The warships on both sides have been completely entangled together, a scene of shouting and killing the sky, there are cannons, guns and screams everywhere, several sounds are intertwined to make people's blood boil, of course, there are some timid people, frightened, and relatives.

More than 100 warships on the sea were entangled, some catching and fighting, and some of them coordinated to attack the enemy's warship. There is also a large ship like Wang Zhenbang's own ship, which accelerates and rushes straight forward, directly hitting the enemy ship. In this way, the big ships took advantage of their advantages and rampage in the formation, trying to smash some small boats, and the small ships also had the advantage of small ships, relying on their agility and speed, scurrying around, and staring at one, they came to shoot and then turned around and ran. When ships of about the same size meet together, most of them approach directly after the bombardment, greeted by fire bricks and rockets, and then directly board the ship for hand-to-hand combat.

Many of the warships were on fire, and the billowing smoke was accompanied by flakes of gunsmoke, which reduced the visibility of the entire sea surface considerably.

"Commander Wang, look, our warship!"

With a loud bang, a thick cloud of gunpowder rose from a Haicang ship not far from Wang Zhenbang's ship, and a violent explosion occurred, and the explosion shook people's ears. As soon as Wang Zhenbang turned around, he saw the wooden planks and various parts that had been blown up into the sky falling from the sky, and the dark smoke continued to billowing upward.

"What's going on?" Wang Zhenbang immediately raised his head and asked the soldiers on the mast loudly.

"My lord! It was the enemy ship that hit the jet cabinet on the Haicang ship, which in turn detonated the powder keg on the ship! The brothers above are finished, and the hull of the ship is starting to crumble! The soldier above reported with a crying voice.

Wang Zhenbang was also shocked in his heart, he had just destroyed a big ship, and his brother was retaliated against. The Haicang ship is the third fortune ship after the second fortune ship. Although it is a little smaller than the No. 2 Fu ship, it can be regarded as the main battleship, and it will be blown up and shattered in one fell swoop, and it can't be repaired! This battle is still not optimistic!

But no matter what happened around him, he could only take care of his ship at this time, continue to fire around it, and at the same time use his huge hull to rampage and destroy the smaller enemy ships. Many ships have already begun hand-to-hand combat, and this melee is now about the morale of the fighters and the skill of handling the ship.

After fighting for so long, the war has reached a stalemate. Shimazu Hisao also realized that he couldn't please him, this is the mouth of the Min River, the territory of the Geng family in Fujian, not their home field, even in the vast sea, the situation will be much better than here. Just when he was entangled, several more shells flew from the enemy ship next to him, and the shells directly hit his ship, which was already scarred, and the bow of the warship was hit by two shells, a hole was smashed on the side of the ship, and some scattered missiles were killed.

The "pirates" on Shimazu Hisao's ship did not stop, and fought back without fear of death. The closer the ships became, the more intense the confrontation became, and at all times, the soldiers were worried that some bullets or arrows would be fired nearby, which kept people's nerves high. Another cannonball flew from somewhere, and with a clatter, it hit the rear bow of Shimazu Hisao's ship, smashing a large hole in the deck on the rear bow, and the shell went directly into the cabin, causing a scream from inside. The flying sawdust also startled everyone on the boat to dodge quickly. Even so, the scattered sawdust scratched several of his subordinates and caused some damage.

This damn unlucky place, the naval battle can be fought like this, it has become a woman fighting, and where is the shadow of the army. Many warships caught fire, the fire was big and small, and their losses were already big enough, and they couldn't continue like this, otherwise even if they won, they would lose both, and they wouldn't have a few warships left.

And Wang Zhenbang's side is also about to reach the limit, the narrow sea surface of the Minjiang River estuary limits the strength of both sides, and the naval battle so close is very painful for both sides. But the will of the soldier and the belief in protecting his family and defending the land made him have to grit his teeth and insist, he could not retreat, he must fight to the death, otherwise he is really sorry for the trust of tens of thousands of soldiers in him.

Nearly two hours have passed since Shimazu Hisao entered the Minjiang River estuary to bombard the Monkey Island Commercial Port, and looking at the sky, it is estimated that it is already five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Today's weather is not good, it is a cloudy day, the sky is dark, and it will be dark in another hour at most. The form on the battlefield is becoming more and more unfavorable for them, and if they can't get out of the battlefield quickly, it is estimated that they will all have to stay here!

"Order, all ships turn to the east and break through quickly!" Shimazu Hisao finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and gave the order.

The order was given, and the flag commander quickly conveyed the order to all sides. At the same time, several soldiers also carried out something like a bell and struck it back and forth at a very fast speed, making a "Ding Ding Ding Ding!" The voice, sharp and loud, this is the legendary Mingjin retreat!

When the "pirate ship" close to Shimazu Hisao saw the flag order, it immediately turned around and headed east, and those that did not need to turn around quickly drove forward. Most of the ships were farther away, and there was gunsmoke blocking them, so they couldn't see the flag order, so they reacted much slower. Then the rapid sound of gold made them learn of the news of the flagship, and they also began to break through to the east. While the other warships broke through, they also began to sing gold, in case the warships in the distance could not hear and receive orders.

In fact, in the naval warfare of this era, after a round of artillery bombardment, the entire fleet would rise in a thick smoke of gunpowder, and sometimes the smoke from the flames would make the entire battlefield visible. Therefore, when fighting on the sea, it is generally in a line, so that the greatest advantage is that the flagship commander can make correct judgments and direct the course of the fleet. The commanders of the other ships did not have to worry about the others, and just followed the collective fire.

Today, the naval battle between Wang Zhenbang and Shimazu Hisao is obviously a melee, and it is also in this narrow Minjiang River estuary, more than 100 warships make this small area crowded, and the warships have almost no room for detours. The smoke of gunpowder on the surface of the sea and the billowing smoke from the ships made it impossible for the commanders of both sides to contact the ships outside the ship, so this primitive Ming Jin turned out to be a good idea. If the message cannot be conveyed, then the result can be imagined, unless one of the fleets is completely defeated or annihilated, the naval battle will not end, and it will have to be fought until exhaustion determines the winner.

But the battle is so stalemate, it's not like you quit if you want to. There were several ships that were engaged in this tragic hand-to-hand combat, some of which were "pirates" who had the upper hand, and others who had the upper hand of the Mawei navy. After the sound of gold, the "pirates" no longer had the heart to fight, and retreated one after another, wanting to retreat to their own ships, but the naval soldiers did not give up this opportunity and took advantage of the situation to chase and kill.

At this time, almost every warship was slightly or seriously injured, especially some second-class warships, which were the most tragic, and it could be said that they were covered in bruises and scars. The speed of these ships was thus affected to a greater or lesser extent.

"They're going to run!"

Wang Zhenbang, who had not dared to slack off and was engrossed in observing the battle situation, saw the movements of the "pirate ships" turning around one after another in the telescope, and the enemy ships around them also headed east. Glancing at the sea battlefield, the losses of the Mawei Navy were not small, and basically there was no ability to pursue, so he did not give the order to pursue the whole army. But not chasing all of them doesn't mean that they just let the other party go.

"Order, let the enemy ships in the east let them go, and not a single enemy ship in the west should be spared. Close! ”

At this time, the "pirate ship" in the east had basically left the battlefield, but the way out was blocked by the naval fleet that had run inside. After receiving the order, the Mawei Navy immediately began to encircle. The ships in the eastern range did not pursue the enemy ships that had escaped, but turned around and blocked the way out of the enemy ships to the west. The first was Wang Zhenbang's No. 2 Fu ship, which led other high-spirited Haicang ships and other warships to the west.

"Tom tom!"

Wang Zhenbang's No. 2 Fu boat was the first to fire, relying on its huge hull, condescendingly, firing cannonballs at the surrounding enemy ships. Most of the hot shells fell on the enemy ships, and a few fell into the sea, stirring up columns of water, rolling waves, and splashing seawater.

There were nearly twenty enemy ships that did not run away, only two larger warships, which were comparable to the No. 3 Fuchuan Haicang Ship, and the others were basically small warships of about 20 meters. The encirclement has been completed, and the 60 warships of the Mawei Navy are besieging the remaining dozen or so "pirate ships", and the huge numerical superiority has made the "pirates" almost powerless to fight back. Several of the smaller ships were quickly broken masts, rendering them incapable of steering and evasive.

"My lord, the enemy ship has surrendered!"

Wang Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, he was still directing the battleship to deal with the enemy ship on the right, and suddenly heard the sentry on the mast shouting. When he turned his head, he saw that one of the enemy ships lowered the pirate flag and raised the white flag in surrender. Then, most of the other "corsairs" did the same, raising their white flags and surrendering, leaving only a few ships still stubbornly resisting, rushing left and right, trying to break out.

Wang Zhenbang weighed the pros and cons of continuing the battle, and finally ordered: "Let the sails with the white flag drop anchor and stop the ship immediately, otherwise they will be sunk!" There is no white flag erected over there, concentrate your firepower and hit me hard! ”

In the current situation, the "pirates" have fewer enemies and more enemies, and in the face of the absolute difference in strength, the result of resistance can only be death. Not every one of them possessed the cruel spirit of bushido, and besides, it was not long before the Edo period began, and the spirit of bushido had not yet prevailed.

Soon, the two enemy ships, which had not raised the white flag, were wrecked and sunk in a spray. The other ships lowered their sails and anchored on the spot. Then, Wang Zhenbang demanded that all the "pirates" gather on the deck, close all the gun doors, and do the same.

So Wang Zhenbang sent a small boat with dozens of naval soldiers on board the "pirate ship" first to ensure that they did not fake surrender and took the opportunity to open fire. In the end, the Mawei Navy sailed out an equal number of warships and approached to take over the "pirate ships".
