Zheng Cai treated some of the warships under his command as targets and took the initiative to send them to Wang Yilin's muzzle. Let's see how many ships you can sink?

As long as the distance is closer to within six miles, the more than 60 warships under his command can bite Wang Yilin's eleven ships so that he can't even have bones left.

The Wusong Navy was already behind more than twenty miles away. This is not surprising. When the Zheng family navy turned to escape, the Wusong Navy warships were almost berthed, for the sake of volleys and accuracy.

It was not until the Zheng family naval commander escaped beyond the range that the Wusong naval commander began to pursue.

This causes the distance to quickly widen.

The distance of more than twenty miles was enough for Zheng Cai to conduct an assault on Wang Yilin by more than sixty warships.

Is Zheng Cai really braver than Zheng Zhiguan?

Does he really want to fight a life-and-death battle?

On the contrary, although Zheng Cai felt that Zheng Zhiguan’s order to surrender was wrong, Zheng Cai believed that this was a war that there was no need to continue.

Zheng Cai didn't know that Zheng Zhiguan and Dorgon had a private collusion.

The initial cause of this battle was that after Chen Li failed to plunder the merchant ship, more than ten warships were captured.

Zheng Zhiguan felt that he had lost face, so he dispatched the main force of the navy to avenge a single arrow.

But the current situation is no longer a battle of will, but a life-and-death battle.

Then, at least in Zheng Cai's opinion, it is completely unnecessary.

But Zheng Cai still stabbed Zheng Zhiguan with a knife. This was not only killing his boss, but also killing his uncle.

Zheng Cai had only one purpose, which was to regain control of this navy, regain the navy that originally belonged to him, and to avenge his brother Zheng Lian, who died in vain.

But this navy is no longer all Zheng Cai’s former former subordinates.

How to quickly gather centripetal force?

The best way is to kill people to establish authority and obey the will of the soldiers.

Who is the best to kill?

Of course it was Zheng Zhiguan. Zheng Zhiguan was Zheng Chenggong's man. Zheng Lian was killed by Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Cai took the initiative to hand over the military power. Although Zheng Chenggong treated him preferentially on the surface, he served as the deputy general of this navy.

But everyone understands that the deputy position in ancient times was a decoration.

If I don’t die, you will always be the prince.

In ancient times, the deputy general in the military ranks had a better say than a deputy general who led the army alone, the lieutenant.

Therefore, Zheng Cai did not give Zheng Zhiguan a chance to speak.

Because he knew that as long as he drew his sword and put it on Zheng Zhiguan's neck, Zheng Zhiguan would definitely repent and surrender. So, does Zheng Cai still have a chance?

Not only do you have no chance, but you will be dead when you go back.

The so-called "Don't do it, never stop, kill it!"

Sure enough, once Zheng Zhiguan died, the overall situation was settled.

Although Zheng Zhiguan was killed by Zheng Cai, as long as the people on the flagship do not resist, they can be regarded as accomplice.

In other words, either resist and be killed or followers.

It's like getting on a boat.

But this does not mean that people's hearts are in harmony.

Although it is on the same boat, since Zheng Cai can kill people and seize power, others can do it too.

Even if it was not Zheng Zhiguan's confidant, any main ship captain around the flagship could shoot a volley towards the flagship in this chaos, without even having to find excuses to say that it was a suppression of the rebellion. When he returned, Zheng Chenggong would reward him well.

Therefore, what Zheng Cai needs most at this time is to soothe people's hearts.

How to comfort?

Of course, we must obey the morale of the army and break through resolutely!

This is the psychological process of Zheng Cai's order to raid Wang Yilin's troops.

In Zheng Cai's mind, as long as he defeated Wang Yilin's army, then, if he turned around, he would still have an unknown victory or defeat in the Wusong Navy who was chasing him.

Even if you don’t want to fight again, you can calmly turn north and then turn southeast to the Fujian waters.

In that way, the soldiers have nothing to blame.

With this "complice", the soldiers under his command must follow him. In addition, Zheng Chenggong is not in Xiamen, and after returning, he can quickly control Xiamen and the surrounding waters and compete with Zheng Chenggong.

....

On this battlefield, I am afraid that only Wang Yilin and the soldiers of his eleven warships were wanted to fight to the death.

The soldiers brought out were more than half of the warships, and the powerful enemy still cruised in front of him without restraint.

Wang Yilin's eyes were blood red.

On the flagship, there was only a hoarse voice roaring, "Fire the fire... faster...you should be faster!"

In desperation, Wang Yilin pulled away the gunner in front of him and pushed himself up.

It is actually not difficult to share the same hatred of the enemy.

Especially after going to the battlefield and a fierce battle took place.

The hearts of soldiers will quickly condense into groups.

But this cohesion is short-lived and is affected by many factors, such as whether the main general lives and dies together, and whether there is the power to fight back, etc.

But Wang Yilin brought a good start and naturally followed many people.

At this time, the soldiers on the ten ordinary warships were unanimous to the outside world.

They stared at their blood-red eyes, loaded, fired, and then loaded at the fastest speed.

But in this way, can the eleven warships side guns really stop more than 60 large warships, and after dispersing, they can break through at the same time with a scale of nearly ten miles?

cannot!

I'm afraid even the Wusong Navy can't do it.

The Wusong Navy had plenty of time to set up the formation, calibrated the enemy's distance, carried out four-wheeled volleys, and only injured and sank more than ten ships.

Wang Yilin only has eleven ships and only two main battleships. With such strength, it is okay to cooperate with the Wusong Navy, but it is impossible to stand alone.

It was because Zheng Cai saw this that he had a certainty in his heart.

Otherwise, how dare he kill someone to seize power?

....

After the three rounds of artillery bombardment, only two enemy ships were sunk and three were injured, one of which caught fire.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was close to within six miles.

Zheng Cai has ordered a counterattack against Wang Yilin's troops with the first gun.

The Zheng family's main battleship has two first guns, one on the deck of the ship and the other on the second floor of the cabin.

The loading of this kind of gun is very special. It is not like a side gun. It has a gun mount cart. After firing the gun, it is dragged out from the gun hole for loading.

The loading of the bow gun is different. Its gun barrel has iron rings on both sides near the muzzle, which is called the gun nose.

There are gun ears near the tail to fix and adjust the elevation angle of the muzzle up and down.

After firing the gun, the four gunners will step forward, pull the gun down, and load it directly in the gun position.

Therefore, in a naval battle, if you are hit on the side of the side, it will basically not cause a death-destruction, but the bow is different, because the bow is piled with ammunition, and once you are hit, it will be a death-destruction.

Like the wooden warship at this time, it would not take too much ammunition to explode, but it would completely lose its combat effectiveness if a warship of nearly a thousand stones was destroyed.

At this time, Wang Yilin's warship was counterattacked by the Zheng family naval naval warship, and casualties began to occur.
