1480 Be careful with your mouth

In this way, several more warships were injured and lowered their sails to surrender, but their opponents ignored them at all and let them float in the middle of the river. They continued to pursue them. As for the surrendered ships, they naturally solved the problem by the fleet behind them.

As the fleets of both sides approached, the Ming army's resistance became more and more crazy! They moved the artillery to the stern of the ship and fired at the other side. Their shells occasionally hit the opponent. But the opponent's ships were too strong! The shells were bounced out directly when they hit, causing no damage at all!

Even if they make a few holes on the other party's sail, sailors will immediately climb up along the mast and repair it quickly! It will not be possible to slow down the other party's speed!

As the distance between the two sides further shortened, the naval warships finally included the Ming warships within the shooting angle! When the first round of artillery fired, General Zhang Shen was sadly finding that he might not be able to escape!

He looked at the warship that was spitting smoke and fire not far away. He deeply understood the gap between the two sides! Finally, he stomped his feet and shouted: "Save the sails, surrender! Don't fight!"

Hearing General Zhang Shen's words, the sailor who was granted an amnesty immediately cut off the rope of the sail, completely ignoring the possibility of his own companions under the sail!

As the two sails on General Zhang Shen fell one after another, other Ming army ships also lowered their sails and surrendered! Only at the beginning did the small boats running in the front escape, and there were only about thirty or forty ships.

Seeing that the other side surrendered, the naval warships stopped shooting one after another. They circled around the Ming fleet like sharks catching prey. After two rounds, they left two ships to monitor the surrendered Ming army, and the other ships continued to go upstream and headed straight to the naval camp in Yanziji!

After ordering surrender, Zhang Shen, who had been standing at the bow of the ship, saw the inland gunboats behind him following him. He began to be glad that he had made such a wise decision to surrender! Because at a rough look, there were almost at least 600 gunboats in front of him, and a large number of transport ships appeared at the same time! These ships almost covered the river!

When the Marine came to his ship to take over the ship, General Zhang Shen asked with a smile: "I don't know which big guy you are."

My subordinates? Why are there so many boats?"

General Zhang Shen knew from the standards of these ships that these ships had unified specifications. Such ships could only be built by major forces! And now there is only one person with this strength, that is, the Red Eye Dragon King on the Outer Sea!

General Zhang Shen was sure because the dozens of warships that fought with him were clearly like sea ships! General Zhang Shen also had a meal on water after all. Although he had never been to the sea, he also knew that there was a terrible figure in the sea called the Red Eyed Dragon King!

He was the first person in history to truly unify the world! Instead of retaining the independence of other pirates as in the past, he just nominally surrendered. He killed all the pirates who refused to surrender!

And he also trained every pirate like a soldier, so they became a real army! If his territory was not the sea, it would be a country now!

Moreover, General Zhang Shen also had a guess: Maybe it was the Red Eye Dragon King who defected to the Shandong man! Otherwise, how could a sea boat suddenly break into the Yangtze River? After all, the Red Eye Dragon King's foundation is not here!

That's why General Zhang Shen asked with great hope, and he also expected that the Red Eye Dragon King was here to do the "buy and trade". After doing the "buy and trade", he would leave!

But unexpectedly, the soldier made him really desperate after answering! The soldier looked at him strangely and said, "We are the subordinates of Shandong General Lord Liu, and we are not bandits at all! If you talk nonsense, be careful of your mouth!"

When General Zhang Shen heard this, his mind buzzed, and even his lips trembled! As a navy general who has been stationed in Nanjing for many years, he still has enough channels to find out the news he needs.

It is now rumored in Nanjing that Liu Pei defeated the Dashun Army and also defeated the Qing army! Now the power is in the north and there is no boundary! As a result, Liu Pei's warship appeared on the Yangtze River again and launched an attack without hesitation. This can only show one thing, Liu Pei rebelled!

Thinking of this, General Zhang Shen trembled and grabbed a handful of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the soldier's hand. At the same time, he said, "Brother, brother! Is this considered a surrender? Otherwise, if you give me a few good words, I will say that I admire General Liu very much and know that it is General Liu's.

I surrendered immediately after the fleet!"

The soldier looked at him contemptuously, patted his hand away, and pushed him aside. General Zhang Shen woke up with a wry smile. No matter how stupid Liu Pei's subordinates were, they could tell what it means to lose and surrender, and what it means to actively surrender! What's more, the person in front of him was just an ordinary soldier, and he couldn't do the level he wanted.

But then he followed up again, trying to stuff the money to the soldiers, and said, "Brother, please send me a message to the above, just say I want to meet the person above! Do a favor, thank you very much later!"

The soldier slapped his hand away and said, "There is no time to pay attention to you now! Stay here honestly. After the war is over, the superiors will naturally ask you about your situation."

The matter followed was much simpler. The navy's warships easily defeated all the resistance of the water camp and rushed into the camp.

As a large number of ships left, the water camp seemed a little empty. As a result, they rushed into more than a dozen warships and seemed a little congested. However, these warships were shooting around wantonly, defeating all resistance, and they only paid a slight price.

When they ceased to fire, the entire camp was already in chaos! The Marines and sailors landed skillfully and began to loot all war-related things and fairly complete warships. As for the warships they looked down upon, they were all dragged to the river and sunk!

Since then, the largest water Yangtze River navy in the hands of the Nanming government has been completely finished!

The battle on the river near Nanjing shocked the entire city of Nanjing! Countless people saw fierce battles between the two sides on the riverside. Of course, they also saw the Ming Navy surrender.

The residents near Yanziji also saw smoke rising from the Navy camp and rumbling sounds of cannons! Then they saw a large number of defeated soldiers escaping from the camp. The whole of Nanjing was shocked! Because everyone knew that the Navy was finished!
