Of the ten small gunboats of the Qi Provincial Naval Division, 3 were sunk, 3 were captured, 1 escaped, and only 3 were still putting up their last resistance.

But on the main battlefield, the ten medium-sized ships of Qi Province pressed Li Jun's twenty large-sized ships and beat them up, and five of Li Feibao's ships had been sunk; 3 ships were set on fire and were not saved; 5 ships were completely controlled by Qi provincial soldiers; Another 5 ships had a nervous breakdown, removed their gangplanks and turned their bows to escape.

Only two large ships remained.

This includes Li Feibao's flagship, and the sailors on this ship are close to being killed, and he himself is leading the last dozen guards to make a final hold on to the stern of the flagship.

Li Feibao could still count on the petals on the other side to rush to support after killing the small ships in Qi Province, and he also had a team of ships behind him to resist the Qi Provincial Fleet that was chasing and killing the transport fleet.

He had already seen that Xu Shiyang's small boat did not have too many artillery, so he thought that the two teams of big ships still had the ability to rush over to reinforce him, and when the time came, it would still be twenty dozen ten, and there would still be a chance.

However, when he really raised his head and looked at the battlefield with expectant eyes, Li Feibao's heart was directly half cold.

On his flank, the 3 small boats of Qi Province are still desperately resisting, and the big ships over there were killed and injured a lot by muskets and divine cannons in the process of subduing the small boats, and the fleet over there actually began to retreat with the booty after discovering that the situation on the Chinese side was not good!

On the other hand, the small boat of the Qi army was taking advantage of the turning advantage and taking Li Jun's rear team around in a circle, so there was no intention of rushing over to support there.

The pirates' weakness of not having a tough military discipline is exposed, and they may be strong when fighting a tailwind battle to grab the spoils of war, but when the wind is against the wind, the captains' first instinct is still to keep their ship and their own food.

No one wants to come up and support Li Feibao desperately, although they do still have a chance to win.

With a clang, the sword in Li Feibao's hand fell on the stern deck.

He also lost the confidence to win.

"I ...... vote"

Before the word drop was exported, an 8-pound cannon on the stern of the "Dengyingzhou" ship that was close to him on the opposite side lost patience and came at close range at Li Feibao, who was still resisting just now.

It was a double shotgun, and hundreds of money bags rained down on the aft deck, one of which happened to hit Li Feibao's head, opening a 15-millimeter hole in his head, and his brain burst .......

Subsequently, one of the selected soldiers cut off the pirate flag flying high on Li Feibao's flagship with an axe, and the others raised a red flag with all hands and feet, announcing to everyone that Li Feibao's flagship had changed hands.

Seeing this, the other pirate ships hoisted their sails and turned around and left the battlefield.

The naval battle was over.

But the pursuit did not stop.

Xu Shiyang left 5 gunboats to guard the prisoners, and personally led the other 5 gunboats to chase after the transport fleet.

Li Feibao's rear team had also fled, and thirty small boats of the Qi army joined the pursuit, less than 10 miles away from Port Arthur, catching up with the slow-moving Li army's transport ship.

Seeing the red flag of the Qi army, everyone knew that Li Feibao had become the loser of the naval battle, and half of the Li army's transport ships directly lowered their sails and surrendered, but the other half of the people tried their last strength to quickly complete the last mile, and entered Port Arthur before the exhausted Qi provincial fleet caught up with them.

At this point, the Battle of Iron Mountain finally ended.

Xu Shiyang lost 8 small sea ships (4 sunk and 4 captured), a total of 179 people killed on each ship, about 50 captured by pirates, and about 200 wounded.

He sank and burned 15 large Fu ships, captured 35 ships, killed more than 800 pirates under Li Feibao, and captured nearly 2,000 people!

The only problem was that a total of 28 large ships of fortune escaped into Port Arthur, bringing with them a large amount of much-needed money and supplies.

Of course, Xu Shiyang also seized a lot of goods.

After bringing all the loot back to Dengzhou, a large number of statisticians flocked to the pirate ship and began to sort out the most important loot.

The final statistics are:

Xu Shiyang grabbed more than 1,500 taels of gold, more than 9,000 taels of silver, a total of about 30,000 copper coins, and more than 8,000 pieces of silk and silk.

In addition, there are 4.5 million catties of grain (about 30,000 stones, Qi Province has begun to abandon the weights and measures of stone, bucket and he), more than 5,000 horses of various colors, and 10,000 catties of iron.

All of them are the strategic materials that the Tartars urgently need, and of course, they are also the most urgent needs of Xu Shiyang.

It was really disappointing that we didn't get all the supplies, but with so many supplies to start with, the results were acceptable.

What's more, as many as 35 large Fu ships were captured, which was of great benefit to the future attack on Liaodong by sea.

At least don't worry too much about capacity.

What's more, the Li family's fleet that forcibly entered Lushun didn't want to come out again, unless they sank directly, they would fall into the hands of Xu Shiyang sooner or later.

……

Gangnam.

The Shunyi army camp.

Xu Shiliu met with Wen Ji, who served as a messenger for the Lin'an main battle faction.

This person has a good relationship with Xu Shiyang, and is about to marry Xu Shiliu's sister Xu Shimei, the two are already relatives, and they are very good to talk after meeting.

In addition, although Wen Ji is a member of the Wen family, he has never entered the officialdom, nor has he ever tested his fame, in Lin'an City, he is a ridiculous Yanei, and his reputation is not much better than that of Gao Yanei of the Gao Yu family, so in Lin'an, the tense atmosphere between the main battle lord and the two factions, his actions are relatively difficult to attract the attention of the main and faction, so it is appropriate to act as a messenger.

"Brother Wen, Xianggong has already made up his mind?"

As soon as he saw Wen Ji, Xu Shiliu immediately smiled in reply.

"Yes, everybody's made up their minds."

Wen Ji said with unprecedented seriousness:

"The canal was indeed cut off, but Qin Xianggong used those pirates of the Li family to transport supplies and New Year's coins to Liaodong! I wonder whose courtier he is! Therefore, we can't let the imperial court continue to fund the enemy like this! ”

"The emperor must be asked to give way to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter what means are used!"

"So, father and all the loyal people of the court, let me rule Brother Shiliu, and I will be in peace immediately, Qingjun's side!"

Xu Shiliu smiled and nodded.

Of course, Qin Huizhi would forcibly transport supplies to Liaodong, and he himself would definitely understand that this was the enemy.

But he had to do it, because the pressure of the Tartars is the foundation for the Lord and the faction to sit in their current position, and if everyone understands that the Tartars are not so terrible, then who will support the Lord and the faction that is angry and resentful?

What's more, this also means that in the past ten years before Emperor Jianxing and Qin Huizhi, nothing good has been done to benefit the country and the people, and it is already conceivable what evaluation will be obtained in the history books in the future.

You can't get anything in front of you and behind you, what kind of thing is this?

Therefore, whether it is Qin Huizhi or Emperor Jianxing, they have no way out.

"When will the action begin?" Xu Shiliu asked with a smile.

"My father and the adults thought that the fifth day of October was the right time."

"In advance, such a major event must be fast." Xu Shiliu replied directly: "Brother Wen Ji will go back now, after seeing the teacher, please report to him, the students will reorganize the troops today, set off tomorrow, and arrive in Lin'an at night." ”
