Please ask me to be the emperor

"General, we are surrounded!" The lookout saw countless ships surrounding him, and he couldn't help but lower the flag in fear.

"Don't worry about it, order the sailors to just sail the ship, and the others will follow me to meet the enemy!" Zhao Lizi frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but order.

His name is Zhao Lizi, and he is destined to water.

However, he is only a freshwater fish, not a sea fish.

Now that King Shun needed it, he bit the bullet and came to the sea.

Unfortunately, he was surrounded.

He smiled: "When it comes to fighting on the sea, any fisherman can beat me. When it comes to staying sharp, I am worthy of anyone!"

"Hurry, come on!" Just when Zhao Lizi was full of confidence, the Zheng family navy surrounding the "Fengzhou" was sweating profusely.

"This boat is too high, we can't get on it!"

It turns out that the "Fengzhou" is not only huge, but also has a very tall hull.

There are three decks above the waterline, so the hull is five or six feet high.

Such a tall hull naturally affects the sailors' ability to climb.

"Get on the rope!" A general had already given the order, and immediately three or five iron hooks were thrown up, and then several groups of shirtless strong men climbed up with a waist knife in their mouths.

Unexpectedly, the rebels had already rushed out, stepped forward and chopped off the rope.

The man felt the rope loosen in his hand, and with a few pops, he fell into the water like a dumpling.

"Fire, fire!" The general on the Big Bird ship quickly gave the order when he saw the rebels showing up.

"Boom, boom, boom!" A burst of gunshots was heard. Several rebel soldiers were shot dead on the spot and fell under the boat as they were unable to escape.

The rebels were not polite when they saw it. They took out small artillery such as muskets and flanges to fight back. They also killed and wounded many Zheng's sailors.

Because they were at sea, it was difficult to get armor, so the two sides just went back and forth like this, like a flesh and blood mill, and started a fierce fight around the "Sealing Boat".

At the same time, Huang Shoucai had already commanded the fleet to circle to the side of Zheng's Navy, and continued to bombard Zheng's Navy with the powerful artillery on board.

Then, small boats were sent forward to rob and burn the warships that had been damaged by rebel artillery.

Normal ships have a large amount of tung oil painted on the hull, and the vast sea space makes it difficult to ignite as easily as in an inland water battle.

However, many ships were not as tall as the "Fengzhou" that could not hold it, so the rebels were able to use "rockets" and "fire blunderbuss" to ignite them.

"The 'thief' is coming, the 'thief' is coming!" Just when Zheng Zhifeng was overjoyed to have surrounded the "Fengzhou", he never expected that dozens of small boats would separate from the rebel fleet and wait for him. People rushed over.

As Zheng Zhifeng had previously judged, adopting the "one-word long snake formation" and using artillery to shoot from a long distance was a typical Western method of warfare.

Carrying a large number of small boats for arson and boarding warfare is a typical Chinese strategy.

Zheng Zhifeng had previously judged the rebel fleet as the "Flangji" or the "Red Hair Fan" navy, and was careless for a while. Unexpectedly, the "Red Hair Fan" suddenly played this trick on him.

"Quick, get on top!" Zheng Zhifeng directed other ships to continue to besiege the "Fengzhou", and at the same time separated some ships to test and intercept the small boats of the rebels.

However, just as the twenty or thirty small boats that had just been separated approached the rebel boat, they suddenly saw thousands of arrows fired from the rebel boat. Countless rockets hit the small boat, igniting the sails, rigging and other items on it.

Then more than ten fire dragons were sprayed out, and there was a burst of fire on the boat. The sailors and soldiers on the boat were so roasted that they jumped off the boat one after another, and then ignited the sails and materials above.

"No, no, this is not 'Flangji', nor is it 'Red Haired Fan'!" Zheng Zhifeng was shocked, and then woke up as if from a dream, "This is probably the navy of 'Shun Thief'!"

"Where did this 'shun thief' get a navy, and where did they get such a big warship?" After hearing this, the people around couldn't help but asked in shock.

"I'm afraid now is not the time to ask this. The top priority is to capture that giant ship as soon as possible!" Zheng Zhilong frowned and couldn't help but point to the "Fengzhou" with his hand.

"By the way, send a few more ships back quickly, and immediately mobilize the warships in the harbor to go to sea and fight against the 'Shun Bandits' with all your strength!"

"No, the thief is leaving!" Under Zheng Zhifeng's order, when the Zheng Navy separated two or three small boats and fled to the southeast, Huang Shoucai had already seen them.

He couldn't help but quickly ordered: "Deploy five bird boats to pursue, while the others continue to attack the enemy navy!"

The rebels' bird boats are not as good as the big bird boats under Zheng Zhifeng's command, but they are lighter, more flexible and faster, making them suitable for such pursuit missions.

Not to mention how the battle was going on Huang Shoucai's side, let's talk about how Zhao Lizi led his soldiers to attack left and right on the ship, and finally repelled Zheng's navy's attack. After a while, he felt a slight shock under his feet, and then a "dong dong" sounded. the sound of.

"No, the thieves are scuttling the ship again!" The gunner at the bottom quickly reported to the top.

"Heaving a boat?" Zhao Lizi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Zheng's navy with admiration.

It turns out that in this inland water battle, it is not surprising that the ship was cut.

However, when fighting at sea, the water is deep and the waves are strong, and the fighter planes can change rapidly. Generally, the tactic of drilling ships under water is rarely used.

However, that's not the case this time.

A "Fengzhou" was besieged by nearly thirty ships, large and small, and its speed had slowed down.

Secondly, Zheng's naval skills were daring. Zheng Zhifeng recruited a group of people who were very good at water and believed in life and death, so they took the risk to attack the "Fengzhou".

In fact, since the beginning of its construction, the "Fengzhou" has chosen excellent wood and adopted "watertight cabin" technology. Not to mention chiseling, even if it is blasted with several holes, it will still not sink.

However, just because it won't sink doesn't mean it won't have any impact.

If Zheng really digs out several big holes, then the speed of the "Fengzhou" will definitely be greatly affected, which will affect the subsequent battles.

"General, what should we do?" After hearing this, Zuo Zuo couldn't help but ask for instructions.

"It seems that we can't do it without a trick!" Zhao Lizi frowned and couldn't help but quickly ordered, "Immediately load all the 'water guns' on the ship with oil and turn them into 'fire guns', and then burn them from the bottom deck. !”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then couldn't help but become overjoyed.

Why?

It turns out that the "fire cannons" carried by the rebels on the ship are not actually "fire cannons" specially used for fire attacks, but "water cannons" intended to be used to extinguish the flames on the ship.

Because most of the water wars in East Asia carried oil, Huang Shoucai had people replace it with oil and turned it into a "fire gun".

However, it was Huang Shoucai's idea that inspired Zhao Lizi.

Since the "fire gun" is so easy to use, why don't I burn the other warships that besieged me from the shooting port on the bottom deck?

Sure enough, following Zhao Lizi's order, the shooting curtain below the "Fengzhou" suddenly opened wide, and fire dragons shot out.

The ships that were originally connected to the "Sealing Boat" by hooks, ropes, and "Sealing Boats" were suddenly sprayed with water and began to burn.

Many of the "dead soldiers" who were continuing to climb up on the boat were ignited on the spot and turned into flaming men. They fell down screaming and splashing water.

"No, get out of the way, get out of the way!" When Zheng Zhifeng saw the "Fengzhou" suddenly spurting out fire, he was shocked and quickly ordered loudly.

However, before the lookout could understand what was going on, the "Fengzhou", which had already resumed its sailing speed, used its size to crush a lucky ship blocking the front.

The Fuchuan, made of pine wood, was suddenly hit into two pieces by the "Fengzhou", and then bubbled and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Retreat!" When Zheng Zhifeng saw the "Fengzhou" charging like a dragon, breaking through the encirclement of the Zheng Navy, he couldn't help but give the order to retreat in despair.

It is understandable that we are not as good as people on land.

Now that the sea is not as good as humans, how can we fight this battle?
