When the Ming army on top of the city began to shout, the soldiers of the Jianlu army who were running around like headless flies, especially the North Korean sailors, immediately knelt down on the beach.
At the beginning, the officers would urge and persuade the kneeling people not to surrender, and they would be safe if they ran with them to build the prisoner camp.
The reactions of North Korean sailors varied.
Some were very obedient, and ran away again when the officer told him; some were disobedient, and got up and ran after the officer told him, and then knelt down and surrendered when the officer ran away; some even did not obey the officer's words. Don't run. There are all kinds of opposites.
It is a bit ironic to say that the Ming army shouted at the top of the city to surrender. Logically speaking, those fake Tatars who were originally Dongjiang Army would be less averse to surrender. However, in reality, most of the people kneeling and surrendering on the beach were North Korean sailors.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the chaos outside the city, frowned, and changed his order.
As a result, the Ming troops on top of the city shouted in unison to convey the governor's new military order.
Capturing an officer who refuses to surrender will not only avoid death, but will also be rewarded with Lun Gong. If those led by Shang Kexi, the rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, and Park Zhenyu, the commander of the Korean navy, were captured, they would be rewarded even more heavily.
Shang Kexi, who was on the flagship of the Jianlu Navy, was already a little confused when he saw the defeated army.
He knew in his heart that Huang Taiji asked him to command such a huge navy, but when the decisive battle was about to begin, he ran away. After returning, he will definitely be questioned. Maybe, even beheading in anger is possible!
But if you don't escape back, where can you go?
When the Ming Dynasty first surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Not only did they take the navy with them, but they also plundered all the Ming troops and Han people on the coastal islands and gave them to the Qing Dynasty. When the Governor of Baoding made a speech before, he never thought that he would be in the current situation, so he just shouted back. If he surrendered to the Ming army, he would definitely not end well.
Seeing him in a daze, Xu Erxian became anxious and shouted to him quickly: "Your Majesty, if you don't run away, the Ming Navy is coming!"
Shang Kexi heard this, came back to his senses, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Where else can I go? I have nowhere to go now! I..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. Later, he held the handle of the knife in his hand and tried to pull it out several times, but gave up several times.
Seeing him like this, Xu Erxian immediately understood that the prince wanted to commit suicide, right?
Thinking like this, he suddenly became anxious. Even if the sky fell, there would have to be a tall man to hold it up, right?
So, Xu Erxian immediately jumped over, took Shang Kexi's hand, and ran to the side of the ship. At the same time, he said: "Your Majesty, you can leave the green mountains without worrying about having firewood! There is no one in the Qing Dynasty who understands naval warfare better than your Majesty. , The emperor will never give up on the prince..."
Shang Ke was happy to hear what he said. In the past, he would have thought it was right, but now, he felt it was harsh. How could he still fight like this if he knew more about naval warfare?
However, he agreed with Xu Erxian's words, "You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood to burn them."
In fact, if Shang Kexi had not been afraid of death and dared to commit suicide, he would not have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the first place. You know, he had a bloody feud with the Manchus at that time. But in the end, in order to survive, he not only went to join his enemy, but even brought a blood-stained meeting gift.
"...Your Majesty, this battle is not your fault." Xu Erxian obviously understood Shang Kexi and knew what he was worried about, so he continued to persuade, "It was only those North Koreans who killed them and fled, so that the whole army collapsed! This The thing is, even if you go to the emperor, the prince will always have something to say."
With a scapegoat, things will take a turn for the better. Shang Kexi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately and said: "Yes, if I had enough time to rectify the North Korean navy, this would definitely not happen. It was all that Park Zhenyu who made this war a complete failure!"
After finding the reason, Shang Kexi suddenly became energetic, shook off Xu Erxian's hand, and quickly began to "retreat."
Just as he was escaping, he suddenly discovered that the North Korean naval commander Park Zhenyu was also escaping. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and immediately shouted: "General Park, don't panic, wait for me!"
Park Zhenyu had also attacked Lu Xiangsheng before, so he would not surrender. As he was running away, he heard Shang Kexi's shouting and had to stop, a little reluctantly.
Shang Kexi winked at Xu Erxian, then ran to stand next to Park Zhenyu. Just when he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, he pointed his finger behind Park Zhenyu, and asked in a voice: "What is that?"
Park Zhenyu thought there was something wrong and quickly turned his head to look. Nothing was found. Anyway, it was a mess, with figures running away everywhere.
Puzzled, he turned back and asked: "What does the prince mean..."
As soon as he said the words, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. At the same time, he saw that Shang Kexi's face was a little ferocious.
Before he had any idea, Shang Kexi pulled out the knife with force and kicked him over.
Seeing that Shang Kexi had taken action, his personal guards, including Xu Erxian, immediately took action against the unsuspecting Park Zhenyu's personal guards.
"Why...why kill...kill me?" Park Zhenyu fell to the sky, bleeding profusely, and he was dying before his eyes. But he was still unwilling to give in, and he held on for a breath and wanted to have an explanation.
Shang Kexi held the bleeding knife, took two steps forward, bent down, came in front of Park Zhenyu, and said with a ferocious smile: "You have your heart set on the Ming Dynasty. You deliberately confuse the people with your lies, exaggerate, influence the morale of the army, and allow your men to collapse." . And you took advantage of the chaos to surrender to the Ming army, but I discovered your plot and killed you on the spot!"
"You...you..." Park Zhenyu was so angry that he said "you" twice in a row, but still couldn't say it out, so he opened his eyes angrily, with a bit of panic, and died!
Shang Ke was overjoyed, with a sneer on his lips, cut off Park Zhenyu's head, and then hurriedly ran for his life.
At sea, Zheng Zhilong also hesitated a little when he heard that his subordinates came to ask for instructions on what to do.
The original plan was to block the Jianlu Navy in the harbor, block it with artillery fire, and then use fireships to burn it. The result was good. The battle hadn't even started yet. All the people from the Jianlu Navy jumped into the sea and ran away. So was it necessary to use fire ships to burn it?
After looking at the situation on the beach, Zheng Zhilong finally made the decision to send people on board to inspect each ship. If you encounter any remaining enemies, kill them if they don't surrender.
Although doing so may cause some casualties. But if so many ships were burned, Zheng Zhilong would feel it would be a pity even if he saw too many ships. In addition, he estimated that both the Governor and the Emperor would want these ships.
Therefore, the military order was passed here, and after the Ming army warships approached the Jianlu warships, they began to send troops to search. Anyway, they have no opponents on the sea.
The Tatars who built the prison camp never reacted.
In their opinion, there should be a decisive battle at sea that they have never seen before. There were as many as two to three hundred warships on both sides, with a total of six hundred ships heading for it. Everyone watched such a large-scale naval battle with excitement.
As a result, no one expected that this naval battle was not even fought, and our own navy, which had more warships, collapsed!
After being stupid for a long time, they came back to their senses. In this regard, they, the landlubbers, could do nothing but curse to relieve their depression.
"You dog slave, if you run away after hearing the news, do you still have the nerve to run back?"
"These people should all deserve to die. The prestige of the Qing Dynasty has been completely thrown away by them!"
"It has been said that the North Koreans are the most incompetent. We can penetrate North Korea in one go. If you think about it, you will know that the North Koreans only do bad things and cannot be used at all!"
"And those Chinese dogs are cowards in the first place. Surrendering to our Qing Dynasty is still a virtue!"
"Actually, I have known for a long time that these Chinese dogs and Koreans cannot be used. They are all just worms that waste food! It's okay now. Just run away after hearing the news. This has never happened to me in the Qing Dynasty. It's embarrassing! "
"..."
The condemnation of the Manchu navy slowly rose to the level of being able to pinch and calculate, and finally became so angry that he wanted to kill these fugitives who had disgraced the Qing Dynasty.
"You actually have the nerve to escape back. If you ask me, let's just rectify the law on the spot!"
"Yes, the navy does not have a battle team, so we are the team to supervise the battle. Are we going to let them escape and continue to waste food?"
"Kill, kill them!"
"..."
Under the fierce public sentiment, the Tatars in the Jianlu camp faced the sailors who fled back from the sea to their camp. Instead of sending troops to respond, they angrily wanted to kill them one by one. And, they did start to do so.
Those who were the first to run to the gate of the camp were the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Before they could shout "Open the door", they were greeted by angry bows and arrows.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Ahhhh..."
Seeing their companions who had been shot to death on the ground or who were still struggling to death, the deserting sailors panicked and hurriedly backed away while shouting, "Master, don't do anything, it's one of our own!" .
However, they were greeted by more arrows shot at them, accompanied by angry shouts.
"Go back and fight with Ming Gou. If you dare to retreat, you will die!"
"There are no cowards like you in the Qing Dynasty. You have disgraced the Qing Dynasty. Go to hell!"
"..."
If it was a land battle, it would still be somewhat effective if Jianlu shot the deserters and let them go back to fight again.
However, this is a naval battle, and everyone has already fled back to the main camp on land. There is still time to go back and fight a naval battle again. No one of these Koreans and fake Tatars went back at all. They just started wandering from a safe distance within a stone's throw. I don't know what to do?
Later, when they heard the shouts of the Ming army at the top of Lushun City, some people who didn't want to surrender at first also thought about surrendering to the Ming army. Otherwise, he might be shot to death by Jianlu!
The Tatars in the Jianlu camp were even more furious when they saw that the sailors not only did not return to the ship, but instead knelt outside Lushun City and wanted to surrender to the Ming army. Immediately, the gate of the camp opened wide, and groups of captives came out.
Seeing them approaching with great momentum, this time, the sailors who were standing there a little at a loss and didn't want to surrender to the Ming army, or the sailors who were kneeling and ready to surrender to the Ming army, all jumped up and dispersed in a rush. , running around.
As a result, outside Lushun City, it became a mess.
On the sea, there were still Manchu and Qing sailors jumping into the sea and swimming to the shore. Countless people rushed onto the beach and ran around.
Among them, some knelt down directly on the beach, and some were running. When they saw Jianlu chasing their accomplices in front of them, they were dumbfounded. After being stunned for a moment, some turned around and ran towards the beach again. Some ran into the mountains and forests.
Countless Manchu and Qing sailors are performing a headless collision, how on earth are they colliding!
At this time, to be honest, even the battle-hardened Lu Xiangsheng was a little dumbfounded on the top of the city. In this life, I have never encountered such a war. This... this seems to be more childish than playing house for children, right?
There is so much chaos outside the city now. Jianlu are chasing their own sailors everywhere. Whether they want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty or not, they all kill everyone on sight. In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng had no intention of sending troops to rescue them. There was too much chaos outside the city, and he couldn't send troops to rescue them.
However, after Jianlu was killed for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng came to his senses and asked the Ming army on top of the city to shout that the soldiers who surrendered to the Qing should return to the sea and surrender to the Ming Navy. Avoid Jianlu's pursuit.
As a result, the headless flies outside the city seemed to have a direction, and they all ran towards the seaside, faster than rabbits. As for weapons and the like, they were all too heavy and were thrown all over the floor.
Shang Kexi was relieved when he just escaped to the shore. After seeing this situation, he was also dumbfounded. He believed that if he appeared in front of Jianlu, he would be chopped into pieces by the angry Jianlu before he could even give an explanation. However, he could not escape back to the sea and surrender to the Ming army.
With no other choice, he had no choice but to take his bodyguard and head into the forest.
This chaotic state came to an end until Daishan's messenger issued an order from the mountain, prohibiting the massacre of the returning soldiers, and opening a way to allow the navy soldiers to escape.
Fortunately, he is the leader of Daishan, and his age and experience are there.
He was defeated by such a useless naval battle without even fighting. Of course, he was very angry and wanted to kill these deserters. But he is sensible after all. If all these sailors were killed, and everyone who knew about naval battles would die, then there would really be nothing to explain to Huang Taiji when he went back.
Even if Huang Taiji was angry and wanted to put all these deserters to death, he would have to take them back.
It was this idea that made Jianlu, who was chasing the deserters, finally stop. However, those deserters who least wanted to surrender to the Ming army were actually almost dead. The faster they fled, the closer they were to the Jianlu camp. Jianlu killed these deserters without any mercy. Pursuit without resistance is also the way to cause the greatest casualties.
The second naval battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or in other words, the first large-scale naval battle, ended so dramatically before it even began!
