c_t; Among the eighteen Zhizhi, Zheng Zhilong is the big leader, and the remaining seventeen have seats arranged in order according to their strength. Read the full text of the latest chapter, He Bin and Guo Huaiyi, who defected to Dayuangang, are the last two in the rankings, and Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi are also relatively low, and they don't have much say in the eighteen zhi. Li Kuiqi knew that he could not resist the mission assigned by Zheng Zhilong, but he still tried his best to win some benefits for himself at this juncture.

The two were ordered to leave, but when they were separated, Liu Xiang pulled Li Kuiqi and whispered: "If the battle situation is unfavorable, evacuate as soon as possible to save your life!"

Li Kuiqi looked at Liu Xiang and nodded slowly. He also understood why Liu Xiang made such a prompt, after all, the two of them were going to join forces to meet the enemy next, and if they didn't move at the same pace, it was likely that there would be chaos. Even if you can't beat and want to escape, you have to synchronize as much as possible, otherwise you may trap your companions on the battlefield and find it difficult to get out.

The two returned to the camp and each ordered his troops. However, at this time, Penghu Island and Magong Port were in chaos, and the process of their gathering of troops was not smooth, and after half an hour, they boarded the ship and went to sea, and the two failed to make up the 100-ship fleet that Zheng Zhilong requested.

Zheng Zhilong watched the fleet of the two slowly sail to the shore on the dock, and ordered with an expressionless face: "Let the boarding team speed up, individuals are not allowed to carry large items, and don't move things to the ship!"

When the relocation plan was first set, Zheng Zhilong still hoped to be able to scrape the ground and take away everything that Penghu could take away, so that he could settle down and take root faster after arriving in a new place. However, the sudden and sudden turn for the worse meant that the entire relocation plan had to be brought forward by several days, and the time available for boarding and departure was greatly reduced. In order to ensure that the evacuation of the large army was completed before the arrival of the enemy fleet, Zheng Zhilong could only order to give up part of the baggage, targeting those guys who even had to load the wardrobe, rice box, bed board and toilet with the ship. If these people had to slowly move the bulky things to the ship, I am afraid that three more days would not be enough.

Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi hurried and hurried, and finally met the vanguard fleet of the coalition forces about thirty nautical miles west of Magong Port. The vanguard convoy of four Clippers was not tasked with fighting at sea, so it quickly slowed down after spotting the pirate fleet that was leaving the port to meet it, and at the same time sent out a pyrotechnic alarm to inform the large forces behind.

"It seems that Eighteen Zhi hasn't had time to withdraw completely. ”

After receiving the reward from the front, Wang Tom said to Yan Chujie and Qian Tiandun, who were also on the flagship: "They actually sent a fleet to meet us, there are only two possibilities, one is that Zheng Zhilong has gone crazy, and the other is to buy time for their retreat. ”

Judging from the one-sided record of the Haihan militia in the past, the courage of Eighteen Zhi to dare to face Haihan head-on at sea should have disappeared long ago. After two encounters at Nanri Island last year, Shibazhi apparently realized how big the gap between the two sides was in terms of naval forces, and never sent a fleet to fight off the coast of Fujian. As long as Zheng Zhilong didn't go crazy, he should know very well how unlikely it was to defeat the Haihan fleet at sea. [See the latest chapter of the book]

"It's good to warm us up. How many ships have Eighteen Zhi come?" Yan Chujie not only did not feel the slightest nervousness when he heard the news, but was a little more excited.

"Hundreds. However, a large ship of more than 400 materials is at most one-tenth, and it will not pose much of a threat to us. Wang Tom said very easily: "If it is smooth, the battle can be resolved in about an hour." ”

Tom Wang's tone was relaxed, but he did not slack off when directing the battle. He asked the sailors to hang flags on the mainmast of the "Majesty", and asked the troop carriers and supply ships to slow down, with his own fleet in the center, and the other two fleets led by Shi Diwen and Roger on the left and right flanks, in an arc formation in the direction of the eighteen-zhi fleet. The warships of the Ming army followed closely behind, responsible for checking and filling gaps on the battlefield and helping to clean up the fish that had slipped through the net.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the fleets of both sides met at sea. Although the number of ships in the battle of Shibazhi is quite large, in terms of displacement, there is a large gap compared to the Haihan fleet. Especially compared with the large size of the "Majesty-class" warship, the so-called big ship on the side of Eighteen Zhi also looks very small. Before the battle began, just in terms of momentum, Eighteen Zhi had already lost.

The Haihan fleet skillfully grabbed the T-shaped prefix to unfold the formation, and then used the side naval guns to give the eighteenth Zhi fleet a fierce bombardment. At this distance of 200 meters, Eighteen Zhi basically had no power to fight back, and could only passively withstand the fire of Haihan. Some of the smaller sailing ships were damaged after withstanding this round of shelling and had lost the ability to continue fighting.

The communication between Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi before the battle obviously did not play a very good role, and after the first round of confrontations, some damaged ships were already trying to turn around and leave the battlefield. However, this attempt was somewhat futile in the face of the Haihan fleet, which had a clear advantage in speed, and the three Haihan fleets began to separate and cut through the fleet of the Eighteen Zhi in a line formation, and the priority was to attack the pirate ships that tried to break away from the battlefield.

Although there were some pirate ships that bravely rushed towards the Haihan warships, trying to complete the attack by jumping into the gang or setting fire to them after getting close, such attempts were basically unsuccessful under the heavy naval artillery fire. Occasionally, one or two ships approached, and before the sailors could climb the high side of the ship, a row of gun barrels protruded from it, condescendingly firing at targets on the deck of the pirate ship. The pirate sailors who did not even have leather armor had little resistance to this kind of attack, and those who reacted quickly might be able to crawl into the cabin to dodge, while the others could only serve as live targets for the Haihan sailors to practice shooting.

Only half an hour after the start of the battle, the Eighteen Zhi side had basically lost the will to fight. Although only about a quarter of the ships lost the ability to continue fighting, Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi decided that it was no longer practical to continue fighting, so they ordered a retreat.

However, the flagship they are in has been identified by Haihan's side, and it is not so easy to get out of the battlefield. "Wei Signal" and "Wei Feng" each aimed at a target and chased after it with full horsepower. And in this era, there were no sailboats that could get rid of the pursuit of the Haihan steam warships by their speed, so Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi soon found that their plans were far from keeping up with the changes on the battlefield, and they couldn't fight them, and now they couldn't even escape.

Liu Xiang's ship was the first to be intercepted after two masts were broken, but the people on board obviously did not intend to be captured, and still tried to use weapons such as earthen cannons, bows and arrows, and bird guns to resist the approaching "Wei Signal". However, after two grapeshotfire rounds swept across the deck, the surviving people on board surrendered, after all, the impact of watching their comrades being torn to shreds by the flying grapeshots was enough to make people lose the courage to continue fighting.

Then the sailors who boarded the ship found the pale Liu Xiang in the cabin, this guy was not injured, but the fright and despair made the situation a little unstable.

Another leader of the Eighteen Zhi, Li Kuiqi, was obviously a little less lucky, and the "Weifeng", which caught up, fired a blow at its tail with a 48-pounder cannon in the bow, the original goal was to destroy its tail rudder to make it lose its ability to sail, but this cannon directly pierced the stern of the ship, blasted into the cabin, and blasted Li Kuiqi into a mass of flesh and blood. The sailors who then boarded the ship to search for him could only confirm the identity of this unlucky ghost from the waist tag found on the fragments of the corpse.

The two flagships led by the team were captured, and the remaining ships no longer had the heart to fight, and fled for their lives. And Wang Tom was worried about Penghu's business, and he didn't let his troops continue to pursue the fleeing pirate ship.

The following will be re-edited later
