The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Faced with the Qing navy's attempt to flee without a fight, Jia Wenxuan, who led the team, did not rush to pursue it.

This place is so far away from Dagukou. Where can these people escape to?

And the escape of the Qing army might make Dagukou prepared?

snort!

It wasn't that Jia Wenxuan looked down on the Qing army, but the combat effectiveness of the so-called Eight Banners Imperial Guard Navy was not even as good as the Penghu Navy that was initially destroyed when they counterattacked the Qing Dynasty.

The spies of Jinyiwei have long figured out what kind of group this navy is composed of.

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are nothing but wine and rice bags.It is an insult to the navy that these people can also be navy!

"Sir, what to do with the sailors abandoned by the Qing army?" someone asked at this time.

"What sailors? Aren't they a group of pirates who robbed the people? Let the machine gunners deal with them!"

"Yes, sir!"

For these "pirates" who rob civilians, Jia Wenxuan decided to follow the unified approach of various countries in treating pirates in the current period and impose the death penalty.

However, because of the emergency of the war, he did not follow the example of those European hypocrites and conduct a dispensable trial.

Anyway, hanging is death, shooting is death, and firing is death, so why should we care about the form?

At this time, the "pirates" on several small broken ships had no idea that they had been sentenced to death by gunfire by Jiawen.When they looked at the approaching Ming fleet and were pondering their surrender posture, the rhythmic sound of cannons rang out...

As the Qing fleet fled back to the Dagukou station and the news of the Ming army's attack came back, the entire station was in a state of panic.

Only then did the Qing troops stationed at the station realize that the sound of cannons they heard earlier was not the navy's "training" but the arrival of the Ming army!

And when they heard that the Ming army was attacking and the warships covered the entire sea, everyone's calves were shaking like chaff.

run!

Such an idea popped into the heads of all the Eight Banners men almost at the same time.

It's a pity that their idea was suppressed by the Navy Admiral and Navy Superintendent at the same time before they had time to put it into action.

run?How can you run!How dare you run!

This is not the Jiangnan area. The emperor ran away as long as the mountains were high, and the superiors might not be able to trace him down.

This is Tianjin Wei!Behind them is the capital. If they escape without a fight, it will not be easy for the court to catch them afterward.

Moreover, the entire navy is a bannermen, and most of the families are in the capital. If they run away, the whole family will not be able to escape if the court accuses them!

Of course, there is also a saying that the law does not punish everyone, but the Navy Admiral, Superintendent and a group of senior generals will never escape.

The senior officials did not want to burden the bulk of the soldiers below, so the order from the Navy Admiral's Office soon came down, ordering all soldiers to return to combat positions immediately, all warships to set sail, but not to take the initiative to attack and use coastal defense batteries to jointly block the enemy. .

The Qing generals knew the gap between themselves and the Ming navy, so they wanted to use coastal defense batteries to resist the enemy.

Compared with the small cannons on their shabby warships, the various types of [-]-jin cannons installed on the Dagukou fort, and even a few [-]-jin cannons, were much stronger in terms of range and power.

Using this to deal with Ming warships should still be safe.

The soldiers of the Qing army, whose legs and feet were weak, were extremely reluctant to be chased back to their respective positions by the officers. But before they were ready, the sails covering the sky and the sun on the sea came into view.

……

The battle at Dagukou was very different from what the Qing generals expected.

It was envisioned that the thousand-pound cannons on their coastal defense forts would attack Ming warships from a very long distance, while our own warships would hide within the range of the coastal defense forts and deal with the Ming navy.

However, the reality is that before the Ming warships entered the range of their own shore defense artillery, the Ming army's overwhelming artillery shells had already hit them first.

Flames and smoke rose into the sky, and amidst the earth-shaking explosions, countless Qing soldiers were carried up into the sky by the air waves. When they landed, they were already in pieces.

The Qing army was shocked. Everyone knew that the Ming army's artillery had a far range, but no one expected it to be so far away!Even the range of the eight-thousand-jin cannon placed high up is still lower than that of the Ming army's artillery!

And several of the coastal defense cannons they had high hopes for have been overturned by gunfire. Even if the remaining ones can be used, they have insufficient range and are of no use?

In previous battles of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, in order to improve the accuracy of bombardment and save the service life of the gun barrel, the combat distance was shortened to a few hundred meters most of the time.

But today was different. Jinyiwei had already figured out the artillery configuration of each fort in Dagukou, and knew that the Qing Dynasty had spent a lot of money to cast some of the heavy artillery in order to garrison this important place.

In order to prevent unnecessary losses, long-range artillery fire coverage was adopted this time.

Compared with the life of the barrel, Zhu Heyi valued human lives, or to be more precise, his own lives more.

As intensive howling sounds sounded overhead, artillery shells of various calibers tore through the air and rained down.

Under the violent shock wave, the wooden buildings were easily torn into pieces like cardboard. The fleeing Qing troops were thrown around like rag dolls. Even the heavy cannons on the fort were shattered and the gun frames were tilted aside.

Within a few breaths, the entire Qing navy station in Dagukou had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

When the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners Guards Navy at sea saw such a scene behind them, their faces turned green.

What about the promised reliance?Why did you go ahead by yourself?

At this moment, the men of the Eight Banners were sending their greetings to the Navy Admiral, Navy Supervisor, and the whole family of the officers and women who had voted for them to sail to sea.

Originally, if I ran away early, I might still be able to escape, but now...

The Eight Banners Guards Navy did not have much time to think about people. When some warships of the Ming Royal Navy continued to bombard the Qing army station in Dagukou, another part of the warships had already aimed their guns at them.

"boom!"

A shell exploded next to a small Qing bird ship. The shell did not hit directly, but the near miss only hit the side of the ship and entered the water. The huge water pressure generated by the explosion directly broke through the waterline of the hull.

The small bird boat is not large in nature. Within one minute of water pouring into the breach, the total weight of the boat has exceeded the displacement, and the hull begins to sink rapidly.

Although this small bird ship was the first to be sunk, it was not alone for long. When more and more shells hit the Qing navy, sinking ships could be seen everywhere.

The old soldiers of the Eight Banners completely collapsed. They were just a bunch of people waiting to die. They had never seen such a battle.

The shattered hull of the ship and the scattered human bodies were so tragic that these sailors, who were not even half-assed, were frightened out of their wits.

In the panic, the soldiers and officers on each ship were already in a mess. The counterattack range was not enough, and they did not have the courage to rush forward. However, their attempts to turn caused a large number of ships to collide with each other.

Brother Nanxi probably never imagined that the great water master he had high hopes for would be at such a level.
