Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 150 Old Rival

"Boom, boom, boom..." Although there was still a distance of hundreds of feet, the enemy's big ship couldn't help it and fired wildly.

No way, their losses were too great, at least fifty of the small boats that went to encircle and suppress them were lost.

More importantly, they knew that the boat carrying Tangning had already escaped, so how could they hold back.

If Tangning was allowed to escape under the siege of so many of them, Shi Fu could imagine Zheng Zhilong's anger.

That's right, the Commander Zheng Jun who came to meet him this time was none other than Tangning's old opponent, Shi Fu.

Originally, after that big defeat, both he and Zheng Cai were punished and their official positions were deprived.

But Zheng Cai is Zheng Zhilong's nephew, and it didn't take long for him to take an opportunity to be reused again.

But Shi Fu didn't have such a good life. Although he was a veteran of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, his defeat was too complete.

And he is mainly responsible, because he did not ascertain accurate information, which finally led to the big defeat.

But Xiao He was defeated, and Xiao He was successful. Shi Fu was able to return to his post again, thanks to Tangning who defeated him.

Because the new army defeated the Dutch, it seemed that Zheng Zhilong felt that Shi Fu's defeat was also justifiable.

Although it was indirectly because of Tangning's reappointment, Shi Fu's hatred for Tangning did not decrease much, so he was always thinking about revenge.

Finally, this opportunity came his way. When he learned that Tangning had been arrested, he was both excited and sighed.

Excitedly, that guy who was in full swing finally fell into the trap set by Mr. Zheng.

The sigh is that he didn't catch people.

But no matter what, he was still very excited as long as he could see that mighty guy tied up in front of him.

But unexpectedly, the mission that was supposed to be foolproof suddenly changed.

He suddenly saw the fireworks rising from the sea in the distance, no, they were much brighter than the fireworks, and he couldn't be more familiar with them.

In the Battle of Huanggang, it was after such bright fireworks rose from the sky that shells fell like raindrops.

The horrible explosion made the whole team into chaos, and it also kicked off the prelude to his failure.

So after seeing this kind of fireworks again, Shi Fu immediately had a bad feeling, and quickly ordered the boat to scout the situation.

His big ship didn't even dare to approach at full speed, for fear of encountering another indiscriminate bombing by the new army.

He couldn't even carry so many super big ships like the Dutch, and he couldn't bear it even more.

It's true that once bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, not to mention the bite was so hard.

It wasn't until after the battle that there were no traps that Shi Fu allowed the main force of the fleet to advance at full speed, but this had already delayed a lot of time, and instead allowed the opposing ship to arrive first.

When he heard that it was Tangning who fired the fireworks, Shi Fu almost vomited blood. He didn't know if he was angry with those who made Tangning escape, or because he was too cautious.

But no matter what, Tangning must not be allowed to run away again, so he hurriedly ordered to chase at full speed, and increased the reward, ordering Tangning to be rewarded with 10 taels of silver.

This order made those faster boats go crazy, so they rushed forward desperately.

Finally, Tangning couldn't take it anymore and jumped into the sea before detonating the boat.

Unexpectedly, the other party's support ship arrived at this time, but there was only one.

Thinking of Tangning's death at the bottom of the sea and the 10 taels of silver flying away, he immediately became angry and wanted to vent his anger on the small boat of the new army.

Both sides got angry, and finally boarded the small boat with the advantage of numbers.

Unexpectedly, Tangning was on that boat, and the feeling of lost and found was suddenly aroused crazily, and the frantic fight was staged again.

Seeing that it was about to end all of this, they didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, catching them by surprise.

The ships and personnel who finally approached the vicinity suffered heavy losses under the raid, and the good situation changed hands again.

After learning that Tang Ning was fleeing in a hurry, Shi Fu was so angry that he wanted to throw those idiots under his command into the sea one by one to feed the fish.

But those idiots didn't need him to help, most of them had already been sent into the sea by the new army to feed the fish.

Shi Fu couldn't care less about anything now. He just wanted to catch Tangning. Even if he couldn't catch her, he couldn't let Tangning go back alive.

Seeing the new army ship staying in place so arrogantly to stop the attack, Shi Fu's expression was ferocious, and he roared and ordered to fire at a distance of hundreds of feet.

The line of sight is not so good at night, the distance is far, and the target is still small, so the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

But Shifu didn't care, and continued to fire while closing the distance.

Finally, Platoon Leader Zhou's ship was hit by enemy artillery fire, and a large gap was made on the starboard side by a projectile. Three soldiers died on the spot, and several others were injured.

Platoon Leader Zhou immediately ordered to retreat, not because he was afraid, but because he saw an enemy ship breaking through the blockade to chase the ship where his lord was.

He said that as long as he was alive, he would stop the enemy's ship from pursuing him at all costs.

Therefore, he retreated while fighting, and rushed towards the enemy ship that was at the forefront in the distance.

As for the soldiers he sent out, he didn't take care of them any more, leaving them standing still to stop them.

It's not that he was cruel, but it was discussed when assigning the task before, and everyone was ready to treat death as home.

For Mr. Tang, no one wants to live.

Otherwise, facing the people of Chaozhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture without a face, he would fail Master Tang's cultivation even more.

They are veterans who fought in the Naval War in South Australia. They beat the proud Dutch to the ground. Now that they have their own pride, how can they let these clowns run wild.

Even if the main force of his navy didn't come, he couldn't lose the prestige of the new army.

"Boom boom boom..."

The enemy's shelling did not stop, and water columns blasted by the shells rose not far from both sides, but no one paid attention to it.

Song Yunwan stood at the stern of the boat, staring blankly at the battle not far away, and the flames of the explosion reflected on her face from time to time.

She closed her eyes slowly when she saw a burst of flames on the ship where Platoon Leader Zhou was on.

When she opened her eyes again, her expression returned to calm, and she turned and returned to the boat canopy.

The only squad leader on the boat stepped forward and said, "Captain Song, I'm afraid the enemy will still catch up before long. We have to find a way."

In the previous battle, the enemy had done some damage to the sails and masts in order to stop the ship after boarding the ship.

Although some urgent repairs were made, the speed was still greatly affected. Platoon Leader Zhou and the others desperately bought some time, but it was not enough for everyone to escape to a safe distance.

Song Yunwan took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to bring back the remains of the brothers."

The squad leader understood the meaning, he immediately went out without saying a word, saluted the corpses of those comrades on the deck, then took the lead in lifting the corpses, and put them into the seawater as gently as possible.

Throwing the remains of their comrades-in-arms into the sea with their own hands is a kind of torture to their hearts.

However, they themselves know that only by reducing the weight can the ship be faster.

They also knew that if Platoon Leader Wu could speak, they would agree with this approach.

After placing the bodies of all his comrades in the vast sea, the squad leader came to Song Yunwan with a calm expression and said, "Battle Commander Song, it doesn't take so many people to sail the boat. I will keep three who are good at sailing."

"The others, I'll take them away."

Before Song Yunwan understood what he meant, she saw him go out, and then took the lead and jumped into the icy sea water without hesitation.

Then, one by one, the soldiers jumped down.

Song Yunwan's eyes widened, this scene deeply touched her.
