Hundreds of warships sailed the vast sea. In early summer in April, the morning in the sea reveals a hint of coolness. There is a sun, moon and dragon flag on the sea ship, indicating that this is a fleet from the Ming Dynasty, in this sea area, the Ming sailors have almost no opponents, and the one who can compete with them is the Western navy. However, there are few Western naval ships and soldiers, and if you really fight with the Ming Dynasty at sea, your strength will be a little weak......

Li Jiucheng strode into the lobby of Ding Wensheng, the governor of Denglai, and scolded him for a while, and his words were very vicious, of course, he was not scolding Ding Wensheng again, but scolding Nanming's Beiyang Sailors.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, and the old general Mao Wenlong on Phi Island mutinied, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty, received the rebel generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng, and Li Yingyuan on Phi Island. At the time of Denglai, Li Jiucheng spent all the money given by Sun Yuanhua to the city, fearing that he would be punished, so he robbed and mutinied, which was the "Wuqiao Mutiny" during the Chongzhen period, and it was also after the Wuqiao Mutiny, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and also invited the method of firearms manufacturing to be brought to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"General Li, what's wrong with you?" Although Ding Wensheng doesn't like Li Jiucheng very much, water warfare is the weakest point of the Qing Dynasty, and he can only rely on Han generals like Li Jiucheng who are familiar with water warfare, so Ding Wensheng has always been polite and very serious to Li Jiucheng.

Li Jiucheng said angrily: "They deceive people too much. ”

"Who are they?" Ding Wensheng asked puzzled.

Li Jiucheng's face turned red slowly, and he roared loudly: "Which one else, naturally, it is those sailor sentries from Nanming, our army was patrolling the sea this afternoon, and I don't want to encounter the Ming warships." You also know that when I was inspecting, they were all small boats, but the Ming army was all big ships, and two of our ships were knocked over......"

"General Li, you also know that our army's naval division has few soldiers and horses, and can only defend itself, so you can bear with it, and after we fight on the plain, cut off their back road, and then these naval divisions will be adrift, see what majesty they can have." Ding Wensheng also relieved Li Jiucheng a few words, after all, the sailor was not the main force of the Qing Dynasty, but it was just used for temporary needs.

The Beiyang Naval Division has been on Zhifu Island at this moment, only a hundred miles away from Dengzhou Haikou, 30 Fu ships, 70 Haicang ships, more than 100 Cangshan ships, all have been prepared, the Beiyang Naval Division has been ready to go, with Qi Biaojia's order, the Fu ship is in front, the Cangshan ship is in the middle, and the Haicang ship is behind, showing a wild goose in bursts, slowly sailing into Dengzhou Water Port, the morning glow is thick, and the sea surface is surging with waves.

The Qing Dynasty sailors in Dengzhou Water Port are cooking fire, it is already the end of the Shen period, two meals a day, they are helpless, no way, now the war is fierce in various places, they have no war here, the allocation of grain and grass is naturally less, it is good to be able to eat two meals a day, I don't know when even two meals are a luxury.

At this moment, more than ten sea ships suddenly appeared on the sea, slowly appeared in people's sight, the speed of the sea ships is amazing, obviously better than the sea ships of the Denglai sailors, those sea ships in the sea riding the wind and waves, whistling, the ship raised the mast, a vermilion flag is very dazzling, the sails are blown by the sea breeze, showing a huge bow.

This is also the decoration of the Daming sea ship, only in the Daming sea ship to prepare the vermilion flag, those giant warships, is the standing sea ship of the Ming Dynasty - Fu ship, the ship is equipped with six masts, under the skillful operation of the sailors, slowly raised. The people on the boat could see the bonfires in the Dengzhou Water Village from a distance, and the sound of frolicking was heard from time to time.

The Beiyang Naval Division approached quickly, as far as possible without making a sound, the boat broke the water, drew a waterline, and got closer and closer to Dengzhou Water Port, the drum suddenly became urgent, and on the command ship, a young general heard the rapid sound of the drum, so he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Pass my order, sail and attack with me." "This person is none other than the Thunderbolt of the Sea.

Less than a mile away from the coast, Shi Lang also breathed a sigh of relief, their warships are huge and steady, half larger than the Qing Dynasty sailors, which is also the difference between the Beiyang Navy Division and the Qing Dynasty Navy Army, on the one hand, technology, the most developed place for shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty is in the south, especially Fujian, which is the shipbuilding base, and the other is the responsibility, the Ming Dynasty sailors are to sail to the sea, but the Qing Dynasty sailors are only patrolling the near sea, the Qing Dynasty sailors pay more attention to flexibility, so the hull is relatively small, and the Beiyang sailors, More attention is paid to the combat effectiveness of each warship, so when building warships, more attention is paid to thickening and enlarging, so that the impact force of the sea ship increases. The soldiers patrolling the seashore were also stunned when they saw so many warships appearing, and they couldn't help but be startled.

"Enemy attack...... Hurry, prepare for war......" The sound of gongs and drums remembered, and the Dengzhou sailors who were holding their jobs picked up their weapons and came to the warships on the shore, and Li Jiucheng also ran quickly to the water village.

However, Li Jiucheng did not panic, and it was not unheard of that he was more embarrassed than the situation in front of him. If you can't win, you can run, anyway, they can land and evacuate at any time, there is no need to be so flustered.

"Do these people dare to call themselves water armies?" Shi Lang looked at the Denglai Sailor who was still preparing for battle in the distance, showing disdain, and drew his sword and shouted: "Cover the artillery fire, rush over." ”

The two Fu ships, with the cooperation of twenty Haicang ships, quickly approached the camp of the Denglai Naval Division. And on the ship, Shi Lang had already ordered someone to ignite the insidious, and suddenly green smoke rose, accompanied by roaring artillery.

"Put!" The shells of seven or eight cannons roared straight towards the warship of the Denglai Naval Division, and the moment the artillery was fired, a recoil force was generated, and the huge fortune boat couldn't help but sway slightly on the water.

Only a "boom" was heard, and the hull of a warship was blown through by the artillery, leaving a huge hole in the hull. More than a dozen shells, three of which hit the target. And the rest exploded next to the ship, the huge penetrating force, directly shook the Qing army's plank, and the entire hull also sank downward, the soldiers on the ship panicked, shouted loudly, and suddenly the soldiers on the ship who were hit to the ground and fell into the water one after another, and the Haicang ships on both sides were approaching.

Shi Lang's warship slowly walked out, several Haicang ships approached from the flanks, Shi Lang ordered the hull to fight horizontally in place, the huge volume of the Fu boat, slowly rowed out an arc on the water, several Haicang ships turned the ship, two giant Fu ships took turns to attack, more than a dozen artillery guns continued to fire, the ship of the Dengzhou Navy Division did not have any advantage, and now under such a fierce attack, it was even more panicked, and even the boat under Li Jiucheng had begun to enter the water...... Li Jiucheng shouted loudly, allowing the soldiers to stabilize their minds. However, in the face of Shi Lang's ferocious attack, the Dengzhou Navy had already been in chaos, and there were constant collisions between themselves, and the formation had already become chaotic.

At this time, Qi Biaojia and the remaining sailors also appeared from the side of the sea, galloped over, and rushed directly into the water port, attacking those Qing troops with muskets, rockets, and crossbows, and countless Qing troops fell into the water.

"Withdraw...... Quickly withdraw ......" Li Jiucheng saw that the situation was already in chaos and it was difficult to contain it, so he didn't dare to delay, and beckoned the soldiers and horses around him to withdraw one after another, no longer in love with the war.
