While Li Bao and the Ming soldiers were fighting, the others on the ship were fighting with each other with their lives amid the violent explosions.

They were gradually covered with burning ships, and it was hard to tell whether they were from the Ming army or the Song army.

Many warships were burning violently, and thick black smoke covered the sky, so that the light that had just become bright could not break the thick dark curtain.

The cruelty of the war can't even be pierced by the sky, which shows that it is obvious.

After all, the Ming army navy fought with more and less. Song army warships were sunk one by one, captured one by one, and burned one by one. Song army sailors either died on the ship or in the water. Even worse, they died on the shore and were burned to death by fire.

The Ming army became more and more brave as they fought, and several ships surrounded a Song army warship, including the flagship where Li Bao was located.

The flagship slowed down because it crashed into a Ming army warship, and was soon targeted by more Ming army warships and approached. The Ming army warships rushed to fight against Li Bao's flagship, either surrounded or simply engaged in jump-and-go combat. More and more Ming soldiers rushed to Li Bao's flagship and fought to the death with the Song soldiers on the ship.

It can be said that these Song soldiers are brave and tenacious. They are tenacious fighting with more and more Ming soldiers, facing each other and never retreating. Their fighting power is also thrilling to survive.

Unfortunately, two fists could not match four hands. Faced with the increasing number of Ming soldiers, the Song soldiers gradually became exhausted and could not continue to fight, and died one by one in the end.

Either the chest was pierced, the body was cut off, or the head was chopped off, and his life was lost. In the end, the Song Bing on the flagship was wiped out, leaving only Li Bao, who was covered in blood, still fighting with a knife.

The Ming soldiers gradually surrounded Li Bao, who was fighting stubbornly. Li Bao ignored it and swung his sword to kill all the Ming soldiers around him. He slashed with one left and one right, roared until his throat was hoarse and exhausted.

In the end, Li Bao lost his strength to swing his sword. When the Ming soldiers saw his extraordinary outfit, they knew that this was a big fish, so they did not kill him, but surrounded him and tried to capture him alive.

The level of merit for killing an enemy general and capturing an enemy general alive is different, and everyone knows this.

Looking at the Ming soldiers surrounding him, Li Bao realized that all the soldiers around him had died in battle and that he was the last one.

Li Bao hated him deeply, was very sad, and blamed himself.

He hated the cruelty and cunning of the Ming army, was sad about the death of his subordinates in battle, and blamed himself for his incompetence.

If I could think more about it, notice the movements of the Ming army, and realize that the Ming army might have sneaked into the Dinghai Port from land to break the deadlock, perhaps the ending would not be like this.

But no matter how much you think about it now, it is useless. There is no if in the world.

The Mingzhou Navy was over, Suzhou Yangmen opened, Lin'an was in danger, the emperor was in danger, and the Song Dynasty was in danger, and whether this battle could be fought will become a question.

But he suddenly remembered that he had promised Yue Fei that no matter what, no matter how hard it was, no matter how difficult it was, he would kill the thieves for the country and do whatever it was.

But now, he is finally coming to an end.

The Yue family army no longer existed. The old subordinates were scattered, and they died and retired. After Yue Fei died, he was the only generals who remained in the army to serve in the army. If he ended, then the Yue family army would really never exist again.

Li Bao recalled his life with all kinds of emotions.

After a while, he sniffed, reached out to wipe his face, looked up at the Ming soldiers surrounding him, and listened to the sound of the flames burning wood in his ears.

He knew that these Ming soldiers wanted to capture him and make military achievements, but Li Bao would not be a prisoner of the Jin people back then, and naturally he would not be a prisoner of the Ming people now.

"I know what you want, but I didn't bow to the Jin thief back then, and now I won't bow to you. General Yue's subordinates have no cowards. I, Li Bao, have followed General Yue, so I am definitely not a coward!"

He shook his body, barely stood up, then leaned on the knife with both hands, and took a few breaths to make his breathing stable.

"Put down the knife!"

A Ming army officer roared angrily.

Li Bao glanced at him contemptuously.

"I said that I didn't bend my knee back then, and now I won't bend my knee back now. Please take my body and ask for me!"

Li Bao smiled coldly and committed suicide with a speed of lightning speed.

His movements were fast, so fast that even the soldiers closest to him had no time to stop him.

Li Bao's body shook a few times, then fell softly to the ground, twitched a few times, and never moved again.

Li Bao's death is of course the end of the annihilation of the Mingzhou Navy.

On the sea where black smoke covered the sky and the sun, the Ming army navy won a complete victory in the battle against the Song navy and destroyed the Mingzhou navy.

In this battle, the Ming army seized more than 110 Song army warships and captured more than 1,700 Song sailors.

It was April 10th. The Ming army had not yet fought the Yangtze River at this moment, and the navy had completely destroyed the main force of the naval naval division of the Southern Song Dynasty, opened the Suzhou Ocean Pass, and could directly threaten the Southern Song capital Lin'an.

However, considering that he only had 8,000 troops in his hands, this amount of force was of course a decisive victory in water battles, but it was slightly insufficient for land battles.

Despite this, if strategic deterrence can be achieved, it may be able to support the army's actions and make Song Ting's defense collapse faster.

He did it right away. After Kong Zhende won a complete victory, he rectified the army. On the morning of April 11, he led the main force of the navy to start heading towards Lin'an, preparing to give a strategic deterrence to the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the Mingzhou Navy was eliminated, the Ming army navy was unobstructed and unstoppable in the Suzhou Ocean area, and there was no need to worry about logistics issues.

First, they were on the water, and second, they captured Dinghai County by defeating the Mingzhou Navy. They also added a wave of food and fodder. Now they were fully fed, and they were ready to strive for another meritorious service.

Kong Zhende led the navy to advance all the way to Lin'an through Suzhou Yang. It was also the process of the destruction of the Song army's navy and the news of the opening of the water doors was constantly conveyed to Lin'an.

Both sides moved forward almost at the same time, Kong Zhende did not stop, and the messages did not stop passing through the station system.

So on the evening of April 12, the news that the Mingzhou Navy was wiped out and the Ming army's Navy won the victory was quickly sent to Lin'an.

On the morning of April 13, Kong Zhende led the main force of the Ming army's naval division to the Hangzhou Bay area and found a team of warships that Song Ting was preparing in the Hangzhou Bay area, as if it was intended to expand the navy's strength.

Of course, there is no need to say more. With Kong Zhende's order, the Ming army navy rushed forward and attacked in two-pronged approaches. It took an morning and one noon. The Ming army navy destroyed the new navy, which had about 200 warships, which had not yet been prepared.

The road to Lin'an suddenly became clear. As long as Kong Zhende was willing, he could lead the navy soldiers to land, go to Lin'an, and attack the imperial capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, this choice was not very real for Kong Zhende, because according to the information, the number of imperial guards in the three yamen in Lin'an was about 100,000, and he only had 8,000 sailors. If he dared to fight for the cavalry, he wouldn't let it go...

Despite this, he did not plan to sit here and wait for the Ming army to arrive. He decided to do something within his ability.

For example, by blocking Hangzhou Bay and capturing merchant fleets, they attacked the maritime commerce of the Southern Song Dynasty, obstructed the maritime trade operations of the Southern Song Dynasty, and thus attacked the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, Jiaxing Prefecture, north of Hangzhou Bay, was an important salt-producing area in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The sailors could not confront the 100,000 imperial guards in Lin'an, but attacking a Jiaxing Prefecture, destroying the salt-producing areas of the Southern Song Dynasty, and destroying the official salt system, could also gain a favorable position for private salt sales from the Ming Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty.

When the troops were stationed in Haizhou, Kong Zhende also heard that the Southern Song Dynasty restricted the import of private salt from the Ming Dynasty by attacking the Chuzhou private salt dealer group, which affected the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue. He was very dissatisfied with this and decided to take this opportunity to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty.

He did it right away. Kong Zhende first sent ships to block the way from the water to Lin'an from Suzhou Ocean, and then sent a fleet to search the entire Suzhou Ocean area and captured the merchant fleet of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the merchant fleet rushed up and captured it without saying a word, the people arrested it, and all the goods became spoils, in order to deter the maritime trade route of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, people were sent to several large salt fields along the coast of Jiaxing Prefecture to land, destroy, capture salt workers, and destroy institutions, thereby destroying the official salt system of the Southern Song Dynasty and facing the dilemma of lack of official salt.
