Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 462 Pyrrhic Victory
It really echoed a popular saying of Song Qingshu before time travel, who loves whose grandson!

Even if more than half of the ship was killed or injured, the banner of the begging army was still floating on the Haiquan, Song Qingshu was fighting, and the rest of the ships were still gritted their teeth and continued to fight, but the Haiquan stood up, but Zheng Zhilong did not live.

Zhang Huangyan did not escape at all. Seeing that Song Qingshu's flagship was caught in the enemy's formation, he was so anxious that he took four Yingtian ships equipped with enough equipment to destroy a large blessing ship and left the battlefield on the right, but went straight to the back to watch the excitement Zheng Zhilong went away on a treasure ship, and he wanted to come to attack the enemy and save him.

The firepower is really not at the same level. The British-Western sea battle that determined the supremacy of the Atlantic Ocean is replayed here on a small scale. It occupies the upper wind and is separated by two or three miles. The Hongyi cannons are roaring to their heart's content. Fighting, the fierce battle lasted for almost an hour, relying on the superiority of the ship, Zhang Huangyan sank six of Zheng Zhilong's frigates in a daze.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong was also a well-known bloody man in the South China Sea, but the richer he is, the less courageous he becomes. After building the Zheng family house in his hometown in Yanping, which is almost bigger than the Fuwang Mansion, Zheng Zhilong is satisfied. Ambition, otherwise, he would not have defected to the Qing Dynasty so easily, and was slaughtered as a pig in the end.

When the first shell hit the treasure ship, Zheng Zhilong fled!

The entire Zheng family fleet is centered on Zheng Zhilong. During the desperate resistance of the beggar army, they are also struggling, bearing astonishing casualties, and looking back suddenly, their leader has run away. The loyalty of the Jianghu formed the Zheng family. The morale of the fleet also collapsed in an instant, and the Zheng family's fleet, which was entangled with each other and burning with fire, simply dissipated in the direction of the country of Wa.

Even if it was set on fire, in such a fierce battle, many places on the Sea Power were burned. Only the mizzen mast was left among the three masts. Hundreds of corpses lay lying on the deck, and there were bayonets pierced into the bodies and wooden boards everywhere. , spears and swords, although the victory was tragic, it was regarded as a Pyrrhic victory in Western proverbs, but the living army won in the end.

The big lucky boat that hit the tail of the Haiquan escaped directly, while the big lucky boat leaning on the port side of the Haiquan ate more than 50 rounds of the Hongyi cannon shells at zero distance, and rowed crookedly for less than 30 meters , With a thud, he rolled over and waited to die in the sea.

Those pirates who rushed into the cabin of Haiquan just now and ran around before they came and escaped, and now they are all caught in the urn. Dozens of people squatted on the deck with their heads in their arms. They almost lost their daughters. With such a heavy loss online, Song Qingshu is now full of murderous intentions.

"Come on, open two holes for these bastards and throw them overboard!"

Under Song Qingshu's fierce orders, the soldiers of Songjiang First Division, who were also red-eyed, immediately unloaded their bayonets and walked forward with a grinning grin. After a scream, a group of pirates were kicked off the side of the ship with ropes tied under their feet. .

Tens of thousands of people fell into the water and died in the fierce battle. The blood dyed the sea red, which naturally attracted bloodthirsty monsters. At the beginning, these pirates were still full of swear words, but in just a few seconds, all the swear words turned into screams and screams. Howling, Yu'er couldn't bear to turn her head back, but Li Xiangjun, who was holding her in his arms and was also stained with blood, covered her eyes.

After dealing with this group of bastards, Song Qingshu let out a fit of anger and began to order to clean up the mess.

In this battle, two Yingtian warships of the Qihuo Army were also sunk, and as many as seven were occupied. Of the remaining ones, the remaining 50-meter Dafu, Cangshan, and the Western Carville-style boats were fully damaged by more than half.

However, most of the main force of Zheng Zhilong's fleet was destroyed, and almost all the fireships were damaged here. More than 100 Dafu ships were sunk and 22 were sunk, and the losses of the remaining ships were also countless. At least fell into the water, killing and injuring more than 2 people.

As the unlucky one in the front ranks being besieged in the middle, Haiquan was considered the biggest loss. More than 100 soldiers of Song Qingshu died in battle. Thirteen places on the hull caught fire, and the main and auxiliary masts were all broken, leaving only the bare foremast. The side of the ship is also broken, with only the keel remaining, and the right side can even be seen from the left side.

After disposing of those pirates, Song Qingshu hurriedly turned around and started self-rescue work. This is the Dragon Triangle of the Sea of ​​Death. Many battleships have been beaten to pieces. If you don’t leave here quickly, you may be caught in a big storm. After boarding, all the ships lowered the lifeboats one after another after contacting each other. Regardless of the Zheng family's army or his own people, those who could be saved had to be fished out. The flames of war were extinguished by fetching water, and the scarred begging army fleet also began to turn around.

It was a good fight just now, but now there is a wail in the cabin. Those who were shot and stabbed. The captain's cabin was all poured out to accommodate the sick and injured.

It's true to say that it was wailing!
"Oh, my arm hurts!"

"Oops, I got shot in the shoulder, I'm going to be disabled!"

"My legs! My legs!"

"My crotch...don't hit me, whoops!"

One by one, the men turned into big ladies, and they were laid on the mattresses in a row, yelling at each other. The two old military doctors on the other side of the ship and a dozen waitresses in the restaurant were also busy fetching hot water, but The eyes of a group of bastards were fixed on the pretty figure in the innermost part of the captain's room.

The luxurious silk dress was once again dyed blood red, like last time, regardless of fatigue, Yu'er tried her best to use the medical knowledge she had learned to help clean the wound and bandage it. There is no TV in this era, no For computers, there are not so many celebrities and Internet celebrities. Yuer, who sings for everyone, is the goddess of common people in the eyes of middle and lower class citizens. Let him bandage himself, and every soldier feels great honor.

There was even a guy who was held down by Yu'er in a daze, and stared at him stupidly. The old military doctor cut a knife into the bullet hole in his thigh, dug out the lead bullet and forgot the pain, until Yu'er was busy Going to the next patient, the waitress who had a crush on him in the back poured the highly disinfected wine on it through gritted teeth, only then did he hear the miserable howling of a pig being slaughtered.

"Sister Yu'er!"

Just when Yu'er was busy with work, a timid voice suddenly came from behind, Yu'er turned her head in surprise, it turned out that Luan'er and the others had also come up from the bottom cabin, and ran away after leaving Yu'er just now. Everyone felt a little guilty, especially Luan'er felt uneasy, but just now she pushed Yu'er down in a panic, which made her almost suffer a murderous hand.

What made her shudder even more was Song Qingshu. In order to vent her anger on Yu'er, this iron-blooded ruthless man, one of the most powerful in Nanzhili, threw all the more than forty pirate captives who rushed into the cabin and robbed them all down the deck and fed them to the sharks. Seeing that scream, Luan'er was terrified to the extreme.

But looking back at everyone, Yu'er suddenly raised her sweaty bangs, but smiled warmly.

"Everyone is fine, great!"

In a word, the guilt-ridden girls were a little moved, and Luan'er was relieved, but Yu'er's expression turned a little anxious.

"Sisters! Everyone was injured for the sake of our adoptive father and to protect us. Let's help out and save people together!"

"Yes, what Yu'er said is right! Hurry up and help!" Rolling up his sleeves, Qiaoyan followed immediately and wanted to join in. Unfortunately, before he could start, he was dragged to wash his hands by the old military doctor with a rigid face, and disinfected with alcohol .

If the other [-] girls of the Qinhuai Orchestra really made the wounded howl at the moment, a few of them will just study and wait for a few of them to understand some medical skills, and the rest of the bandages will not be serious or serious, and they will all hurt. The sailor who was pretending just now will really grin his teeth, in pain and happiness.

Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, wiped off her sweat and straightened her waist, but suddenly, Yu'er found something again, quickly picked up the bandage ball and disinfectant alcohol, and walked towards the door.

Unlike those grinning sailors, Song Yongzhong was as silent as a stone, sitting quietly by the door, but compared to others, his injuries were much more serious, even if he was protected by a helmet and chain mail, he still survived. He had suffered countless knife wounds on his arms, face, and legs, especially the foot that the pirate stepped on his right hand so hard that his entire right hand was swollen and bruised.

But even so, this iron-blooded man was still full of silence, gritted his teeth, washed his right hand in the basin with his left hand, applied the medicine himself, and wrapped it with a bandage round and round with difficulty.

But he couldn't tie the last knot with his left hand. After trying several times in a row, when the knot was loosened again, a pair of white hands suddenly took it, loosened the bandage, and then re-wrapped the knot. tie.

"Miss Yu'er!"

Raising his head in astonishment, Song Yongzhong's dark and stocky face obviously showed embarrassment, and he lowered his head and muttered: "Miss, I can do it myself!"

"do not move!"

But Yu'er couldn't help saying, holding down his hand, and Xuanji was holding a cotton ball dipped in alcohol, and carefully helped him clean up the bruises around his eyes. a feeling of.

At some point, the wounded near Song Yongzhong suddenly fell silent.

……

Those who were injured went to heal their wounds, while those who were not injured continued to struggle. On the deck, more than a dozen ropes were deployed, and dozens of sailors chanted and pulled the heavy mainmast out of the sea again. The wooden boards were connected in a circle, and the wet sails, which were already covered with blood and holes, were also hung high. The last few, the Sea Power sailed out of the burning sea.

It took almost an hour to deal with the follow-up, and the tragedy of the battle had been covered up by the sea, but Song Qingshu looked back, and it was still a raging fire ignited by kerosene burning everywhere, densely packed corpses floating on the sea surface, and Half-sunken boats, floating wooden barrels, and broken planks filled the entire sea, adding a bit of gloom to this sea of ​​death.

"Once you succeed, your bones will dry up!" Song Qingshu couldn't help blurting out as he watched.

At this time, the lifting pulley on the side of the boat was suddenly pulled up. With great excitement, Shi Lang and Zhang Huangyan trotted back one after the other.

"Master, we have won!"

"Won!"
