When Annan urgently deployed to deal with it, the huge fleet of the Ming army had already appeared on the ocean a hundred miles east of Haiyang Shuizhai. [Love ↑ go △ small ↓ say △ network WwW.AiQu]

The navy commanded by Wu Yuan collected almost all the warships of the Taiping Army that could be used in naval battles. There were 86 lucky ships of more than 600 materials, and 126 warships of more than 400 materials. Fighting ships, sea falcons, cruise ships, There are 135 sentinel ships and more than 50 large-scale ships specially used to transport troops. There are only 8,400 officers and soldiers in the navy, and more than 80 generals and schools.

On this day, there was no wind at sea, blue waves rippling, blue sky and white clouds, and excellent sight.

The three Annan Army's express ships were cruising along the sea horizon. The sea area here is only more than 30 miles away from the water village. If there is any warning, the express ships can rush back to report the news as quickly as possible. Ever since he was beaten twice by the Ming army's navy for "bullying the small", Annan navy all had fears for the Ming army. Talking about the change in Ming's color, even the commander, Lord Li Zhu, repeatedly told the following not to do so. Departures.

Warships can't go out to sea, but sentry ships must go out to sea, otherwise the Ming army will not know the Annan people when they touch the water village, then it's worth it.

The Annan sailors on the three express ships cruised for a long time and did not find any ships at sea. Just when the Annan sailors on the ship were fortunate enough to be able to return to the port immediately, when a group of people came to "fear and fear", a shrill cry suddenly sounded. .

"The Ming army's ship is here!"

This shrill cry made all the Annan soldiers on the three ships nervous, and they went to the deck to watch. Soon, a spectacular scene appeared in their sight-hundreds of masts appeared densely on the sea level in the distance.

After a brief absence, Annan, who led the team, came to his senses, shouting sharply, and quickly turned around to report the news.

On the ninth day of June in the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ziqiang, the governor of the Taiping Army Expeditionary Force, led the naval commander Wu Yuan, and the deputy governors also served as the eleventh town general Lu Guangzu, and the twelfth town general Niu Gensheng led 325 large and small warships. , More than 25,000 officers and soldiers appeared on the sea east of Haiyang Water Village, the port of the Annan Navy.

..........

The Annan people's express ship sent back the warning of the Ming army's massive attack. Li Zhu was shocked and immediately ordered the navy to stand by the water near the water village. According to Li Zhu's deployment, 28 ships led by the commander Ruan Guowei were on the left wing, 23 ships led by the commander Zheng Hai were on the right wing, and the remaining 34 ships were led by Li Zhu himself, relying on the fortresses on both sides of Haiyang Water Village to defend the Ming Dynasty. Navy Division.

The Ming army navy rushed directly to Haiyang Water Village, but Li Zhu could not help this battle. However, after the battle order was issued, Li Zhu sent a password to Ruan Guowei and Zheng Hai, to the effect that if the Ming army could not be resisted, both the second general and him would have to break through, and the main naval forces could not be overwhelmed. This order made Ruan and Zheng two generals worried, because since the Ming army came straight to the water village, it was obvious that they wanted to eat the main force of the Annan Navy in one bite, so how could they make them break out of the siege.

Ruan Guowei's angry opponent general said: "The commander is old and confused. The Ming people are all bullied to the door. I Annan is not as strong as the Ming people. At this moment, only blood is the most important thing. If you have the idea of ​​breaking through, isn't this self-defeating!"

Because they were afraid that the generals below would not obey the orders and go to sea without authorization, Li Zhu ordered Li Zhu to seal off the sea entrance of Haiyang Water Village two days ago. It can prevent the Ming army from going deep into the water village.

Amid the thundering drums, the Annan soldiers who were guarding the two forts in Dongyang, Haiyang Water Village also rushed to the fort, and the people of Annan near the naval camp were also organized by the government to assist the officers and soldiers in the name of "volunteering". home country.

.........

The Ming army fleet arrived outside Haiyang Water Village without any resistance or harassment. Seeing that the Annan Army was ready, Wu Yuan immediately ordered Zheng Chengkui to lead more than 100 warships towards Haiyang Water Village. . Seeing that the Ming army sent ships to attack, Li Zhu immediately waved his flag and trumpeted. Ruan Guoxiong and Zheng Haibu immediately attacked the Ming army navy from left and right directions. Artillery fire roared on the shore, and the sea also roared. It is not as powerful as the Ming army's warships. The dozens of Ming Junfu ships of more than 600 materials that charged in front were actually covered with large and small artillery on both sides of the hull. Under a salvo, one of the Ruan Guowei warships was sunk on the spot.

Li Zhu did not expect that the artillery fire of the Ming army's navy would be so violent that he could not fight in melee or fight, but put his hope in several iron locks under the sea.

Finding that there was an iron lock blocking the entrance to the sea, Zheng Chengkui immediately sent more than 100 water ghost warriors in a small boat with a large amount of kerosene to approach the iron lock. The iron locks used by the Annan people were made urgently, not steel.

The sea-blocking iron locks failed to stop the Ming army. In addition, the Ming army's warships were tall and the artillery fire was fierce. The Annan Navy's warships were unable to resist in terms of quantity and quality, and the war soon became one-sided. During the melee, Li Zhu fainted from the cannon, and his navy ships hurriedly fled to the water village. As Li Zhushuai's flag disappeared along with the mast, Zheng Haibu on the right wing lost command and became a mess. They were surrounded by Ming army warships that rushed up. They were bombarded first, then shot, and finally jumped to join the fight. In just one hour, more than 1,000 soldiers of Zheng Hai's 20 warships were wiped out by the Ming army, and Zheng Hai himself was cut open by the Ming army who jumped up to help him.

Ruan Guowei saw that the situation was not good, and ordered the dead to approach the Ming army ships in small boats full of kerosene and gunpowder. The Ming army was caught off guard, and six ships were destroyed by fire. Seeing that the Annan people were stubbornly resisting, Wu Yuan immediately ordered the second batch of warships to fight, and ordered the rest of the warships to cover the army's eleventh town and land on the tidal flat east of Haiyang Shuizhai.

........

Haiyang Water Village, the fire is soaring into the sky, the smoke is everywhere, and the sound of explosions at sea is continuous. Under the absolute superiority of the Ming army several times over its own, the Annan Navy was unable to fight back. Although the forts on both sides of the mountain are still firing continuously, they are far apart, and they are all solid bullets, where is there any accurate head.

During the battle, the Ming army navy suddenly sacrificed "fire dragon out of water" and burned the Annan navy's warships one after another. This "fire dragon coming out of water" was called a rocket by the Ming army. Five feet of bamboo was used to remove the knots, and an iron knife was used to scrape it thin, and a wooden dragon head and dragon tail were installed on the front and back. The mouth of the faucet is upward, and several magic rockets are installed in the belly of the dragon, and the drug lines of the rockets are always connected together, which are led out from a hole in the lower part of the faucet. There are two large rocket launchers under the dragon's body and inclined at the front and rear, and their medicine lines are always connected together, and the main medicine line of the magic fire creeping in the dragon's belly is connected to the bottom of the two rockets in front. In this way, during the water battle, the fire dragon arrows can be fired three or four feet away from the water, that is, it can fly two or three miles away from the water surface, just like the fire dragon coming out of the river, and it is specially used to burn the enemy ships.

At the time of Wanli’s peace against Japan, after all the Japanese navy entered the Luliang Sea, the Ming Dynasty general Deng Zilong led the Yu family’s army to cut off the Japanese navy’s back road, and the North Korean general Yi Sun-sin led the Korean navy to attack the flank of the Japanese fleet. With full support, the Japanese commander, Yoshihiro Shimazu, was reluctant to fight and drove away from Lulianghai at full speed, intending to cross Cat Island, but he did not know that the Ming army had laid mines on Cat Island, so he had to return to Lulianghai to fight to the death. In this battle, the Ming army navy used a large number of rockets "fire dragons out of the water". After fierce battles, the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces destroyed more than 400 Japanese warships, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were killed. The Japanese commander-in-chief Shimazu Yoshihiro fled, and the Japanese elite Fifth Army was annihilated.

Now, the "Fire Dragon Out of Water", which had severely damaged the Japanese fleet, reappeared in the waters of Haiyang Shuizhai, and rockets shot at the ships of the Annan Navy like a fire dragon, causing the Annan Navy to collapse. Some young and strong generals of the Annan Navy, who were not afraid of death, saw that the battle had been defeated, and simply ordered the warships to speed up and rush towards the Ming army ships, wanting to perish with the Ming army. But they found in despair that the Ming army did not give them a chance to approach. How could the Ming army, who had suffered the loss of the Annan people's fire attack before, be careless again, and found that there was an Annan warship coming, immediately artillery fire, and the fire dragon shot fiercely. The speed of the warship threw off the "suicide" attacking Annan warship, and then slammed the opponent again with intensive artillery fire until the opponent was driven to the bottom of the sea.

At sea, many Annan soldiers fell into the water, howling and crying. Some of them swam desperately to the shore~www.NovelMTL.com~ Some grabbed wooden boards and asked for help from the Ming army at sea. As a result, the Ming army's warships After leaning up, the Ming army above didn't put a rope to pull them up at all, but shot them with fire guns from above. After destroying or burning Annan's ships, some Ming warships turned to gallop back and forth at sea. Where there were many Annan soldiers falling into the water, they rushed where they went, and did not save people at all.

During the fierce battle at sea, the eleventh town of the Taiping Army has successfully landed on the beach under the command of the deputy governor of the expeditionary force and town general Lu Guangzu. The Annan army did not expect that the Ming army navy would bring so many infantry here, and it was the first time that they saw that the navy could transport troops to land on the beach, so the defenders were very surprised. Turn the muzzle.

At this moment, both Zhao Ziqiang, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army, and Wu Yuan, the naval commander, have all turned their attention from the direction of Haiyang Water Village in Haikou to the direction of Dongshan, where the eleven towns landed. They have made the capture of Dongshan Fort, guarded by Annan's army, the focus of their current offensive.

The Dongshan Fort is guarded by an elite army of Annan's army, with a number of about 2,000 people. There are also volunteers of the same number, all of whom are residents and fishermen who live nearby. There are more than 30 cannons on the Dongshan Fort, and the defender is Zheng Hua, the clan of the Zheng clan. In addition, the Annan military and civilians were defending their homeland and defending the country, so the fighting was particularly fierce. (To be continued.)
