On the day of the decisive battle, Shi Lang divided the division into four parts. (If you like this book, please collect biquge.info) There are a total of fifty-six large warships in the middle road, divided into eight teams, each team has seven ships, commanded by Shi Lang himself, as the main force to attack Niang Ma Palace. The right route was commanded by Zhu Tiangui, with a total of 50 warships, and attacked Jilongyu and Sijiaoyu from Dongying, and then joined the central army to attack Zheng's army. The left route was commanded by Lin Xian, and there were also fifty ships, and they planned to attack Niuxin Bay from the inner trench, so that the Zheng army misjudged that the Qing army was going to land here. In addition, Shi Lang also formed a reserve of 80 smaller Canton ships and bird ships, ready to reinforce the Qing army from all walks of life.

After discovering the dynamics of the Qing army, Liu Guoxuan immediately made adjustments, using Jiang Sheng's troops to deal with the Qing army in the middle of the road, Chen Liang's troops to deal with the enemy in the inner trench and the sea, and Qiu Hui and Chen Qiming's two troops to join forces with the Qing army that appeared on the sea surface of Jilongyu and Sijiaoyu, while Liu Guoxuan personally led a large ship as a reserve and reinforced it according to the battle situation in all directions.

Of course, the purpose of the Ming and Zheng sides is very clear, that is, to block most of the Qing army under the cover of the islands forts, first concentrate on eating one wing of the Qing army and then sweep the whole army, under the shape of the enemy and my outnumber, I cannot but say that this strategy is correct.

The battle between the two sides soon began, this day coincided with a typhoon blowing on the sea, Chen Shi (7 o'clock - 9 o'clock) around the influence of the typhoon, the sea was blowing the northwest wind, the Zheng army with the advantage of the tailwind for a while, the Qing army left Li Xianbu and the middle road Shi Lang headquarters for the strength of the Zheng army is not much different from the Zheng army obstructed, simply unable to break through the Zheng army's maritime defense.

There was a dramatic scene on the battlefield on the right, Qiu Hui and Lin Ying, who were the forwards of the Zheng Army's naval division, were their sons and daughters, and Lin Ying and Zhu Tiangui were also sons and daughters, and everyone was an old colleague of Ming Zheng.

Of course, Zhu Tiangui may have meant that he wanted to surrender Qiu Hui on the battlefield, but the hot-tempered Qiu Hui hated this traitor, and immediately gritted his teeth and responded: "Traitor! Those who betray righteousness will not be tolerated! ”

After all, Qiu Hui ordered the helmsman to turn the rudder and fire the cannon, which is also a god, the artillery of this era has always been probabilistic and has never been able to be accurately guided, but this cannon was just right, Zhu Tiangui was caught off guard and was hit in the ribs, and immediately broke his bones and tendons and bled non-stop, and died in the boat after a few breaths.

Zhu Tiangui's death made the Qing army on the right lose its command, while the morale of the Zheng army was greatly boosted, the guns on both sides were exchanged with guns, and the shouts of killing shook Tianyu for a while, and soon the sea was full of burning warships and floating corpses.

By noon, the Qing army had lost more than 30 ships, mainly on the right flank. Just when the balance of victory was tilting towards the Ming and Zheng sides, the typhoon was affected by the equatorial front, and the south wind began to blow on the sea, and the sudden change in wind direction made the Zheng army, which had been fighting with the wind, suddenly fall into a passive situation.

"Kill!" Qiu Hui slashed a Qing soldier hard, kneeling on the deck with a knife and panting, he looked around, only to see that the Zheng warships around him had either sunk or collided with the Qing warships, and the two sides were fighting on the boat. "Come on, the Ruihai leans over." But no one answered his command. "Are they all dead?" Qiu Hui cursed and staggered in the direction of the rudder. "Horses and dogs." Adjutant General Ma Qing had a knife stuck in his chest. "Xie Erniu." Superintendent Xie Chunlin's head and body were already separated. "It's really damn bad"

Qiu Hui still had to find a living mouth, but he didn't think that the hull of the ship would be shocked, he looked up, a Guangzhou ship crashed through the smoky sea, he rubbed his eyes, only to see more than a dozen Qing soldiers jumping over, Qiu Hui laughed: "Okay, good, good, you can still catch two pads on your back when you die, so that you will not be lonely on the Huangquan Road."

With that, he picked up a big spear from the corpse on the side and threw it violently, and the Qing soldiers at the head hurriedly used the weapons in their hands to block, but the powerful spear was not completely put aside, and swept diagonally over his shoulder, taking away a large piece of flesh and blood, and also temporarily losing his combat effectiveness.

The Qing soldiers were still screaming, but Qiu Hui rushed up, the Japanese knife in his hand had already been rolled, and at this moment he used the two firewood axes he picked up casually. The wood axe originally used to cut cables and clean up damaged cabins was not sharp, but it set off a bloody storm in Qiu Hui's hands. The Qing army wanted to use a single knife to fight, but it was smashed with just an axe, and the Qing army wanted to use a gun to pierce it, and Qiu Hui fought for a flesh wound and cut it horizontally. Qiu Hui, who was like a mad tiger, blocked left and right, and quickly killed the Qing army that came over from the springboard. However, the price was also high, one on the thigh, one on the arm, and one on the back, and the blood gushing out of the three wounds made Qiu Hui lose the ability to continue fighting in a dizziness.

At this time, two more Qing ships that came downwind collided with Qiu Hui's ship, but the scene of Qiu Hui's battle just now obviously shocked them, although there were many people, although Qiu Hui seemed to be unable to fight anymore, but still no one was willing to face this brave general who was still fighting.

"Fight one to earn money, fight two to earn one." Qiu Hui felt the tremor of the hull collision, and his consciousness had begun to blur, and he knew that he was cornered, so he muttered. "Lao Tzu has made a lot of money, made a lot of money." As he spoke, he slowly moved to the powder keg at the stern gun, and with one, two, and three feet, the barrel fell under the force, tumbling and spilling a strip of gunpowder. "How can I be like a mother-in-law now?"

Qiu Hui laughed at himself, sat on the deck weakly, and after a long time, he slowly climbed to the side of the burning ship, and laboriously tore off the clothes, igniting the fire, and the clothes soaked in blood were half dry and half wet, and the wet part emitted a bad smell in the flames, but Qiu Hui didn't seem to feel the stench at all.

"The surname of the country, the king, the grandson, and the minister can be regarded as doing their best." With that, Qiu Hui raised his hand, and the clothes with the embers fell on the gunpowder belt, and a brilliant fire instantly rose. "Shi Bald (Note: Shi Lang once shaved his head in Zhu Chenggong's army to express his dissatisfaction, so Zheng Jun laughed at him with baldness), the master is waiting for you underground"

Just when Qiu Hui ** died, Shi Langzheng ordered the bird boat of the reserve team to go down the wind as an arson boat and burn the Zheng army brigade. Almost suddenly, the black smoke on the sea was billowing and the flames were soaring, and Zheng Jun, who was jumping into the gang to fight, was caught off guard, and more than a dozen large ships caught fire one after another, and the soldiers on board were either burned to death or forced to fall into the sea and drown. Seeing such a scene, the morale of the officers and soldiers of Zheng who were in a bitter battle became more and more depressed. However, at this time, a scene that made matters worse appeared, Jiang Sheng's battleship was surrounded by more than ten Qing warships, and after a full battle, Jiang Sheng was killed on the spot, and the handsome flag was also torn off and stepped on the feet of the Qing army.

Although Liu Guoxuan, who discovered the danger, soon rushed to take over the main force in the middle, only a quarter of an hour was enough to change the situation of the battle, and the defeat was irretrievable. At this time, Shi Lang ordered to chase after the remaining ships of the Zheng army in the spirit of chasing the poor and not being famous and learning overlords, and the ships of the Zheng army were divided and surrounded by the Qing army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, and was forced to fall into the situation of fighting on their own.

When it came to Shen, Chen Liang, who saw that the situation was not good, took the lead in escaping, and the Qing army under Lin Xian's department was able to join the main force in the middle road, so that the Zheng army was completely out of luck. However, the soldiers of the Zheng army are still fighting hard with the attitude of unwilling to obey the people for the Tatars, and countless good men are fighting to the death, killing the Qing army's guerrilla Zhao Bang test, shooting and wounding the general Qing army Lin Xian and Wu Ying, in short, under the Zheng army's struggle, the Qing army can not immediately turn the advantage into victory.

More than half of the Shen time, Chen Qiming, the chief soldier of the naval division, Wang Long, the general of the town in the middle of the building, and Zeng Rui, the general of the ninth town of the naval division, were killed in battle, and the rout of the Zheng army began to change from quantitative to qualitative, and then there were Huang Xueling, the chief soldier of the former town of the water division, Chen Zheng, the general of the three towns of the water division, Zheng Ren, the general of the right town, Huang Lian, the general of the guard town, Liu Ming, the general of the Houjin town, Hong Bangzhu, the middle commander of the left town, You Jun of the right town of the middle commander, and Yang Wenbing, the middle commander of the rear town, and other 47 generals and above were killed on the spot

Seeing that a qiē was irretrievable, Liu Guoxuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, he gathered the only dozen warships around him in a panic to leave the battlefield, and fled straight to Dongning from the Roaring Gate Waterway, with his escape, the organized resistance ended, except for some of the Zheng soldiers who were still resisting, the Battle of Penghu came to an end.

The results of the naval battle came out, and the defenders of the Penghu islands, which had become the turtle in the urn, surrendered one after another, so far, less than 10 days after leaving the battle, the Zheng army lost more than 370 people, more than 15,000 soldiers, and more than 10,000 officers and men were killed or wounded in the battle except for a very few, and more than 10,000 officers and men were surrendered or captured, and the loss of ordnance and baggage was even more incalculable, and the price paid by the Qing army was only more than 100 ships of various types, and more than 8,000 people were killed and wounded in battle

After conquering Penghu, Shi Lang on the one hand collected the surrendered army and treated the wounded, on the other hand, he immediately issued the famous "Flying Report to the Great Victory" to Kangxi in Beijing, and because it led to a pen and ink lawsuit that was accused by the world of revenge (note: referring to grabbing merit with Yao Qisheng).

Emperor Kangxi in Beijing got Shi Lang's victory, and the dragon's heart was happy, and immediately the poem Xingda played his pen to write a poem of the seven laws of "Mid-Autumn Festival Day Hearing the Sea Jieyin", and its poem cloud: "Thousands of miles of Fusang early hexagram bow, the water rhino army refers to the island door empty." Coming to the court is not for cultivating virtue, and Rouyuan is not a martial artist at the beginning. The tooth tent is subject to the autumn color, and the feather forest plays the bright moon. The corner of the sea has long been thinking of the common people and being sleepy, and the ploughing and chiseling are the same as the nine sites from now on. ”

In the eyes of Kangxi and Shi Lang, the victory in the Battle of Penghu made Ming Zheng lose the last ability to resist, and Dongning was already like a girl who had stripped off her clothes waiting for them to humiliate and trample, but will it be like this? No, Zheng Kezhang hasn't succumbed yet, and the real ** of this big war hasn't come yet
