At this time, where is Guo Deng’s hope for victory or defeat?

In Guangzhou.

It's nothing else, it's the Nanyang Navy.

Wang Ying has been in Guangdong for three years.

If three years ago, the Beiyang Navy had the strongest combat effectiveness among the Ming Navy, no, there was no Beiyang Navy at that time, but only the sea navy.

But among all the navy masters of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful one is the Nanyang navy.

Because after Wang Ying was transferred from the north to Guangdong, the imperial court's naval resources were tilted towards the Nanyang navy.

But this powerful navy has never made any moves.

It seems that they are only responsible for transporting some materials from Jiangnan to Guangdong. Apart from that, they do nothing. They can only draw some of the people from the Navy to the Guangdong Navy to serve. The most important thing is to make them familiar with the sea conditions in Guangdong and the local water conditions.

After all, although Wang Ying also collected a lot of sailors from the local area after he arrived in Guangdong, the real team was still mainly Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.

Nothing else, Wang Ying’s previous residence was in Jiangnan, and Wang Ying’s ancestral home was Fujian. In addition, Fujian also has the most sailing talents.

These people don’t know much about the water conditions in the Southeast Sea of ​​Guangdong.

Although they have learned about it in three years, they have never appeared in front of the Annan Navy once.

This is the time for them to show their power.

He set out from Guangdong, took a short rest on Hainan Island, and then headed to the sea area of ​​the Honghe estuary.

Wang Ying specially placed the cargo ship in front.

As bait.

As mentioned in the previous article, Annan is also a navy member.

I have had many fights with the Guangdong Navy.

The Annan Navy was not a rival to the Guangdong Navy, but it frequently plundered the transportation between the Ming Dynasty and Champaign.

The sea area near the mouth of the Honghe River is where the Annan Navy appears frequently.

Sure enough, Wang Ying waited on a reef for two days before catching fish.

Wang Ying divided the Nanyang Navy into several teams, like a big net, covering this area of ​​sea.

The Annan Navy was also very alert and discovered the Nanyang Navy's fleet from afar and immediately headed west without saying a word.

The reason is very simple. The Nanyang Navy ship is not big. At least it is not as big as Zheng He's treasure ship, but overall, all the ships in Annan have to be big.

Just after taking a look, the Annan Navy knew that this was not something they could compete with.

The Annan Navy wanted to leave, but the Nanyang Navy could not let them go.

Wang Ying has been holding it in for so many years and wants a perfect first victory.

Soon the two sides got into battle.

With the advantages of the artillery ships of the Ming Navy, the Annan Navy had no power to fight back at all, and the Annan Navy had no intention of resisting. They only did one thing and could only flee westward.

I have to say that this decision seems to be a little unprosperous, but it is the most suitable.

On the sea, once a chase war starts, it is normal to catch up with hundreds of miles.

Moreover, since this is an area where Annan Navy appears, it means it is not far from the coastline.

Although there were many cannons on the Ming army ships, these cannons were more than half a mile away and had no accurate head at all. After all, the accurate heads of the Ming army cannons on land were quite limited, and they should not be on the floating sea surface, which was even weakened to the extreme.

Ming army ships could not line up and intercept on the sea.

So, the Annan Navy dropped several ships on each blockade line of the Nanyang Navy, but most of them were able to escape.

Seeing this, Wang Ying sneered and turned to the headquarters alone.

He is not stop chasing.

Instead, he walked around them.

Wang Ying himself was valued by Zhu Qizhen for his navigation. Therefore, after he took office, he promoted many talents with expertise in navigation.

In addition, Wang Ying was large in ships, all the sails were spread out, and then the course was adjusted. He rode the north wind. Although the route was longer than the Annan Navy, he arrived first and suddenly entered the coast of Annan from the north.

After the Annan Navy chased and killed the layers, there were only a dozen ships left.

However, they also saw the dawn, and the coastline looming to the west was Annan.

When they arrived near the sea, they could hide in the port or in the waterway, avoiding the pursuit of the Ming Navy.

But at this moment, Wang Ying brought more than a dozen ships from the headquarters and actually came towards him from the west.

Although the numbers of the two sides are similar, their combat effectiveness cannot be the same.

You should know that as the chief of the navy, Wang Ying was surrounded by the largest ship type, the best ship condition, the best sailor quality, and even the latest artillery among the Nanyang Navy.

Of course, he is also the strongest among the Nanyang Navy.

There is only one battle at this moment.

So countless people in Annanhai Fanggang were attracted by the Ming Navy and their Navy fought on the sea several miles east.

Or it is not a war at all, it is a massacre.

The Ming army used gunfire to bombard him. After getting closer, they first hit and then fought.

But no matter how they fought, the Ming army suppressed Annan to fight.

The artillery of the Ming Navy may not be much worse than the artillery of the Ming Army's artillery battalion. There are not no firearms on the Annan ships, but there are no firearms that can be fought against.

As for the impact tonnage, it is almost pressed.

As for the soldiers on the Annan side, there was no way to jump to the gang, because the difference between the two sides of the ships, the Annan people wanted to jump to the Ming army's ships, which was almost equivalent to siege, but the Ming army could attack with various firearms from a high position.

It is not even rare to capture the Annan Navy's ships.

Instead, he threw a lot of burning objects directly and ignited the ship.

Such a combat that was squeezing, the people of Annan were naturally distracted. The best ships, without caring about the battle, rushed straight into Haifang Port.

But if they wanted to do so, the Ming army would not dare to pursue Wang Ying. It was too underestimated.

Wang Ying has been holding it in for three years.

He chased after him without saying a word. If he hadn't been afraid of the ship being stranded, he would not dare to get too close to the shore. Just let go of the shore ten feet above the shore and bombard the sea defense.

Of course, this distance cannot be hit by Haifang City.

But coastal defense is originally a prosperous port in Annan. It is like some places in China, and it does not mean that there are no houses outside the city walls.

Outside Haifang Port, there are almost countless houses connected to the port.

Wang Ying directly used the incendiary bomb to knock out the burned iron bomb.

Such incendiary bombs are used on sailing ships, and it is easy to ignite themselves before they hit others, but now Wang Ying has already gotten his anchor. Of course, he is not afraid.

Therefore, shells with red halos crossed the sky, and were quickly cooled by countless air, returning to their true colors. However, after smashing into a wooden house, red seemed to emerge quickly from the inside, igniting houses, ships, and even various flammable materials.

But a fire rose out. Then countless fire rose out.

The distance between fire was quickly filled with fire. When the north wind blew, countless fire heads were quickly connected, as if they became a giant of fire, rushing towards the southeast inland direction.

By this time, Wang Ying no longer has to do anything.

The heat waves on the shore also made it unbearable for the people on the boat.

Wang Ying had to order the ship to sail into the outer sea.

Even on the outer sea, Wang Ying couldn't believe it even when he looked from a distance.

Of course, this is not entirely Wang Ying's credit. Most buildings in East Asia are made of wood and are easily ignited.

Now it is the dry season in Annan again. It has not rained for half a month, and some dry things are already dry.

In addition, Wang Ying's shelling brought some luck. The Annan people did not have time to extinguish it in time. When the fire was 10% true, it would be difficult for the gods to save them.

However, Wang Ying quickly came to her senses.

He was not sad for the people of Annan. He thought to himself: "This is the greatest achievement since the expedition to the south. Why don't I make a great achievement?"

Speaking of which, since the Ming army captured Annan, other troops have been fighting hard. Only Wang Ying has been so smooth here, so Wang Ying naturally has the intention of becoming more and more arrogant.

The great contribution he wanted to make was naturally the great contribution of going straight to the Honghe River and breaking through Shenglong City.
