The two sides on the battlefield were already exhausted. At this time, a new force like six third-tier battleships suddenly appeared, and there was no suspense about the outcome.

Although Zheng Zhilong couldn't figure out where Xia Guo conjured up these six battleships, he had no time to think about it.

How to retreat as soon as possible and preserve his own strength as much as possible has left him in a state of desperation.

The chaotic Zheng's fleet, regardless of whether they heard his order or not, began to turn around and flee.

Pirates are like that.

When fighting with the wind, one is more brave than the other.

And once the defeat is decided, it will be unwilling to escape.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong has his own brother, otherwise he would be kicked out by Xia Guohai's navy.

When Zheng Zhibao saw the order from Zheng Zhilong, without any hesitation, he immediately led his fleet towards the Xia Kingdom Navy.

He knew it was a fight to the death.

But in order to cover Zheng Zhilong's withdrawal, he could only sacrifice himself.

There was no dust on E Honglue's clothing, and it was as clean as washing, which made him very satisfied.

Seeing Zheng's fleet rushing in the opposite direction, he just ordered Shao Qingfu, the captain of the flagship Yanzhou: "Young man, it's up to you to take command. Let me see, how are you doing?"

Shao Qingfu understood that E Honglue was giving their young people a chance to practice.

He nodded gratefully and stepped forward to take over the command.

"Give orders to the ships to sail southwest and attack the enemy with the port gun."

The six battleships lined up and slowly turned a small turn to the southwest.In this way, the artillery on the port side aimed at Zheng Zhibao who rushed up.

Zheng Zhibao now only has more than [-] ships in his hands, none of which have as many artillery pieces as Xia Guo's navy.

In just the first round of shelling, one-third of the boat in Zheng Zhibao's hands was lost.

But the more this happened, the more Zheng Zhibao understood that Xia Guo's navy must not be let go.

He looked at the situation on the sea. At this time, the Xia Guo fleet was still more than [-] meters away. With the performance of the warship in his hand, it was impossible to rush to the front anyway.

He simply ordered that all the warships also start to turn, and I also went southwest.

In this way, although they were always within the range of the Xia army's artillery strikes, they blocked the path of the six battleships going south directly.

In a word, if you don't completely eliminate him, don't try to catch up with Zheng Zhilong.

After all, Shao Qingfu was still a little tender, and the number of battleships in his hand was too small, so he didn't dare to take risks.We can only honestly let the ships keep firing and attack Zheng Zhibao.

On the sea, the artillery hit rate is very impressive.

Both sides are moving rapidly, which increases the difficulty of hitting.

As a result, it took an hour to fight back and forth before finally completely destroying the warship in Zheng Zhibao's hands.

At this time, Wang Chang had already led the squadron that had cleaned up the battlefield to follow up.

Shao Qingfu signaled Wang Chang to clean up the battlefield.On the other hand, he led six battleships to the south at high speed, hoping to expand the results of the battle.

But after all, it took a long time. Even if the battleship played at full speed and chased to the southernmost island chain, it was only then that Zheng Zhilong's fleet turned into the depths of the channel.

"Okay, stop and stop chasing."

E Honglue was always watching from the sidelines, and didn't say a word to remind him until this time.

"Teacher, are you going to let Zheng Zhilong go like this?"

Shao Qingfu felt that he did not play well and was very upset.

He didn't know that E Honglue was actually very satisfied with his performance.

Stepping into the battlefield for the first time, commanding a new type of fleet can achieve such a stable record, at least he doesn't have to worry about losing to experienced opponents in the future.

"The islands in front of us are criss-crossed and the waterways are narrow. We don't know the situation inside. If Zheng Zhilong lays an ambush, it will be very disadvantageous. You should understand the principle of not being chased by the poor."

These six warships are huge in size, and the corresponding flexibility is a bit worse.

There are no obstacles on the wide ocean, and you can gallop at will.But entering the narrow waterway fork, there is no way to deal with changes.

In addition, the sun was setting to the west at this time, and the light was gradually dimming, so it was no longer suitable for continuing to fight.

Under the auspices of E Honglue, Xia Guo's navy began to withdraw its troops after winning a big victory.

Zuo Hua handed over the task of chasing Zheng Zhilong to E Honglue.

This is mainly due to two considerations.

First, E Honglue is about to leave the front line, and Zuo Hua wants to add merit to him.

Although Zuo Hua has an arrogant personality, it is against the enemy.But for his own people, it is as good as protecting his shortcomings.

Second, the four warships of the East China Sea Fleet have been exhausted after a day of fierce battle.Moreover, the battleship was severely damaged and could no longer exert its performance advantages.

Although E Honglue failed to catch up with Zheng Zhilong and achieve the goal of complete annihilation.But after this battle, more than [-] warships of the Zheng family were eliminated, which can be described as an earth-shattering victory.

It can be said that from now on, Zheng Zhilong can only linger on his last breath, and has no ability to fight back.

On various battlefields, Xia Guo's navy began to clean up.

All the people who fell into the water, whether they belonged to Xia Jun or Zheng's, were picked up one by one.

Zheng Zhifeng was unconscious when he fell into the water, but he didn't die, and became a prisoner of Xia Jun.

Zheng Zhibao knew that the overall situation was settled, and he wanted to die.

Seeing Xia Jun coming up, he refused to obey, but kept thumping in the water, waiting for his strength to be exhausted and sink to the bottom of the sea.

Xia Jun was not polite to him, and directly cast a big net, wrapping him tightly, like a big fish being dragged into the boat.

Hearing that Zheng Zhibao had been caught, Zuo Hua hurried over with a smile.

"Brother Zheng, what do you say now?"

Zheng Zhibao was tied up and unable to move.Just gritted your teeth and showed no fear.

"If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. There are no cowards in my Zheng family, so don't expect me to give in to you."

Zuo Hua was very happy to catch a tit-for-tat opponent.

"You are now a prisoner of my Xia army. How to deal with you, my Xia army has its own rules. Just wait, and you will get what you deserve."

When Zheng Zhibao saw the unconscious Zheng Zhifeng carried on a stretcher by soldiers of the Xia Army, tears filled his eyes.

"Fourth brother!"

However, Zheng Zhifeng couldn't hear his voice at all, and his face looked a little swollen after soaking in the water for a long time.

This made Zheng Zhibao misunderstand.

"A man surnamed Zuo can't kill without nodding his head. Today, the man is defeated, so he has nothing to say. You don't even spare the dead?"

Zuo Hua was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"What are you thinking? He's not dead, he's just in a coma. Take it to the military doctor, maybe he can be revived."

Hearing that Zheng Zhifeng was not dead, Zheng Zhibao was overjoyed.

I didn't even realize that the idea of ​​wanting to die has gradually faded away.

The sky gradually darkened, and the battle temporarily came to an end.

The Xia Guo Fleet occupied Daxie Mountain, preparing to recuperate, and then meet the follow-up battle.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong led the remaining troops and stationed at the southernmost tip of Hengdao.

In addition to being terrified of all battles, he needs to think carefully about what to do in the future.
