Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner left the sea, and soon it hit the first fleet that had evacuated from the Yalu River. The six warships of the first fleet faced more than fifty warships.

It is not proportional in quantity at all.

"I guess all the navy in the Qing Dynasty are here." Su Buheng looked at the huge fleet and said, "Wen Bangliang pointed to the warships and said, "Sir, their ships have deep waterlines. There must be a lot of things or a lot of people on the ship."

Su Buheng hurriedly looked at the waterlines of the warships. As Wen Bangliang said, the Qing Dynasty warships all exceeded the normal waterlines.

Some ships are seriously overloaded, and their driving looks scary, as if they will be overturned by big waves if they are accidentally.

"Sir, the dragon slogan, Shanghai No. 1 requested combat instructions." The flag bearer reported at this time.

"Transfer the order, use chain bombs to attack the sails of enemy ships, and they will all be paralyzed." Su Buheng turned his head and ordered. The flag bearer quickly climbed up the mast and fired combat flags at the other five warships. Although the tonnage of the Qing Dynasty warships was not large, it was better for offshore patrols.

After ordering, the six warships rushed towards the Qing army's warships. The soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner had no idea what the black dots in the distance meant, but they seemed extremely unfamiliar with the sea.

Only the Han soldiers on the ship knew that several ships came from afar. However, judging from the number of black spots, the other party had only eight ships.

They have more than fifty ships, and they have an absolute advantage in number, so they are relatively calm.

However, when both sides entered within a thousand meters, the soldiers of Zhengbai Banner on the Qing army warship finally saw the black spots in the distance.

Those were six tall three-masted warships! They were larger than the ten armed merchant ships I saw before, and there were a lot of artillery on the side of the ships on both sides.

There are also two strange ships with surprisingly fast speeds.

Especially the moon flag hanging high and fluttering in the sea breeze made the Han soldiers responsible for steering the ships fall into panic in an instant.

"What's going on?" Dorgon asked with a frown when he looked at the eight bright ships in the distance.

"Prince Rui is not good, the Ming army's warship is here."

"But the eight warships are you afraid that he will do?" Dorgon said angrily, and the navy general replied in horror: "Prince Rui, there are many artillery ships in Ming people, but my Qing Navy does not have artillery, and the ships are not as tall as the other party. The entire ship is loaded with people, so it is not a match for the guard!"

"Send thirty warships to let them rush up and sink the Ming army's warships." Dorgon did not listen at all and insisted on ordering the navy general, "The remaining twenty-three warships will be returned to Liao with me."

"Slag." The navy general had no choice but to pass Dorgon's orders on ships, and Dorgon then began to urge him.

In fact, Dorgon knew that the sea was not an opponent of the Ming army, so he ordered thirty warships to meet the enemy in order to strive for his successful separation.

"The Ming army has landed in Liaodong, and Lushun may have fallen into the hands of the Ming army at this moment." Dorgon thought to himself, and quickly ordered the navy general: "Change the route, let's go to Sancha River."

"Slag."

However, before the ship Dorgon was riding left the fleet, the first fleet had already gone to the downwind and launched a shelling attack on the Manqing Navy.

The first fleet in the downwind position tilted upwards with the hull.

The thick smoke rose, and the shells flew out with a bang. The chain bombs fired by the Qingdao were not directed towards a Qing warship. The dense chain bombs swept across the warship and instantly destroyed the sails of the warship.

The warship lost its sails and was paralyzed on the sea. Once the hard sails used by the Ming ships were destroyed, they would not be as simple as canvas to repair them.

The efficiency of using chain bombs to strike sails is very high. Basically, a single volley can paralyze a ship on the spot. Six warships entered the attack position one after another, and gradually wanted the Qing Dynasty warships to open fire.

The tonnage of the Qing Dynasty naval ships was not large, and their speed was naturally not high. According to XX's law, for every 2 times the ship was enlarged, the power required was only 1.5 times. The larger the sailboat, the greater the force area of ​​the sail, the more the power it was. In addition, the Qing navy was seriously overloaded, and the speed was as slow as a turtle. In this regard, it was completely different from the warships of the First Fleet. Moreover, there were not many artillery on the ship, so they could only be slaughtered.

However, not long after, the First Fleet discovered the abnormality of the Qing Navy, and saw the dragon slogan rushing into the siege of the Qing Navy, but the empty cannons of the Qing army's warships never sounded.

It turned out that in order to carry the Zhengbai Banners, Dorgon threw all the gunners on the warships in Tieshan. There were very few Han soldiers on each ship, only enough to drive the ship.

However, few people knew how to use this artillery on the Zhengbai Banner. The artillery that was not too far on the warships were even more scrapped.

The dragon slogan that was not bombarded was used to rush around the Qing army warships with its tall hull. The artillery on and off the Zhengbai Banner could not be fired, and even the Jue Gang could not fight.

The Han soldiers who drove the ship could not hit the warships of the First Fleet with their ships, and the result was a complete tragedy. The dragon slogan was fired left and right on both sides of the Qing army warships. With such a close distance, there was no need to consider the upper wind position and the lower wind position. Except for the bottom cabin artillery that could not attack the sails of the Qing warships, the upper two layers of cannons could easily hit.

The adventure of the Dragon Slogan made the First Fleet understand the details of the Manqing Naval Division. Seeing this situation, the captains of each ship ordered to rush into the enemy formation.

Dorgon rode the fastest sailboat, because he carried the least number of people. So as soon as Dorgon decided to run away, he immediately ran to the front.

This also made the warship Dorgon riding a prominent target of attack. Su Buheng directed the Qingdao to block Dorgon's route of escape, and then fired a cannon to destroy the sails.

However, after destroying the sails, the Qingdao searched for the next target, because the warship Dorgon was riding was not obvious, and Su Buheng didn't know which ship Dorgon was on.

Dorgon was scared and sweated all over. At this time, he had already regretted his behavior of walking on the sea. Strictly speaking, he had already regretted it to the extreme.

The Zhengbai Banner is like a lamb to be slaughtered on the sea, without any counterattack. The only thing that is thankful is that there are too many lambs and too few wolf numbers.

The first fleet that rushed into the group of ships was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, shooting at the sails of the Qing army warships with bows left and right, but there were too many Qing army warships.

The Qing army warships that were bombarded were like frightened beasts, and began to flee in all directions. However, the first fleet had only six warships, which one was chasing?

It depends on the captain's respective judgment. The Shandong Navy did not follow the stereotyped tactics used at the beginning of the rise of Britain, but focused on the adaptability of grassroots commanders.

The six warships each pursued the selected targets. Each captain tried to gather the Qing warships together. The two warships began to cruise on the periphery, surrounding the Qing warships that had left the brigade.

However, there were too many Qing army warships, and even six warships were encircled together, they could not stop the Qing army warships from scattering.

Su Buheng quickly asked the flag bearers to sing the flag words, asking them to encircle the Qing army warships heading towards Liaodong Bay, and at the same time, let the flying scissors quickly return to Longkou, allowing the Longkou ships to block the passage into Liaodong Bay.

The line from Dengzhou to the Liaodong Peninsula is only 100 kilometers away. There is an island extending out in this passage, and the northernmost Chenghuang Island is only 40 kilometers away from the Liaodong Peninsula.

At this time, the eastern and southern parts of the Liaodong Peninsula had been captured by the Shandong army, and the area from Zhenjiang to Liaodong Peninsula had also been captured. As long as the passage from Dengzhou to Liaodong Peninsula is blocked, the route from the Qing army to return to Liaodong can be blocked. Whether these warships fled to the Liaodong Peninsula, ran to the Yalu River, or drifted over, most of them would be captured by the Shandong army. It doesn't matter if they ran to North Korea.

The six warships of the First Fleet immediately chased the Qing army warships fleeing to Liaodong Bay. Two flying shears in the fleet, one urgently reported to the Longkou Army headquarters and the other urgently reported to the Liaodong General Staff.

Just two hours later, Longkou received the news.

According to the First Fleet, there were more than 30 Qing army warships paralyzed by them, and more than 20 fled. The more than 30 warships had no sails and could only drift with the waves, and they would not float too far for a while. As long as they searched the Bohai Sea in a network, they would all be found.

The more than 20 Qing warships that fled were likely to land on the Liaodong Peninsula, and some might run back to North Korea, or even come to Shandong. Those drifting Qing warships may also drift to Shandong.

"Lord, the Qing army navy is full of people and is starting from North Korea and wanting to return to Liaodong by sea, Huang Taiji is likely to be on the ship." Mao Yuanyi said to Zhao Yan.

"It's very likely that I'm at a desperate situation." Zhao Yan also felt that this speculation was very reasonable.

Mao Yuanyi suggested: "Although we don't have enough warships, we have seventy merchant ships and ten frigates. Judging from the news sent back by the First Fleet, Jianlu's navy had no artillery and was not proficient in jumping gang operations. We can put all the eighty ships in our hands into the combat sequence, completely block the Liaodong Bay, and capture Jianlu warships."

"That's it." Zhao Yan specifically explained: "We must capture Huang Taiji alive, and at the same time, let Shandong Coastal Guard strengthen coastal alert."

...The First Fleet's pursuit of Qing warships from morning to afternoon. When they chased to Liaodong Bay, no Qing warships had arrived here.

At this time, at the entrance of Liaodong Bay, merchant ships carrying these soldiers were already cruising back and forth. The Longkou Military Headquarters mobilized thirty ships to block the area.

There is an average of one ship in three kilometers. During the day, you can find any ship trying to enter the Liaodong Bay. After discovering it, you can use rockets to attack the enemy ships, or you can jump to capture the enemy ships.

However, it was invisible at night, so the Longkou Army also distributed fifteen ships in Liaodong Bay to prevent any fish that had leaked the net.

At the same time, ten frigates that had just arrived also left Longkou and joined the pursuit of the Qing navy.

These are all the ships that Longkou can mobilize, and the other ships are in Liaodong. However, the combat orders have been passed to Liaodong, and those ships will also join the combat sequence one after another.

As dusk gradually arrived, the First Fleet and ten frigates also began to clear the Qing army warships drifting on the sea.

Without sails, these warships could only float with the waves, and there was no way to run away. After the First Fleet approached these drifting warships, they first fired a few shots, and then shouted that they would not kill them.

There was no Qing army at the sea, and under coercion, he could only put down his weapons and surrender to the Shandong Navy. Even the Qing army, the stubborn Qing army, could not resist such coercion.

Before dark, the Shandong Navy captured a total of more than a dozen Qing warships, nearly 1,500 people from Zhengbai Banner, and more than 1,500 war horses.

At this time, the sky was dim and I could no longer move. I could only wait the next day before looking for the Qing army warships that were struck and paralyzed on the sea.

The Liaodong General Staff received the battle report from the First Fleet and immediately ordered Lin Yi to draw half of the cavalry and lead 14,000 cannon fodder troops to block the eastern coast of the Liaodong Peninsula. Zhao Yong continued to attack Fuzhou with two thousand cavalry as cover.

It also ordered all thirty-five transport ships in Liaodong to carry combat soldiers and rockets to conduct a dragnet search in the eastern waters of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Before nightfall, they captured three Qing warships.

When the dawn of dawn illuminated the sea the next day, the large-scale clearance of the Qing Navy began. The Shandong Army stopped the transportation of all personnel and materials, dispatched all ships, and tried to capture Huang Taiji in one fell swoop.

However, Zhao Yan's expectations were destined to fail. It was not Huang Taiji who returned to Liaodong by sea, but Dorgon. After the warship Dorgon was struck and paralyzed, he floated all the way that night, and he didn't know where to go.

At dawn the next day, Dorgon discovered that there was still a vast sea ahead and he had no idea where he was. In this era of navigation where you can only know the direction with a compass, you cannot determine your position in the vast sea and can only drive in one direction.

This is also the reason why sea charts were extremely important in ancient times, and ships only took the routes on the sea chart when they went to sea. However, although Dorgon didn't know where he was, if the sails were still there, he could get back to Liaodong as long as he continued to drive north.

But their sails were completely broken.

"Where are we floating in?" Dorgon asked.

"Prince Rui, we seem to be drifting south." The navy general replied.

Dorgon's face suddenly changed, "Looking south? Wouldn't he float to Shandong?"

"Yes, yes, possible." The navy general replied, wiping the sweat, but Dorgon was surprisingly calm, and he said for a while: "Then let's go to Shandong."

"What?" Everyone couldn't keep up with Dorgon's thinking. Looking at Dorgon in disbelief, Dorgon said, "I, Manchu, were originally ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but because some people were ruthless, they offended Shangguo. At this time, they were lost and turned back, and they surrendered to Shangguo."

"Prince Rui..." Gushan'e beside Dorgon looked at Dorgon in confusion, not understanding why Dorgon suddenly had a 180-degree transformation.

"You don't need to say much, please immediately write a letter to this king to express our regret." Dorgon said decisively, but he failed to return to Liao, but instead drifted to Shandong. Dorgon was already in a desperate situation, so he naturally had to make some considerations for the future.

Last night, Dorgon thought about it for a night that the Shandong Army was stronger than the Qing Dynasty, both on land and on sea. Shandong was in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and could use huge manpower and material resources at any time. As long as he trained according to the Shandong Army, he would continue to invest the source of the disease on the Liaodong battlefield.

The biggest advantage of the Qing Dynasty compared to the Ming Dynasty was that it could concentrate its strength, but the Ming Dynasty had strong manpower and material resources but could not be used. In addition, the military corruption caused the Qing Dynasty to continue to win.

But the emergence of the Shandong Army reversed this situation in one fell swoop.

Although Dorgon had never seen the combat effectiveness of the Shandong Army on land, the sharpness of Shandong arms as Duoduo said was greater than that of all Ming troops. At the same time, the equipment of the Shandong Army was better than that of all Ming troops, and it was an elite army. This experience at sea also allowed Dorgon to see the power of the Shandong Army's artillery.

This time, the 60,000 troops of Huangtaiji were surrounded in North Korea, and with his Zhengbai Banner, it reached 70,000. The wealth, people and animals were not captured, but they were still completely lost. Even if Duoduo controlled most of the Qing Dynasty's troops, his vitality was severely damaged.

The more Dorgon thought about it, the more he felt that the end of the Qing Dynasty had arrived. If it were normal, even if it was at the end of the road, Dorgon would choose to fight.

However, he was trapped in the ocean at this time and had to drift to Shandong, without even the capital to fight. In order not to become a prisoner, Dorgon had to surrender, hoping to be effective... On March 15th, after the net-style search of the Bohai Sea was launched, twenty-three Qing warships were captured in the Bohai Sea that day, and eleven landing Qing troops were annihilated on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Nearly twenty Qing army warships were missing. On the 16th, Dorgon drifted to Hailu Island and ran directly on the beach.

The Chengshanwei, who was inspecting the sea, was soon discovered that when Dorgon landed on the island in Chengshanwei, he immediately ordered people to send some of the letters of surrender.

Chengshanwei then controlled Dorgon and a boat of people, and then urgently reported to Longkou.

On the 16th, Zhao Yan received a report and learned from the captive Qing army that the one who went to sea this time was Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner, and Huang Taiji was still in North Korea.

This disappointed Zhao Yan. He issued an order that night to stop searching the Bohai Sea and continue to be transported.

Suddenly, he received another report from Chengshanwei, saying that Dorgon came to surrender. Zhao Yan snorted coldly after hearing this: "I want to surrender when I am desperate? Do you think of my Shandong as a place? Let Chengshanwei release Dorgon to Zhaojiabao Military Court."

"This Dorgon should have some value for utilization. According to the return of the Liaodong Special Forces Brigade, Duoduo has now controlled most of the pseudo-Qing troops, and Dorgon is Duoduo's biological brother. The lord might as well keep his life first and send him to the construction site to build roads." Mao Yuanyi said to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan didn't care much about this. In the face of absolute strength, such a plan of power is no longer important. He took the surrender written by Dorgon, looked at the heartbroken words of remorse on the surrender, and said lightly: "Let the military court try it as much as it should. If he is sentenced to death, he will be decent about his regretful attitude, and send it to the construction site to build the road first and postpone the final procedure."

"Haoge, Daishan, and Dorgon are all finished. Next, I will take Huang Taiji to attack." Zhao Yan said murderously.
Chapter completed!
