Subordinates of Prince Zhishun of the Bordered Blue Banner?
It's Jiannu!
The Ming soldiers on the patrol boat were shocked and felt a chill on their backs! They thought they were friendly troops, but they turned out to be mortal enemies.
The Ming army leader who was asking the question took a deep breath and yelled at the top of his voice: "Fire! Fire the fucking cannon!"
The Ming army on the patrol boat had already made preparations. At the command of the little leader, the artillerymen and musketeers immediately lit the fuses of their firearms.
boom!
The recoil generated by the firing of the artillery caused the ship to shake.
The archer draws the bow and arrow, aiming at the enemy and shooting freely.
The rest of the Ming army was also busy. They lit up blowtorches to burn the enemy's sails, threw fire bricks to ignite the decks, and disrupted the enemy's vision.
Everything happened so suddenly that the Jiannu patrol boats were caught off guard and were instantly overwhelmed by various attacks.
"Ah!" The Jiannu soldiers in the sea of fire screamed miserably, "Water! Save me!"
"The fire bricks are burning, throw them down!"
"The sailboat is on fire, lower the sail and put out the fire!"
"Cough cough cough," the Jiannu soldiers on the patrol boat covered their mouths and noses and looked for upwind access.
Just as they found an upwind vent and took a deep breath, the Ming army launched a second wave of attack at them.
"Go to hell!" A Ming soldier shot the arrow in his hand with force.
"Take my shot!" The gunner, who had finished reloading, lit the fuse again.
"Little Fire Brick is coming!"
The Eight Banners soldiers, who had finally escaped from the sea of fire and thick smoke, suffered heavy casualties under the saturation attack of the Ming army.
Although the Eight Banners soldiers on the patrol boats launched sporadic counterattacks, they were of no avail.
Because the warships of both sides were too close to each other, the Jiannu soldiers were shot and killed by the Ming army as soon as they showed their heads.
Amidst the billowing smoke, a raging fire broke out on the Jiannu patrol boat.
In order to avoid the flames, the Eight Banners soldiers on the ship jumped into the sea to escape.
However, the Ming army did not let them go. Instead, they stood on the deck with weapons in hand and began hunting the Eight Banners soldiers who fell into the water like fishermen catching fish.
With a hiss!
A spear pierced the body of an Eight Banners soldier. Two Ming soldiers lifted the body and dragged it onto the boat, while the third Ming soldier took a beheading knife and began to cut off his head.
The three of them cooperated very well, and the whole set of movements was seamless.
After cutting off the head, the Ming soldier holding the beheading knife laughed and said, "Twenty taels of silver are in hand!"
The head of a northern barbarian (Jiannu and Mongolian) was worth twenty taels of silver.
Amid screams, heads were thrown onto the deck.
Blood continued to ooze out of the hideous head, and the blood, which should have been bright red, turned dull and colorless under the washing of sea water.
These Eight Banners soldiers never figured out why Zheng’s army attacked them until their death!
The one who also didn't understand was Shang Kexi, who was watching the battle from a distance.
He stared at all this in amazement, as if asking a question or talking to himself: "What...what is going on? Could it be that the other party is a fake Zheng family army?"
"That's not right!" Shang Kexi was getting more and more confused. "We are the fake Ming army. If they are the fake Zheng army, then we should be one family. Why did they suddenly launch a sneak attack?"
In fact, the root of this matter lies with Zheng Zhilong.
In order to avoid being discovered smuggling to the Jiannu, Zheng Zhilong only told a very small number of people about this matter.
His son Zheng Chenggong did not know about it.
In other words, in the eyes of Zheng Chenggong and his subordinates, the Jiannu were their mortal enemies.
On the other hand, let's look at Shang Kexi.
Since they had been stationed on Jeonra Island for a long time and were well aware of Zheng Zhilong's smuggling, when they encountered Zheng's army, they thought they had encountered "friendly troops" and did not set up any defenses at all.
As a result, they were caught off guard by the Ming army.
Looking at the patrol boat submerged in the sea, Shang Kexi no longer had the energy to think about what was going on. He shouted angrily behind him: "Pass the order, attack!"
boom!
As the cannon fire sounded on the central army ship, the command flag began to wave.
Twenty-four warships raised their sails and rushed towards Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong urgently ordered the patrol boat to return while adjusting the formation to prepare to meet the enemy.
At the same time, he also sent a message to Zheng Hongkui, asking him to send warships for support.
Before the message arrived, Zheng Hongkui ran into trouble.
A fleet appeared in his field of vision, a fleet consisting of dozens of warships rushing towards him in a mighty manner.
"Report!" The personal soldier standing on the high ground shouted to the people below: "The enemy is flying the Jiannu flag, and there are nearly forty warships!"
Zheng Hongkui appeared as serious as ever on the surface, but he felt relieved in his heart.
Whether the other party is a real Jiannu or a fake Jiannu, they pose no threat to him.
If the other party is a real Jiannu, he will be let go for the sake of Zheng’s army.
It would be easier to deal with if the other party was a fake Jiannu.
The purpose of impersonating the Jiannu is to throw dirty water on the Jiannu, and only the enemies of the Jiannu would do this.
Who were the enemies of the Jiannu?
Currently there is only the Ming army!
Although the Zheng family army was a private army, it was nominally the official army of the Ming Dynasty.
When the Ming army meets the Ming army, there will be no trouble.
On the sea, the northwest wind blew on the sails, making a whistling sound.
Under Zheng Hongkui's gaze, the fleet flying the Jiannu flag suddenly began to slow down.
......
"Uncle, why did you slow down?" Shi Lang asked Shi Fu on the warship.
Shi Fu sighed, handed the Clairvoyance to Shi Lang and said, "Alas! The warships escorting the merchant ships are flying the Ming national flag and the Zheng flag. I'm afraid we will return empty-handed this time."
"Zheng's flag?" Shi Lang put down his clairvoyance and frowned as he asked, "Could it be the eldest son of the general?"
