"Why are these red-haired ghosts' cannons so fierce?" On another rushing boat, a Qing soldier general looked at the Ming warship looming under the white smoke in the distance, and his eyes were red.

Fighting against him was a Ming army's tiger warship, with four tiger heavy cannons on the right side of the hull, and two red-clothed cannons were fiercely bombarded against the Qing warship, and the four bronze cannons on the Qing warship were powerless.

Since the battle with the Qiongzhou Naval Division, the Ming officers and soldiers also seem to have realized that the quantity and quality of the artillery equipped by the Qing Army's naval division are far inferior to the red-coated cannons and tiger cannons equipped on the Ming warships.

Therefore, the Tiger Warrior deliberately widened the distance between it and the main warship of the Qing Army, and pressed the Qing Warship with a long range of a ten-pound Tiger Cannon and a twelve-pound red-coated cannon.

Although the accuracy of this has decreased significantly, and the consumption of ammunition has increased dramatically, the benefits are obvious, at least by this time the Qing army has not hit a single shell on the Ming warship.

At the same time that the Ming army's tiger warship was dragging the Qing army's warship, a Ming army's big bird ship was quietly approaching in the rear.

Several Qing army clippers also seemed to have spotted the approaching big bird boat and fired at the bird boat one after another.

It's a pity that these Qing fast ships are small, and they are only equipped with some large birds.

For this three-masted big bird ship, it's a tickle.

Soon, the four three-pounder guns on the ship turned their muzzles, and they were suppressed by a burst of artillery fire on several Qing speedboats.

It has to be said that imitating the small-caliber rotary guns on the Spanish battleships does have a strong suppressive effect on small ships like clippers.

With high accuracy and fast rate of fire, one Qing speedboat was quickly capsized, leaving two clippers, and more than half of the sailors and officers on board were also killed or wounded.

At that time, the gunners on the Qing army rushed to the boat, and at this time they also found the big bird boat that was getting closer and closer to them.

Only now, they don't have the extra energy to deal with this big bird ship.

One after another, ten pounds, twelve pounds of lead bullets whistled, shaking the eardrums of the Qing soldiers.

The officers and soldiers also tried to escape, but the white sail on the main mast was torn by the chain bullets of the Ming army.

"Put!"

With the order of the gun commander, on the two decks on the right side of the big bird ship, a ten-pounder Tiger cannon and three six-pounder Hayabusa guns opened fire together.

I saw a thunderous sound, followed by a shaking of the hull of the Qing warship, and the hull gradually cracked.

The four artillery pieces of the Ming army directly hit three bullets.

The Qing warships, which could no longer bear it, gradually began to tilt, and the gunners on the deck dropped their guns and jumped into the sea one after another.

At this moment, several smaller ships and clippers in the rear were also hunted by several large bird boats of the Ming army.

In just half an hour, this encounter in the Qiongzhou Strait ended.

The warships of the Leizhou Zuoying Naval Division were completely annihilated, and more than 200 Qing officers and soldiers were killed and drowned, and more than one was captured.

Looking at the Qing army captives who were rescued by the Ming army's eagle boats, Miao Qian sighed with emotion.

"Compared with the original Fujian sailors, these Qing army green battalion sailors in Guangdong are much weaker." Miao Qian sighed.

"I remember that when Shi Lang attacked Taiwan, many of the warships in my Zheng Army Naval Division and the Qing Army's Naval Division were also rushing warships." The main general, Qin Yu, also smiled bitterly.

The sailors of Fuyang Town accepted it when they saw it, and they did not have too much nostalgia for the battlefield.

Today's goal is not just to annihilate the Qing army's sailors.

Soon, more than a dozen merchant ships faintly appeared in the rear.

Judging by the flags hoisted on the ship, it seems to be a merchant ship on land and sea.

The Ming army's attack on Qiong not only wanted to take down an island as an anti-Qing base, but more importantly, it wanted to use it as a springboard to attack and harass the Qing army on the coast of the mainland.

And now, the main destination of this Ming fleet is Leizhou.

At this moment, the sailors of the left battalion of Leizhou have been destroyed.

More than half of the Qing army's forces in the coastal direction of Leizhou were lost at once.

For the Ming army sailors, it is great news.

especially

After learning from the captured Qing sailors that they were from the left camp of Leizhou, the water division of Fuyang Town couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"God help me, I didn't expect that we would annihilate the Leizhou Left Battalion in this battle." Miao Qian laughed.

"This is very good, and the next operation will be much easier for our army." The main general, Qin Yu, was also happy.

This time, the Fuyang Town Naval Division poured out, full of elite army officers and soldiers in front of the Ming Army, and headed towards Leizhou, and there were more than a dozen three-masted galleons in the rear.

But their trip today is not to capture Leizhou, but to harass the coast of Leizhou and plunder the coastal people to Qiong Island.

Following the direction where the warships of the Leizhou Zuoying Naval Division came, the Fuyang Town Naval Division moved all the way.

In the early morning of the second day, the sailors of Fuyang Town rushed to Hai'an.

At this moment, the Hai'an Institute did not know that the Qing Army's Leizhou Zuoying Water Division had already been wiped out.

Seeing the sudden emergence of a large number of naval warships on the coast, the soldiers of the Hai'an Institute couldn't help but be stunned.

But before they could react, more than a dozen Ming speedboats carrying more than 200 Ming officers and soldiers had already landed.

The speed of the Ming army was very fast, and these days, the Ming army in Qiongzhou searched for people who were familiar with the coastal areas of Leizhou, and spent a lot of money to let them lead the way.

At this moment, under the leadership of several Qiongzhou fishermen, the Ming army quickly marched in the direction of Hai'an.

At this moment, many Qing Dynasty flood soldiers stationed in Hai'an finally reacted.

Under the leadership of Chief Xun, he hurriedly killed the Ming officers and soldiers.

However, where are these officers and soldiers of the Qing army's coastal defense who are the opponents of the elite Tiger Ben Army of the Ming army?

I saw Qing officers and soldiers holding big swords, shouting at the elite soldiers of the Ming army.

The soldiers of the Ming army did not have the intention of hand-to-hand combat, so they directly set up a fire gun and bombarded the Qing army in front of them.

The Tiger Army can be said to be the army with the most firearms in the Ming Army.

Dozens of self-generated firebolts formed an array of three-stage salvos.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen turtledoves on the side had also been erected, and they bombarded the Qing army.

After several rounds of blows, the Qing army suffered more than 20 casualties.

The remaining Qing soldiers were also stupid and fled one after another, but where could they escape the pursuit of the Ming army.

I saw the long knife on the side, and the Ming army pulled out the long knife and chased towards the Qing army.

In a short time, the remaining Qing army was completely slaughtered.

This fierce battle on the coast has already alarmed the fishermen near the Hai'an Station.

Many fishermen were so frightened that they fled home.

What's more, he ran away directly, and seemed to plan to report to the county seat.

The hundreds of Ming officers and soldiers who landed on the shore did not even have time to clean up the battlefield, and they headed towards the villages of Hai'an under the leadership of fishermen.

This time, their purpose was clear, not to occupy a place, but to plunder the people.

Soon, the large and small villages near the Hai'an Institute suffered.

The Ming army arrested people when they saw them, regardless of men, women and young Confucians.

In each village, only the elderly with limited mobility remained.

For a time, the entire Hai'an Institute was crying and shaking the sky.

Some men instinctively wanted to resist, but under the deterrence of the Ming army, they were also doomed to be fruitless.

Groups of people from Hai'an were tied with ropes by the Ming army and escorted to the shore.

At this time, more than a dozen merchant ships on land and sea are waiting.

In just one day, more than 2,000 people were escorted to the sea ship by the Ming army and sent to Qiongzhou.

Six land-sea merchant ships full of people from the Hai'an Institute headed in the direction of Qiongdao.

The final destination of these people is not Qiongzhou, but also Luzon or Jiading.

In short, the rest of their lives will be spent in the land where the Ming court banner goes.
