Boom! Thick water columns soared into the sky! The sea water stormed as the shells fell and slapped the small warships rushing towards the Fuliao Fleet, shaking!

The front of a small fishing boat was hit by a shell, and the fragile fishing boat smashed a hole, and the surging sea water poured into the fishing boat in an instant. The pirates on the fishing boat jumped into the water in panic and swam backwards.

If it is a large warship, it can resist the dense artillery fire of the Fu Liao fleet and get close to the main force of the fleet. However, these small ships that are not usually used as main warships, and if they are hit by a terrifying shell of 24 pounds, they will not last a few shots.

Zheng Zhilong looked coldly at about two hundred small warships' almost suicide attacks. Small ships were sunk within a distance of one thousand meters of death, and the speed and number of sunk far exceeded his estimate. It would be better to say that the number and power of the Fu Liao army's artillery exceeded everyone's expectations!

"Ignite in advance!" More and more of these small ships were sunk by the Fuliao Fleet, and the losses were heavy. Zheng Zhilong issued a fire attack order when the small ship was only 100 meters away from Zheng Zhilong's fleet. This distance, with the bulkiness of the large warship, was absolutely impossible to avoid!

The pirates on the ship were ordered to ignite the straw and tinder on the ship with the torch in their hands, then turned around and jumped away from the ship, and jumped into the vast sea. Everything left was decided by the wind and waves!

Two hundred small warships caught fire one by one, burning wildly, turning into balls of flames on the sea. From a bird's eye view from a high altitude, the two hundred fire ships gathered towards the main force of the Fu Liao fleet in a fan shape. Once the fire ships were brought into contact with the main battleships of the Fu Liao army, the ships would burn!

"The boats stepped forward and formed the first isolation belt." Nelson commanded more than a dozen small boats following the main fleet to cross the main fleet and intercept the fire ships.

These small boats follow near the main fleet to carry out patrols and protect the main warships. Now it is time to sacrifice them.

The crew members on more than a dozen small boats knew their mission, left the fleet, and stood alone in front of the fleet, forming a row. After breaking down, they were ready for sacrifice.

"Stop them, one, two, three!" The sailors on the boat worked together to hold wooden pillars thick with thighs and stretched out the boat, intending to use wooden pillars to stop the fireboat from approaching.

The wooden pillars were sprayed with soil in advance to prevent the wooden pillars from burning rapidly due to flames.

Boom! The fire boat crashed hard into the wooden post that stretched out from the boat. The huge impact force made the boat shake violently! The fire boat behind moved closer and was blocked by the blocked fire boat in front and hit a piece, forming a larger fireball.

Only a dozen small boats that suddenly appeared blocked dozens of fire ships, and in a short time, the small boats could not spread on the small boat due to the blockage of wooden pillars.

But even so, dozens of fire ships broke through the first isolation zone and rushed along the waves to battleships such as Victory.

"We're next!" The battleship and frigate's lower deck also extended wooden pillars to isolate the fire ship and the battleship.

"Fire the gun!" The fire ships cannot burn the battleships, frigates and other main gunships. The cannons on these gunships calmly eliminate the fire ships floating on the sea one by one! The most effective way to deal with fire ships is to completely sink the fire ships with their ferocious cannons!

Zheng Zhibao, who led the fireboat, swam towards the main force of the pirate coalition like a white fish. Behind it was a sea of ​​fire he created. While swimming, he looked behind him and saw a full range of fire and thick smoke covering the sea area. The rippling sea surface reflected a fiery red light.

It should be successful. Although shells fell from time to time on the nearby sea surface, Zheng Zhibao felt very relieved about his successful completion of the tasks assigned by his elder brother.

Zheng Zhilong, who was outside the site, looked as if he was a dish. It seemed that the Fu Liao army had long been on guard against fire attacks, otherwise it would not have been so calm. Moreover, the artillery of the Fu Liao army fleet was too cruel, and most of the fire ships would probably be sunk!

After the fire ship tactics failed, the war with the warships in his hands was already half lost.

"What should we do?" Shi Daxuan's face was pale. Seeing more than 200 fireboats burned down, and even some of the results were not obtained, he was sunk by cannons. He was in a very complicated mood and looked at Zheng Zhilong helplessly.

"We took the plane up and fought them in close combat, which was our only chance to win. If they were allowed to completely clean up the fire ship, we would not be able to fight them at all." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Chief, I'll listen to you!" Shi Daxuan bit his lip and said firmly.

The main force of Shibazhi, who made up his mind, also began to act and followed the fire ship to fight towards the Fuliao Fleet, and wanted to burn together with the Fuliao Fleet!

"Even when it is necessary, we burn our large warships and exchange their lives for their lives!" Zheng Zhilong, in despair, followed the ship and wanted to bet on the fate of Shibazhi! More than 200 small ships, even though they were messy and diverse ships, they were all part of Zheng Zhilong's capital!

After a gambler loses half of his net worth, the first thing he thinks is not to stop, but to throw the remaining principal into the bet and give it a try!

"General General, Zheng Zhilong is already crazy. He still has to rush forward in this situation. Do we want to fight side by side with them?" The official of the Ming Navy saw that all the main forces of Shibazhi were taking a gamble after the fire ship offensive ended and threw all the ships into the battlefield, so he asked the Fujian General.

"I and Zheng Zhilong fought on the southeast coast for several years, and I wished to catch him and behead him, but today I am a colleague with him and promised to fight side by side with him. Now, how can we retreat easily? We also bet on it," said Fujian General Yu Zizao.

"But……"

"No need to say more, I'm determined."

Under Yu Zizao's insistence, the last large warship of the Ming Navy also set sail and carried out its last tragic battle. After Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, the Ming Navy was no longer as glorious as it was and would eventually disappear.

The entire battlefield, including the Fu Liao Army, the Ming Navy, the Eighteen Zhi, more than 300 warships, fire ships fighting together, cannons are connected to the sky, and the shouts of killing alarm the world!

Only the three armed merchant ships in the Netherlands were still silent and were quietly anchored in a corner.

"Let's retreat. Actually, at the moment when the Fuliao fleet appeared, I knew that this was a battle with great strength, but I still had a little expectation for Shibazhi's tactics. However, God did not bless them, and they failed." Governor Putmans, Yizhou, shook his head as if he was moths to the fire, saw that the pirates and the Ming navy were flying into flames. "The situation in the Chinese Sea will undergo a major change, and it is very likely that a powerful marine empire will appear. We need to remind the board of directors and the Governor of Batavia."
