The ships of the Ming Dynasty were advanced in technology, fast in flight, long range of artillery and high accuracy.

The Zheng family Pirate Group has a large ship scale, many ships and many artillery, and there are more experienced pirate members who are familiar with naval battles.

It can be said that both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. Overall, no one is better than anyone else.

The Zheng He and Yu Qian and the newly-in-service three steam-powered ships, the Xu Da, are not prominent on the sea where large ships gather. Although they are all covered in iron, they have already shown outstanding results in the two naval battles.

However, for Zheng Zhilong, who has rich experience in naval combat, if such fast artillery guns have a long range and agile response in a small naval battle, the battle situation may be played by a ship with a long range and agile range. However, in this large-scale naval battle, a few powerful ships alone cannot decide the outcome of the battle.

This is just like in the war in the 6th place, involving more than 100,000 large-scale operations, and the courage of a single general is difficult to control the situation.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong was not too afraid of these steam-powered ships. He had even prepared suicide ships for this, that is, he formed suicide squads with small and medium-sized ships that were not afraid of death and entangled these three special ships in combat with the same death.

But in fact, Zheng Zhilong ignored a fact that perhaps his current combat method of naval battles is still limited to observing the wind direction, but he ignored that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty's court has long been a systematic composition.

That is, each fleet (there are only three fleets now) is composed of combat units with steam-powered ships as the core. The various functional ships it is equipped with are only equipped with comprehensive consideration of various functions such as offense, defense, cover, supply, and escort. It can be said that it is seamless. A combat unit can adapt to various changes in battle situations at any time.

Zheng Zhilong may believe that the failure of the first two naval battles was only because he dispatched too few ships and did not form an absolute advantage over the court, which led to the court's steam-powered ships being able to exert all combat power, and ignored the fact that the Ming Dynasty could win was not only because the advanced ships and artillery were also related to the more advanced combat concepts and combat marshalling.

Zheng Zhilong's second brother Zheng Zhihu was also standing on the "Zheng He". His current identity is an ordinary servant responsible for carrying ammunition, but the only difference is that he is still wearing shackles.

Unlike Zheng Zhilong, after staying in the North Sea Fleet for a year and a half, Zheng Zhihu had a detailed understanding of the naval strength of the Ming court. He did not dare to contemptuously think that the court's navy was so ignorant and blind. At least through observation, Zheng Zhihu had to admit that the current Ming fleet was no longer something that he, an experienced pirate, could not imagine in many aspects, but after thinking it through carefully, he had to be surprised by the strength of these combat concepts.

Zheng Zhihu really wanted to write a letter to his brother, persuading Zheng Zhilong not to fight the court to the end. He even expressed this idea to Qin Botong.

Zhu Youxiao also agreed that he could communicate with Zheng Zhilong, and of course the content of the letter must be reviewed by the Jinyiwei and the Ministry of War.

However, Zheng Zhilong was not convinced by Zheng Zhihu through letters. He even began to express his dissatisfaction with his second brother. In his opinion, his second brother had obviously begun to surrender to the court. For this reason, Zheng Zhilong also strictly denounced Zheng Zhihu in his reply letter not to believe the words of a foolish emperor. If he lobbyed for Zhu Youxiao again, Zheng Zhilong would even directly cut off his brotherly relationship.

Zheng Zhihu was not good at persuading him again, but at this moment, when he saw his brother Zheng Zhilong as proudly dispatched all the ships to fight the court to the decisive battle, his mood was also very complicated.

Both sides were snatching the upper hand, so they did not fire. The fleets of both sides swam regularly on the sea like a giant dragon, desperately changing directions under various flags and commands.

Zheng Zhilong really wants to break this deadlock. His ships rely on manpower to turn directions and change their navigation. Once this lasts for a long time, his ships will become even more dull.

To this end, Zheng Zhilong ordered Zheng Zhibao to lead a team of suicide fleets to attack the Zheng He to force the Zheng He to turn around. Then, at this time, the main fleet on his side would immediately turn around, seize the upper hand, and disrupt the Ming army's formation with dense artillery fire.

Seeing this, Gu Sanmazi couldn't help but adjust the telescope a little further and smiled: "Zheng's ship can't hold back anymore and is eager to fire the first shot."

"I passed the order, and Zheng He took advantage of the plan and retreated quickly. When the enemy ships began to shoot the Zheng He, the Yu Qian and Xu Da immediately cut into the waist of the Zheng group, and then aimed at one side and attacked hard. On this side, the Zheng He quickly marched toward the thirty degrees southeast. When the Yu Qian and Xu Da were shelling the more favorable side, the Zheng He immediately blocked the other side of the Zheng group to prevent it from attacking me, Yu Qian and Xu Da!"

Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Zhilong have different command methods. Zheng Zhilong arranges them to complete combat tasks based on the trusted generals around him, while Gu Sanmazi directly arranges combat tactics based on the core ship. Generally speaking, when a certain flagship is mentioned, the entire combat unit with this flagship as the core must operate accordingly. The specific operation is directly responsible for the commander of the flagship. Gu Sanmazi doesn't have to worry about it, he only cares about the result.

The Zheng He is the longest-serving steamship of the Ming Dynasty today. The technicians and naval soldiers on this ship are also most familiar with the control of this new power ship, so they are allowed to resist the power of the Zheng pirate group alone. Gu Sanmazi is relieved.

Now, the movement of the propeller behind the hull, driven by a large amount of steam power, made the Zheng He retreat easily to the designated position.

The Zheng family's death ship that risked his life still posted it directly, trying to die with the Zheng He. At the same time, Zheng Zhibao also brought dozens of large ships to press towards the Zheng He from above.

Zheng Zhibao was holding his breath at this time. He wanted to teach the navy of the Ming Dynasty a lesson so that he could extricate this anger. Therefore, when he was pressing Zheng He, he was still very fast, and he did not have a deep memory because he had lost to Gu Sanmazi before and seduced him.

Or rather, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. When Zheng Zhibao was about to enter the range of his and Zheng He and Zheng Zhibao had already ordered his ships to attack Zheng He immediately with the air outlet, Zheng He suddenly escaped from here, and like a gust of wind, it chose almost 150 degrees and disappeared from the sea.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhibao hurriedly ordered his ship to chase him, but he did not expect that the ten lucky ships behind Zheng He immediately changed direction, quickly opened the cannon door, and aimed at the Zheng boats that were rushing to chase him.
