Chapter 965: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada

The loss of the islands of Papua New Guinea made the Hong family father and son very anxious, less than 50 warships escaped, nearly 30,000 people, and 530,000 people.

Hong Hongxiu left Hong Wenyi, his hair turned gray overnight, and he said to Hong Wenyi in a deep voice: "Son, let's go, give you thirty warships, thirty warships, 50,000 soldiers and civilians, go to the Chinese Empire, take refuge in Zhang Qiang of the Chinese Empire, for my father to see clearly, the real winner of this battle is the Chinese Empire, after this battle, whether it is Zheng Jing or the British, the Dutch are all losers, only Zhang Qiang of the Chinese Empire is the winner."

Your third uncle is a very knowledgeable person, he followed Zhang Qiang early, and there have been setbacks repeatedly, but many times the Chinese Empire has rescued him, I can't do it, he will always guard against me, you can do it, you can be a courtier of the Chinese Empire in the future, don't think about anything else, and keep a little blood for my Hong family. ”

"Father, I'm not leaving." Hong Wenyi is already an adult in his twenties, but he knelt in front of Hong Hongxiu and cried like a child, his face was full of tears and snot.

"Let's go, take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet come, take a long detour, go from the east coast, go to the Indonesian archipelago, seek the protection of the Chinese Third Fleet, retreat to Palawan, and then find a chance to go to the Chinese Empire, don't go to your third uncle, your third uncle may still care about the time we cheat him."

"Father,"

"Hurry up, take your mother and all your family members, you must get away tonight, go to the open sea first and then turn back to the coastline, you must get away, we will not wait to break off."

At night, the Hong family fleet, which had been prepared for a long time, loaded the ships with soldiers and civilians, and sailed away in the night.

And Hong Hongxiu had already been prepared, so he sat in the lobby of the mansion and waited.

In the early morning of the next day, the fleet led by Zheng Jing came in a mighty manner, and the first thing that greeted him was the impact of as many as 200 suicide armed merchant ships and 100-ton warships, Zheng Jing's armed merchant ships and warships came forward to intercept, but they were broken through in many places, but the artillery fire of the armed merchant ships and 100-ton warships could not resist their giant ship cannons, and a few small waves were raised in the dense fleet formation, and they were extinguished, only 30 armed merchant ships and ships loaded with soldiers were lost, and 200 armed merchant ships and 100-ton warships were all destroyed.
