Chapter Ninety-Three: The Battle of Xiamen (5)
At the beginning, Zheng Chenggong set up two water villages in Xiamen and one in the west for convenience, mainly to facilitate the inland. One is on the east side, mainly for ease of access to the sea.
In Xishui Village, Xiamen, when he heard Hu San say that the Qing army and sailors attacked Xiamen, Xu Long was immediately furious.
The Zheng family sailors moved in response to the sound, the water village Hengjiang iron cable was opened, the sails were raised, and the Zheng family sailors battleships headed towards Xiamen Bay.
Under Ma Degong's order, the Qing army was divided into two fleets, one fleet returned to Quanzhou to transport Qing troops, and the other fleet stayed in Xiamen Xishui Village to carry the spoils.
It took more than three hours for the Qing soldiers to load all the spoils in Xiamen's Xishui Village onto the battleship.
When the Zheng family's sailors arrived, the Qing army had just loaded up and was ready to drive the ship back to Quanzhou.
Xu Long saw from a distance that the Qing army's sailors were preparing to drive their ships back to Quanzhou.
Xu Long was suddenly furious, the **** Qing army dared to rob our Zheng family's sailors, and they didn't want to think about what we started on!
"Brothers, someone is going to rob us of something. Do you say yes? ”
The Zheng family's sailor, who was originally a pirate, suddenly shouted, "Absolutely not, we have never robbed others, and no one has ever dared to rob us!" ”
Xu Long roared angrily: "Okay, kill!" Grab the stuff back for me! ”
Be!
The cloth was lifted, revealing the black muzzle. Hundreds of artillery pieces roared in unison, and two Qing ships were sunk in an instant.
Seeing the huge Fu ship being blown into a scrap ship in the blink of an eye, the Qing sailors were terrified.
The Qing soldiers drove the ships and ships to seize the road and try to escape.
Seeing that the two ships were blown up, Xu Long suddenly jumped up and scolded, "You little rabbit cubs, Sun sells Yetian and is not heartbroken." This is our warship, I asked you to snatch it back for me, who told you to blow it up. Who ****** dare to blow up again, Lao Tzu locked him up. ”
Afraid that those ships would be blown up again, Xu Long hurriedly issued the flag order.
The two newly-built locks immediately rushed out of the fleet and plunged straight into the advance of the Qing Army's naval division like sharp swords, interrupting their advance path.
Taking advantage of its speed, the lock ship opened fire to entangle the Qing army while dodging the Qing army's counterattack.
The two lock ships circled around the Qing army sailors like wild wolves, and they came up to bite at every opportunity.
The lock boats entangled the Qing army's sailors, and those sand boats took the opportunity to rush up.
In the blink of an eye, the Zheng family's ship was already approaching, and the Qing army was shocked.
As soon as the Zheng family's sailors approached, they firmly lassoed the Qing ships with their iron claws.
Holding the axe, the vine armor soldier jumped onto the enemy ship and fiercely slashed at the Qing army.
When the vine armor soldiers fought against the Franc machine and strangled the boat, they had experienced more than a dozen broadside battles, and they were all fierce and evil spirits who came out of the line of life and death.
Which rattan armor soldier has no life in his hands?
The icy sea breeze also tempered their ruthless hearts, and these people were killed like tigers entering a flock.
The vine armor soldiers rushed into the Qing army's water division, and the blades brought up bundles of blood.
The Qing sailors were originally Zheng Zhilong's men, but they had not fought for four years since they defected to the Manchus.
Sudden war, that suffered such a terrible war.
Seeing the vine armor soldiers dripping with blood, and their eyes revealing a fierce light like a beast, the Qing soldiers turned around in fright and fled.
The lock ships blocked, the sand ships were entangled, the Qing fleet could not go up, and the lucky ships of the Zheng family fleet rushed over.
Under the blowing of the strong wind, the tall fortune boat slammed into it.
Under the huge impact of the three-masted battleship, the deck of the Qing fleet was cracked and the whole body shook.
Countless soldiers fell from the ship and into the sea.
In the depths of autumn, the sea is cold to the bone.
The Zheng family's sailors have been training for many years, coupled with the protection of rattan armor to help float, and they are fine when they soak in the water for a while!
But not many trained Qing sailors were soaked in the sea, and soon their faces turned pale and their hands and feet froze.
They know what this means, they are constantly dealing with the sea, and they desperately cry out for help, "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender, save me, save me, save me......"
Seeing that the Zheng family sailors surrounded the fleet, the Qing sailors knew that they could not win the Zheng family sailors and could not escape.
Under the persuasion of some fellow Zheng family sailors, they felt that there was no resistance to surrendering to Zheng Chenggong.
Countless white flags were erected on the fleet, and when Xu Long saw it, he hurriedly ordered the Qing sailors to throw down their weapons and accept the care of the Zheng family's sailors, so he ordered to send small boats to salvage the Qing soldiers who fell into the water.
The fleet that was taken by the Qing army was recaptured by the Zheng family's sailors, but more than a dozen ships were damaged, and 2 were sunk.
Looking at the battleships that were sunk in the shallow sea of Xiamen, Xu Long gritted his teeth with hatred.
He shouted: "Go, send someone to tell General Hong, we have taken back the water village and the battleship." ”
"Yes, General!" When a guard heard this, he hurriedly went ashore and rode a horse to Xiamen City.
Hong Xu coughed, looking at the surrendered Qing soldiers, fortunately there were Lan Cheng and Shi Lang who led the army to resist desperately, so they did not cause major losses, otherwise they would have no shame to face the general.
I don't know what happened to Xu Long's side, whether he recaptured Dongshui Village and repelled the Qing army's water division.
Hong Xu tightened the cloak on his body and looked at the west worriedly.
Just as Hong Xu was thinking about whether to send someone to investigate, a soldier dressed as a guard rushed over, clasped his fists and shouted: "General Hong, our army's naval division has snatched back Dongshui Village and the battleship!" ”
Hong Xu's face suddenly became even more red when he heard the already red tide, and he shouted loudly: "Okay, good, so I finally don't deserve the trust of the general!" Ordered General Xu to send more people to inspect the sea, and never let the Qing army attack the shore again! ”
"Yes, the humble post will definitely be conveyed to General Xu!"
"Well, go ahead!"
The guard gave up and left.
Hong Xu thought for a while, sighed and said to his guards: "Send a ship out to sea to search for Zheng Siye, and tell him that the Qing army has been repulsed and Xiamen is safe, let him come back!" ”
Hearing that he was looking for the coward Zheng Zhiguan, the guard said contemptuously: "General, you and the general entrusted him with the trust, but he ran away without permission, why do you bother looking for him, general!" ”
Hearing the guard say this, Hong Xu drank: "Shut up, is this kind of thing something that you, a little guard, can discuss?" ”
Hearing that Hong Xu was angry, the guard hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, little Meng Lang, please forgive the general!" ”
Hong Xu waved his hand and said, "Fourth Master Zheng is the general's uncle in the end, and everything will be dealt with when the general comes back." You just need to invite Zheng Siye back and forth! ”
"Yes, the little ones are going!"
After some searching, the Zheng family sailor found Zheng Zhiguan near Penghu Island, and after clarifying the situation, Zheng Zhiguan let the boatman drive back to Xiamen.
Zheng Zhiguan returned to Xiamen, and the cat never went out.
