After Li Xingzhong and Li Gui received this news, they immediately ordered the army to board the ship to prepare for battle, but before the team on the island could take action, another small boat on the sea guard came.

The person who returned the letter was happy, and when he saw Li Xingzhong's face, he concluded that it was the sailors of the Ming Dynasty who came, because they saw the Ming army flag and the sailor flag fluttering on the mast of the opposite fleet from a distance.

The military flag of the Ming Dynasty is the dragon flying phoenix dance flag with a vermilion background set by Emperor Chongzhen.

The sailor flag of the Ming Dynasty was embroidered with the Big Dipper flag on a black background and a white star on the Big Dipper.

At this time, the fleet coming from the north was the Yingzhou Island Marine Army that Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and others withdrew from the Tumen River Estuary and returned to Yingzhou Town.

Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and others have been leading their troops to the Tumen River Estuary since they returned from the battle in the rear of Jianyu, until they received the will of the reward in April, and after handing over the defense of the Tumen Town Guard Mansion with Shang Kexi and Ban Zhifu, who went north from Changzhou and Jiangzhou, they began to withdraw their troops and return south because of the news of the Tsushima Domain.

Because he was accompanied by the Korean soldiers under the deputy marshal of the Korean soldiers and horses, the Korean soldiers and horses under the command of Yuan Dou Pyo, the team of men and horses was huge, there were many large and small ships, and the supplies needed were naturally many, and they were going against the wind, so Chen Jisheng and Kong Youde led the fleet to stop and stop along the northern coast of the Korean Peninsula along the way.

It was not until mid-May when he stopped at the port of Pusan, Gyeongsangnam-do, that he heard a report from a local North Korean official that a group of Ming ships had gone to Tsushima Island with North Korean soldiers and horses.

Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and other generals thought that they were too late to catch up, but they didn't expect that Li Xingzhong, the main fleet of Dongjiang Town, actually suffered a big defeat under Tsushima Fan.

At noon on May 24 in the third year of Chongzhen, Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde, and Yuan Douping, the deputy marshal of the Korean soldiers and horses, led a fleet and the army on board to achieve a meeting with the army of Li Xingzhong and Li Gui.

Although Chen Jisheng didn't know that he had become the new envoy of Yingzhou Town at this time, he still had an identity, that is, the deputy capital commander of the five roads in Dongjiang Town.

Although in fact, only the army under the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion could be commanded, but in the absence of Mao Wenlong, the commander of Anton Hou, he nominally had the command of any army in Dongjiang Town.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Jisheng arrived, he naturally immediately became the supreme commander of the coalition army of nearly 20,000 people after this division.

On the second day after the meeting, Chen Jisheng discussed with everyone and divided the fleet of the sailors and the combat army under his command into two:

Led by Li Xingzhong and Li Gui, the original naval division and the Korean army in charge of the landing operation, again went to the port of Yanyuan to launch an artillery bombardment and feint.

Chen Jisheng himself took the team of Kong Youde and Yuan Doubi to the north to find a new landing site, and then jointly attacked the Tsushima defenders on this South Tsushima Island.

On the afternoon of the day when this strategy was decided, the huge fleet of sailors in the waters east of Tsushima Island split into two, and one went directly to the west, heading for the port of Yanyuan, which was more than ten nautical miles away.

The other group turned north and, after driving some distance, also turned west and headed for other shores on the east side of Tsushima that were suitable for landing and anchoring.

After Li Xingzhong led the fleet to the outside of Yanyuan Port again, he took the large warship in front and used the Franc machine gun on the ship to start shelling Yanyuan Port, which had suffered a defeat here.

Dozens of large warships loaded with Franc machine guns took turns to fight, stopping and stopping, from afternoon to dusk, and from dusk to night.

And the garrison batteries of the Tsushima Domain in Yanyuan Harbor also kept fighting back, but Li Xingzhong learned the lesson of the previous time this time and always kept the fleet out of the landing point of the cannonballs.

Of course, since then, not many of the Dongjiang Naval Division's warships under his command have been able to hit the shore and directly threaten the defenders of the Tsushima Domain in the harbor.

However, the intermittent shelling of you and me throughout the night made the sea outside the port of Yanyuan lively, and the defenders of Tsushima Island in the port were also tense for a night.

Also that night, the fleet and the North Korean army that followed Chen Jisheng north to find a landing site took advantage of the rumbling of artillery outside Yanyuan Harbor to launch a landing.

Kong Youde personally led a team to supervise the battle, and the deputy marshal of the Korean army, Won Doo-pyo, sent his general Shin Chang-hwan, with the Korean army as the main force of the landing, and a total of 5,000 people took a large number of small boats to take advantage of the high tide at night to rush to a reef in the northern section of South Tsushima Island and the undefended coast.

On Tsushima Island in late May, the sea breeze at night is slightly cool, but it is not cold, but the night fog is heavy and the humidity is heavy.

The 5,000-strong Korean army and the Ming army guarding the palace in Yingzhou Town rushed to the coast one after another in small boats, hiding in the mountains and forests by the sea, and after three hours.

In the early morning of the next day, when the east was white and the sky was slightly bright, Kong Youde took the musket team of Luo Shouzhong's department in Yingzhou Town, and urged the Korean army under Shen Changhuan to start marching all the way.

At this time, Li Xingzhong's department also launched an artillery bombardment on Yanyuan Port again.

In the middle of the night on the first day, watching the landing ships send one after another to the shore one by one, Chen Jisheng was very down-to-earth, thinking that with this arrangement, and with 5,000 people ashore, the defenders on Tsushima Island would definitely be defeated.

So in the middle of the night, he was relieved and slept until dawn, until he was awakened by the sound of gunfire on Tsushima.

The main force of this landing was the North Korean army, and the North Korean army did not have any musket equipment, and the only musket team and a few artillery pieces that were sent ashore to attack the city were all troops of Luo Shouzhong's headquarters under the command of Yingzhou Town Guard.

By mid-morning, the sea east of Tsushima Island was calm, but the gunfire on the island sounded more and more intense, and it was getting closer and closer to the anchorage of the fleet.

The more Chen Jisheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the fleet to anchor and sent a small boat as close to the coast as possible to observe the situation.

As a result, the fleet had just heard the order to lift anchor, and before the small boats sent out had approached the coastline, which was at low tide, they saw a convoy coming back from south to north on the shore.

Chen Jisheng took out the binoculars and took a look at it, only to find that this team turned out to be the soldiers and horses of his Yingzhou Town Guard, Kong Youde was run in front by a team of Ming soldiers and guards, and Luo Shouzhong took the musket team to cover behind.

And behind these Ming soldiers who fled back in embarrassment, there were also some panicked and screaming North Korean soldiers.

In the woods not far behind the North Korean soldiers, they kept thinking about the sound of thumping muskets!

When Chen Jisheng saw this scene, he was shocked at that time, knowing that the main force of the North Korean army sent to the island was afraid that it would be more than lucky, so he quickly ordered a small boat to be sent to the shore to meet it.

In less than half an hour, the troops of the Tsushima Domain, who were chasing the Ming army and the Korean army from behind, finally appeared on the shore with rows of muskets, and also appeared in the binoculars of Chen Jisheng and Yuan Doubi.

At this time, Chen Jisheng knew that the defenders of the Tsushima Domain were actually equipped with so many muskets, and he realized that he really underestimated these Japanese who dared to harass the Korean coast.

Under the urging of Yuan Douping, Chen Jisheng hurriedly ordered the warships in the fleet to open artillery to bombard the Japanese musketeers lined up in a dense formation on the coast, and the self-troops who had fled to the coast quickly boarded the ships and evacuated.

However, what made Chen Jisheng regret at this time was that when he retreated from the Tumen Town Guard Mansion this time, according to the arrangement of Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town, and also according to the request of Shang Kexi, the envoy of the Tumen Town Guard, he asked Kong Youde to carry and equip a large number of artillery pieces with the fleet, including the general cannon, the Franc machine gun and the Chongzhen type of rear-loading sub-cannon improved from the Franc machine gun, to Shang Kexi and Ban Zhifu.

At this time when artillery support was needed, a huge fleet, with only a dozen or so 400 Fukufu ships still equipped with Franc cannons, although they killed a series of Japanese soldiers who were pursuing in Tsushima, but it was not enough to crush their team, and it was difficult to stop their pursuit.

Fortunately, the hundreds of Ming troops guarding the Yingzhou Town Mansion ran ahead, and they also had muskets in their hands to return fire.

In this way, around midnight that morning, Kong Youde and Luo Shouzhong fled back to the ship with the remaining hundreds of Ming army musketeers, but there were very few Korean soldiers who escaped back on the ship.

When Kong Youde and Luo Shouzhong boarded Chen Jisheng's flagship ship in a small boat, Chen Jisheng knew the details.
