"Big ...... The battleship of the Ming Dynasty! Seeing the battleship on the opposite side against the current, listening to the continuous roar of the opponent's battleship, Corinan was also shocked and sluggish, the only one who could have such a huge warship in the entire South Sea, and the battleship was also equipped with artillery, only the Ming army stationed in Malacca.

Qiu Ju was already ready for defeat, and even in order to buy a little time for the people in the rear to retreat, he had already planned to die on the Muxi River, but he didn't expect that at this most critical moment, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty finally arrived, which made him feel like he was in a desperate situation, and several generals behind him were even more excited and tearful, after all, no one likes death.

The Daming fleet that came to support this time was led by Qu Lie himself, and Shen Ying, as the admiral, wanted to sit in Malacca, so naturally he couldn't move lightly, so Qu Lie, who was the second person in the army, personally led the team. They could have arrived at the battlefield earlier, but when crossing the Musi River, they encountered several bridges along the way, which were too low for their warships to pass.

Qu Lie is not as opposed to supporting the old port as Shen Ying, in his opinion, as long as there is a war, now the entire Governor's Mansion knows the Tao, although Shen Ying is highly respected, but after all, he is old, and the Governor of the Four Seas is also mainly a sailor, so he will definitely retire in the future, so the position of the Admiral is also vacant, and in the entire Governor's Palace, the most likely to inherit the position of Admiral is only him and Chang Xiao, before Chang Xiao has independently led the troops to fight with the Japanese and Koreans, and has made a lot of contributions. This made Qu Lie very anxious. After all, everything in the army speaks with military merit. Now Chang Xiao has obviously gone ahead of himself.

It is precisely because of the big threat of Chang Xiao, so Qu Lie doesn't care if he should send troops now, that is what should be considered by the above, what he is thinking about now is only to make military achievements, whether he can surpass Chang Xiao for the time being, at least he must catch up with the other party, otherwise he will not even be able to eat.

It is precisely with this above intention that Qu Lie is very hard working on the matter of aiding the old port this time. When he stood at the bow of the ship and saw with a telescope that the old port army was already a little overwhelmed, he immediately ordered the guns on the ship to fire, and hundreds of shells flew out, and the Muxi River was not too wide for them, so it was easy to be covered by them and shot again, and the effect was good, although most of the shells missed, but there were also some shells that hit the warships of the Danmu Kingdom, especially the warship of the other party, which was suspected to be the flagship, was also hit, and the middle of the hull was smashed by the cannonballs. I don't know if the commander of the other party is dead? `

"Daming's reinforcements are coming, brothers kill me!" With a chant from Qiu Ju. The soldiers around him also spread the news out, and the soldiers of the old port on the other ships heard that their reinforcements had arrived, and they were also from their home country, which gave them all a great morale, and they were all courageous to kill the light-eyed soldiers who attacked the ship.

In contrast, the soldiers of the Danmu country were as pale as earth, they didn't know who the army came to help, and they couldn't understand what the Han soldiers in the old port were shouting, but they knew that the other party's tall warships were equipped with countless cannons, and they always thought that only their own side had artillery, and they also had absolute confidence in their artillery, believing that no one in this world was an opponent of artillery, but now the other party had more artillery, This shattered the confidence of all the soldiers of the Danmu Kingdom, and even the more heroic the soldiers, now they looked even more cowardly in the face of artillery, and they were ready to flee one by one.

Qiu Ju encouraged his soldiers to kill the enemy, and at the same time directed his warships to move to both sides, so as to make way for the Ming warships behind. Qu Lie in the back was not polite, he personally commanded his own battleship, and the first one rushed into the battlefield, but compared with the small battleships of those Nanyang people, his battleship was like a huge rush into the group of gnomes, and with a casual wave of his hand, he could crush the dwarfs around him into pieces.

The biggest difference between water warfare and land warfare is that water warfare is very dependent on equipment, especially as a carrier of water warfare, it can determine the outcome of a war. It's a pity that these small boats were taken care of by the Ming warships at the beginning, and they were hit by several shells almost in the blink of an eye, and they sank to the bottom of the Muxi River unwillingly.

Kelinan looked at the Ming warships that were raging in the warship group on his side, but in the blink of an eye, dozens of warships on his side were injured by the Ming warships, most of them were hit by artillery, and the other part was directly hit and sunk by the opponent's warships, and the opponent's hull was so tall that the soldiers on their own side had no chance to jump onto the other party's battleship, so they could only watch the boats under their feet be crashed, and then struggle in the river one by one.

"Withdraw...... Fall back! "Kolinan was a little weak, and a little unwilling to give the most reluctant order, in the face of these tall warships of the Ming Dynasty, and they were also equipped with countless artillery, their small ships were only left with the fate of being slaughtered, and even his ship was injured, and now it was completely unusable, which made him have to transfer to another ship to command.

With the order to retreat from Corinan was issued, all the warships of the Danmu Kingdom did not have the slightest love of fighting, turned the bow of the ship and went upriver at the fastest speed, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, they were really frightened by the Ming warship, it is estimated that after this battle, as long as they see the Ming fleet in the future, they will flee quickly.

Although the Muxi River is wide, it is a river after all, which is a bit unsuitable for Qu Lie's large warships, at least the speed can't go up, so the most reluctant can only watch the warships of the Danmu Kingdom escape, which makes Qu Lie very annoyed, and finally vents his anger on the elephant soldiers of the Danmu Kingdom on both sides, as a result, after a salvo of artillery and bed crossbows, those slow elephant soldiers were shot to death, and the rest did not obey the command of the elephant slave at all, and roared and rushed into the forest on both sides of the riverbank.

Seeing the defeat of the Danmu Kingdom, the Han army in the old port was naturally jubilant, but they did not forget to express their gratitude to Qu Lie, although Qu Lie felt that this battle was too easy, but it was not good to show it at this time, and waved his hand at the old port army at the moment, and then asked the leader of the other party to get on the ship, so as to discuss the next thing.

Qiu Ju with the excitement of the rest of his life, leaned his boat to Qu Lie's big ship, and then climbed up the rope ladder on the boat, and as soon as he got on the ship, he immediately felt that his eyes were not enough, only to see that the two sides of this Ming warship were covered with artillery, and the steel cast cannons were squatting there, like a speechless tiger, which made people feel a kind of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

"The grass people gather on the hill, meet General Qu!" After Qiu Ju saw Qu Lie, he immediately bowed down and saluted, he had already inquired when he got on the boat, and the general who led the team in front of him was surnamed Qu, and he was also the top three generals in the four navies, this kind of character was not something he could offend.

"Ha Luha, Patriarch Qiu doesn't have to be polite, I have already heard the Grand Imam introduce the situation of the old port when I came, and it is really a righteous act for Patriarch Qiu to stand up in times of crisis and organize troops to protect the old port, and I also admire Qu very much!" Although Qu Lie had an arrogant attitude, he also showed enough politeness to Qiu Ju, after all, he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him had a huge influence on the old port, and if the Ming Dynasty wanted to rule here in the future, he would have to use the power of the Qiu family.

Seeing that Qu Lie was so polite to him, Qiu Ju was also very happy, and hurriedly said a few polite words, and immediately invited the other party back to his military camp, after all, Qu Lie and they came from afar, and they must have been very sleepy after another big battle, so they still went to the military camp to rest, and at this time, the city also had time to prepare for the ceremony to celebrate the victory.

Qu Lie was not polite at the moment, and immediately ordered the fleet to follow Qiu Ju to the barracks of the old port army stationed outside the city, and not long after they arrived at the barracks, they received a report from the spies, and after the army of the Danmu Kingdom was defeated, Kolinan immediately led the army all the way to the wild, and it seemed that he was preparing to flee back to Java Island. In addition, according to the report of the people who counted the results of the battle, although the Ming army and the Danmu army did not fight for a long time, they destroyed hundreds of warships of the other side, and the other side suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but some people really died in the hands of the Ming soldiers, but very few, most of them were drowned after falling into the water.

The Danmu Kingdom retreated, and the siege of the old port naturally disappeared, which made the old port full of gratitude to the Ming army, that night, there were many residents of the old port who sent the prepared cattle, mutton and fish meat to the barracks to reward the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the only bad thing is that there is no wine, because Muslims do not drink at all, and I am afraid that there is no glass of wine in the entire old port city, which makes Qu Lie very regretful.

The old port is very enthusiastic about the Ming army, but Qu Lie did not forget his task because of this enthusiasm, he came to the old port in addition to helping the Han people here to repel the Danmu Kingdom, but also other tasks, such as the first is to take over the defense of the old port, after all, this is likely to become the second Malacca, Qiu Ju they are also very cooperative, after all, they do not have the idea of occupying the mountain as the king, and now there is the umbrella of the Ming Dynasty, which can make them live a better life.

However, after Qu Lie took over the defense of the Old Port, he was about to urge the Grand Imam to fulfill his original promise, when suddenly something unexpected happened to him, and it was this incident that almost caused him to clash with the Muslims of the entire Old Port.
