Chapter 287: The Qing Army's Water Division is destroyed


The Ming army met the Qing army at sea at Chenshi, and an artillery battle began at noon.At this time, it was already less than five minutes, and the Qing army, lured by the Ming army, had already left the mouth of the Minjiang River.On the 15th, Zheng Hongkui led 20,000 Zheng army sailors to leave the islands of Kinmen and Xiamen and rushed to the mouth of the Minjiang River to help in the battle.At this time, the huge fleet finally appeared in the southwest direction of the Qing fleet."

It's the Zheng family's fleet!"

On all the ships of the Qing army, the sailors and soldiers were in a commotion, and they all exclaimed.They were originally Zheng Zhilong's army, and they knew the power of the Zheng family's navy, but now when they see the Zheng family's navy coming, many people are not easy to do emotionally, and second, the Zheng family has ruled Fujian for more than ten years, and they have accumulated great power, so they are naturally afraid in their hearts."

Boom!"

With a bang, just when the Qing army was frightened, the Zhenhai that had completed the loading, and the Fu ship of this formation completed the loading, and immediately opened fire again.On the Longsheng, Chen Jin turned back in horror, and saw the Dingsheng gunboat blocking the Longsheng, which exploded in an instant, and the Ming cannonball penetrated the starboard side of the Dingsheng, broke through the hull from the port side, fell into the water, and splashed up columns of water.Under the heavy shelling, countless pieces of wood were splashed, the mast was knocked down, and the ship's side was leaked and gradually capsized.At the same time, Zheng Hongkui's fleet was directly inserted into the rear of the Qing fleet, wanting to cut off the retreat of the Qing army's naval division, and the Qing army instantly fell into a dangerous situation.At this time, the shells of the Ming army's shelling of the Peak were wrapped in broken wood and fell into the water, and the splashed water column fell, drenching Chen Jin's body, making him sober up immediately, and suddenly shouted, "Order the rear army, rush back, and intercept the enemy army!"

”On the left side of the double horizontal formation, a large number of small warships of the Qing army, small ships turned around, and they all turned their rudders to the right, turned around on the sea, and turned around to intercept the Zheng fleet."

Boom, boom!"

To the northeast, three guerrilla ships, with a salvo of side guns, could fire more than 70 shells at a time, and even if the hit rate was only 30%, they could inflict heavy damage on two enemy ships at once.In an instant, two more Qing warships, incapacitated, were floating on the sea.Guo Zhong saw that under the shelling, the Dingsheng, which blocked the Longsheng with its hull, was smashed by cannonballs, and a fire broke out on the ship, and the surviving Qing soldiers on the deck ran around, wanting to extinguish the fire and save the ship, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Take advantage of their illness to kill him!"

Aim for the heyday, give me a call!

”The Ming artillery fired a salvo, the Dingsheng completely exploded, the hull was quickly submerged by the sea, the waves crashed, the driftwood was scattered, and the Qing army was swimming everywhere.At this time, after the Qing warship was in a panic, it finally reacted and fired back again, the cannonball splashed a column of water on the sea, the Zhenhai was hit by a cannonball, a fortune ship next to it was sunk, the ship capsized, and the Ming soldiers on it fell into the sea one after another.The continuous shelling made the Zhenhai already scarred, but the arrival of the Zheng army's sailors in the distance boosted the morale of the Ming army.At this time, the outer deck of the Zhenhai was almost empty, and no one could be seen, but Guo Zhong roared loudly, "The left rudder is full, and the starboard gun is ready!"

”Seeing the Zheng family's sailors coming, Guo Zhong no longer sailed northeast, but turned to the left and turned the ship over.The port side of the Ming army was seriously damaged in the counterfire, and just after a few rounds, the gun body needed to be cold-cut, and the Ming ships detoured in the water column splashed by the Qing artillery shells and transferred the ships over."

Put!"

The blood on Guo Zhong's body had already coagulated, and the Zhenhai was full of rudder to the left, and after making a roundabout turn, it was closer to the Qing ships.At this time, the Qing army was still loading, Chen Jin looked at the starboard artillery of the Ming army, and couldn't help but bulge his eyes, and saw in horror the side of the Ming army, the artillery flashed, and the broken wood on the Longsheng suddenly splashed, screaming again and again.At this moment, the Qing sergeant exclaimed, "It's not good, the rear team was defeated by Zheng Jun!"

”Chen Jin hurriedly turned around and saw the Zheng army's sailors, defeating the Qing army's boats, and the Qing ships were scrambling to flee first.Seeing this, the muscles on his face twitched, his teeth were crushed, and he stomped his feet and said, "Swing the rudder, withdraw!"

”The flagship of the Qing army hoisted the command flag, and the ships immediately turned in a roundabout way, intending to break through the Zheng army's blockade and return to the military port before the Zheng army cut off their waterway back to Mawei Harbor.The Qing army made a ninety-degree turn in front of the Ming warships, and the Ming army naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and the loaded artillery continuously roared and bombarded the Qing warships.Guo Zhong, who was covered in blood, stood on the helm tower, holding on to the broken guardrail, watching the Qing army want to escape, he immediately pulled out his knife, waved his front finger, and roared with green muscles, "Turn the rudder left, speed up with the full sail, and hit the Longsheng!"

”The Ming army turned a corner, and the flagship of the Qing army had distanced itself from the Ming army, but the Longsheng was seriously damaged and not fast.The Zhenhai pursued the Qing army, the bow of the ship was aimed at the stern of the Qing army, the stern artillery of the Qing army roared, the side guns of the Ming army could not bombard, and the bow guns could not damage the Qing warship.In the camp of the Qing army in Lianjiang, Duoduo urged the Zheng army to attack the Ming army every day, and the Zheng army had lost more than 10,000 people, and the Ming army had also lost more than 2,000 people.Duoduo clearly realized that it was impossible to defeat Zhao Ming by relying on the Zheng army's attack, but he was still happy to send the Zheng army to attack the Ming army.At this time, in the big tent of the Qing army, Duoduo sat in the tent, eating meat with a large piece of the basin, and the generals of the Eight Banners on the side made compensation."

Lord Wang, those Zheng troops are overwhelmed, why don't you let our Eight Banner Warriors attack?"

Shen Yongzhong, who was in the white flag of the Han army, asked.A conceited smile appeared on Duoduo's face, "The loss of the active attack is quite large, and this king expects that the first one who can't hold his breath must be the barbarian." ”As he spoke, Duoduo stretched out three fingers and said proudly: "This king is decided, at most three days, Zhao Zamao will definitely take the initiative to find this king for a decisive battle, and it will not be too late to defeat him at that time!"

Shen Yongzhong and several Eight Banner generals glanced at each other, and said with some puzzlement: "Why is this?"

”Duoduo smiled and said, "This king has received the news, Ruijin City will not last long!"

”Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they all understood what Duoduo meant, and immediately burst out laughing.At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and a general suddenly came in, panting like a cow kneeling in the tent, causing the laughter in the tent to stop abruptly, and everyone looked at each other.Dodor put the dagger in the basin, frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

”The person who came pointed to the west and gasped: "Lord Wang, the big thing is not good, the sailor was defeated at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to seize Mawei Port." ”"What?"

Duoduo got up suddenly, his face full of hideousness, "How can this be?

”When Duoduo learned of the results of the battle at the mouth of the Minjiang River, in the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Yihai, Zhao Ming and others were listening to Xia Wanchun's report.Zhao Ming's 3,000 sailors led the Qing army away from the mouth of the Min River, Zheng Hongkui's 20,000 troops suddenly arrived, blocking the way for the Qing army to return to Hong Kong, making the Qing army's sailors chaotic, and the Qing army's naval division commander Chen Jin ordered to break through, and the two sides fought a bloody battle at the mouth of the Min River.In a bloody battle, the only two imitation Xiyi gunboats of the Qing army were sunk, half of them were burned and severely damaged, half surrendered, and half broke out of the encirclement and fled into Mawei Port, but the Ming army took advantage of the momentum to kill, and all the Qing ships that fled into the port were also captured.In this battle, the Qing army recruited the sailors, which can be said to be annihilated, and only Chen Jin and more than 1,000 others fled back to Fuzhou.However, the losses of the Ming army in this battle were not small, Zhao Ming's Zhenhai gunboat was completely destroyed and could not be repaired, six Fu ships were sunk, with a loss of nearly 1,000 people, and Zheng Hongkui's side also lost 30 warships, more than two or three thousand people.Although the loss of the army was not small, but this result still made Zhao Ming very satisfied, he listened to Xia Wanchun's narration, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the Qing army's naval division has been destroyed, and Fuzhou and Duoduo's back roads will be threatened. ”Zhu Yihai said: "What does Boan think Duoduo will do?"

”Zhao Ming said with a smile: "The two armies are five miles apart from each other and are close at hand, and Duoduo has an underwater camp on his back, if he dares to withdraw, our army will immediately cover up and kill, and he will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor."

The minister is determined to be more than Duoduo, he will definitely not be willing to fail, he will attack at least once with all his strength!
