"Fuck! This Ming army has only about ten ships. It's really hard to come to rescue the Ocean Island!"

Ma Futa, standing on a steep high rock by the sea, put down the mirror in his hand, and looked at the Ming army ships coming from afar, and a sneer flashed across his face.

"Master said that now our Qing army has 62 ships in Yuanjiang Town, and the number of warships is several times that of the Ming army. It just happened to leave the port immediately and eliminate all the invading Ming army!"

Zhifu, the leader of the Han Army sergeant, said with a flattering smile at Ma Futa.

"Transfer this general's order, General Chen..." Ma Futa suddenly stopped when he said this.

He thought that Shen Zhixiang had suffered a lot of losses in the battle against the fort, and so far, he had been sulking in the camp. At this time, it was inconvenient to let him go to war again.

So he pondered for a moment and said to Ban Zhifu beside him, "Ban Chan, then you will lead the navy to completely eliminate this Ming army!"

"Yeah!"

Ban Zhifu responded happily and asked to leave. Looking at him, leading these 62 large and small ships to attack the Ming army fleet with only sixteen ships was a win-win situation! Such a good thing fell into his hands, and it was like a pie falling from the sky and falling into his mouth.

But Ban Zhifu was about to leave, but suddenly he saw Shen Zhixiang hurried over here with two guards.

"Master, do you want to send a ship to fight against the Ming army?"

Shen Zhixiang, who was running anxiously, asked Ma Futa in panting.

Ma Futa coughed a few times, then smiled out on his face and said, "Oh, this is exactly what I mean. According to my observation, there are only sixteen Ming army fleets, while our army has 62 large and small ships, which are several times the Ming army fleet. We should take advantage of the darkness to go out to fight. All Ming army ships that will aid in the future will be sunk to the sea!"

Ma Futa said this, looking at Shen Zhixiang, whose face was getting ugly, he stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder and said in a comforting tone, "General Chen, I want to send you to fight, but considering that your troops have suffered a lot today, General Chen, you are bored, so I thought about it over and over again, and decided to lead the navy to fight. I hope General Chen understands his efforts."

Shen Zhixiang smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you have been worried too much. You are here not to fight for the commanding power, but to persuade Master not to dispatch the navy easily."

After hearing Shen Zhixiang's words, Ma Futa immediately pulled down his face: "Shen Zhixiang, what do you mean?"

Shen Zhixiang bowed to Ma Futa and said, "Master, please forgive me for saying that the enemy situation in this Ming army is not clear, and our army cannot be dispatched all of them. It is better to wait for the enemy to advance more, find out the situation, and go out to fight again."

Ma Futa, whose face was gloomy, had not yet replied, but Ban Zhifu next to him had already shouted first; "General Shen, there are only these sixteen ships in the enemy's total, so what is the enemy's situation unknown? If you don't hurry up and attack, it will be difficult to destroy this Ming army again."

Seeing Ban Zhifu so much, Shen Zhixiang was also angry. He looked directly at Ban Zhifu's wretched gourd-shaped face and asked in a low voice: "Ban Zhifu, you have been in the Dongjiang Naval Division, and I believe you have also understood the water war. I have also observed in the Qianli Mile Mile Mile. Now the Ming army's ships are still a distance from the ocean island, and you can only see the number of ships clearly, but their size, speed, material level (tonnage), firearm equipment, etc. cannot be seen clearly. In the naval battle, the material level and firearm configuration of ships are the basis for victory. If you attack rashly, if the Ming army ships coming were much more advanced than our army, wouldn't our army go here to fall into the trap?"

Ban Zhifu was asked by Shen Zhixiang, and his face suddenly felt a little anxious. He said, "There are there any Ming army in Shandong and other places that are more advanced than our Dongjiang Town Navy? General Chen, you speak like this, just to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own majesty."

Shen Zhixiang was still about to speak, and Ma Futa, who was beside him, shouted coldly: "You two don't have to fight! In my opinion, our army has 62 ships, which are several times that of the Ming army. Even if their ships are a little advanced than our army, what can we do? Our army can win by number."

After Ma Futa finished speaking, he did not look at Shen Zhixiang, but walked slowly down Gao Yan and spoke to Ban Zhifu: "Banshen, please take the Navy in the Hong Kong SAR to attack, don't miss the time."

"Yeah!"

Ban Zhifu responded loudly on purpose, then glanced at Shen Zhixiang, then sneered and left with a big stance.

Looking at Ban Zhifu's proud and departed, Shen Zhixiang gritted his teeth hatefully, then sighed and returned to his military tent.

After a moment of arrival, Ban Zhifu led the prepared naval forces out of the port and headed straight for the Ming army ships in the distance.

Looking at the more than 60 former Dongjiang Town Navy ships coming from the opposite side, Li Xiao, the main general who led 16 ships to fight, was filled with emotions.

It turned out that after Li Xiao set out from Taiwan and returned, he traveled north day and night, and finally returned to Chifengwei Longkou Port twenty-two days later.

As soon as Li Xiao returned to Chifeng City, two generals Jin Riguan and Chu Jigong came to cry and complain about the destruction of Dongjiang Town, the death of General Shen Shikui in battle, and the deputy general Shen Zhixiang surrendered to Qing Dynasty and other series of bad news that made him stunned.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart. It seems that as his power grows stronger and stronger, the ability of butterflies to flap their wings is getting stronger, and there are more and more places where real history has been changed by himself.

While Huang Taiji sent troops to North Korea, he also sent another troops to attack Dongjiang Town. This was completely beyond Li Xiao's expectations.

Now, when Li Xiao heard the surrendered soldiers of the former Dongjiang Town, led by Shen Zhixiang, and went to attack his own ocean island with the Qing Manchu soldiers and horses.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhixiang, who was called brothers and brothers, had a very harmonious business deal. Now that he turned around, he wanted to attack his former brothers to seek credit from the Qing court. How can people not sigh?

Li Xiao didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the 5,000 reserve auxiliary soldiers in Chifeng Camp to be transferred out of their original positions and replenished them into the navy team to act as seamen and sailors. The head of the navy was Feng Shi, the former head of the navy, and the deputy head of the dutch Joseph.

Then, Li Xiao decided to lead the sixteen ships to take the two troops of General A and General B of Chifeng Camp to the Ocean Island for emergency rescue. Only General C will guard Chifeng Guard.

In this way, the total force of troops heading to rescue was 30 teams of shield soldiers, 60 teams of spearmen, 600 sergeants, 600 heavy cavalry in the black tiger, 600 flying kites, 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, and a total force of 11,980.

After preparing all the food and replenishing freshwater gunpowder and other supplies, the sixteen ships that had only rested in Longkou Port for a long time immediately set off again and headed straight for the ocean island.

At dusk the next day, Li Xiao finally met the former Dongjiang Town Navy who came out of the ocean island and wanted to fight against him.

The sky was filled with thick red clouds, and the sunset gradually fell. On the dark sea, there was a golden afterglow, and the salty and fishy sea breeze sounded. Except for the seagulls chasing up and down, there was peace and quiet between the sea and the sky.

On this seemingly calm sea, a naval battle that determines the fate of both sides begins.

When navy combat, tactics are second to the point, and the most important thing is the comparison of the specific strength of both sides.

In this battle that seemed to have many enemies and few, Li Xiaojun gained the upper hand.

Because the average tonnage, ship speed, firepower configuration, artillery range of Li Xiao’s army are far superior to the Qing army navy on the opposite side. Especially the command ship Shenglong, which is the commander of the Dutch first-class battleship, is equivalent to the difference between adults and children compared with these Dongjiang Town naval ships.

To describe it, for example, when compared with the enemy and us, Jian was Li Xiao's sixteen tigers and rushed into the 62 thin wolf of the Qing army.

Of course, if these thin wolves can use their numerical advantages, adopt the "five-point plum blossom"-style tactics commonly used by the navy, and concentrate their forces to defeat the enemy separately, they will still have a chance of winning. However, Ban Zhifu, who is now proud and determined to end the battle as soon as possible, is obviously not as complicated as he thinks.

He arranged all sixty-two ships into V shapes and rushed towards Li Xiao's fleet. His intention was very obvious, so he would do his best to eat Li Xiao's fleet.

Feng Shi, the navy chief who saw the enemy's intentions clearly from the Qianli Miles Miles, showed a contemptuous sneer on his face, and then ordered the fleet to be placed in a column, and headed with the Shenglong, and rushed towards the enemy command ship at the end of the V-shaped end of the enemy's army.

With fifteen ships, the Shenglong, which rushed straight like an arrow from the string, the wind was strong and sailed forward, and rushed towards Ban Zhifu's command ship.

Seeing that the ship was 232 feet long (about 70 meters), with four masts, each mast reaching a height of 10 feet, with two layers of gun decks, and hundreds of giants on its body, it was obviously smaller than a circle of the No. 1 Fu Ship, which had only dozens of guns, attacked in such a fierce manner. Ban Zhifu, who was originally standing proudly on the bow of the ship to watch the battle, changed his face in an instant.

"Hurry, stop them!"

Ban Zhifu shouted in dismay, commanding the ships on both wings and quickly headed towards the Shenglong double-team.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

When the Qing army ships that were coming from the double-teamed team were about 200 steps away from themselves, seventeen eighteen-pound cannons and twenty-three thirty-two-pound cannons were fired on the full gun decks on both sides of the Shenglong.

Amid the deafening sound of cannons, the black-hole guns of each cannon spewed out red flames, and dozens of black iron bullets of varying sizes rushed towards the enemy ships that were crossing over.

A No. 2 lucky ship on the left was hit by more than ten shells, the mast was broken, the sails fell into the sea, the side of the ship was blown up, and several large and small cannons on the side of the ship were lifted up high by a huge impact force into mid-air, and then fell on the deck, smashing the gunners and sailors who could not dodge into meat pie.

At the draught of the boat, it was also hit by artillery. Several sudden holes appeared suddenly and were shocking. The entire ship began to enter the water quickly and gradually tilted to the side that was shot. It seemed that it would not take long before the ship would completely overturn.

On the right is a smaller Haicang ship. A huge 32-pound iron bullet penetrated the trunk and penetrated directly from the other side, leaving a shocking hole in the center of the hull. An 18-pound iron bullet completely knocked out the first chamber of the cabin. The entire ship immediately lost the helm control and began to circulate blindly in the sea like a toy, gradually being pushed away by the ocean current.

"Haha, I have tasted the power of my Dutch naval ships. Come on, this is just an appetizing dessert before the meal." Joseph, the deputy chief of the navy who was operating the Shenglong, laughed loudly, and directed his gunners and seamen to adjust the angle and position of the gun, and then attacked other double-teamed ships.

The other Li Xiaojun ships in the Yizi Column also opened fire, fighting each other while maintaining their formation, and injuring or sinking the ships that were double-teamed.

Everyone in Li Xiao’s army could see that the battlefield advantage of this naval battle was quickly tilted towards himself.

Seeing that the naval battle had quickly gained the upper hand, Li Xiao was also very happy. He suddenly remembered the naval battle tactics summarized by the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Dayou based on his years of experience in naval battles. In short, "The method of naval battle is to use a large ship to defeat small boats, and a large gun to defeat small guns; use a large ship to defeat few ships, and use a large gun to defeat few guns."

Now, except for the number of ships in Li Xiaojun is less than that in the enemy, the rest of the other aspects, such as ship tonnage, ship speed, artillery firing rate, artillery range, etc., are all huge advantages. In this way, it is not surprising that Li Xiaojun has the advantage in this naval battle.

In order to end the naval battle before dark as soon as possible, Li Xiao decided to capture the thief and capture the king first.

That is, kill the enemy's command ship first with all your strength.

In this way, the remaining enemy ships will have no leader, and their combat power will be greatly reduced and they will be able to defeat them one by one.

The Shenglong was like a tiger breaking into a wolf pack. It had a strong body and firepower. After sinking the four ships that were double-teamed or injured, it was only a short distance from Ban Zhifu's command ship.

"Quick, be sure to stop the enemy ship!"

Ban Zhifu, who was standing at the head of the command ship, shouted loudly with panic on his face. The soldiers beside him heard the order and tried desperately to whisper the flags to the ships on both sides.

Joseph saw from the Mile Mile Mile Mile that the guy who was wearing good armor on the command ship and shouting forehand was probably the enemy's commander. A sinister sneer suddenly passed through his face.

"The head of the ship is seven sixty-pound giant cannons, and they are equipped with shotguns! Attack the enemy's command ship with all their strength!"

Joseph shouted at the gunners.

A group of gunners rushed to the giant cannon position at the head of the ship, and immediately began to load the seven sixty-pound cannons at the head of the Shenglong ship, loading gunpowder into the huge black hole mouth and shotgun particles composed of scattered iron beads and gravel.

Only about one hundred steps away from the enemy's command ship, all seven giant cannons were ready.

"ignition!"

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

The smoke of seven sixty-pound giant cannons was flying like a flying red cloth, and the tongue of death licking blood. Several 7 sixty-pound cannons were fired at the same time. In the thick smoke of gunpowder, countless shotguns roared out of the muzzle.

Some of these lead balls of iron sand, as thick as thumb or little fingers, are still shotguns made of sharp stones. They fly in the sky with a terrifying roar, and are densely packed like heavy rain of iron stones, sweeping towards the enemy command ships less than a hundred steps away.

In fact, the effective attack distance of the shotgun is within sixty steps, but the intensive attack of seven 60-pound cannons still caused the personnel on the enemy ships that were nearly one hundred steps to be tragic attacks.

Every gunner could clearly hear the continuous tragic sounds sounded violently on the enemy command ship opposite, and blood and minced meat splattered everywhere. The entire command ship's side and deck were sprayed with dark red blood and colorful human tissues. The entire ship was only like a slaughterhouse in hell, extremely bloody and terrifying.

Standing at the head of the ship, Shen Zhifu, from head to toe, was covered with dense thick blood holes all over his body!

He blew up from the bow of the ship in a parabolic manner, and he rushed up to the back deck without moving any more.

"Bansen leader!Bansen leader!"

The sailors on the Qing army command ship cried loudly, and then a large mate-shaped Qing army shouted loudly: "Ban Shenling is dead, hurry up, withdraw back to the ocean island!"

It's not that easy to run!

At this time, the seven sixty-pound cannons at the head of the Shenglong ship were fired in unison again. However, this time, the chain bullet was used to attack enemy ship sails.

The white canvas on the Qing army command ship was immediately covered with dense holes. The entire ship instantly lost the support of the wind and was caught up by the Shenglong behind.

"Surrender quickly can avoid death!"

Joseph ordered the sailors to send flags to surrender to the enemy ships. The enemy ship, which was already unmovable on the sea, finally fired the white flag helplessly.

The Shenglong immediately boarded the board with it, and a large number of energetic auxiliary soldiers rushed onto the enemy ship with swords and took over the driving rights.

Seeing the enemy command ship surrender, Li Xiao's army's morale was greatly boosted, and he immediately attacked and chased the Qing army ships with low morale and terrified spirits. In less than half an hour, the remaining Qing army fleets had no motivation or courage to fight and all rushed out white flags to surrender.

As the sunset completely settled and the sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, these battles on the seas near the ocean island finally ended with Li Xiao's army's complete victory.

In this battle, Li Xiao's army sunk eleven enemy ships, injured 16, and killed Ban Zhifu, the chief general of the enemy naval division. Li Xiao ordered to give up seven seriously damaged ships among the injured ships. The final statistics were 44 Qing naval ships, which were captured by himself.

All of these ships have sent auxiliary soldiers and sailors to take over the piloting rights of the captured ships.

Li Xiao's sixteen ships, only one of the smallest armed light warships in the Eagle Strike-class armed light warships, was unfortunately hit by the Qing Navy's naval division, and then sunk and overturned. Another Tiger Strike-class ship and an Eagle Strike-class ship were slightly injured. Of course, Li Xiao's losses were extremely minor compared to the Qing Navy's navy.
