Chapter 372 Zheng Zhibao was surrounded
Gu Sanmazi's words surprised the officers of the South China Sea Fleet.
Most of these are professionals, even after the Battle of Ryukyu, and even after the Battle of Ryukyu, the officers of their family were not convinced that their generals were making such jokes at this time, and they wanted to eat the Zheng family fleet that was several times more than theirs.
And Zheng Zhibao would not have thought that he had become Gu Sanmazi's prey.
Seeing Gu Sanmazi and his South China Sea fleet running around the sea like headless flies, and they were almost running to the direction of Nanyang, he even felt a little contempt and said, "Hmph, Gu Sanmazi is just so brave. Before I could fire the fire, I was so scared that he wet his pants, haha!"
"Yes, if the old man hadn't repeatedly reminded him not to start the battle lightly, with Gu Sanmazi's courage, we could have taught him a lesson, which would have been considered avenging the second master!"
Shi Yuancheng, the general of Zheng Zhilong's troops who came with Zheng Zhibao, also replied, and Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to punch the railing.
Although Zheng Zhibao also wanted to relieve the shame of his second brother being captured, Zheng Zhilong had too much authority in the Zheng family, and he had to obey.
But Gu Sanmazi had no scruples at this time. Zhu Youxiao had already given him the right to act cheaply, and he himself was a person with a leaps in his mind. Therefore, although other officers had objections to Gu Sanmazi's idea of eating Zheng Zhibao's fleet with the South China Sea Fleet, they did not object to Gu Sanmazi's decision.
In Gu Sanmazi's opinion, this group of Zheng's fleet that followed him and tried to threaten him was simply unwitting. They thought that their ships were large and powerful, and that this area was his own territory and could do whatever he wanted.
But these proud Zheng's fleets forgot about the fact that they were willing to deceiving the war. They didn't know that the South China Sea fleet in front of them was not a mouse that they could tease but a cunning fox.
Originally, Gu Sanmazi just wanted to test whether these Zheng fleets would be fooled, so he decisively ordered the entire South China Sea fleet to change its initial course and head to the Luzon area to the south.
However, Zheng Zhibao's fleet did not see through Gu Sanmazi's tricks. After chasing from Zhoushan to the chicken coop, he thought that the South China Sea fleet was really frightened and became panicked when he escaped.
But after passing the chicken cage, when he arrived at the waters near Luzon, Gu Sanmazi decisively ordered the South China Sea fleet to turn around and quickly seize the upper hand, and then directly bombarded Zheng Zhibao's fleet.
Zheng Zhibao's fleet was chasing the South China Sea Fleet all the way, but he never thought that he would really eat the South China Sea Fleet, so he didn't pay attention to seizing the upper hand, which caused him to be caught off guard when he was hit by the South China Sea Fleet and was in a passive situation of being beaten.
The fierce artillery fire directly suppressed Zheng Zhibao's fleet, causing the originally calm sea surface to stir up countless waves, and the fire bloomed like fireworks on the blue waves of thousands of miles.
It is also thanks to the fact that most of Zheng Zhibao's fleet has been equipped with the latest artillery of the Flang aircraft, but now it has lost the opportunity to fight back.
Gu Sanmazi couldn't help but feel very happy and said with a smile: "The Zheng family is just like this. I really don't know how they are so big."
As he said that, Gu Sanmazi saw that Zheng Zhibao's fleet had also begun to change directions, as if he was preparing to open up the situation at the expense of a small number of fleets, so he immediately ordered: "Turn away, change the course, and move towards Leizhou!"
Suddenly, the ships of the South China Sea Fleet immediately began to stop shelling, and quickly changed directions like fish following the ocean currents and drove towards the northwest, flowing down white waves to Zheng Zhibao's fleet.
Zheng Zhibao's fleet had just turned around and fired the first round of artillery bombings, but found that all his shells were thrown into the sea and fed the fish.
Zheng Zhibao felt like he was hitting the cotton with one punch. He couldn't help but feel frigid inside and immediately ordered his fleet to catch up immediately, as if he had completely forgotten Zheng Zhilong's instructions to him that he should not start a light battle with the South China Sea Fleet.
Gu Sanmazi saw Zheng Zhilong's fleet coming through the telescope. A cunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "There are many reefs in front of him. The small boat is left here to lure the Zheng fleet. The large ship immediately evacuated from the east and west sides. The Yu Qian directly welcomed the enemy and lured the Zheng pirate ship toward this side!"
After saying that, Gu Sanmazi personally drove the Yuqian steam-powered warship to Zheng Zhibao's fleet.
Zheng Zhibao now knew the power of this kind of warship wrapped in iron. He no longer foolishly exposed his flanks, but immediately turned around and surrounded the "Yu Qian" with ten soft sailboats as pioneers, trying to trap the "Yu Qian" to death!
Just as Zheng Zhibao began to gradually surround the "Yu Qian", the "Yu Qian" suddenly fled out of its gap with a silhouette. When Zheng Zhibao saw this, he was furious and ordered his fleet to continue pursuing. When he saw that many small ships of the South China Sea fleet in front were trying to carry gunpowder to block it, he simply ordered his fleet to directly crash over, trying to sank these small ships before they could even exert their power.
But when his ship came in, it collided directly on the reef. With a loud bang, it was too eager to sank the small boat of the South China Sea Fleet, which caused many fleets on Zheng Zhibao to be directly broken and countless sea water poured in.
However, these reefs had no effect on the small boats of the South China Sea Fleet, because they were shallow in the drought and quickly turned around and threw liquid explosives at the Zheng Zhibao's fleet.
At the same time, the "Yu Qian" and other large warships also appeared around and launched a general attack on Zheng Zhibao's fleet.
Zheng Zhibao's fleet was like a tank unit trapped in mud, becoming inactive and could only be sunk by these warships of the South China Sea Fleet one after another.
"Bastard, this Gu Sanmazi, I must kill him!"
Seeing his favorite warship gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea, Zheng Zhibao, who had changed his flagship, gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth. However, Shi Yuancheng and others hurriedly persuaded him and said, "San Master, please calm down. We have just accidentally been fooled by Gu Sanmazi now, but this does not mean that we have no chance to break through. Now as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to rush out of the siege of Gu Sanmazi's ships!"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhibao had to order the warships to break through in this way, but now Gu Sanmazi has tightened the encirclement and formed a circle of five small boats and a large lucky ship. The Yu Qian is a vanguard, rushing around in the encirclement to attack these Zheng pirate ships.
For a moment, Zheng Zhibao's fleet gradually began to show that its fleet could not break through at all. Once a warship attacked rashly, it would be sunk by the "Yu Qian" as a target.
Not long after, Zheng Zhibao's fleet was almost gone, and Gu Sanmazi narrowed the encirclement until he finally completely surrounded the warship where Zheng Zhibao was located.
