After the sharp iron hammer weighing more than 20 kilograms was fired out by a powerful crossbow, the destructive power was extremely amazing. Every time he hit, a big hole would be dug in the Fuyuan. In less than a stick of incense, the left side of the Fuyuan, which was not suppressed by the thunder fire, was already covered with scars. The sea water poured in, and the hull was deviated to the port side.

When Fan Xin saw the hope of sinking Fuyuan, he was overjoyed. He waved his flag and issued orders to his subordinates. The three small warships were like blood-devouring hyenas, patrolling around Fuyuan. He took the opportunity and pounced on him and bit him.

Half of the warships had been replaced with thick crossbow arrows. After all, it was not easy to carry heavy weapons like pointed hammers. Each warship was not equipped with many, unlike crossbow arrows. However, the powerful crossbows fired from the warships were all rockets, with burning crossbow arrows shot on the ship gang and on the ship tower, and a raging fire suddenly ignited on the Fuyuan.

Ma Zhendong stared at the small warships that appeared around him like butterflies. They were fast and flexible in turn. The Fuyuan, which was half less than the thunderbolt fire, could not form long-range suppression. The sparse stone bomb attack made the opponent easily avoid it, while the crossbows on the warship could not play their advantage at this distance.

"Fire chain bullets with a powerful crossbow." He sternly said.

Four powerful crossbows were dragged out and fixed on the side of the ship. The chain blast was loaded into the modified powerful crossbow chute. With the sound of collapse, a black ball flew out first and suddenly stretched out in the air. Two iron balls were connected by a long chain, roaring in the air, rotating and flying towards the small warships around.

The chain blast swept across the hull of the warship, whether it was a person or other objects, and was instantly cut into two pieces. The thick mast was wrapped around the iron chain in the middle of the chain blast. In everyone's fearful eyes, it clawed from the interruption to two pieces and fell heavily into the sea.

The four chain bombs had a gratifying result, which made the two small warships lose their ability to move in an instant, and they were spinning around the sea. The Fuyuan waved like a monster, ruthlessly crushing the two small warships that were moving hard into the sea.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sailor jumped into the sea to escape desperately waved his arms and tried to stay away from the Fuyuan, but the crossbow machine on the Fuyuan that had never had the opportunity to exert its power suddenly rang out at this time. In the rain of linoleum arrows, blood bubbles suddenly appeared on the sea surface.

The officers and soldiers on the Fuyuan cheered loudly, but Ma Zhendong frowned. Although he killed two, the loss was completely insignificant for dozens of enemy warships. The situation of his warship was already very critical. At present, he did not have a good way to get rid of the predicament in front of him.

The speed of the Fuyuan was getting slower and slower, and the hull was tilting more and more severely. This seriously affected the shooting of the two thunder fires on the starboard side, and the accuracy became worse and worse.

A loud bang came, and the Fuyuan suddenly came over the loud noise, and the entire hull almost moved across the sea. Ma Zhendong felt cold inside. The main rudder of the warship was destroyed by the enemy. Fuyuan has now become a huge target on the sea.

I am really going to become the first Ming warship to be sunk by the enemy. A huge sense of shame fills Ma Zhendong's heart. Even when the Ming warship was participating in the large-scale Naval Battle of Manila, it was not sunk by one. However, in the current situation, I seem to be unable to escape this fate.

Fan Xin was so happy that he almost jumped up. The warship he controlled himself was always looking for such an opportunity. After several attempts, he finally succeeded. The Fuyuan is now extremely moving.

"Don't get close to Fuyuan, use crossbow arrows, set fire, and burn them to death." He waved the flag excitedly and gave orders to his subordinates.

The rock bullets in the sky, the chain bullets fly around and fall into the sea, stirring up huge water columns, and occasionally hit an enemy warship, while the enemy's rockets can almost hit the hull of the Fuyuan.

The form is extremely dangerous.

Ma Zhendong now regrets abandoning the four small boats on the warship. If this is not the case, he can still take people on the small boat to fight the enemy to death.

"Prepare to fight to the death. The ship is there, and the ship is dead!" Ma Zhendong pulled out his sword and roared.

"Wolf smoke, general, wolf smoke!" A soldier suddenly roared loudly at the top of the battleship. Ma Zhendong's body was greatly boosted and he suddenly turned around. In the southwest direction, two thick wolf smokes were rising straight into the sky. After a moment, two black dots appeared in the field of vision. The black dots expanded rapidly, and the huge bodies of the Zhongping and Yongping appeared in the distance.

On the Fuyuan, the officers and soldiers cheered in unison, and their reinforcements finally appeared at the most critical moment.

Fan Xin cursed loudly on the warship angrily, and the appearance of two more Ming warships meant that he failed. He originally wanted to capture the captain on the warship alive after the Ming warship in front of him sank. Even if he took a corpse back, it would be a brilliant victory for the Qi Navy.

Now this dream has failed.

In his experience, the sinking of Fuyuan was inevitable, but the captain who could not capture the other side alive had some small regrets.

"Retreat, the whole army retreat!" He waved his flag and issued an order to retreat. The warship rowed a small circle and turned around and fled to the distance. Fan Xinji looked back at the Fuyuan, which was still burning. Now it was his turn to escape. If he was blocked by the other two new warships, he would not be able to escape.

In this battle, he paid the price of ten warships sunk by the Fuyuan, killing and injuring more than 200 people. He sank the Fuyuan, the third-layer battleship of the Ming Dynasty. This can definitely be regarded as a victory.

In Laizhou, Crab Bay Navy Base, Cao Yun was originally planning to leave after inspecting the place, but he delayed his trip because of this sudden storm and had to stay for one more day. Overall, Cao Yun was quite satisfied. Ning Zefeng, who had spent a huge price to get back, did not disappoint the efforts of the Qi people. The Qi Navy has already taken shape.

What made Cao Yun even more happy was that Ning Zefeng had a clear mind, could correctly judge the advantages and disadvantages of both parties, recognize his own shortcomings, and formulate corresponding response plans, which was very rare. Being able to find problems and find solutions to problems is not something that can be done by just one person.

The Navy is an extremely important part of Qi's future military, and Cao Yun was reluctant to worry. The Ming people have shown their great power over the Navy. If Qi does not have a corresponding way of dealing with it, the future battle will definitely be extremely passive.

"The storm on the sea is really unpredictable. It was originally bright and sunny, but in the blink of an eye it was the power of thunder. Ning Zefeng, is the loss of the base great?" Cao Yun asked worriedly at the base that seemed a little dilapidated because of a storm.

"Don't worry, the Navy Base is in Crab Bay, and it is less impacted by the wind and waves. We also have corresponding response plans. This is a common occurrence on the sea. With this natural harbor, we suffer very little losses and will recover soon." Ning Zefeng said disapprovingly. In the past, the Ning family's Navy Base was located on the island. If it encounters such a big storm, it would be a heavy loss. Now this matter is not a loss at all.

"Very good. If you do things, don't worry, the Great Qi Navy will give you the right to see you. I hope to see that you can come up with some results as soon as possible, so that the people and civil and military officials in the court can understand that our huge investment in the Navy is worth the money." Cao Yun said.

"Yes!" Ning Zefeng bowed and said that he had not yet straightened up, and the sound of bells and drums suddenly came from the towering tower in front of Crab Bay.

"Enemy attack?" Cao Yun frowned slightly.

Ning Zefeng listened with his ears. After a while, as the sound of bells and drums on the tower changed, he relaxed, as he was a little nervous, "Your Majesty has no worries, this is our warship that is traveling outside. It's such a big storm yesterday, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot."

"I hope the soldiers are safe." Cao Yun, who had seen the power of the sea, felt the same.

The sound of bells and drums was still ringing. Ning Zefeng, who had no longer cared about it, looked more and more happy. He suddenly turned his head to look at the sea in the distance and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the bells and drums are spreading good news. Our warships traveling outside have won a great victory on the sea."

When Cao Yun heard this, he was also surprised and said, "Has he achieved a big victory?"

"Yes, a big victory." Ning Zefeng nodded affirmatively: "This time it was Fan Xin who led the team out. He is a veteran of the sea. This time he led the team out, originally wanted to hone the new recruits, but it seems that they have gained unexpectedly."

As he spoke, nearly twenty warships appeared on the sea and quickly approached the Crab Bay.

"Thirty warships attacked, and less than twenty after they came back, it seems that they must have encountered the main warships of Mingren!" Ning Zefeng murmured. "Great victory? Could it be that they sank the main warships of Mingren?"

Listening to Ning Zefeng's murmuring, Cao Yun was overjoyed: "Hurry, order that Fan Xin come to see me."

Fan Xin never expected that when he returned from a great victory, the emperor happened to be at the navy base, and his record instantly reached Tianting.

"Report to Your Majesty, our Great Qi Navy sank the main battleship Fuyuan of the Ming people." Fan Xin knelt on one knee in front of Cao Yun, "Our warships lost twelve ships, and 216 soldiers were killed."
