why?

That was the only question that came to his mind.

Why are the firepower of these warships so fierce?

Why are the defenses of these warships so strong?

Why can these warships made of steel float on the water?

In a very short period of time, too many things that he thought were unreasonable appeared in his mind.

There are more than 40 warships under his command, and some of them are usually large sailing ships bought from the Netherlands at a high price.He vaguely remembered the distressed expression on the generalissimo's face when he asked for funds from the generalissimo, and the expression on the face of the Dutch bragging about how advanced their warships were.It's only been three or four years until now, right?

Is the world changing so fast?

Is this big neighbor of mine going to rule the world like he did when he was young?

He watched warships being hit one after another, and the imposing shouts of his own soldiers turned into screams and cries.

"Surrender! Surrender!"

Can't fight anymore.

It's not a contest on the same level, how a toddler beats a able-bodied adult.

Surrender, it seems that some strength can be preserved.

Maybe there is really a misunderstanding between the two sides?

Zheng Jiu thought about it by luck.

But it didn't take long for his last trace of luck to disappear.

The other party ignored the white flags they hung up, the artillery continued to swallow fire, and the battle continued, just like a torrential rain from the sky sprinkled on the body of one's own ship.

There are fewer and fewer warships.

28, 27, 26, 25...

There were fewer and fewer warships that could operate normally, and some warships began to try to turn around and escape.

But this is their doorstep, where can they run to?

The battle went fairly well for the First Fleet.

The swarming charge of the other party happened to hit their muzzle.

The distance between Zheng's warships was too small, and they were too close, so the hit rate was greatly guaranteed.

Moreover, in terms of the power of the artillery shells of the First Fleet, as long as they are hit critically, there is only one possibility of sinking the ship, and there is absolutely no possibility of surviving.

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

Zheng Jiu, who had never experienced such a scene, murmured.

But no one seemed to hear anything, and stared at the sea in a daze.Or maybe he heard it, but he also didn't know how to answer it.

The most unacceptable thing for them is the transfer of the battle field.

The warships on their side tried to escape, and all of them turned their bows and rushed towards the crazy shore.

As a result, one side ran and the other chased, getting closer and closer to the shore.

This is, Zheng Jiu decided to make a final struggle.

"Notify the artillerymen on the shore! Fire at the opponent!"

Due to the important location of the estuary of the Taojiang River, there are fortresses built on both sides, and each has more than [-] artillery pieces, in order to prevent other troops from attacking from the water one day.

In terms of the current situation, Fang's are those guys from the Ruan family.

But I didn't expect to meet such a group of difficult guys.

No, an irresistible guy.

He intended to use the artillery on the shore to give some boost to his fleet, but he forgot one of the most important factors.

That is the weather.

At this time, the torrential rain was pouring, and even if the soldiers held torches and umbrellas, very few shells could be fired successfully.

The already fearless First Fleet became even more unscrupulous.Parked on the sea one mile away from the port, it frantically exported to the ships in the port.

There were not many warships that had just entered the battle, but the First Fleet had no intention of stopping, and aimed its guns at every ship that seemed to have combat effectiveness.

"Shiyan, stop for a moment. Don't attack merchant ships." After accidentally injuring several merchant ships, Xie Xuelong ordered the artillery fire to stop.

"Yes, Supervisor."

Xie Xuelong stood in the wind and rain, glanced at the other side's fortress, and once again ordered Lu Shiyan:

"Bombard the opponent's fortress and prepare for the landing of the army!"

Seeing the opponent's artillery fire stop, Zheng Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

Is it because the other party has finished venting their anger and is ready to negotiate next?

But it turned out that he was thinking too much, because the opponent's muzzle began to turn, which direction?

"retreat!"

Zheng Jiu yelled, turned around and ran back.

Just after running not far, a shell hit the city wall not far from him.

The huge air wave knocked him to the ground, Zheng Jiu felt that he was lifted by a huge force, and then he heard the shouts of the soldiers around him, and then lost consciousness.

In order to clear the obstacles for the army about to land, the First Fleet launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the buildings on the shore.

Both soldiers and civilians fled in panic.

As for resistance, there is none at all.

By the time everything calmed down, it was already an hour after the battle started.

The rain stopped, the sky cleared up, the troop carrier began to dock, and Xu Zhi'an began to direct the soldiers of the Beijing camp to land.

The soldiers who disembarked first immediately dispersed to take charge of vigilance, and then groups of soldiers set foot on land in an orderly manner.

Two hours later, all soldiers and supplies landed on land.

Xu Zhi'an heaved a sigh of relief. Next, it was time for them to play.

"General Xu, Zheng Zhilong's fleet will arrive in a few days. Next, we are going to stop at the port of Guangxi for supplies. Next, I will leave it to General Xu! If you need support, please report to His Majesty as soon as possible. .”

Xie Xuelong stood by the pier and said solemnly to Xu Zhian.

"Don't worry, Supervisor, you can always trust the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp!" Xu Zhi'an said confidently.

"it is good!"

Xie Xuelong didn't say any more, Jingying is an expert in fighting on land, so he doesn't need to point fingers.

After the two sides bid farewell, Xie Xuelong left Jiaozhi with the fleet and troop carrier.

After Xu Zhi'an made some adjustments, he led the army to an open place to station.Next, they will go all the way upstream along the Taojiang River, head northwest, and go straight to Shenglong.

That night, Yin Guoding received the news that Xu Zhian had landed.

He hurriedly found Ma Xianglin and Mu Tianbo, and told them the news.

"Okay! Let's hurry up! Yin Qianhu, how is Xu Zhi'an's leadership skills? Will he take down Shenglong before us?" Mu Tianbo curiously asked about Xu Zhi'an's news.

He has never been to the capital, and he has rarely heard of the nobles in the capital, let alone know them.

"My lord, Xing'an Bo is not something I can evaluate casually." Yin Guoding said with a smile.

"Hey. There are no outsiders here. Brother Xianglin and I are absolutely tight-lipped. Right, Brother Xianglin."

Ma Xianglin also nodded, he was also very curious about the kind of person entrusted by His Majesty with important tasks.

"Xing'anbo is a hereditary nobleman. When His Majesty was not enthroned, he held a position in the Beijing camp. He looks no different from other nobles. If you want to say something different, he never bullies People who are weaker than him will occasionally stop Xungui who bullies the people, so his reputation has always been good.

It wasn't until His Majesty rectified the Beijing camp that his ability to lead the army came to the fore. "
