Seeing that the Qing army attack ship was about to collide with the Ming army's Haicang ship, the sea cang ship suddenly turned around and dodged the attack of the Qing army's attack ship. At the same time, a Cormorant-class privateer passed three hundred meters from the side of the attack ship, and the port side was in full swing, spitting out balls of fire from the gun door, and nine six-pounder guns firing at the same time. The Ming gunners trained by the British fought accurately and ruthlessly, and at a distance of 300 meters, nine guns fired in unison, and six shells hit the target!

The red-hot solid bullet hit the Qing army attack ship, igniting the firewood and oil on the ship, and the fire attack ship suddenly burst into flames, burning on the sea, and the Qing soldiers on the ship jumped on the boat one after another, dropped the fire and attacked the ship and fled for their lives.

The privateer's left rudder was full, and the starboard side, which had been loaded with shells and had not yet been fired, was aimed at another Qing military attack ship 600 meters away. While the starboard side was preparing for launch, the port side, which had just fired a round, was nervously reloading shells.

"Six hundred, starboard ready!" The gun commander shouted.

The Qing army attacked the ships and gradually approached, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to 500 meters.

"Five hundred! Aim at the target and get ready to ignite! ”

"Four hundred, put!"

Fireballs erupted from the starboard gun door, and the sound of a salvo of six-pounder guns shook the sea and the sky.

Four of the nine shells hit the target, shattering the planks of the Qing attack ship and shattering the wood. A red-hot cannonball bounced a few times, and then fell on the firewood and grass pile of the ship, scorching the firewood and emitting a thick smoke.

Seeing this, some of the Qing soldiers on the fire attack ship picked up a wooden plank and tried to pluck the shells away. However, as soon as the plank was pushed, the fiery red iron ball rolled a few times, but left a black mark on the firewood pile, and some straw had already ignited a fire.

"Splash water!" A junior officer of the Qing army shouted.

Two Qing soldiers poured water on the firewood and grass pile, and the cold sea water touched the red-hot iron ball, and a cloud of steam rose with a "pop", and the fire on the firewood and grass pile was finally extinguished.

Just when the Qing soldiers were hurriedly extinguishing the fire, a small boat of the Ming army rushed to the front like an arrow, and a row of rockets like locusts were shot from the small boat, which ignited the Qing army's fire attack ship that had just been extinguished.

The three big ships behind the Ming army were swimming back and forth, using the method of battle line formation, taking turns to bombard the Qing army's attack ships from a long distance with guns on the left and right sides, and cooperating with centipede clippers and small boats to send the fire attack ships that posed the greatest threat to themselves to the bottom of the sea. The medium-sized ships of the Ming army, such as the Haicang ship and the Cangshan ship, used the cannons on the bow and the small guns on both sides to shoot in turn, and also sank many Qing military attack ships that tried to collide with them.

None of the 23 fire attack ships of the Haikou Navy Division succeeded in playing a role, except for one that rushed to the Determination and was smashed to pieces by a salvo of the Determination a hundred meters away, most of the rest of the fire attack ships were sunk by the Ming army's small boats and centipede clippers, and a small part were sunk by privateers, Haicang ships and Cangshan ships from a long distance.

"The Tartar fire attack ship has been extinguished! We attack the Tartar ship! Zhang Yukun pulled out his sword and pointed forward.

The Resolve took the lead, with two Cormorant-class ships, lined up in a column, and rushed straight to the largest Haicang ship of the Qing army.

Several small boats of the Qing army tried to block the car with their mantis arms and rushed to stop the three large ships. Several Qing army boats blocked the way of the Resolve, and the Qing soldiers on the ship operated small guns on the bow and bombarded weakly.

A volley of shells landed in the sea in front of the Resolve, raising a column of water that soared into the sky.

The Resolve didn't dodge at all, and the bow was aimed at a small Qing army boat and crushed over.

Looking at the huge body of the gradually enlarged Resolve cruiser, the Qing soldiers on this small ship of the Qing army jumped into the sea in fright. Just as the last of the soldiers jumped into the sea, the Resolve crashed headlong into the boat, hearing only a tooth-aching cracking of wood, and the cedar-made skiff was smashed into a pile of broken planks by the Determination made of hard oak.

The Qing boats that hid on both sides fired rockets, which hit the board of the Resolve and were instead bounced into the sea. At this moment, the guns of the Resolve were fired one after the other. The sound of rolling thunder echoed on the sea, scarlet fireballs erupted from the cannon doors, rows of shotguns swept across the sea, and the Qing soldiers standing on several small boats shooting arrows were all beaten into hornet's nests in the blink of an eye, and the corpses on the small boats were strewn with blood, and the boats were stained red with blood.

The bow of the ship was aimed at the main warships of the Qing army of the Ming army, and the cannonballs smashed over like hailstones, and successively landed in front of the Determination and in the sea water on both sides, stirring up countless milky white water columns.

Although the shooting of the Qing army was spectacular, the hit rate was extremely poor, and the distance was so far that none of the salvos of dozens of Qing warships hit, and all the shells fell into the sea.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and when there were only 400 meters left, the Qing army, which had just finished firing a round, was still nervously loading, and there was no time to carry out a second round of artillery bombardment.

Qing Jun Qian sat on his Haicang boat and saw the Determination rushing out of the white gunsmoke, with its white sails and copper-colored tall hull, which looked as beautiful as a fairy emerging from a fairyland.

"Rush forward! Ship with them! Qing Jun Qian shouted.

Two Haicang ships and more than a dozen Cangshan ships were the main warships of the Qing army. The soldiers on the ship stared at the giant ship approaching at full speed, and they prepared grappling hooks, ropes, and knives and guns, hoping to wait for the giant ship to pass in front of them, and then attach them to the sideboard.

However, Zhang Yukun did not give the Qing army a chance to take on the broadside battle at all.

When the three giant ships were about to rush into the Qing fleet, they suddenly filled the rudder on the right side at the same time, and the three ships lined up in a column, passing in front of the Qing fleet, at a distance of 200 meters, the port side of the three giant ships opened full fire, and the thirty-two naval guns began an earth-shattering salvo, and a row of dazzling firelight erupted from the gun door, billowing white smoke rose from the sea, and the cannonballs whistled like mountains and seas, smashing into the Qing fleet.

More than a dozen Cangshan ships placed in front of them became the first targets to be hit, and the shells hit the ship's plank, smashed the wooden plank, and sprayed countless pieces of wood, beating the Qing soldiers on the ship to the ground. The hot cannonballs scurried and jumped on the deck of the ship, constantly splashing sharp pieces of wood, and the Qing soldiers who were grazed by the cannonballs were directly broken bones, and stumps and broken arms flew sideways. Hot shells collided back and forth, sparks everywhere they went. After a few hits of the cannonball, it stayed on the deck, and the fiery red cannonball burned the ship's board black, and black smoke rose, attracting the Qing soldiers to surround and scramble to extinguish the fire.

Other shells landed in the sea, raising huge columns of water that shook the ship's hull with agitation.

"Stick it up!" The commander of the Qing army ship roared hoarsely.

The Qing army's ship was raised with full sails, and there were people on the smaller Cangshan boat who shook the oars vigorously in order to speed up the ship and stick to the Ming army's giant ship as soon as possible to launch a broadside battle.

It was impossible for Zhang Yukun to let the Qing army come closer, so he ordered the left rudder.

The three giant ships pulled out a curve and lined up in a battle line to circle the Qing fleet. Inside the gun deck, the gunners were nervously cleaning the chambers, loading gunpowder, stuffing the planks, and loading grapeshot. When everything was done, the distance between the two sides was only about 150 meters.

When the Ming gunners loaded the shells, the Qing soldiers fired desperately with the small cannons on the side of the gunwale, but the range of these shoddy small cannons was too close, and the hit rate was extremely low, most of the shells fell into the sea, and occasionally a cannonball hit the Ming warship, but it was bounced off by the thick board of the oak structure and fell into the sea. Only one shell hit the sail of the Resolve, leaving a hole in the white canvas, but it was not in the way.

"Put!" Zhang Yukun gave an order.

The small flags on the flagship waved, and the gun commanders of the ships shouted almost simultaneously: "Open the guns on the port side!" ”

The three battleships burst into a dazzling fire again, and long white smoke erupted from the gun doors and rose on the surface of the sea, and the sea was reflected in the red light of the guns.

The salvo of thirty-two naval guns formed a huge killing fan, and the iron beads swept through the Qing warships like a torrential rain, and the Qing soldiers who were standing on the side of the ship ready to engage in the battle fell one by one, leaving countless blood holes in their bodies, and the lifeless bodies fell on the deck, and the blood holes "poofed" and blistered blood, and soon dyed a large area of the deck red.

Originally, the Qing soldiers planned to engage in the broadside battle, but who knew that the shotgun fired by the Ming army caused the Qing soldiers gathered on the deck to suffer heavy casualties, and on the ship that was hit, almost all the gunners, archers, melee hand-to-hand combatants and sailors operating the sails were swept away, and a scarlet blood mist erupted on the deck, and then a ghost crying wolf howl sounded.

The centipede clippers of the Ming army rushed into the Qing fleet with small boats, and launched a broadside battle against the Qing warships that had been swept away by the shotguns.

Although it is said that these ships of the Qing army and sailors are very rubbish, it is not easy to build a ship, and to build a ship, the wood needs to be dried for many years. Being able to capture a batch of small boats can also enhance one's own strength, so Wang Xinyu explained to Zhang Yukun that after sweeping with a shotgun, he could let the hand-to-hand combatants board the enemy ship to seize the ship.

When the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Ming army threw out their grappling hooks and climbed onto the Cangshan boat of the Qing army, they did not encounter any resistance, because the Qing soldiers on the ship were either dead or wounded, and the few people who survived had already hidden in the deck and did not dare to show their heads at all.

Soon, the four Cangshan boats were taken down, the green flags on the ships were torn off and thrown into the sea, and the flagpole was raised with the fiery red Daming flag and the blue sun and moon flag.

The three main warships went straight to the Haicang ship where the Qing army was located.

Under the command of the British captain, the British sailors who operated the soft sails and the Ming sailors cooperated tacitly, and the huge hull made a dexterous left turn and inserted directly from the center of the Qing fleet. The starboard guns, which had not yet fired, fired a volley, causing a rushing Cangshan ship to burst into flames, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The two cormorant ships behind lined up in a column, closely following the Determination, and the starboard side spat out balls of fireballs in turn, knocking the Qing ships sideways.

After the training of British sailors during this time, the Ming sailors have mastered some skills in operating soft sails, but compared to their masters, the British, there is still a certain gap between the Ming sailors, and it will take a while to exercise.

The three giant ships went straight to the largest Haicang ship in the middle, and when the giant ship passed a hundred meters away from the port side of the Haicang ship, the three giant ships took turns firing dense shotguns.

The Qing army Qianzong watched as the guns of the giant ship opposite kept spitting out fire, and the Qing soldiers on his ship fell one after another in a pool of blood.

The Qing soldiers on the Haicang ship counterattacked with small cannons, but it looked very ridiculous, just like a bare-handed child against a strong man armed to the teeth, the small cannons on the side of the Qing army could not pose any threat to the giant ship at all, but were retaliated by the Ming army more violently.

Shotguns rained down on the Qing warships, and the corpses on the deck were piled up and bleeding into rivers.

"Whoosh" an iron ball shot and hit the right arm of the Qing army's sailor Qianzong, and the iron ball cut off half of the right arm like a sharp steel knife.

"Your Excellency!" A soldier pounced on his benefactor, bandaging his wound and pressing down on the top of the severed arm to stop the bleeding.

Qing Jun Qianzong struggled to stand up, held a knife with his left arm, pointed in the direction of the Ming battleship, and roared with his last strength: "Open the cannon!" ”

The Qing soldiers on the ship suffered heavy casualties, and only three Qing soldiers were left with a small cannon, aimed at the Determination, and ignited the cannon. A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle, and a cannonball landed weakly in the sea behind the Resolve, making a splash.

Seeing the Ming army boats coming up from all around, the general manager of the Qing army sighed: "The thieves are powerful, I swear not to surrender the thieves!" Only to repay the country with death! After speaking, the Qing army commander struggled to cross the Yanling knife with his left hand, ready to kill himself.

"Your Excellency!" Several pro-soldiers surrounded him and struggled to grab the knife, but it was too late, and the Qing army's sailor Qian Zong had already wiped his neck with a knife.

The Ming army climbed the Haicang boat, and several personal soldiers covered in blood met the battle, and all of them were cut down in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the green flag on the flagship was cut down and replaced with a Ming army battle flag, all the Qing army sailors had lost their fighting spirit and cut off their masts to surrender to the Ming army.
