At Bengang Wharf, more than 200 wheeled boats were taking turns to dock, and teams of well-equipped young men were carrying wooden ammunition boxes and pouring down from the ship. Soon, thousands of people and hundreds of ammunition boxes were neatly arranged next to the wharf.

Zheng Zhilong looked at all this silently, and his inner shock could no longer be described in words.

Who is this guy?

Money, grain, muskets, artillery, warships, and even elite soldiers, this guy seems to have nothing to lack, he needs as much as he wants.

If he hadn't just heard that the eldest son of the current emperor had just been born and had celebrated together for a while, he would have even thought that this guy was the prince!

He was stunned, and Zhu Qizhuo suddenly asked, "Brother Zheng, are your men and warships ready?"

Zheng Zhilong nodded quickly and said, "Everything is ready."

Zhu Qizhi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will order someone to send the shells to you later. We will set out tomorrow morning."

The next morning, just as dawned, all the warships began to gather at Bengang and prepared to set off.

Zhu Qizhe stood on the top of the flagship and looked up at the dense warships around him, and couldn't help but feel full of enthusiasm.

So what if the overlord at the sea is going to do it, you will still be fucked down!

More than a thousand warships of all sizes gathered together. The momentum was so huge that Zheng Zhilong on the side couldn't help but show excitement. When the warships were almost assembled, he couldn't wait to say, "Brother Zhu, why don't we set off now?"

There is nothing to hesitate, let's go.

Zhu Qizhe waved directly: "Go!"

A wave of order flags, and the neat fleet began to march south.

At the beginning, Zhu Qizhu was so excited that he was so excited that this was his first time to participate in a naval battle, and he still brought more than a thousand warships to beat the sea overlord Dutch.

However, the fleet had just set off and he was a little excited.

Because the current and wind direction are indeed not suitable for sailing south at this moment, Zheng Zhilong's sailing ship is as slow as it is like climbing on the sea.

How long does it take to get to the senior?

He couldn't help asking, "Brother Zheng, at the current speed, when will we get to the senior officer?"

Zheng Zhilong estimated seriously: "Bengang is about 200 miles away from Master. Our current speed is about 40 miles per hour. We will definitely not be able to arrive tonight. We have to find a shelter to stop for one night. We will probably arrive at Master around Si AM tomorrow morning."

I was so fainted that it took only 40 miles in one hour, that was an hour and twenty miles in one hour!

This speed is really too slow.

It takes him less than half a day to get the master to get off the ship. However, after taking Zheng Zhilong's fleet, the speed was a bit offensively slow.

Problem, he could not leave Zheng Zhilong's fleet and lead more than 20 tower ships and warships and more than 300 wheels to the Grand Master to go straight to the Dutch, because he has no experience in naval combat and his warships are not fully equipped. In case of any accident, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

This is a war. Once a mistake occurs, it will be sacrificed by hundreds of subordinates. Of course, he cannot practice with the lives of his subordinates.

There was no choice but to follow Zheng Zhilong's suggestion and ordered his subordinates to drive more than ten wheel boats, and take Zheng Zhilong's old men who were familiar with the waters here along the coast to find shelter harbors, and at the same time investigate the movements of the Dutch.

Fortunately, the Dutch had never thought that anyone would dare to make an idea at this moment, and did not send any sentry to guard dozens of miles away. So, until night fell and they entered the shelter that was only forty or fifty miles away from the officials, the Dutch still did not move at all.

The next morning, around the hour of the year, the fleet continued to set off.

At this moment, they could not hide their tracks. After all, such a large fleet could be seen several miles apart even if they were looking at it with their naked eyes, not to mention that the Dutch had telescopes.

Therefore, when they were more than ten miles away from the senior officials, they were discovered by the Dutch.

The Dutch responded strangely, and they actually sent a small sailboat to sail straight towards the huge fleet.

What does this mean?

Zhu Qizhuo couldn't help but look at Zheng Zhilong in confusion.

Zheng Zhilong said with a embarrassed look on his face: "They probably thought I was here to deliver the goods."

I'm so disgusted, this is a bit of a big misunderstanding.

What to do?

Did you directly order someone to sink the small sailboat?

This seems a bit too unruly. The two countries are fighting and not going to kill them.

Zhu Qizhuo thought about it and said to Zheng Zhilong: "Go and tell them that Dongfan is our territory of the Ming Dynasty. You know what you are. Get out of here immediately, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

I'm afraid I won't get out of here.

Zheng Zhilong thought about it and still called a cart boat, got off the boat in person, and negotiated directly with the people.

Not long after, the Dutch sailboat turned around and Zheng Zhilong returned to the flagship with a strange face.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhe couldn't help but curiously said, "What do they say?"

Zheng Zhilong said a little embarrassedly: "They asked me to consider the consequences. As long as I dare to launch an attack, they will be rude to me."

Hahahaha, isn't this nonsense?

OK, let's see who is more rude.

Soon, the fleet arrived at the sea outside the Daguan. From a distance, you can see with your naked eyes that the Dutch warships had blocked the entrance to the bay.

Zhu Qizhe raised his telescope and looked carefully, then asked, "Brother Zheng, how do you think you are going to hit?"

Zheng Zhilong slowly lowered his telescope and pondered: "The Dutch gun range is about five miles. We can only shoot farther than them by firing armor-piercing shells with 500 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms of cannons. Otherwise, we will try it with armor-piercing shells first to see if they can force their warships back. If it really doesn't work, we can only let the boats spread out and surround them from both sides."

What's the best thing to try for armor-piercing bombs? Show you something good!

Zhu Qizhe nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Send the order, all the main guns and secondary guns of the building ships are loaded with explosive shells and ready to open fire."

Explosion bomb!

What?

Zheng Zhilong was confused, but the soldiers on the bow had already opened the wooden box and put the explosion bomb into the barrels of the main gun and the secondary gun.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhi ordered: "Tell the order that all the small boats in the previous stage will spread left and right, and order all the building ships and gunboats to line up and move forward slowly."

At this time, he discovered another problem. The distance between these five miles is really not easy to determine!

If it was on land, he would still have some experience. The problem was that there was no reference at all in this vast sea surface, so he really couldn't see it accurately.

He could only say to Zheng Zhilong on the side: "You think you are right. You are about to enter the enemy's range, so we will stop and fire."

Zheng Zhilong nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem."

More than twenty tower ships and gunboats lined up in a row and slowly advanced. Zheng Zhilong raised his telescope from time to time to scan the front.

After a while, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, it's almost done."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhi ordered without hesitation: "Stop the ship, fire, and fire the main gun and the auxiliary guns fired in a round of volleys."

The ship stops quickly, especially when moving slowly. As long as the steam valve is closed, the ship stops quickly and the cannon will be faster. As long as the fuse is ignited, the shells will be shot out.

"Boom boom boom", a huge roar sounded, and the Dutch were still guessing whether Zheng Zhilong dared to fire the artillery, and more than a hundred shells had already hit them.

There are no sights these days, let alone navigation. At such a long distance, there is usually no accurate head. Hundreds of shells can hit a few rounds and it will be accurate.

So, although the Dutch was shocked, they were not panicked.

Their entrance to the harbor was full of gunboats. Even if one or two shells were shot, it would be fine. At worst, a few holes in the cabin or deck would be smashed out and sunk. That would be absolutely impossible.

Unexpectedly, the shell exploded in the air before it even fell.

At such a long distance, the accuracy of the shell is indeed not very good. It would be good if it could basically fall within a target range of more than ten meters.

The problem is that the explosive bomb of the 500-pound and 1,000-pound giant cannon has a range of more than ten meters!

This time, the Dutch suffered a huge loss.

They didn't expect the shells to explode in the air, and they didn't expect to avoid the scattered iron pieces that were splashing everywhere.

After a burst of explosions, many people inexplicably started to sneer on the deck.

Although this broken iron piece cannot kill you, it hurts when you ejaculate into the flesh!

Hehe, so what about the overlord of the sea? It’s just a big deal.

Zhu Qizhe looked at the scene in the telescope and couldn't help but smile smugly at the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Zhilong was so shocked that his eyes were almost glaring out.

It turns out that the explosion bomb means this!
Chapter completed!
