The artillery roared, and the two sides carried out a tentative blow.

Neither Zheng Chenggong nor Zheng Sanhu thought of eating the other party in one bite, but was prepared for a protracted battle.

Zheng Chenggong's advantage is that he has a water camp to rely on, while Zheng Sanhu's advantage is that the navy is more flexible and unrestricted.

There is no doubt that the two sides are fighting against spears and shields.

As a son of the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong has been influenced by his father since childhood, and has undergone systematic training, and is well aware of the Zheng family's combat methods.

The reason why the Zheng Navy is powerful is that it can be opened, tidy, loose or tight.

In the battle of tough battles, the Zheng family army can show a devastating toughness. In the defense of wars, the Zheng family army can be free from leaks.

Judging from Zheng Sanhu's current performance, he wants to fight a tough battle. However, Zheng Chenggong's defense is very strict, and Zheng Sanhu has not found an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Ningbo Water Village is built according to the terrain, and the village entrance is very small. If Zheng Sanhu attacked the navy's warship formation, it is difficult to unfold, and he will not be able to exert his advantage in distributing troops.

Of course he understood this, so he only ordered the navy to cruise and shell the outside world.

It looks extremely lively, but in fact it does not pose much threat to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong is well aware of this.

But he was not in a hurry, but decided to take action steadily.

This is just like a siege battle. It is so anxious that the siege party is. What is the rush to defend the city?

Relying on the water camp to defend yourself can minimize your own losses and consume and kill the enemy. This is the best result for the Ming army.

As for what to do when he went out of the camp and fought the rebels with the decisive battle, Zheng Chenggong had never thought about it.

That's just for the sake of reputation and excitement.

Zheng Chenggong is not a child who would not make such a mistake.

Even if you really go out to meet the enemy, it will be after you severely defeated Zheng Sanhu, which will minimize the losses of the Denglai Navy.

Zheng Chenggong had previously had a fight with Zheng Sanhu on Jiushan Island and knew that this person was an experienced veteran.

The more you face such a veteran, the more you can't be anxious.

When you are anxious, you fall into his rhythm and are controlled by others everywhere.

If you play steadily and force the opponent to sit still, you will win most of the time.

The navy commanded by Zheng Sanhu this time is significantly stronger than the last time.

Whether it is the size of the hull or the equipment of the artillery, it is definitely second to none.

A navy of this size is definitely an invincible existence on the sea.

But the same thing is true. Zheng Sanhu's navy in a narrow area cannot play his advantage unless he rushes to the entrance of the water village regardless of everything.

But it is obvious that Zheng Sanhu doesn't plan to do this now.

The sound of cannons shook the sky, but it was more like hitting the sea and splashing water. If you want to describe the current situation on the battlefield in one sentence, it would be that the thunder sounded loud and the raindrops were small.

Both sides were cautious and reserved, and did not use all their strength.

After conducting a round of experiments, Zheng Chenggong discovered that Zheng Sanhu's navy was full of large ships but lacked small ships, so he couldn't help but have some conspiracy.

There are many sailors that can be carried by large ships and have strong combat power, but their disadvantages are also obvious.

That is, the steering is slow and not flexible enough.

This issue was considered at the beginning of the establishment of the Denglai Navy, because it was equipped with enough large lucky ships and wide ships, and also equipped with a certain number of small boats, such as long boats and fast crabs.

This kind of boat can play an important role without being conspicuous at critical moments.

While observing the situation carefully, Zheng Chenggong secretly wondered if the boat was filled with dry firewood and ignited the navy rushing towards Zheng Sanhu, would he get unexpected results?

He was still hesitating, but he didn't know that the wind direction changed soon, and the strong wind roared towards Zheng Sanhu's Navy.

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed.

I really want to sleep, someone handed the pillow. God is so cooperative.

He immediately ordered people to prepare enough dry firewood and put it on the long boat and fast crabs.

The officers and soldiers of the Denglai Navy Division were very strong in execution. Soon after the military order was issued, the boat was filled with dry firewood.

Zheng Chenggong instructed the navy officers and soldiers to rush towards the rebels with this wind, light a fire when they were about to arrive at the gate of the village, and then jump into the sea to escape at the right time.

Soon, more than a dozen long boats and fast crabs were ready and set off with the momentum of the cold and heroes of Yishui left and never returned.

The gate of the Shuizhai Village opened, and the officers and soldiers on the boat also lit the dry firewood on the boat as soon as possible.

Zheng Sanhu was stunned when he saw the door of the Shuizhai Village opened.

What is Zheng Chenggong doing? He actively sells his flaws?

Before he could figure it out, he saw a raging fire ignited from the boats rushing out of the water village.

When Zheng Sanhu was connected with the newly changed wind direction, he suddenly realized it.

Zheng Chenggong wants to use fire to attack.

Fire attacks are common in history, and they are also used in water wars.

However, there are many restrictions on fire attack, and they cannot be used without the right time, place and people.

Now the wind direction suddenly changes, this is the time. One man at the entrance of the Shuizhai Village should be able to pass tens of thousands of men, which is a good place.

As for people and fear, it is the great justice occupied by the court.

Although it was a long distance away, Zheng Sanhu could feel the determination of the officers and soldiers rushing towards him and couldn't help but gasp.

Terrible, this is really scary.

Now that his navy is all crowded together, if the fire ships really rush into the navy formation, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zheng Sanhu immediately ordered: "Change, turn around quickly."

It’s just that it’s not easy to turn around a large lucky ship.

Zheng Sanhu's military order was issued for a long time, and some lucky ships had only half turned.

At this moment, the fire ship that was walking with the wind had already roared and rushed directly into the rebel formation.

Although the lucky ship is big, it is also a wooden structure after all.

Wood is the most afraid of fire.

Now the fire is extremely strong under the wind, and several lucky ships are ignited in an instant.

Seeing this, Zheng Sanhu was so angry that his teeth itched.

how so?

He obviously took the initiative to put pressure on the water village, but how could he be put on one side?

If he continues to fight like this, he will be seriously injured.

"Scatter, spread out quickly!"

Fortunately, the ships under his command were only close and not tied together, so it was still possible to disperse this time.

Large lucky ships slowly dispersed. Although some ships near the water village were ignited, most of them were still preserved.

After all, it was a good wind, and the boat sailed quickly, but the big boat was not slow either.

Most of the blessed ships quickly sailed out of the dangerous area under the sails, and the blessed ship where Zheng Sanhu was also fled.

Looking at the thick smoke and surging flames in the distance, Zheng Sanhu exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

Some blessed ships have been burned and sunk into the sea.

Some crew members jumped into the sea in advance before the shipwreck and were swimming desperately at themselves.

They are all people who are familiar with water, but they seem so small and helpless in this sea.

It's so dangerous, it's really dangerous.

If he hesitated for a moment and let the fire spread, even the gods would be unable to save them.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger. If the lucky ships are ignited one after another, the entire army will be destroyed.

Zheng Sanhu clenched his fists and cursed hatred in his heart. The little boy, who was ignorant of the world, used such a vicious trick.

When I regroup and rush back, I will definitely slaughter Ningbo Water Village without leaving any armor!
