On the sea off Beacon Hill, it was calm just now, but now there are gunshots.

A full one or two hundred fireships lit fires one after another, and rushed towards the Ming anchorage.

Because the arsonists had to evacuate in advance and could not adjust their course, the dead men on the fireboat knew that it was almost impossible to hit a moving enemy ship.

It can only be gambled that the military discipline of the Ming army is corrupt, the sleeping at night is too dead, and the ship in the berthing state is slow to lift the anchor in an emergency, so as to ensure that the fireship rushes to the front and has no time to dodge.

Since ancient times, the use of fireships has had very large limitations.

Unless it's against Cao Cao's clumsy chain of ships, or a bunch of parked ships in the harbor, it can work wonders. And if you want to hit a big ship in a sailing state, it is simply as difficult as heaven.

In the Battle of Liaoluo Bay nine years ago, Zheng Zhilong burned and sank two Dutch heavy Galen warships in sail and burned several ships.

But that time was a special case, Zheng Zhilong laid a net of heaven and earth, ambushed hundreds of arson ships, and dealt with less than ten large warships against the Dutch, surrounded them in all directions, so that the Dutch could not hide.

It's a pity that this time, Kong Youde obviously underestimated the reaction speed of the elite sailors of the Shen family and the dispatch ability of the pirate officers under Zheng Chenggong's command.

Now that there is an advance warning of the gunshots, the reaction time for the last two miles is enough.

When the fireships rushed in front of them, most of the warships that were docked had already left their berths. Even if you don't have time to fully operate the sail for the time being, you have to start quickly with a temporary hard paddling as auxiliary power.

Although there are still a few ships that are blocked in the inner berths and burned due to the congestion of the shipping lane, they have not harmed the overall situation.

Anyway, it was close to the port, and the soldiers could immediately flee back to the shore to avoid casualties, and the ship would burn out if it burned out slightly, and it could be repaired in the future.

If the ship is lost, the people and ships are lost, and the people and ships are lost, and the people and ships are saved.

On the side of the Ming army, the only unavoidable major loss was nothing more than the wooden trestle bridge on the wharf, all of which were completely burned down, and the port facilities were seriously damaged. These fixtures can't run, and the fireship can only watch as it crashes into it.

After this battle, either it will be repaired urgently, or it will be withdrawn from the ship later, and the only way to ferry it is to use a small sampan.

Considering that Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong are not too afraid of Azig attacking Shuizhai in a short period of time, they are not bad at loading and unloading speed.

The counterattack of the Ming army was also very fast, Zheng Chenggong immediately commanded the warships that had just set sail to pay attention to the search and kill the small sampans on the sea, stared at the retreating arsonists and shot arrows, and those who were close directly collided with the small sampan and sank.

All of a sudden, the wailing of the sea began to rise.

At least dozens of small sampans used to retreat and set fire to the dead soldiers were surrounded and killed by the Ming army's sailors, and hundreds of people were instantly shot and wounded, shot and fell into the sea, and the speed of this loss is still increasing at a very fast rate.

The big ship, the main force of Kong Youde's rear army in the distance, has not yet arrived at the battlefield at the moment, and this kind of battle between big ships and small boats is, of course, a one-sided crush.

It's like an assassin with only one blow, who wants to assassinate a powerful general, and after missing a blow, he can only be slaughtered unilaterally.

On the battlefield of the former army, the only variable factor is only the thirty medium-sized North Korean clippers.

……

It's a pity that at the same time that Kong Youde cursed the North Korean general "Li Yue" for being incompetent and hoped that "Li Yue" could help him pick up some more dead soldiers from fireships.

In front of the battlefield, on one of the largest shuttle-shaped board houses, North Korean general Li Yu was acting and passively slacking off.

"Continue to carry out the plan that was secretly agreed before the war! Charge me to the Ming Army! Each ship adapts on its own! Pretend to be heroic! ”

"When you encounter a big ship of the Ming army, you will continue to shoot your guns into the sky! The Ming army should be able to see that we are not a threat and will not deliberately oppose us. Have all of your hands hide behind the cover of the board house, and don't need to go out and aim without probes.

As long as it is not attacked by the Hongyi cannons, our Banwu ship can block all other bows and crossbows. If the big ship of the Ming army has to come up and jump into the gang, let the Han speakers shout in unison to surrender, indicating that we are Koreans! ”

The reason why this North Korean general named Li Yu was mistaken for "Li Yue" by Kong Youde and other Qing army generals has to start with a little bit of a public eucalyptus two years ago.

Li Yu is the concubine of Li Shibai, the current soldier of North Korea, and is also a distant relative of the side branch of the Li royal family of North Korea.

After the Chongzhen Rebellion in the tenth year, Joseon changed to submit to the Qing State. After another three years, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing State asked Joseon to send Wang Shizi and the concubine of the Sixth Cao Gongqing to Shengjing as hostages.

Everything in the official system of North Korea is like that of the Ming Dynasty, but because Korea is a kingdom rather than an empire, it is not qualified to set up "six departments", and the corresponding institutions must be downgraded by one level, called "six Cao".

North Korea's Bing Cao Judgment is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's military department book.

Therefore, Li Shibai is also a high-level minister in North Korea. A few years later in history, he also became the "leader of the council", which is equivalent to the "first assistant of the cabinet" of the Ming Dynasty.

But now the Li family has fallen into a lot of trouble:

When the Qing State asked to send hostages two years ago, the Li family should have sent their sister-in-law Li Yue over. But Li Shibai's wife, Yin, is very strong, and she dotes on her own son very much, and she does not allow her husband to send any of her sisters-in-law as hostages.

Li Shibai was helpless, and finally remembered that his concubine Li Yu and his brother Li Yue were very similar in appearance, and Li Yu's mother was from a humble background and was dead, so no one in her mother's family made trouble. Li Shibai asked Li Yu to pretend to be Li Yue as a hostage.

Originally, it had been two years since this happened, and Li Yu did not miss any flaws in the Qing Kingdom. But his brother Li Yue, who escaped the fate of the hostages, did not stop in North Korea.

Because Li Yue wants to live as Li Yu, he has lost the prestige of his former son-in-law, and he has no face when he goes out to socialize with others. For the sake of his own decency, this guy didn't know how to leak his mouth and say that he was the real Li Yue, and he shook his majesty in Seoul, and then he was heard by the Qing spies in some channels.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Li Shibai's family is also about to fall into trouble because of this. Historically, this eucalyptus will break out this year, and then Li Shibai will be dismissed from his post by the Korean king Yi Ju and exiled to Tonsan, Chungcheong-do, and then Shangguo will plead guilty to Qingguo on the issue of stealing protons.

It will be two years before the limelight has passed, and Li Shibai will be secretly used by King Li Qi again.

As for the fake proton Li Yu, the fate is even worse.

Historically, because Li Yu was the proton of the Korean soldier Cao Judging, he could help the Qing State command the reinforcements sent by the North Korean Bird Gun Team during the Qing Dynasty (but the Manchu Qing Dynasty will send senior generals to supervise, and Li Yu needs to listen to the command of Zilharang), has been staying in the Jinzhou Siege Battlefield for two years, and has no chance to escape, and finally the eucalyptus hair was directly taken down by the Qing people for questioning.

Now, because of the butterfly effect of Shen Shuren and Zheng Chenggong, Li Yu caught an opportunity to follow Kong Youde to the sea to fight, which made him realize the God-given opportunity last night-

His father had already given him a secret letter a while ago, and he burned it after reading it, and the letter said that his third brother was out of tune, talking nonsense in Seoul, which seemed to be making a big fuss, and asked him to be careful on the side of Qingguo.

In this case, now that there is an opportunity to surrender directly, then pretend that you and your subordinates are all dead! There is no proof of death! No one can prove whether he is Li Yu or Li Yue.

As for the third brother, let him live with his identity for the rest of his life! Let him be reduced to the point where he can only enjoy the treatment of a concubine for the rest of his life! This is also the retribution for his arrogant and indulging words!

Kong Youde didn't pay attention to this, and he couldn't blame Kong Youde for his low IQ, but he really didn't know that there were so many insiders in it.

In the past two years, Li Yu has always been diligent in helping Jilharang besiege Jinzhou, and the Korean bird team under his command has also worked hard every time he encounters Jilharang and asks them to provide fire cover for the troops who ascend the city.

Who would have thought that the exemplary troops who have behaved submissively in the past two years would suddenly have such an undercurrent surging in the mainland?

Kong Youde himself felt that it was very honorable to be a traitor, and he felt that the troops who came from North Korea to surrender to the Qing Dynasty should also be proud to be a traitor.

……

Zheng Chenggong's troops, of course, would not realize that the generals of the North Korean Bird Gun Force in front of them still had so many twists and turns.

However, as the battle continued a little longer, they also saw an anomaly in the combat performance of this strange North Korean fleet. (The subject country of the ship can be seen at a glance, because the appearance of the Korean ship is different from the ship of the Ming and Qing dynasties.)

First of all, as long as the bird gunners on this fleet approached the Ming warships, almost no one would show their heads at the portholes, and they would only stick out the barrels of their guns diagonally and shoot into the sky.

Secondly, after observing for a while, the soldiers of the Ming army found that many sampans loaded with the dead soldiers of the Qing army ships that had fled far away were actually shot by the birds on the North Korean ships when they tried to get close to these North Korean ships to ask for answers-

Of course, if these North Korean ships are also very close to the Ming military ships, then for their own safety, they will not take aim at them. But if it was a little far away from the Ming military ships and there were only fireships and dead sampans nearby, they would have the audacity to show their heads and aim.

This point, the screams from afar can prove that many Kong Youde henchmen were killed when they were far away from the Ming army and far from being caught up, and they were suddenly killed and screamed.

After some temptation, Zheng Chenggong finally figured out a little taste, and instructed his subordinates to try to jump up to help catch the work.

The North Koreans did not resist, and several boats were empty with shouts of killing, and then the flags were changed and new fires were lit.

In the darkness, just by watching the rhythm of the torches waving on the roof of the cabin, friendly forces in the distance could confirm that the ships had been captured.

Zheng Chenggong was very determined, so he went on the field in person steadily, took a flagship with a Hongyi cannon, and directly forced the largest ship in the North Korean fleet, and then pulled the ship with hooks and other objects, and a group of pirate-born Zheng family elites immediately jumped up.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong himself is the son of a daughter, and he will not personally board the ship before he has completely understood the situation between the enemy and the enemy.

However, he was also cautious, and while letting the Zheng family members jump into the gang, he also mixed a few Shen family members in the team - these Shen family members were all asked by Zheng Chenggong temporarily, carefully selected, and they had followed Shen Tingyang to escort North Korean trade for many years and could speak Korean.

The Zheng family is only the king of the East China Sea and the king of the South China Sea, and the fortune ship is not suitable for North Korean trade, so the trade between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea has been monopolized by the Shen family over the years, and there is a deep talent reserve in this regard, and foreign languages are of course not a problem.

Soon, the soldiers of the Ming army, led by the translator of the Shen family, Ding, flocked to board Li Yu's boat, preparing to capture all of them.
