Chapter 958 Super super super large fire ship!

(0958)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

Whoever can persevere to the end will be the real winner. This is the most common sentence Zhang Zhun said. Persistence is an important condition for victory! Li Jicheng has enough reason to believe that if Zheng Chenggong does not take any other measures, he and his fleet will be destroyed on the water surface of the Yangtze River.

Suddenly, behind the Zheng family fleet, there were violent flames. These flames were completely different from those fires fired by the cannon. The flames fired by the cannon flashed and fleeting, but these flames were lasting and lasting.

"Commander, the enemy is going to set fire boats."

The staff officer whispered to remind Li Jicheng.

In the Navy of the Hu Ben Army, in addition to Li Jicheng, they all knew a lot about the attack methods of the Zheng family fleet. Seeing these firelights, a consultant immediately concluded that Zheng Chenggong was going to prepare for a fire attack. Those long-lasting firelights were burning fire ships.

"Precaution."

"Order the Cangshan ship to attack."

Li Jicheng nodded and said calmly.

Zheng Chenggong finally woke up and decided to take the fire attack method. Judging from the number of those fire lights, the first batch of fire ships should be quite large, and there are probably at least ten. If you guessed correctly, it should be the Phoenix Fire Ship, the Zheng family fleet's best-known phoenix fire ship.

In ancient legends, when the phoenix is ​​reborn, it will turn into a ball of flame, and then it will be reborn again. Compared with the legendary dragon, the phoenix is ​​no less beautiful. Zheng Zhilong used the phoenix to name his fire ship, and the meaning can be imagined.

In fact, from the intelligence perspective, we learned that the fire ships of the Zheng family fleet are all specially made. The structure of the ships and the burning objects they carry are particularly particular. When the Phoenix Fire Ship is burning, the fire is particularly fierce. If ordinary warships are approached by it, they will easily be ignited. In addition, the Phoenix Fire Ship burns for a long time and has a particularly strong destructive power.

The best way to deal with these fire ships is of course the Cangshan boat. The Phoenix Fire Ship is very small and fast. If a large warship approaches, it can only be burned. However, the Cangshan boat is different. The Cangshan boat is equally light and flexible. As long as you get close to the Phoenix Fire Ship, you will have a way to deal with them.

The Cangshan ships that retreated to Yangzhou have rejoined the battle, and the total number is 40 or 50. Because there is no war in the Bohai Bay, the Cangshan ships have no meaning there. Therefore, most of the more than 200 Cangshan ships of the Tiger Ben Navy are on the surface of the Yangtze River. Except for some of the intercepted upstream, the other Cangshan ships participated in the war.

After receiving the battle order, Cangshan ships moved lightly from the middle of the sword-tooth ship, and came to the front of the sword-tooth ship, preparing to intercept these fire ships. The most eye-catching equipment on these Cangshan ships were probably several Popeyes and specially designed flying boats.

Generally, fire ships are not manipulated by personnel. After being released, they can only go downstream and float with the waves. If there is any change in the middle, their original owner can only watch. Basically, after the fire ship is released, it is like a child that no one wants, and it will do whatever others want.

Zhang Zhun’s way of dealing with fire ships is the allusion of burning the Red Cliff. When he was bored, several people blew water, and some people accidentally talked about how to deal with these fire ships. In fact, as long as you prepare in advance, it is really not difficult to deal with these fire ships. How difficult is it to deal with a group of small boats that have lost control?

The sailors of the Hu Ben Army can just use a flying bulb to hook the burning fire ship and then slowly drag it over to eliminate the hidden dangers of the fire ship. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with a Cangshan boat hooking five or six fire ships. When the fire ship slowly burns on its own, it will be fine if it burns all.

If there are too many fireboats, you can send someone to use iron pliers to sink the bottom of the boat, and the river water continues to pour in, and the fireboat will gradually sink. Of course, if you think this method is too troublesome, it is OK to use water to extinguish the fire, but it only takes a little more time.

In general, when the Hu Ben Army occupied the absolute main force, the Zheng family fleet's fire attack was not very effective. Of course, the Hu Ben Army Navy should not be careless. In case of any accident, the situation would be very bad.

Even if those phoenix fire ships burned a hundred ships, they were worth only a few hundred taels of silver. If the Tiger Army Navy lost a sword-tooth ship, it would be tens of thousands of taels of silver. The Phoenix Fire Ship with a dozen taels of silver was exchanged for a sword-tooth ship worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. No matter how you look at it, the Zheng family fleet took advantage.

What's more, the Tiger and Ben Navy is lined up at the front, but each big treasure like the Dragon God Ship is worth 20,000 taels of silver! If a Dragon God Ship is burned by Zheng Chenggong, even if Li Jicheng destroys Zheng Chenggong, he will definitely be scolded by Zhang Zhun after he returns.

Sure enough, not long after, fifteen or sixteen fire ships went downstream. In order to prevent being destroyed by the artillery fire of the Hu Ben Army, these phoenix fire ships were distributed very scattered. The blazing fires shone the entire river red. The sun in the sky had long lost its glory.

The Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Army Navy immediately went upstream, like a group of hungry wolves descending the mountain rushed towards these phoenix fire ships. The distance between the two sides was about three or four hundred meters. The Phoenix Fire Ship that went downstream would take at least half an hour to reach the position of the Hu Ben Army Dragon God Ship. This half hour journey was completely the world of the Cangshan Ship.

"cover!"

"cover!"

"cover!"

Zheng Chenggong shouted hurriedly.

Of course, he understood what these Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Army Navy were going to do. He could clearly see the Popeyes of the Hu Ben Army and the flying bulbs in the hands of the Popeyes. Such weapons made Zheng Chenggong feel very depressed, and he felt that his plan had been cracked again. All fools knew that if all the fire ships were hooked by them, the fire ship would be invalid.

However, using red cannons to deal with these Cangshan ships is even worse. Using red cannons to bombard Cangshan ships is a real cannon to kill mosquitoes. Apart from wasting shells, it will not have any effect. A giant like the Dragon God Ship may be able to hit some, but facing Cangshan ship, no matter how skilled the gunner is, he can do nothing.

If the three-masted gunship turns the sideways and fires, there is a greater chance of eliminating these Cangshan ships. The three-masted gunship has dozens of Flanger cannons on the sideways. If it is fired continuously, some Cangshan ships should be able to be destroyed.

Sure enough, after dozens of basins of water were poured over, the fire ship was completely finished. After the fire stopped, everything was seen was pitch black. The tung oil, vegetable oil and other things inside could no longer continue to burn after soaking in water.

"put!"

Looking at the fire ship that was burned to the dark, Hu Xiaobin waved his hand.

Popeye let go of the flying flask, and the dark fireboat was released.

This process, to describe it, seems to take a long time, but in fact, the whole process is only a few minutes. In just a few minutes, a Phoenix Fire Ship was dealt with like this.

In addition to Hu Xiaobin, the other Cangshan boats also successfully removed all the fire ships. The original raging fires were all extinguished. The number of Cangshan boats in the Hu Ben Navy was indeed very large. Dozens of Cangshan boats were distributed on the Yangtze River, enough to fill all the fire ships.

Of course, in terms of the Zheng family fleet, there are still phoenix fire ships being put down. Sometimes there are a few, sometimes more than a dozen, and at most, twenty even released at once. However, all these released fire ships were eaten by the Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Army. With the lightness and flexibility of the Cangshan ship, it is indeed not difficult to deal with these fire ships that are not controlled by anyone.

Under normal circumstances, fire ships are specially made, not to say that just ignite a ship, it can serve as a fire ship. Without enough tung oil, rapeseed oil, or tincture oil, the fire cannot burn at all. Moreover, the bottom and hull of the fire ship must be specially made. In other words, the number of fire ships in the Zheng family fleet cannot be too many.

Sure enough, the speed at which the Zheng family fleet released the fire ships was far less than that of the Hu Ben Navy's Navy. When all about one hundred fire ships were released, all the fire ships of the Zheng family fleet were used up.

"Grandpa Six, let's get a big boat!"

When Zheng Chenggong found that the effect of the Phoenix Fire Ship was not very good, he felt depressed and dissatisfied. The Cangshan ship of the Hu Ben Army was actually equipped with such weapons specifically for dealing with the fire ships. He did not expect that a hundred Phoenix Fire Ship was hooked up like this, and none of them worked. It was indeed too much of a blow to people. However, Zheng Chenggong was unwilling to fail.

Fire attack has always been the strength of the Zheng family fleet, and he will not give up this strength easily. The current terrain is too beneficial to fire attack. Since the power of the Phoenix Fire Ship is not enough, Zheng Chenggong is planning to create a more powerful one, at least, and cannot easily hook the Cangshan Ship. As long as the fire attack is effective, it will be enough for the Hu Ben Navy to drink a pot.

"Big ship?"

Zheng Shouyuan was a little hesitant.

The fire ship was ineffective, which made Zheng Shouyuan feel a headache. It was so frustrating that he could not use fire attacks with such a favorable terrain. Zheng Shouyuan felt that he was also necessary to improve the fire attack methods. But is the large fire ship useful?

Since these Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Navy can hook ordinary fire ships, they can naturally hook large ships. Unless they are too big to easily overturn the Cangshan ship. However, in that case, at least an armed merchant ship must be ignited. It is really ridiculous to ignite an armed merchant ship.

"Dry!"

Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate at all.

Although he sometimes had short-circuits and couldn't find the most correct way, he was still very decisive when he was awake. If he was defeated this time, the warships he brought would either sink to the bottom of the river or be captured by the Hu Ben Army. Instead of doing this, it would be better to burn them all so that the Hu Ben Army would not get anything.

"Prepare ten armed merchant ships and pour the remaining turtle oil, tung oil and oil production on it! In addition, put a lot of mud and sand on the bottom of the ship to press the ship!"

Zheng Chenggong shouted fiercely.

Since you are going to have a big one, try to be as big as possible. Ten burning armed merchant ships are enough for the Hu Ben Navy to drink a pot. Putting a large amount of mud and sand on the bottom of the ship can increase the weight of the armed merchant ship. Even if several Cangshan ships are on board together, they cannot hold a heavy armed merchant ship.

Zheng Chenggong could almost expect that ten burning armed merchant ships broke into the warship fleet of the Hu Ben Navy and ignited the sky-sky fire. As the fire burned, powder barrels and other explosions exploded, bursting out deafening loud noises. After the explosion, the river was covered in chaos, and no warships of the Hu Ben Navy could be seen anymore...

However, in order to allow the ignited armed merchant ship to go down smoothly, the position of the three-masted gunship in front must be adjusted. Otherwise, the first thing that the fire on the armed merchant ship is the Zheng family fleet itself. So, while preparing for the super-large fireship on the one hand, Zheng Chenggong began to order the three-masted gunship to pull it away to both sides of the river surface, revealing the gap in the middle.

"What does Zheng Chenggong want to do?"

Of course, the Hu Ben Navy soon discovered the movement of the Zheng family fleet. Some staff officers and colleagues looked at each other and said suspiciously.

"I guess something is going to happen."

There is a cautious answer from a staff member.

Li Jicheng held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully looked at the movements of the Zheng family fleet. The Zheng family fleet was preparing to turn the armed merchant ship into a fire ship, but Li Jicheng did not see it for the time being. He estimated that Zheng Chenggong was preparing to release ships with horns installed.

For safety reasons, Li Jicheng decided to remove a sword-toothed ship in the middle and also empty the waterway in the middle of the Yangtze River. In case an enemy ship with a collision angle crashes down from the upstream, it can also empty the waterway in the middle of the river and let the other party go.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The warships on both sides were still firing continuously, and the shelling was very fierce.

However, the attention of the commanders of both sides was no longer on the shelling. Zheng Chenggong was concerned about whether the ten super-large fire ships could achieve the goal of burning the camp. Li Jicheng was concerned about what the opponent was doing.

Suddenly, Li Jicheng saw the fire light vaguely jumping behind the Zheng family fleet from the Qianli Mile Mile Mile. At the beginning, the fire light was a little weak, as if it was an ordinary phoenix fire ship, but soon, the fire light immediately turned into a sky-sky fire, illuminating half of the sky. Obviously, this was an unprecedented super-large fire ship.

"Oh shit!"

Li Jicheng cursed quietly in his heart.
