Zhang Huan endured the grief in his heart and took control of the giant ship Wang Jian to pursue the enemy in the east.
Although he knew in his heart that Lan San might be able to survive, he knew in his heart that there was no hope.
According to his understanding of Lan San, Lan San Three, if you don't know how to abandon the ship and escape, you and the ship will surely perish.
I remember that the three children went to the sea to fish together and joined the army together.
They worked hard in the navy, went south to Nanyang, and went east to Korea and Japan.
They made many military exploits in the Polu army and finally reached their current status.
Zhang Huan did not expect that they would meet in this situation.
According to his original thinking, they might be damaged in battle when they were sailors and bosuns, and he was mentally prepared for this dangerous job, whether it was Being swallowed by the sea or dying in battle are all too normal.
But when the captain of a large battleship was killed in this way, Zhang Huan really didn't expect that Lan San's death was so tragic.
When he thought of his sister at home who was eagerly waiting for Lan San's return, Zhang Huan was heartbroken.
Zhang Huan stood at the bow of the boat for a long time.
Except for a few guards around him, no one else disturbed him.
Everyone knows the relationship between Captain Lan San of the Li Daozong and Zhang Huan.
The tragic situation of the Li Daozong today made the captain stand at the bow of the ship for a long time without saying a word.
Of course, others did not dare to disturb him.
They just wanted to comfort the captain and could Say something.
The Wang Jian passed by several places where the Polu Army patrol ships were fighting against the Zheng family's gunboats.
Because the Polu Army's advantage was too obvious, Zhang Huan did not order the Wang Jian to join the battle.
One is that the opponent is already at a disadvantage, so there is no need to let the Wang Jian participate in the battle.
The other is that Zhang Huan firmly believes that the enemy ship behind must have high-ranking enemy generals.
This is common sense, and this convention is the same for both the team and the navy.
The Wang Jian continued to move north, accompanied only by a patrol ship and a clipper ship.
The clipper ship was exploring for several miles ahead, and the Wang Jian and the patrol ship followed behind.
After driving like this for more than half an hour, the clipper ship in front suddenly fired a cannon, and then the flag came up to indicate that there was an enemy ship ahead.
However, the two warships behind still saw no trace of the ship, but the clipper ship's alarm showed that there must be an enemy warship ahead.
Bang bang bang, a series of artillery warning sounds, indicating that the opponent is not one warship but multiple warships.
These artillery pieces awakened Zhang Huan.
He suddenly discovered that he was still the captain of a main battleship and was on the way to pursue the enemy.
At the same time, he could avenge Lan San and take care of Lan San's children as they grew up.
He It can't just be sad.
Zhang Huan recovered some energy and began to order the whole ship to prepare for war.
After sailing for several more miles, the sailors at the observation deck reported that there were more than ten Zheng family gunboats in the northwest direction.
The more than ten Zheng family gunboats, if they were two patrol ships, would be a headache, but for an 800-ton Song-class battleship, it would be nothing more than a minor trouble.
The battleship continued to move forward.
Thanks to the low hull, the removal of all bow cabins that were unfavorable for navigation, and the ten huge sails, the speed of the Song-class battleship was not only no slower than that of the cruise ship, but even slightly faster.
The Wang Jian split the light blue water and chased the enemy at full speed.
The enemy also changed from the shadow of a sail on the horizon to a ship a few miles away.
They were eleven Zheng family gunboats.
This is also the last battleship that the fleet led by Zheng Cai and Yang Geng can gather together.
The person who commanded him was Yang Geng.
As for Zheng Cai, his ship was stuck in the sea area where the battle was put down.
Only Yang Geng escaped, and he happened to be commanding the eleven gunboats that were still in harmony and fled towards the northwest.
According to Yang Geng's idea, the fleet fled north, remembering to head west, and finally approached the waters of Fujian and then south.
This way it could avoid the detection of the Polu Navy and return to its home base safely.
But he didn't expect that the soldiers of the Polu Army behind him would be so persistent and pursue him closely.

Yang Geng was now on his ship looking at the huge black and gray enemy hull behind him.
There were no other warships blocking the surroundings.
The Wang Jian looked extremely majestic against the backdrop of the patrol ships next to it.
This warship with four mainmasts and eight huge sails was constantly approaching their fleet.
Its huge front sail pointed straight into the sky, facing the Zheng family's fleet in the waves.
A few days ago, Yang Geng would have thought about fighting this giant beast.
After all, there were eleven warships and the opponent only had two.
However, after these two days of battle, Yang Geng became much less courageous.
He knew that although his warships were numerous, they were no match for him.
There was a road in front of him.
He sent his gunboats to resist one by one and cover his ship's escape.
Yang Geng immediately ordered six warships to stay to block the two warships under Zhao Lie, and the other warships turned westward.
Now that Yang Geng is the boss, no one dares to resist his orders.
Even if there are thousands of unwillingnesses among these six warships, they have to reduce their speed and start to arrange their formations.
Yang Geng seized the opportunity to escape as soon as possible, after all, it was getting late.
Zhang Huan paid attention to the enemy's formation, and the meaning of cutting off his tail to survive was too obvious.
The Wang Jian continued to move forward.
When it was close to more than a mile away from the enemy ship, the gunboat in front started playing tricks.
These warships knew very well how powerful the artillery on the flanks of the Polu warships was, so they set up a formation, that is, they went all out to block the front of the Wang Jian.
The purpose is to prevent the Wang Jian from facing the enemy sideways.
If the Wang Jian turns around and starts to slow down the ship, then they will have completed the task of blocking the enemy.
At that time, no matter how the Wang Jian turns around, they will always have gunboats to block the way forward.
After several encirclements, which greatly affected the enemy's pursuit speed, these warships were able to escape and take care of themselves.
However, they never expected that the captain opposite them would be heartbroken.
Zhang Huan saw his opponent's intention at a glance, but he did not order the ship to turn, but rammed directly towards the enemy.
These gunboats are a little stupid.
What to do?
You look at the mountain-like warships crashing directly into them.
This kind of fear is unimaginable.
When the warship was still two hundred steps away, the Zheng family's gunboats began to hurriedly move out of the waterway.
They knew that if this giant ship collided with it, it would capsize.
The six gunboats were dodging while bombarding them with artillery.
Zhang Huan and the sailors on the deck all began to avoid the gunfire.
At this time, there was no need to change the course, they just needed to rush forward.
The Wang Jian passed through several gunboats.
When they were crossing each other, the Wang Jian fired three fierce salvos at these warships.
Wang Jian fired three salvos from left and right, severely damaging three gunboats and slightly damaging one gunboat.
The destructive power of the thirty-six and forty-eight pound Tiago pellets at such close range was terrifying.
The two gunboats were directly disemboweled, with large holes on the waterline, and began to sink.
There were no big holes on the waterline of the ship, but the four big holes on the sides were almost connected, which greatly slowed down the ship.
The Wang Jian didn't stop at all and continued moving forward, leaving the three or two remaining kittens here with the patrol ship.
If a coast guard ship cannot deal with two Zheng family gunboats, then the captain may as well throw himself into the sea and commit suicide.
Zhang Huan doesn't have that much time to deal with these little cubs.
Yang Geng watched the chasing enemy behind him pass through the obstruction of his warships without any disturbance.
He couldn't help but cursed loudly, they were all losers.

At this time, Yang Geng had only one move available.
He used his flag to contact the other five warships.
When the Wang Jian caught up to more than a mile away, the five warships suddenly divided into two large groups, three in total.
The warship headed west, and a group of two gunboats headed east.
This gave Zhang Huan a lot of trouble.
There must be high-ranking generals from the other side, but whether they were more or less.
Zhang Huan almost instinctively eliminated the excess, and he ordered the warship to sail towards the two warships.
At this time, Yang Geng, who was heading north, was in a state of shock.
He didn't expect that the other party was staring at his warship so accurately.
He was deliberately on the two ships to confuse the enemy.
He hurriedly ordered the sailors to move closer to the three warships to the west, and at the same time, the flag ordered the three warships to move closer to his warship.
Unfortunately, at this time, these three gunboats were like blind men who pretended not to see them and continued to escape westward.
They made it clear that they were unwilling to continue to be cannon fodder, and believed that Yang Geng might not be able to return to Anping even if he was furious.
Of course, a boss who was doomed would no longer obey orders.
So Yang Geng sadly discovered that he and another warship were abandoned by other warships, and they had to face this huge Polu army ship sailing alone.
At this time, the battleship also suddenly separated from the ship with Yang Geng.
The purpose was obviously to stay away from Yang Geng, the god of plague, and further away.
Yang Geng therefore fell into a situation where everyone was betrayed and separated from his relatives.
To make matters worse, Yang Geng, who was jumping up and down on the boat and waving flags, had been watched by the lookout post of the Wang Jian, who reported to Zhang Huan, well, that was the opponent's flagship, and he was jumping the most happily.
The Wang Jian directly drove Yang Geng's flagship.
The contest between the two sides was not at all level.
After two shellings, Yang Geng's flagship was blown up and drifted on the sea.
It was so miserable.
Yang Geng happily raised his flag and surrendered.
He had not lived enough and did not want to sink into the sea to feed the fish and shrimps.
The matter seemed to have come to an end here.
After all, the Polu army generally did not kill prisoners of their own tribe.
But people's hearts are really fickle.
Under the interrogation of Zhenfu and Xuanfu under the command of Wang Jian, they learned Yang Geng's name from those sailors of the Zheng family.
This was one of the most famous naval generals under Zheng Zhilong.
Of course, it was sold once, and then there was no lower limit.
The news that Yang Geng commanded several warships to besiege and burn an Ming warship was also interrogated.
The name of this battleship was also interrogated.
How could I not remember the name of the opponent who had been fighting for a long time?
What's more, the names of the naval battleships of the Polu Army were painted on the sides.
The name of this battleship was Li Daozong.
Zhang Huan is the captain, so Zhen Fu and Xuan Fu must of course report to him the identity of the enemy general and the course of the battle.
Zhang Huan laughed ferociously upon hearing this
