However, Putmans, who was watching through the monoculars, frowned, put down the binoculars to look, and picked up the binoculars to look at them again, his face full of doubt. Eventually, he turned his head to look at Ai Bige, who had already returned to the fleet, and asked, "Are the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom all brave?" ”

Hearing this, Abigor had a question mark on his head, and confirmed in bewilderment, "I don't know what Your Excellency the Governor means?" ”

"You see, although the Ming troops on the shore have retreated, they are not panicking." When Putmans said this, he suddenly aggravated his tone, and emphatically said, "The most important thing is, you see, how many people died in the Ming army? “

As soon as he heard this, Ai Bige took a closer look and really found that in this battle, there were really few dead in the Ming army. Looking at the behavior of the Ming army from this, we found that although they seemed to be panicked, they were really not panicked. What scattered and fled, what officers supervised the battle, what defeated and retreated, it was a bit fake!

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Putmans speak quickly and asked him again: "In this Taiping Port, apart from Zheng Yiguan's sailors, are there any other troops?" ”

"No, the nearest army, that's also an army stationed in Fuzhou......" Ai Bige just replied here, and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be ......?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a sudden big change on the shore.

I saw the pirates ashore, wielding knives and guns, swarming towards the warehouses by the docks, but at this moment, I saw the doors of those warehouses suddenly open, and a group of heavily armed soldiers came out in formation. The armor on their bodies reflected a dazzling light under the illumination of the morning sun, and the steel spears were like a forest, which also reflected a dazzling cold light.

Behind these pikemen were bands of archers, who, after exiting the door of the warehouse, fired arrows that leapfrogged the pikemen in front of them, obscuring the sun's rays and raining down on the pirates.

And on the street leading to the pier, there are groups of arquebusiers, kneeling in front, half-squatting in the back, and then standing in the back, and the arquebus "babble" continuously, incessantly.

The pirates who were in excitement, when they saw this formation, suddenly did not even put up a resistance, and turned their heads and ran towards the ship.

Putmans opened his mouth wide in surprise and stammered, "This is ...... This is the regular army of the Ming Kingdom? ”

"Impossible, how did you get here?" Ai Bige exclaimed, "Aren't they stationed in Fuzhou?" ”

On the other flagship, Liu Xiang was also stunned, he turned his head, looked at his three masters, and shouted angrily: "Why are those northerners here?" ”

"I ...... I don't know! Liang Xiaozhen heard this and hurriedly excused. Speaking of which, he really didn't know about it!

In fact, in order to keep it secret and to guard against the eyes and ears of pirates on the shore, Liu Guoneng's army, when it was confirmed that Liu Xiang and they had left the lair, took a boat down the river overnight and secretly rushed here to ambush.

Although there are many pirates, they are just pirates after all, and it is okay to catch and fight on the ship, but when they get to the shore, how can they be the opponents of the regular Ming army. At this time, on the shore, the pikemen of the Ming army were armed with spears, and with the order, they marched forward in unison, step by step, and steadily stepped forward, driving those pirates who came ashore into the sea like ducks. Archers and arquebusiers, on the other hand, are harvesting the lives of pirates! In just a short period of time, more than half of the pirates who came ashore were dead.

The pirate ships that docked on the shore did not dare to wait for all the pirates on the shore to board the ships, so they left one after another. However, there were too many pirate ships in the inner bay, and all the pirates were in a hurry to leave, but you squeezed me, I squeezed yours, and in the end, everyone couldn't move. At this time, the original fireships, as well as the sunken ships that had been shelled, became obstacles for them to escape.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!" Liu Xiang shouted loudly, thinking about escaping from Taiping Port quickly!

"The wind is tight, retreat!" Li Guozhu shouted sharply, beckoning to the few boats he had left.

“……”

Even Putmans gave the order: "gogogo......"

At this time, I don't know who it was, but suddenly I saw something, and I exclaimed loudly, pointing my finger and shouting: "Look, look, it's not good......"

Liu Xiang turned his head to look, but saw that on the sea outside, I don't know when the official sailor appeared, a big ship with a bow, surrounded by countless small boats, cutting off their back road.

"Damn, these are Zheng Yiguan's boats!" Liu Xiang was very sensitive, just looked at it, asserted, and couldn't help scolding, "This is a trap, I'm fucking fooled, quickly withdraw, quickly withdraw......"

"Gogogo......" Putmans said with a grim face and another order.

“……”

At this time, Taiping Port was already in chaos. At least in the inner harbor, it is no longer possible to tell which ship is under whose men. On the periphery, it is a little better, listening to the orders of the respective big bosses, they can basically retreat with the big bosses.

However, when they saw that so many small boats in the government sailors who had cut off their back route began to catch fire and sped away from the fleet and rushed towards them, they all panicked.

In order to avoid being stuck by those fireships, who cares who is the boss, they all want to escape from this Taiping Port first, and escape from Ascension first.

The sea is vast, and it won't be much of a problem for the outermost pirate ships to escape. But the pirate ships inside are not so lucky. The fireship with a bow approached, and from time to time the sound of "bang-bang" was heard crashing into the ship, and the pirate ship, which had not had time to escape, quickly burned up with the help of the sea breeze. The pirate ships that were not burned fled like crazy, not arguing at all, but only trying to escape to the open sea.

On a sunny day, on the sea where this Taiping Harbor is located, there are boats everywhere, people who have fallen into the water are struggling, and there are fires burning everywhere, but there will be no sinking ships for a while...... The sound of trumpets, shouts of killing, artillery, crying fathers and mothers, and other sounds are mixed and become the main theme of the here and now.

After about an hour or so, the wind calmed down, and all kinds of voices that should not have belonged to Taiping Port in the first place slowly disappeared. Only the countless corpses on the shore and the blood-stained sea can bear witness to what has just happened here.

On a high ground in Taiping Port, Zheng Zhilong accompanied Sun Chuanting, who came in person, and watched everything he saw in front of him. To be honest, he was quite shocked. After so many years of mixing at sea, this is the first time to experience a one-sided slaughter!
