Outside the sea of ​​Denglai, Shandong, near Changshan Island.

On the sea, a three-masted gunship with a triangular yellow dragon flag hanging on its mast, riding the wind and waves.

After the three-masted gunship, more than ten large lucky ships, with hard sails swelling, and followed closely behind.

"Changshan Island!" The main mast of the three-masted gunship was on the bucket, and the Qing army's lookout hand suddenly shouted loudly.

At this time, a Qing general wearing a black official robe, a bowl cap and a flower feather, immediately walked to the edge of the boat building and pulled out a thousand-mile mirror, looking at the sea, an island in the distance was located on the blue sea.

The island is dominated by black rocks, and the waves hit the island. The wind and waves are very high. However, in the bay in the distance, it is relatively calm. There are many ships moored. There are docks made of stones on the beach of the bay. At the top of the island, there are villages made of wood and stones, with a blue-bottomed sun and moon flag on it.

At this time, an alarm bell suddenly sounded on the lighthouse built on the island.

Amid the sound of "Dangdang", a large number of soldiers wearing various armor and headscarves hurriedly climbed the village walls and fished on the sea, and all the ships who were fishing on the sea returned to the harbor.

Wearing mountain-patterned armor, phoenix-winged helmet, and holding a battle knife, Xie Qian climbed up to the village wall surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"General, it's Qinggou's fleet!" A general from the village wall said anxiously.

Xie Qian's face was heavy. Last year, the Qing army raided Lushun and occupied the Lushun Fort, which had been operated by Liaodong Wei for several years. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died tragically under the butcher knife.

At the beginning of this year, the Qing army swept Denglai from Qingzhou. Most of the strongholds in Donghai Town in Dengzhou were captured by the Qing army. Many rebels went out to sea, but Xie Qian knew that going out to sea was not safe. The Qing army had the ability to attack Lushun from the sea, and sooner or later it would attack many islands near the coast of Shandong and wipe out all the Ming army in Shandong.

For this reason, Xie Qian sent a letter to Zhao Ming for help, but before the reinforcements in Donghai Town arrived, the Qing army fleet had already arrived.

Xie Qian took the Qianlijing from his subordinates, pulled out the lens barrel to watch, and saw the Huanglong flag on the mast of the fleet, and suddenly put the Qianlijing away. He shouted angrily: "It's Qing dog, the artillery is loading, and ready to start the war!"

Almost at the same time, Shi Lang, the admiral of the Zhili Navy of the Qing army, took up the Qianli Miles Miles, turned his head to a general next to him and said, "Bayangu Mountain, I will bombard Changshan Island with ship cannons and destroy the thief army's village. At that time, your elite soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner will wait for an opportunity to go ashore and wipe out the thief army on the island."

After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, Duoduo invaded Fujian and incorporated nearly 100,000 Zheng troops, including Zheng generals who knew how to fight water.

After Duoduo was defeated by Zhao Ming in Fujian, the Zheng army most likely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but some Zheng army surrendered generals and fled back to Jiangnan with Duoduo.

After the Dutch contacted the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty formed the Beizhi Navy in Tianjin through the Dutch. A group of idle Zheng army surrendered generals were activated under the recommendation of Fujian Hong Chengchou and became the backbone of the Manqing Navy.

A few years ago, Zhao Ming went north to Shandong and captured Liaodong. After he arranged a large number of troops stationed along the coasts of Shandong and Liaodong, restraining a large number of Qing troops, making the Qing army unable to go south with all their might. The Qing Dynasty has always regarded it as a confidant.

Shandong is too close to Beijing, and Liaodong directly threatens Manchus' lairs, which is something that Dorgon and Manchu nobles cannot tolerate.

Therefore, Dorgon always wanted to wipe out the Ming army in Shandong and Liaodong, and trained a navy to guard against Zhao Zamao's navy, and headed north again to the Dagukou.

Bayan sneered on her face, "Prince Xun is attacking Zhao Zamao. Zhao Zamao's army has all been sent to Jiangnan. It is our opportunity to sweep away the pirates in Shandong and Liaodong. This time, all the pirates stationed in Shandong must be wiped out."

Shi Lang waved his hand, "Swing the rudder right, adjust the sails, and prepare the side gun!"

On the mast of the three-masted gun, the warships adjusted the sails together. The ships quickly turned, lined up, aiming the side of the ship at the bay.

At this time, the gun window on the side of the ship was opened, and the black muzzle was pushed out, aiming at the bay.

The Qing army did not hesitate. The officer waved his left hand down and shouted loudly: "Let it go!"

The gunner next to the naval gun immediately approached the torch in turn. The ignited lead immediately flashed with sparks and drilled into the cannon body. It was a loud "boom" sound, and the cannon body shook violently backwards. The cannon muzzle suddenly exited the cannon window, and a ball of white smoke rose.

In an instant, the Qing army warships opened fire in turn, and one black cannon after another retreated. The ship trembled violently, as if it was about to fall apart, and the sidewalks were instantly filled with smoke.

Nearly a hundred shells flew over and hit the bay close to the sea. The water columns soared into the sky. The ships parked in the bay were instantly smashed by dense shells.

The first round of Qing army's artillery hit the Ming army's ships, fishing boats and transport ships in the bay. They were hit by shells, and in a few cannons they turned into a pile of driftwood.

Seeing this, Xie Qian was furious, pulled out his knife, pointed forward, and said angrily: "Shit the cannon, blow his damn."

On the stone wall of the village, Ming army gunners wrapped in headscarves brought the torch closer to the cannon. The cannon roared, and the cannon body retreated back with the cannon stand. Balls of white smoke rose from the village, and the cannonballs roared to the sea, splashing water columns next to the Qing army fleet.

The shells hit Qing army warships, smashed wood and swept across a deck, telling the Qing army that the island defenders were not without the power to fight back.

The Ming army along the coast of Shandong and Liaodong were both stationed troops in Donghai Town, namely the guards, not elite troops.

When Bayan and Shi Lang saw that the Ming army on the island actually fired cannons and fought back, they were both surprised.

"I didn't expect there were heavy artillery on the island!" Bayan frowned and gritted his teeth.

The Qing army navy had no combat power and had no way to deal with the Ming army at sea. The Ming army was invincible for a long time on the island.

Because there is no need to worry about the Qing army attacking the island, the defense on the island is relatively weak. The Qing army has cleared many islands for a while, and they are all like this. I don’t think there are still heavy artillery on this Changshan Island.

Shi Lang waved his hand and said calmly: "It's okay. Although there are artillery on the island, there are not many. They are not our opponent!"

After saying that, Shi Lang immediately ordered, slapped the boat tower with a palm, and roared, "Aim at the pirates' artillery array and fight me!"

On the side of the Qing army warship, the loaded Qing army gunner pushed the artillery back to the gun position and adjusted the angle. The gunner brought the torch closer to the lead line, and the side of each ship roared again.

The Qing army's gunships sprayed out orange flames and thick white smoke in turn, one after another, and flew towards the village quickly. The shells hit the village wall, and gravel splashed. Many Ming soldiers were hit by the stone and fell directly to the village wall.

"Hidden, enemy shells!" The smoke and dust filled the village wall. The Ming general shouted urgently, and one shot hit the city wall and exploded. The officer's body suddenly flew backwards, and the shells were wrapped in gravel, killing several people immediately.

There are only ten red cannons on Changshan Island. The artillery of the Qing army's gunships is about ten times that of the Ming army. With one volley, the Ming army's artillery will be suppressed immediately.

Under the violent shelling, the village was smashed to pieces, and smoke filled the dust. The sound of the collapse of the village wall and the wailing of the soldiers came from everywhere, which was terrifying.

Amid the rumbling cannons and screams, Xie Qian squatted behind the village wall and pulled a man in one hand. It was Zhao Shuxiang, the assistant guard of Shandong, who shouted anxiously: "Old Zhao, go down from the back mountain and take a boat to ask for help from the general."
