In this battle, Ma Xiao led the team to fight in Nanri Water Village until it was dark, and then ordered to collect troops and return home, but at this time when he saw Nanri Water Village, it became a sea of fire, not only the ships on the dock were ignited, but even some wooden barracks in the water village on the shore were also burned by the fire.

When it was dark, only four or five of the more than 50 warships assembled in Nanri Shuizhai were left unkilled by the sea wolves and fled into the interior of Meizhou Bay, while the rest were either seriously injured and stranded on the shore, or simply burned to the ground, or were directly broken apart and sunk into the sea.

In the sea water for more than 10 miles outside the entire Nanri Water Village, there are broken ship plank fragments floating everywhere, and there are also some corpses of officers and soldiers, and some officers and soldiers who have jumped into the water to escape, struggling to swim to the beach in the icy water.

Some officers and soldiers knelt on the shore and covered their faces and wailed, for a time there was a mournful sound on the shore, after Liu Yinglong was rescued ashore by his subordinates, he was escorted to the water village, gathered a group of remnants of the defeated generals, prepared to defend the water village, and sent people to Puxi City to ask Zhang Jiace for help, for fear that the sea wolf troops would destroy the official fleet and then forcibly land and occupy the water village in Nanri Water Village.

But Zhang Jiace was in Puxi City at this time, but he was also beaten by several sea wolf warships on the sea outside the city, these sea wolf ships seemed to have endless shells, and they took turns in an afternoon, constantly firing artillery at Puxi City, the intensity was slow and urgent, but the shelling never stopped.

The shells kept falling in the city, although the damage to the city of Puxi was not very large, but it was a very serious blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers.

The two Hongyi cannons on Puxi City also carried out continuous counterattacks under the operation of the official army, but He Nai's soldiers who operated the cannons had limited ability and were never able to hit the thief ship, but it became a joke for the sea wolf troops.

When two cannons hit more than a dozen cannons, the cannon body becomes hot and hot, and it is necessary to stop and wait for the cannon body to cool down, otherwise once the gunpowder is loaded, it may explode or be accidentally ignited, causing an accident.

As for the old cannons in the city, the sea wolf's warships always hovered hundreds of meters away from the sea outside the city, and they didn't give them a chance to fight back at all, which was no different from being beaten on horseback.

The most feared thing about being a soldier is to be beaten by others, but he can't fight back, it's okay for a while, but once the time is long, the morale of the soldier will plummet, and when Liu Yinglong came to ask for help, the morale of the officers and soldiers of Puxi City has already fallen into the crotch of his pants, where is there still the ability to reinforce Nanri Water Village!

Zhang Jiace was still on the city wall at the beginning and insisted on commanding, but later the sea wolf's shells almost hit him several times, and sent him to the west to learn the scriptures, and his own soldiers and subordinate generals dragged him off the city wall, Zhang Jiace pretended to insist, but pretended to be helpless to be pulled off the city wall, and avoided a safe place in the city, and the officers and soldiers in the city passed the situation of the sea wolf fleet outside the city to him, and he sat in the city to command.

But the cannons outside the city kept ringing again, and the cannonballs kept falling into the city, but these thief ships never approached the coast, nor did they make a gesture to force the shore, Zhang Jiace gradually understood the sea wolf's thoughts.

The sea wolves didn't come to their Puxi City at all this time, let alone attack Puxi City, their main targets were concentrated in Nanri Water Village, and these few thief ships that shelled Puxi City were simply holding him back, making him powerless to rescue Nanri Water Village.

After thinking about this, Zhang Jiace was not too nervous, but he felt worried about the Nanri Water Village, so he hurriedly went up to the city and looked towards the Nanri Water Village.

And at this time, Nanri Water Village has been on fire, and the fight is inseparable, and you can see a fire in Nanri Water Village from a distance, and many boats are also smoking on the sea, so he understands that Nanri Water Village is over.

As long as they destroy the naval warships assembled in Nanri Shuizhai, then the next expedition organized by the governor is equivalent to losing half of it, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhu Qinxiang to gather so many warships to launch an offensive against Nanri Island.

And today they have also thoroughly seen the power of the pirates on Nanri Island, this group of pirates is indeed as rumored to say, with a batch of Hongyi cannons that they can't imagine, and the number is so large that it exceeds all their expectations, and today the sea wolf only has more than 30 ships, loaded with more than 100 Western cannons of all kinds, he can't imagine how many such cannons the sea wolf has, if the sea wolf has more such Western cannons, then with the current strength of the official army, it is simply impossible to deal with it.

Therefore, the next attack on the sea wolf is estimated to be stillborn because of this, and no matter how angry Zhu Qinxiang is, I am afraid that he will not dare to attack the sea wolf easily.

Moreover, if the official army suffers such a heavy setback today, I am afraid that many officials will immediately launch an impeachment against Zhu Qinxiang, and the newly appointed governor estimates that he may not even be able to keep the position of this governor......

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiace turned around and went down the city wall, he knew that the purpose of the sea wolf had been achieved, and the sea wolf would probably not land and raid again, such a result, he himself didn't know whether Lu Dao should be happy or sad.

But there is one thing he knows very well, this time the Nanri Water Village was attacked, the city of Puxi was shelled, and the fleet of sailors gathered here was completely wiped out, in addition to Zhu Qinxiang to take responsibility, he, the main general sitting here, may not be able to escape the blame, next, what he has to care about is not how to save the Nanri Water Village, but to think about how to shirk the responsibility for this matter and let others take responsibility, so as not to let him follow the bad luck and lose his official resignation.

At the same time that Ma Xiao led his team to attack Nanri Water Village, another fleet had already left Nanri Island and sailed down the wind towards Quanzhou Mansion.

This fleet was led by Liu Yidao, and the size of the fleet was similar to that of the fleet led by Ma Xiao, but the situation of the ships was weaker than that led by Ma Xiao.

This fleet is mainly composed of medium-sized and light warships in the various fleets of the sea wolves, and the number is about more than thirty, although the strength of the fleet led by Ma Xiao is slightly weaker, but looking at the pirate groups in Fujian, the strength of their fleet is still not to be underestimated.

This time, the sea wolf's preemptive attack was a series of methods, and it was not as simple as attacking a place in Nanri Water Village.

In addition to attacking Nanri Water Village and destroying the Fujian Navy warships gathered there, Yu Xiaotian also sent two other fleets, one of which was led by Liu Yidao, to attack the Chongwu Institute of Quanzhou Prefecture, which was the ancient city of Chongwu left by later generations.

According to Zhu Qinxiang's arrangement, a large number of merchant ships were sealed in Zhangquan and other places recently, and the merchant ships were concentrated in the port outside the city of Chongwu Qianhusuo, and in the near future they were preparing to send ships to Pinghaiwei and Puxi, and the officers and soldiers assembled there were loaded and followed by the naval fleet to attack Nanri Island.

Zhu Qinxiang knew very well that it was difficult to guarantee that a large number of officers and soldiers would be transported to Nanri Island at one time only by the number of warships of the Fujian Navy Division, so according to the habit of the government in the past, it became a realistic choice to temporarily recruit merchant ships to participate in the war, so he ordered Zhangquan and other places to seal up merchant ships, forcibly recruit them, and assemble them to help the official army attack Nanri Island.

Before the sea wolf started, according to the detailed line report, the port of Chongwusuo in Quanzhou had gathered more than 60 merchant ships of various kinds, most of which were large ships of more than 300 materials, and each ship could carry more than 200 officers and soldiers at most if only considering the transportation of troops, so that these ships could transport all the officers and troops gathered in Pinghaiwei and Puxi to Nanri Island to land at one time.

Of course, this capacity also had to ensure the transportation of a lot of materials, such as the newly cast Hongyi cannons, grain, ammunition, arrows, and siege equipment they mobilized, so the government requisitioned so many merchant ships to participate in the war.

The merchants were certainly not willing to do things for the government, because they made a living by going to the sea to do business, and after the ships were forcibly requisitioned, they had to be delayed for a long time, not to mention, and once the war broke out, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no losses.

And the government has always only been in charge of recruitment, but once the loss is caused, it will never be responsible for compensating for their losses, so under normal circumstances, the maritime merchants will not be willing to do this kind of thing, not to mention that they also know the power of the sea wolf now, once the sea wolf knows that they help the government to enter Nanri Island, if the government can destroy the sea wolf, it is okay to say, but if the government can't win, then let the sea wolf know the way, and if you don't get it back, you will find them to retaliate.

But they were no longer willing to do so, and the government sent officers and soldiers to the port to forcibly seal their ships, and they had no choice but to be escorted to the assembly place to wait for the government's dispatch.

The government chose Chongwusu as the assembly place for merchant ships, and did not directly let them go to Pingwan Bay to assemble, because there were not many ports there, and the water village facilities were dilapidated, which was not enough to support the gathering of so many ships to dock at once, and replenish food and fresh water, so Chongwusu was used as a gathering point for merchant ships.

Chongwusu is not too far from Puxi City and Pinghaiwei, once necessary, in one day, the merchant ships here can sail to Pinghai Bay and begin to load officers and soldiers, and in three days at most, they can set off to Nanri Island to participate in the war.

But these actions all fell on the ears and eyes of the sea wolf without exception, since Yu Xiaotian wanted to knock Zhu Qinxiang, then naturally he would not let go of these assembled merchant ships, so the assembly point of the merchant ships of Chongwu Institute also became the target of their attack.

Just when Ma Xiao led the team to Nanri Water Village, Liu Yidao led another fleet and sailed away from Nanri Island and went straight to Chongwu.

However, Liu Yidao's fleet did not travel cautiously like Ma Xiao's fleet, but after setting off from Nanri Island, it bypassed the sea east of Nanri Island, avoided the surveillance of the officials and soldiers of the Nanri Waterway, and sailed directly to Chongwusu.

At this time, it was the time when the north wind was blowing on the sea, and the fleet was basically downwind to the south, so the speed of the fleet was relatively fast, although it encountered some merchant ships or sentinel ships of the official army along the way, but after seeing the fleet of sea wolves, these ships hurriedly avoided it.

And Liu Yidao led the fleet swaggering towards the direction of Quanzhou, like an armed parade swaggering through the city, some ships encountered along the way, they were too lazy to take care of them, just sailed all the way, after a day and a night of sailing, at noon the next day, they arrived at the sea of Chongwusuo.
