Ten sea-going ships, nine of which had twenty cannons of four hundred tons each, and fifty cannons on the eight-hundred-ton flagship, for a total of two hundred and thirty cannons, and one salvo was more than two hundred shells.

This cannon is not an ordinary cannonball, it is the most famous red-coated cannon in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the red-coated cannon is the British naval cannon imitated by the Ming Dynasty, and these naval cannons are silent on the coast of Guangdong, and were fished up and sold to the Ming Dynasty by the Dutch.

More than 200 red-coated cannons opened fire at the same time, not to mention the killing, the momentum alone was terrifying enough, only to see one cannon after another sounded, puffs of white smoke rose from the sea, and the battleship was pushed back slightly by the reaction force.

Then there was a loud noise, and the earth was really shaking.

More than 200 shells came over, and the cavalry of the Qing army marched in a close formation, such a big target, if not a single shell hit, it would be a miracle, of course, the miracle did not happen, a full three shells hit them, like 30 iron plows, ploughed out 30 blood ditches, dead and wounded no less than 100 people.

This scene made Li Wuliu, who thought he was used to seeing artillery battles, feel shocked.

Li Wuliu was shocked, not to mention those people who rode horses.

Not to mention the people who rode horses, even the war horses under their seats were dumbfounded.

These war horses may have seen cannons, but they have never seen ships, looking at this house-like thing, suddenly spewed out puffs of white smoke, and then there was a huge sound, what kind of monster is the war horse, immediately dozens of war horses were frightened and threw the owner above, and then neighed, let the master drink and scold and beat is not willing to take a step forward.

The Qing army, which was not frightened by the war horses, was actually not much better, and their owners were also frightened enough, what kind of thing is this. Why are there so many cannons, the momentum is still so scary, it sounds like a red-coated cannon.

The point is that the losses are too heavy. There are still a few miles away from the other party, and this directly killed a hundred of them. How many people would survive if they rushed over?

So after the shelling, after only advancing a few feet away under the action of inertia, the Qing cavalry invariably stopped, and the officer hesitated for a moment, turned his horse's head and fled from this area.

Seeing the Qing army in front of him fleeing, Li Wuliu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was really thrilling, if it weren't for the naval artillery to scare away these Qing troops. The consequences are unimaginable.

At this time, he didn't care about forming a formation, so he immediately rested and recuperated, and assigned men to camp immediately.

This is a fishing village, I don't know how many years the creation of the sand and shell remains piled up on the hill, a few small houses, a few broken fishing nets hung in front of the house and behind the house, people have long been gone, I am afraid that as soon as the Qing army came, they hid in Haizhou City.

Li Wuliu immediately asked people to enter the village, and obstacles were laid at all entrances and exits in the village. Tables, chairs, benches, and even abandoned wrecked boats in fishermen's homes have become useful props. Let people rotate and rest.

At this time, Li Wuliu realized that the sea boat that had just helped them had not left yet, and had anchored outside the fishing village.

Lianyungang is the best natural harbor in northern Jiangsu, backed by Yunshan, facing Liandao, many islands in the open sea can shelter the wind and waves, in the later generations is China's top ten seaports, one of the world's top 100.

It is enough to prove how advantageous the geographical conditions here are, although the Ming Dynasty did not use this place as a seaport. But for ships sheltering from the wind, it's just too suitable.

To be honest, these sailors are also already tired. Two days and one night galloping thousands of miles, this kind of thing they didn't dare to do before. This time it was a military operation, which did not hesitate to take the risk and advance at full speed at night.

However, this also confirms a legend, the Tang Dynasty has a record that from Mingzhou (Ningbo) to Japan, three days to arrive, Japan's Nagasaki is actually two or three thousand miles away from the Yangtze River estuary, if the wind direction is suitable, and dare to play with their lives, they can actually do this three-masted ship.

However, whether it is the Zheng family or the Dutch, it basically takes about ten days to go to Japan every year, the wind direction and sea conditions are suitable, and the fastest is six or seven days, because no one wants to go at full speed day and night, not to mention that people are tired, the key is to hurt the ship, and the ship is the only reliance of sailors on the sea, no one dares to joke about this kind of thing.

After the sailor broke anchor, Li Wuliu had already brought someone over, so he naturally thanked him.

The ship on the flagship told Li Wuliu to rest assured, if the Tartars still dared to come, their naval guns would not be polite.

Li Wuliu is not hypocritical, these sailors are actually soldiers of the water battalion, and you can be regarded as a brother in Paoze.

At this time, in the camp of the Qing army, the generals looked at each other, a little at a loss.

They came to fight Haizhou only for the purpose of mobilizing Yang Chao, if Yang Chao dared to go north regardless of everything, it would naturally be Prince Yu Duoduo who competed with him in Huai'an, if Yang Chao was unmoved, then they would capture Haizhou.

The news from Huai'an is that let them calm down, Yang Chao has signs of taking the bait, let them wait a little longer.

Therefore, in the past few days, the Qing army was only harassing, and did not attack Haizhou City in earnest, and did not even completely surround Haizhou, but only camped on the top of Qu Mountain in the south of Haizhou.

With the experience of Turge camping on flat ground and being attacked by Yang Chaoshui, the Qing army was much more careful this time, and Zhunta made up his mind to camp on the mountain, and he would not go down the mountain if he was killed.

Their camp was also set up near the former Turg camp, which was now a temple of heroes, a martyr's temple dedicated to Yang Chao's soldiers who died in battle.

The generals of the Qing army were still interested in visiting this martyr's temple, the martyr's temple was stained with the blood of their compatriots' iron armor, they did not destroy it, and the tower was going to give it to Duoduo, so that after Duoduo defeated Yang Chao, let Yang Chao take a good look.

With this relaxed mentality, the Qing army of the Zhun Tabu not only did not attack Haizhou, but even did not stop the soldiers who escaped from Haizhou, allowing them to bypass Haizhou and flee to Jiangnan, so that these people could continue to pass the news to Yang Chao and the small court in Nanjing.

Their purpose was to force the Ming army to rescue, but the Ming army really came to the rescue, but what they didn't expect was that the Ming army would come to the rescue from the sea, which caught them off guard.

In particular, the news that came out was that there were many cannons on the ships of the Ming army, and there were as many red-clothed cannons on those ships as there were on the big city of Liaodong, and more than 100 of them were killed at once.

This unknown way of fighting made Zhun Ta have to be careful.

Although he commanded the Qing army in Shandong, his strength was really not strong, and the real Eight Banners were only 4,000 at best, of which 2,000 were Han Eight Banners, 600 Meng's Eight Banners, and only 400 Manchurian Eight Banners.

The rest were all surrendered troops from Shandong, which the Manchus called the Green Battalion, with a total of 7,000.

Although Zhun Ta claimed to command 10,000 troops, he knew in his heart that there were only 3,000 troops that could really fight.

It was these 3,000 elites who were shelled today, and only these people were cavalrymen, so after discovering that there was an abnormal movement on the beach, they could rush over as soon as possible, but they didn't expect to be killed by more than 100.

The tower is not a soldier who can afford to die.

Therefore, he gave up the rash attack, and on the second day, Zhun Ta personally led people to investigate, five miles away, holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe, and saw that the big ships, the muzzles of the guns were still open, revealing black holes.

The Ming reinforcements were in the fishing village, only fifty feet away from the sea boats, and it was obvious that attacking these people would have to be bombarded by gunboats, which were said to be famous red-coated cannons.

"Find a Han soldier to write a war letter, saying that we will fight them in the field!"

Zhun Ta instructed the guards around him to pass the order, find a green battalion soldier to give the Ming army a war letter, although the Han Eight Banners can also speak Chinese, but Zhun Ta is reluctant to let the Eight Banners take this risk, although the Han Eight Banners are second-class citizens outside the Guan, but after entering the customs, the Manchurians feel that compared to the surrendered Ming army, these people can also be regarded as half of their own people.

"Ezhen, how could the Ming army agree!"

Zhun Ta's men shook their heads and sighed, feeling that there was no point in Junta doing this.

Zhun Ta smiled: "I know that the Ming army will not agree. ”

The subordinate was puzzled: "Then I really have to send someone!" ”

Zhun Ta said: "The Ming army didn't agree, we just preached, and the soldiers of the province were frightened by Yang Chao's name." ”

The subordinate said, "What if the other party kills the messenger?" ”

Zhun Ta said: "That's better, stimulate the green battalion soldiers, maybe this group of idiots who can only eat can also help!" ”

Li 56 in the camp.

"Fight with Lao Tzu!"

Li Wuliu looked at the green battalion soldiers who came to challenge, it was so much to his liking.

After a night of cultivation and down-to-earth, although his body has not fully recovered to his best condition, there is no problem with the arrangement of his soldiers, and he has absolute confidence in his iron wall formation.

So he agreed: "Go back and tell the chieftain that at noon today, I will fight with him under the city of Haizhou." Let him wash his neck and wait! ”

The green battalion soldier hurriedly agreed, he thought that he had received a task of nine deaths, who let him have bad luck and drew a death lot, but he didn't expect this stupid Ming army to agree, he really thought that the field battle could win the Eight Banners.

The Jurchens are less than 10,000 and invincible, and this prestige is established by relying on the heads of millions of Ming troops.

The green battalion soldiers are full of confidence in the group of Eight Banner Masters, although Yang Chao's name is also very big, but they are all surprisingly victorious, and they have not won the Eight Banners in the field.

After the green battalion soldiers replied to the tower, the tower did not expect that the victory would not come so easily, but he would not miss the opportunity, let alone the Ming army fainted, or the battle of Yangzhou made the Ming army crazy, in short, he was absolutely unwilling to let go of the hard-won night battle opportunity.

Soon Zhun Ta ordered the whole army to bury the pot and make food, and the decisive battle at noon.

To be honest, at this time, Zhunta was really a little worried about whether the Ming army was lying to him and would fight at all, but as for the battle itself, he was not worried, because no one in the Qing army would think that they would lose in the field battle.

And Li Wuliu's side, almost at the same time, conveyed the order, and also hurried to eat, and let the soldiers only eat six minutes full, and then seize the time to rest.

After resting and recuperating, both sides finally walked to the battlefield at the same time in the afternoon when the sun was blazing. (To be continued)
