Flames and thick smoke shot up into the air and set the sails on fire.

The wind helps the fire, and the fire takes advantage of the wind's power.

A large hole was soon burned in the sail, and it expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The situation is critical.

This ship was the lead ship in Shang Kexi's fleet, and the other warships followed in a column behind it.

Because the Ming army hooked the side of the ship with iron hooks, it was forced to become one with the Ming army's stern ship.

The Jiannu warships were in the north and the Ming army warships were in the south, and the two warships blocked the original waterway.

The other warships could only bypass them from both sides.

The Jiannu warships that were circling from the north were afraid of hurting their friendly forces, so they could only watch them fighting on the ship.

The Jiannu warships that circled from the south attacked the Ming warships with cannons, blowtorches and fire bricks.

The Ming army warships soon caught fire.

The Ming army, which was fighting, was unaware of this and launched a final charge towards the Eight Banners soldiers on the enemy ships.

"kill!"

boom!

There was the sound of artillery fire from the sea in the east.

As more and more Jiannu warships bypassed the area, the sound of artillery fire on the sea became more and more frequent.

The huge shells flew rapidly through the air.

Some deviated from their targets and fell into the sea, splashing huge waves.

Some of them smashed the cabins, causing fatal damage to the enemy warships.

Some shells pierced through human bodies, creating a bloody mist.

The two fleets fought on the sea.

Use artillery at long distances.

Use guns, bows and arrows, and squirt guns at medium distances.

Close range hand-to-hand combat!

Shang Kexi's fleet had twenty-four warships (one of which had been burned by the Ming army before), while Zheng Chenggong had only fifteen warships.

Faced with enemies that were nearly twice his number, Zheng Chenggong soon became overwhelmed.

While directing the battle, he looked toward the sea in the southeast direction.

Zheng Hongkui is right there!

"Why hasn't my second uncle come to support us yet?" Zheng Chenggong was anxious and annoyed.

General Hong Xu stood by and explained: "Don't worry, sir. The situation at sea is complicated. We can't just come to support you whenever we want."

Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to fight to the death.

The merchant ships watching the battle from a distance began to tremble.

If Zheng Chenggong was defeated, they would become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered at will.

run?

Merchant ships are heavy in carrying capacity and cannot outrun warships.

The battle lasted for a long time. Just when Shang Kexi was planning to take advantage of the advantage to launch a general attack, ten warships flying the flag of Marshal Zheng sailed over from the sea in the south.

"It's the Ming army's reinforcements!" shouted the soldier in charge of reconnaissance.

Shang Kexi was stunned and began to hesitate whether to fight or retreat.

The one who supported Zheng Chenggong was Zheng Hongkui.

As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, he sent out ten warships to provide support.

Unfortunately, the ten warships encountered ocean currents.

After finally getting out of the ocean current, they immediately rushed to the battlefield at the fastest speed to support Zheng Chenggong.

Looking at the fierce battle on the sea and the aggressive reinforcements of the Ming army, Shang Kexi began to consider retreating.
