Chapter 424: Pick up the pieces

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

This group of people has been abandoned by Zheng Zhihu.

These Ming forces, who were still in a fierce battle with the Chinese army, did not even see the orders of the main ship.

After all, they need to observe the situation in the battle and don't have time to stare at the main ship all the time.

However, from time to time, they still look at it occasionally to see if there are any new commands.

It doesn't matter if you don't turn your head back, it's simply ruining three views.

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

They didn't know why the large troops had to withdraw.

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

The main force has been withdrawn, and it doesn't make any sense for them to stay here.

It is impossible to defeat the main force of the Chinese Army just by relying on these people as their forwards.

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

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

After discovering that they had been abandoned, a large number of Ming army generals began to swear.

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

This time, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the soldiers at the bottom layer immediately lost their intent to fight as soon as they got the news. That's really nothing left.

"Captain, run away."

The soldiers urged.

"Did you escape? We have gone deep into the Chinese army. I think we should surrender."

Others put forward their opinions.

Now it is the main force that has abandoned them. In this case, it is possible to put forward surrender suggestions without worrying about the punishment of those chiefs.

Even many officers are inclined to surrender in their hearts.

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

"Come on, who told them to abandon us."

Said the captain.

Some Ming troops chose to surrender, some wanted to escape from the chaos, and some even didn't know what happened and were still fighting.

However, these people who were fighting slowly discovered that their side was at a disadvantage, the surrounding friendly forces were getting less and less, and the support was delayed.

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

It wasn't until this time that they suddenly realized, and then quickly threw away their weapons.

For a while, this originally extremely fierce combat area quickly became calm.

Dahua's navy was pursuing these remnant enemies while some other ships rushed towards Chen Da's severed troops, trying to seize the opportunity to entangle more enemies and expand the results of the battle.

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

The previous hard fight was for this moment.

The main force of the navy was entangled with the troops of the Ming army, while Bai Bainian's steam fleet passed by Chen Da's troops, not entangled 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. In a head-on battle with the Chinese army, he is trapped in more than 60 large ships and more than 100 small boats, with a total strength of about 15,000.

Zheng Cai, who was in charge of attacking the steam fleet, lost about 5,000 people, leaving 5,000 people to escape.

There are more than 15,000 people, more than 40 big boats, and nearly a hundred small boats left behind Chen Da's department responsible for the post-breakup.

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

This sea power still cannot be underestimated, it is the best that can be defeated.

Being thrown away by the steam fleet, Chen Da didn't have much to do. The sea was so vast that he had nearly a hundred boats in the sea that was not obvious at all, let alone stop the faster steamship.

Stopping the main sailing force of the Chinese Army, this is no problem.

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

If he rushed in directly, it would definitely be an entanglement battle, and he would achieve the purpose of interception.

Of course, it doesn't make much sense to intercept these sailboats alone, but to get yourself in.

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

Before they were superior in numbers, they were unable to defeat the Chinese army, but now their numbers are at a disadvantage, and their battles are even more difficult.

Once many ships are flanked by two Chinese naval ships, they will obediently raise the white flag, throw away their weapons, announce their surrender, and wait for their reorganization.

Even if the main general has fled, what is the point of continuing to fight to death?

Although Zheng Zhihu gave them a death order before leaving, he even threatened the lives of his family.

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

Moreover, whether Zheng Zhihu dare to actually attack their family members is still unknown.

After all, this involves too much, the family of tens of thousands of people, the Zheng family in Fuzhou does not cover the sky with one hand, there is also Emperor Long Wu on it.

It is impossible for Emperor Longwu to sit idly by doing such a tragic thing.

In short, some generals did not take this threat warning too seriously and surrendered unscrupulously.

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

There is really no need to fight anymore, and it doesn't make any sense except to kill more people.

The relationship between him and the Zheng family, although considered subordinate, is just as loyal to those who have not seen it.

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 a little better treatment after surrendering.

The general made a speech, and other people who didn't want to fight anymore naturally joined the surrender army very readily.

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

For example, simple repairs to damaged ships, treatment of injuries and illnesses, and salvage of fallen soldiers.

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

These soldiers in the sea are very dangerous if they don't catch them in time.

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

The Dutch businessmen who watched the theater were addicted today, and they had seen this epic large-scale naval battle for the first time.

This kind of experience 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 kind of life experience is something to be proud of.

"If Dahua's navy fights a battle with 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 all sailors. The number of warships may be at least 2,000, and the British artillery is no worse than Dahua's, so it can be a battle."

Another businessman held an objection.

"Hehe, what you are afraid of not knowing is that two years ago, Dahua had steamships on this land. In these short two years, their navy has developed to this point.

Give them a few more years. What is 2,000 warships? The population on this land of Dahua is almost the same as that of the whole of Europe. "

West laughed and said, after watching this naval battle, he has become a ‘Chinese fan’.

In order to give the supporter of Dahua even stronger for the title, he did not hesitate to compete with several other businessmen with a red face.
