Five hundred and ninetieth chapters ashore

On the battlefield, is a safe distance of 300 meters?

If this problem is put into later generations, even those with a little military knowledge will be amused? Not to mention professional snipers, even the precise shooter in the army will never hit your left eye if he says he wants to hit your right eye.

However, in this era where cold weapons are still the main ones, this distance will undoubtedly make the best archers feel desperate. Although Zheng Zhilong had fought with the Jiangning Army several times, he also understood that the Jiangning Army was a unit dominated by firearms.

Everyone, including him, believed that for a musket with an effective range of less than 100 meters, 300 meters is an absolutely safe distance, but he did not understand that this distance is not insurmountable for Yang Feng who was driving.

So he died. A 7N1 special sniper bullet hit his chest. The narrow warhead penetrated his body at a speed of 850 meters per second, and then penetrated his body at a speed of 570 meters per second, instantly pulling his body out of a hole as big as a bowl. In just a few seconds, the amount of bleeding instantly reached 1,000 milliliters.

Zheng Zhilong died. When the bullets got kinetic energy to shatter the muscles and heart parts of his body, he died a few seconds later. He died very simply and without pain.

And with his death, the pirates who were already in awe of power also completely collapsed.

The Zheng Family Group is a pirate group established with the three brothers of the Zheng family as the core. With the death of Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhilong one after another, especially the death of Zheng Zhilong, the morale of the entire pirate group suddenly fell to the lowest point.

"Not good... the boss died... the boss died..."

"Brothers, the boss is dead, run away!"

Fear spread throughout the fleet in the shortest time like a plague. The pirates who were originally very strong and fearless and were fighting to death to attack the Fujian Navy were in a panic. Countless people were asking the people around them about the truth about the death of the Zheng brothers, but more and more people knew that the three brothers of the Zheng family were already dead, especially after Zheng Zhilong was dead, many pirates even turned the bow of the ship and began to flee backwards.

Yes, they fled. These pirates fled when they had gained the advantage and had seen the dawn of victory. Although there were still many leaders affiliated with Shibazhi who tried their best to restrain and ordered the pirates to continue their attack, no one listened to them except their very few confidants, and many ships, especially those cargo ships that only carried pirates without firepower, were even more so.

"Big brother...Second brother..."

On a fast ship in the distance, Zheng Zhibao, who looked as pale as paper, stared at the chaotic fleet ahead, with hatred, resentment and disbelief in his eyes.

"Brother is really dead? It's impossible. I think my Zheng brothers have been in the sea for many years, and they have always been invincible and defeated, and even the red-haired Japanese have to look up to us. Why are the eldest brother and second brother all dead today? You are all dead, what's the use of my life?"

Listening to Zheng Zhibao's nagging words, the confidants around him were panicked. One of them was afraid that he would not be able to think so, so he knelt on the ground and cried: "Fifth Master, now the boss and the second boss are gone, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise if you also left the young master and wife who were far away in Fusang, wouldn't they be even more helpless!"

"Yes, my elder brother has two children, Mori'er and Jiro. If I die, wouldn't they be even more helpless?" Zheng Zhibao said Nannan. "No, I can't die yet. My elder brother and my second brother are no longer here. I must survive to take care of my sister-in-law, Mori'er and Jiro, but before that I have to go to the Hezhe City."

After saying that, Zheng Zhibao began to gather the fleet, gathered some of the leaders and pirates who were loyal to him on weekdays, and took advantage of the chaos to escape to the north.

As soon as Zheng Zhibao left, the pirates who had lost their command began to get in chaos. Liu Xiang and Lu Guangbiao, who were originally commanding the fleet to resist, would certainly not miss this opportunity. They were overjoyed and immediately commanded the fleet to chase and kill them. For a moment, amid the rumbling of cannons, pirate ships were shot one after another, either sinking to the bottom of the sea or losing motivation, floating on the sea like dead fish.

The battle lasted until the evening, and the sound of cannons stopped slowly when the sight was blurred.

"Marty, it's too late and I can't see clearly."

On the sea near Bon Port, Liu Xiang said with some regret.

As night fell, the light around Bon Port became very dim, with visibility less than 20 or 30 meters. The telescope could only see a ball of fire and saw artillery firing, but it was hard to see where the shells fell and how much damage it caused. Although the rumbling sound of cannons continued to come, even the gunners who fired the cannon did not know how effective the shells were.

"Login!"

Yang Feng said lightly.

"Marty, it's getting late at this time, otherwise we'd better wait until dawn tomorrow and take the big army and then get ashore." Liu Xiang said with some concern.

In the original plan, their mission today was to fight a decisive battle with Zheng Zhilong's fleet. Only after most or all of Zheng Zhilong's fleets were annihilated will subsequent cargo ships and merchant ships transport Jiangning troops to Bon Port for landing.

But as the saying goes, the plan did not change quickly. Everyone, including Yang Feng, originally thought that it would take several days of hard battles and severe casualties to defeat Zheng Zhilong. Unexpectedly, they would destroy all Zheng Zhilong's fleet within one day, achieving such brilliant results. So now they encountered a new problem, that is, these pirates were defeated so quickly that they were not ready to land at all.

"No...you can't wait until tomorrow." Yang Feng shook his head and said seriously: "Don't forget that there are tens of thousands of people in Bon Port. If the weakness makes the defeated pirates return to Bon Port and arrange and deploy calmly, even one night will be enough for them to do a lot of things. If there are some desperate pirates burning, killing and looting at Bon Port, when our people land in Bon Port, they may see ruins and corpses everywhere."

Liu Xiang was shocked when she heard this.

She had been in Zheng Zhilong's group for many years and knew the nature of those pirates. Usually, there was Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu suppressed him. The pirates were not guilty of the people of Bon Port, but now the people who could suppress them are dead. I am afraid no one can guarantee what these pirates who were in despair would do.

"It's still the Marquis who thought it carefully, but this is a negligence." Thinking of this, a layer of sweat suddenly oozed out of Liu Xiang's smooth forehead.
