Huang Han personally got on the "Wolf's Den", a new warship with a displacement of 1,500 tons, not a flagship.

The flagship is Yang Dacheng, the captain of the "Tiger's Den" used by Huang Yong, the main general of the water camp, and there is also a big war ship called the "Eagle's Nest", and the captain is Huang Chunsheng.

The captain of the "Wolf's Den" was Shen Xianyi, who was not in charge of the Marine Corps at this time, and the chief first mate An Xiaole took over the command of the part-time Marine Corps, and Yu Fei served as the second officer on this ship.

The latest information from Shen Xianyi predicted that the direction of the rebel fleet would be the Dongjiang Zhen Islands, and it was roughly estimated that our army's naval division could arrange an ambush circle more than 150 miles northeast of Lushunkou, which could completely intercept the rebel fleet.

At the same time as deploying to intercept the rebel fleet, the propaganda team also came to Lushunkou under the personal leadership of Liu Zaiqi, and dozens of people led by He Shouxin got on the sentry ship and began to propagandize at sea.

Liu Zaiqi, who was highly motivated, knew that the sentinel ships had to track and monitor the rebel fleet as their primary task, so he could only carry out propaganda along the way, so he simply found a few wheels and made a special trip to the fishing ground to shout.

Propagandists and sailors on dozens of small boats will alert them whenever they find fishing boats or work boats processing seafood, and they must quickly avoid warships that are not branded with unmarked red flags.

This propaganda is to make the fishermen more vigilant, fishing boats and working boats at sea are not tricked into setting sail and stopping the boats, and the rebel warships are seriously overloaded, and of course they do not have the speed to chase and kill fishing boats and working boats.

The fishermen at sea and the guys in the canning workshop all know the "Red Banner Army" Peugeot, and they also know the large war ships unique to the water camp, and the uniform clothing of the sailors of the "Red Flag Army" is strictly disciplined, and the water camp cannot be pretended to be at all.

After heeding the advice of the watchboats, the fishermen said that they not only knew how to flee when they saw the rebel boats, but also reported the direction of the rebels' escape to the "Red Banner Army".

When Liu Zaiqi was propagating, he encouraged fishermen to take advantage of the small and flexible fishing boats to spy on suspicious warships, and the "Red Flag Army" would be rewarded with valuable information.

The "Red Banner Army" has never deceived the small people of Shengdou, and too many fishermen have basically controlled the Liaohai Sea because the "Red Flag Army" has made large purchases, and their days are rising every day.

They all smiled and said that they did not need to give a reward, they were willing to serve General Pingliao, as long as they found a rebel ship, they would definitely send a few fishing boats to keep an eye on them, and then immediately look for the "Red Banner Army" to report the enemy's situation.

With watchposts on the sea and thousands of fishing boats on alert, it will be difficult for the rebels to escape the eyes of thousands of people.

On February 15, the sixth year of Chongzhen, the warships of the "Red Banner Army" waited to prepare for a hunt on the route that the rebels were about to pass, and they were not worried about waiting for the enemy ships.

Because all the small warships and sentinel ships were dispatched, the team of nearly a hundred sea-going ships was too large to escape the sight of the sailors observing with the clairvoyant scope.

It is true that people make things happen!

After everything was arranged, only the weather was not beautiful, and the sea was foggy from time to time, and the warship suddenly got into the fog, and the visibility was less than 50 paces, so in order to prevent a collision, it had to lower half of the sail and move forward slowly.

The rebel fleet was naturally also affected by the weather, none of them were full sails, the speed of the ship was even slower, and Shen Xianyi, who was following behind, followed more easily, at this time he had already received the military information transmitted by the sentinel ship, and knew that the main fleet waiting for the robbery had been assembled at the predetermined location.

Shen Xianyi did not send a sentinel ship to inform the main force to adjust the deployment, because the main force chose the right position for the ambush.

There were very few rebels who possessed clairvoyants, but Kong Youde had one, which was captured by the Portuguese mercenary leader Gonzaju de Sieira, whom Xu Guangqi called "the Xilao of Gongsha, the commander of the Western Ocean".

When Dengzhou was attacked by the rebels, the Ming army was scattered, and the Portuguese gunners fought faithfully until the leader of Gongsha, Silao, was killed and half of them were killed and wounded.

Kong Youde has been observing the sea with a clairvoyant mirror, and the frequent appearance of the "Red Flag Army's" sentry ships is of course in his eyes.

The sentinel ship had a configuration of eleven people, and there was a one-pound furlong cannon in the bow and stern, which was too small, and Kong Youde didn't care about it at all, because he was familiar with the Liaohai Sea and knew the combat effectiveness of the Ming army's naval divisions.

He was not afraid of being targeted by the sentinel ship, because when the sentinel ship sent the letter back, the possibility of the Ming army's sailors dispatching to intercept him did not exist.

First of all, the performance and speed of everyone's warships are about the same, and it is impossible to be caught up by a distance of hundreds of miles.

Kong Youde was full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of this fleet, believing that it was impossible for Chen Guangfu, Li Yingyuan, and other five-masted gunboats to have an opponent in the Liaohai Sea.

The general had this attitude, and the rebels were even more ignorant of the future and did not play a false shot at all, and they chose to take the nearest route and go straight to the mouth of the Yalu River.

With little to no food, most of the rebels were able to get only a few small pieces of jerky that barely starved to death, and it was clear what they were.

Therefore, time is precious to the rebels, and if they drift at sea for three to five days, I am afraid that a small half of them will fall.

Even though they were hungry, the successful escape from the besieged Dengzhou City still gave the rebels hope, and they were all ready to enter Zhenjiang Fort once they landed.

A barrage of "boom, boom, boom......" shattered the illusions of the rebels.

Huang Han, who discovered the rebel fleet, didn't even bother to give Kong Youde a chance to speak, and directly ordered all the warships to approach at full speed and attack immediately.

In order to fight the rebels more efficiently, Huang Han conveyed the whole army, don't be merciful, those rebels are all cannibalistic devils with blood debts, use scattered bullets to maximize their killing, and do not hesitate to kill all those rebels.

Suddenly encountering an attack, the five main warships preset by the rebels hurriedly stepped forward to meet the battle, but the open-deck three-masted gunboats were already lagging behind the new warships of the "Red Banner Army" in this era.

The three-masted gunboat fired about a few symbolic shots before it was dug under the rain of bullets, but unfortunately, when the "Red Banner Army" beat the rebels in mourning, there was a fog drifting from the sea.

The rebels are not stupid, they have seen the shelling of the encirclement and suppression warships like a storm, and they know what the disparity in power is.

Seeing that if there was another naval battle, the fate that awaited them was that people would be killed or the ship would be sunk, and the rebels did not care whether they would hit the ship or not, and all of them accelerated and fled with their sails full, and they fled in all directions.

Kong Youde had a purpose in his heart, and still commanded the No. 2 ship to sail north, and he fantasized that he could rush to the mouth of the Yalu River and go up the river to get rid of the huge warships that were being chased and intercepted.
