At noon on September 29, the fleet arrived in the waters of Hong Kong.

At this time, Liu Xiang never expected that the Tiance Army would come so quickly.

These days, he has figured it out that the one who disguised as Red-haired reinforcements and joined the battlefield was the Tiance Army of Shandong.

On that day, Putmans fled to the senior official with four warships. Liu Xiang didn't want to follow them as a scapegoat, so she fled separately and fled to the southwest. She thought that the Tiance army had to deal with both Hongmao and Zheng Zhilong, and she would never send the main force to deal with him, a pirate.

His plan is to repair it on Nan'ao Island, replenish manpower and food, and to observe the development of the situation. Nan'ao Island is only more than 200 miles away from Liaoluo Bay, and he can quickly obtain battlefield information. If any variable occurs, he can still take advantage of the troubled waters.

Unexpectedly, the Tiance Army really sent four warships to follow him and follow him to Nan'ao Island.

Before they could dock, the four warships of the Tiance Army came up, and he didn't have the courage to fight. Who knew if more warships would arrive later. If they were entangled, they would not be able to escape at the speed of these warships.

In the end, he could only cut off his arm and abandon some warships in exchange for a chance to escape. However, he did not expect that the four warships would remain in dispersed and would always follow their butts, but they would not lean on them.

He knew that these ships were not intended to annihilate him, but tracking and surveillance.

After arriving at Hong Kong Island, he decided to stop and replenish supplies first. After running for so long, everyone was exhausted and lacked fresh water. If he didn't make up, the team's hearts would probably be dispersed.

Fortunately, the four ships did not take the initiative to attack, so I probably were worried that they were not strong enough. After all, Liu Xiang still had more than fifty ships on hand. Although he lost some of the battle with the Fujian Navy and the four Garen ships, when Putmans broke through the siege, he took the opportunity to seize more than twenty Ming warships.

The four warships tracked by the Tiance Army were only one large Garen ship, and the remaining three medium models were not so stupid that they would fight him head-on.

But he never expected that the main force of the Tiance Army would come so soon.

"There is virtue to kill the Thousand Swords. I have no grudge against you. Do you have to kill them all?" Liu Xiang looked at the Tiance Fleet on the sea and cursed.

"Big boss, haven't we sent someone to fight Dengzhou?"

"Shut up! I want you to be troubled?" Liu Xiang glared at this ignorant subordinate.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"Retreat! Retreat to Qiongzhou Prefecture!"

Liu Xiang is not a fool, she will definitely not be able to fight hard and can only run.

The reason why he chose to escape to Qiongzhou Prefecture was that Qiongzhou Prefecture was closer to this place and had enough hiding place.

The Tiance army will definitely not give up when it comes to a large-scale attack. Although he has repaired it, the performance of the warship is different from that. Unless he can escape to Batavia and seek the protection of the Dutch, he will eventually be caught up and killed.

When he fled to Qiongzhou Prefecture, he had a glimmer of hope. Qiongzhou Prefecture was full of mountains. With his current remnants of Liu Xiang, he abandoned these warships, brought artillery and people to the ashore, and found a mountain to occupy it, and could also become a mountain king.

Not to mention anything else, you can at least escape the disaster first. The Tiance army’s nest is in Shandong, so it would not be possible to attack the mountain from the territory of Qiongzhou Prefecture across most of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Tiance army retreated or the Dutch reinforcements from Batavia arrived, Liu Xiang, relying on the remaining men and forces scattered in some other small nests, had a chance to make a comeback.

However, his idea was good, but he underestimated the difference in speed of warships between the two sides, and Kong Youde did not give him this opportunity at all.

The mooring place that Liu Xiang chose was in Shipai Bay, which was a bay similar to Liaoluo Bay. Although there were guarded guard ships and land guard posts, most of the pirates were on the shore, and it took time to board the ship again and then set off. In general, they could only buy them a stick of incense.

This time is indeed a lot for land, but it is not much different for sea, especially sail battleships, which have higher speeds than traditional lucky ships and Guangbo sand ships.

"If you pass the order, this battle will mainly capture pirates. All warships are only allowed to use solid bullets and chain bullets. Pirates who fall into the water will not be allowed to kill as long as they voluntarily give up their resistance!"

These pirates are all valuable, especially after Liu Xiang has been with the Dutch for a long time, many people know Dutch, and some who are proficient in English can use them in the future. Even if they don’t know anything, they can also be regarded as free labor.

This naval battle was basically destined to be resolved from the moment the Tince Navy appeared in the waters of Hong Kong Island.

Liu Xiang was originally a defeated general. Although he had been repaired for a few days and had a certain amount of strength, the artillery was not able to be quickly replenished. The Tiance Army itself was equipped with complete firepower, and it seized several Dutch warships, as well as all the warships and artillery under Zheng Zhilong's command, which were completely the grandfather beat the grandson.

"Let's start!"

Kong Youde waved his hand calmly, and the flag-speaking soldiers began to wave the order flag.

According to the plan, Zhang Hua led the Second Fleet to leave the main formation and encircled the southwest. The gun windows were also opened one by one, and the muzzle was extended, so that fire could be opened at any time.

Although there are many reefs and small islands nearby, many Zheng family sailors have been incorporated into the fleet. They are well aware of the hydrological situation in the southern waters of the Ming Dynasty. With their assistance, Zhang Hua led the Second Fleet to start the encirclement operation.

Because of the superior speed of the Garen ship, the battleships of the Tince Navy completely gained the upper hand in this racing competition.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Hua successfully led the fleet into a big circle and came to the front of Liu Xiang's fleet. The first fleet followed closely and quickly brought the distance closer.

Although the pirate ships entered the range of the Tiance Army very early, they did not fire. What this battle requires is to solve the battle quickly and efficiently, and stick it on and shoot it to reduce the combat time.

"Fighting these pirate ships for half a mile is simply easier than when training. It's better for these pirates to surrender honestly. I have to ask for trouble. I'll let you taste the taste of shells later!"

Kong Youde's order was to close the distance to half a mile before firing, and the gunners couldn't help but tease him.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the distance narrowed, the warships of the Tiance Army opened fire one after another, aiming at the waterline of the pirate ship.

A solid iron ball flew towards the pirate ship opposite, and drew arcs in the sky at a speed that exceeded the sound.

In a blink of an eye, more than one-third of the shells hit the target.

The carrier's huge kinetic energy shell directly opened the side of the pirate ship and the deck again, and the splashed wood chips became the accomplices of the shells, and the pirates in the deck and cabin were overturned to the ground.

Some pirate ships with bad luck were directly hit by several shells on the waterline, smashing big holes, and the surging sea water quickly poured into it, and the pirate ship gradually sank.

At the same time, He Xi and Han Song's two squadrons, according to Xu Wenyi's command, inserted straight into Liu Xiang's fleet. Liu Xiang's fleet was cut into two sections, and during this period, they directly sank three small-tonnage blessed ships, and all the sailors fell into the sea.

The other warships rushed directly towards the main formation of Liu Xiang's fleet according to the battle line formation. The artillery on the warships kept spraying shells, and one pirate ship after another turned into wooden boards under continuous artillery attacks.

The entire battlefield was completely one-sided. The warships of the Tence Navy were faster, stronger, and had stronger firepower. The sailors and gunners were more skilled and their morale was higher, which made the pirates unable to fight back.

Faced with the powerful firepower of the Tiance Navy warship, Liu Xiang had no power to fight back. In previous naval battles, artillery was purely used to open up the situation. Often, both sides first blasted for a while, then aimed at the enemy's flaws, and the stickers were to jump to grab the ship, fighting with the knife.

It’s not that they don’t want to play artillery battles, they also want to directly kill the enemy with the numerous artillery pieces, and they can even kill less people.

But no matter how you think about it, the reality is that you can't do this, because they can't afford it. Artillery and ammunition are all consumables. If you shoot one less, you can't produce it in large quantities. Even if you can be self-sufficient, the rest will have to be seized and purchased.

Looking at his warships, one by one, he turned into wooden boards, Liu Xiang

"Let the sampan and catch the prisoners!"

The flag was waving, and the sampans carried by each ship were put down. Then the commandos rowed the sampans and advanced towards the area where the pirates fell into the water.

"Listen, pirates, as long as they don't resist, they can be spared from death! Those who resist will have a dead end."

The commandos paddling sampans shouted to the pirates who were fluttering in the sea. This sea area is about twenty miles away from Hong Kong Island. Although the pirates can water, swimming so far is not a simple matter. Many people are bouncing. Looking at the enemy's sampan, it is like seeing a savior.

Then, the pirates covered in cold bodies were fished up by the commandos, and then several people tied up in a bunch and drove towards the sand boat behind the team, and then went to salvage them.

Seeing that the Tiance Army would actually help their companions who fell into the water, many pirate ships that were still struggling to support them all lowered their sails and cast white flags.

They are all people who make a living at the edge of the knife, and most of them have blood on their hands. The Tiance Army is so cruel and has such strong firepower, like a fierce ghost. The reason why they have not surrendered after suffering such a blow is that they are worried that they will die when they surrender.

Now that they saw that all the companions who fell into the water could survive, they had no last courage to resist. They knelt on the deck, begging the Tiance army to let them go.

Seeing the warships constantly striking white flags, Liu Xiang was panicked. He even found that some of his subordinates looked at him with something wrong, even like looking at prey.

The fear in his heart and the desire to survive prompted Liu Xiang to wave the whip in his hand and beat the sailors who stopped.

At the same time, he cursed, "Idiots, work harder. If you believe these enemies, you will all die!"

"Brothers, catch Liu Xiang and offer it to the government. We can not only survive, but also become officials! You are the one who is in charge!"

At this time, a pirate whose face was whipped with a whip finally couldn't help it. He picked up a machete and shouted and rushed towards Liu Xiang.

"Looking for death!" Liu Xiang cursed angrily.

But there was no time to pull out the short knife at his waist. He whipped the pirate's right arm with a whip, knocked the knife from his hand down, and then used all his strength to penetrate his chest, kicking him back several steps, turning over the railing, and falling into the sea.

Although the threat was solved, Liu Xiang suddenly discovered that although the other sailors did not rush up, they began to wield short swords to cut off the ropes. The sails on the mast fell down. He could even hear the sound of iron chains passing through the side of the boat. There was no doubt that someone was breaking down.

"Hurry, catch Liu Xiang, and we can only survive if we catch him!"

"Catch Liu Xiang!"

"Catch Liu Xiang alive!"

Roars came one after another. These sailors who were whipped and abused on weekdays were like erupting volcanoes, rushing towards Liu Xiang with their weapons in their hands.

Although Liu Xiang and his more than ten confidants fought to the death, it was useless in the end. Most of the crew rebelled, and even more were killed. After all, the human strength was a bit strong, and they were still in great fear. After a while, Liu Xiang's confidants were chopped to the ground.

Liu Xiang himself was also overwhelmed on the deck by the angry pirates and then controlled it.

Then, a white flag was raised on Liu Xiang's flagship, and several sampans rowed over, and the commandos boarded the ship, and then controlled the entire ship.

"Boss Liu, Liu Dazhu, I didn't expect you to have it today. It's really a turn of feng shui!" On the deck of Wendeng, looking at Liu Xiang, who was tied to hairy crabs, Xu Wenyi greeted with a smile.

Liu Xiang was a little confused, "Who are you?"

Xu Wenyi smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce it. My surname is Xu, do you remember?"

"Xu? Are you Xu Wenyi?" Liu Xiang exclaimed in surprise.

"Master Liu is really a good memory, and he still remembers me! I didn't expect that back then, I was like a dog who fell into the water, and was chased by your people all the way to Shandong territory. I simply saved my life, and I was about to make a comeback. Didn't you expect that I would have the same thing as today, right?"

At this time, Liu Xiang became tougher, "The king succeeds and the enemy will be killed and cut off, and you will be punished by the emperor! If you want me to beg you for mercy, I will bah!"

"Master Liu is really strong and still hold on at this time. But don't worry, if I don't kill you, you will have great use." Xu Wenyi said lightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go down, don't let him commit suicide!"

As Liu Xiang's ship was sunk and Liu Xiang was captured, the remaining pirate ships also gave up resistance and shot out white flags to surrender.

Victory comes so quickly as expected.
Chapter completed!
