In the distance, the fleet of the Ming army came rapidly, and the flagship led by the leader fluttered the banner of "General Linghai Chen", hunting on the mast.

This battleship was the largest of the entire Ming fleet, with a cannon in the bow, and it was also a rare large-caliber gun in the hands of this fleet. At this moment, the artillery fuse was lit, the smoke of gunpowder erupted, and the shells burst out with a loud bang, and with the trajectory of a parabola, a water that was even higher than the ship was stirred up on the sea surface in the direction of the rear of the fleet.

Chen Qice's fleet was injured while defending Sanshui the year before and was forced to float to the sea and camp on Chuan Island, but soon found its place in the Battle of the Pearl River. The formation of the Southern Domain's Central Army Sheng Dengke, with Chen Kai almost completely annihilated the Qing army's naval division, of which Sheng Dengke's newly built ships alone were captured by him more than 100 ships, which were all serious warships.

Even if, whether it is captured or the original old warships, these ships are far from being comparable with the large ships such as the sailors of the Fujian Ming Army in terms of size and shape, but compared to Du Yonghe's merchant ships and fishing boats, and compared to Wu Wenwen's remnants of the Red Flag Pirates who were burned by the Red Flag Pirates, they are still far superior.

From the beginning of the design and construction, the battleship emphasizes speed and attack ability, but the merchant ship and fishing ship need to take into account more cargo capacity and stability. However, most of the ships of Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen were merchant ships and fishing boats with slightly modified foundations, and if they really fought, the performance of the ships would first suffer a great loss.

The cannonballs started the battle, and Du Yonghe, knowing that he was invincible, hurriedly ordered to continue to flee eastward. At this moment, it is already afternoon, as long as the sails are accelerated, it will be difficult for the Ming army to continue to chase after nightfall, and it is estimated that some of the slowest ships will be lost, which is nothing more than abandoning the car to protect the commander.

At this moment, on the surface of the South China Sea, the two fleets, one in front and one behind, are catching up, and while the distance is gradually narrowing, they have to keep firing guns, as if they can't resist the urge to tear the former to pieces; The former, on the other hand, simply went all the way east in silence, and from time to time they left behind some things that weighed down and affected the speed of the voyage, so that they regarded the blue sea as a garbage dump.

chased and fled, but the ships of the Ming army were all warships, and they had an advantage in speed, and gradually some Qing ships that were too slow entered the range of more Ming ships.

The next scene was nothing more than shelling from afar, and jumping from close. The ships of the Qing fleet were uneven, and they didn't care about these delays, so they just cut off the meat and stop the loss, and used these sacrifices to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army. However, who knows which tendon of this Chen Qice was wrong today, and he threw all the Qing warships that were caught up by the Ming army to the battleships behind him to deal with, and he took those most combat-effective and fastest battleships to chase after him, completely biting the posture of not spitting.

Chen Qice was like this, which really frightened Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen. Although this famous sailor general born in Guangdong became famous, it was nothing more than after the Qing army went south, but all the battles were impressive, and his water combat ability was once relied on by the university scholar He Wuyu, just with figures like Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen, it is difficult to win even if it is the same fleet strength, let alone the current situation.

Run, just one word, or "no life". The Qing fleet retreated in a hurry, and only those who really couldn't escape would do the battle of the trapped beasts, but they would also be quickly solved by the Ming army, and more would turn to other directions after falling behind, or surrender directly to the Ming army, and the chances of survival would be greater.

In this way, after chasing and fleeing for more than two hours, the Qing army finally escaped into the night after leaving behind many ships. As expected, the Ming army gave up the pursuit after nightfall, but the ships left behind along the way were enough to make Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen vomit three liters of blood.

Speaking of which, if the Qing army had organized the troops of the palace in time to try to entangle the Ming fleet, it might have been able to avoid greater losses. However, the Ming army was in trouble suddenly, and the Qing army fleet was originally subordinate to the two commanders, although they were fellow villagers, but they were on their respective ships, and it was really difficult to quickly reach a tacit understanding in this era when there was no radio. And once they fall into the mode of being hunted, many things are out of their control.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was because the losses of the two in the battle of Guangzhou were too huge, and Chen Qice really made up for it, Chen Kai deviated his hand, and the scales tilted towards the Ming army.

The Ming army no longer pursued, but the Qing army did not dare to stop for a while, and continued to move forward in the night, lest the Ming army just make a false shot. In this way, I was frightened for a night, and when it was dawn, the Qing army looked at the sea, and the southeast, northwest, and northwest were all the lines of the sea and sky, and they could not distinguish the direction at all. What's more, Wu Wenwen's fleet, as well as some of the ships he was still following before nightfall, were gone, and only Du Yonghe and a dozen merchant ships under his command were left at this moment.

If he goes to Guangzhou like this, he will not be treated by Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, but he doesn't have the courage to let him go back or wander elsewhere. What's more, in order to escape the pursuit of the Ming army, many ships have lost a lot of things that are necessary for the voyage but are overwhelming, and if they want to continue walking, they must find a place to replenish it.

Going to Guangdong, at least his subordinates were always more experienced than Gai Yipeng's newly recruited sailors, which was already the only remaining point for Shang Kexi. At this time, if you want to go to Guangzhou, you must first determine the direction, and the best way is to go all the way north against the direction of the compass, and if you find the coastline, you will have the possibility of identifying the direction.

Turning north, it didn't take long for them to join up with a Qing army of three ships. The ships were all lost in the night, one of them was his men, and the other two belonged to Wu Wenwen. Thinking that the fellow still didn't know where he had drifted to, Du Yonghe sighed for a while.

After I don't know how long it was, in the northeast direction, I could vaguely see a black dot suddenly appearing on the line between the sea and the sky. It was certain that it was land, and that could become the coordinates, and the Qing fleet hurriedly sailed there, and relying on the veteran pilots who had been entrenched in Guangdong and had their own knowledge of hydrology and waterways, they quickly recognized the name of that place.

"Dashuai, it's Lao Wanshan."

"Old Wanshan?"

Du Yonghe was in charge of the land division when he was under Li Chengdong, and he knew the land situation around Guangzhou well, but it was different when he went to sea, and even if it wasn't for Chen Kai entrenched on Hong Kong Island, he might not have the outline of such an island in his mind.

Fortunately, since it had been identified, the captain knew where it was. But this is both fortunate and unfortunate, as the island is located at the westernmost point of a series of islands dotted along the southern tip of the Lingding Ocean where it meets the South China Sea. And there, as they got closer, they could even tell with little effort how many humble houses there were, and a beacon tower that wasn't very conspicuous!

"Hurry up, you can't be discovered by the pirates!"

Without any shelter on the sea, it is impossible not to be discovered, and the Ming army on the island has already lit a beacon fire, a series of three strands, which will only be used when the Qing fleet is discovered. The only way for them to survive is to turn northwest and enter the Lingding Ocean through the Shizimen Waterway, or go directly to the northwest and escape into the course of the Pearl River Delta between Xiangshan County, Xinning County and Xinhui County. But in any case, it is unwise to stay, even for a moment.

Hurriedly turning around, Du Yonghe didn't have even the slightest confidence in entering the Ding Yang race with the Ming army's sailors, so he simply drove towards the delta. Unexpectedly, there was a patrol fleet composed of about 30 Ming warships east of Lao Wanshan, which sailed after receiving the warning of the beacon fire at this moment, and quickly caught up with them.

The naval battle of chasing and fleeing broke out again, the last hope was the time, and this time the hope was the location, Du Yonghe even had the idea of using people to escape next time.

However, such a reverie is just wishful thinking, this fleet of the Fujian Ming Army originally came from the strong combat effectiveness of the Navy Left Army, in terms of hydrology, geography and routes, Lin Cha's troops are more familiar than them. Soon, this chase-and-flight naval battle turned into a scuffle.

More than 30 Ming warships faced more than a dozen armed merchant ships and fishing boats of the Qing army, and the Ming army quickly formed an overwhelming advantage by virtue of its number and its own strong ships and artillery.

Cannonballs whistled out from the gun doors below the port side, causing a faint ripple on the already not very calm sea. The shells came in an instant, almost in the blink of an eye, and the outboard of the Qing army's ship was shattered and collapsed in the strafing of the shells, and the wooden blocks and spikes were even more huge while splashing in all directions.

The Qing army was still desperately digging for water and repairing the gaps, but if the ship was broken, its speed would inevitably be affected. The distance between the two sides was further narrowed, and when the Ming warships caught up, they condescendingly released a round of arrows and firearms, which destroyed the Qing army's strict formation, and the heroic Ming sailors roared and jumped down.

In the crushing battle scene, Du Yonghe wanted to escape by boat several times, but he had already been targeted by the Ming army. Two warships, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched his seat in the middle, like a meatloaf, and kept him from moving. In an instant, the sailors of the Ming army on both ships jumped over the ship at the same time, and the cold steel knives slashed directly at the face of the Qing army.

"Chen Kai, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

After a long time, the battle was over, and the Ming fleet returned with victory, and soon dragged the captured Qing ships into the waterway of Tsing Yi Island.

"Report to the Hou Ye and report to the General System Chen, and the staff was ordered to inspect the Shizimen Waterway and encountered the captive fleet. After a long pursuit, he finally annihilated the fleet of the captive division, beheaded Du Yong, the governor of the conquest, and one hundred and fifteen captive divisions below, captured 261 prisoners, did not count the drowning ones, burned four large and small ships, captured thirteen large and small ships, and 38 artillery pieces......"

This is an unequal battle, just listening to these reports Chen Kai has already heard clearly, and the even more unequal is still to come: "According to the torture of the prisoners, the captives Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen were ordered to transfer the defense of Guangzhou, and when they passed through the waters south of Shangxiachuan Island, they were attacked by General Ling Hai's troops, and most of them were lost, and most of the remaining people were dispersed after nightfall, and Wu Wenwen was nowhere to be found......

Du Yonghe, the governor of Liangguang who was once Xuan He for a while, hung the title of the secretary of the military department and flaunted his might in the city of Guangzhou, died like this, and the deputy general who led the team held a hastily made box, and after opening it, Du Yonghe's face full of horror and unwillingness was revealed, and it was clearly presented in front of Chen Kai and Lin Cha.
