From far to near, the ship gradually zoomed in on their line of sight. Soon, they realized that their eyes were too small, small enough to contain the whole boat, and that the thought grew deeper and deeper, to the point that the heavier it was, the more it weighed them down.

The fortune ship led by him was getting closer and closer, about a hundred paces away, and the Qing army's infantry and riding bows were shooting head-on. The arrows pierced the night sky, and you could hear the crackling and tinkling sound of water, but you couldn't hear the screams of the blades as they broke through.

The momentum was unstoppable, the fortune ship rushed to the face, but the arrows of the Qing army had no effect at all, and after a blink of an eye, the fortune ship had come closer, and the sailors on the ship had no intention of jumping at all, because at this moment they no longer needed such a risk, just drive the ship over.

The bow of the ship that the ship relied on to split the waves slammed into the port side of a ship that was already considered medium in the Qing fleet, and the whole ship was shocked, but this time most of the Qing troops on board were knocked into the water.

The icy sea water immediately boiled between desperate cries for help and struggle. More Qing troops only began to sink the moment they fell into the water, their lives were incomplete, because they could not see the next, after the impact, the fortune boat still did not stop the momentum of continuing to move forward, in the twisting and deformation of the wooden plank squeak pierced the struggle for help, the sea ship they had just taken was constantly squeezed to the right and sink, until it completely fell into the waves, and even pressed it directly into the sea, as if riding over.

The port hull twisted, deformed, and fractured under buoyancy and weight until the entire port hull, deck, and even starboard hull were completely torn apart, and a boat was easily cut into two sections, front and rear, and then fell apart. The blessed ship, on the other hand, was only tilted at a nonsensical angle in the bow, and then returned to its former stability without hindrance in the fractures and waves.

Like a mischievous child smashing an eye-catching toy, the behemoth easily crushed the ship that was still trying to carry the Qing soldiers to pieces. Those Qing soldiers who did not witness this scene with their own eyes are not unlucky, but perhaps this is also a great blessing in their lives, because they do not need to face death in the fear of being crushed, as long as they do some senseless struggle, they can completely sink into the sea, and then lose consciousness and become food for fish and shrimp here.

The fleet's sea ships and warships collided unreasonably, and their ships were not without artillery, but they didn't fire a single shot, but they just aimed at the small boats of the Qing army, and they crashed into them in a daze, and that's it.

On land, it may be called a man turning on his back, but at sea, when a person falls into the water, those who can't swim can only sink in the struggle, and most of these wooden boats will not just turn over, the buoyancy of the sea water and the gravity and impact of the big ship are intertwined, where can the wood withstand such a joint force.

The small boats of the Qing army were knocked down, broken, sunk and even smashed one after another, intermittently, the sea ship threw one or two fire sticks, fire bricks or something, set the sails on fire, or smashed the oil lamps by impact, the fire spread, and the sea surface was illuminated.

Under the firelight, most of the Qing troops who fell into the water sank into the sea in a desperate struggle, but fortunately, the ships were broken, and a large amount of wood floated on the sea, and occasionally the Qing army grabbed large and small woods, and some could float on the sea, and some just dragged the wood into the sea, and that's it.

However, those lucky people, while rejoicing, had to face an even more desperate situation - their cries for help were ignored, and the fleet divided into some "small boats" to chase the Qing ships that were still scattering and fleeing like wolves. And the largest ships of the Qing army have been sandwiched in the middle by a bunch of behemoths, and then when the jumping plot that they still have confidence in it is staged, it is already dozens or hundreds of sailors besieging a dozen or even several Qing troops, and almost every moment there will be Qing troops being cut into a lump of flesh.

If it weren't for the fact that these ships could be seen at a glance carrying war horses, they wouldn't have been so laborious. Directly hit it, with the size of these big ships, it is not easy to knock them apart.

The battle, or, to put it more figuratively, the massacre was over before it took too long, and the Qing army's mighty fleet of hundreds of ships was completely crushed to pieces, and only a few horses carrying war horses were deliberately retained.

People in troubled times are like ants, not to mention compared to war horses. The sailors of the fleet were still controlling the captured ships, and during this period, the Qing troops continued to sink completely into the sea, or float on the surface of the sea and be swept away by the waves, as if they sank into the sea, once they disappeared from sight, they could never be found again.

It is undeniable that there may be lucky people who drift to shore, or drift to deserted islands like Robinson, but more often they sink into the sea in the drift, or are swept into the rough seas of the open sea, which becomes a shark's meal.

The fire on the sea was gradually extinguished, and after a long time, when only the fire of the fleet remained on the sea, the first rays of sunlight on March 13 of the fifth year of Yongli sprinkled on the sea, and the fleet under the banner of Zheng Cai, the founder of the country, also began to salvage and capture the prisoners. The boat was lowered, rowed not far away, and struck it with a wooden oar to see if it was still alive, and dragged the alive onto the boat, tied the hands of these exhausted fellows who had been drifting for half the night, and threw them on the boat at will, while the dead ones had their heads cut off and threw them with the captives, no different.

Occasionally, some silk and cloth will be fished up, which is already a very good harvest, don't think about gold and silver or anything, or if the density is higher than water, you basically don't have to bother and bother. But if you can catch some officers or something, it is equivalent to catching gold and silver, and you will be tied up strongly, and you will send them to the ship, and you will have your own reward.

Just like cleaning up the battlefield after every field battle, it will not end easily without exhausting the last trace of strength. This is the welfare time of the soldiers, and there are very few officers who do not have long eyes. For this reason, there have also been some classic examples, such as Li Zicheng's once, but now on this sea, they are invincible, and they don't need to worry about nonsense such as the counterattack of the Qing army.

The captives and captures were constantly sent to the largest fortune ship, and ordinary soldiers were just down, just tied up and thrown into the cabin to be finished, and no one cared about life or death. But the officers are different, they are all more useful trophies, and it is a greater gain to get more information, or to integrate experienced officers into the army. As for those high-ranking officers, even more so.

Huang Shu is very glad that he is from Huizhou, although he is not on the edge of the big river, but he was born in the south, no matter how bad the water is, if he is lucky, he will have a chance to catch some floating objects. There's no denying his luck, at least now that he's exhausted, like a puddle of mud, and his eyelids are no longer open, he still has a breath. After being thrown on the deck of the cabin for a long time, I finally recovered a little. Barely opening his eyes, Feng Junrui, who had no armor, knelt there trembling with his head bowed, and an old soldier dressed as a Qing soldier also knelt there, enjoying the same treatment as them.

Ignoring these unseemly things, Huang Shu's brain thinking ability was rapidly recovering, he looked at the side, turned his head as much as he could, and saw the first two middle-aged officers in python robes and jade belts and a young civil official in crimson robes sitting there, looking at each other from time to time, communicating in a way they couldn't understand.

Seeing this, Huang Shu didn't know where to give birth to some strength, and hurriedly knelt on the deck, facing the five-short figure official in the middle, and kowtowed his head, all of which were begging for mercy like "the founding of the country".

However, this poor energy is misplaced. The five-short big official sneered, and then snorted coldly: "Huang Daotai has recognized the wrong person, he is just a marquis, and he can't afford to be the courtesy of the prince." It's a civil official next to you who is half a level lower than you, and if you beg him, maybe you can still have a way to live. Isn't it? ”
