Chapter 350 Zheng Zhihu's defeat has already appeared
A ship located in Zheng San's fleet, located in the 90-degree southeast, was once again attacked by Zheng He with several artillery guns and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
The other Zheng San's warships immediately turned around and even rushed towards the Zheng He upper vent, with a sense of awe of killing one's body and dying together.
But Gu Sanmazi's Zheng He didn't like this. If you want to fight, I won't fight. I suddenly passed through the hollow position of Zheng San's fleet like a gust of wind, but continued to chase Zheng San's fleet's butt!
This kind of naval battle made Zheng San very frustrated. He wanted to fight hard, but he didn't fight hard with you. If he wanted to ignore him, he could appear in front of you immediately and bombard you.
With a squeak, Zheng San's flagship, the mast of the class Fu Ship with a displacement of nearly 80 tons, broke down accordingly, and the flames spread directly along the other mast to the deck.
At the same time, countless cry of mourning sounded from other pirate warships. Zheng San's fleet did not successfully hit the Zheng He, but was almost wiped out!
Zheng Zhihu was really angry. He didn't want to watch his slave and his nanny brother bury him in the sea. He no longer wanted to wipe out Heiwazi's fleet. Even the cargo ship in charge of Qin Botong had no intention of robbing him anymore. Instead, he gathered all his fleets to press on the Zheng He.
"Chief Gu, the pirates seem to be in a hurry and are all pressing towards us. This situation is not small," Zheng He, the commander-in-chief, said to Gu Sanmazi.
But Gu Sanmazi burst into laughter: "Let's come here, come here, I'm just tidying up one by one. Now everyone has played a few games. This is called the steam engine control. Let's cheer up, let's have another scene where Zhao Zilong in and out of the seventh place in and out of the seventh place in and out of the seventh place in and in the Changshan!"
As he said that, Gu Sanmazi not only did not let Zheng He retreat, but also rushed forward. The speed was very fast, almost stopping at the range of the Zheng He and the pirate warship, and then directly attacked its flank with a round of artillery.
With a snap, a smaller pirate ship fell directly to the side, while Zheng Zhihu immediately changed direction and had a fast-lived small boat to chase Zheng He first, with the purpose of entanglement with the Zheng He first. Any large ship that has reached the range will occupy the upper air outlet and then sink the Zheng He in one fell swoop.
Of course, the Zheng He was not deceived. He sank another pirate's boat and immediately turned around and retreated quickly in the opposite direction.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhihu was busy trying to catch up with his small warship immediately using its lightweight and rapid characteristics. However, the steam-powered ship was too fast. Moreover, as more and more coal was added, the boiler temperature was getting higher and higher, and the steam power became more and more sufficient, and the degree was even faster. On the contrary, the pirate's boat could initially rely on the rapid paddle assistance of manpower to make the ship catch up with the Zheng He, but after all, it was manpower and there was always a time to be exhausted.
Therefore, after less than a few quarters of an hour, even the boat could not catch up with the Zheng He. On the contrary, the Zheng He could still go back and shell the boats.
Within half an hour, these small boats that were ordered by Zheng Zhihu were sunk by the Zheng He one by one. Except for three or four of them fled back in a hurry, when Zheng Zhilong's main fleet caught up, most of the small boats had been sunk by Zheng He.
Bang!
Zheng Zhihu punched the mast. His palm, which was injured by shrapnel and stopped bleeding, suddenly flowed blood again. His breast brother Zheng San was now swimming towards him with a log. His flagship was finally forced to sit and watch him bury at the bottom of the sea because he was shot too many times and could not suppress the fire.
But Zheng Zhihu didn't understand how this ship with iron armor could float on the sea surface, and it was so fast that it was not even tired. What's more important is that the cannon was stronger than his Western cannons, and it was not an iron bomb, and it could explode and cause secondary damage.
This is simply impossible to fight!
Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but think of this, but at this time, the Zheng He rushed from the flank again. Zheng Zhihu immediately asked the one-eyed dragon fleet to block it, but it was not blocked. Gu Sanmazi now commanded the Zheng He fleet with ease, just like a lively water snake that had been floating around between Zheng He's fleet, dancing with elegant figures among the gorgeous fireworks.
Of course, this is just from an artistic point of view. For Zheng Zhihu, this is simply a first-class monster. The whale swallows his ships one by one, and Zheng Zhihu has to be tired of dealing with it.
This is the gap between the two eras. Although Zheng He has many shortcomings in the navigation and operating system in steam power, and even has lags, requiring temporary power supply by boatmen and temporary repairs by technical workers, he has surpassed the two eras of these sloop hard sailboats, so he seems so brave and unrivaled.
As night gradually descends, the view on the sea begins to become unclear. People in this era generally have poor eyesight at night due to vitamin deficiency. Even Zheng's pirates are afraid of the night.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were not afraid of this. First, they had a physical examination before recruitment. Second, they not only had a large amount of food in the army, but also paid attention to nutritional matching. In order to prevent night blindness, Zhu Youxiao also specially asked the food of the Imperial Guards to focus on carrots and pork liver, in order to provide a large amount of vitamins, and even ordered the essential dry food for marching in the wild to bring dried carrots in addition to compressing dry food.
Therefore, for the Imperial Guards, the advantage is greater, but the use of telescopes is limited.
Fortunately, the Imperial Guards also have white phosphorus bombs.
Seeing several white flames floating at the end of the front, Qin Botong understood that this was a signal that he had already gained an absolute advantage. In order to prevent Zheng Zhihu from retreating with all his responsibilities, Qin Botong immediately ordered the remaining fleets to chase him immediately and give Zheng Zhihu another heavy blow at this moment.
The Zheng He also rushed in and saw Zheng Zhihu's fleet slamming, and several large warships of pirates who could have survived were sunk again.
Zheng Zhihu began to feel fear, not only him, but other pirates also began to retreat voluntarily. Everyone could see that there was no chance for this naval battle, and if they continued to fight, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The one-eyed dragon presses its tail, and the other ships immediately retreat toward the chicken cage!"
Zheng Zhihu said that shortly after, Zheng Zhihu's fleet immediately retreated. These pirates were experienced and retreated quickly and in a very orderly manner.
But at this time, Qin Botong's fleet had already surrounded him, and as soon as he came up, there was a burst of bombing. The Zheng pirates who were unwilling to fight were really hit by a lot of bullets in their desire to avoid the war.
Zheng Zhihu didn't care. His flagship was the only soft sailboat with a brig, and his speed was not slow. While his people were entangled in the main force of the First Fleet in the North Sea, his flagship had already sailed several miles away.
"Gu Qianshi, Zheng Zhihu's flagship is about to run!"
I don’t know who called this, which made Gu Sanmazi curse: “What are you waiting for? Just chase after me!”
But at this time, the commander of the baggage in charge, Tongzhi came and said, "But, Mr. Gu, our shells are almost over. You have been shouting to fight before, but we didn't think about saving."
"Get out! A group of calves, they have never suffered hardships and hunger at first sight. I don't know how to save money. I ask you to beat you. Just fight honestly and learn how to save money and live a life of those wives who can manage the family!"
Gu Sanmazi cursed a few depressed words and asked again: "How much coal is left? Can the boiler still support it?"
"It can still support it. Now it's time for sufficient power. It's okay to run for another two hours. However, you have to stop after two hours, otherwise the boiler temperature is too high and the cooling water is insufficient, and some parts will be burned at that time." The commander Tongzhi replied.
"That's good," Gu Sanmazi nodded, with a firm look in his eyes, and said in a desperate manner: "Transfer my order and rush forward at all costs. Be sure to hit Zheng Zhihu's flagship, remember to hit its flank vertically head-on and vertically!"
"Chen-Shi, this is not good. Zheng He is His Majesty's treasure. His Majesty said that he can be worth a hundred thousand troops. Although he is wrapped in iron, he can reduce the impact of the iron bomb. In this way, he will directly hit a large warship. What if it hits the fire and is lost? We will not be able to afford to be guilty at that time!"
The commander Tongzhi hurriedly advised.
"No matter how good the girl is, she has to go out to pick up the customers. Since she is a treasure, she has to use it. Didn't the old man named Mao say that this thing has undergone a collision test? Today I will test it for him. Even if it is damaged, he has to thank me. I will apologize to Your Majesty. If the ship is gone, it will be a pity to let Zheng Zhihu run away. You don't know how powerful this guy is. If you don't catch him, what will the court use to threaten Zheng Zhilong's old thief and execute the order!"
Gu Sanmazi ordered with a serious expression.
In his opinion, Zheng Zhihu is a brave general of the Zheng family pirate group. If Zheng Zhihu is not killed and captured at this time, it will definitely cause great trouble to the court in the future.
Now, when Zheng Zhihu underestimated the enemy at the beginning and was not prepared enough to have a situation of fleeing in a hurry, he should pursue and fight hard and not tolerate the traitor.
After Gu Sanmazi's order was delivered, the Zheng He drove at full speed and rushed directly to the Zheng Zhihu flagship who was trying to escape the battlefield.
The rumbling black smoke lies across the sky like a black dragon, drawing an arc, and a ditch on the sea that was drawn by the Zheng He roar corresponds to it.
When the Zheng pirate ship saw the iron-armored monster Zheng He rushing in again, they all began to avoid it automatically, for fear of being beaten by it again.
But they found that the Zheng He did not attack, but chased him in a certain direction. After closer inspection, they kept chasing their second master's flagship.
The pirates who were loyal to protecting their masters quickly began to change the direction of the ship and chased after him, and took the initiative to attack Zheng He.
Zheng Zhihu also found that the Zheng He was chasing him. In a hurry, Zheng Zhihu immediately ordered his subordinates to use flag-language orders to stop the Zheng He family.
These pirates worked hard, and countless iron bombs poured over toward the Zheng He shipboard, smashing the iron sheet directly into shape, and hitting the chimney again. The fire bricks fell all over the ground, and Gu Sanmazi fell to the ground due to violent shaking, but he kept shouting: "Chase, chase me, I will cut the Zheng-shou into pieces!"
As he said that, Gu Sanmazi spit out a mouthful of ashes.
Bang!
Another metal collision sounded, and the wall of the Zheng He was bombed again, and Gu Sanmazi also hit the ground again, and a big bag was knocked directly on his head.
Commander Zheng He, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but help him up: "Chief Gu, you'd better go into the command room. This artillery fire is everywhere. If it hits you, what should I do?"
"What are you afraid of? What can you see through the small window when hiding in the command room? This is not a fool to watch the widow take a bath. I am dissatisfied with you. I have been lying on the sea for decades and have not been bombed yet. I have spared these shells because I am a vicious person!"
As soon as Gu Sanmazi said to play, an iron bullet flew directly towards his head.
Seeing this, the commander hurriedly threw him to the ground. The iron bullet did not hit Gu Sanmazi's head, but hit Gu Sanmazi's calf.
"Grandma, it hurts so much!" Gu Sanmazi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed, "It was the son of the turtle who ejaculated. I don't care about him!"
At this time, Gu Sanmazi's existing pirate warship actually hit his Zheng He directly, trying to stop him from chasing Zheng Zhihu's flagship by dying together.
Seeing this, Gu Sanmazi couldn't help but shout: "Thirty degrees northwest, with a sharp turn. Several broken boats also want to kiss me. I really sold myself in Yihongyuan. Are you willing to accept anyone? Only your second master's boat will I be interested in hitting it."
Gu Sanmazi directed Zheng He to go in and out of the impact of all the pirate ships along the way.
About half an hour later, he chased Zheng Zhihu's flagship to another rather calm sea level.
Looking at the Zheng He who was chasing him behind, there was no other way for Zheng Zhihu flagship. He didn't even know where to escape, but he ran as much as possible anyway.
But as he ran, his flagship still slowed down. He had to seize the upper hand first to prepare for the Zheng He who was chasing him to fight to the end!
But what surprised Zheng Zhihu was that when Zheng He approached his flagship, Zheng He suddenly turned around and directly crashed towards his bow on the side of the ship. The time was very fast, like a mountain covering the cover.
"Change the direction and retreat!"
Before Zheng Zhihu could finish his shouting, a huge collision vibration sounded, and the front section of his flagship was directly smashed, and at the same time, the ship also capsized towards the back like a horse rising up.
A violent vibration caused Zheng Zhihu to fall to the ground, and countless pirates fell directly into the sea.
At this time, the Zheng He swayed violently, causing many things to fall outside the ground, but they were all at ease, and they turned directly and collided towards Zheng Zhihu's side wing.
