On the sea twenty miles north of Imperial City Island, more than a hundred ships gradually slowed down and ran towards Imperial City Island at a slow speed like a turtle climbing.

There were dozens of feet apart between the ships. There were less than a small boat swaying back and forth, whispering various commands. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only the soft sound of the oars making a water call.

The Imperial City Island was dark, with only the fire on the east side of the island flashing, where the Kong Youde army was stationed.

Lin Qingye stood at the bow of the boat, and the sea breeze blew his face, and was extremely excited. This trip was really hard. In order to avoid being discovered by the Kong Youde Ship, he had to disperse the ship in advance and hide it on several islands. After Han Kuo set off, he could not immediately follow him.

It was not until the ships sent to the front reported that Kong Youde had been completely baited and the army was far away from the coast of southern Liaoning that Lin Qingye gathered all the clutches to encircle and annihilate Kong Youde's scouts. Then he gathered the ships on each island and rushed to the Imperial City Island as fast as possible.

This time, Zhou Xianpin put everything in handing over the command of the navy to him completely. He must be worthy of this trust. But since the operation started, everything seemed to be developing in an inexplicable direction.

First of all, the difficulty of aggregating ships was beyond the initial expectations. Under Lin Qingye's forced order, the speed was much slower than expected.

And although it is spring now, for some reason, the winds and waves have been high these days. They have been coming day and night, and each ship has reached its maximum speed. During this period, there were four ships that only hit the reef and sunk, and nearly twenty were damaged.

This loss comes second, the most important thing is that they completely separated from Han Kuo for a long distance. Lin Qingye knew nothing about the situation of the battle ahead. Moreover, they arrived a whole day later than the initial agreed time.

Han Kuo led nearly a thousand soldiers to lure the enemy, and the original garrison soldiers on the island were only 1,200. Kong Youde led more than 7,000 soldiers, and it is difficult to predict whether Han Kuo could resist it. Once Han Kuo could not support it, he would inevitably provide support. Once that happens, the consequences would be difficult to predict.

Kong Youde is not an incompetent person. Once he finds that there are still a thousand ambush soldiers on the island, if he flees immediately, all the effort he has spent before will be wasted. Even if he doesn't escape, he will be prepared, it will definitely be a tough battle.

Therefore, Lin Qingye finally breathed a sigh of relief after the Qing army was still stationed on the island.

It was already four o'clock now, and it would be clear in less than three hours.

The ship slid and slowly approached towards the established target. The night was as dark as ink, not even half a star. The Ming army moved gently, and the Qing army's whistlemen had not noticed them.

After reaching the range of the Fran machine gun, the Ming army's large ships lined up. All the cannons on the ship were moved aside, targeting the Qing army ships docked on the coast. The turtle ships that lacked artillery were moved to the rear of the large ship and formed an attack queue, ready to raid the escaped Qing army ships at any time.

Kong Youde was sleeping soundly, and suddenly there was a thunderous thunder. A deafening sound of cannons suddenly woke him up completely. He was shocked and quickly ran out of the account without even wearing shoes, and then he was completely stunned.

The dark night is as bright as daylight, and as bright as fireworks.

On the sea not far away, there were fires and countless shells hit. The self-armed ships on the coast were motionless, densely arranged on the coast, and more than ten ships were hit in an instant.

Kong Youde left some soldiers on the ship, not many, enough to drive the ship. But this was the most exhausting moment of the day, and everyone was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, when a gun attack was attacked, most of them were confused and had no idea what was going on.

But there were also some who were quick to react. They shouted and greeted the soldiers. They asked them to return to their posts and slowly start the ships. But many of them were not so lucky, and they were hit by artillery before they moved for a long time and placed on the shore.

Most of Kong Youde's subordinates were from poor backgrounds. They retreated from Liaodong to Denglai, and then fled from Denglai to Liaodong. They were all cruel people after many battles. They were suddenly attacked and were extremely panicked, but they did not intend to surrender. Kong Youde also woke up at this time and kept shouting loudly.

The soldiers around gradually gathered together, and countless people boarded the boat through the pontoon bridge. Some of them rushed to the cabin to help start the ships. Some moved the artillery and aimed them at the Ming army ships in front of them. However, due to vision problems, they did not work most of the time, and the shells were sparse, but they finally began to fight back.

The two personal guards stepped forward and put on clothes and armor on Kong Youde. "Where is Cao Dewang! Where is Cao Dewang?"

Cao Dewang ran over quickly, his face dark. He was one of the more miserable ones. The tent was placed near the coast. A shell that had taken off the target exploded outside his tent, and several personal soldiers were either killed or injured. Although he was not injured, the shell directly knocked him out. It took a long time before he realized and began to command the soldiers to seize the ship.

He ran to Kong Youde and shouted loudly: "Prince, Mingdog sneak attacks. Look at the number of people, I'm afraid that the main force of the Denglai Navy. If this continues, our ships may not be ten or three, and it will be difficult to fight against them again."

Kong Youde raised his eyebrows coldly and was silent for a moment: "The Ming army should have come in a hurry, so he did not find our ships on the north side of the island. You took two thousand people to board the ship immediately, use the turtle boat to disrupt their sight, and buy time for the big ship to start."

Cao Dewang responded and shouted loudly: "First, 2nd, and 3rd camps follow me to the north of the island." The Ming army destroyed the ship, and the Tianyou Army's system was basically still intact. After this shout, more than a thousand people ran over with Cao Dewang.

But because of panic, most people only hold their usual weapons in their hands, and many people don’t even wear armor.

When he talked, he stood in front of the jungle, followed by more than a thousand soldiers. Seeing the Qing army divided the troops, the battlefield was very messy. He curled his lips and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time for revenge is here. Rush me and drive the Tartars into the sea to feed the turtles."

The sound of the Tiger Cannon opened the horn of the attack.

In the jungle in the distance, countless Ming soldiers rushed out like ghosts. They held weapons and picked up the antlers with an unstoppable momentum, and instantly fought with the Qing army's rear team. Those were all Koreans, and their combat power was not worth mentioning. They screamed and fled in scattered, making the originally chaotic scene even more chaotic.
