In the twenty years since the Battle of Hunhe River, the Eight Banners soldiers fought from outside the pass to inside the pass. They won many battles and were invincible. In panic, the Ming court could only dispatch troops and generals, but they were exhausted and were annihilated by the Qing Dynasty. No less than 100,000 troops.
However, at sea, the combat power of both sides underwent a fundamental reversal. The development of the battle situation was also unbearable for the Qing army, especially the extremely arrogant Eight Banners soldiers. In a naval battle dominated by long-range artillery battles, they were completely helpless. A place of use.
Under the fierce bombardment of the Zheng Army fleet, the warships of the left wing navy of the Qing army either caught fire and were about to sink to the bottom of the sea, or the sails and masts of the ships were damaged and became living targets floating on the sea.
Even though the Eight Banners Soldiers have great abilities, they have no room to display them. The warships they ride on have been reduced to "isolated islands" that cannot support each other. The fate of the Eight Banners Soldiers is obvious.
There were nearly ten Eight Banners soldiers on the small boat and twenty or thirty-eight Banners soldiers on the big boat. The combined strength was not large, but they did not know how to fire cannons, let alone row boats.
Each and every one of them could only watch helplessly as many warships of the left wing navy of the Qing Dynasty were damaged or even sunk one by one by Zheng Jun's fleet. At the last moment, they cursed at the enemy ships and fired a few arrows in anger.
"boom……"
Then there were deafening loud noises in the sky, and the shells fired by Zheng Jun's heavy artillery were blasted into pieces of meat that could not be put together on the spot.
In the battle of Guanglu Island, the winner had already been decided at the beginning of the war. There was no suspense at all. The hope of victory of Melezhangjing Mafuta was an unattainable fantasy.
Because the strength gap between the two sides was so great, even if the Qing Dynasty's left and right wings deployed in full force and attacked from the left and right, they could not change the final victory of Zheng Zhibao's fleet. At most, they could survive at sea for a while, that's all.
The arrows fired at Zheng Jun's warships represented the despair of the Eight Banners soldiers. They had nowhere to escape on the sea, let alone Gou Manzi's warships. They could not even achieve a single victory and were hailed. Most of them were killed alive by bombardment.
Zheng Jun's ships resolutely carried out Zheng Zhibao's orders. They were determined not to engage in close combat with the enemy ship before severely damaging it. Only after the enemy ship's hull was completely damaged or even ignited a raging fire, they would slowly approach and board the ship to quickly obtain the loot.
After dividing the troops yesterday evening, the Chinese army led by Mafuta has been completely severely damaged by the Zheng army after nearly an hour of fierce fighting and is heading towards total annihilation.
Two of the twelve warships were sunk and six were severely damaged. Four warships, including Mafuta's flagship, were also scarred and dragged their broken bodies to the beach.
During the battle, Zheng Jun accidentally damaged a merchant ship. After the other merchant ships were overtaken by Zheng Jun's warships, they hurriedly lowered their sails and immediately raised the white flag to express surrender.
They couldn't run away anymore, and they didn't want to fight stubbornly. The result would be self-destruction.
The Eight Banners soldiers were not afraid of death, but the pickle sailors on the merchant ships and the gunmen who escorted the ships did not want to be buried with them.
Surrendering if you can't defeat them seems reasonable to the Kimchi officers and soldiers.
The Ming Dynasty was originally their suzerain state, and it was the Qing Dynasty, uh... the dog Tatars who forced them to surrender.
Now that he has switched back, he is determined to be a just act of abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side!
After dealing with the Ming army and returning to the homeland, he can continue to serve the Qing Dynasty.
After being captured by the Ming army again at sea, he can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side again, and the cycle continues...
"Quick~! Get off the boat and land quickly!"
Mafuta stepped onto the beach. He had never been so excited before. He was almost thrown into the sea to feed the fish by Zheng Jun.
Now we finally have a chance to breathe. As long as we get ashore, we can take advantage of the Eight Banners soldiers.
Although the total number of Eight Banners soldiers carried by the four ships was only eighty, Ma Futa believed that the Qing warriors under his command could fight one against ten, and together with some minions, they would be enough to resist the attack of Zheng Zhilong's damn pirates.
At Melezhangkin's command line, all the pale-faced Eight Banners soldiers sitting in the boat were relieved. After landing ashore, they could kill the invading barbarians after taking a moment to calm down.
They endured the previous naval battle very hard. Once they got to the shore, it was the world of the Eight Banners soldiers. As long as the barbarians dared to land ashore, they would never come back!
The slaves staggered into the shoal one by one and landed on Guanglu Island. Zheng Jun's artillery fire was blind. In order to save their lives, they had no choice but to follow their masters.
Yu Min on the beach heard the rumble of the cannon and disappeared long ago. No one was seen on the beach, only a few fishing boats were parked.
Including Melezhangjing Mafuta, every Qing officer and soldier felt a sense of luck in escaping to heaven. They had caught up with the narrow escape mission, but luckily they did not die.
"boom……"
However, this thought and good mood disappeared in an instant as the hail of bullets fell. They forgot that Zheng Jun could rely on his absolute advantage in range to cover the beach with artillery fire.
As long as Zheng Zhibao is willing, Zheng Jun's artillery shells can be extended to a position two miles away from the coastline, making the Qing army feel desperate with no way to go to sea and no way to land.
Many ships can fire rapidly at the beach. A dozen ships, a total of forty or fifty guns, fired salvos. The scene was spectacular, with craters everywhere, as if they were sweeping across the beach.
Since there are no people waiting on the beach, it is all dog Tatars, so the target is extremely obvious. It is easy for Zheng Jun's gunners to aim, and the shells densely cover the landing area.
More than half of the more than 200 Qing officers and soldiers who came ashore were killed or injured in the blink of an eye. As soon as they came ashore, their legs were weak. Before they had the strength to escape from the range of the Folan machine, they were blown to the ground by dense rain of shells. .
"This... Oops~! We are waiting for the death of God~!"
Mafuta saw the Eight Banners soldiers having their limbs knocked off and even cut in half by bullets right in front of him. Their corpses fell bloody on the beach. Some people's intestines were bleeding all over the ground but they were still alive. They were whimpering and staring. Eyes staring at him.
This situation made Ma Futa despair. He never expected that Zheng Zhilong's men would not leave him any way to survive, and would bombard and kill all his troops when they came ashore. He really wanted to kill all the left wing navy of the Qing Dynasty!
"I am incompetent and unworthy of the emperor's favor!"
Feeling sorry for him, Mafuta drew his sword and wanted to kill himself to apologize. Fortunately, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding him. He took the sword away and fled inland with Mele Zhangjing.
For Mafuta, he has lost nothing. Even if half of the warships at Huanggu Island Castle Base can come to rescue, how can they defeat Zheng Zhilong's fleet?
Even if it comes, it will end up being sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and it is impossible to defeat others.
What's more, all the skilled soldiers of the navy on the left wing are here, and those who stay in the harbor are mostly defenders, not capable of sailing and naval warfare.
After this battle, the left wing navy was dead in name only, and it would take at least several years to recover.
The naval force is no better than the land force. Shipbuilding is time-consuming, training is time-consuming, and the running-in of men and ships is even more time-consuming. The prerequisite is sufficient money and food.
After losing so many chips at once, even if he was lucky enough to return to Huanggu Island Castle, Ma Futa really didn't know how to explain to the emperor.
But it's completely superfluous for him to think so. Whether he can survive until then is anyone's guess.
After they fled a hundred steps away, Zheng's army began to land in large numbers.
Followed by hundreds of pickleball gunmen, they all carried out counterattacks against the dog Tatars according to the orders of Navy Commander Lin Qingye.
Taking into account the existing trade relations between the two parties and the possible continued cooperation in the future.
Zheng Zhibao thought about it for a while and then agreed to Lin Qingye's request for surrender.
He also promised him that as long as all the dog Tatars who came ashore were captured and killed, they could be released immediately back to their homeland.
Of course, all merchant ships have to stay, and they can only return in warships. If they don't agree, everyone and the ship will have to stay.
Lin Qingye had no choice but to agree. No matter at sea or on land, the loser had no room for bargaining.
"Fifth Master! Keep this posture and don't move!"
While artillery fire was still raging at sea, Zheng Zhibao, under the command of the cameraman sent by the Crown Prince, took photos with great interest on his flagship, with the burning Qing warships not far away as the background...
Zheng Zhibao held a sword in his hand and pointed into the distance. Looking in the direction of the tip of the sword was the "Sea Torch". Zheng Zhibao felt that this proposal was very good and could highlight his heroic spirit, so he agreed.
After learning that the prince had successfully developed a photography technique imitated from the fairy world, Zheng Zhibao did not forget to bring a cameraman with him when he went to sea, and took advantage of this opportunity to film the naval battle.
After sending the photos to the capital, with real evidence, the credit he has made this time is a certainty, and no one can argue with it.
In addition to Zheng Zhibao, the generals under his command also had the honor to take photos with the Fifth Master. The background board was naturally a grand scene of a naval battle. After landing, they could continue to pose for pictures.
In addition to the characters, the cameraman also captured the magnificent scenes of the naval battle, especially the destroyed Qing warships. Except for the fast and silent ones, almost none of them were included without landing.
Because we have the evidence of on-site shooting, it is easy to report the results of the battle after we return. As long as the prince is satisfied, the reward will naturally be disbursed soon.
Zheng Zhibao asked the cameraman to wash some of the largest sizes so that he could hang them in various places in his house after he returned, so that they would be a pleasure to watch every day.
"The Picture of the Five Lords Destroying the Tartars"!
Zheng Zhibao even had a name for the photo. Although he was not very knowledgeable, he summarized it appropriately. Zheng Zhibao thought it was very suitable.
In the naval battle of Guanglu Island, Zheng Zhibao led his troops to severely inflict heavy losses on the Tatar left wing navy, annihilated two Niulu Eight Banners soldiers, and sank, damaged, and captured dozens of ships, large and small. The results of the battle were extremely brilliant.
All that's left is to keep the Tatar general alive, so that his merits can be considered complete. Zheng Zhibao couldn't bear to let go of the most expensive thing like this...
"Don't be alarmed, everyone. This general is Zheng Zhibao, the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of this harassment is to capture the Tatar general who landed ashore. Whoever has clues will be rewarded heavily by this general! As long as this general is captured, all the troops will be killed. Retreat, during this period, Qiu will commit no crime. If anyone intends to harbor dog Tatars, he will be executed!"
After Zheng Zhibao landed ashore, he quickly sent people to gather the nearby people and publicly announced important military matters. This was also the prince's suggestion, and Zheng Zhibao believed that with the help of the locals, the Tatars should be captured soon. general.
After Shen Zhixiang led his troops to defect to Huangtaiji, the people on Guanglu Island became the Shunmin of the Qing Dynasty. Now every man, young and old, has his pigtails.
When I heard the news that the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers suddenly arrived on the island, I was originally pressed by my family, for fear of being affected, but I couldn't resist the "invitation" of the wolf-like officers and soldiers, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to wait for orders.
Most of them were unwilling to get involved in the battle between the two armies. They only hoped that the matter would be settled as soon as possible, and then the officers and soldiers would withdraw from Guanglu Island, and they could live in peace.
Zheng Zhibao has no interest in Guanglu Island and has no intention of occupying it. Even if he wants to occupy it, it will only happen after the spring of next year. When the Japanese army evacuates the Liaodong Peninsula, his fleet can return to his hometown in Fujian for repairs.
But before that, all the Dog Tatar generals who landed must be captured. We cannot let the fleet work hard and shoot thousands of bullets, only to have the Dog Tatar generals run away in the end.
If these dull-looking Dao Min takes in the suspect, it will be a crime of harboring, and he will either be executed on the spot, or he will be escorted to the capital for trial, and the end will not be much better.
Facing the heavily armed officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Dao Mins all chose to lower their heads and remain silent, keeping silent for fear of saying the wrong thing, angering the officer, and putting their lives at risk.
There are three Niulu Qing soldiers stationed on the island. Although they are all slaves, they are also Shen Zhixiang's subordinates and serve the Qing Dynasty. They are permanently stationed on the island. They are usually arrogant and domineering. They often bully them and will not offend any common people. rise.
Seeing Dao Mindu's attitude, Zheng Zhibao was not angry. Before that, he had ordered his warships to block the coastline, so that no ships on the island could enter or exit.
Unless they take advantage of the cover of night, the dog Tatars who landed on the beach will not be able to escape at all. The most likely way is to join the defenders and continue to resist.
But this was just throwing an egg against a rock. When he really annoyed himself, he mobilized ships and brought in thousands of Japanese troops, who were able to kill all the dog Tatars on the island without leaving a single piece of armor behind!
The Japanese army was not even afraid of the Eight Banners soldiers. In one battle, they defeated Shuo Tuo and fled. They gathered and annihilated 3,000 Qing troops, but they still couldn't deal with a mere 1,800 slave soldiers? ? ?
Now that the dog Tatars of the left wing navy have landed on Guanglu Island, don't even think about leaving.
You can leave if you want, but you have to leave your head behind!
Mafuta didn't even have time to breathe. He ran very fast under the protection of several soldiers, fearing that he would be captured alive by the barbarian if he took one step slower.
After going two miles inland and meeting up with a Niu Lu slave soldier stationed on the island, I felt that I had turned the corner. I collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, breathing heavily.
"Why don't you rush to the shore to help?"
After regaining his composure, Ma Futa asked Niu Luzhangjing on the opposite side. He was so angry that he refused to save him. This dog slave really deserves to be killed.
"I'm reporting to my master, I also want to rush to help, but seeing the enemy's fierce firepower, it's hard for my subordinates to match, so I can only wait here for my master."
Niu Luzhangjing and Xu Maocai responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, thinking: You are already like this. You must have been completely defeated by the Ming army. You still have the nerve to teach me a lesson?
If I hadn't treated you as a congratulatory gift because the situation was still unclear, and turned from the secret to the light, how dare you treat me like this?
He had just taken a rough look at the battle situation at the beach through a telescope. Whichever side reached the shore first should be the loser.
Xu Maocai didn't want to lose his men and horses in vain, so instead of rushing to rescue his Qing colleagues who came ashore, he also led his troops to evacuate to a place two miles away from the shore, which was considered safe.
"...how many troops do you have?"
In order to counterattack the dog barbarian, Ma Futa could not continue to blame this bastard for the time being. He would wait until the barbarian troops who landed on the island were repelled before dealing with him.
"Reporting to my master, I have 42 cavalrymen and 2195 infantrymen under my command!"
A Niu Lu has a fixed number of three hundred people, and the actual difference is the part that Xu Maocai takes free money. However, this is a business rule and it is harmless. Everyone in the same profession does this, and no one can tell anyone else.
In fact, the Niu Lu of each department of the Eight Banners is not fully compiled, but the generals of the Eight Banners are not just for free pay, but except for major battles with Man Ming, they do not need all Niu Lu to be fully compiled.
If necessary, a large number of guards can be temporarily deployed to supplement the front line.
