"How many warships does the other party have, but those Ruan's bastards?" Zheng Jiu spat out the betel nuts in his mouth, and asked nervously as he walked out.

"A total of eighteen warships."

"How many?"

"Eighteen ships!" The soldiers who came to report emphasized again.

"Eighteen ships!? Is Ruan Fuyuan crazy? Eighteen ships dare to come here to act wild?" Zheng Jiu stopped in his tracks, with a look of incredulity on his face.

"General, those warships are a bit weird, they don't look like Ruan Fuyuan's navy."

"What's weird?"

"It just... looks very powerful."

"How powerful?"

"I can't describe it, but they only dispatched one ship, and easily destroyed our five warships in a short time."

"A warship."

"Yes General!"

"Easy and easy to destroy our five warships in a moment?"

"Yes General!"

"Fuck you!" Zheng Jiu kicked the soldier in the stomach. "Do you think I'm stupid? One ship sinks five ships in an instant, street fight? Martial arts master? One Yang finger?"

Zheng Jiu, who loves to listen to books, cursed at the soldier who was kicked to the ground by him.

Although he got to this point by relying on relationships, he has been abusive in naval warfare for many years and knows very well about naval warfare.

Naval battles are different from land battles, and there are too many uncertain factors. Take artillery as an example, the speed of ships in sailing, and the ups and downs of ships will all affect the accuracy of shooting.

And even if it hits a warship all the way, it doesn't necessarily mean that the warship will lose its combat power immediately.To put it bluntly, there must be a process for sinking in the middle of the hull.As the messenger said, it was easy, and five warships were sunk in a short time.

How close are the two sides?

How many guns are on board?

Even the largest and most advanced artillery in the Netherlands would not be able to achieve this level.

Seeing that Zheng Jiu was furious, the others lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Tell the truth! What's going on?"

Looking at the soldier kneeling on the ground clutching his stomach, Zheng Jiu asked again in a cold voice.

"General, what my subordinates said is not a half-truth, their warships are really powerful! The general will know when he goes to the port!"

"Hey! You really are a tough guy!"

Zheng Jiu sneered, ignored the soldiers reporting the news, turned around and walked towards the pier.

After a while, he came to the seaside, boarded the tower in charge of looking out, picked up a single-lens telescope and looked towards the sea.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, he saw the First Fleet sailing on the sea at a glance.

"what?"

Zheng Jiu was startled, what kind of ship is this?

This line, this size!

And two chimneys!

It looks great!

Isn't there a window reserved for shelling in the hull?

Don't you have any sails?

Damn it, fire it!

He saw where the opponent's artillery was, all on the deck.

Under Zheng Jiu's gaze, the main guns and secondary guns on the Yongping ship fired together, sinking a warship that was trying to approach.

Now he could see clearly that the shells fired by the opponent were not simple projectiles, but extremely powerful explosive shells. A concentrated shell blasted a large hole several meters in diameter on the wooden hull of their warship. It was poured in in an instant, and the hull soon began to tilt.

It really is amazing.

It seems that this is not the biggest, what if they all attack?

"Put the semaphore and ask their intentions!"

Zheng Jiu didn't bother to observe any more, and gave an order to the officer accompanying him.

"General, keep fighting! But as long as you get close, you will be attacked by them!"

"Where did this fleet come from! What do you want to do!?"

"General! A few days ago, I heard a Dutchman say that Daming has a small steel fleet that is invincible at sea! Is this one of them?"

"Da Ming!?" Zheng Jiu suddenly remembered.

He also heard about this, saying that the seven warships of the Ming Dynasty defeated the Spaniards and forced them to abandon the entire Luzon.

At that time, he thought it was just talking nonsense.

But when these warships came before his eyes, he had to believe it.

"Don't they understand the semaphore? Daming and we have always been in harmony with each other! Why did you suddenly send troops to attack? There must be some misunderstanding! Send ships to investigate quickly! Remember! Hang up the white flag!! !"

"Yes, General!"

The officer got the order and immediately conveyed Zheng Jiu's order.

The warship docked at the pier sailed out again, hoisting a white flag and marching towards the other side.

"Master! The other side has a warship with a white flag approaching us!" Lu Shiyan shouted.

"I saw it, sink it!"

"Yes!"

Lu Shiyan was very excited.

This battle was enjoyable, and the opponent's port was getting closer and closer at this time. If it wasn't for the accuracy and landing, it would have been possible to launch a full-scale attack.

The Yongping warship at the front attacked again, and the shells roared and concentrated on the Zheng's warship with the white flag.

Zheng Jiu's face was extremely ugly.

No matter how he felt, the other party didn't look like he was here to have a good talk.

That being the case, there is no need to be cowardly.

"Give me an order to dispatch all warships and soldiers, regardless of whether they belong to Da Ming or Xiao Ming, today we will fight them to the death!"

Zheng Jiu didn't know what he was about to face. Although he knew that there was a huge gap between the warships of the two sides, he still chose to attack with the whole army.

Attempts to rely on quantitative advantages to make up for the gap in quality.

All the warships that had already been ready for battle were dispatched under his command, shouting loudly.

The originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds at some point, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

"Supervisor, the other party has dispatched."

"Well, let's start. Don't hold your hand!" Xie Xuelong put down the binoculars and held onto the side of the boat.

Under his command, the warships of the First Fleet entered a combat state and began to adjust their direction, looking for a suitable shooting angle.

This time, they didn't hold back.

Under Lu Shiyan's order, the large and small gun barrels on the seven warships fired at the same time, and the large and small shells roared towards the opponent's warship.

At the same time, thunder began to sound in the sky.In an instant, the pouring rain fell.

Xie Xuelong, who was dressed in military uniform, was soon wet.

But he didn't seem to care, his eyes were fixed on the warship that the opponent was desperately trying to get close to.

From time to time, the thunder and cannon echoed in the sky.

Zheng's warship also started to launch a counterattack, but the distance was too far, and the weather was bad, so the accuracy was impressive.

There are only sporadic shells on the ship of the First Fleet, but they are as useless as a stone hitting a big iron gate.

This battle, which was already disparate in strength, was overwhelming from the very beginning.

On the other hand, Zheng Jiu, who was watching the battle from the shore, could hardly support the female wall in front of him because his legs were weak.
