Their own naval fleet came to help, and they beat the Qing army's navy to the ground. The Ming army stationed at the Zhoushan Fortress naturally had high morale.

However, the reaction of the Qing army on Zhoushan Island was exactly the opposite of that of the Ming army.

On the sea, just as the fleets of the two sides fought against each other, the Qing army showed signs of decline.

Such a scene caused the morale of the Qing army on Zhoushan Island to collapse.

They seem to have seen the scene where they were wiped out on Zhoushan Island by the Ming army.

……

On the sea, the naval battle between the Ming army and the Qing army continued.

To be precise, it was the Qing army that had not been able to escape from the battlefield under the obstruction of the Ming army.

The large and small ships of the Qing army were sunk by the Ming army's naval guns.

Amidst the rumble of cannons, the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke and shells flew across.

The shells fired by the naval artillery one after another scattered the sawdust of the Qing army warships.

Shi Lang's flagship was taken care of, and countless cannonballs fired at him.

Simple trebuchets were set up on the deck of the warships of the Ming army!
The sailors are operating in an orderly manner!

One by one, clay pots filled with oil were thrown out by the trebuchet, hitting the hull of Shi Lang's flagship one after another.

Clay pots shattered and sticky oil spilled out.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, red hot bullets came out of the chamber!

The hot bomb hit the place where the oil was spilled, and the high temperature carried by the shell instantly ignited the oil.

In the blink of an eye, the fire spread rapidly!
A soldier of the Qing army wailed and screamed, turning into a black charred corpse in the raging fire.

The clothes of many sailors of the Qing army were stained with oil, and they burned at one point.

Let out a shrill scream, and jumped into the sea in despair!

However, even the oil-stained clothing soaked in seawater took a long time to completely extinguish.

The reason for the extinguishment is not that it was extinguished by sea water, but because the thermal conductivity of water is better than that of air, and the heat of the ignited clothes is lost rapidly.

The heat of the clothes is reduced below the ignition point of the oil, and the fire is extinguished!
The sail of Shi Lang's flagship was also ignited by the fire, and together with the mast, it turned into a tall torch.

Flames, shelling, and shouts of killing constitute the main theme of the battlefield!
Shi Lang watched helplessly as a large number of Qing army masters turned into puddles of shredded meat from the shells fired by Ming warships.

Countless soldiers of the Qing army charged one after another, wanting to join forces to fight against the Ming army.

But without exception, they were all beaten by the Ming army's platoon guns and couldn't hold their heads up!
Snapped!clap clap!clap clap clap!

Amid the condescending and orderly row of gunfire, the soldiers of the Qing army fell to the ground in unison like cutting wheat.

The deck of the warship of the Qing army was also hit by countless lead shells, and the sawdust was splashed everywhere!

Duolong sat slumped on the chair in the command room, watching the almost one-sided battle situation on the battlefield, and truly felt what despair is.

Finished!

It's over!

The Yangtze River Fleet in the Qing Dynasty was over, and at this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

With a click, the mast broke in the raging fire, and the burning canvas covered countless Qing army sailors under the canvas.

Click!
During the period of the Qing army, a large hole was made in the side of the side by a solid shell.

Several shells hit that spot one after another, and the breach on the side of the ship was continuously enlarged.

The sea water poured back, and the hull began to sink!
"kill!"

The small boats of the Ming army swarmed up, wanting to jump in and capture Shi Lang's bandit chieftain.

Crackling!

Amid a neat volley of gunfire, the resisting Qing army sailors were killed and wounded in large numbers.

The soldiers of the Ming army launched a bayonet charge!

Amidst the shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Ming army formed the most basic formation of three talents.

A group of three, with two in front and one behind, formed an inverted triangle and charged towards the Qing army.

Soldiers from both sides strangled together!
The fierce battle lasted only a moment, and the Qing army was defeated by the Ming army, turned around and fled.

They used their generous backs to resist the bayonets of the Ming army.

"kill!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Daming Wansheng!"

"..."

Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the flagship of the Qing army's navy was captured by the Ming army's Tiaobang.

Shi Lang and Duolong's personal soldier Goshha died in battle one after another. In desperation, the two jumped into the sea from the side of the ship, preparing to die for the Qing Dynasty.

Duolong is a Manchu who lived in Liaodong since he was a child. He is good at riding and shooting, but he is not good at water.

After falling into the water, he thumped a little bit for a while, then sank to the bottom, and he seemed to be dead.

But Shi Lang grew up by the sea!

Sea water really can't drown him!
Shi Lang's figure was like a swimming fish, he plunged into the water and swam out of the battlefield.

Strong desire to survive!
However, how could the Ming army let him go easily?
Several small boats of the Ming army started chasing and intercepting him, and even some sailors of the Ming army who were from the Dan people jumped into the sea directly, with a dagger in their mouths, and killed Shi Lang.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lang was blocked by Ming soldiers.

Shi Lang didn't want to be a prisoner, so he simply killed himself with a knife.

Blood smeared on the sea surface.

On the battlefield, the remaining warships of the Qing army scattered to break through!
Many warships of the Qing army were sunk, but many warships of the Qing army were also killed from the encirclement of the Ming army.

On the sea surface of Zhoushan, there are scattered and fleeing Qing navy ships everywhere.

Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and ordered.

"Order the fleet, the whole army will attack!"

"Destroy the Qing army's ships as much as possible, and destroy the vitality of the Qing army's Yangtze River Navy!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu's ship ordered the flag to change, and the warships of the Ming army changed from gathering and fighting to scattered, chasing the Qing army at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, the fleeing Qing warships were surrounded and wiped out!

The main force of the remaining Ming army fleet began to approach the direction of Zhoushan port.

A salute was fired in the Zhoushan Fortress to welcome the arrival of our own reinforcements!
The victory of the naval battle has already determined the outcome of the Zhoushan battle!

The rest is really only the finishing touches!

The navy of the Qing army was completely wiped out, and the troops and horses of the Qing army who landed in Zhoushan lost their logistical supplies.

And the food and grass supplies in their army can only be used for three to five days!
Even if they can fight, no matter how powerful they are.

As long as the Ming army besieged the island and trapped them for a few days, the Qing army, which had run out of food and grass, would never escape the end of extinction.

……

With the temporary end of the naval battle, the Ming army got in touch with Zhoushan Fortress and began to transport food, grass, military equipment, and medicinal materials to Zhoushan Fortress.

The main force of the Ming army began to land, and cooperated with the defenders in the Zhoushan Fortress to attack the Qing army that had landed in Zhoushan.

Under the cover of naval guns, the Ming army completed the landing.

A group of soldiers and horses of the Ming army rushed towards the camp of the Qing army on Zhoushan Island.

Under the successive attacks of the Ming army and the internal and external attacks of the fortress defenders, the Qing army quickly collapsed.

Especially those green camps, under despair, almost collapsed at the touch of a finger.

The more than a thousand Jiangning Eight Banners still want to resist stubbornly.

But after being dragged by the Ming army with field artillery and bombarded for a few rounds, it completely collapsed.

The flag was broken, and the surface of the flag was trampled by thousands of feet!

There were routs of the Qing army all over the mountains and plains. Countless Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army took off their armor and ran away throwing away their helmets and armor.

The Ming army wore scarlet armour, aggressive like fire, attacking again and again!

charge!charge!
Non-stop charge!
Countless Qing troops were submerged in the tide-like charge of the Ming army.

The Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Jiangning were slaughtered on the battlefield like pigs and dogs.

A cavalry team of the Qing army turned around the pier, trying to fight back against the Ming army!

The horses trampled on the ground and rushed past, causing a lot of casualties to the Ming army!
