Zhang Gusheng led the fleet in front, while Qi Wei led more than thirty Tang-class warships to charge in formation.
In order to annihilate the rebel navy here and not give Li Jiuzheng a chance to defect to Jiannu, Zhao Lie transferred most of the Tang-class battleships in Jeju just to deal a fatal blow to the rebels.
The reason why Zhao Lie did not attack Shuicheng was that it was completely unnecessary to lose too many troops.
Li Jiuzheng could only escape by sea, otherwise he would starve to death in Shuicheng.
When he reached the sea, let him taste the power of the strongest navy in the East. sharp.
After the sound of drums dispersed the rebels' formation, Qi Wei led more than thirty Tang-class ships into the enemy's formation.
Each Tang-class battleship has fifty cannons, with eighteen-pound, twenty-four-pound, and thirty-two-pound cannons on each side.
Such firepower can only attack the rebels on a large Fuchuan of about 200 tons.
As well as more than a hundred tons of Haicang and smaller sand birds, they are simply invincible existences.
Under the pressure of the infantry, the rebel naval gunners also fired back with only a dozen twelve-pound and nine-pound Hongyi cannons and dozens of large French machine guns.
However, it did not cause much damage to the thick wooden planks of the Tang-class battleships.
At most, it caused some casualties to the Polu sailors and damage to the sail ropes.
Once the Polu army's artillery hits a rebel warship, the small ship will basically seep water and stagnate, and the larger ship will also be damaged and slowed down.
When more than thirty giants plowed through the rebel fleet, the sea was in a mess.
Thirty or forty rebel ships were paralyzed on the sea, and six or seven of them began to sink.
Some sailors Floating in the sea.
Broken ship planks, armor, and debris from the ship were floating on the sea.
It was extremely miserable.
Li Jiucheng didn't care about this.
At this time, whether more soldiers could be used more seriously by joining the slaves or bringing more gold and silver were secondary matters.
He only thought about one thing, rush out, rush out, and get out of this place alive.
Hell is winning.
After rushing out, whether to join the slaves or become a pirate will be decided later.
He ordered the ships to rush north.
The Polu army's warships started to take the lead two miles behind them, and they took their time.
The weather was clear and there was no rain or fog, so there was no need to worry about the rebel navy disappearing.
However, the speed of the ships on both sides was really very different.
Qi Wei and Zhang Gusheng slowed down the ship also to cool down the artillery.
Anyway, there is no rush, this is the end of Chen time and the days are still long.
Half an hour later, more than fifty Polu warships, large and small, were divided into two teams and fought back to the rebel fleet.
The old way, break through it.
With flowers blooming on both sides, the Polu army was not a long line, but divided into several large groups and rushed in from various places.
The roaring sound of artillery began to resound throughout the sea area again.
More than a thousand cannons roared one after another.
It was like one after another.
When it didn't stop, the nearby seabirds were frightened to death.
The rebel navy was terrified, fearing to be the next target.
They hid here and there, and there were even several incidents where their own ships collided with the warships of the Polu army.
Zhang Gusheng watched excitedly as the giant ships of the Polu Navy swept across thousands of troops and looked down upon everything.
To be honest, he had been looking after the family and nursing home in Shidao and had participated in few battles.
Now that he saw the unparalleled power of the Polu Navy, there was no need to mention the pride and sigh in his heart.
Qi Wei was much calmer.
He had already experienced several large-scale battles.
To be honest, Vice-President Qi was a little uninterested in facing the incompetent opponent of the rebel navy in front of him, just like an adult abusing a child.
No resistance at all.

Qi Wei used drums and flags to direct the ships to maintain this loose formation and bombard forward.
Deal the biggest blow to the rebel warships from all sides.
A projectile flashed past the left side of Li Jiuzheng's ship.
The black and red shadow made everyone's hearts tremble.
Fortunately, it plunged into a Haicang nearby.
The hundreds-ton large Haicang trembled painfully, and a huge hole appeared on the side.
The twenty-four-pound Tiago pellet caused a dense rain of wood chips that spread in all directions.
Wherever he went, he wounded all the sailors he encountered, and the sea immediately erupted in misery.
The distance between the two ships was only a few dozen steps.
The people on board Li Jiuzheng saw the tragic scene clearly.
The big hole caused by Tiago's cannon was extremely huge and irregular.
Fortunately, it was not on the waterline, but on the waterline. upper part.
The damaged Haicang can still sail, but most of the sailors have been damaged, making it difficult to move and starting to fall behind.
Everyone on Li Jiuzheng's boat turned pale and was extremely desperate.
They had never seen such a brutal artillery battle before.
This, this was too brutal.
They all have ghosts in their hearts.
Can they still rush out?
It seems impossible.
What should they do?
The navy of the Polu Army once again caused a mess and broke out of the formation.
They bravely ignored the consequences they caused and the desperate rebels behind them.
They drove five or six miles away and started to fight again.
At this time, anyone who is not mentally retarded will know that the Polu army intends to use this method to attack repeatedly until all the rebel warships are destroyed.
Is there any way to survive?
No wonder they were desperate.
This time, another forty or fifty warships, large and small, began to sink or circle on the sea.
In just two battles, the Polu Army navy caused hundreds of rebel warships to lose their combat effectiveness.
The rebels The army only has a few hundred warships in total, and this is the rhythm of killing them all.
There was indeed a way to survive.
Just as the rebels were panicking, a dozen clipper ships that had been watching from the sidelines approached.
Someone on the boat started shouting, "If you surrender, you will not be killed.
If you capture the rebel general, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.
If you capture Li Jiucheng, you will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver."
Immediately there were such shouts everywhere on the sea, it was like one after another.
Of course, the effect of the Polu Army shouting out at this time was different.
Two strikes completely destroyed the confidence of the rebel navy.
The Polu Army Navy was reorganizing its team and was about to attack again.
The shouting here was extremely coercive.
It's like a person holds a blunderbuss to his head and asks whether he will surrender.
Can he say no?
If he surrenders, there is still a way to survive.
If he doesn't surrender, he will have to make a new life in a minute.
This choice is so easy.
Anyone who is not mentally retarded will want to surrender. .

Immediately there were incidents on many ships.
The infantry and sailors who pressed the ship clashed with each other.
There were shouts of killing, the sound of firecrackers and screams mixed together.
It was such a chaos.
On some ships, the infantry had the upper hand.
The blood surged to their heads and killed most of the sailors who attacked them.
Then, no more, who was going to sail?
Some of these ships immediately began to walk across the sea.
The sailors of some ships made a successful sneak attack, killed the infantry, and immediately hung up the white flag with joy.
Damn it, they finally escaped and ascended to heaven.
Of course, some water infantry communicated happily and raised the white flag together.
The rebel navy on the entire sea was in chaos.
Many ships only focused on fighting and did not care about sailing at all.
The formation was in complete chaos.
Some were moving as usual, some scattered, and some stopped and lowered their flags.
Li Jiucheng was stunned when he saw everything in front of him, and completely lost control.
He looked at the people on his boat warily.
There must be someone here who wanted to capture him and receive the reward.
It was just a matter of whether he dared to do so.
Even his servants and bodyguards no longer felt reliable to him.
Although when he looked over, his servants still looked so submissive, Li Jiucheng never believed appearances.
Sun Yuanhua and You Shilu were ruined just because of their appearance, and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were sold out.
How could Li Jiucheng believe in people's faces?
What he always believed in was that money can move people's hearts.
Suddenly, a fierce conflict broke out on a nearby Fu ship on the right, and the sailors and infantrymen on the ship fought with each other.
There is a rebel guerrilla here, and this is also a reward of several hundred taels of silver.
The key is that after getting the reward, you can still have a way to survive.
Why not do it?
The sailors led by the bow of the ship launched a surprise attack.
Needless to say, the bow of this ship must have always been prestigious, the ship was larger, and there were many sailors.
They used military firecrackers, swords and guns to fight each other at the same time.
Even if the number of people was equal, the sailors had the upper hand.
It's very simple.
Many infantrymen were severely seasick on the undulating sea.
They could only manage to maintain their strength.
They could not use 50% of their 100% combat strength.
However, the sailors were really walking on flat ground.
When the two sides were equal in number, they would make a decision. .
Li Jiucheng watched the infantry gradually weaken, and his eyes were splitting.
He never expected that he would be in such a situation.
He was watching the situation on the boat attentively when two people suddenly rushed up and clamped him down.
Li Jiucheng turned around in horror and saw more than a dozen guards surrounding him, led by guard leader Yang Laoliu.
Two guards were tying him up with ropes.
Li Jiucheng struggled desperately and shouted, "Yang Laoliu, I, Li Jiuzheng, have waited for you very much.
I have never treated you badly in gold and silver.

Why are you betraying your master like this?"
"Bah, what you're waiting for for me is only two or three taels of silver per month.
Even though you and your son have hidden 300,000 taels of silver on this boat, what you're waiting for for me is nothing more than two or three taels of silver per month, but you're asking me to work hard for you and your son.
"Yang Laoliu spat, "That's all.
You can't offend anyone.
You actually provoked Zhao Lie, who is famous in the Ming Dynasty.
You are really asking for your own death.
You are seeking your own death.
Don't involve our brothers."
"Yang Laoliu, let me go.
Master, I will wait for you one hundred thousand taels of silver.
I will never break my promise."
Li Jiucheng saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly used his last resort.
"Bah, who dares to believe what you Li Jiucheng said?
You can leave your only son in Dengzhou and ignore me.
If you let me go, you can kill me and others."
Yang Laoliu is not stupid.
At this moment, the hatch was knocked open, and Zhang Chi, another guard leader, led some guards to block the hatch.
"Yang Laoliu, you are a seller seeking glory.
Release the marshal."
Zhang Chi shouted.
"Impossible, Zhang Chi, do you also want to sacrifice your life for this old dog?
Think about it carefully, this fleet can still rush out, you want to sink into the sea to feed the fish and shrimps."
Yang Laoliu saw Zhang Chi's number of people There are quite a few, so I don't dare to be careless.
It's best to talk reason and persuade Zhang Chi.
"Zhang Chi, I will reward you with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver for rescuing this master."
Li Jiucheng howled loudly when he saw the savior.
Zhang Chi and his group wanted to rush in, but Yang Laoliu and others resisted.
There were about the same number of people on both sides, and no one wanted to make the first move.
As a result, the two groups were in a stalemate.
After a stalemate for a while, the drums and trumpets of the Polu army's navy sounded in the distance, and dozens of warships regrouped and charged in.
Zhang Chi was so anxious that he said something that made others stunned. s: Thank you to friends who subscribed and rewarded in Chuangshi Bookstore, thank you
