Chapter 402 Shi Lang fled to seek the moon
Barrel combat is the most test of water combat skills.
The close forces were fought, the jumping gang fights, and the sword was bloody.
Shi Lang was originally a pirate, so he is certainly familiar with the battle on the sidelines.
But the opponent he is facing now is Zheng Chenggong.
Shi Lang was still a little nervous.
From a distance, the warships slightly further away were already targeted by the Ming army.
The two ships collided with each other and shaking violently, and some soldiers standing on the deck were thrown out.
The soldiers of the Zheng family quickly jumped onto the Qing army's ship. They had already prepared for hand-to-hand combat and pulled out their swords to slash at the Qing soldiers.
"Kill the enemy!"
Naturally, they hated Shi Lang and the others very much, and the soldiers under Shi Lang were naturally hated by them.
After a while of slashing, the Qing soldiers retreated to the back of the deck.
The Ming thief is really not a human being, he is so cruel!
The Qing soldiers scolded them in their hearts, but they still had to fight with one's teeth.
You can't let them go just because they retreated, right?
"Kill the Ming thief!"
The Qing soldiers who were forced to the desperate situation rushed up to fight with the soldiers of the Zheng family army.
Soldiers fell from time to time between the sword and the shadows.
The artillery fire in the distance instantly smashed the mast into two sections, and the turbulent oil instantly lit the wooden deck.
The ship instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The two sides did not mean to stop, and they fought each other with their lives.
There are not so many flower boards, and every move is aimed at taking human life.
Both the Ming army and the Qing army understood that this was a battle they could not afford to lose.
More and more Ming army warships and Qing army warships leaned together, and the soldiers skillfully began to jump into the gang to fight, and the scene was once very chaotic.
From Zheng Chenggong's perspective, we can clearly take all this into our eyes.
At least so far, Zheng Chenggong is still very confident.
He had already held this battle in his hand.
Both sides did not hesitate to suppress the ammunition with artillery, as if they wanted to wipe out all the ammunition in this battle.
From time to time, the Ming and Qing warships sank into the river. Some witty soldiers jumped down in advance and swam towards the adjacent ships with a board.
There is no doubt that those who can be sailors are all people with excellent water qualities.
However, in this melee, it is indeed not easy to climb onto a new ship after falling into the water and continue fighting.
"Go to die!"
An Iron Man soldier cut off the head of a Qing soldier in front of him with one sword, and then cut off another Qing soldier in half.
The big knife they used was similar to the Mo Dao, with a very sharp blade, which was not an exaggeration to say that it was cut into iron like mud.
The Qing soldiers' armor did not play a role in protecting their bodies at all, and they were like cotton in front of the Iron Man Army.
"Enter!"
One knife cut and another, and the Iron Man Army seemed to never be tired.
Many of them died at Shi Lang's hands, and naturally hated Shi Lang.
At this moment, bringing all emotions in, like killing a god.
God blocks the gods and kills the Buddhas. If the heaven destroys me, I will destroy the heavens!
"Kill Shi Lang to boost the Ming Dynasty!"
Amid the deafening slogans, the Qing soldiers retreated step by step, which was not enough to kill the Iron Man Army.
They can still fight back and forth with ordinary Zheng family soldiers, but in front of the Iron Man Army, they are like a child who has not grown up, and they are not enough to see them at all!
Shi Lang was very helpless when he saw this.
He was able to build enough ships and train enough sailors, but he was unable to build an army comparable to the Iron Man Army in a short time.
Because he knew very well that the cost of training this Iron Man Army alone was far from what he could afford.
In addition, the training time is insufficient and the soldiers' technical and tactical skills are not in place. When Shi Lang really fights, he finds that he has no choice but to do anything to the latte army.
It's hard, it's really hard.
Shi Lang noticed that Ma Fengzhi was staring at him, and it was obvious that Ma Fengzhi also felt that his side had little chance of winning this battle.
But he had never expressed his opinion, obviously hoping that this would be said from Shi Lang so that Shi Lang would take the blame.
How can Shi Lang not see it?
But he felt it was a little earlier to order the retreat now.
Although Zheng Chenggong took the initiative and advantage on the battlefield, Shi Lang may not have no chance to turn the tables.
"Send the order and order the warship to hit the opponent's flagship!"
Shi Lang made a very bold decision in the face of the dilemma.
In this case, if the Qing army wants to turn the tables, it is no longer possible to make a profit and lose money, and it must behead the opponent's head coach.
If the Qing army's warship could hit and sink the flagship where Zheng Chenggong was located, then the Zheng family navy would definitely be in chaos.
By then Shi Lang will have a chance to turn the tables.
Of course, Shi Lang also knew that this possibility was not high, but he had to give it a try.
...
...
Zheng Chenggong immediately discovered Shi Lang's attempt.
The thief's wolf ambition is obvious, and he actually wants to turn the defeat in such a sinister way.
"I ordered all the artillery to bombard the coming ship."
Zheng Chenggong did not think that the Qing army's warships could break through his blockade.
With the shaking artillery, if the Qing army warships could still rush over, Zheng Chenggong could find a piece of tofu to kill him.
In order to snipe the Qing army warships, Zheng Chenggong mobilized all the artillery that could be mobilized, and the muzzles were aimed at the incoming ship unanimously!
Amid the rumbling roar, one Qing army warship after another sank one after another.
Zheng Chenggong was very happy, but he vaguely felt something was wrong.
After a closer look, why the Qing army's flagship is getting farther and farther away.
No, Shi Lang wants to escape!
It turned out that Shi Lang was trying to attack Zheng Chenggong by trying to do something wrong. At that moment, Shi Lang had already decided to escape!
What a treacherous thief!
"Chasing, don't let the thief go!"
Zheng Chenggong almost roared.
...
...
Of course Shi Lang wanted to run away. He ordered the warship to actively hit Zheng Chenggong's flagship, which was his last fight. Seeing that the warships were sunk by the Ming army, wouldn't they be dead if they didn't run away?
If it was in Zheng Chenggong's hands, Shi Lang could imagine what torture Zheng Chenggong would use to torture him.
By then, Shi Lang would really be unable to survive or die.
Ma Fengzhi was naturally happy to see this.
Since Shi Lang took the blame, he could wash away it cleanly.
At that time, even if the court wants to blame, he will blame Shi Lang, the chief general. He, as a deputy general, will be punished at most, and will be fined for the previous year's salary, which will not hurt or itch.
Now it seems that he is still a little reckless in making decisions.
The Ming army was more resilient than they thought, and Zheng Jing also performed well. At the most difficult time, he led his troops to withstand the Qing army's offensive.
When Zheng Chenggong led his troops back, the situation was completely different. The Qing soldiers had no power to resist. The combat power of both sides was almost not on the same level.
At this time, there is really no other way except to escape.
However, this made Ma Fengzhi's neutral attitude unable to be maintained, and he could only be loyal to the Qing court to the end.
