Chapter 440: Thunder Rescue


What surprised Chi Sheng was that the horizon was covered with white sails.

They were full of wind power and were riding the wind and waves towards the tiger's mouth at full speed.

In a short period of time, this huge fleet got much closer.

When he saw that they were all soft sails, Chi Sheng had already realized something.

When he saw the shape of the ship, he was sure that it was Denglai's ship.

Only Denglai Zhao Lie He knows that he has this kind of warship under his command.

When the flags with the characters "Denglai Dusi" and "Zhao" flying on the ships in front revealed the owner of the fleet, Chi Sheng suddenly burst into tears.

A thirty-year-old man's tears flowed freely.

He knew that Lushun He can be saved.

Zhang Pan, who was so kind to him, can be saved.

Chi Sheng wiped his face vigorously to wipe away the tears.

He quickly took a look at the situation and immediately ordered the three ships behind him to speed up and catch up with the six ships in front.

At this time, the six warships are clearing the way for their three fortune ships.

What is needed now is that the nine warships must work together to disperse the fireships at the mouth of the bay and allow Denglai's reinforcement warships to rush into the bay as soon as possible. , so that reinforcements can enter the crumbling Lushun City as soon as possible.

When these warships approached and were still three miles away from the entrance of the bay, Zhao Lie on the bow of the Li Ji was observing the situation at the mouth of the bay with a telescope.

He saw several ships flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty rushing to the mouth of the bay and fighting with the warships flying the flag of the Jiannu.

However, few sailors fell into the water on the warships of the Ming Navy.

They still drove the ships with full sails and drove the Jiannu fire ship that collided with the warships to the shore, so that the mouth of the bay was cleared.

Today, except for the three or two remaining kittens, the mouth of the bay is clean and the road ahead is wide open.

Seeing the actions of these Ming warships, although Zhao Lie admired their bravery, his heart sank.

Ordinarily, if Lushun was not in a critical situation, the Ming warships would not launch a suicidal attack.

This situation only shows that the city of Lushun may be in dire straits.

The Ming Dynasty Navy made this hopeless charge probably to reinforce the defenders in the city.

Zhao Lie immediately ordered the fleet of ten patrol boats ahead to charge into the formation.

We must attack the fireships opening the bay, and at the same time order the warships behind to rush into the bay at full speed.

Seeing the red eagle head on a black background rising from the Li Ji, all the patrol ships in front rushed forward like crazy.

This was an order urging them to move forward and fight to the death.

I really dare not disobey.

Less than a mile away from the mouth of the bay, the four leading patrol boats did not sail towards the mouth of the bay, but turned their bows north and south.

The forty artillery pieces on the sides of these four ships began to roar, and the dull sound echoed in the bay.

The remaining three or four fireships of the Jiannu Navy were immediately engulfed by the water column.

Then the two fireships were hit by several pellets, and the twenty-four-pounder and eighteen-pounder Tiago guns took the small fireships apart and almost tore them to pieces.

The six patrol ships behind them continued to move forward at full speed without stopping at all.

Everything at the mouth of the bay was handled by other warships.

Boom boom boom, the second round of strikes came, and the last fire ship also turned into pieces.

The sea at the mouth of the bay was littered with fragments of ship planks and human bodies.

On both sides of the bay mouth were the burning Ming army warships and the fire ships hanging on them.

They were all caught in the fire and thick smoke.

Several patrol boats broke into the bay regardless of these, and the city of Lushun was a few miles ahead.

The more than 20 Fu Chuan Haicang and other larger warships of the slave navy built in the bay were raising their sails to greet the patrol ship.

Liu Hui stood nervously on the large fortune ship and looked around.

He really couldn't think of anyone in the Ming army who had so many Western warships.

Could it be the Denglai army?

Zhao Lie of Denglai did have such a fleet of Western warships.

Of course the only navy in Jiannu knew about this situation, but how did they appear here.

This was incredible.

Liu Hui was still drawing his soul.

Several huge ships rushed in from the mouth of the bay.

The two largest ones were several times the size of his ship.

Each ship had several bulging sails carrying these huge ships.

The giant thing moved forward quickly.

Liu Hui's face changed drastically.

If there were several warships in front of him that were similar in size to his warships, he would still be able to hold on.

These ships did not require any boarding battles, and they could directly knock over his warships.

They were too huge to be true.

The problem is, there are battleships coming from behind.

I saw giant Xiyi ships rushing into the bay one after another.

There were only a few small sand boats among them, but these sand boats were more than half as big as the Fu boats that sat down.

Seeing this, Liu Hui already knew that the defeat was certain, and his men were determined not to be able to stop this huge Ming army fleet.

The only thing he could be thankful for was that he sent personnel to defeat Tuhai, who was commanding the siege in Nancheng, as long as Tuhai didn't use this as an excuse.

Liu Hui ordered all warships to meet the enemy.

He had to fight even though he knew he was outmatched, unless Liu Hui didn't want the lives of dozens of tribesmen in Liaodong.

Jiannu punished defecting soldiers extremely severely.

Even Jiannu's armored soldiers had to be beheaded.

As for the Han army, it goes without saying.

Shot to death, whipped to death, trampled to death by horses, hanged, the list goes on and on, and he has to fight.

The result was of course very cruel.

The ten smaller warships in front were not comparable to Liu Hui's warships.

These ten warships withstood two rounds of bombardment from more than twenty ships of the Jiannu Navy and suffered unworthy consequences.

After mentioning the minor damage, he turned the ship's bow and faced the enemy sideways.

Boom boom boom, hundreds of artillery pieces began roaring, shaking the bay and causing smoke to rise throughout the bay.

Almost all of the twenty or so Jiannu warships were hit by gunfire.

Except for the lucky ones, as long as they were hit by Tiago's can opener, they immediately caused a rain of wood chips on the deck, damaging everything they encountered.

Fortunately, Liu Hui's ship was not hit by the cannon, but now the naval commander of Jiannu was so shocked that he could not close his jaw.

He stared at the two huge irregular holes in the nearby warship with wide eyes.

The sea water was slowly moving.

Entering the bottom of the warship, the speed of seawater entering quickly accelerated.

After entering the cabin with a gurgling sound, Liu Hui knew that the ship was finished, and the sailors on the ship were jumping into the water crazily.

Boom boom boom, there was another boom, and Liu Hui's ship suddenly shook.

The force was so great that Liu Hui fell to the deck.

At this time, Liu Hui's armor was really crooked, he no longer looked like a general, he looked more like a deserter.

He managed to get up, hold on to the side of the boat, and looked to the side, only to see a huge hole in his boat.

It was in a good location, not close to the waterline, so not much sea water could get in.

Several Xiyi warships, which were much larger than the previous small boats, also joined in.

Boom boom boom, the sound of these artillery guns was much deeper and more powerful.

A Haicang ship on the left side of Liu Hui's ship was hit by two cannons.

The huge projectiles of the 36-pound Tiago cannon were not something this small warship could withstand.

The bow of this warship was hit by two projectiles.

After being knocked off, a large amount of sea water rushed in.

In an instant, the bow of the entire warship entered the water, and the hull behind was raised.

Then the middle of the hull was overwhelmed and suddenly broke, and the entire battlefield broke into several pieces and quickly sank into the sea.

While Liu Hui was still looking at the whirlpools on the sea and the struggling sailors in a daze, he felt the deck beneath his feet shake violently, and he was shot.

Liu Hui stumbled and lay on the deck.

Before he could recover, a projectile came straight from in front of him to the deck.

Liu Hui struggled hard to stand up, but the speed of the projectile was actually comparable to the speed of the commander, who was slightly fat.

This projectile smashed five people, including the commander and his four guards, into flying pieces of meat.

More than 20 ships were sunk or paralyzed at sea during the period of tea.

The water was littered with pieces of ship planks and human bodies.

The last navy of Jiannu was killed in the mouth of a tiger in Lushun City, and there was no more navy in Jiannu after that.

Melezhang Jingtuhai was standing at the head of the southern city of Lushun, commanding the troops to attack the city gate with high spirits.

It is said that the city gate should have been captured long ago.

After all, many Ming troops were immediately demoralized once the city was broken, and either fled or fled.

It was surrender, but the Ming army in Lushun City taught the arrogant Jiannujia soldiers a lesson.

The 600 strong soldiers who had been waiting in the center of the city launched an attack on Nancheng.

They used the narrow streets to fight and get entangled with the slave soldiers, and the battle became tense for a while.

This also supported the resistance of only a hundred Ming soldiers left near the city gate.

These soldiers were no doubt under Zhang Pan's command.

They knew they would be defeated, but they would rather die in battle than live.

Just like that, the area near the South City Gate became anxious for a while.

At this moment, bursts of blasts from the cannons in the bay shook the entire Lushun.

The sound of these guns told the whole city that Ming reinforcements were coming, whether it was the Ming people or the Han army building slaves.

Except for the soldiers at the head of Nancheng City, everyone else could judge from the density of artillery.

How could Jiannu's own small navy have so many such loud cannons.

Then there is only one guess, Akito's reinforcements have arrived.

Tuhai, who was at the head of Nancheng City, could clearly see the process of the Polu Navy's clean defeat of the Jiannu Navy, which put him in a dilemma.

They wanted to open the city gate as soon as possible and enter the ship to avoid the navy, but the city gate was not closed for a while, and more than half of the soldiers did not come in.

Otherwise, they had to withdraw from the city and form a formation to meet the enemy, repel the Ming army reinforcements, and then attack the city.

Tu Hai, who was not very bright, thought for a while, and after he had made a clear decision, he decided to withdraw.

After all, if he did not withdraw, he might face a battle on both sides of the sea city.

At least the city could contain more than half of his troops, which would make the city more vulnerable.

The three or four thousand soldiers outside faced the enemy alone.

He reluctantly issued the order to retreat.

He comforted himself by saying that fortunately, the Ming army's rolling wood, thunder and stone arrows in the city were basically exhausted.

If it happened again, the Han army could rush forward and the city would be broken quickly. , of course the premise is to defeat the reinforcements.

The Jia soldiers and Han soldiers who were fighting in the streets near the South City Gate heard the gongs of retreating troops.

Of course they knew that this was the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, so they withdrew happily
