Wang Xinyu was embarrassed at this time, and the four battleships of the Yuan Ming Army that had surrendered to the enemy were flanking him on the left and right, always sailing side by side with his own battleship, but he always maintained a certain distance, and did not let his battleship get close to the range of the flowering shells of 300 paces. The pesky clipper in the back, always biting his ass and spanking. Every time his warship turned around, the centipede clipper with the "Shi" flag took advantage of the small size and fast speed of the ship to flash past its side, and then rushed to the back to continue the attack.

From time to time, shells fell on Wang Xinyu's ship, and the Ming troops on board suffered many casualties.

Shi Lang's ship was indeed very cunning, biting after Wang Xinyu and chasing his ass, always maintaining a distance of about four hundred steps. As soon as the Ming army ship turned, Shi Lang also immediately commanded his ship to turn, and increased his speed, went around the back of the Ming ship's butt and continued to bite his buttocks. Moreover, when the Ming ship was turning, it just gave Shi Lang a T-shaped top, so that Shi Lang's broadside firepower could be exerted and more shells were smashed into the tail of the Ming army's big ship. Although occasionally when turning, a cannonball hit Shi Lang's ship, but after all, the solid cannonball did not do much damage, and the distance was so far away, it took a lot of luck to seize the opportunity to hit once.

If Wang Xinyu didn't turn all the time, Shi Lang would take the opportunity to catch up, rush to the position of about three hundred steps and stare at the butt and beat him hard, and then quickly pull away.

Although a small cannon such as a bowl mouth gun can be installed on the stern, the small cannon has a very short range and cannot reach Shi Lang's warship.

Wang Xinyu couldn't wait to immediately turn his head and tear the nasty clipper behind him to shreds: the hit rate of Shi Lang's warship was actually not high, and it was also a solid cannonball, but from time to time a cannonball hit his stern. The rudder at the tail has been beaten to pieces, and there are cannonballs that even penetrate the entire rudder, the shattered planks have caused casualties among the Ming troops, and the sailors in charge of the helm have been replaced by three people. It is no longer known how many shells hit the helm, and a large hole appeared in the entire stern, as if a hole had opened a door. But Wang Xinyu couldn't go back to trouble Shi Lang, because there were still four warships attacking him. If it is one-on-one, or if he has teammates to help him, Wang Xinyu believes that with the large number of cannons on his ship, coupled with the benefits of flowering cannonballs, he will definitely be able to sink Shi Lang to the bottom of the sea.

It's a pity that the two Ming warships in front didn't dare to turn back to help, and only cared about fleeing for their lives.

Fortunately, Wang Xinyu let his warship constantly fire chain bullets and attack the enemy ships that were attacking him on both sides, causing the sails of the enemy ships to be shot down from time to time, so he had to stop and raise the sails again. In this way, the other party can't concentrate on chasing after him.

There were even a few times when he turned, but Shi Lang's ship didn't have time to dodge, and two chain bullets hit Shi Lang's clipper, causing his sails to fall as well. It's just that the clipper uses both oars and sails, and shooting down the sails has little effect on it.

But Wang Xinyu didn't know that Shi Lang was also holding back a fire at this time: his sail was shot down twice by chain shells, and he was hit by solid cannonballs three times, killing and wounding many sailors. And the four surrendered Ming warships were not powerful, and the hit rate was really unbearable, otherwise they would have broken the opponent's mast long ago, so that the opponent would have lost the ability to maneuver, and with a shout, a large group of small boats could surround it, and fill Wang Xinyu's big ship to death with human lives.

It turned out that on the four Ming warships that surrendered, the original Ming gunners actually secretly released the water. After all, they were all their own people, and now they are being forced to attack their former partners with knives, and it is not easy to change anyone. The gunners of the original Ming army did not attack hard, either deliberately filling the gunpowder less, or deflecting the muzzle of the cannon a little. It's just that I couldn't pretend anymore, so I hit the big ship hard. In this way, the hit rate of the front-loading smoothbore gun, which was already low, was even lower, and it took several hundred shells to hit one or two rounds.

"The allies in front of us can go back and help, and we won't be so embarrassed!" Wang Xinyu looked at the two Ming warships in front of him indignantly.

The sailor said: "Lord Huiwang, the Tartars are overwhelming, and they don't dare to rashly turn back and die now." But it's okay, hold on a little longer, and when we're almost within range of our battery, they'll come back to help us. ”

In fact, the Ming soldiers on the two warships really didn't turn back because they were afraid of death, but they wanted to tell the friendly troops on the island about Chen Peng's defection as soon as possible.

The battleship was about to approach the Takasaki camp, and a Ming soldier exclaimed: "Look, our camp! How was it occupied by the Tartars? ”

Wang Xinyu said indignantly: "Chen Peng, that dog thief, since he will hand us over to the Tartars, he must have already surrendered!" The Tartar must not have gone up so quickly, it must have been Chen Peng, the dog thief, who changed the flag! ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do now?" A pro-soldier asked.

At this time, Wang Xinyu was most at ease with the eighty-four elite soldiers he had trained. Now that Chen Peng has defected to the enemy, those elite soldiers don't know what to do. But he believes that Chen Python will not defect to the enemy, and those elite soldiers who have trained themselves are all men, and they will not defect to the enemy! But now they are in danger, and they have to find a way to save them. What to do?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xinyu said: "Let's continue to the west and avoid Shi Lang's dog thief for the time being!" If the Tartars were to land in Takasaki, it would be impossible for Shi Lang's dog thief to follow us all the time, and he would have to protect his fleet. We'll turn back a moment and shell their landing ships! Even if we all die here today, we can't let the Tartars get their wish! ”

"Whoa!" The pro-soldier saluted.

The two Ming warships in front had already seen that the Gaoqi battalion had changed the green flag, and the Ming sailors on the warship drove the boat through the Gaoqi sea area quickly, and headed for the direction of Gulangyu Island in the west at full speed, they just wanted to alert Zheng Chenggong as soon as possible and tell him: Chen Peng has defected.

In the northwest of Xiamen Island, there are many forts such as Niutou Mountain, Xianyue Mountain and Huwei Mountain, and the southwest is Gulangyu, the center of Zheng's army, so the Qing army will not choose to land from the northwest.

At the Niutoushan Fort, several Ming soldiers saw two Ming warships running down in embarrassment on the sea to the north.

"They're signaling!" A Ming soldier shouted.

"Not good! Chen Peng of Takasaki has defected! "The Ming army got the news.

In the camp of Commander Weng Tianyou, a pro-soldier came to report: "Report to your lord!" Chen Peng of Takasaki has defected! ”

Weng Tianyou was taken aback: "The main forces of our army are all blocking the landing of Tartars in the southeast, and now the troops in the hands of this officer are insufficient!" Hurry up and send a wolf smoke signal to King Yanping! This official immediately led 500 men and horses from his headquarters to Takasaki! ”

"No!" The pro-soldiers retreated.

After the two Ming warships gave the signal, they turned back and headed in the direction of Takasaki.

Besides, Shi Lang chased Wang Xinyu until Gaoqi, and saw that the Ming warships in front of him continued to flee westward, and his main task was to cover the landing of the Qing army, so Shi Lang ordered: "Give up the pursuit!" Wang Yu's thief, let him live a few more days! We are waiting for the army to land! ”

Shi Lang didn't dare to pursue more, if he chased a little longer, there was Weng Tianyou's camp in front, but there was a Ming army battery, and he rashly chased over, wouldn't he die in vain.

Watching the boats rowing towards the shore, Shi Lang was full of ambition: as long as Wang Shi went ashore, Chen Peng took his troops to meet Wang Shi. Then Wang Shi took advantage of the emptiness of Zheng Chenggong's defense to the north, and rushed straight to the port of Xiamen in the south, captured Zheng Chenggong's naval division camp in one fell swoop, burned down his naval dock, occupied the shipyard, occupied the granary, and uprooted the foundation of the puppet Ming Zheng Cheng on land in one fell swoop. Seeing the fire in the camp of the Navy Division, the heart of the Puppet Ming Zheng Rebellion Army was shaken, and the morale of the Great Qingshui Division was greatly boosted, and he took advantage of the situation to annihilate the main force of Zheng Rebellion's Division. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Chenggong led the remnants to flee to Kinmen Island. But soon after, he led the victorious army, took advantage of the power of victory, captured Kinmen Island in one go, and finally took Zheng Chenggong's head into Beijing to receive the reward......

Wang Xinyu ordered the boat to stop and looked back at Takasaki Beach.

I saw that a large group of Qing army ships had already landed on the beach, and a large number of Qing soldiers jumped off the boat and rushed towards the beach.

"Brethren! We're going to kill it back! Kill the Tartar with a return pistol! Can't let the Tartars go ashore so easily! Wang Xinyu pulled out his sword and pointed in the direction of Gaoqi Beach.

The big ship turned in a different direction and rushed towards Takasaki Beach.

Seeing the Ming warships that killed the landing fleet, Shi Lang ordered his own soldiers: "Give an order to the naval division battleship, don't allow the Ming dog warship to approach our landing fleet!" ”

"Wow!"

Shi Langza's ship issued a flag, and the four warships of the original Ming army immediately rushed towards Wang Xinyu's battleship.

The four warships spit out bursts of white smoke, and the cannonballs fell on the sea around the Ming army's big ships, raising columns of water that soared into the sky.

The Ming ships rushed up, and the four warships understood the power of the flowering shells, and they were reluctant to open fire on their original partners, so they avoided them in both directions.

Seeing this, the soldiers pointed to the warships and said to Wang Xinyu: "Lord Wang, they seem to be reluctant to fire at us. ”

"In that case, let's just ignore them and concentrate on attacking the Tartar landing fleet!" Wang Xinyu said.

"No!"

The warship rushed towards the enemy landing convoy, and the red-coated cannon in the bow of the ship spewed out a ball of fire, and a small Qing boat half a mile away was hit, and the 24-pound solid bullet smashed the boat into a hole on the spot, and the Qing soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties, and the boat sank into the sea soon after.

The battleship, which raised its full sails, ploughed through the white waves and moved forward at a rapid pace, smashing a small Qing army boat to pieces.

A volley of fire was fired at the starboard guns of the Qing fleet, and five 2,000-pound Franc machine cannons fired a row of shotguns at the same time, causing countless small water columns to rise on the sea. The steel ball projectile hit the plank of the boat with a crackling sound, and the Qing soldiers on the boat were hit by the projectile, and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways, and many people fell into the sea screaming.

Wang Xinyu suddenly felt a shock to his ship, and a solid cannonball hit the stern. The shell entered through the stern of the ship, which had been opened with a hole, passed through the helmhouse, and smashed onto the middle deck, causing fragments of wood to fly everywhere, causing many casualties among Ming soldiers.

"Shi Lang dog thief!" Wang Xinyu saw that the centipede clipper didn't know when it went around his back again, and was biting his ass and shelling violently.

The big ship turned, and Shi Lang's clipper also turned, never letting the side of the big ship be aimed at him.

Shi Lang's clippers fired guns one after another, but the clippers had few guns and little power, and the hit rate was not high, so they couldn't do much damage to the big ships. And Wang Xinyu simply ignored Shi Lang at this time, and commanded his battleship to attack the Qing army's landing boat desperately, and the sea surface was stained red with blood.

Not far from the "boom", two cannon shots were heard on the sea to the west.

The two battleships flying the battle flag of the Ming army also came back and opened fire on the Qing landing fleet.

Seeing his green battalion soldiers constantly killed in the sea, Shi Lang's face turned pale: "Give orders to those four warships and let them attack!" ”

"Wow!"

Shi Langza's ship sent a signal, asking the four landing ships to immediately cooperate with him to attack Wang Xinyu's big ship. As long as the most threatening ship is sunk, the remaining two medium warships are not much of a threat.

The four warships of the former Ming army shot a few shells, and the shells fell weakly in the sea far away from Wang Xinyu's ship.

On one of the Ming ships, a Qing soldier with a big knife stood behind the gunner Wu Haodong and shouted: "Damn! You're tired of living, aren't you? Give Lao Tzu a punctual call! If you don't get it right, Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife! ”

Wu Haodong glared at the Qing soldier with blood-red eyes. He was originally a Jiangnan person, born in a scholarly family, and was originally a famous talent. But an order to keep his hair and not his head made him flee all the way to Fujian and defect to Zheng Jiajun. But now, Chen Peng has sold himself to Tartar!

"What are you doing? Want to rebel? Qing Bing was glared at by Wu Haodong a little hairy, brandished a big knife, and shouted fiercely outside and inside.

At this moment, a big wave suddenly came, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and the Qing soldier was unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the deck.

Wu Haodong suddenly turned around, pressed down the Qing soldier, stepped on his big knife with one foot, and strangled the Qing soldier's neck with both hands: "Dog Tartar!" It's enough for Lao Tzu to kill one today! ”

Not far away, another Qing soldier saw the sudden change and was about to rush over with a knife. Suddenly, he tripped over a cable under his feet and fell into the mud, and the three Ming gunners jumped up like lightning and snatched the knife of the Qing soldier, killing him in one fell swoop.

On the ship, the Ming army and the Qing soldiers, the Ming army and Chen Peng's henchmen have already become a group.

After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, the Ming army eliminated the Qing soldiers on the ship and Chen Peng's henchmen, and regained control of the battleship.

Wu Haodong picked up the big knife from the corpse of the Qing soldier on the ground, cut the rope on the flagpole with one sword, and the green flag fell, which was ignited by him with a torch and burned to ashes.

The red flag of the Ming army was raised again on the battleship, and the battleship that was anyway again suddenly rushed towards Shi Lang's ship.

At this time, Shi Lang was biting Wang Xinyu's ass and beating him violently, and he couldn't prevent the green flag on a battleship from being gone, and hung the red flag again, which scared Shi Lang out of a cold sweat. If the Ming warships opened fire on themselves at this time, they would fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs. If he dodged the Ming warships behind, then Wang Xinyu's battleship could blow his boat into pieces as soon as he fired a salvo of flowering bullets.

"Right hand drive! Don't go near the big boat of Ming Dog! Shi Lang shouted in a hurry.

Shi Lang didn't want to die here, there were so many glory and wealth waiting for him, how could he die in vain. Anyway, his task was to send the Qing army ashore. He believed that as long as the Qing army came ashore, Chen Peng, who had already returned to the Qing Dynasty, would take the Qing army to burn down Zheng Chenggong's sailor camp. And these warships are not a big deal to make trouble at sea, they will not be able to sink all the small ships of the Qing army. What's more, there are now more than 3,000 Qing soldiers ashore, and there are still many elites of the Eight Banners. Shi Lang saw that the hundreds of elites of the green battalion who were fighting on the shore had rushed through the unguarded women's wall, and there seemed to be a Ming army in front of them who had returned to the royal division running out to greet them, it should have been to send armor to the royal division, right?

In order to wade ashore, the Qing army did not carry heavy armor, and Chen Peng would provide some heavy armor after going ashore.
