    Looking at the Ming army warships blocked in front of him, Farley suddenly smiled on his face, but that smile was full of grief, anger and unwillingness.  The Dutch fleet, which had been at sea for many years, was annihilated in this way, and his heart felt like a knife.  Seemingly foreseeing the end of the Dutch maritime era, Farley now finally realized how desperate the Spanish were after the defeat of the Armada.  How much I want to tell my boss, how much I want to tell my colleagues that the Ming Dynasty, which we have always looked down upon, has finally taken action against us.  His attack was so powerful that he was unable to resist at all.  Although his thoughts were flying wildly, the battleship was still moving at full speed, rushing towards the Ming fleet on the opposite side.  White smoke and fire, this was Farley's last impression. Countless lines of fire flew towards him, and then there was a huge explosion.  He seemed to fly up, but his consciousness was quickly annihilated, and Farley finally realized that he was dead. ?? Laughing and picking up the telescope on his chest, Yu Zigao looked at the fragments of the warship floating on the sea, and his mood suddenly felt great.  He looked back at the messenger and said with a smile: "The fleet gathered, leaving two warships to clean the battlefield, and the rest of the warships moved forward at full speed and headed straight for Penghu. I want to capture Penghu before dark, and we will go to Penghu for dinner.  , Capture Penghu and I¡¯ll give you some meat!¡± ¡°The general has an order, capture Penghu, go to Penghu for dinner, and the commander will give you some meat!¡± The order was quickly passed on, and the fleet quickly regrouped and headed towards Penghu.  Rushed over.  After the fleet left, I remembered the crisp sound of gunfire. It was the warships cleaning the battlefield and re-firing the Dutch soldiers who fell into the water.  "Uncle, this battle was really enjoyable!" Looking at Zhang Yukun with a smile, Yu Zigao couldn't hide the joy on his face, such a victory without casualties.  It made him very excited.  Shaking his head gently, Zhang Yukun's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason why we were able to win so easily this time is because of the carelessness and arrogance of the Dutch. Of course, we also have something to do with the unequal strength of our troops. But it's all  Don't be arrogant. The battlefield is changing rapidly. As a commander, you should be unfazed by favors and humiliations. How can you behave like this? Remember, an arrogant soldier will be defeated!" Yu Zi looked at Zhang Yukun with a serious face.  Gao suddenly remembered his father, who taught him this way back then.  But I was young and frivolous.  Have you ever understood your father's mood?  Hearing such similar words again, thinking about his father's disappointed look at that time, Yu Zigao's mood suddenly surged.  After bowing respectfully to Zhang Yukun, Yu Zigao said seriously: "Thank you, uncle, for your teaching. My nephew understands!" Perhaps because of his age, Yu Zigao treated this uncle who was younger than himself.  Although he was respectful on the surface, he was really a bit conflicted in his heart.  However, through this period of contact, Yu Zigao found that his junior uncle was very capable of constantly training soldiers and fighting, and he was also very experienced in doing things.  At this time, Yu Zigao, experiencing the teachings like a father, regarded this young uncle as his elder from the bottom of his heart.  Zhang Yukun nodded slowly and said to Yu Zigao: "Wait a moment to attack Penghu. You and Qi Jin divide the work and cooperate. Qi Jin will lead the troops on a speedboat and go directly to the beach for a landing operation. You will command from behind.  The fleet, shell the artillery on the shore, must destroy the artillery in the port and on the shore." Yu Zigao nodded slowly, and he would not object to the battle plan formulated by Zhang Yukun.  He has already annihilated ten Dutch warships, so there won't be too many in the port.  Yu Zigao was still confident in this point. After all, there was Xu Xinsu on his ship who knew the Dutch very well.  The sound of cannons rumbled and the smoke filled the air.  The sea water was splashed high, and there were waves everywhere caused by cannonballs.  Zheng Zhihu waved the knife in his hand and chopped down a Spaniard. He didn't bother to wipe the blood splashed on his face and jumped back to his ship.  "Go forward at full speed. Seize the fort first after landing!" The battle has reached fever pitch, and the two sides are completely locked together. No one will retreat at this time.  Zheng Zhilong finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the warships that washed up on the coast, with a long-lost smile on his face.  As long as he landed ashore, Zheng Zhilong believed that the Spaniards could not stop his offensive.  The cry of killing soon rang out, and the sound of muskets suddenly echoed through the pirates.  "Your Excellency, Commander, are we going to press forward?" Brian looked at Waite with an excited expression on his face and asked loudly, fearing that his voice would be suppressed by the roar of the artillery.  "Charge forward. Once Zheng Zhilong's team retreats, it will be difficult to rush forward! All the warships are moving forward at full speed and landing on the island quickly!" Waite did not dare to delay at all. Compared to Zheng Zhilong, Waite did not  Such good confidence.  The Spanish musketeers are not easy to deal with. Although Zheng Zhilong¡¯s people?It is equipped with fire blunderbuss, but compared with the Spaniards, it is really weak.  Only by keeping up quickly can we successfully annihilate the Spaniards.  "Stop, stop everyone, find a place to hide!" Zheng Zhihu's teeth were about to be broken at this time, these hateful Spaniards!  Looking at his brother who was shot dead with a musket, the muscles in Zheng Zhihu's face twitched.  The Spaniards were obviously well prepared and built fortifications, trenches and barbed wire around the artillery positions so that Zheng Zhihu's men could not rush through.  Standing here, you immediately become a target, and you can only face the Spanish bullets with your flesh and blood.  However, the situation soon improved. As the Dutch fleet pressed forward, the sound of artillery suddenly sounded from the shore.  The Spanish artillery positions were naturally the focus of the bombardment, and there were screams everywhere.  Zheng Zhilong also went ashore at this time. Under the cover of his men, he came to Zheng Zhihu's side. He lowered his voice and said to his younger brother: "Second brother, wait and go over first. The Spaniards can't stop them. You lead the people and go straight."  San Salvador City, go inside and blockade the Spanish gunpowder warehouse first, and then occupy the warehouse. Be sure to seize the good stuff. " "Brother, don't worry, we have wasted so much effort. If we don't make enough money, we are really sorry.  Dead brother!" Zheng Zhihu nodded vigorously. Zheng Zhilong was willing to take the lead in landing. This reason accounted for a large proportion.  The battle soon took on a one-sided situation. As their positions were destroyed, the Spaniards could no longer withstand it and began to retreat.  Zheng Zhihu's men followed closely behind and rushed towards the city not far away.  The Dutch also came ashore, and the entire team of musketeers also began to march towards the city.  The battle lasted for most of the day, and the winner was finally decided. After all, the Spaniards were unable to withstand the coalition forces of the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong.  The city of San Salvador is not very far from the sea. It is more of a fortress than a city.  The high city walls and huge artillery turned the entire city into an indestructible fortress.  Zheng Zhihu¡¯s brows furrowed into a big pimple at this time. Such a fortress is really difficult to conquer.  My brothers are all good at robbing at sea, but they really don't have the ability to attack such a fortress.  Looking back at Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, what should I do?" "These Spaniards are really cheap!" He cursed loudly, and Zheng Zhilong did not expect that things would evolve to this extent.  At this time, the Spaniards actually still had the strength to fight.  After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Zheng Zhilong relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we can't fight in, let the Dutch fight, and we will watch from the back." "Brother, what's inside?" Although Zheng Zhihu  I knew there was no other way, but when I thought about those trophies, the expression on my face suddenly became a little unnatural.  Sighing softly, Zheng Zhilong said with a little helplessness: "Man is not as good as God. Some things cannot be controlled by human power. If the strength of the Dutch can be consumed here, what can we do if we take less things?  ? Send people to keep an eye on it, and just rush in when the city is broken. As long as the Dutch are not allowed to eat alone, they will spit it out sooner or later! " "Yes, brother!" Zheng Zhihu nodded vigorously.  Although I feel unwilling to do so, this is all I can do now.  Seeing this fortress, Waite also had a bad expression, which was beyond his expectation!  The Spaniards were driven out of the Taiwan Strait by the Dutch last time. This time they were naturally well prepared and moved most of their property in Manila. It can be said that it was a desperate move!  Being able to defeat the Spaniards like this is already the reason why Waite is lucky.  If Zheng Zhilong's growth had not been anticipated, the Dutch might not have been able to take advantage of the Spaniards this time.  "Mr. Zheng, what's going on now, do you have any good suggestions?" Waite walked to Zheng Zhilong's side and asked in a deep voice, with unconcealable fatigue on his face.  Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised at once, but without saying any more words, he spoke directly: "Your Excellency, Commander, we just rushed to the island and suffered heavy losses. We are really powerless to attack the city. Besides, my brothers are really not good at this.  "The next step is to see what the Commander does!" Having made up his mind not to take action, Zheng Zhilong immediately expressed his attitude. He could not lose too much strength here. This was Zheng Zhilong's bottom line.  After hearing Zheng Zhilong¡¯s words, Waite immediately cursed in his heart, Zheng Zhilong, this old fox!  But at this time, Waite is in a dilemma. Is he really going to attack?  While Waite was hesitating, the Ming Dynasty's navy was already heading towards Penghu!  If he could get this news, he might never hesitate again.
