Chapter 304 The Treasure Ship Appears

Zhao Wen held up the binoculars and looked at the fleet that was getting closer and closer, his face gradually became silent.

Zheng Yiguan's fleet at the rear has almost 200 ships, and now these 200 ships are rushing towards the treasure ship like ants.

Taking advantage of the wind, Zheng Yiguan's fleet is getting faster and faster, and the distance between them and the treasure ship is getting closer.

Zhao Wen looked at the fleet that was less than three miles away from him, waved his hand, and shouted: "Fire!"

Zhao Daniu stood beside Zhao Wen, roaring and passing on Zhao Wen's order.

The messengers on the ship tower quickly ran towards the lower deck of the Yangwei treasure ship, passing Zhao Wen's order to the gunners below.

The flag bearer standing on the watchtower waved the flag in his hand, and passed Zhao Wen's order to the other treasure ships.

After a dozen or so breaths, the weapons on Yangwei opened fire first.

The soldier standing by the side of the ship and manipulating the launcher slammed down on the ignition device.

"Chila, chila, chila."

In an instant, the eight launchers beside the side of the ship roared like splashing water, and the 107 rockets rushed towards the fleet ahead with a whistling sound.

Thick gunpowder smoke immediately filled the deck of the treasure ship, and the tail flame produced by the 107 rocket launch sprayed on the deck wrapped in steel and cement.

In addition to the 107 rockets, the 120mm mortar on the deck also fired shells weighing more than 30 kilograms.

The 40 fires at the gun windows below the ship's side also headed towards Zheng Yiguan's fleet with a whistling sound.

All of a sudden, all kinds of weapons poured down towards Zheng Yiguan's fleet like rain.

Zheng Yiguan looked at the roaring rockets, his face changed drastically, "There are such weapons on this treasure ship? Where did you get so many such terrifying weapons?"

Zheng Yiguan pointed to Zhao Wen's five treasure ships, his face full of disbelief and horror.

Not long after the Yangwei fired, the other four treasure ships also poured the ammunition on the treasure ship towards Zheng Yiguan's fleet.

Like an iron curtain, weapons and ammunition shrouded the sea in front of the treasure ship.

Zheng Yiguan's ship hadn't traveled much distance before it was saturated by the treasure ship.

A round of shells fell into the waters of Zheng Yiguan's fleet with a whistling sound.

The water curtain set off by the explosion was more than ten meters high, and some small boats that could only accommodate a dozen people swayed in the water curtain and ripples.

Weapons from later generations are like gods of death, as long as they fall on a ship, they will take away the lives of the sailors on board.

These pirates were helpless in the face of the attack of the treasure ship and could only be beaten passively.

Although there are some cannons on their big ships, the range of these cannons is too short, even if they are pulled out at this distance, it will not help.

In addition, the size of the treasure ship is so large, it doesn't matter if it takes a few shots.

Ships were wiped out under the blow of the treasure ship. Even if some ships broke through the firepower and rushed to the bottom of the treasure ship, they were attacked by the light machine guns on the treasure ship before they threw the cables in their hands onto the treasure ship.

For a moment, flesh and blood mixed with sawdust flew across the ship, and finally fell into the sea.

Zheng Yiguan and Zheng Zhihu looked at the scene in front of them with disbelief on their faces.

They never thought that naval warfare could be fought like this. Zhao Wen's style of play really refreshed their understanding of naval warfare.

I also encountered their shelling when I was fighting with Hongyi before, but compared with the current treasure ship's shelling, Hongyi's shelling is simply tickling.

Zheng Yiguan looked at the fiercely fired treasure ship, and said with a livid face: "I finally figured it out, this is a series of tricks, they want to swallow us directly."

"Brother, what should we do?" Zheng Zhihu looked at Zheng Yiguan, a hint of anxiety gradually appeared on his face.

When he saw the appearance of these five treasure ships, he originally thought that there was a turning point in the war, but he didn't expect that this would be a two-pronged attack, attacking both front and back, and wanted to wipe out his own troops.

Zheng Yiguan gritted his teeth, "I haven't seen anything since I've traveled across the ocean for so many years? I haven't experienced any strong winds and waves. Isn't it just a few treasure ships today? I don't believe it yet, and I still can't take it down. "

A look of madness gradually appeared on Zheng Yiguan's face, he turned his head, looked at Zheng Zhihu, and shouted: "Let all the ships in the rear be withdrawn for me, and attack the five treasure ships in front with all our strength.

Now I will also withdraw these attacking ships first. After the rear ships arrive, the two places will join together and attack the five treasure ships with superior strength. "

"Brother, the fleet in front cannot be withdrawn. Now these ships can still hold their breath and charge forward. Once they withdraw, it will be difficult to charge up again." Zheng Zhihu hurriedly shouted at Zheng Yiguan road.

But now Zheng Yiguan has fallen into madness, how can he listen to Zheng Zhihu's words?
"Shut up and do everything as I say. Are you going to disobey my order?" Zheng Yiguan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he stared at Zheng Zhihu threateningly.

Zheng Zhihu looked at Zheng Yiguan who couldn't listen, and heaved a long sigh helplessly, so he had to pass on Zheng Yiguan's order.

After the order was conveyed, the flag bearer on the watchtower began to wave the flag in his hand, passing on Zheng Yiguan's order.

Right in front of the shipyard, the fleet, which was under fierce attack from the defensive position, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Zheng Yiguan's order, and turned around one after another, fleeing in the direction they came from.

However, this seaway is extremely narrow, and the sea is densely covered with hidden reefs. If you are not careful, you will hit the reef. Coupled with the continuous falling shells, the sailors on these ships became even more panicked.

The fleet was crowded together, and many ships crashed into the reefs on the bottom of the sea because of panic.

At the same time, the fleet attacking Zhao Wen also slowed down and gradually began to retreat towards the rear.

"My lord, I looked at Zheng Yiguan to gather superior forces and launch an attack on us." Qi Qingtian frowned as he watched Zheng Yiguan's fleet retreating slowly.

"Hehe." Zhao Wen sneered, and said with a playful face: "If you want to gather superior forces, let's not give him this chance and see how he gathers."

Zhao Wen waved his hand, pointed to the front, and shouted: "Pass my order, raise the sails, turn around, advance at full speed, and line up to press Zheng Yiguan's fleet."

When Zhao Wen's order was issued, the attack on the treasure ship also stopped, and the sailors raised the sails to the top, and controlled the treasure ship to press down on Zheng Yiguan's fleet.

"woo woo woo woo!"

The horns on the treasure ships blared non-stop, and the five treasure ships slowly approached Zheng Yiguan's fleet like five hills.

The sailors on the ships that hadn't had time to retreat looked at the rushing treasure ship, feeling extremely depressed.

Treasure ships are too big for them. Compared with treasure ships, their ships are like a small thatched hut compared with high-rise buildings.

Looking at the huge treasure ship, these sailors felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

"Run away, this treasure ship is coming, if you don't escape, you will die."

The sailors on the ship yelled and fled quickly towards the rear.

Seeing that the ship couldn't turn around, some sailors jumped into the water and swam towards Zheng Yiguan.

The ship, which lost its sailors, was hit by an oncoming treasure ship.

The huge bronze ram installed under the waterline in front of the treasure ship easily smashed these small ships into pieces and smashed these weak ships to pieces.

Those sailors who jumped into the sea were like lambs being chased by jackals, swimming desperately forward.

Zhao Daniu looked at Zheng Yiguan's fleet slowly gathering in front, and couldn't help shouting: "Mr. Qi is right, Zheng Yiguan just wants to gather superior forces to attack us."

Zhao Wen stood on top of Yang Wei's treasure ship, and said with a sneer, "Even if Zheng Yiguan presses all these ships up, don't think he can get my five treasure ships into his hands.

What's more, in the previous wars, the number of ships in Zheng Yiguan's hands decreased sharply, and morale was also very low. "

Zhao Wen finished speaking, then pointed to the front, and said again: "Retreating at this time is really a strategy of defeat. I really can't understand what Zheng Yiguan is thinking, and why he made such a stupid move.

Since you have exposed such an obvious flaw, I feel a little sorry for not making good use of it.

Press me up and force them towards the No. [-] shipyard, I don't believe he won't fail. "

The treasure ship was heading towards Zheng Yiguan's fleet, and the retreating ships couldn't help speeding up when they saw the approaching treasure ship.

But in this way, coupled with the large number of ships, countless ships were crowded together for a while.

Seeing the crowded boats, Zheng Yiguan slammed his fist on the side of the boat.

"Damn it, it's really abominable, you actually pushed me up when I was retreating." Zheng Yiguan's face was full of viciousness.

In fact, no matter whether Zheng Yiguan retreated or not, the only result would be failure.

The fleet did not retreat, and his ships could not rush up, and could only be consumed by Zhao Wen's ammunition.

When the fleet retreated, Zhao Wen could take the opportunity to press them up and force them to the rear.

When the retreat begins, no one knows what the retreat will turn out to be, and it will most likely turn into a rout.

In ancient wars, this phenomenon emerged endlessly.

The slow-moving treasure ship hit the chests of these pirates like a huge boulder.

Looking at the extremely tall treasure ship, they felt tight in their chests and couldn't breathe.

A gust of sea breeze blew by, mixed with the smell of blood and burnt, which made the pirates retch.

"crunch, crunch!"

The treasure ship Yangwei collided with a Fuchuan that was lagging behind. The powerful collision force coupled with the bronze ram under the waterline directly in front of the Yangwei caused the Fuchuan to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The creaking sound resounded incessantly on the Fuchuan, and the Fuchuan gradually disintegrated.

The sailors on the blessing boat jumped into the sea in panic.

But when the treasure ship sailed over, the eddy generated directly sucked them into the water.

The wind on the sea began to increase, and the speed of the treasure ship also increased.

The treasure ships coming side by side were like an iron rake, plowing in the direction of Zheng Yiguan.

All ships touched by the treasure ship were crushed by the treasure ship without exception.

Some of them vainly tried to throw the ropes in their hands onto the side of the treasure ship, but when they just emerged, they were beaten to death by soldiers who had already prepared on the treasure ship.

Attacking and retreating are completely two mentalities. If it is an attack, these ships will swarm up and attack the treasure ship.

But when retreating, all the ships were scrambling to escape, and few people dared to resist.

"Damn it, really damn it, these people are going to kill us all."

Zheng Yiguan's temples were throbbing non-stop. He turned around, raised his binoculars to look at the fleet behind, and shouted angrily again: "Why hasn't the fleet behind here come over? If this continues, We must wipe out our entire army."

"Brother, let's run, we are obviously no match for these people, we can't beat them."

At this moment, Zheng Zhihu was finally afraid. With terrifying weapons and huge treasure ships, one of the two can dominate the ocean, let alone the two are owned by the same force?

The innocence has changed, and the era of the Zheng family on the ocean is finally coming to an end.

For a moment, Zheng Zhihu's grief came from his heart, and his face was full of loneliness.

Zheng Yiguan screamed frantically at Zheng Zhihu: "I have not failed, I will not fail. Back then I started from scratch and worked so hard to build such a big foundation. Today, such a little difficulty wants to stop me? This is simply impossible.

Send me an order, the fleet in front should not retreat anymore, rush up for me, rush for me.

And the fleet behind, let them speed up for me, and rush up for me, I will take these five treasure ships. "

"Brother, the sea area behind is too narrow, the ships are already crowded together, it is impossible to rush over, and now these five treasure ships are coming with the momentum of Mount Tai, they can defeat us without firing.

Just now, when the big brother gave the order to retreat, all the breath he was holding was vented. Now there is no way to organize a new attack.Brother, let's run. "

Zheng Zhihu looked at the treasure ship coming with the attitude of Mount Tai, and his heart trembled.

What he said was true. After the pent-up breath was vented, it would be difficult to organize again.

If the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will be abolished.

"Keep pressing on me until they surrender. If they don't surrender, keep pressing me. If anyone dares to resist, just serve them with weapons."

Zhao Wen watched the ships being crushed by the Yangwei treasure ship, and shouted without changing his face.

There were constant sounds of wood breaking on the sea, mixed with the panicked shouts of pirates.

Zheng Yiguan looked at the ships that were crushed by the treasure ship in front of him and the sound, and his heart was in a state of confusion for a moment.

The ships attacking the treasure ship were crowded together, and retreated at the speed of a turtle.
