Chapter 423： Flee

This ship took the lead to raise the white flag, and several other ships that were required to be broken also decisively found the white cloth and raised the white flag.

After fighting like this, they didn't have the mind to fight anymore.

"Asshole, these greedy rats, I must kill all the men and women in their family when I go back, and all the women will be caught in the barracks and used as prostitutes."

Seeing the white flag raised by the broken troops, Zheng Cai hated to turn the boat back and kill those who surrendered.

The surrender of the troops after the break was another major blow to their morale.

After all, surrendering this kind of thing is afraid of someone taking the lead.

When no one takes the lead, a unit can still be tenacious. But once someone takes the lead, others will have a herd mentality, or jealousy.

It's not fair that others have surrendered to survive, but they have to fight to the death.

When Zheng Cai spoke, she also wanted to deter others from getting off the boat.

Surrender, do you want to keep your family.

As pirates, they can do anything.

Hearing Zheng Cai's words, some other generals and soldiers felt sadness.

Working for the Zheng family for so many years, only to surrender because they really couldn't fight, but also suffer this kind of fate, is too much and too chilling.

They had all been shelled just now and knew the danger of being shelled, so they felt the same way, and could understand the feelings of the troops after the break.

Everyone kept silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Only under the cabin, there are people urging the boatmen to speed up the oars.

These boatmen almost vomited blood when they heard it, and they had to do their best when chasing, and when they escaped, how could there be so much energy to fight?

"Tsk tusk tusk, this is the steam battleship, it is too powerful, it is simply a unilateral killing, the other party has no power to fight back."

West said with emotion.

The sailing ship over there fought very anxiously against the sailing ship.

And the sailing ship here was fleeing in embarrassment against the steamship, and it was not even a fight. Just rushed up and was beaten, and then ran away dingy.

From beginning to end, he didn't even have the ability to resist.

This scene opened the eyes of these Dutch businessmen.

It turns out that naval battles can still be played like this.

This battle report is also very valuable to sell to Europe.

Through this naval battle, they can draw a conclusion that the sailing warship is out of date.

By deducing this naval battle, they can also get some performance data of the steamship, its role on the battlefield, as well as applicable tactics and so on.

In short, this information is very important to the European navy.

"Fortunately, Dahua's businessmen are not too keen on colonization. Otherwise, how would our European fleet fight them? At that time, I am afraid that America and India will be robbed by them."

Another businessman rejoiced.

"It's probably because their country is still fighting civil wars in the past few years. When they are unified, they will naturally target those colonies. That will be the time when the royal family has headaches. How should they deal with such a powerful Dahua? What?"

West sneered.

He has no good feelings for the royal families in Europe, because he is a low-level person in society.

In the early days, most of the people engaged in ocean trade were the bottom people who could not survive in Western Europe.

How could those who enjoy the glory and wealth go out to sea with such a big risk?

"This is not just about the royal family. If they also go overseas on a large scale, it will also have an impact on our business."

Another businessman worried.

During the battle, Bai Bainian's fleet had caught up with Zheng Cai's squadron.

"Don't pay attention to them, go directly, and leave two ships to control these descendants."

Bai Bainian said.

Afterwards, their large forces ignored these surrenders and chased Zheng Cai and others.

The speed of a steam ship is indeed faster than that of a sailing ship.

However, the speed is also limited.

Adding to the direction of Zheng Cai's retreat, it was still downwind.

In a tailwind, the sail can be fully opened, and its speed is still quite amazing.

Bai Bainian estimated the speed and distance of the two sides, and found that it would take a lot of time to catch up with Zheng Cai.

Therefore, he decided not to chase, and turned to continue to attack Zheng Zhihu's headquarters.

There are hundreds of ships in Zheng Zhihu's headquarters, but it is not so easy to retreat.

Attacking Zheng Zhihu's headquarters is also far more important than chasing Zheng Cai.

The sooner Zheng Zhihu's headquarters is defeated, the sooner this naval battle can be ended and the loss of one's side can be reduced.

When Bai Bainian approached the headquarters again, Zheng Zhihu's face was very calm.

He had just lost the temper that should have been lost.

The picture of Zheng Cai being kite-flying was always in Zheng Zhihu's telescope, and he saw the entire short-term beating process in his eyes.

At that time, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood and almost smashed the binoculars.

When Zheng Cai was defeated and fled, he had expected that he would soon face the shelling of the Chinese army again.

"My lord, retreat. Save your strength first, and then go back and discuss the long-term plan."

In a short period of time, people like them couldn't think of any way to deal with the steam battleship of the Chinese army.

Therefore, many ministries hope to retreat temporarily. If you continue to fight, you will definitely not win.

"After the defeat in this battle, the sea will be the world of the Dahua Navy from now on."

Zheng Zhihu sighed.

This battle is very important to their Zheng family. As long as they can defeat the Chinese army, they can ask for higher surrender treatment.

And now instead of winning, they have lost a big defeat, which may make Dahua even more despise the strength of their Zheng family.

If you want to surrender in the future, the treatment may not be as good as that given by Wood Zhao.

"Master Zheng, do not withdraw at this time, and the sea will still be the world of Dahua in the future. We can only save our strength first, and then find ways to get the secret of this steam battleship."

The subordinate urged.

As a coach, Zheng Zhihu is not decisive at all, making everyone else anxious.

At this time, where is there still time to sigh.

"After ordering Chen Da to lead his fleet to break, send a small boat over to convey the order, saying that we will treat his family and children well. If he surrenders, don't blame the brothers for not talking about the love for many years."

Zheng Zhihu ordered.

If you want to retreat, someone has to break it.

Otherwise, it is not called a retreat, it is called a rout.

After making the decision, Zheng Zhihu's main ship issued various semaphores and issued various orders.

Some of the more complex and specific commands cannot be transmitted through semaphores. They can only use small boats and send messengers to them.

If there is an accident, the order cannot be conveyed, which is actually normal on the battlefield during this period.

The captains on other ships are always paying attention to the situation of the main ship.

Seeing the order to retreat, some people were not reconciled, some were relieved, and some sighed.
