"Roar up and destroy the Jiannu Navy!" Zheng Sen drew out his sword and pointed forward.

Several personal soldiers standing beside Zheng Sen shook their flags and sent flag-tongued signals to the surrounding Zheng family warships, informing each ship to adjust its formation and launch an attack on the Qing army navy.

The Guanning Army Longwu Camp Navy is the main battleship of eight 300-material No. 3 blessed ships, including twelve Cangshan ships and eighteen Haicang ships. The rest are small boats such as fast crab ships and whistle ships, with a total of 109 large and large ships and more than 300 sampans. In terms of quantity, the Longwu Camp Navy ships are only more than 40 fewer than the Zheng Family Navy navy, but whether it is the size of the ship or the number of artillery, they are simply incomparable to the Zheng Family Navy navy.

Hong Xu, who led the small sampan and the centipede Clipper, stood on a centipede Clipper of 150 pieces. The centipede Clipper was seven zhang long and ten zhang wide. There was an eight-pound cannon on the bow and stern of the ship. Although there were no cannons on both sides, twenty bird gunners and ten archers were placed side by side. Under the main deck was a paddler cabin, with a total of thirty-six oars. The slender ship shape, thirty-six long oars and two masts, made this ship walk like a flying boat on the sea. Because of its slender hull and dense oars extending from both sides, looking down from above, it looks like a centipede, so it was named the centipede Clipper.

The Centipede Clipper is the nemesis of the enemy's small sampan and fire attack ship. When encountering the enemy's small sampan, the Centipede Clipper can directly hit it or attack with cannons, bird guns and bows. When encountering the enemy's small sampan, the Centipede Clipper can ignite the enemy ship in advance with the rockets on the ship.

The Zheng family's small sampan was moving forward at the same time as the centipede cliffs. Each small sampan had twenty people, including ten archers, and the other ten were both oarsmen and melee hand-to-hand combat soldiers. The small sampan was mainly used to deal with enemy fire attack ships, and could also take melee battles to capture enemy ships. Behind the cliffs and small sampan was the main Dafu ship of the Zheng family. The Dafu ship fired the enemy ships with artillery from afar, and of course it could also shoot bird gun projectiles and bows and arrows at the enemy ships, and could also take melee battles.

Although the Zheng family army in this era was the strongest navy at East Asia, their naval combat methods were still mainly based on tactics of platoon battles and fire attack ships, rather than approaching the opponents on battle lines and shelling as in the West. The main opponent of the Zheng family army was the Western armed merchant ships in Asia, not the real sailing battleships of the Western navy.

If the maritime monarch-class battleships and other major battleships of Western countries come to the east, they will definitely be invincible. However, the battleships of Western countries in this era are not suitable for long-distance voyages, and secondly, their main battleships need to stay in China to deal with other maritime robbers, so their main battleships cannot come to the east.

The Zheng family navy was not a problem with the Anzhai ship that dealt with the Japanese, and the slab boat was no problem, and there was no pressure on the turtle ship that dealt with the kangzi.

Back to the topic, the vanguard fleets of both sides were close to within 300 steps. The centipede clutch of the Zheng family naval division took the lead in attacking. The eight-pound cannon at the bow made a deafening roar, and the muzzle spewed out of flames. The whistling shells swept across the sea and hit the oncoming Longwu Camp naval warship.

Hong Xu and Shi Fu's centipede clutch soldiers were divided into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right, and launched a pincer attack on the Qing army's small sampan.

"Doway! Let me come in person!" Shi Fu saw that his gunner fired two guns in a row, both of which were hitting the target. He pushed the gunner away, picked up the gun himself, and aimed at a small sampan rushing towards the Qing army.

Shi Fu ignited the artillery, "boomed" the eight-pound cannon gun muzzle, and the shells accurately hit the Qing army's small sampan. The shells fell into the cabin, and the Qing soldiers in the cabin flew everywhere, screaming in terrible times. Various weapons turned into fragments and flew into the sky. After the shells smashed the human body, they smashed heavily into the bottom cabin, directly smashing a hole in the bottom cabin, and sea water poured into the cabin.

The Centipede Clipper continued to approach the Qing army's small sampan. When the two sides entered within fifty steps, the archers on the Centipede Clipper opened their bows and shot a light arrow. The locust-like arrows fell into the Qing army's small sampan. Only a scream was heard. The Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to be killed by the shells just now were all caught in arrows and fell down.

The Qing navy soldiers on the small sampan did not have any armor protection at all, because if it was iron armor or cotton armor, once it fell into the water, the heavy iron armor would bring people into the bottom of the water, and the cotton armor would become heavy when it was stained with water. Therefore, the Qing navy did not have armor on its body.

On the contrary, the Zheng family navy had armor protection on its body, but they were wearing neither cotton armor nor iron armor, but wooden armor or bamboo armor. These armor not only had a certain protective effect, but not only did not sink after falling into the water, but instead played the role of a life jacket. At this point, the Zheng family navy was much stronger than the Qing army navy.

The small sampans on both sides also entered the range of bows and arrows, and the archers on the small sampans on both sides shot fiercely. During the shooting, the Qing army navy, which had no armor protection on their bodies, obviously suffered a great loss. Their only protection method was wooden cards, and the Zheng family navy not only had wooden cards, but also armor protection on their bodies.

From time to time, arrows passed through the gaps of the wooden shields. The arrows shot by the Zheng family army passed through the gaps between the Qing army's shields, and shot the Qing soldiers, but the arrows shot by the Qing army could not penetrate the Ming army's armor even if the arrows shot by the Qing army leaked in between the gaps between the Ming army's shields.

The two navy generals, Hong Xu and Shi Fu, rushed into the Qing army's small sampan, and the Qing army's small sampan that was hit was either crushed to pieces or crushed to the bottom of the sea.

The Ming army's small sampan also entered the boarding battle with the Qing army's small sampan. At close range, the Ming army archers suppressed the Qing soldiers. Then a group of dark-skinned and short sailors swung their short-handed axe and jumped into the cabin of the Qing army's small sampan. They chopped and chopped like melons and vegetables. Blood splashed on the Qing army's small sampan. The Qing soldiers who were dazed either fell to the ground or were chopped into two pieces in the waist.

And these Qing soldiers were not fierce enough, but the northerners were not as good as those of the southerners, and their skills in manipulating ships were far inferior to those of the Fujian people. As the saying goes, northerners rode horses and southerners rode boats, each with their own strengths.

If there was a face-to-face battle on land, the naval soldiers of the Zheng family army were definitely not the opponent of the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp, but on the bumpy ship, the Green Camp soldiers could not defeat the Zheng family army at all.

After only one encounter between the two sides, the Qing army's small sampans turned into uncontrolled ships, while the Ming army suffered minimal losses.

After defeating the Qing army's small sampan that blocked the road, the Zheng family's small sampan rushed towards the Qing army's fire attack ship, and a row of arrows flew out from afar. The Qing army's fire attack ship seemed to be covered with reeds, and the Qing army was caught in the arrow and fell into the water.

As the distance between the two sides approached, the Ming army archers lit the rockets, and rows of rockets shot out, piercing the Qing munitions attack ship full of firewood and tinder oil, and a raging fire suddenly ignited.

After solving the Qing arms attack ship that poses the greatest threat to its large ships, the main battleships of the Zheng family army and the Dafu ship rushed up one after another, slaughtering the Qing army warships one by one.

The Dafu ship with five hundred and four hundred materials hit the Qing army's boat, and it immediately crashed into two pieces, or directly crushed to the bottom of the sea. The Qing soldiers had no chance to connect to the sidelines. Even if the Qing army approached, they could not climb onto the tall Zheng family warship. The archers standing on the Zheng family warship, the bird gunners shot from a high place, and the flesh and blood flew across the Qing army warship.

"Zhao Lang, the Zheng family's ship is so big!" Princess Kunxing was so excited that she danced like a child when she saw the Zheng family's warship crushing the Qing army's warship. In fact, if her age was in later generations, she would be a girl in the third grade of junior high school.

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "No one can beat the Zheng family army in the East Asian sea! Since Zheng Sen is here, Jiannu Navy is vulnerable! We don't need to have a headache, why don't we go!"

"But the road leading to the beach is surrounded by Bai Jiannu. Can we rush out?" Princess Kunxing asked worriedly.
