Chapter 331: Dragon Gate Lonely Brave

Suddenly, a buckshot was fired, hitting the guard in the chest.

I saw a sliver of blood blooming on the chest of the Qing garrison, and then the garrison glared and fell heavily on the deck.

Bright red blood mixed with seawater and black powder residue flowed onto the deck.

The death of the garrison was like the last straw that overwhelmed the Qing sailors on the deck.

Some Qing soldiers began to cry and mourn, and even jumped into the sea to escape.

Seeing that the Qing army in front of him was rushing to catch up with the boat, the firepower began to gradually weaken.

The big bird boats of the Ming army, which were besieging like sharks, did not besiege anymore, but chased after several Qing army boats in the distance.

At this moment, several main warships of the Qing army were already some distance away from the Ming army.

"Where did this thief army come from? Isn't it the sea of Quang Nam?" On a Qing warship, a Qing soldier looked at the Ming army sailor warship in the distance in shock.

"My lord, it's not like, when did so many Guangnan Haikou come out of the waters of Qinzhou?" A Qing sailor shouted.

"My lord, the whole warship is surrounded by thieves, shall we go to the rescue?" A Qing artillery commander ran over and asked.

"Save, what to save, quickly withdraw to Longmen Island." When the Qing army general heard this, he was angry and kicked the artillery commander away.

The speed of the Qing army's chasing ships was not slow, and the big bird ships of the Ming army were all dragged by the previous thousand warships.

Because of this, it actually opened a distance from the Ming Army Naval Division.

At this time, the officers and men of the naval division on the Qing warship clearly saw that the Longmen Islands were close at hand.

Not far from the sea, a small island looms.

"Great, General, we're in the Dragon Gate Islands." On the deck of the warship, the officers and men of the Qing Army's naval division cheered and jumped for joy when they saw the appearance of the island.

Seeing this, the Qing army was also relieved.

As long as you enter the boundary of the Longmen Islands, it is estimated that the thief army will not dare to catch up rashly.

After all, there are still batteries of the Qing army on Longmen Island.

It is also estimated that these thieves do not have the courage to catch up.

But before the smile on the faces of the Qing sailors bloomed, it instantly froze.

Not far from the island, I saw a fleet of ships faintly coming out.

"My lord, there is a fleet of ships ahead, I don't know if it's my Dragon Gate Sailor." On the lookout post, a Qing army sailor said.

At this time, the Ming army sailors also saw the fleet that inexplicably appeared in the distance.

"My lord, the fleet ahead must be the reinforcements of the Qing Army's sailors!" An officer and soldier of the Navy Division said.

The guerrilla Tong Yi of Fubo Qian Town also looked at the fleet in the distance with a vigilant face.

At this moment, the Ming army and naval division in the direction of Qinzhou are only one in Fubo Town.

Since it is not a friendly army, it is naturally only an enemy army.

Just when the generals of the Ming army were depressed, they saw a rumbling sound of artillery in the distance.

I saw that in the distance, a shocking column of water suddenly appeared on the sea near the warship of the Qing army's naval division.

"General, that's not reinforcements from the Qing army." The sailors of the Ming army, who were watching the battle, suddenly shouted.

"Immediately notify General Li Du in the rear."

At this moment, the Qing army was also blinded by this inexplicable artillery fire.

Lead bullets whistled and smashed straight into the already scarred hull of the Qing warship.

At this moment, the Qing army realized that it was not friendly troops that came to support them, but enemy troops.

"My lord, that's not the Dragon Gate reinforcements, they're pirates." On the deck, Qing sailors shouted in horror.

"It's not good, it's Zhu Quan!" The Qing army finally came back to his senses at this time.

"I didn't expect these thieves to be killed today." Holding the steel knife and looking at the thief fleet not far away, Qianjian was gritting his teeth.

"My lord, our army is surrounded." A military commander was crying and mourning, half of his face was blackened by gunpowder slag.

"That's it, the brothers are fighting here today."

At this moment, the Ming army is fighting

The ship has also arrived.

The two fleets were one behind the other, and the Qing army's naval division was horizontally in the middle.

The guns of several Tiger battleships opened fire in unison.

More than 20 red-coated cannons and tiger cannons poured artillery fire on the main warships of the Qing army.

The Qing army also used iron cannons and copper cannons to fight back from time to time.

However, the artillery on the Qing warships was far from being comparable to the red-coated cannons and tiger cannons on the Tiger Ben battleships.

Although the Qing army also had heavy artillery such as redcoat cannons, the number was too small.

At best, a rushing ship was equipped with only two heavy guns.

Compared with the Ming army, the artillery was suppressed in an instant.

At this moment, there were thieves blocking the road in front of the Qing fleet, and the Ming army was chasing after them, and there was no possibility of escape.

Many of the Qing sailors on the ships completely collapsed and began to scatter and flee.

Some Qing officers and soldiers on bird boats put up white flags and began to surrender to the Ming naval divisions one after another.

The Qing Army's Sailor Bird Boat is not comparable to the big bird boat equipped by the Ming Army's Sailor.

The ships carried nothing more than a few small pound cannons.

There was no room for resistance at all, and the surrounding sea routes had been blocked by the Ming army's naval divisions.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's naval division will no longer work for the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing the surrounding Qing army bird ships, the ships surrendered one after another and withdrew from the battlefield.

After seeing this scene, Qianjiao's eyes widened with anger.

"Bastard, we are the sailors of the Great Qing Longmen, how can we surrender these pirates?" The Qing army vomited out almost a mouthful of old blood.

"My lord, half of the guns on our deck have been blown up or destroyed by the thieves." A Qing artillery commander rushed over and shouted at the commander.

At this moment, the Qing army's sailors were already crumbling.

A large number of naval warships were either sunk or surrendered.

Only a few ships remained, which were still the main force, and they were struggling to hold out there.

"Your Excellency, if you continue to fight, I will die." The gunner's face was mournful, and he spoke.

The Qing army didn't say a word, and went down with a knife, directly slashing the artillery commander to the ground.

"Listen, who dares to have a descender, die?" Holding a blood-stained steel knife, his face was hideous.

The Qing artillery sailors on the deck had long lost their fighting spirit at this moment, and they looked at it with a panicked expression.

But out of nowhere, an arrow suddenly shot straight into the right eye of the Qing army general.

At this moment, the pirate warships in front had already begun to approach the warships of the Qing army's naval divisions.

I saw a three-masted pirate warship slammed into the ship, after a huge shake.

More than a dozen pirates screamed and rushed into the deck of the Qing warship.

"Kill the thief!" Mr. Qian grabbed a handful of arrows with bloody eyeballs, and the heart-rending pain made him scream.

The thieves on the warship not far away were also shocked, and their hairs stood on end.

Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the rough seas and leaped onto the deck of the warship.

While the boss was still in a hurry, his knife fell, and a human head with short pigtails flew out and rolled on the deck.

"I will surrender, I will surrender."

The Qing sailors on the deck no longer had the fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

The three main warships of the Qing army hoisted white flags and surrendered one after another.

Seeing that the Qing army's naval division was completely destroyed, the gunners of the Ming warships stopped firing.

The sailors on the Ming warship were still staring at the pirate in front of them with great vigilance.

Who knows if this pirate is friend or foe?

"My lord, the pirate ship ahead has sent a messenger to ask for an audience." Next to the Ming Army's sailor Tiger Ben warship, the Ming Army's sailors could see a pirate clipper approaching quickly with the naked eye.

"Let them come up." Li Du looked at a pirate clipper in front of him and spoke.

In fact, he was also puzzled.

According to the intelligence, this chin

There are indeed quite a few pirates in the state waters.

There were even many pirates who crossed the border from Annam and attacked the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty and Guangzhou.

In addition to suppressing the anti-Qing activities in the Liangguang area, the Longmen Island Naval Division was also set up here to defend against pirates in the Annam area.

It was also natural for Li Du to think that these pirates were brought from Annan.

Soon, several pirates boarded the Ming army's Tiger Warrior ship.

"Who are you? Why are you here to help us?" Li Du looked at Haikou Dao in front of him.

Judging by their faces and clothes, these people don't seem to be brought by Annan.

It seems to be like the Han people in the Liangguang area.

"The villain is a sailor under the command of General Zhu Quan, and when he saw your troops fighting with the Qing army's naval division, he thought that it was my General Yang Yandi who returned from the Annan generation and fought with the Qing army, so he came to help in the battle." One of the pirates spoke.

Hearing this, Li Du was shocked.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? What is the relationship between Yang Yandi and you?" Li Du looked shocked and hurriedly asked.

"We were originally subordinates of General Yang Yandi, and we belonged to Liwu Town."

"Since the defeat of the Qing army seven or eight years ago, General Yang has led thousands of troops to flee to Annan."

"We were unwilling to turn our backs on our homeland, so under the leadership of the two generals Fang and Zhu, we entrenched themselves in the area of Longmen Island and fought against the Qing army." The sailor said.

Hearing this, the generals of the Ming army present were all stunned.

Who would have thought that in this area of the Longmen Islands, there are still anti-Qing righteous people who are sticking to it.

This Yang Yandi and Chen Shangchuan fled to Annam with 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division as early as seven or eight years ago.

However, when the army fled, these sailors in front of them chose to stick to the area of Longmen Island and continue to resist the Qing Dynasty.

"After General Yang left, you still fought against the Qing Dynasty in the Longmen Islands for seven or eight years." Li Du lost his voice.

Several sailors present nodded.

"Don't hide it, there are more than 130 large and small islands in the Longmen Islands, and although the Qing army has stationed heavy troops on Longmen Island, it is difficult to search for more than 130 islands."

"In addition, this Longmen Islands is a sea artery, and it is very close to Annam, so we can also trade with the pirates of Annam and Annan and others, so we have persevered." The sailor flag officer spoke.

Hearing this, the generals of the Ming army present nodded.

But it's still a little unbelievable, you know, they have never heard Yang Yandi and Chen Shangchuan mention that after the failure of Longmen Island's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, there are still rebels left here.

"Ahead is Kagoshima, where we are stationed, and I would like to ask the Shogun to come up and have a look." The sailor flag officer spoke.

"Good!" After this battle, the Ming army's naval division also suffered a lot of losses.

In addition, the captured Qing army has more than 20 large and small warships, and it is indeed time to rest.

Looking at the island not far ahead, Li Du ordered the whole army to advance.

Kagoshima is not very large, just a small island on the edge of the Ryumen Islands.

The Ming army soon landed on Kagoshima.

A large number of Qing naval divisions were captured and escorted ashore by the Ming army.

According to the statistics of this army, 21 ships of the Qing army's naval division were captured, and more than 700 Qing soldiers were captured.

Many Qing warships were damaged by Ming artillery fire, and it was almost impossible to sail anymore. 藲礿尛裞網

Soon, Li Tu, who had landed on the shore, met with two generals of the rebel army.

"I am the Admiral of the Ming Court in Luzon, and the Governor of Fubo Town." Looking at the two generals, Li Du spoke.

The two generals glanced at each other and said one after another.

"The last general, Zhu Quan,"

"The last general, Fang Yunlong,"

Seeing that the two generals reported their names, Li Du said again.

"The two generals are Yang Yandi's subordinates?"

"Yes, we are General Yang's subordinates, and we belong to Liwu Town." The two generals said.

Hearing this, Li Du finally understood the origin of the rebels on Longmen Island

"Dare to ask the general why he calls himself who he is

The generals of the Ming court, and why did the generals and sailors hang the Ming flag?" General Zhu Quan stepped forward and asked.

"Don't hide the two generals, we are the generals of the Zheng clan in Taiwan, after the rebel general Shi Lang led the Qing army to capture Taiwan, we will march south to Luzon under the leadership of the governor Liu Yu, and build the Ming court in Luzon, and now my Ming court sailors have made a northern expedition to Liangguang, and have now recovered Qiongzhou." Li Du self-reported.
