Wu Zheng's intention and arrangement were planned to lure the Zheng family navy out by the merchant fleet.

The navy led by the caravan will definitely not be huge in scale. After all, it is a plundering merchant ships. Why use a slaughter to kill chickens?

Then, Wang Yilin's navy defeated the Zheng family navy who plundered the merchant ship.

Wang Yilin's army is a pirate. When the dispute starts, Wu Zheng can completely deny it without knowing it. Anyway, Zheng Chenggong can't come up with evidence.

The Wusong Navy was ordered to wipe out the pirates under Wang Deren's troops, but some of the remaining troops escaped. Because their nest was occupied and lacked supplies, they took risks and were about to go south to rob, and happened to meet the Zheng Navy robbing the merchant ship fleet, so a black and black fight came. Look, the reason was very sufficient, and it was completely recommended. Who could tell me that other Zi Chou and Yin Mao came?

But Wu Zheng also ordered Zhang and Wang to not pursue if the Zheng family navy fled south.

Wu Zheng still considered that if Zheng Chenggong's navy was really hurt, once Zheng Chenggong took revenge, the hatred between the two would be endless, which was not conducive to both sides' strategy of confronting the Qing court.

If you summarize Wu Zheng’s tactical ideas, it is to teach Zheng Chenggong a lesson and let him understand that don’t bother me. It will cost you to dig my corners. You will die of the fantasy of entering the eastern Zhejiang waters!

But Wang Yilin and Zhang Mingzhen had a private banquet, and the taste changed.

Originally, after Wang Yilin defeated the Zheng family's robbery, Wang Yilin should immediately return to the eastern Zhejiang waters and cooperate with the Wusong Navy to form a joint attack between the east and west, and support each other, waiting for the Zheng family's navy to come and take revenge.

But Wang Yilin was lucky and captured more than ten warships without any effort. How could he let go?

Fortunately, the warships at this time were all wooden sails, and they could be operated by sailors, so it was not difficult to bring these warships back, but the problem was that once the sailors on the original warship were divided into half of the captured warships, the movement was able to move, and the speed could not be increased.

If you escape like this, you will be caught up before entering the Jinxiangwei waters. So Wang Yilin was chased for a day and thought of a solution on the way, which was to change the plan again, send someone to inform Zhang Mingzhen, and move the Wusong Navy's ambush site from Nanji Mountain to the southwest of the Pumensou waters.

Pumen Station is located southeast of Fenshuiguan. It was a military guard station in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was a hundred-household station used to prevent Japanese pirates.

The east part of Pumen is Taishan (the waters of Qixing Island).

It is the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Wang Yilin chose this place specifically, one is on the way to "escape from the north", and the other is to avoid Wu Zheng's strict orders.

But as for whether Zhang Mingzhen would agree, Wang Yilin could only leave it to fate.

At this point, Wang Yilin has accepted his fate.

He had to order a slowdown because although he captured more than ten warships and took a big advantage, the task assigned by Wu Zheng was not completed.

In other words, these warships were like a drop in the bucket to the Zheng family navy, and were far from reaching the purpose of Wu Zheng's deployment of this operation.

Wang Yilin slowed down, one was afraid that Zheng Zhiguan would decouple, two was that if Zhang Mingzhen came as promised, the two sides would hit each other head-on, and they would not achieve their unexpected goal. Third, it was already dark, and Wang Yilin was worried that the night battle would cause his own losses.

In the eastern Zhejiang waters, there is indeed no force that can be used by the two naval divisions of Zhoushan and Wusong, which has caused the navy to lack actual combat.

Wang Yilin was worried that the navy was not used to night battles and caused huge casualties, which would be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Wang Yilin subconsciously wanted to delay until dawn the next day, so that even if the Wusong Navy comes to him, it will not be easy to be discovered by Zheng Zhiguan, but he can provide the Wusong Navy with an approximate location of Zheng Zhiguan.

Being prepared and not being defenseless is the last resort.

But people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Wang Yilin did not expect that Zheng Zhiguan would pursue him so resolutely and prepare for a night battle.

When the sound of cannons behind him sounded, the fire from the muzzle seemed extremely clear in the night.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about ten miles.

Artillery is more of a deterrent, and uses the first gun.

Wang Yilin was shocked and could only order to accelerate his escape north.

....

Midnight.

Zheng Zhiguan's fleet finally caught up with Wang Yilin's fleet fleeing north in the waters of Taishan.

Although the Zheng family navy used only the first guns of the ship during the pursuit, and in the dark, the hit was almost a fantasy.

However, the dozen main battleships in the forefront fired at the same time, and their momentum was quite shocking.

Wang Yilin smiled bitterly, there was nothing he could do.

What else can I do?

What can I fight back when my butt is facing someone?

If you change the direction and use the ship's side gun to counterattack, you may be quickly caught up and surrounded, and you may not even be able to escape.

Wang Yilin could only order to escape north at full speed, and the amount of escape was calculated as much as he could.

In Wang Yilin's heart, he had already started cursing Zhang Mingzhen, why haven't he been yet?

....

Where is Zhang Mingzhen?

He had led the Wusong Navy's twenty main battleships and forty-two medium-sized warships to the vicinity of Qixing Island.

It was actually about fifty miles away from Wang Yilin's fleet at this time.

But Zhang Mingzhen was indeed hesitating because once he went south, he would pass the Zhejiang border.

On the one hand, friendly forces are asking for help, and on the other hand, the boss is strict orders. How to make a decision is really embarrassing Zhang Mingzhen.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Mingzhen made a wrong decision.

He decided to stay in the waters of Qixing Island.

Zhang Mingzhen believed that even the Zheng family navy would not dare to fight a naval battle in the dark.

In other words, as long as Wang Yilin fled north, even if Zheng Zhiguan caught up with Wang Yilin, he would not be able to form an encirclement against Wang Yilin's navy in the dark, and Wang Yilin still had a chance.

....

However, in fact, since passing Taishan, Zheng Zhiguan had bit Wang Yilin's butt.

Originally, Zheng Zhiguan was really unwilling to cross the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian.

But in this era, in the vast ocean covered by night palladium, who can tell where the assigned line is?

Seeing the enemy right in front of him, Zheng Zhiguan chased after him out of anger.

So, at the moment, the front of Zheng Zhiguan's fleet, the first gun of the ship, was already attained by Wang Yilin's troops.

Even the first artillery can reach the air force, and the distance is within five miles.

So, Zheng Zhiguan ordered the vanguard to continue chasing, and the warships behind them separated sideways and sailed diagonally from both sides, one side surrounded and the other side was shelling.

Once the warship changes its orientation, it can use the side cannon to fire the targets in a salvo.

Although Zheng Zhiguan is not very good at character, his experience in naval battles is considered to be quite old.

The enemy's ship speed is obviously not as fast as his own.

According to his deployment, within one hour, it was enough to swallow the enemy fleet whole.

At this time, Wang Yilin was indeed a little panicked.

On this dark sea, nothing can be seen except for the shining stars.

He didn't know if Zhang Mingzhen's reinforcements had arrived.

I don’t know if I can still bring this navy back alive.
