Zhao Feng commanded the Yang Su and overturned a fireship, destroyed two gunboats, avoided the collision of two Zheng family gunboats, and continued to rush towards the east.
At this time, two consecutive big explosions attracted his attention. to the west.
Two huge fireworks rose up, so bright in the blue sky and blue sea.
He knew that two more Polu warships had sunk.
A kind of nameless grief and anger arose in Zhao Feng's heart.
At this moment, he was a member of this fleet, and he was extremely resentful for the successive deaths of his brothers.
Under his control, the warship continued to bombard the depths of the Zheng family.
All the soldiers in this squadron heard these self-destruction explosions, and they felt the same hatred for the enemy.
The remaining thirty warships launched crazy bombardments and attacks, tumbling like giant beasts in the Zheng family fleet. .
Zheng Zhilong looked at the fierce battle ahead with a stern expression, but his heart was churning.
It was impossible for his gunboats to blow up the two Polu warships.
He was self-aware of the firepower of his gunboats.
Although he was far away and did not see it with his own eyes, he estimated that his own soldiers had boarded these warships and had a bloody battle with the Polu Navy to take control of the warships, so the Polu Navy soldiers set fire to This can only happen if you have the gunpowder pack on the gun deck.
Boom, boom, boom, explosions one after another, and another thick smoke and fire rising up, Zheng Zhilong's heart was slowly sinking.
Three or four occurred in a row, which shows that this is not an accidental occurrence at all, but a military rule of the opponent.
As long as the battleship is likely to be lost, then it is self-destruction.
This Zhao Lie is so ruthless.
Only such a ruthless person can train such ferocious subordinates.
Zheng Zhilong lived in the Japanese country for many years and married the daughter of a young warrior of the Japanese country as his head wife.
He was very clear about the aggressive and ruthless nature of the Japanese.
He had a team of Japanese ronin warriors under him.
This team has superior combat power and dares to fight in close combat.
But Zhao Lie was able to force Tokugawa Iemitsu, the current number one man in Japan, to surrender.
He was truly the most brave general in the world.
If Zheng Zhilong had doubts about this before, now he saw everything violent in front of him and had no doubts anymore.
To be able to defeat such opponents, Zheng Zhilong didn't know how much confidence he had before the war was left.
There was fierce fighting in the southeast, and the northeast was not idle either.
Zheng Cai led ninety gunboats and more than twenty cannons to break through the Polu army's defense line.
They sailed at full speed to the west where the Polu army warships were entangled with the allied warships.
Maybe they don't have many warships and fire ships left, but Zheng Cai, as a partial division, still has to fight hard.
Giving the main force led by the family leader a chance is what their partial division should do.
The more than a hundred warships are not too big, but when they attack from the northeast, the pressure on the Polu army's forward is still great.
After all, their forward often has to fight against several enemy warships with one warship.
Lan San led the Li Daozong to the rear of the coalition forces and was now confronting the more than 900-ton San Jose.
There are fifty-one heavy guns on the Tang-class battleship.
The smallest one is an eighteen-pound gun, and there are also twenty-four-pound guns and thirty-six-pound guns.
It is said that there are definitely a lot of heavy guns.
But the pervert on the opposite side is the San Jose, the flagship of the Manila fleet.
This battleship is huge, equipped with 12-pound guns, 18-pound guns, 24-pound guns, and 36-pound guns, a total of more than 80 guns, and three guns on the side.
More than ten doors.
The two warships were about a mile away from each other and were firing at each other.
This was really a duel between giant ships and cannons.
The heavy cannons from both sides traded blows until the other side fell.
The San Jose took the lead.
Two thirty-six-pounder shells completely destroyed one of the mainmasts of the Li Daozong, and a projectile broke through the sailor's cabin on the upper deck of the Li Daozhong.

Fortunately, it was during the fierce battle that the crew were busy on board. , there were not many people inside, and it only caused the death of a left-behind sailor.
The Li Daozong's counterattack arrived immediately, and four projectiles hit the San Jose.
One of the Tiago can openers broke the gun deck, destroying two cannons on the side of the San Jose and injuring several people.
Other projectiles hit the upper deck, and some hit the main sail and gaff sail, leaving the San Jose in a panic.
So the two warships began to bombard the opponent with heavy artillery.
Often a shot from one side would trigger a shower of wood chips on the other side, and a shot from the other side would cause a huge cloud of smoke that lingered for a long time.
After a fierce battle that lasted for a meal, the Li Daozong's gaff, two of the four mainmasts were shattered, and four of the eight mainsails were broken.
At this time, the steering of the Li Daozong became a problem, and the ship's speed was even lower than normal.
There is not even half of it, which looks extremely miserable from the outside.
The artillery deck also suffered heavy losses.
One-third of the cannons and personnel were damaged.
Even the left arm of Commander Qian Er was hit by two pieces of wood and is now crooked to the side.
The post of Commander Qian is replaced by a gunner. .
Although the Li Daozong was in a mess, the San Jose was even worse.
Three of the five mainmasts shattered and fell over, and more than ten sailors were injured or killed.
The artillery deck turned into a slaughterhouse.
Most of the gunners were injured or killed.
Blood and mutilated limbs splashed all over the deck.
Some gunners were so stimulated by such a tragic scene that they fled.
They would rather jump into the sea than stay on the bloody deck.
Two-thirds of the guns in the San Jose's gun deck were destroyed.
The destructive power of the twelve 24-pound and 36-pound Tiago can openers on the Lee Do-jong was undoubtedly demonstrated.
The rain of wood chips caused by these projectiles It was literally raining death and terror.
Now there are only two 18-pound guns on the side still firing back weakly, but in a few moments, the San Jose will be completely defenseless.
Sanders was now shivering and hiding in the bow cabin of the ship.
A corner of the cabin had been shattered by projectiles.
He could clearly look out at the smoky sea outside.
The sea breeze kept blowing in from the outside, and it was really cold.
Sanders is now sitting behind the case and constantly praying to the God he believes in devoutly, hoping that they can escape from this disaster.
At this time, he is extremely regretful.
Why did he believe in the strength of several warships together?
How could he I believed in Zheng Zhilong, who had always been cunning, otherwise why would he have ended up where he was now.
As if his prayers finally had an effect, the Zheng family's warships swarmed into the battlefield, and their numbers temporarily occupied an absolute advantage on the east side.
Less than ten patrol ships of the Polu Army and more than twenty Zheng family gunboats began to bombard each other.
Other Zheng family warships pounced on the Polu warships to the west, and Li Daozong, commanded by Lan San, was the first to bear the brunt.
The Li Daozong had gone through an artillery battle, and now it was half-impaired and could no longer turn smoothly.
The forward commander Yang Geng was eyeing this opponent who was unable to move easily.
He also remembered what the family leader Zheng Zhilong said about capturing the opponent's warship sailor artillery.
He immediately commanded three gunboats to surround him.
Yang Geng believed that his contribution to capturing this huge ship was not small.
He reckoned that the larger Polu warship that was vaguely visible behind him would be too much, but the Polu warship that was twice the size of his ship in front of him was already huge enough, and its sails were damaged, making it difficult to move and moving at a slow speed.
It was taking advantage of his illness to kill him. good times.
At this time, Lan San had no time to pay attention to the half-dead San Jose.
The Zheng family gunboats on the opposite side, which were eyeing the enemy and surrounding them, were the Li Daozong's biggest enemy.
The Li Daozong is turning slowly now.

Seeing the enemies surrounding the bow, there is no good way to do it.
"First mate, order the armored men to assemble.
Our ship can no longer dodge."
Lan San made a prompt decision.
The first mate took the order and left.
There were more than a hundred armored men on the Tang-class battleship, which was a lot of people.
With an order, all the armored men lined up on the deck.
In a short time, a small and neat military formation formed on the deck, with battle flags flying and high morale.
Bang bang bang, there were successive collisions, and the three gunboats collided with each other one after another.
The two sides began to shoot at each other across the side of the ship, with firecrackers and bows and arrows hitting each other crazily.
However, compared to the siege of the three warships, the armor on the Li Daozong chose to endure and retreated to wait for the enemy to board the ship.
This later proved to be a big mistake.
The Zheng family sailors from the three warships swarmed on board.
They used iron shields and leather shields to protect themselves and approached the armored men.
At this time, Yang Geng and his personal guards also boarded the Li Daozong.
The bloody battle ahead made him extremely surprised.
The other side's sailors formed a military formation to cooperate with each other and acted together.
In just a few encounters, the Zheng family's sailors paid a heavy price.
In just over a hundred breaths of time, dozens of Zheng family sailors fell to the ground and struggled for their lives, while the opponent only had more than ten casualties.
Yang Geng knew at a glance that his sailors were no match.
The opponent's military formation was too weird.
If the battle continued like this, the three hundred or so men might not be enough to fill the gap.
"Bring in all the fire gunners, and bring in some Hongtianlei."
Yang Geng made an immediate decision.
The leader of the soldiers hurriedly sent someone back to the ship to get it.
By the time five or six thunderbolts arrived, the front was already bloody.
In a short period of time, nearly a hundred Zheng family sailors fell dead.
At this time, Yang Geng was already jumping to his feet, seeing that his sailor was about to collapse.
Anyone who faced such a fierce enemy would feel numb.
"Hurry up and throw the thunder up."
Yang Geng was really anxious.
"Sir, there are still our sailors there."
The guard was very embarrassed, this thing was not accurate.
"Listen to my general's orders."
Yang Geng's eyes widened.
"Yes, yes," the leader of the soldiers agreed hastily.
Yang Geng was famous for killing someone with a glare.
Several soldiers ignited the Thunderbolt and ran close to the lines of both sides, struggling to throw the Thunderbolt.
Lan San stood in the middle of the team and was nervously arranging manpower.
After all, there were more than 40 casualties on his side, and the original formation was a bit scattered.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed above his head, and he swung the knife with quick hands and eyes.
A heavy iron object was knocked several steps away and fell to the ground, followed by a loud bang.
Lan San's head buzzed and he stumbled to the ground.
Several soldiers around him also fell.
Li Daozong's armored formation was severely damaged
