I am the carpenter king

Chapter 639 The Battle of Landing on the Island

Looking at the Ming warships blocked in front of him, a smile suddenly appeared on Fa Lei's face, but that smile was full of grief and unwillingness.The Dutch fleet, which had been at sea for many years, was wiped out like this, and my heart was cut like a knife.Seeming to have foreseen the end of the Dutch maritime era, Farley now finally realized how desperate the Spaniards were after the defeat of the Armada.

How much I want to tell my boss, how much I want to tell my colleagues, the Ming Dynasty, which we have always looked down upon, has finally taken action against us.As soon as he made a move, it was so thunderous that he was completely powerless to resist.Although his thoughts were flying wildly, the battleship was still advancing at full speed, rushing towards the opposite Daming Fleet.

White smoke and flames were Farley's last impression. Countless lines of fire flew towards him, and then there was a huge explosion.He seemed to fly, but his consciousness was quickly wiped out, and Farley finally realized that he was dead.

Laughing and picking up the binoculars in front of his chest, Yu Zigao looked at the warship fragments floating on the sea, feeling refreshed immediately.Looking back at the messenger, he said with a smile, "Assemble the fleet, leaving two warships to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the warships will go straight to Penghu at full speed. I will take Penghu down before dark, and we will go to Penghu for dinner." , Take Penghu and I will add meat to you!"

"The general has an order to take down Penghu and go to Penghu for dinner, and the commander will give you meat!" The order was passed down quickly, and the fleet quickly regrouped and rushed towards Penghu.After the fleet left, there was a clear sound of gunfire behind them. It was the warship cleaning the battlefield, and it was firing on the Dutch soldiers who fell into the water.

"Uncle Master, this battle was really fun!" Looking at Zhang Yukun with a smile, Yu Zigao couldn't hide his joy. This kind of victory without casualties made him very excited.

Gently shook his head.Zhang Yukun's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason why we were able to win so easily this time is because of the carelessness and pride of the Dutch. Of course, we also have something to do with the unequal strength of our troops. But you must not be arrogant. The world is changing rapidly, as a commander, you should not be surprised by favor or humiliation. Mount Tai collapses in front of you, but your face remains unchanged. What kind of dignity do you have, remember that arrogant soldiers will lose!"

Looking at the serious Zhang Yukun, Yu Zigao suddenly thought of his father, who taught him like this back then.But since I was young and frivolous, how could I ever understand my father's feelings?Hearing such similar words again at this time, thinking of his father's disappointed expression at that time, Yu Zigao suddenly felt emotional.

Respectfully bowing to Zhang Yukun, Yu Zigao said with a serious expression: "Thank you for your teaching, my nephew understands!" Perhaps it was because of his age.Yu Zigao treated this uncle who was younger than himself, although he was respectful on the surface, but in his heart he really had some resistance.

However, through this period of contact, Yu Zigao discovered that his little uncle is very capable of continuous training and fighting, and he is also very seasoned in his conduct and deeds.Feeling the teachings like a father at this time, Yu Zigao regarded this young uncle as his elder from his heart.

Zhang Yukun nodded slowly, and said to Yu Zigao: "Attack Penghu later. You and Qi Jin will divide the work and cooperate. Qi Jin will lead the troops to take a fast boat and go directly to the beach. Landing operations. You will command from behind Fleet, shelling the artillery on the shore, must destroy the artillery on the port and on the shore."

He nodded slowly. Yu Zigao would not object to Zhang Yukun's battle plan.I have already wiped out ten warships of the Dutch, and I don't think there will be too many in the port.Yu Zigao is still confident about this.After all, there is Xu Xinsu who knows the Dutch very well on board his boat.

The sound of the guns was rumbling, the smoke filled the air, the sea water was splashed high, and there were waves blasted by shells everywhere.Zheng Zhihu waved the knife in his hand and chopped down a Spaniard.Without caring to wipe off the blood splashed on his face, he jumped back to his own boat.

"Go forward at full speed, and seize the fort first after landing!" The battle has reached a fever pitch, and the two sides are completely stuck together, and no one will retreat at this time.

Looking at the warship rushing to the shore, Zheng Zhilong finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a long-lost smile on his face.As long as he landed, Zheng Zhilong believed that relying on those Spaniards would not be able to stop his offensive.The sound of shouting and killing soon rang out, and the sound of muskets immediately resounded through the pirates.

"Your Excellency, Commander, shall we press it up?" Brian looked at Waite with an excited expression on his face, and asked loudly, for fear that his voice would be suppressed by the roar of the artillery.

"Go up, once Zheng Zhilong's team retreats, it will be difficult to go up again! All the warships are moving forward at full speed, and quickly land on the island!" Wei Te dared not have the slightest delay. Compared with Zheng Zhilong, Wei Te did not Such good confidence.

The Spaniards' musketeers were not easy to deal with. Although Zheng Zhilong's men were also equipped with muskets, they were really powerless compared to the Spaniards.Only by keeping up quickly can you successfully annihilate the Spaniards.

"Stop, stop everything, find a place to hide!" Zheng Zhihu was about to gnash his teeth, these hateful Spaniards!Looking at the brother who was shot dead by the musket, the muscles on Zheng Zhihu's face were twitching.

The Spaniards were clearly prepared. They built fortifications, trenches and barbed wire around the artillery position, so that Zheng Zhihu's men could not rush over.Standing here directly became a target, and he could only face the Spanish bullets with his flesh and blood.

However, this situation was quickly improved. As the Dutch fleet pressed up, the sound of artillery suddenly sounded from the shore.The Spanish artillery position was naturally the focus of the shelling, and there were screams everywhere.

Zheng Zhilong also went ashore at this time, and came to Zheng Zhihu's side under the cover of his subordinates. He lowered his voice and said to his younger brother: "Second brother, go there first, the Spaniards can't stop it. You take people straight to In the city of San Salvador, block the Spanish gunpowder depot first, and then occupy the warehouse, and must occupy the good things."

"Brother, don't worry, we have wasted so much energy, if we don't make enough money, I'm really sorry for the dead brother!" Zheng Zhihu nodded vigorously, Zheng Zhilong was willing to take the lead in landing, and this reason accounted for a large proportion.

The battle quickly turned into a one-sided situation. With the position destroyed, the Spaniards could no longer hold back and began a major retreat.Zheng Zhihu's men followed closely behind and rushed towards the city not far away.The Dutch also went ashore, and the whole team of Musketeers also began to march towards the city.The battle lasted for most of the day, and at this time the winner was finally decided. After all, the Spaniards failed to resist the combined forces of the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong.

The city of San Salvador is not very far from the sea. It is not so much a city as it is a fortress.The high walls and huge artillery turned the whole city into an indestructible fortress.

Zheng Zhihu frowned at this time into a big pimple, such a fortress is really difficult to conquer.These brothers under him are good at sea robbery, but they really don't have the ability to attack such a fortress.

Looking back at Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, what should I do?"

"These Spaniards are really making money!" Zheng Zhilong cursed loudly, and Zheng Zhilong didn't expect things to evolve to this extent.By this time, the Spaniards still had the power to fight.After thinking about it with his head down, Zheng Zhilong frowned, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we can't fight in, let the Dutch fight, and we will watch the fun from behind."

"Brother, what's in there?" Although Zheng Zhihu knew that there was no way out, but thinking of those trophies, the expression on his face suddenly became a little unnatural.

Sighing softly, Zheng Zhilong said with a little helplessness: "Man is not as good as God, and some things cannot be controlled by manpower. If we can consume the strength of the Dutch here, what if we take less things?" ? Send people to keep an eye on it all the time, and when the city is broken, just rush in. As long as the Dutch don’t eat alone, they will spit it out sooner or later!”

"Yes, big brother!" Zheng Zhihu nodded vigorously, although he was unwilling, but this was the only way to do it now.

Seeing this fortress, Waite also had a bad expression, which was beyond his expectation!

The Spaniards were kicked out of the Taiwan Strait by the Dutch last time. This time, they were naturally well-prepared and moved out most of their properties in Manila. It can be said that it was a desperate move!Being able to defeat the Spaniard in this way is already the reason why Waite is lucky.If Zheng Zhilong's growth hadn't been anticipated, the Dutch might not have been able to take advantage of the Spaniard this time.

"The head of Zheng's family, now that things have happened, do you have any good suggestions?" Waite walked to Zheng Zhilong's side and asked in a deep voice, with an unconcealable tiredness on his face.

Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised at once, but he didn't say anything unnecessary, and said directly: "Your Excellency, we rushed to the island just now and suffered heavy losses. We really have no intention of attacking the city. Besides, my brothers are really not good at this kind of thing." , the next step is to look at the means of Your Excellency the Commander!"

After making up his mind not to make a move, Zheng Zhilong expressed his attitude immediately, not to lose too much strength here, this is Zheng Zhilong's bottom line.

After hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Waite immediately cursed in his heart, Zheng Zhilong is an old fox!But at this time, Waite is also in a dilemma. Is it really going to attack?When Waite was hesitating, the navy of the Ming Dynasty had already marched towards Penghu!If he can get this news, I am afraid that he will never hesitate again.
