Zheng Zhilong, 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.

This behavior was clearly seen by Feng Shi, the head of the Tang Army Navy, from the Qianli Miles. This guy who was wearing good armor and dancing forehands and shouting was probably the enemy's commander.

If you meet me, you are unlucky!

A sinister sneer suddenly appeared on Feng Shi's 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!" Feng Shi 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, Zheng Zhilong was covered with dense thick blood holes from head to toe!

He blew up from the bow of the ship like a hurricane blown by a shotgun, and he pounced on the back deck in a parabolic manner.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes were wide open, and he kept making a lot of blood gushing out of his mouth. He was covered with nearly hundreds of bullet holes, as if he was like a bloody man. After a violent convulsion, he no longer moved.

"Zhennan Hou!"

"General Zheng!"

"Head of Zheng!"

The sailors on the Zheng army command ship cried loudly, and then a model-shaped officer of Zheng army shouted loudly: "The Marquis of Zhennan is dead, hurry up, retreat to Penghu!"

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 Zheng army's 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!"

Feng Shiling's sailors used flags to make the enemy ships surrender. 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, the morale of the Tang army fleet was greatly boosted, and they immediately attacked and chased the Zheng army ships with low morale and terrified spirits. In less than half an hour, the remaining Zheng 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, the battle on the sea near the Penghu Islands finally ended with the Tang army's victory.

In this battle, the Tang army sunk eleven enemy ships, injured 16, and killed the enemy naval chief Zheng Zhilong. Feng Shi ordered the abandonment of seven seriously damaged ships among the injured ships. The final result was that more than 40 Zheng army naval ships of all sizes were captured by themselves.

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

The Tang army had more than 40 ships, only three of the smallest Eagle Strike-class armed light warships, who were unfortunately hit by the Zheng army's naval division, and then sunk and overturned. Two other Tiger Roar-class ships and one Eagle Strike-class ship were slightly injured. Therefore, the losses of the Tang army were extremely minor compared to the Zheng army's naval division.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers of the entire army, Feng Shi ordered that all the ships go straight to Penghu and surrounded the Zheng army, who had become a turtle in the jar, in a group.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong, the garrison general of the Zheng army, who had been watching the battle on the beach, witnessed the defeat that stunned him with his own eyes in the Qianli Mile Mile Mile.

His lips trembled, his face turned pale, and his whole face was twisted and deformed, and he shook as if he was uncontrollably.

Our army was really defeated like this?

Sixty-two warships in the area fought against only more than forty Tang army warships, but they were quickly destroyed?

Although I had expected it, when I saw this result, Zheng Chenggong still felt a strong sense of incredibility in his heart, and he was extremely concerned about his father's safety.

Until night fell, when the Tang army gathered the surrendered Zheng army ships and were still coming towards Penghu in a mighty manner, Zheng Chenggong sighed and slowly lowered the Qianli Mile Mile in his hand. Two lines of hot tears slowly fell in his stunned eyes.

It was over, the entire army was wiped out, and it seemed that my father either died in battle or was captured.

However, according to his father's nature, he would not surrender at the last minute. The greater possibility is that he has already died in the battle.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong burst into tears.

However, Zheng Chenggong quickly woke up from the sorrow of his father's death in battle and quickly thought of a more serious and realistic problem.

If my father dies in battle, what should I do next?

Now, the night is already drowsy, and Zheng Chenggong doesn’t have to worry about the Tang army landing in the dark, but what about tomorrow?

What to do tomorrow?

After dawn tomorrow, I will be like a turtle in a jar and the troops of only thousands of subordinates on the Penghu Islands, who will really defeat the Tang army, whose morale is so strong that the entire fleet will arrive?

For a moment, Zheng Chenggong's mind was confused.

Zheng Chenggong, who was in a state of dismay, had no idea how he returned to the military tent with his beloved general Gan Hui.

After getting into the stake, Zheng Chenggong had a puppet, motionless, as if he had never come back to his senses from the battle he had just witnessed.

"Criminal, the situation is like this now, so there is no need to be too sad." Seeing his appearance, Gan Hui couldn't help but persuade him.

Zheng Chenggong glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

"General, although our army has been surrounded by Tang army and trapped in Penghu, according to the following point of view, there is no room for anything to turn around." Gan Hui took a step closer and said to Zheng Chenggong in a low voice.

After Gan Hui said this, Zheng Chenggong trembled slightly. He turned his head and looked at Gan Hui with an extremely complicated look.

Gan Hui also nodded slightly to him with a deep look.

After eye contact, both parties have already understood the other party’s intention.

"Gan Hui, what are your plans, but you can just say it." Zheng Chenggong's voice was very low.

As soon as he finished his words, Gan Hui thrust and knelt on the ground.

"Criminal, our army is in Penghu, the navy has been destroyed, and foreign aid is difficult to help. There are only thousands of soldiers on the island. How can our army stop us when the Tang army attacks with such strong force? In this way, our army can immediately take advantage of the Tang army not yet officially attacking the island, and we can immediately surrender to Tang to serve in order to protect the lives of the remaining soldiers of our army!" Gan Hui said tremblingly.

Zheng Chenggong's heart trembled, but his expression was still indifferent, as if he had not heard what Gan Hui said.

"Criminal, I'll say something to kill my heart. Now we have no room for bargaining. Whether Zhennan Hou was killed in battle or captured, we can only put this matter aside and surrender to the Tang army honestly. This is the only feasible move. Besides, it is all a dead end. If the crown prince insists on fighting against the Tang army, I'm afraid that the Zheng family's foundation will be destroyed!" Seeing that Zheng Chenggong refused, Gan Hui sobbed and said in a low voice.

Zheng Chenggong looked painful, his brows frowned, tears in his eyes, but a layer of gray was covered with his face. He sighed softly and finally whispered, "If the father had listened to me, how could he end up like this? But my Zheng family's foundation for a lifetime ended like this."

"Criminal, now the Tang army is surrounded by islands on all sides, and our army has become a turtle in the jar. After dawn tomorrow, it will be obvious whether to win or lose. If you don't make a decision, you may have any unpredictable worries. From the bottom, if you want to save the lives of our soldiers, you must immediately surrender to the Tang army. This is the only way to survive." Gan Hui said hurriedly.

Zheng Chenggong stood up and walked slowly to the window. He said for a long time: "Oh, the situation is stronger than others, so I can't do it anymore. In your opinion, immediately order the troops on the island. Tomorrow morning, the whole army will go to the beach and surrender to the Tang army."

"Get orders!"

When a bloody sun jumped out of the sea level, darkness quietly escaped, and a faint mist surged on the dark blue sea surface. For a moment, the entire coastal area of ​​Penghu was like a dream.

In this dreamy scene, more than 500 Tang army ships finally arrived outside Penghu together. Then the ships docked, and a large number of Tang army soldiers disembarked along the gangway of the ship and landed.

Afterwards, more than 10,000 vanguard soldiers were transferred from the third town. Under the leadership of the town mayor Li Dingguo, they lined up ashore and soon formed an orderly battle formation on the beach, with iron armor and swords and guns dazzling, full of solemn and majestic momentum.

At this time, Li Dingguo, the owner standing on the beach, looked full of smiles.

He saw that at this moment, there were brigades of Zheng troops on both camps in the island, lined up empty-handed with white flags and slowly walked towards his army formation.

"Mayor Li, I didn't expect that our army won the naval battle yesterday, and the enemy was brave enough, and today they all came to surrender." Feng Shi, the deputy chief of the navy, was also full of joy.

Li Dingguo raised his head and laughed: "This shows that they are still quite conscious of the current affairs. Now that our army's north and south fleets have arrived together, they have surrounded the entire Penghu like an iron barrel. If we dare to resist stubbornly, our army will attack in two places. These Zheng troops will definitely be buried here, and no one can escape."

Soon, Li Dingguo smiled because he saw that in the opposite army, two military generals dressed in front of him, they should be the chief defender on the island.

Last night, the prisoners were interrogated. Li Dingguo knew that the highest commander garrisoned on the island was Zheng Chenggong and the deputy commander was Gan Hui. Now he thought secretly that these two military generals who came should be Zheng Chenggong and Gan Hui.

About five steps away from Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and Gan Hui led a group of subordinates to kneel down.

"The sinner Zheng Chenggong did not recognize the power of the Heavenly Army, which is really unforgivable. Now the sinner has commanded the remaining troops on the island. He is willing to sacrifice the merits of Penghu and the defenders, and ask Mayor Li to allow our troops to join the Tang army and serve the Tang King."

Zheng Chenggong shouted this sentence loudly to Li Dingguo, then held his hands high and knelt down, kowtowing three times on the ground.

Li Dingguo quickly stepped forward and quickly helped him up. At this time, the two eyes met again. Under Li Xiao's burning gaze, Zheng Chenggong turned his face awkwardly.

"Mayor Li..."

"No need to say more. Yesterday's battle was a small conflict between the two armies. It would be a great achievement if you don't follow your father's old path and lead your troops to fight in time to avoid a fight." Li Xiao said slowly, and then gently patted Zheng Chenggong on the shoulder, which made Zheng Chenggong feel even more inexplicably hot on his face, but tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong was beaten to death by the Tang army in the battle yesterday evening, but now, no matter how sad he feels, he can only say nothing more.

After all, now I have become the fish on the anvil of Tang Jun. I have to resist stubbornly, but I have no good results to eat.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong sighed inwardly and bowed: "Mr. Father, who doesn't know the current situation, and he fights with the sky for such an end. Even if I feel sad, I can say more. Besides, on the battlefield, there is no sight of swords and guns, and Father, who is killed in it, is the destination of the general."

Li Dingguo nodded, patted his shoulder again, and encouraged him: "It's great that you have such a successful understanding. I believe that the King of Tang will definitely be particularly kind to your Zheng family and will not bear the previous grudges. I hope that after you join our army, you must serve the King of Tang well and not have any unfair intentions."

Zheng Chenggong said repeatedly: "I will definitely serve the King of Tang to death, and I will never be able to do anything. I hope Li Zhen can rest assured."

Li Dingguo smiled and said again: "Successful, now Penghu has been decided. The 150,000 troops gathered by the Zheng army in Jinxia have become turtles in a jar, and there is no possibility of escape. This town is wondering, you are the son of the Zheng family and have a respectable status. Can you come forward and go to Jinxia to persuade these troops to surrender. If you can succeed, you can avoid fighting and save the lives of many soldiers of the Tang and Zheng army, and you can make greater contributions. From then on, you will be more respected by the King of Tang and the Zheng family's property and titles can be better protected."
