Leizhou Hai'an Institute,

At this moment, more than a month has passed since the last attack of the Ming army.

At this time, Hai'an was uninhabited for ten miles, and there was not one in the village.

The Ming army's large-scale raids here caused the people of the vicinity to move away.

On the contrary, it created some convenient conditions for the Qing army.

The thatched huts of many villages became the garrison sites of the Qing army.

At this moment, the Hai'an Institute was full of people, and a large number of horse teams were running back and forth between the ridges.

At this time, the Qing army had gathered about seven or eight thousand soldiers in the direction of Hai'an.

And that's not even counting a fleet of sailors organized by hundreds of ships.

"According to the time, this twist should be two or three days from Nanjing to Beijing, and it is expected that the emperor will see it soon." Wu Xingzuo looked at Baiyin Dali in the big tent.

"Before the emperor sees the battle report, we must recover Qiongzhou." Baiyin Dali also knew what Wu Xingzuo meant, and nodded in agreement.

"This time, my two Guangxi green battalions have gathered Nafu Battalion, Guanghai Battalion, Xinhui Battalion, Qianshanzhai (Battalion), Humen Zhai (Battalion), Xin'an Battalion, Huizhou Battalion, Chaoyang Battalion, Dahao Battalion, Chaozhou Battalion, Huanggang Battalion and other green battalions, as well as flood soldiers from all over the country, with a strength of 10,000 troops, I don't believe that we can't take Qiongzhou Island in this district?" Bai Yindari snorted coldly.

This time, Baiyin Dali has gathered all the troops that can be gathered by the Guangdong side in the direction of Leizhou.

Although there are Qing troops in the direction of Guangdong.

However, Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou and other cities all needed a large number of Qing officers and soldiers to be prepared.

In a short period of time, there are only more than 10,000 people who can be assembled and transferred to the direction of Leizhou.

"The adults are just a group of pirates, and giving the last general 2,000 elite soldiers is enough to sweep away the thieves on this Qiong Island." Huang Zanzhong, the chief soldier of Leizhou, hurriedly said.

"Okay, well, then General Huang will attack Qiongshan as the vanguard officer." Baiyin Dali laughed, and at the moment, he was in a good mood.

Although Qiong Island was taken away by thieves, the responsibility for this crime would definitely not be borne by him, a Manchu general.

However, this great achievement in recovering Qiong Island must be remembered for his Baiyin Dari.

Looking at Bai Yin Dali's look of hesitation, Wu Xingzuo also shook his head and sighed.

He knew that even if the Qing army easily recovered Qiongdao this time, his career would basically end here.

After all, he, the governor of Liangguang, could not afford to bear the responsibility for the great crime of losing the island.

"Order the Huizhou Battalion, Chaoyang Battalion, Dahao Battalion, Chaozhou Battalion and other battalions of naval divisions to assemble immediately, cross Qionghai, and seek to annihilate the main force of the thief army and naval division in the direction of Qionghai." Bayindari commanded.

"The last general commands!" The sailors and generals present received their orders one after another.

Bayindari is also a battle-hardened veteran, and he also knows that if he wants to land on Qiongdao unharmed, he must annihilate or expel the sailor warships of the thief army near the Qiongzhou Strait.

The news of the fiasco of the advance Leizhou Water Battalion and even the annihilation of the entire army has already come back.

After learning that these were Zheng Jun who could not escape from Taiwan, the sailors of the two Guangxi sides did not dare to slack off.

About 100 warships began to assemble in the Hai'an area.

Although most of the warships were only small ships such as clippers and sentinels.

But there is no problem in surviving the calm Qiongzhou Strait.

The Qing army gathered seventy or eighty naval warships and headed towards the direction of Qionghai.

Baiyin Dali was very vigilant, and he did not urge the Qing officers and soldiers to board the warship and rush to Qiongdao.

Instead, he ordered the naval warships to seek to annihilate the Ming army's naval divisions in the Qionghai area, or to expel the Ming army's naval divisions and warships from the direction of Qionghai, so as to ensure the safety of this sea area from Leizhou to Qiongzhou.

The large-scale movements of the Qing army's naval division had long been known by the Ming army clippers who were ambushed near Hai'an.

When the Qing army's sailors slaughtered Qiongshan violently, the Ming army's sailors also got the news.

It's just that what is surprising is that when the Qing army's naval division warships arrived in the sea near Qiongshan, they were surprised to find that there was no near Qiongshan

There are sailors of the thief army.

"What a strange thing? It was a month ago that they were looting near Hai'an, but today, why is there no trace of the thief's sailor warship?" A general held a thousand miles tube and looked at the sea near Qiongshan with a puzzled expression.

"Maybe I saw the mighty killing of the warships of our Qing army's sailors, and the thief army had already fled in the wilderness." Next to Mr. Xu, a flag officer said with a smile.

"It's not impossible, but this thief is cunning by nature, you see that fort, the flags are moving, and its shore defense cannons must have been prepared a long time ago, so we should be careful." Xu put away the Qianli Cylinder and ordered several sailors to go to test the firepower.

This time, the main purpose of the Qing army was to annihilate or expel the thief sailors in the direction of Qiongdao, so they did not carry a large number of marine officers and soldiers.

However, the Qing army also wanted to test the bandit army on the island.

I saw a few unlucky Qing army bird boats slowly heading towards Qiongshan.

But before they could approach the coastline near Qiongshan, the Ming army fort on the top of the mountain began to roar in unison.

An iron cannon and a bronze cannon roared there.

As puffs of white smoke rose.

Iron bullets and lead bullets were smashed towards the warships of the Qing army's naval divisions.

Due to the distance, none of the Qing warships were hit by lead bullets, but the shocking monstrous water curtain also frightened the Qing sailors on the warships.

"The firepower of this fort is so fierce." On the main warship of the Qing army watching the battle from a distance, several Qian generals couldn't help frowning when they saw this scene.

This is not good news.

If these shore artillery guns had suddenly opened fire while the Qing army was covering the landing of officers and soldiers, the losses caused to the Qing army would have been unimaginable.

"Bastard, that Wu Qijue should really be cut by a thousand knives." A Qing army garrison scolded and scolded.

With this shore fire resistance, even if the Fujian Navy Division came and didn't sink more than a dozen warships, you don't even want to land, right?

But Qiongdao was taken by thieves in less than a month.

Looking at the billowing white smoke on the fort on the hilltop of Qiongdao, the Qing army generals really felt great irony.

"That's it, let the warships come back, this time our goal is to annihilate the main force of the thieves' sailors, let this Qiongshan go for the time being." Adjutant General Zhou Dingdao.

Soon, the Qing army's naval division warship turned its bow and headed towards Chengmai and Lingao.

The Qing warships marched westward, and no trace of the thieves was found for two or three days.

Until the Qing army fleet arrived in the direction of Lingao.

"My lord, there is a thief warship ahead." At the lookout post, a Qing officer and soldier shouted.

At this moment, more than a dozen sentinel ships of the Qing army, as the vanguard, and the sailors and officers and soldiers on the bird boat also discovered the flotilla ahead.

"These thieves, I thought they had already escaped." Looking at the sailor warship in front of him, Zhou Ding sneered.

"Chang Zhi went down and ordered the Chaozhou battalion, and the Huizhou battalion water division surrounded the left and right roads, and the thief army and water division must be annihilated here."

With the order of the adults, the major main ships of the Qing army have erected the flags to meet the battle.

The warships of the various battalions of the sailors began to converge towards the Ming navy divisions in the distance.

"Bang Bang ......" On the rough sea, the two fleets met unexpectedly.

One iron cannon was aimed at the ships in front by the Qing artillerymen.

The pitch-black muzzle spewed flames, and the huge backseat slammed the thousand-pound cannon back.

The water curtain was lifted on the sea, and for a time white fog filled the sea.

The battalions of the Qing army gradually surrounded the left and right directions of the Ming army's water divisions.

More than 100 iron cannons and copper cannons of various types of warships bombarded the Ming warships.

"My lord, our vanguard fleet has fought with the enemy bandits." On a warship, several generals were always watching the naval battle ahead, and the vanguard fleet had already started a large-scale engagement battle with the thief ships, and they couldn't help laughing.

More than a dozen bird ships and sentinel ships for the vanguard collided with the warships of the Ming army's sailors.

"Kill!" More than a dozen Qing officers and soldiers entered the deck of the Ming warship.

"Kill me!" The Qing army led by the general cut down a thief and said loudly.
