Suddenly, a guard next to him shouted, "Your Highness, look over there." Zhu Zhi looked up with his fingers and saw three sailboats in the sea, pulling sails like arrows toward the shore, and they were about to meet with the three moored ships. The Japanese pirates had a backup! Zhu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and with these three ships, his troops were at a disadvantage. At this moment, he had the idea of ​​chanting gold to withdraw his troops. The enemy's nine ships were only one thousand people, and there were nearly two thousand people in his city, so there was no need to bother him here.

Just as Zhu Zhi was about to send a command to retreat, one of the three warships in the sea suddenly spurted a fire dragon on the side of one of them, spraying straight towards the sails of the Japanese pirates' flagship. The dry wooden sails were dripping with fire. The other two ships also shot out the fire dragon. One fell swoop, and the fire dragon scattered on the ship, and the other hit the sail of the third ship, burning "pop".

This incident made Zhu Zhi stunned. He looked carefully. He saw a golden flag flying on the masts of the three ships, and he could vaguely see a shark flapping his teeth and claws. The golden shark - Salini, it was him! That's right, these three are Salini's fleet.

The three Japanese pirate warships on fire were suddenly in chaos. The Japanese pirates' attention was still on the shore just now. They never expected Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway. Unpredictable, the three ships were attacked by fire to varying degrees, and the flames rushed high. Some of the Japanese pirates on the ship were putting out fires, some were firing sparse bows and arrows from the ships, and some just dived to escape. Salini's warships were also colored, and their arrows were much denser.

Not long ago, more than a dozen sampans carried no less than a hundred people away. These sampans were desperately rowing towards the shore in an attempt to reinforce. But now the large ship behind them was on fire, and the Japanese pirates on the sampan were stunned and were floating on the sea, unable to advance or retreat. The situation, which was originally evenly matched, suddenly reversed.

The three warships of Salini were bent beautifully in the sea, and gradually moved closer to the three unfired ships. Salini's naval combat skills were quite good. He first used fire to attack and knock out half of the opponent's strength, and then rely on help to catch and kill each other one by one. The Japanese pirates' ships were busy collecting their anchors and setting sail, but it was too late. The six ships on the sea overlapped together, and Salini's people jumped past and jumped onto the Japanese ship with a fierce look.

On the beach, the Ming army was facing the sea. The Japanese ship was on fire. Chu Zhi, who was like a bloody man, had already chopped down a Japanese pirate and whispered: "The Japanese pirate ship is burning, they can't escape." The guy cheered, his morale was high, and two more Japanese pirates were knocked down in the whole group.

Nearly a hundred Japanese pirates who were still supporting the coolie just now had discovered that the ship behind was on fire and their morale gradually declined. How could they withstand the charge of the Yulin Guard elite soldiers, who were already more numerous than them, and were forced into the water step by step.

Finally, one person couldn't stand it. He screamed in despair with a "wow" sound, threw away his weapons, and turned around and rushed towards the cold sea. The last trace of courage of the Japanese pirates in the water disappeared with the screams. The Japanese pirates threw down their samurai swords and rushed into the sea.

Chu Zhi took the lead and slashed on the back of a Japanese pirate with one knife. The Ming army shouted: "Kill them, no one will stay." He also jumped into the water to chase and chop the deserters. The shouts and screams filled the entire battlefield. Living people instantly turned into corpses. The calm sea had now become a slaughterhouse, and the unilateral slaughter seemed to have no end.

Some Ming troops had freed up their hands, took down bows and arrows from their horses, and shot arrows into the dilemma of the sampans. These sampans were stunned for a while and began to row towards the three Japanese ships that were not on fire. People fell into the sea from time to time under the blow of arrow rain. The Japanese pirates had collapsed, and now they just wanted to escape from this hell quickly. They saw that the enemy was fierce on the ship and had gradually controlled the situation. They were forced to flee and flee into the vast sea. God knew what fate would be waiting for these people.

A corpse with broken limbs and broken arms floated on the sea, and the red sea water slowly pushed the corpses to the shore. All 123 Japanese pirates who came ashore were killed, one of them was not left to live, and the Ming army finally avenged Wang Xiong. On the ship in the distance, two of the three Japanese ships on fire had been burned, the other sails were burned, and one rear mast collapsed. The other three ships had been completely occupied by Salini people, and the corpses of the Japanese pirates were being thrown down from the side.

Zhu Zhi strolled on the beach, blood kept rushing to the Shanghai beach, looking at the warships in the distance, and everything returned to peace. The battle situation just now was quite dangerous. If it weren't for Salini's mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were behind, it would be possible for anyone to die in the battle on the beach. Zhu Zhi looked at some injured soldiers and generals sitting on the ground bandage, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. The number of people was more than the Japanese pirates, and he was also the elite Yulin guard general in the capital, but he didn't get any advantage. The Japanese pirates' combat effectiveness was indeed a bit tricky.

A small sampan slowly sailed to the beach, and a burly blonde man stood at the bow of the boat, waving to Zhu Zhi. His marshal Salini was getting closer and closer, and Zhu Zhi also waved to him. With his arrival, Zhu Zhi's disappointment finally recovered a little.

As soon as the sampan was approaching the shore, Salini jumped onto the beach and walked to Zhu Zhi step by step. He took off his hat with one hand, put it on his chest, and bowed to pay tribute. This is a typical ancient Western etiquette, and Zhu Zhi nodded slightly as a return. It is not surprising that several Ming generals and officials around him were walking around in Nanjing. Even if they saw Ming officials, they would have such etiquette.

After seeing the li, Zhu Zhi enthusiastically gave Lao Sa a bear hug and said, "You kid is really better than you come sooner than you do. I waited for you for a whole morning and I actually waited for a bunch of Japanese pirates. Fortunately, you did a pretty job in burning Japanese ships."

Salini said, "Hehe, in fact, I found them a hundred miles away. There were more ships and people than me, and I didn't dare to act rashly, so I followed behind me. I guessed that they would give them a sudden time to get the anchor. Unexpectedly, His Highness was on the shore."

Zhu Zhi said: "Yes, this bay is the most suitable boat docking in this generation. I guess I should wait for you here. How about it, my wife and children are here."

Salini said furiously: "Haha, all are here, and more than 300 brothers are willing to follow me. It was really dangerous just now. If you had known that Your Highness was in a hurry, I would have killed the generals as soon as possible. Haha, but it was so satisfying. The more than 200 people on the three ships were killed. There were not only twenty prisoners left, which was considered to have avenged the last time. There were probably hundreds of people on the other ships, but they all became ducks. Please send someone to search for the fish that were caught along the coast."

Zhu Zhi said, "You are such a lucky general. As soon as you come, you will help me wipe out a group of Japanese pirates. I will boost my reputation in Liaodong. Come on, come on, go back to the city with me."

Salini said, "Not busy, my two boats go out to sweep away the remaining enemies. I have to wait for them to come back and thank your Highness for greeting you. It is better for your Highness to go back to the city first. I will come to the city early tomorrow morning."

Zhu Zhi said: "It's better, we might as well camp on this beach and talk at night with candles."

Salini bowed and said, "Sir, obey the order."

Zhu Zhi then introduced it to his subordinates one by one. Tie Xuan had long heard of Zhu Zhi's idea of ​​establishing a naval commander. At this time, he saw that the Seminister did have some experience in naval battles. He won the more with less and captured six Japanese ships. He thought that His Highness had a good vision. Yang Rong frowned. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have never been Seminister in the court. However, there were many Seminister officials in the previous dynasty, and those people had also produced a corrupt official Ahma. Although pirates usually recruited official positions, it would not be so easy to hand over the entire Liaodong Navy to him.

After this battle, there were 528 Japanese pirates who counted the bodies, and there were 23 prisoners. Tie Xuan interrogated the Han prisoners and realized that the group of Japanese pirates had just risen. The leader was Li Shu, who was a pirate who escaped from the Ming prison. He gathered six or seven hundred people, and hired more than 100 Japanese ronin, and used the Goryeo coast as a base, often harassing Liaodong and Shandong. This time, I heard that the Jinzhou Wei suffered a great loss a few months ago, and Li Shu wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he did not expect that he would be "ambushed" by the Ming army as soon as he got ashore. The burned mast was crushed to death on the flagship.

Tie Xuan immediately ordered people to go to the Jinzhou Guard to dispatch troops, with one hundred people in a team, and sent out ten hundred teams, using this place as the center of the circle to search for the remaining enemies. These Japanese pirates who fell into the water probably could not swim so far.

After an hour, the two ships that were chasing the sea also returned to the voyage. The report said that five more small boats had been overturned and more than fifty Japanese pirates were killed. In this way, there were less than twenty fish that had escaped the net, and they could not cause any major storms.

According to statistics, a total of 34 people were killed in one side of the Ming army, and another 83 were injured. Even the brave Chu Zhi had a lottery on his arm; Salini's navy had more than 20 casualties. Relatively speaking, Zhu Zhi won a big victory.

Yang Rong reminded him, "Your Highness, should you report your victory immediately?"

Zhu Zhi thought it was true, and he was very lucky. He had just arrived in Liaodong to annihilate more than 600 Japanese pirates. For the Ming Dynasty, which was not good at the navy and was constantly harassed by Japanese pirates, this was a great victory. He showed his merits and might have a positive role in establishing a navy in the future. He nodded and said, "Mianren, you should be responsible for writing the form."

Yang Rong asked: "How should I write the memorial form? How many Japanese pirates should I destroy?"

Zhu Zhicai remembered that the ancient memorial for winning was very knowledgeable, and even a defeat could be written into victory. Since that is the case, let's leave it to Yang Rong. He was an amateur. He smiled mysteriously and asked, "Where is the opinion of advocating benevolence?"

Yang Rong said: "According to my opinion, it is better to burn five Japanese ships, kill one thousand enemies, capture four enemy warships, and another twenty-three Japanese pirates. How about our army losing 100 people?" Yang Rong knew that the ship was burned, but he could not find out. Many Japanese pirates were thrown into the water and died without evidence, so he doubled the results.
