Liu Pei thought to himself, it seems that Zheng Zhilong really has a deep brotherly love! He went crazy after killing his younger brother Zheng Zhilong! While Liu Pei still had some time, he looked at the battlefield in the distance with his telescope, but he couldn't see anything for a long time.

I can’t see it! Everything I can see is burning ships and thick black smoke!

Liu Pei shouted loudly: "Report the situation on other battlefields!"

The lookout on the mast put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly: "You can't see clearly at all! Nothing but smoke is fire! But our people must have the upper hand! Because the ship on fire is not ours!"

Being unable to see the situation clearly presented a problem for Liu Pei! Although Liu Pei was temporarily far away from the enemy's fleet, he could no longer retreat. If he stayed further away, the enemy would have enough space to set up a battle formation.

They can give full play to their advantage of having more people and more ships, and it will be easier for Zheng Zhilong to escape. That would be very detrimental to Liu Pei's plan!

He put down the telescope and said to Jack: "Jack, what do you think?"

When Liu Pei was speaking, Jack was sorting out the muskets on his belt. This guy actually had three muskets stuck in his waist! He used a strip to confirm that the last musket had bullets in it, and then inserted it back into his belt.

, said: "What else can we do? Execute plan No. 2! Because we can't let go of this hole! Blocking them has the opportunity to kill the opponent's leader. If he runs away, our future will be very troublesome! This point

Discussed at the combat meeting!”

Liu Pei heard Jack say this and he had already started to organize his equipment, so he made up his mind. He immediately shouted to the captain: "Sign the flag, we will go straight to the Chinese army! Everyone wears armor!"

Liu Pei gave the order, and the fleets immediately began to turn around and rush directly towards the pirate fleet behind them! This was also the method Liu Pei came up with out of desperation!

Liu Peichuan has a small number of people. If he can't severely damage Zheng Zhilong's main force and kill Zheng Zhilong at once, then there will be a lot of battles in the future! If Zheng Zhilong escapes, the sea will not calm down at all in a short time! He will do anything for revenge.

If you can do it! You may turn to the Westerners directly and try to lure the wolf into your house!

Therefore, in this naval battle, Liu Pei must take advantage of his tall hull and dense artillery to continuously eliminate the enemy's main force while swimming. But there is a prerequisite, that is, Zheng Zhilong must die! If he does not die, he will definitely give Liu Pei

It will bring huge trouble to Liu Pei! He will definitely call on everyone to force Liu Pei to hand over the production method of the new warship, and finally put Liu Pei to death!

So this requires Liu Pei to kill Zheng Zhilong in this battle. Killing Zheng Zhilong is even more important than annihilating the main force of Zheng Zhilong's fleet!

Because as long as Zheng Zhilong dies, the pirates will be scattered. Liu Pei can use the ship to

Using strong artillery to annihilate stubborn enemies and buying some pirates can completely achieve his goal. But this requires Liu Pei to fight under extremely unfavorable conditions and use his own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

Liu Pei's strength lies in his high firepower density. The most suitable strategy for him is to circle around in the open sea and destroy more ships at medium and long distances. But reality requires that he must engage in a boarding battle with Zheng Zhilong.

Make sure to kill Zheng Zhilong.

The fleets of both sides were approaching quickly. Liu Pei's fleet kept twisting the hull to get out of the firing range, and bombarded the opponent constantly, weakening the opponent. The short-barreled gun on the bow played a great role at close range! But in order to fear

Zheng Zhilong escaped, and Liu Pei directly ordered the short-barreled artillery not to bombard Zheng Zhilong's boat. Because the bombardment could not be 100% sure whether Zheng Zhilong was killed.

Although Zheng Zhilong was mad and determined to avenge his brother, he made no mistakes in his command. He spread his wings and came over, hoping to swallow up Liu Pei's fleet. At the same time, he kept adjusting his

When taking the boat, always stay directly in front of Liu Pei's boat and avoid Liu Pei's artillery fire.

The flagships of the two sides continued to approach. Liu Pei kept an eye on Zheng Zhilong, and here he also kept an eye on Liu Pei! So the final result was that the two ships collided straight together!

Just before the collision, everyone on the decks of the two ships shouted: "Prepare for collision!" "Watch out! It's about to collide!"

The sailors who received the warning grabbed hold of the fixtures around them and tried to stabilize their bodies. However, the force of the collision between the two ships was too great! With a loud "bang", the two ships collided together.

!Then there was the crackling sound of broken boards and the creaking sound of the hull deforming! Everyone on the two ships turned into gourds!

When Liu Pei got up, he saw a very miserable scene! The bow of his ship was broken! Fortunately, Liu Pei's ship was taller and stronger. There was also a collision angle on the bow. So he

The bow of Zheng Zhilong's boat was deeply embedded in the bow of Zheng Zhilong's boat! It split the entire bow of his boat! But the split bow also tightly clamped Liu Pei's bow, and the two ships were completely entangled.

Inseparable from each other!

As soon as Liu Pei stood firm, he shouted loudly: "Shoot! Shoot!"

The fire gunners who had just stood up on the deck immediately staggered down on the bow of the ship and fired a row of lead bullets downwards! The pirates who had not gained a firm footing were shot into a large area!

Liu Pei lay on the side of the ship and looked forward. Although he did not see Zheng Zhilong in the chaos, he believed that Zheng Zhilong would not die so easily! So Liu Pei, regardless of anything else, ordered the soldiers to fire a few more rounds.

Gun, weaken the opponent as much as possible so that he can join forces and kill Zheng Zhilong!

Two flagships collided

After the explosion, other ships also began to exchange fire. Every ship in Liu Pei's fleet was like an erupting volcano, constantly spraying hot shells around! Whether it was solid shells, chain belts, explosive shells, or grape shells

, no matter what shells they caught, the gunners stuffed them into the gun barrels without even looking at them, and then fired them at the enemy desperately! At this time, the difference in the intensity of firepower between the two sides was seen! Almost every enemy ship that passed by Liu Pei's fleet was

The ship will be beaten until the planks are shattered and in tatters! Or it may simply be ignited by explosive bombs and turn into a floating fire on the sea!

Liu Pei's fleet did injure and destroy many ships when they crossed paths with enemy ships. But this does not mean that they won a complete victory! The pirate ship's resolute counterattack also stained the deck red with the blood of the soldiers!

The other ships in Liu Pei's fleet began to turn after passing the two entangled flagships, trying to build a line of defense around them to prevent other pirates from reinforcing Zheng Zhilong. After all, Liu Pei had the advantage in hand-to-hand combat at this time!

First of all, the side of his ship is relatively high, which allows him to kill enemies from a high position. But if the pirates want to climb onto Liu Pei's flagship, they have to climb a very high distance. During this period, they are all living targets!

Moreover, Liu Pei's ship is a third-class cruiser, which carries many more soldiers and sailors than Chinese ships! So Liu Pei has an advantage in a short period of time! But other pirates are not stupid, they know

The outcome of the battle between the flagships of both sides will affect the outcome of the entire naval battle! So they braved the overwhelming artillery fire and moved forward desperately, trying to reinforce Zheng Zhilong's ship.

In order to prevent them from reinforcing, Liu Pei's fleet fired guns and cannons in a desperate attempt to intercept the enemy ships. Moreover, these crazy captains learned to rush into the space between two enemy ships at the same time, using the artillery on both sides to attack them at the same time.

This tactic of attacking two enemy ships!

The most frightening thing is that the flagships of both sides have become entangled. Other ships must have come to reinforce each other, resulting in an extremely close distance between the ships! Every shot fired by either side will not miss! For a time, gunpowder smoke is everywhere on the sea.

, the roar of artillery! The sound of broken boards and continuous screams are endless!

At this time, we can see the benefits of Liu Pei's crazy construction of warships! The warships have tall sides and thick hulls. Especially there are many artillery installations! The artillery on a ship is almost ten times that of the pirate ship! And the bottom artillery deck

They are all equipped with heavy artillery! As long as they hit the ship at close range, there will be a huge hole!

There are also other artillery pieces that fire grapeshot and chain bombs intensively. After one round of artillery fire, basically everyone on the deck of the enemy ship will be dead! So they firmly withstood the siege of the pirates! Even if there were occasional fish that slipped through the net, they would
Chapter completed!
