The pirates on Jiushan Island seemed to have noticed the fleet heading towards them.
They immediately reported the situation to their leader Zheng Sanhu.
Zheng Sanhu had just vented his animalistic desires.
When he heard his subordinates reporting that a fleet was coming towards Jiushan Island, he was a little unable to react.
"Say what you said again" "Dozens of ships are heading our way, General."
Zheng Sanhu narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a long time and sneered: "Okay, okay, it seems that the court can't hold it back any longer."
No one except the Zheng family and the imperial court could afford so many ships.
"Come here, my men are on alert and ready for war at any time."
"Follow your orders" The defensive layout on Jiushan Island is not bad, which is why Zheng Sanhu is so confident.
There are not only fortresses but also cannons on the island, which can blast the incoming fleet.
Zheng Sanhu is good at naval warfare, and defensive warfare is no exception.
These imperial soldiers who don't know the heights of heaven and earth come here rashly, so don't think about leaving again.
Zheng Sanhu would never allow anyone to find out the truth of the matter.
So these people must die.
He personally went to the west side of the island to supervise the battle, and the imperial fleet was approaching in this direction.
Although he couldn't see clearly, Zheng Sanhu could vaguely tell that these were Fu Chuan and Guang Chuan.
Although the two are slightly different, they have one thing in common: they are big.
Different from the emphasis on flexibility of ships in inland rivers, the bigger the ships in naval battles, the better.
The larger the ship, the more crew it can carry and the more artillery it can equip.
Both of these directly determine the success or failure of a naval battle.
In Zheng Sanhu's existing impression, the imperial court's shipbuilding technology was lagging behind the times for many years, and the Longjiang Shipyard had been abandoned for many years.
When did things get back to normal again?
You must know that it is impossible to build these ships for more than a year and a half.
In other words, the imperial court had begun large-scale shipbuilding a year ago, but it had been kept secret.
Hiss, this little emperor is so wealthy.
Zheng Sanhu asked himself that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to hold his breath so calmly.
But that’s okay.
No matter how large the fleet is, it will be difficult to achieve success without experienced generals.
The Zheng family navy is as sharp as a general and has rich experience in actual combat.
Most of these generals were pirates.
They spent many years fighting in the sea in their early years and developed skills that were beyond the reach of some court generals who had become monks halfway.
It's just that the west side of Jiushan Island is obviously less defensive than the south side.
Regardless of the number of bunkers or artillery.
The imperial court's fleet's main attack must be based on this consideration.
But how could the court see clearly in advance when they were so far away?
This was a question that puzzled Zheng Sanhu.
Could it be said that they can do sorcery?
Zheng Sanhu shook his head and stopped thinking about this.
When soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, how could he, Zheng Sanhu, have ever been afraid?
As the imperial fleet got closer, Zheng Sanhu could see clearly that the flag hanging on the mast was indeed the imperial flag.
Zheng Sanhu took a deep breath and commanded in a deep voice: "Get ready to fire off the cannons."
His order had just been given when the sound of artillery was heard.
It's just that it wasn't his subordinates who lit the cannons, but the imperial fleet not far away.
The imperial army actually took the initiative and fired several cannons at the dock.
The blasted gravel suddenly flew on the dock, and Zheng Sanhu's men were all in a hurry.

Zheng Sanhu couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
Does the imperial court want to beat the old master to death with random punches?
"Don't panic, be prepared to fight back and give me a hard beating."
Although Zheng Sanhu said harsh words, he knew very well that the imperial army was not a group of inexperienced youngsters.
On the contrary, their offense was very routine and layered.
And based on his intuition, Zheng Sanhu concluded that the artillery equipped by the imperial court was very powerful, comparable to the red cannon.
Even the Zheng family navy cannot guarantee that every ship is equipped with this kind of artillery.
It is not easy for the imperial court to afford it.
Zheng Sanhu's subordinates are also elite soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time.
After calming down they immediately launched a counterattack.
It's just that the court's ship is in a moving state after all.
It's not easy for them to hit the target.
After rounds of shelling, only one lead bullet barely hit the hull, and the rest basically missed.
There was nothing that could be done about this.
The artillery technology at this time was not very perfect, and it was basically impossible to aim accurately and could only shoot roughly in one direction.
As for winning or not, it all depends on luck.
Jiushan Island will not move, so it is relatively easier for the imperial navy to bombard it.
Zheng Sanhu felt like he was dumb.
Although he was very angry, he had no choice but to do anything.
"Don't stop, keep shooting for me."
Seeing his brother being suppressed by the momentum of the imperial army, Zheng Sanhu jumped up and down anxiously.
At least so far the imperial army has behaved calmly.
Their attack was not random, but the Zheng family army was in a hurry.
This cannot continue.
Once the momentum is overwhelmed, it is extremely difficult to get it back.
Zheng Sanhu roared and went to the fort in person.
He pushed aside the soldiers who were about to operate the artillery and demonstrated in person: "Move quickly, haven't you eaten in the morning?"
"If you aim and hit again, your hit will miss two miles."
Under Zheng Sanhu's influence, all the soldiers also felt a little ashamed and lowered their heads.
They were indeed panicked.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the troops of the imperial court are at sea after all.
Even if the situation is advantageous, as long as they cannot complete the beach landing, it is a useless effort.
And their foundation is on the island.
As long as they guard against it and don't give the imperial army a chance, they can continue to consume it.
What's so scary about them Thinking of this, all the soldiers gained confidence, and the hands operating the artillery no longer trembled.
Zheng Sanhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
As long as the situation is stabilized, it will be fine.
I was afraid that the imperial army would punch the old master to death without giving them a chance to react.
As long as Zheng Jiajun stabilizes and has more experience, he will surely win.
The battle is all about hard power.
Relying on chicken blood can only succeed for a short time, and it will never last long.
He wanted to see what tricks the imperial army could come up with after the three-axe attack.
"Keep firing, don't stop" There are enough gunpowder reserves on Jiushan Island, and it is impossible for the imperial army to defeat them if they use up all their energy.
Zheng Sanhu wanted to tell the commander of the imperial navy who was the king of naval battles through constant bombardment.
Maybe the imperial navy has great potential, but at least for now, the Zheng family navy is the only overlord in naval battles.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong was also coldly observing the scene on the island.
It's just that he can magnify the distant scene several times through the telescope, and he can see every move of Zheng Sanhu
