Chapter 1152 Seven Star Island Naval Battle (3)
This reverse of Wang Yilin's fleet also surprised Zheng Zhiguan.
The first reverse was normal naval combat tactical actions. If it were Zheng Zhiguan, he might have commanded this way.
But if it goes the other way, it will be out of place, and this is a way out.
Without time to think carefully, Zheng Zhiguan immediately ordered the fleet to follow and turn, and at the same time, he ordered the ambush on the west side to start to accelerate, attacking the enemy fleet in both east and west directions.
The battlefield is on the east side of Qixing Island. Wang Yilin's most fundamental purpose in reverse is not to meet with Zhang Mingzhen, but to lure Zheng Zhiguan's fleet into the blind spot of vision.
In other words, using Qixing Island as a visual barrier to prevent Zheng Zhiguan from discovering the arrival of the Wusong Navy too early, so that Zhang Mingzhen could set up his formation calmly.
....
Wang Yilin's idea was correct, because the sky began to light up at this time.
The vision has also increased.
The Zheng family fleet has hundreds of ships, and within a radius of ten miles, they are all warships.
If there is no visual barrier and there is no incense stick, the Wusong Navy will be discovered when it comes.
But Wang Yilin didn't expect it, and maybe he thought about it, so he decided to do it.
How could the eighteen warships survive under the attacks between the east and west?
How much time can it support?
The rain-like shells hit Wang Yilin's fleet, because the reverse direction was reversed again, which was equivalent to exposing the starboard side at an oblique angle under the muzzle of the ambush enemy ship on the west side.
The volley of hundreds of guns was fired, and seven were shot in one round, and the one with the most shots was shot, and three shells were shot.
Unfortunately, a shell hit the waterline, a big black hole like a round table, and the sea water poured into it.
Just under Wang Yilin's nose, he slowly sank.
There were tears in Wang Yilin's eyes, but he couldn't take it seriously.
He still ordered all fleets to continue to travel at full speed south.
The whistling shells hit the head and faced with the sound of "whimpering" wind, slamming around the ship, arousing a surging water column.
The enemy's second volley began.
Wang Yilin's fleet could no longer fight back because it had no shooting angle.
As the saying goes, it is a cannonball flying from the head.
At this time, the two warships behind Wang Yilin's flagship suddenly turned without permission and came over. In a short moment, they suddenly became targets for enemy ships in the distance.
Wang Yilin could almost see a shell smashing into the two warships.
You can even see splashing pieces of wood and soldiers falling into the water.
Wang Yilin looked at him almost numbly, his gums were clenched so hard that they were bleeding. The trace of fishy sweetness made Wang Yilin's eyes turn red.
The shelling continued for a while.
The pursuit continues.
Getting closer.
With the first time, there will be the second time.
A hero's role model will always attract the imitation of passionate people.
The fourth round of the enemy fleet shot, sinking two warships that actively changed direction and covered the flagship.
By this time, the Navy Wang Yilin had nearly half of the casualties.
Can't hold on anymore!
Wang Yilin turned around and stared at the point where Qixing Island was getting closer and closer to one side that intersected with the sea level, almost roaring, "Zhang Mingzhen, if you don't come again, don't come!"
With the roar, tears burst out.
This shouldn't be the case! Wang Yilin said naughtyly.
....
Zheng Zhiguan is no longer surprised.
Because no matter what the other party wants or conspiracy, it doesn't matter anymore.
Dead people, no idea, conspiracy.
Sink them, drown them, and then triumphantly!
Looking at the enemy fleet with only eleven warships left, Zheng Zhiguan was laughing. Baby, when I was making a living at sea, you were still wetting your pants!
After chasing you for a night, it's time to stop and rest.
Of course, the rest in Zheng Zhiguan's heart is the kind of rest that does not require breathing.
Zheng Zhiguan's smile became stronger and stronger, and he was getting closer!
At most half an hour, these eleven ships would have to sink into the sea, making you dare to make ground on Tai Sui’s head!
The shells pierced the edges like rain, which made Zheng Zhiguan start to laugh out loud.
But suddenly, Zheng Zhiguan couldn't laugh anymore.
The whistle of the shells is wrong!
The smile was stiff on his face. Before he could even get rid of it, a ship next to Zheng Zhiguan's flagship suddenly got shot and caught fire.
Where did the shells come from?
Zheng Zhiguan held up the telescope and searched everywhere, but except for the eleven boats in front of him, there was nothing abnormal.
At this time, countless "rumbling" cannon sounded suddenly, and the dense roar of the shells made Zheng Zhiguan finally turn his head. He couldn't help but roar, which was an unconscious roar, a roar of fear.
volley!
But it was not the Zheng family navy's volley!
The shells came from the west and south of Qixing Island where the shadows gradually revealed.
Dozens of warships appeared in three rows and appeared horizontally.
The entrance of the cannon hole on the side was spitting out thick smoke and fire. On the towering mast, Zheng Zhiguan's familiar Northern Expedition flag was flying.
Wusong Navy!
Amid Zheng Zhiguan's shrill shouts, the Zheng family navy suffered a catastrophe, with fierce shelling and constant fire from warships.
Five or six ships sank instantly.
The entire Zheng family fleet spread out horizontally and chasing Wang Yilin was almost mostly within the range of the Wusong Navy's artillery.
Zhang Mingzhen's Wusong Navy finally arrived and saved Wang Yilin's only eleven remaining warships. Among these eleven ships, almost one by one was injured. Even Wang Yilin's flagship was hit by a shell and smashed a big hole on the bow deck.
Zheng Zhiguan was panicked.
How could you not panic?
There were not many reinforcements from the enemy, and his navy still had the advantage.
But the problem is that it is too late to change direction.
In other words, at least incense stick, no, it may take more time, even if the direction is changed immediately, it will be under the muzzle of the enemy ship that has been calibrated and has been volleyed across the line.
What was even more shocked by Zheng Zhiguan was the range and accuracy of the enemy ship.
This distance is at least ten miles away, and the guns on his ship are not reachable at all.
Zheng Zhiguan finally made a sound, "Retreat!"
Although this order would lose more ships, it would at least avoid the annihilation of the Zheng family's naval army.
But within the range of the Wusong Navy, this order could not be saved, and the losses that the Zheng Navy had to bear.
Zheng Zhiguan's order was correct. If you want to rush over, approach the enemy, and launch an artillery battle, you will need to sail at least five miles.
The distance of these five miles is enough for any ship that rushed up to escape the ending of sunk.
No matter how poor the accuracy is, it cannot face a volley of dozens of warships and hundreds of guns.
Just like no matter how brave a soldier is, he cannot charge with ten machine guns. This is the same truth.
There is no trace of obstruction or cover at sea level. The only cover is the warship in front of you.
But the boat is not a real cover, it can sink.
Within a radius of ten miles, the entire sea was covered with artillery shells from the Wusong Navy.
