The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

In the two British and Dutch naval battles that have taken place, the size of the fleet mobilized by the British and Dutch sides is extremely amazing.

A fleet of such a size, whether it is the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, can easily be assembled.

But, that was in mainland Europe!

At present, on this three-acre land in East Asia, this fleet of the Ming army is absolutely invincible.

Whether it's the Qing court, or Korea, or Japan, or those countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

Even if their naval strength is added up, they are definitely not the opponent of the Ming army fleet in front of them!

It is this that makes Van der Laan and Brown despair.

Facing Ming's fleet, they are really powerless to resist!

Shi Lang gritted his teeth and said.

"Pass down the order, let the fire attack ship get ready to raid the Ming fleet!"

Shi Lang had already planned how to face the navy of the Ming army.

Fire attack is the method he came up with!

Zheng Zhilong, father and son Zheng Chenggong, were able to rely on fire attack tactics to win the battles against the Dutch repeatedly, defeating the strong with the weak.

Now, he, Shi Lang, might be able to replicate the miracle created by the Zheng family and his son!

The fleet of the Ming army lined up and pressed towards the port of Zhoushan.

The navy of the Qing army began to raise the sails, pull out the anchor, and drove out of the port.

The speedboats of the Qing army hung full sails and came towards the fleet of the Ming army.

Zheng Chenggong put down the binoculars and spoke to Zhu Hongyu who was on the side to report.

"Your Highness, Qing Lu is probably planning to attack with fire!"

Seeing what the Qing army was thinking, Zheng Chenggong didn't panic at all.

Speaking of Huo Gong, he is the ancestor!
When the enemy has the advantage in firepower, fire attack, to put it bluntly, is to exchange human life for victory.

You know, when the Zheng family used the fire attack to deal with the Dutch sailing battleships, the Zheng family had an absolute advantage in strength.

Dozens of hundreds of ships, large and small, besieged a Dutch sailing battleship!

Combined fire attack, plus shelling, plus jump gang!
It is impossible for the Dutch not to rush to the street!
However, the current battle situation is that the Ming army has an absolute superiority in force, an absolute advantage in the tonnage of warships, and an absolute advantage in artillery power.

Then the Qing army was blocked in the port.

Judging from the current situation, Shi Lang's fire attack has no possibility of success at all!
As the fire attack ships of the Qing army gradually approached the fleet of the Ming army, while the artillery of the Ming army opened fire, small boats were also released to intercept the fire attack ships of the Qing army.

A simple rocket launcher is set up on the boat!

Prepare to wait for the distance between the two sides to get closer, and use a salvo of rockets to deal with the fire attack ships of the Qing army.

boom!Boom!

The sound of shelling resounded across the sea.

The naval guns of the Ming army began to pour firepower, and the shells fell towards the fire attack ships of the Qing army as if they didn't need money.

The red hot bullets hit the fire attack ship of the Qing army, and in just an instant, the fire attack ship filled with oil, hay and other fire starters instantly burst into flames.

The flames soared into the sky, and the black smoke billowed!
In the blink of an eye, the fire attack ship hit by the shell was engulfed in the fire.

The wreck sank to the bottom of the sea!
Solid bullets shot at the ships of the Qing army overwhelmingly.

Click!Click!Click!

The solid artillery shells flew, and the sawdust of the ship hit by the shells was scattered, and large holes were broken on the side of the ship.

The sea water poured into the hull, and the hull gradually sank!

After rifling the artillery and installing a flintlock, the range and accuracy of the Ming army artillery have been greatly improved.

The two sides were separated by two or 300 meters, but the naval guns of the Ming army still caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army.

The Huogong Fleet, which Shi Lang regarded as his trump card, was hit hard in the blink of an eye!

Then, under the obstruction of the speedboat of the Ming army, the fire attack speedboat of the Qing army was completely blocked.

call out!shhhhh!

There was an ear-piercing sound of piercing through the air, and rockets fell towards the Qing army's fire attack fleet.

Cannonballs hit the fire attack ships of the Qing army one after another, and amidst the rumbling explosions, the Qing army ships were engulfed in flames.

Shi Lang looked at the scene in front of him in horror, his whole body trembling slightly.

Looking at the Ming army fleet that was gradually approaching, he seemed to see the scene where the navy of the Qing Dynasty was severely damaged and even wiped out.

"Breakthrough!"

"Spread out and break through with all your strength!"

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Shi Lang made a decisive decision and shouted loudly.

As soon as the flag of the Qing army's fleet was ordered to change, each of the Qing army's warships gave up their plan to fight in formation and compete with the Ming army.

Start with ships as the basic unit, ready to scatter and break through!

If the navy of the Qing army is really hard-headed, they must fight the navy of the Ming army and compete.

Then, waiting for their end, they must be severely injured or even wiped out.

However, if the Qing army navy chooses to persuade a wave first, and then disperse to break through.

Although the fleet of the Ming army blocked the port, it was not so easy to wipe out the Qing army.

In the end, many warships of the Qing army will definitely escape in the chaos!
Duolong grabbed Shi Lang, and asked in a serious tone.

"Admiral Shi, if the navy just withdraws like this, what will happen to the soldiers and horses on Zhoushan Island?!"

The navy division of the Qing court has pulled anchor, but the land division of the Qing court is still repairing in the Qing army camp on Zhoushan Island.

If the navy pulls out the anchor at this time, the land forces deployed by the Qing government in Zhoushan may be surrounded and wiped out by the Ming army on Zhoushan Island!

The Ming army didn't even need to attack, as long as the water division cut off the internal and external traffic of Zhoushan Island.

The Qing army on Zhoushan Island is about to die!

Doron gritted his teeth and said.

"Admiral Shi!"

"You have to know that the people on Zhoushan Island are almost all elite soldiers from the green battalion in Jiangbei and Jiangnan!"

"There are more than a thousand Eight Banners stationed in Jiangning!"

"If we abandon them, we will never be able to explain to the court!"

If the elite of the Green Battalion in the south of the Yangtze River, together with more than a thousand Jiangning Eight Banners, would have been completely wiped out by Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the official titles of Shi Lang and Duolong, it is still unknown whether they can keep their heads.

Shi Lang shook off Duolong's hand, and spoke with a very firm tone, unquestionably.

"It's too late to organize the soldiers and horses on the island to board the ship and evacuate!"

"If the navy of our army breaks through the siege now, perhaps some warships and sailors may be able to highlight the encirclement of the bandits."

"But if our army continues to delay in the port, I'm afraid it will be completely blocked in the port by Ming thieves, and no one even the navy will be able to break out!"

"The harm between the two powers is the lesser, we must make a decision!"

Facing Shi Lang's staring eyes, Duolong's expression kept changing, but he still spoke.

"At the very least! At the very least, bring over a thousand Jiangning Eight Banners on the island!"

For the Qing court, it doesn't matter how many Luying died, as long as the Eight Banners are not damaged, it is not a big problem.

The Qing court would not care about the lives of a group of Han untouchables!

Shi Lang shook his head and said.

"That's too late!"

"Ming thief's navy is about to completely block the port."

While Shi Lang was arguing with Duolong, the sailing battleships led by Van der Laan and Brown pulled anchor and sailed out of the port.

Catastrophe is imminent, as foreigners, it is natural for them to escape by themselves.

So they won't continue to grind with the Qing army in the port!
