Chapter 332: Shandong men

In today's decisive battle, under the fierce attack of the right-wing battleship array, the two navy troops were already on the verge of being completely exhausted, and the lucky ships and the centipede ships were all lost. Only two three-masted treasure ship flagships remained. They hurriedly retreated to the southwest under the surrounded by more than thirty small boats, even if there was an enemy left-wing ship array there.

"Military Gate, all the ships responded in flags. The shells were exhausted, and everyone's shells were exhausted!" Zhong Mintong rushed into the cabin building with smoke and dust on his face, looking at Yang Chengbi's report, "Unless the enemy's left wing let us go, we are afraid we can't escape."

Before he finished speaking, the enemy's left wing, who had not responded for a long time, suddenly fired fire, which scared Yang Chengbi and Zhong Mintong who were determined to evacuate. Yang Chengbi suddenly laughed and patted his subordinates who had followed him for eighteen years, "It's just one dead. We are all people in the blue sea. The sea is buried here, which is more suitable for us than the loess! It's not without meaning to wipe out the entire army. I might as well slap those officials who requested a ban on the sea. Okay, Mintong, pass the order down, and the right rudder is full, we will hit!"

Not to mention that the British and Dutch fleet was frightened by the verge of their own shells, they stopped. Several people on the Gulandek flagship were laughing. Suddenly, they saw the Qing soldiers turning their rudders and rushing towards them. They were all shocked. Mupuyad cursed loudly, "Today, this is really an eye-opener. Damn, why don't the Qing soldiers know the good people's hearts?!"

Krale looked at the Portuguese general and laughed, "Did you send them a flag slogan? Why can't they rush towards you? For them, Britain and the Netherlands are enemies, and we are enemies too! Could it be that it is just because you, Portugal doesn't kill them, and you will become good people just by rape? Haha, wake up, my General Mupuyad, we will enter Annan in the year. If you two countries are interested, you might as well share it with us!"

But Gulandek didn't dare to talk to them about division. Two giant three-masted treasure ships rushed over. If they didn't fight back and stop them, don't say it's the year. I'm afraid that many people will not be able to survive the New Year of 1698 more than a month later! "Send the order, the whole fleet should pay attention to dodging and destroy their sails with hollow bullets!"

With the commander's order, fifty left-wing warships immediately lowered their firing angles, and black shells smashed towards the Qing fleet like iron rain in the world. A series of water columns more than ten meters high were constantly blowing up on the sea. Among the water columns, Yang Chengbi looked at the deck filled with the flames of the flagship, sighed with regret for the injustice of fate. The sails were burned, and the treasure ship lost its momentum in an instant and had to sway helplessly on the water. Everyone threw the fire and replenished the ship. Yang Chengbi smiled bitterly and pulled out his sword. Unexpectedly, Zhong Mintong, who had been paying attention to him, rushed forward and avoided the sword and cried, "Military Sect, this battle is not a crime of war, but it is really not as strong as others. I hope the military Sect will take good care of it and wait for the future. It will be a day to avenge the shame and show its might!"

Just as he was trying hard to persuade him, he suddenly heard the soldiers looking at him shouting, "Military Sect, Lord Zhong, look, the flagship of Miao Junmen is still rushing forward! Oh my God, the sails are burning, and they are still rushing?!"

When the sound of the hollow cannon sounded, Miao Junqing knew what the enemy was afraid of. He sneered, "Damn foreigners, don't you know that my treasure ship is the only centipede treasure ship in the Qing Dynasty?" Miao Junqing pulled out his waist knife and roared with blue veins, "Down the oar cabin for me, let it burn on the deck, row hard for me to let the foreigners see that my treasure ship is carried with oars, just like a man brings a handful! It's our Shandong man, man, shake it hard and crash into those foreigners!"

Therefore, when most of the Qing Dynasty navy was knocked off their masts, a giant was always igniting a raging fire in the smoke of artillery fire, but it was strangely rushing towards the enemy formation!

Gulandek was shocked and quickly issued a general order to replace the solid bullet to strike the waterline ship board. Unfortunately, the flagship of the treasure ship was equipped with a guard board. How could it be so sank in a short time! Seeing that Miao Junqing's treasure ship had knocked over four or five auxiliary ships, Gulandek hurriedly ordered, "Send the order to dodge the entire fleet in the continuous attack!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The huge suction of water waves had already dragged the Portuguese battleship Gergen. No matter how the battleships fired their guns, or even the wood chips flew into their faces, the battleships still couldn't get rid of the earth and collided with the treasure ship. The sea breeze overcame the fire, and the two ships were full of fire. The sea water rushed into the hulls of the two ships like a tide from the cracks caused by the impact.

The sailors who were dizzy in the shock of the huge impact jumped into the boat at the first moment of their consciousness recovery! This was the case for the Portuguese soldiers and the Qing soldiers, but they didn't have that opportunity, because they were in the cabin, with fire above their heads and floods at their feet. Miao Junqing spread his arms and let out a long roar, "Come on, brothers, let's hold them together and see the Dragon King and Dragon Girl!"

When the eighteen-row armed merchant ship retreated to Mawei Port, they met Ling Xiao who was preparing to go to Changle Shipyard.

The weak sea power was so exciting that he could not sleep at all. He just sent a memorial to Kangxi for the suspension of Taicang, Changle warship manufacturing, and the current transformation process. He threw the yamen at the three gentlemen. Now he was taking all members of the Baigong Hall to Changle, preparing to inspect the entire process of shipbuilding on-site.

Hearing that the ferry fleet encountered the main fleet of the Yangyi, Ling Xiao's heart suddenly hangs up. After two and a half hours of going out to sea, the retreating ships came back. It is conceivable how close the enemy is to Mawei. Without time to think about it, Ling Xiao had to defend the key waterway of the Minjiang River estuary. He quickly issued a military order, "Hu Jun, immediately send me the order, the remaining navy in Fuzhou City will be transferred to Mawei immediately, and the coastal areas will immediately issue a fishing ban. All the forts along the Minjiang River will be alerted immediately. Tingjiang, Changmen, Jinmai, Dingguang Mountain, and Huangjizhai are ready to fight!"

The situation outside Fuzhou suddenly became urgent, with nearly 60 red-clothed cannons on the squad, but until dusk, Ling Xiao, who had not yet had a cold sweat, still did not see the shadow of the Yangyi fleet. The centipede ship sent to patrol and reconnaissance for 30 miles did not observe the enemy's traces, which made Ling Xiao even more worried about the King's Army and the two navy divisions. He was sure that today's encounter should be a coincidence. The Yangyi fleet was unlikely to judge its strategic intentions. It could only come to show off its power, create strong pressure on itself, force the Fujian authorities to release the detained personnel, and then sign the city alliance! Then, the enemy who came here took advantage of the opportunity to run into his landing warship fleet, and they would probably chase him hard. If the two major navy troops could not die, the King's Army, who had devoted all their efforts, were wiped out!

"General! General~~" The reconnaissance fleet returned from afar has returned and sent to the small boat of Ling Xiaozhao ship. A soldier kept calling out, "Report to the general that the fleet of the five countries appeared on the sea thirty miles away, with a total of about one hundred ships. But they stopped and sent a small boat to meet the general and discuss with you the exchange of prisoners of war!"

Prisoner of war? Ling Xiao was heartbroken. If Jingjing's eyes weren't about to support him, Ling Xiao, who had suffered a huge blow, could hardly stand. The two navy divisions and the royal army were finished?!

The person who came was Sosilu, who claimed to be unlucky, finally had the chance to meet the Qing Dynasty prince-consort Ling Xiao. He knew that he was very good at changing his mind when he saw Ling Xiao, and immediately gave up the etiquette of bowing and stroking his chest, and politely kneeled down to see him. "Dear General, I am Sosilu, the commander of the Five-National United Fleet, Susilu, I hope to reach an agreement with you on the exchange of prisoners of war. I also hope that you can consider the lives of the two thousand surviving naval soldiers in your country and exchange them with the soldiers on the Elizabeth."

The navy soldiers? Two thousand men? Ling Xiao was stunned and asked in confusion, "Mr. So Silu, I want to know the details of the war. Please inform me."

"Our army encountered the fleet of your army at noon. In addition to the five or six hundred small boats that fled north and south at the beginning of the war, the main fleet of your navy took the lead in firing artillery at us. After two hours of fighting, we have completely defeated your fleet." Speaking of this, Sosilu suddenly looked awe-in and looked full of respect. "Our army captured the personnel from the last thirty warships of your country, including General Yang Chengbi and General Zhong Min and they were destroyed. They were destroyed and wandering on the sea. Out of humanitarianism and respect for your army's fighting to the death, the fleet of the five countries also salvaged your soldiers who fell into the water and called for help from the sea to exchange for you!"

It turned out that the enemy had only arrived until now, not to pursue the King's Army, but to salvage the fallen soldiers and want to make a deal.

The warriors of the Dengzhou Navy and Songjiang Navy did not retreat in front of the enemy's powerful artillery fire, and did not escape without ignoring the life and death of the King's Army. Instead, they defended the national soul and military spirit with their blood and life! Ling Xiao's tears suddenly flowed out, and he was not ashamed of crying in front of foreign representatives. He was very worried about Miao Junqing who was suspended from office and asked immediately, "Where is General Miao Junqing? The war damage between the two sides should not be kept secret."

So Silu's lips twitched violently, but he would never say that one-third of the loss of war loss on his side. He was silent for a while and said, "He used his flagship to hit our Jergen battleship, and the two ships sank quickly. There was no general from your side among the survivors!"

"Heroes!...heroes!" Ling Xiao stood up suddenly, widened his eyes, and was so proud that he could not control himself for a long time. He led the ship to fight the foreigners with blood. Before he died for his country, he would hit the enemy warships. This is a hero like Deng Shichang, and it is not uncommon! The dead are heroes, and the living are even more heroes. What he has to do is to save these brave heroes who have lost their sails at all costs!

After a long time, Ling Xiao took back his admiration and thoughts, "When will you like to exchange? In what way to exchange?"

After understanding this English word, So Silu secretly cursed the big madman and took the little madman out, but he did not dare to show it on his face. "After interrogation, you learned that your army had killed two hundred of our detainees. We strongly demanded that your army immediately stop this barbaric behavior and at the same time propose a method of equal exchange of heads, that is, the remaining 1,600 people you need to be redeemed by money!"
