The fleet of the Qiantang Navy cruised along the coast.

Sentries are everywhere conducting reconnaissance.

The weather was sunny, windless and cloudless, and the sea was calm.

Not long after, a sentry ship fired a warning arrow, breaking the tranquility on the sea.

"What's going on??" Shi Lang threw out the flagship cabin and asked loudly.

"Commander, there is a fleet heading towards us!" A senior officer personally climbed up to the observation deck and observed the fleet in the distance with a telescope.

"Get ready for battle!" Shi Lang ordered calmly.

Soon, the Qiantang Navy began to change its formation, and the main Fuzhou fleet began to slow down. At the same time, two outposts were separated from the two wings of the fleet and began to outflank the fleet.

"See clearly! It's the Tatar navy!" shouted the admiral on the observation deck.

Shi Lang's face darkened. The Qing navy had already gone to sea. It seemed that the situation in Jiangyin was not good.

If the other party dares to kill you, it shows that the other party is not weak.

Thinking about it, this Tatar navy should be the navy of the original Ming army that surrendered in Nanjing.

Suddenly, a gunshot sounded from far away.

Shi Lang was confused.

"Commander, they are in pursuit. They must have discovered us and want to fire and sink the fleeing ship." The general shouted loudly from the observation deck.

"Since they are here, we should entertain them well and order the whole army to annihilate all the Tatars today! Whoever sinks the flagship will be rewarded five hundred taels of silver!" Shi Lang became excited, pulled off his cloak and gave orders.

The surrounding soldiers suddenly roared. They all followed Shi Lang from Fujian, and all of them were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.

I had to hold it in at Hainingwei for almost a month, and I almost died from the pain.

Now that there is finally a war to fight and money to take, everyone is excited.

The Qing Navy discovered the Qiantang Navy and continued to bombard the escaping Haicang ships.

But those ships were too far away and too fast, so they kept missing.

And the Ming navy had already set up its formation. The Qing navy, which didn't know what was going on, didn't dare to charge directly, so it had to slow down and set up the formation first.

The flagship of the Qing Navy was a 400-ton battleship, similar to a building ship, with a square and wide bow, a shed in the middle, walls on the sides, and two masts on the ship.

The rest are almost all warships made of 200 materials.

On the other hand, the Qiantang Navy has thirty No. 2 Fortune Ships, which can be said to be powerful.

Seeing the strength of the Ming army, the navy of the Qing army did not dare to move forward, so they could only let the ships being pursued sail towards the Ming army's formation.

Seeing signs of escape from the opposite side, Shi Lang urgently ordered the left and right sentries to intercept them at full speed.

The main force of the Chinese army pressed forward directly, crushing the opponent with a majestic formation.

The firepower of the No. 2 Fu Ship is very powerful. It has a red barbarian cannon, six thousand-jin Fo Lang machine, and other firearms are fully equipped.

Soon, several Cangshan ships of the Ming army stopped the escaping ships and sent people to the flagship.

When Shi Lang saw a large group of people coming, the leaders of whom were still wearing official uniforms, he couldn't help but have a headache. He thought to himself that he had saved a few ancestors and came back.

"I'm the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qiantang Navy, Shi Lang. May I ask who he is?"

"This is Uncle Chengyi, this is Huaifu, and this is General Wusong."

An attaché behind those people introduced them one by one to Shi Lang.

Shi Lang didn't know any of it and could only force a smile.

"Several adults are frightened. Let's take a rest first."

"You have General Laoshi."

After saying that, Shi Lang ordered people to take several Shangguan to the cabin to rest.

After settling down a few people, the general next to Shi Lang told him that Liu Kongzhen, the sincere uncle, was the original military minister of Nanjing, Cao Jiang. When Nanjing surrendered, he escaped with his navy.

Huai Futian Yang, since the fall of the Huaihe River, has been stationed on the sea and wandering around.

The general's name is Wu Zhikui, and he has been active in Songjiang Mansion.

When Shi Lang heard this, he realized that these three people could escape together. It seemed that they were probably defeated by the Qing army and all their men were lost.

Liu Kongzheng was a minister and had many warships under his command. He was able to defeat the Qing navy. It seems that the Tatar navy in front of him was just a partial force.

In order to understand the details, Shi Lang found a general who had been rescued and made inquiries. Only then did he learn that the Qing army had formed a new navy from Nanjing, led by Tian Xiong, the commander-in-chief who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

More than 400 ships and 50,000 soldiers are chasing the remnants of Liu Kongzhen at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Previously organized by Huaifu Tianyang, Liu Kongzhen, Wu Zhikui, and some collected pirates were preparing to take advantage of the emptiness of Songjiang Prefecture to launch a counterattack.

Unexpectedly, the Qing navy happened to emerge from the Yangtze River estuary. They originally went south to Hangzhou Bay on Duduo's order to launch a surprise attack on Hangzhou, but who knew that as soon as they went out to sea, they ran into the coalition forces organized by Tian Yang.

This was like a gift of military exploits, and Tian Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Navy, accepted the offer of fat without hesitation.

In the first battle, Liu Kongzhen's navy was defeated, and the coalition forces fled in all directions.

After hearing the whole story, Shi Lang couldn't help but sigh, you say they were unlucky, they happened to be saved by him. You say they were lucky, they met the main force of the Qing Navy.

"Commander, the Tatars are about to run away!" The general saw the Qing navy turn around and hurriedly reported the situation.

"Still want to run? Release the clippers and trap them!" Shi Lang smiled contemptuously. Although he had learned that the main force of the Qing Navy was nearby, he was not afraid at all.

The Qiantang Navy quickly launched a mother ship, which can hold gunpowder at the front and a detachable boat hidden at the back.

The soldiers drove the mother ship directly towards the opponent's large ship, ignited the gunpowder, and escaped in the small boat.

A vast sea of ​​small boats from the Qing army surrounded us like a school of fish, making our scalp numb.

The person leading this partial division is the deputy general of the commander-in-chief Tian Xiong. He knows the mother ship and its power. Once you hook your own ship, it is basically impossible to escape.

"Quick! Full speed, full speed! Get closer to the main force!!" the deputy general shouted anxiously.

The Qing army sailors rowed wildly, trying to escape.

However, the Ming army's boat was very fast, and there was no wind and waves today, so it was getting closer and closer to the Qing army.

"Quick, stop them!" The deputy general shouted in panic, pointing at several mother-and-carrier ships not far away that were trying to get close to his flagship.

The soldiers of the Qing army hurriedly fired their guns and arrows and shot at the mother ship.

However, the Ming army was brave and brave. Although they lost several carrier ships, they still withstood the firepower of the Qing army and hooked a carrier ship full of gunpowder to the side of the Qing army's flagship ship.

The soldier in the boat quickly separated from the boat and drove away.

There was already a mess on the Qing army's flagship.

After about twenty puffs, the explosion flames soared into the sky and instantly illuminated the sea surface red.

The Qing army's flagship was bombed and the debris flew everywhere.

The entire stern of the ship shattered directly, and then began to sink slowly.

The surviving soldiers on the ship jumped into the water to survive, and the sea was full of Qing soldiers crying for help.

On the Ming army's side, the war drums were beating loudly.

Seeing the sinking of the enemy's flagship, cheers filled the sky.

"Order the left sentry to enter the seaport, and the right sentry to continue to take a circuitous route to hide. The front sentry should be on guard, and the rear sentry should clean the battlefield. The Chinese army will pursue it with all its strength and be sure to annihilate all the enemy troops!" Shi Lang commanded the battle in an orderly manner.

The flagship was sunk, the morale of the Qing army collapsed, and this partial division of more than a hundred warships began to break up and flee.

They thought that the Ming Navy on the opposite side would set up a formation and fire artillery fire on them just like before.

Who knew that this Ming navy would not play according to the rules?

They have never seen this kind of play.

It was because of Liu Kongzheng's bombardment with the Qing navy that his gunners strayed to his grandma's house. After several shellings, he sank more than half of his ships. The Qing army only lost a few ships.

"I didn't expect Mr. Shi to be so powerful!"

At some point, Liu Kongzhen stood behind Shi Lang. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Lang was very happy to hear Uncle Cheng praising him, but he still replied humbly: "My uncle is so complimentary, it's just a coincidence."
