Speaking of which, when the pirate Liu Xiang saw the Ming general commanding fifty super battleships to rush up alone, he despised the idiot general very much. His firepower was not good, but he had a lot of ships, with more than 200 Everbright Fu ships and seven or eight hundred small boats. Therefore, he decided to rush up to surround these fifty battleships and then approach the capture of the ship in artillery fire. As long as he could capture these fifty battleships, it would be no problem to escape. They even had a little hope to turn defeat into victory!

Of course, these have a prerequisite, the prerequisite is that the Ming army general on the opposite side is really an idiot.

How could Zheng Zhihu be an idiot? He is certain to dare to rush up like this. First of all, these fifty battleships were equipped with two hundred elite troops of the Second Army of the Imperial Guards. In addition, the battleships themselves were equipped with combatants, and the back of the ships on both sides were densely packed with musketeers. He was not afraid of the pirates rushing over to seize the ship. In addition, the Ming Navy's naval guns were not as good as the Dutch naval guns in range, but in terms of firing rate, it was simply too terrifying. The speed of replacing the shells with this breech-type loading cannon does not take ten seconds, and the flintlock machine... Liu Xiang was destined to be a tragedy this time.

Zheng Zhihu didn't expect Liu Xiang to retaliate and surround them. Of course, whether Liu Xiang's head was pinched by the door or the donkey was kicked by the donkey, it was all his own business. He would not change his tactics because this guy rushed up on his own initiative. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was almost about 600 steps, he immediately ordered: "The whole person turned the rudder, turned the left, and the left guns were ready to fire."

The commander climbed up the mast and waved the flag. Fifty battleships drifted to the left neatly. The left side of the ship was aimed at the pirate ship that was swarming in. More than two thousand artillery fired at the same time, and the shells hit the pirate ship like raindrops.

Liu Xiang had known for a long time that the other party would definitely fire the fire, but he thought that at such a short distance, he could only survive after a few rounds of shells. As long as he approached the enemy ship, it would be useless. Therefore, he did not order a retreat, but rushed forward with all the pirate ships covering their heads.

The pirates were suffering heavy casualties. They were not driving thick battleships. Most of their "warships" were robbed merchant ships and fishing boats. How thick could the wooden board be? The shells of more than ten or twenty kilograms were smashed down quickly, which was a big hole.

It’s better for Liu Xiang and other pirate leaders. Their ships are at least Dafu ships. There is no big problem with one shot. Generally, pirate boats are basically the kind that gets into the water when they get shot, and the racks of the other shots will be dispersed. Moreover, they don’t have the high side of the ship to protect them. As soon as the shells flew over, they could directly smash a bunch of people to fly across the flesh. That situation is really terrible!

Of course, more than 2,000 shells could not hit all of them. In the environment of wandering at sea, and the pirate ships were moving all the time, it would be good to have a hit rate of 10%. Moreover, most of the shells hit those relatively large lucky ships. Only a few dozen of them could hit the small boats. It would be good to sink one or twenty small pirate ships in one round.

There were no propellers at that time, so the speed of the ship was not very fast, but it was only a quarter of an hour to rush over three or four miles away. Liu Xiang thought about how many rounds of shells they could eat at most, one or twenty small boats per round, and only one or two hundred ten rounds. He had seven or eight hundred small boats under his command, and he could bear the loss.

However, he soon became desperate. As soon as the first round of artillery shells of the Ming Navy fell, he had not even counted how many small boats he had lost. "Boom boom boom" The battleship of the Ming Navy sounded again, and another pile of black shells hit him!

"Impossible, how is this possible?" Liu Xiang screamed subconsciously. What a joke, does it take time to load ammunition? Is it possible that each Ming army cannon is equipped with two cannons!

He hadn't figured out what was going on yet. "Boom Boom Boom" roared again. The Ming army navy really didn't need time to load ammunition. There was a round in the blink of an eye, and another round in the blink of an eye.

After almost ten rounds of shells, Liu Xiang finally became desperate. What a f*ck. The Ming army's shooting speed would have to rush to the front of others. If one hundred rounds of shells were to be hit, let alone a small boat, even his lucky ship would be smashed apart!

He looked at the pirate ships that were smashed around him in horror, and shouted in a daze: "Hurry up, retreat, run to the right, and fight out!"

In fact, if he insisted on another round, he might change his mind, because the Ming army's naval guns were only equipped with ten sub-barrels, and the mother tube became red after firing ten guns. Therefore, after ten rounds, the Ming army's warships would have to change directions. If he rushed hard, he would be at most twenty rounds of artillery shells.

Zheng Zhihu was about to order the warship to turn around, but Liu Xiang retreated just right, so he ordered directly: "Change and chase after him."

The commander climbed up the mast and waved another flag. Fifty super battleships began to slowly turn directions. The bow of their ship was originally to the left, so it would take time to turn to the right. Liu Xiang took this eye on this and ordered all the pirates to escape to the right. But did they escape?

At this time, the Dafu ship transformed by the Ming army had formed an encirclement. Although there were only more than 200 Dafu ships on the right, there were more than 4,000 artillery pieces! Zheng Xing, who was in charge of command on the right, saw the pirate ship rushing towards this side, immediately ordered: "All warships adjust their direction, and turn the left ship side facing the pirate ship, and prepare to fire the artillery."

The commander climbed up the mast and waved the flag. More than 200 Dafu ships began to turn slightly, aiming the left side of the ship at the direction of the invading pirate ship. Immediately afterwards, "Boom Boom Boom" was another roar of countless artillery fire, and more than 2,000 shells were shelled at the pirate ships. Moreover, these Dafu ships were also firing continuously, one round in the blink of an eye, and another round in the blink of an eye.

Now Liu Xiang doesn't need to give the order. Anyway, it's over if you can't rush out. All the pirates rushed to the right without any chance, no matter how dense the artillery fire is, they will rush!

After ten consecutive rounds, the Ming army's artillery finally stopped. At this time, more than half of the pirate ship was left, and less than two miles away from the Ming army's big lucky ship on the right. Seeing this, Liu Xiang laughed wildly: "Hahaha, I thought they were the artillery gods. It turns out that it would be impossible to set up a dozen rounds. Humph, you have many artillery, but are there many people as me? I passed my order and rushed over directly and took their big ships. We don't want our small boats, and we threw them here to block the Ming army's warships behind. With these big ships, my strength is stronger, hahahahaha."

If it is normal, they may have snatched some of the Dafu ships, because the standard configuration of the Dafu ships of the Ming army is only more than 100 people per ship. In addition to those who control sails and fire artillery, each ship has only fifty musketeers, and more than 200 Dafu ships have only more than 10,000 musketeers. It is hard to say whether it can stop more than 30,000 pirates from seizing the ship. However, it is different now. There are eighty elite troops of the Second Army of the Imperial Guard on each Dafu ship. The pirates rushing up like this is simply seeking death!

Seeing the pirates surrounding him like crazy, Zheng Xing was not afraid. He just snorted disdainfully, and then ordered: "All musketeers are ready to fight. Our people guard the left side of the ship, the brothers of the guards guard the right side of the ship, and all the warships turn to the left and meet me."

The next one was a terrifying massacre. The pirates really thought they could steal the Ming army's ship. As soon as the two sides approached, they immediately pulled out the hook lock and threw it on the Ming army's ship. After the hook lock was hung, they crawled up desperately.

At this time, countless barrels suddenly stretched out from the Ming army's ship, and the bullet flew over like rain. The pirates fell into the sea like dumplings. For a moment, the sea water in several miles was dyed red, and there were pirates screaming and struggling on the sea surface everywhere!

How is this possible? Liu Xiang looked at all this in horror. He really couldn't understand how the Ming army's muskets and cannons were built. The cannons were blinking, and then another one in the blink of an eye. The musket was even more exaggerated, and the "slap" kept ringing, as if there was no need to load ammunition at all. What was going on with him? How could there be such muskets in this world!

Regardless of whether he thought about it or not, the firing rate of the Ming army musket was so fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the pirates who threw out the hook locks and were about to climb up to seize the ship were knocked into the sea. Almost all the pirates on the boat were cleared. There were only more than 200 Dafu ships with thousands of pirates left, holding bird guns there to fight back. Both sides were Dafu ships, and the height was similar. Although the Ming army's firepower was superior, it was impossible to kill all the pirates on the Fu ship. After all, they only showed their heads. In such a bumpy environment at sea, it was difficult to hit.

However, these pirates did not last long. A quarter of an hour later, the Ming army's fifty super battleships also surrounded. The water surface height of the battleships was much higher than that of the Fu Ship. It was very simple to hit a person within a distance of dozens of meters. Even if the sea surface was bumpy, it was just a matter of firing a few more shots.

The pirates on the lucky ship were gradually wiped out, and the Ming army began to throw out the hook lock, climbed onto the deck, and controlled the pirates' lucky ships.

Liu Xiang held the hilt of the knife in his right hand and grabbed a hand gun in his left hand and looked coldly at the Ming army rushing forward. His cruel posture was like a ferocious wolf who chose people to eat. The Ming army surrounding him did not dare to go forward to confiscate his weapons for a while!

The two sides had a stalemate for less than a stick of incense, and a hearty laugh suddenly sounded behind the crowd. Zheng Zhihu pushed the crowd away and walked to Liu Xiang and laughed: "Hahahaha, Lao Fifteen, I finally caught you today!"

It turned out to be Zheng Zhihu! Liu Xiang was so angry. If he had known that the general of the Ming army naval division was Zheng Zhihu, even if he was driving forward with only a super battleship, he would not have gone up to surround him! This guy is cunning. If you treat him as an idiot, then you will be idiot.

Liu Xiang stared at Zheng Zhihu and said angrily: "Second, you are so shameless. You are hiding your head and showing your tail. What a good man!"

Zheng Zhihu said inexplicably: "Whether you hide your head and tail, do you want to kill me everywhere you go? Are you not sick?"

Liu Xiang was speechless when he was speechless. He slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly pulled out his sword and wiped it on his neck!
