I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

A large number of ships that have not yet engaged in the battle followed Zheng Zhihu to turn. As for the Ming army who had been entangled with the Hua army, they could no longer turn around.

This group of people has been abandoned by Zheng Zhihu.

These Ming troops, who were still in fierce battle with the Hua army, did not even see the order of the main ship.

After all, they need to observe the situation in the battle situation and do not have time to stare at the main ship all the time.

From time to time, though, they would still occasionally check to see if there were any new orders.

It doesn't matter if you don't look back, once you look back, it just ruins the three views.

These front-line generals were surprised to find that their own troops were retreating.

Why did the large army retreat, they did not know the reason.

But this is not important. The important thing is that the large troops are retreating, but they have not been notified. This is too much. Isn't this harming people.

The main force has been withdrawn, and it is meaningless for them to stay here.

It is impossible to defeat the main force of the Chinese army with only these forwards.

More importantly, without follow-up support, they will die if they stay here.

"Zheng Zhihu, the bastard, has already abandoned us."

After finding themselves abandoned, a large number of Ming army generals began to curse.

As their emotions got out of control, the ordinary soldiers at the bottom also knew that the main force was retreating.

This is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest. As soon as the soldiers at the bottom got the news, they immediately lost their fighting spirit. That's really nothing at all.

"Captain, run away."

the soldiers urged.

"Did you escape? We have already penetrated into the formation of the Chinese army. I think we should surrender."

Others offered their views.

Now that the main force has abandoned them, in this case, they can freely propose surrender without worrying about the punishment of those superiors.

Even many officers are inclined to surrender in their hearts.

The feeling of being abandoned is very uncomfortable, and they don't want to serve the Zheng family anymore.

"Come down, who made them abandon us."

said the captain.

Some Ming troops chose to surrender, while others wanted to escape while others were still fighting, not knowing what was going on.

However, these people who were fighting gradually found that their side was at a disadvantage, the surrounding friendly forces were getting fewer and fewer, and the support was delayed.

When they came back to their senses, they found that a large number of friendly troops were surrendering, and the main force had long since disappeared.

It was only at this time that they suddenly realized, and then hurriedly threw away their weapons.

For a time, this originally extremely fierce battle area quickly became calm.

While Dahua's navy was wiping out these remnant enemies, other ships rushed towards Chen Da's rear-breaking troops, wanting to take the opportunity to entangle more enemies and expand the results of the battle.

At this time, the Ming army has no fighting spirit, just a good time to harvest.

The hard battles ahead are for this moment.

The main force of the navy was entangled with the rear-breaking troops of the Ming army, while Bai Bainian's steam fleet passed by Chen Da's troops and did not bother with them at all.

These people can be handed over to Wu Yi in the rear.

They have a more important task, which is to pursue Zheng Zhihu and strive for greater results.

At present, Zheng Zhihu's losses are not particularly heavy. He fought head-to-head with the Chinese army and was trapped in about 60 large ships and more than 100 small ships, with a total strength of about 15,000.

Zheng Caibu, who was in charge of attacking the steam fleet, lost about 5,000 people, and the remaining 5,000 people fled.

There are more than 15,000 people, more than 40 large ships, and nearly 100 small boats left behind.

Zheng Zhihu took away about a hundred main ships and more than two hundred other small ships, with a force of about 30,000.

This sea power is still not to be underestimated, and it is best to destroy it.

Being thrown away by the steamship team, Chen Da didn't have much to do. The sea was vast, and his nearly 100 ships were inconspicuous in the sea, let alone expecting to stop the faster steamships.

Stopping the main force of Huajun's sails is no problem.

Everyone's speed is about the same, and the sailboat can't get around them.

If you rush in directly, it must be a entanglement battle, and the purpose of interception will be achieved.

Of course, just intercepting these sailboats is of little significance, on the contrary, you have put yourself in.

After the two sides were entangled, the Ming army quickly fell into a bitter struggle.

Previously, they were superior in numbers and were unable to defeat the Hua Army, but now, their numbers were already at a disadvantage, and their battle was even more difficult.

Once many ships were flanked by two Chinese naval ships, they would obediently raise their white flags, throw away their weapons, announce their surrender, and wait for their incorporation.

Even the main general has escaped, so what's the point of continuing to fight to the death?

Although Zheng Zhihu gave them a death order before he left, he even threatened with his family's life.

However, compared to their own lives, many of them still tend to choose their own lives.

Moreover, it is also unknown whether Zheng Zhihu dares to really attack their family.

After all, this is too much involved, the family members of tens of thousands of people, the Zheng family is not covering the sky with one hand in Fuzhou, and there is also Emperor Longwu on it.

To do such a tragic thing, Emperor Longwu could not sit idly by.

In short, some generals did not take this threat and warning to heart, and surrendered recklessly.

Even Chen Da himself, after resisting for a while, chose to surrender.

There is really no need to fight any more, and there is no point in fighting more than killing more people.

Although his relationship with the Zheng family is considered subordinate, it is not that loyal.

Before Chen Da surrendered, he also gave orders to other ships to surrender, which was regarded as a gift to Dahua. Relying on this move, he can also enjoy slightly better treatment after surrendering.

The general made a statement, and other people who didn't want to fight again naturally joined the surrendering army very readily.

Next, the Dahua Navy took the prisoners one by one and cleaned up the battlefield to clean up the mess.

For example, simply repairing damaged ships, treating injuries, and salvaging fallen soldiers.

Because a large number of soldiers' bodies fell into the sea, the blood has attracted a large number of sharks.

If these soldiers in the sea are not picked up in time, it is very dangerous.

"It's over, we should go too."

The Dutch businessmen who were watching the show were quite addicted today. It was the first time they had seen such an epic large-scale naval battle.

This kind of knowledge is enough for them to go back and blow for ten days and eight months.

Even if you are old, you can brag about it repeatedly with your grandson.

This life experience is something to be proud of.

"If Dahua's navy fights against the British navy now, who will win?"

On the way to Songjiang, these businessmen started a new topic.

"I think it should be Dahua's navy, their steam fleet has no solution."

West said.

"No, no, the overall strength of the British navy is stronger. It is a nation of sailors. The number of warships is probably at least 2,000, and the artillery of the United Kingdom is no worse than that of Dahua. It is completely capable of fighting a battle."

Another businessman disagreed.

"Hehe, what you don't know is that two years ago, there were still steamships on the land of Dahua. In just two short years, their navy has developed to this point.

Give them a few more years, what is 2,000 warships, the population of Dahua is almost as large as that of the whole of Europe. "

West smiled and said that after watching this naval battle, he has become a 'Hua Fan'.

In order to support Dahua for the title of being more powerful, he did not hesitate to fight with several other businessmen.
