Chapter 440: Thunder Rescue

To Chi Sheng's astonishment, the horizon was covered with white sails, which were full of wind power, and were riding the wind and waves to rush towards the tiger's mouth at full speed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In a short period of time, this huge fleet got a lot closer, and saw that it was all soft sails, Chi Sheng had already realized something, and when he saw the ship type, he had already determined that this was Denglai's sea ship, only Denglai Zhao Lie had this kind of warship, and he knew this.

When the flags of Denglai Dusi and Zhao fluttering on several sea ships in front revealed the owner of this fleet, Chi Sheng burst into tears, and a thirty-year-old man burst into tears.

Chi Sheng wiped his face vigorously, wiped away his tears, he quickly looked at the situation, and immediately ordered the three Fu ships behind him to speed up with full sails to catch up with the six sea ships in front.

At this time, what six warships opened the way for their three lucky ships, now what is needed is that the nine warships must work together, and they must disperse the fireships at the mouth of the bay, so that the warships of the Denglai reinforcements can rush into the bay as soon as possible, so that the reinforcements can enter the crumbling Lushun City as soon as possible.

When these warships approached three miles from the entrance of the bay, Zhao Lie, the bow of the Li Ji, was observing the situation at the mouth of the bay with a telescope.

He saw several sea ships flying the flag of the Ming Navy rushing to the mouth of the bay and fighting with the warships flying the flag of Jiannu, this is not a lie, it is really a firefight, almost all the warships of Jiannu are on fire.

However, few sailors fell overboard on the warships of the Daming Naval Division, and they still drove the ships with full sails to the shore with the Jiannu fireships that had collided with the warships hanging on the warship, so that the mouth of the bay was cleared.

Today's bay mouth, except for the remaining three or two kittens, has been cleaned, and the road ahead is wide open.

Seeing the actions of these Ming warships, although Zhao Lie was amazed by their bravery, his heart sank. It is said that if Lushun was not in a critical situation, the Ming warships would not have launched a suicide attack.

This situation can only show that Arthur City may be in turmoil, and the Ming sailors made this hopeless charge, probably in order to reinforce the defenders in the city.

Zhao Lie immediately ordered the flotilla of ten patrol ships in front to rush into battle, and they must storm the fireships at the mouth of the bay, and at the same time ordered the flotilla behind to rush into the bay at full speed.

See the red eagle head on a black background rising from the Li Ji. All the patrol ships in front of them rushed forward like crazy, this was a call to urge them to move forward and fight to the death, and they really dared not obey.

Less than a mile from the mouth of the bay, the first four cruisers did not sail to the mouth of the bay, but turned their bows to the north and south.

The forty guns on the sides of the four ships began to roar, and a dull sound echoed in the bay, and the remaining three or four fireships of the Jiannu sailors were immediately swallowed up by the water column, and then the two fireships were hit by several projectiles, and the twenty-four-pounder and eighteen-pounder Tiago guns dismantled the small fireship. Almost tear them to shreds.

The six patrol ships behind did not stop at all and continued to move forward at full speed, and all other warships at the mouth of the bay were disposed of.

Boom, boom, the second blow came, and the last fireship was also reduced to pieces, and the sea at the mouth of the bay was littered with fragments of ship planks and human bodies.

On both sides of the mouth of the bay were the burning Ming warships and the fireships hanging on them, both of which were caught in flames and smoke.

Several patrol ships broke into the mouth of the bay despite these sailors, and a few miles ahead was the city of Arthur.

In the bay, more than 20 ships of the Jiannu Naval Division, such as the Fu Boat and Haicang, are raising their sails to welcome the patrol ships.

Liu Hui looked nervously on the large Fu boat, he really couldn't think of anyone in the Ming army who had so many Xiyi warships. Could it be the Denglai army, Zhao Lie of Denglai has such a fleet of Xiyi warships. Of course, the only water master in Jiannu knew about this situation, but how did they appear here?

This is incredible, Liu Hui is still painting his soul, several behemoths at the mouth of the bay burst in, the largest two are several times the size of his ship, and several bulging sails on each sea ship carry these behemoths forward quickly.

Liu Hui's face changed greatly. If it was a few warships of the same size as his warships in front, he could still barely support them, and these few ships would not need any broadside battles, and they could directly knock over the warships under his command, which were too huge.

The question is. There were also warships rushing in behind, only to see one after another Xiyi giant ships rushing into the bay, only a few small sand boats between them were considered small, but these sand boats were also more than half the size of the lucky boats that sat down.

Seeing this, Liu Hui already knew that the defeat was decided, and his subordinates would not be able to stop this huge Ming fleet.

The only thing he could be glad about was that he sent personnel to Tongbing Nancheng to command Tuhai, who was besieging the city, as long as Tuhai didn't talk about it.

Liu Hui ordered all the warships to meet the enemy, knowing that they had to fight if they were not the enemy, unless Liu Hui didn't want to take the lives of dozens of clansmen in Liaodong, Jiannu punished the defecting soldiers very severely, even Jiannu's armor soldiers had to be beheaded, as for the Han army, there was no need to talk about it, what was shot to death, whipped to death, horse trampled to death, hanged, there were more, he had to fight.

Of course, the result was very cruel, and the ten smaller battleships in front were not matched by Liu Hui's battleships, and these ten battleships withstood two rounds of bombardment by more than 20 bow guns of the Jiannu Naval Division, and after suffering some small damage that was not worth mentioning, they turned their bows and turned their sides to face the enemy.

Boom, boom, a hundred artillery pieces began to roar, shaking the bay into the sky, and smoke rose from the entire bay.

Almost all of the twenty-odd warships were hit, except for the lucky ones, as long as they were hit by Tiago's can opener, they immediately caused a rain of wood chips on the deck, injuring everything they encountered.

Liu Hui's ship was fortunately not hit, but now the commander of Jiannu's sailors was so shocked that his jaw couldn't close, and he stared at the two huge irregular holes on the neighboring warship, and the sea water was slowly entering the bottom of the warship, and then the speed of the seawater entering was rapidly accelerating.

Entering the cabin with a cooing sound, Liu Hui knew that the ship was over, and the sailors on board were frantically jumping into the water.

Boom, boom, there was another roar, and Liu Hui's boat shook suddenly, and this force was huge, making Liu Hui fall on the deck all of a sudden.

At this time, Liu Hui was really crooked and slanted, and he didn't look like a general, more like a deserter.

He struggled to get up, grabbed the side of the ship, and looked to the sideboard, only to see a huge hole in his boat, that is, in a good position, not near the waterline, so that the sea did not enter much.

And several Xiyi warships, which were much larger than the previous small ships, also joined in, boom, boom, and the sound of these cannons was much lower and more powerful.

A Haicang ship on the left side of Liu Huiza's ship was hit by two cannons, and the huge projectile of the 36-pound Tiago cannon was not something that this small warship could withstand, the bow of this warship was knocked away by two projectiles, and a large stream of sea water rushed in, and in an instant, the bow of the entire warship entered the water, and the hull behind it was propped up, and then the middle of the hull was overwhelmed and suddenly broke, and the entire battlefield was broken into several pieces and sank into the sea quickly.

When Liu Hui was still looking at the whirlpool on the sea and the struggling sailors in a daze, he felt the deck under his feet shake violently, and he was shot, and Liu Hui stumbled on the deck.

Before he could come back to his senses, a projectile came straight from front of him to the deck, Liu Hui struggled hard to stand up, but the speed of the projectile was actually comparable to the speed of the adult's slightly obese body, and this projectile stirred up five people, including the commander and his four guards, into scattered minced meat.

More than 20 ships were sunk or paralyzed at sea, and the water was littered with ship planks and human body fragments.

Jiannu's last sailor was buried in the mouth of the tiger in Lushun City, and then Jiannu had no more sailor.

Melle Zhangjing Tuhai is standing at the head of the south city of Lushun with high spirits commanding the soldiers to attack the city gate hole, it is said that the city gate hole should have been captured long ago, after all, many Ming troops once the city is broken immediately morale rushed, or fled, or surrendered, but the Ming army of Lushun City taught a lesson to the arrogant Jiannu armor soldiers, and the six hundred elite soldiers who had been waiting in the center of the city launched an attack on the south city.

They used the narrow streets and alleys to fight and entangle with the Jiannu soldiers, and the battle situation became anxious for a while.

And this also supported the resistance of more than 100 Ming troops left near the city gate, these soldiers were not under the command of Zhang Pan, knowing that they would be defeated, but they would rather die in battle than survive.

In this way, the vicinity of the south city gate became anxious for a while.

At this moment, the roar of cannons in the bay shook the entire Lushun, and these cannons told the whole city that whether it was the Ming people or the Han army Jiannu, the Ming reinforcements were coming.

Except for the soldiers at the head of the southern city, the others were judged by the density of artillery, how could Jiannu's own little sailor have so many cannons so loud.

Then there is only one guess, the reinforcements of the Ming people have arrived.

At the head of the southern city, Tuhai clearly saw the process of defeating the Jiannu Naval Division cleanly, which made him face a dilemma.

I wanted to open the city gate as soon as possible and enter the ship to avoid the sailors, but the city gate was not down for a while, and more than half of the soldiers did not come in, or they would withdraw from the city and set up a formation to meet the enemy, and then attack the city after repelling the Ming reinforcements.

Tu Hai didn't think about it too brightly, and he made it clear, or withdraw, after all, if he didn't withdraw, he might face a battle on both sides of the city at sea, at least the city could contain more than half of his troops, which would make the three or four thousand soldiers outside the city fight the enemy alone.

He was extremely unwilling to issue an order to retreat, he comforted himself, fortunately, the Ming army in the city is basically exhausted, if there is another time, let the Han army rush ahead, and soon break the city, of course, the premise is to defeat the reinforcements.

The soldiers of the armor and the Han army who were fighting in the streets near the south gate heard the sound of the gong of the retreating troops, and of course they knew that this was the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, so they were happy to withdraw. (To be continued.) )
