ps: Thanks to book friend "Yuan Boren" for his monthly vote.

Now, Zheng Chenggong, who was watching the battle and commanding on the flagship behind, was shocked.

Test shooting has this accuracy, so what terrifying consequences will be if the volley is fired?

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong immediately ordered the fleet to stop advancing.

Is this, scared?

Wu Zheng became confused there. Could it be that Zheng Chenggong had any conspiracy?

Otherwise, the losses of the three medium-sized ships should be disdainful in Zheng Chenggong's eyes.

Zheng Chenggong was indeed afraid because he had seen the long-range artillery of the Red-haired, but Zheng Chenggong had no money to exchange it, so he thought about forming an army. Secondly, Zheng Chenggong also felt that in the offshore water war, there was no need to replace the artillery with the coastal land as a backing.

It is no wonder that hundreds of years later, the Qing Dynasty was still using Ming-made shore artillery to resist the attack from the sea by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

This is a lack of concepts, and Wu Zheng simply gained the conceptual advantage of later generations.

But at this time, Zheng Chenggong was still hesitating whether the accuracy of this round of artillery was accidental.

Zheng Chenggong gave a command at this moment, and he thought he was not destined to be the right one.

That is, take the thirty medium-sized gunships as the pioneer, and open the three times the distance between the ship (referring to three times the total length of a ship in the lateral direction), continue to move forward, reconnaissance of the enemy's firepower, while the main force remains unmoved.

Is this a weird command?

At least it made Wu Zheng feel very strange. What's going on?

Send to death?

Thirty-six medium-sized warships approached and faced the cannons of more than 200 warships. What is this about killing them?

Of course, Wu Zheng would not be ruthless. When the enemy ship approached about fifteen or sixteen miles, he called out a command and only half of the main ships carried out a volley.

God knows what a spectacular scene it was.

The gangway of the medium-sized ship is not covered by iron plates, and the thickness of the gangway is only a little more than an inch. At this strength, a large hole will be blown out when a main ship cannon shell is hit.

The eight hundred guns roared in unison, and the shells hit more than ten miles away like raindrops.

The water columns stirred up by the shells in the sea instantly formed a series of water walls, blocking the view of both the north and the south.

When the water column fell back, there were still seven ships wandering around the sea, and it was not unharmed, but was blazing with a raging fire.

The sea suddenly became extremely quiet.

Wu Zheng was amazed that the black powder-bore cannons of this era are so powerful. Thinking about the giant cannons in later generations, how spectacular they should be. I don’t feel relaxed and happy.

But Zheng Chenggong over there, after a brief shock, instantly realized that he was wrong.

Zheng Chenggong was indeed wrong.

The range difference of Bali is only a few minutes for warships sailing at full speed.

If you approach at all costs, you will actually suffer a small loss.

The effect of Wang Yilin and Eleven ships responding to Zheng Cai's desperate breakthrough was already very obvious.

The more you fight hard, the more likely you are to succeed.

Because this tactic is really repeated, the two or three ships on the side of Wu Zheng's warships are likely to point to one target at the same time.

In this way, the target is indeed dead and cannot die anymore, but this can protect other ships from rushing forward.

After all, it takes time to load cannons.

But Zheng Chenggong came with such a round of firepower reconnaissance for no reason.

Is the battlefield situation different from before?

It's no different, the distance is still there, and it has caused losses to more than 30 ships.

The most important thing is that Zheng Chenggong realized that he had made a big mistake, and that was that this scene greatly damaged his morale.

Not only naval battles, but also land battles.

He rushed forward and died, but when he died, he died, but when he saw his friendly troops die in this way, he didn't even have the power to fight back, who was not upset?

Zheng Chenggong is playing drums himself.

With a blue face, Zheng Chenggong stood firm for a long time without saying a word, let alone making an order.

Wu Zheng was really anxious over there. Can you still fight?

Wu Zheng immediately ordered the fleet to slowly advance three miles. In this way, the three lines of the Zheng family navy were included in the range, and at the same time, his side was still outside the range of the enemy.

However, this temptation made Zheng Chenggong jump up in shock. He immediately ordered the fleet to retreat ten miles.

So the distance became even bigger.

Wu Zheng saw it at the head of the ship and in the telescope, and was speechless after all.

....

When Zheng Chenggong ordered his retreat ten miles, he had already developed a desire to retreat. He could afford the losses of more than 30 medium-sized ships.

He also knew that Wu Zheng could not pursue him because Wu Zheng did not have the strength to fight away in Fujian and Guangdong.

But Zheng Chenggong hesitated, he was face-saving!

How can the people of Fujian and Guangdong say that they are talking about themselves when they come so well?

In addition, Zheng Zhiguan is his uncle after all, and he is also his own subordinate. He was killed by Zheng Cai. This matter must be explained to the soldiers under his command.

Zheng Chenggong was in a dilemma. He thought of countless ways to make breakthroughs, but in the end he rejected them, because Zheng Chenggong estimated that even if he broke through the range difference of these eight miles in the most ideal way, his side would lose 30% of the warships when he was engaged in the battle.

What about next, after the two sides fight?

Even if he defeated Wu Zheng, his strength would probably be exhausted.

Is this cost-effective?

Just when Zheng Chenggong was in a dilemma, the person who resolved his dilemma came.

"Prince, my subordinates beg to be the vanguard and use their own fire attack ships and other fast ships to attack first. The prince's main ship follows our army. In this way, it can not only consume the enemy's firepower, but also narrow the distance between the enemy. As long as we reach the range, with our side more than the enemy's side, the prince will definitely be able to defeat the enemy's naval fleet."

Shi Lang arrived in a fastboat and gave Zheng Chenggong a good idea.

Zheng Chenggong was moved.

I thought I was right, Shi Lang was really capable.

If the fire attack ships and other fast ships are ahead, the enemy has to attack because the enemy's warships are also made of wooden, and being hit by the fire attack ship is also a dead end.

Therefore, the enemy must first attack the fire attack ship, but the fire attack ship is fast and small. The fire attack ship is fire attack ship, which means that the cannons will hit mosquitoes. In this way, the enemy will not have much energy to shell out the main battleship.

The more Zheng Chenggong thought about it, the more he became, and he stepped forward and held Shi Lang's hand with both hands and said, "Zunhou, you are rare to be loyal... This plan is very wonderful, I agree! After this war, I promise you to lead a division alone and guard Jieyang for me."

Shi Lang immediately knelt on one knee and choked and said, "I thank you for your kindness in the prince, and I will be punished to repay you."

Wait until Shi Lang leaves the cabin and takes the fast ship to go back to deploy.

Zheng Chenggong's eyes flashed and said to his personal soldiers: "Send team members to watch him... If there is any abnormal movement, kill him immediately."

What is the evil of human hearts? Nothing more than mutual distrust.

If there is mutual trust in this world, there will be fewer things that shouldn't have happened.

Zheng Chenggong is not a hero or a hero.

Heroes and heroes know how to use people without doubt.

Zheng Chenggong lacks courage. What he advocates is to use people with doubts. This is due to the family environment and his own personality he has lived in since childhood.
