The battle in Fuchun City was terrifying. The Ruan Family Rebel Army, which was regarded as cannon fodder by the Jiuzhou Army, suffered hundreds of casualties, while the Jiuzhou Army's expedition team was not killed and had been supporting the enemy with artillery behind.

However, in the vast sea, the Jiuzhou Army was not the supporter of the wall, but the absolute main force. On the contrary, dozens of small and medium-sized ships of the Ruan Family Navy could only follow behind the butt to chase the Zheng Family Navy and the Dutch warships that fled.

"Give up the Rili Haikou, otherwise we will be wiped out!" Seeing the Nanyang Fleet chasing closely, Putmans, the commander of the Netherlands warship, did not care about sailing into the Rili Haikou, but continued to flee to the northern waters.

"If we give up Rilihaikou, the enemy will be able to detour behind our Changyuzui defense line and attack our 40,000 troops on Changyuzui defense line! This is a major fault that I cannot bear, and I will not be able to explain to Master Zheng at that time!" The generals of the Zheng family navy jumped out of the way when they saw that Rilihaikou, which was about to bypass the Zheng family's imperial guards, jumped out in anger.

"You can send a small boat into Rilihaikou and remind the infantry there to set up defenses along the coastline, and maybe they can slightly block their landing. If our fleet wants to enter Rilihaikou defense, it is simply a living target. I have never seen anyone stupid enough to put themselves in a desperate situation. You must know that our ships do not have long legs!" Putmans was also furious, "You can't help you if you don't leave. This is on the deck of my Chivi. The three Dutch warships must stay away from the demons sent by Satan from the Kyushu Army!"

Putmans was the governor of Yizhou sent by the East India Company three years ago. He owned more than ten warships, owning Taiwan City and Chikan City. As a result, the predecessor of this Nanyang fleet uprooted their Netherlands forces from Yizhou, and before expelling them, they painted turtles on their faces to express humiliation. This led to the decline of Putmans' status in the East India Company. Later, he was sent by the Governor of Jakarta to contact the Zheng family and wanted to strengthen the influence of the East India Company by aiding the Zheng family. At the same time, because the Flang Ji people helped the Ruan family, the Dutran, which competed with the Flang Ji, had to stand opposite them.

"Damn it, I'll go with you!" After a moment of thinking, the generals of the Zheng family's naval army knew that what Putmans said was not a false alarm. With the power of the artillery of the South Ocean Fleet, if they hide in Rili Haikou, Rili Haikou, which lacks sea defense cannons, would become the cemetery of their fleet.

A fast ship separated from the Zheng family naval army and quickly approached the Rilihaikou. This was the warning sent by the Zheng family naval army to the 10,000 imperial guards stationed near the Rilihaikou. The 10,000 imperial guards were originally going to take the naval army's troop ship to bypass the Changdeli defense line and attack the Ruan family army from behind, but they were not waiting for their own naval army, but the Nanyang fleet with a group of younger brothers.

"The Chinese army is coming, they are standing on the side of the Ruan family!" Before the sailors on this clutch had approached the coast, they jumped on the boat and waved their hands, and frantically warned the Imperial Guards patrolling the shore.

However, the patrolling Imperial Army soldiers did not expect that the navy, who was originally in sight, would be defeated by the sudden intervention of the Nanyang Fleet. At the same time, both sides were far away. They thought that the recruitment of sailors on the Clippers was good news, and they waved at them coquettishly.

"The Da Zhao formation continued to pursue the Zheng family naval division and returned fifty miles later. The remaining formations followed the Da Qin to attack Rilihaikou, filled with artillery, and prepared to bombard the shelling!" Deng Qianlong pressed his sword and continuously adjusted the formation according to the changing situation.

The original twenty warships were divided into two fleets, of which the Dawei formation had only four ships, chasing nearly a hundred Zheng Family Navy and the Netherlands warships around the Rilihaikou and heading north. The remaining main force entered the Rilihaikou. If the navies of Western countries fighting on the European battlefield at this time dared to pursue a large fleet of ships when they saw only four warships, they would definitely doubt whether they had read it wrong.

"Sir, the fleet of the Jiuzhou Army seems to be divided into two parts. Look, their main force seems to be attacking Rili Haikou, and some of them continue to pursue the enemy northward." The Ruan Navy, who had been following the Nanyang Fleet, was also in a dilemma.

"Just follow their main force! If you go north to chase, it will be bad if you fall into the enemy's counterattack and are surrounded." Ruan Phucxi didn't think much about it. In short, following the main force of the Nanyang Fleet, even if you can't win, you can ensure that you are safe and sound.

So dozens of Ruan Navy followed Deng Qianlong and the others into the Rili Haikou.

"Commander, do we need to land on the beach? There seem to be a lot of enemies on the coastline, and I can see their continuous military camps." Deng Qianlong's adjutant could see through the monocular telescope that there was a defense line composed of military tents from south to north of the coastline, and there were probably many soldiers.

"They were stationed in the port, probably to transport these infantry to the south. Now it has become the hope of defending Rili Haikou. Our navy is good at naval battles, and when there is no need, we should not sacrifice our troops for forcibly landing." Deng Qianlong thought for a while, "Call the sailors who sent the Ruan Navy to our ship."

After a while, several soldiers of the Ruan Navy were taken to Deng Qianlong.

"You use your own navy's flag to inform the Ruan family navy who are following us, and ask them to prepare to send ships to capture the beach. Their ships have shallow water, which is more suitable for attacking the bay. Our Nanyang Fleet warships are huge and are too likely to hit the reefs." Deng Qianlong said.

Several Ruan family sailors changed color slightly. They all knew that there were a large number of defenders on the coastline. If they attacked at this time, many soldiers might be sacrificed. However, what Deng Qianlong said was not unreasonable, and there was no reason for large ships to approach the beach to fight in person.

"Don't worry, we will support them with artillery at the edge of the coastal defense line. As long as they gain a foothold on the coastline, our soldiers will keep up as soon as possible. Once something happens in Rilihaikou, the Zheng family army attacking the Changdelei defense line will definitely stop the offensive and find a way to retake Rilihaikou. At that time, the siege of Changdelei defense line will be broken by itself." Deng Qianlong patted a Ruan sailor on the shoulder, "Tell them again that if they do not send ships to land on the beach, we may have to go home."

The Ruan family sailor was sweating profusely. He already knew what Deng Qianlong was thinking. When Deng Qianlong was about to sacrifice his soldiers, he let the Ruan family naval master who was watching the show rush to be cannon fodder in front. What a sinister intention. He also used threatening methods to force them to do this. But the Ruan family naval master had to choose to compromise at this critical moment.
