer heavy losses.

Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the emperor, let alone marrying the princess, I may lose my life.

Zheng Chenggong's gaze became more and more resolute. After making up his mind, he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and ordered:

"Zheng Hongkui listened to the order and must lead all the sailing warships to immediately return to Liuluo Bay to take shelter from the wind. When the typhoon stops, immediately send troops to support us. There must be no mistakes!"

Zheng Hongkui is Zheng Chenggong's uncle and the commander of the sailing warship.

As an experienced pirate, he was very clear about the situation in front of him, and he knew that if he took a risk, the whole army might be wiped out.

"Yes, governor, don't worry, I will immediately lead the sailing warship back to Liuluo Bay, and you all have to come back together. Don't take any risks. The emperor didn't set a specific time." Recommended reading../../

"I know what to do and execute the order."

"Yes"

He was also concerned about Zheng Chenggong and worried about his nephew's accident.

Of course Zheng Chenggong knew that his uncle cared about him, but he had already seen that there was nothing wrong with the iron-clad battleship.

The typhoon doesn't have a great impact on their iron-clad battleships now, but it has a fatal impact on Hong Maofan's sailing warships.

The Ming army can take the opportunity to wipe out the Hongmaofan fleet in one fell swoop.

"Order, the iron-clad warships quickly pass through the Taiwan Strait and attack the red-haired fleet."

Chapter 384

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and eleven armored warships braved the wind and waves and began to advance.

Huge waves hit the battleship, splashing five or six-meter-high waves, and seawater was everywhere on the deck.

Although it is a thousand-ton giant ship, it still bumps up and down in a huge storm.

The sailors have all experienced typhoons and know very well about warships. They grabbed the handrails and talked and laughed.

But some members of the Longqi Special Forces began to vomit, some of them couldn't bear the huge ship's turbulence.

Why do you say that some of the Longqi Special Forces took the boat, because those who got seasick were all elites drawn from the Longteng Army.

They are all elite soldiers under Yuan Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu, and they came after Yue Fei's long-term special training.

However, most of the Dragon Banner Special Forces members were drawn from Qi Family Army Xuan, Armored Cavalry, Shenji Battalion, and Qin Army.

These people are summoners, not to mention encountering a small typhoon, even if the sky falls, they will not change their expressions.

In the past, when they were in a decisive battle with the Eight Banners Soldiers captured by the East, they didn't even frown when the opponent's saber slashed at them.Mobile terminal../

As long as they don't die, they still slash and kill with their knives. The so-called invincible Dong captive Eight Banners are frightened by them.

Now the flagship of the Daming Armored Battleship Fleet is the Hongwu, and the command cabin of the Hongwu is full of talents.

Not only Zheng Chenggong, the commander of the Daming Navy, was holding the command center, but also three senior generals and several lieutenants of the Longqi Special Forces were sitting beside him.

Warships driven by steam engines save a lot of operating soldiers. In bad weather, they only need to stay in the cabin.

However, sail warships must require many sailors to operate the sails, and once there is no wind or the wind is weak, sailors must rely on sailors to sail.

Looking at the raging storm and huge waves outside, the commanders of the special forces on the Hongwu had serious expressions on their faces. They were worried that the giant ship would be overturned by huge waves at any time.

But Zheng Chenggong is not worried, he is still comforting Yan Yingyuan, Li Dingguo and others:

"Don't worry, the three generals. The ironclad battleship has no sails or masts. The area exposed to the wind is very small, so it can completely resist such a strong typhoon."

The three of them bowed their hands to Zheng Chenggong:

"I hope so, but the wobble really scares us."
