337 This is the end

When the Ming army on the top of the city began to shout, they ran around like headless flies. The fleeing soldiers, especially the Korean sailors, immediately knelt on the beach honestly.

At the beginning, the officers would urge and persuade those who were kneeling to not allow them to surrender, and let them follow them to Jianlu camp to be safe.

The reactions of the North Korean sailors vary.

Some are very obedient, and when the officer says it, they run away again; some are disobedient, and when the officer says it, they get up and run away, and when the officer runs, they kneel down and surrender again; some even the officers don’t run away after they say it. There are all kinds of things.

It is a bit ironic to say that the Ming army shouted to surrender at the top of the city wall to not die. Logically speaking, those fake Tartars who were originally Dongjiang Army would not be even more disgusted with surrender. However, in reality, most of the people who surrendered on the beach were Korean sailors.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the chaos outside the city, frowned, and changed his order.

So, the Ming army on the top of the city shouted loudly and conveyed the new military order of the Governor.

Capturing officers who do not surrender will not only avoid death, but also be able to reward them with the revenge of the Ming Dynasty. If the people led by the rebel general Shang Kexi and the North Korean navy commander Park Jin-woo will be rewarded even more.

Shang Kexi, who was on the Jianlu Navy flagship, was already a little overwhelmed when he saw the collapsed army.

He knew in his heart that Huang Taiji asked him to command such a huge navy, but when he was going to fight to the death, he fled. After he went back, he would definitely be punished. Maybe it would be possible to be beheaded in anger!

But if you don’t escape, where can you go?

When Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it was a letter of surrender. Not only did it take the navy, but it also looted all the Ming army and Han people on the coastal islands to the Qing Dynasty. When the governor of Baoding called out, he never thought that he would be in the current situation and went straight back. If he surrendered to the Ming army, he would definitely not have a good end.

Seeing him dazed there, Xu Erxian was anxious and shouted to him: "Prince, if you don't run away, the Ming Dynasty Navy is coming!"

When Shang Kexi heard this, he came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Where can I go? I have nowhere to go now! I..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. Later, he held the hilt of the knife in his hand and tried hard to pull it out several times, but gave up several times.

Seeing him like this, Xu Erxian immediately understood that the prince wanted to commit suicide, right?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became anxious. Even if the sky fell, there would be a tall man who had to hold on to him!

So Xu Erxian immediately rushed over, grabbed Shang Kexi's hand, ran to the side of the boat, and said, "Prince, keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood! There is no Qing Dynasty who understands sea battle better than the prince. The emperor will never give up on the prince..."

When Shang Kexi heard what he said, he would have thought that he was right in the past, but at this moment, he felt that he was harsh. He knew better about naval battles, and how could he fight like this?

However, Xu Erxian's words "Keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood" made him agree.

In fact, if Shang Kexi was not afraid of death and dared to commit suicide, he would not have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. You must know that he had a deep feud with the Qing Dynasty at that time. But in the end, in order to survive, he not only surrendered to his enemies, but even brought a bloody meeting gift.

"...Prince, this battle is not the fault of the prince." Xu Er obviously knew Shang Kexi and knew what he was worried about, so he continued to persuade, "It was all the North Koreans who killed them and fled, so that the entire army collapsed! This matter is that the prince can have something to say wherever the emperor."

With the scapegoat, things will turn around. Shang Kexi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, if I had enough time to rectify the North Korean navy, this would definitely not happen. It was all that Park Jin-woo, who made the war fall so badly!"

After finding the reason, Shang Kexi immediately became energetic. He shook Xu Erxian's hand away and began to "retreat" quickly.

Just as he ran away, he suddenly found that the North Korean naval commander Park Jin-woo was also running away. Suddenly, his eyes turned and immediately shouted: "General Park, don't panic, wait for me!"

Park Jin-woo also criticized Lu Xiangsheng before, so he would not surrender. He was running away when he heard Shang Kexi's shouting and had to stop, a little reluctant.

Shang Kexi winked at Xu Erxian, then ran to Park Jinyu and stood still. Just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly changed. He pointed his finger behind Park Jinyu and asked in a voice: "What is that?"

Park Jin-woo thought of something wrong, so he quickly turned around and looked around. He didn't find anything. Anyway, it was all messy, and there were people running away everywhere.

After wondering, he turned around and asked, "What does the prince mean..."

As soon as he said that, he felt a severe pain coming from his stomach. At the same time, he saw Shang Kexi's face a little hideous.

He had no idea yet, so Shang Kexi pulled out the knife and kicked him over.

Seeing that Shang Kexi had taken action, his personal guards, including Xu Erxian, immediately attacked Park Zhenyu's personal guards who were unprepared.

"Why... why... why kill me?" Park Jin-woo looked upside down, blood flowing, and it seemed that it was no longer possible. But he was still unwilling to give up and forced himself to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shang Kexi held the blood-dropping knife, took two steps forward, bent down, and came to Park Zhenyu, and said with a grim smile: "You are interested in the Ming Kingdom, deliberately making a fool of yourself and exaggerating the words, not only affecting the morale of the army, but also indulging your subordinates to disperse. And you want to surrender to the Ming army while you are in chaos, but you are discovered by the king and killed on the spot!"

"You...you..." Park Jin-woo was so angry that he heard it. He had "you" twice in a row, but he still couldn't say it out. He was so angry that he opened his eyes wide and looked a little frightened, and he died!

When Shang Kexi saw this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, she cut off Park Jin-woo's head, and then hurriedly ran away.

At the sea, Zheng Zhilong was a little hesitant when he heard his subordinates ask for instructions on what to do.

The original plan was to block the Jianlu Navy in the harbor, then block it with artillery fire, and then burn it with fireboats. As a result, the battle has not been fought yet, and the Jianlu Navy's people jumped into the sea and ran away. Is it necessary to burn it with fireboats?

After seeing the situation on the beach, Zheng Zhilong finally made a decision and sent someone to board the boat to check each ship. When he encountered the remaining enemies, he would kill him if he did not surrender.

Although doing so may cause some casualties. But if so many ships are burned, even if Zheng Zhilong sees too many ships, he will feel that it is a pity. In addition, he guessed that no matter whether it is the Governor or the Emperor, he would want these ships.

So, after the military order was passed here, the Ming army warships began to send troops to search after approaching Jianlu warships. Anyway, they had no opponents on the sea.

The Tartars who built the camp of the barbarians never responded.

In their opinion, there should be a sea battle that we have never seen before. There were as many as two or three hundred warships on both sides, and a total of six hundred were rushed. All of them were watching such a large-scale naval battle.

As a result, no one expected that the naval battle would not be fought, and the navy, with more warships, collapsed directly!

After being stupid for a long time, they came to their senses. They were helpless in this, so they could only curse and relieve their depression.

"Dog slave, flee when he heard the news, and he still has the face to escape back?"

"All these people deserve to die, and they have lost the power of the Qing Dynasty!"

"We all say that North Koreans are the most incompetent. We can all break through North Korea at once. Just think about it and know that North Koreans can only be bad things and cannot be used at all!"

"There are those Han dogs who were originally cowards. Surrendering to our Qing Dynasty is still a virtue!"

"Actually, I have known that these Han dogs and Koreans are not available. They are all borers that waste food! Now, you're running away after hearing the news. How could I have had this situation in the Qing Dynasty? I'm so embarrassed!"

“…”

The condemnation of the Manqing Navy slowly rose to the point where he could calculate and finally got angry to kill these escaped soldiers who had lost all their faces.

"I actually have the face to escape back. I want me to say, just go to the right place!"

"Yes, the navy has no supervision team, we are the supervision team. Will they let them escape back and continue to waste food?"

"Kill them, kill them!"

“…”

Under the turmoil of the crowd, the Tartars in the Jianlu camp, facing the sailors who fled back to their camp from the seaside, not only did not send troops to respond, but instead wanted to kill them one by one. Moreover, they did start to do so.

Those who first ran to the gate of the camp in one breath had just breathed a sigh of relief, and before they could shout "Open the door", they were greeted by angry bows and arrows.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

“Ahhhh…”

Seeing his companions who were shot to death by his own people or were still struggling to death, the sailors panicked and retreated in a hurry while shouting, "Master, don't do it, it's your own people!"

However, they were greeted by more arrows shot at them, accompanied by angry shouts.

"Get back and fight with Minggou, dare to retreat and die!"

"The Qing Dynasty is not as cowards as you, and she has lost all the face of the Qing Dynasty. Go and die!"

“…”

If it was a land war, Jianlu would shoot and kill deserters and let them go back and fight, which would still be effective.

However, this is a naval battle. Everyone has fled back to the camp on the land, so there is still time to go back and fight again. No one of these Koreans and fake Tartars went back at all, but they just started to be out of the safe distance of the arrow. I wonder what to do?

Then, when he heard the shouts of the Ming army on the top of Lushun City, some of them didn't think about surrendering at first, and they also wanted to surrender to the Ming army. Otherwise, they might be shot to death by Jianlu!

The Tartars in the Jianlu camp were even more angry when they saw that the sailors did not return to the boat, but instead knelt outside the city of Lushun and wanted to surrender to the Ming army. Immediately, the gate of the camp opened wide and Jianlu came out in groups.

Seeing them coming in a fierce manner, this time, the sailors who stood there a little at a loss and didn't want to surrender to the Ming army, or the sailors who knelt on the ground and were ready to surrender to the Ming army, all jumped up, scattered, and ran around.

As a result, outside Lushun City, it was a mess.

On the sea, there were also Qing sailors jumping into the sea to swim up the shore, and countless heads rushed to the beach and ran around.

Among them, some knelt directly on the beach, some ran and ran. When they saw that Jianlu was actually chasing their accomplices in front of them, they were stunned again. After a moment of stunned silence, some turned around and ran to the beach, and some ran into the mountains and forests.

Countless Qing sailors are performing a headless fly, how they bump into each other!

At this time, to be honest, even Lu Xiangsheng, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, was a little stunned on the top of the city. He had never encountered such a war in his life. This... this seems to be more fun than playing house with a child, right?

Now that the city is so chaotic, Jianlu chases their own sailors everywhere. Whether they want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty or not, they all kill them when they see them. Lu Xiangsheng did not mean to send troops to rescue them. It was too chaotic outside the city, and he could not send troops to rescue them.

However, after Jianlu had killed him for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng came to his senses and asked the Ming army on the top of the city to shout, asking the soldiers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to return to the sea and surrender to the Ming Navy, so that they could avoid Jianlu's pursuit.

So, the headless flies outside the city seemed to have a direction and all ran towards the beach, faster than rabbits. As for weapons, they were too heavy and they were thrown all over the ground.

Shang Kexi, who had just escaped to the shore and breathed a sigh of relief, was stunned when he saw this situation. He believed that if he appeared in front of Jianlu, he would probably not have time to explain, and the angry Jianlu would be chopped into meat sauce. However, he could not escape back to the sea and could not surrender to the Ming army.

There was no choice but to take his personal guards into the mountains and forests.

This chaotic state was not until Daishan's messengers sent orders from the mountain to prohibit the massacre of fleeing soldiers, let go of a way and allow the navy soldiers to escape back, and ended.

It’s also a blessing that Dai Shan led the army, and his age and experience are there.

He was defeated without even fighting this cowardly naval battle. Of course, he was very angry and wanted to kill these deserters. But he was rational after all. If all these naval soldiers were killed, the Qing Dynasty Huishui knew that all the people who fought in the sea were dead, then he would really not be able to explain to Huang Taiji when he went back.

Even if Huang Taiji is angry and wants to execute all these deserters, he has to bring the people back.

It was this idea that Jianlu, who was chasing the deserters, finally stopped. However, among the deserters who did not want to surrender to the Ming army, actually died almost the same. The faster they fled, the closer they were to the Jianlu camp. Jianlu killed these deserters without any mercy at all. The pursuit without resistance was also a way to cause the greatest casualties.

The second naval battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, or the first large-scale naval battle, ended before the dramatic beginning!
