Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 300 Angry Zheng Yiguan

Zheng Zhibao looked at the turbulent flames behind him, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Hurry up and speed up, let everyone go to the paddle for me, let me go quickly."

Zheng Zhilong pointed at the people on the boat and shouted, his face was full of panic.

Below the side of the ship, dozens of oars protruded from the holes on both sides.

Dozens of sailors were sitting in the cabin, shaking the oars vigorously.

The speed of the ship also gradually increased under the efforts of these sailors.

Zheng Zhibao held on to the mast of the boat, and shouted in shock: "Don't stop, keep shaking for me."

After a long time, Zheng Zhibao watched the boat get farther and farther away from the flames, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his clothes were all wet with sweat.

The long knife in his hand also fell to the ground because of his trembling hands.

Zheng Zhibao sat slumped on the deck, leaning against the ship's side, panting heavily.

He had never seen such a scene before, more than 200 warships were destroyed one by one by those terrifying weapons like targets.

He raised his trembling hands and shouted to a sailor squatting next to him: "Get me some water, hurry up."

The sailor poked his head out of the side of the ship, glanced at the flames behind him, and breathed a sigh of relief.Then he quickly ran towards the cabin.

After a few breaths, the sailor rushed out with a water hyacinth filled with water and handed it to Zheng Zhibao.

Zheng Zhibao took the water hyacinth, pulled out the cork on it, and poured it with his head raised.

"Grumpy~"

Zheng Zhibao is like a person who is about to die of thirst in the desert, holding a water hyacinth and drinking non-stop.

After a while, Zheng Zhibao put down the water hyacinth in his hand and let out a long breath.

"What kind of weapons are these? Why is it so terrifying? Why can't those flames be extinguished? Can they still burn in water? Why is that?"

Zheng Zhibao leaned against the ship's side, his chest heaving violently, and his face was full of horror and disbelief.

At the same time, Zheng Yiguan stood on the top of the flagship's ship building, and he held up his binoculars and looked ahead.

"I lost, I lost."

Zheng Yiguan looked like a sheep being chased by wild wolves, and his face was full of ferocious colors as he fled towards the returning ship.

"What the hell is going on? How can there be such a terrifying weapon on Phi Island?

A few years ago, there was nothing on Phi Island, except for those mud-legged people who escaped from Liaodong and a few poor soldiers. How can there be such terrifying weapons now?

Where did these weapons come from?Why did it appear on Phi Island?Who built this treasure ship?It is impossible to build a treasure ship with the help of people on Phi Island. Who is the person behind it? "

Zheng Yiguan looked at the fleeing fleet in front of him, his face turned blue and white, and he kept yelling and cursing in a deep voice.

"Brother, it seems that there are only about 50 ships left that we escaped from."

Zheng Zhihu looked at the size of the fleeing ship, his face was full of fear and panic.

Although Zheng Zhihu couldn't see the battlefield ahead clearly with his naked eyes, the rumbling cannons never stopped for a moment.

Coupled with the fire burning above the sea, Zheng Zhihu's heart was beating non-stop.

For such an obvious matter, even if Zheng Zhihu couldn't see clearly the battlefield, he could still guess the result.

"Snapped!"

Zheng Yiguan slapped the side of the ship fiercely, his expression distorted, "Damn it, hate it, more than 200 warships escaped and more than 50 ships returned, and each ship was damaged to varying degrees."

"Give me an order. After withdrawing, let these ships wander around the fleet and keep vigilant. At the same time, let Zheng Zhibao come to see me."

Zheng Yiguan put away the binoculars in his hand, and returned to the cabin with a gloomy expression.

Zheng Zhihu looked at the fleet in front of him, and hurriedly shouted to the messenger beside him: "Did you hear what the boss said just now? Pass the order to me quickly."

The messenger hastily raised the flag in his hand and kept waving it in the direction of Zheng Zhibao.

At this time, Zhao Wen led five treasure ships, lurking behind Phi Island, near a deserted island not far from Phi Island.

When the battle started before, Zhao Wen stood on the top of the ship building, holding up the binoculars and looking in the direction of Phi Island.

However, because his vision was covered by Pidao, Zhao Wen could only see the thick smoke and gunpowder smoke from the weapons, but could not see the entire battlefield.

Now Zhao Wen is standing on the top of the ship building, pointing in the direction of Phi Island, and smilingly said to Qi Qingtian and Zhao Daniu who are standing beside him: "Now that the gunfire has stopped, these pirates should retreat."

Qi Qingtian smiled and said: "This subordinate also thinks so. Your Excellency has deployed more than 107 100 rocket launchers near the No. 100 shipyard, as well as more than 120 40mm mortars, and countless [-] fires. This level of firepower attack, the gods can't stop it, let alone some pirates?"

"Haha, what Mr. Qi said is right, my lord is a fairy-like figure, even if the gods in the sky really come, I will make my lord three points, let alone these pirates.

It's a pity that I didn't see this scene with my own eyes. It's really a pity. "

Zhao Daniu laughed twice, and then looked regretful again.

"It's such a pity. After our fleet leaves, we will let you see it with your own eyes." Zhao Wen held on to the railing on the ship tower and looked towards the direction of Pidao, where the smoke billowed. His face was full of tears. smile.

At this moment, a fast boat sailed out from Phi Island and came towards Zhao Wen at a high speed.

Mao Wenlong stood on the deck in front, his face was full of excitement.

"Enjoyment, enjoyment, I have never fought so happily." Mao Wenlong kept beating the side of the boat and shouting loudly.

After a while, the Clippers stopped under the treasure ship Yangwei where Zhao Wen was.

Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong who was standing on the bow of the Clippers waving towards him, and hurriedly asked someone to lower the gangway.

Mao Wenlong grabbed the lowered gangway and quickly climbed upwards.

Without much effort, Mao Wenlong came to Zhao Wen's side.

Zhao Wen looked at the smiling Mao Wenlong, and joked, "What? You didn't supervise the war well, why did you come to me when you have time?"

Mao Wenlong laughed loudly, "Haha, how can I be used to supervise the war? Zheng Yiguan's vanguard fleet was defeated without even touching our clothes. It's the same without me."

"How's the result?" Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong with anticipation on his face.

Mao Wenlong waved his big hand and said excitedly: "According to rough statistics, more than 150 ships of Zheng Yiguan were sunk and destroyed, including more than 40 large ships."

"Sinking so much? I can't believe it." Zhao Daniu stared at Mao Wenlong in disbelief.

"That's right, that's all. It's a pity that we don't have enough ships, and the seaway is blocked by those destroyed ships. Otherwise, I have to command the ships to go out and catch up."

When Mao Wenlong thought of the previous battle, his eyes lit up.

"I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a battle that can be fought like this.

I've heard others talk about naval battles before, and they basically use the artillery on the ship to bombard a few rounds first, and then engage in boarding battles and team-jumping battles.

Today's battle directly refreshed my views on naval warfare. "

Zhao Wen looked at the excited Mao Wenlong and said with a smile, "How are Zheng Yiguan and the others doing now? Is there any movement?"

"There was no movement, the fleeing ships were all quietly surrounding Zheng Yiguan's fleet. And Zheng Yiguan's fleet didn't move, just stayed there quietly, neither leaving nor retreating.

I reckoned that Zheng Yiguan must not be holding back in his heart.He has never suffered such a big loss in all the years he has traversed the ocean. Now that he has suffered a big loss at our hands, he will definitely not let it go. "

Mao Wenlong let out a long breath, looked in the direction of Pi Dao, and expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Wen patted the railing above the ship building, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "Today, he has to eat as much as he eats, and he has to eat as much as he doesn't eat, it's not up to him.

By the way, have you rescued those pirates who fell into the water? "

Mao Wenlong was taken aback, he looked at Zhao Wen, his face was full of doubts, "What are you saving them for? Rescuing these pirates will hardly do us any good, not to mention wasting food, but we must also be wary of these people causing trouble."

"These people are of great use to me, you just need to save them."

Now that Xuan Town is preparing to lay the railway, these pirates have been at sea all year round, and they are all strong and strong men, so they are perfect for laying the railway.

"If that's the case, then I'll let them rescue these pirates who fell into the water." Although Mao Wenlong didn't know Zhao Wen's purpose in saving these pirates, he didn't ask any more after hearing Zhao Wen said that it would be of great use.

"By the way, when are these treasure ships going to attack? Now that Zheng Yiguan's morale is extremely low, how about taking advantage of this time to knock them down?" Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up, pointing at the treasure ships near this sea area, eager to say.

Zhao Wen shook his head and replied: "Now is not the time. Based on what you said just now, Zheng Yiguan's troops have not retreated or attacked, which proves that Zheng Yiguan still wants to attack Phi Island.

Now Zheng Yiguan still has more than 650 ships in his hands. With such a large number, if Zheng Yiguan intends to die, we may not be able to stop them.

So, just wait and see what Zheng Yiguan wants to do next. "

Mao Wenlong nodded, and then said: "Then I'll go back first."

"Well, you go first, remember, if there is any emergency, you must notify me as soon as possible."

……

When Mao Wenlong returned to Phi Island, he asked some of his men to drive sea boats to rescue the pirates who fell into the water.

The pirates who fell into the water watched Mao Wenlong send a sea boat to rescue them, and they kept swimming towards Phi Island.

No one wants to die, and these pirates don't want to soak in the sea and end up drowning.

When the sun went down to sea level, Mao Wenlong had rescued almost 500 people from the sea.

Except for these more than 500 people, the other pirates have basically died at the bottom of the sea.

When Mao Wenlong sent a ship to rescue the pirates who fell into the water, Zheng Yiguan sat in the cabin of the flagship, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

Zheng Zhibao knelt in front of Zheng Yiguan, crying and howling, "Brother, it's not that I don't live up to it, the firepower on Phi Island is too fierce, we can't get close at all.

I don't know what kind of weapon it is, it's so powerful that people can't believe it.Those small warships that could only carry a dozen people were instantly blown to pieces by these shells, and the people on board didn't even have time to react.

There are also those horrible will-o'-the-wisps, which cannot be extinguished when they burn, and they can still burn even if they fall into the sea water. "

"Okay, I know this has little to do with you, you should get up first, how old are you, and what do you look like crying?" Zheng Yiguan looked at Zheng Zhibao, who was kneeling on the ground, crying nonstop, and said in a deep voice .

Zheng Zhibao wiped away the tears and snot from his face, stood up with Zheng Zhihu's support, and sat on the chairs on both sides of the cabin.

The cabin is not big, and it looks overcrowded with only a dozen or so people seated.

Listening to Zheng Zhibao's cries, the people in the cabin fell into silence one by one, and the atmosphere in the cabin was extremely depressed.

Zheng Yiguan turned the jade finger on his right hand, the expression on his face changed again and again.

After a few minutes of silence, Zheng Yiguan finally spoke.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it."

The people in the cabin looked at me and I looked at you, but still no one spoke.

The battle that happened today was what they witnessed with their own eyes. This kind of tragic naval battle was something they had never encountered before.

Even when fighting Hongyi and Flangji, this scene has never happened before.

"Boss, I think we should retreat. Judging from today's battle, we can prove that this island is not something we can take down. I think it's better for us to leave early."

A big black-faced man looked at the silent crowd, stood up suddenly, and said to Zheng Yiguan.

"Yes, I think so too. We lost 150 ships in today's battle, and this is 150 ships.

In the past, although we also lost battles, we have never suffered a loss like today.

I lost so much in just one day, and if I continue to consume it, I am afraid that I will lose even more. "

After the black-faced man finished speaking, a man in bunt with two thick arms stood up and spoke.

"Yeah, the two principals are right, we can't go on like this."

"That's right, that's right, let's evacuate quickly. People who can build treasure ships must be stubborn, and we are not opponents."

For a while, discussions arose in the entire cabin.

Zheng Yiguan listened to everyone's discussion, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

"Snapped!"

Zheng Yiguan slapped the table, and shouted angrily: "Just go back like this? Where will I save my face in the future?
Believe it or not, as long as we go back in such a desperate state, this matter will quickly spread throughout the ocean.

How will we maintain our authority at sea in the future?Can those Hongyi and Frangji people still behave in their own way?

These shameless savages will certainly not miss this great opportunity.

We have had a grudge with them for a long time, and they will definitely raise their troops to attack. "
