Along the Minjiang River, they defeated the Ming army and Xiangyong who intercepted them, and drove directly to Min'an Town.

Min'an is ten kilometers away from Luoxing Pagoda and more than thirty kilometers away from Fuzhou. From Hou'an below Luoxing Pagoda to Tingtou, there are mountains on both sides of the bank, and the river flows tortuously. The terrain at the gorge in Min'an Town is the most dangerous, and the river is deep and narrow.

, only 600 meters at its narrowest point, it is the choke point guarding the mouth of the Minjiang River. The Ming army set up temporary artillery forts along both sides of the river here, and deployed dozens of cannons to fire to intercept the ascending fleet, and recruited troops from all along the river.

Xiangyong guarded both sides of the strait. Every time the pirates wanted to land and advance, they would be intercepted and killed by the Xiangyong. However, the pirates An, inspired by the idea of ​​not sealing the sword for three days, did not flinch and attacked fiercely regardless of casualties.

Min'an is the gateway to Fuzhou and the main outlet to the sea in Fujian. Once it falls, not only the tens of thousands of merchants and countless goods in Min'an will be reduced to ashes, but Fujian's outlet to the sea will also be closed. For a time, Fuzhou

Shocked. Min'an merchants and people fled one after another, and the situation was chaotic.

However, Zheng Zhilong had already led his army and then fought with Zhu Cailao's main force outside the mouth of the Minjiang River. Zheng Zhilong was now equipped with dozens of large ships equipped with heavy artillery sponsored by Xiong Wenhuan, which formed an advantage in both quantity and quality. Both sides

In repeated battles at the mouth of the Minjiang River, Zhu Cai Lao suffered repeated defeats. The morale of the army was greatly shaken. In the evening of the next day, as some ships fled the battlefield, Zhu Cai Lao's fleet finally collapsed. Zhu Cai Lao saw that the situation was unstoppable

Clean up, immediately pack up the remaining troops and retreat to Nanri Island, preparing to gather the remaining troops there and regroup.

Zheng Zhilong did not intend to let him go, and immediately launched a pursuit. Under Zheng Zhilong's pursuit, Zhu Cai's old troops were defeated all the way, and the ships were either lost or captured. The ships that had retreated to Nanri Island were no longer alive. No matter who.

Everyone can see clearly that Zhu Cailao will be destroyed in a matter of days.

Fleeing all the way from Min'an, ranging from large "units" to small "only", ships continued to leave the fleet in chaos, or found another way to live, or simply surrendered. Zheng Zhilong, the winner - this is the difference between the maritime groups.

It is not uncommon for this kind of alliance to expand rapidly when the wind is going smoothly, but once it suffers a defeat and the situation goes bad, it will immediately fall apart.

Under such a situation, Zhu Cai Lao led the remaining more than a hundred boats to retreat to the sea of ​​Nanri Island.

These ships were smoking, some masts had been broken, and some sails had arrows stuck in them, leaving traces of lead bullets. The hulls were scarred, with holes and blood stains everywhere. These ships looked so nervous,

They were so panicked that they completely lost their normal formation and just scrambled to escape for their lives.

The pirates on the ship fought hard for days and were frightened by the huge rout. Most of them allowed themselves to be tossed by the waves and remained silent. Their frightened eyes searched the distant ocean from time to time.

But the news of their defeat had reached Nanri Island one step ahead of them - it turned out that since the morning of the battle, ships had been escaping back to Nanri Island. By the time the entire army began to retreat from Min'an, the leaders with sharp eyesight and quick skills had

They had already rushed back to Nanri to transfer their family and property. Some even started to rob the grain platform and the old camp. The soldiers of Zhu Cai Lao in the old camp resisted to the death and saved the camp.

More and more ships began to pull anchor and flee. The relatives of Zhu Cai Lao and the "units" of the same clan still held the idea that they might be able to clean up the mess and make a comeback. They organized the troops and ships and waited for the retreat of the army in the chaos.

Lin Baiguang was still trapped in the old camp at this time. He originally thought that when someone besieged the old camp, he would take advantage of the chaos to escape. Unexpectedly, the sound of gunfire and gunfire outside gradually subsided. He asked for news again and said that the old camp and

The grain platforms were all guarded.

Now he had become an ant on the hot pot. From his daily life and the mouths of familiar soldiers, Lin Baiguang knew that many people had escaped by boat. He couldn't help but feel worried - the only ones who escaped now were people who were not directly related to him.

The more he travels, the only ones left are his hardcore cronies. How can he win over them? Moreover, there is no news about the few little bosses he has been socializing with these days. He doesn't know that he went to Min'an with Zhu Cai Lao to fight.

After losing the battle, he still stayed in Nanri. He had no idea whether they were dead or alive, whether they had fled or were still on the island.

Lin Baiguang knew that the longer he stayed in the old camp, the more unfavorable the situation would become. Once those leaders ran away or died in battle, his attempt to control the fleet would be completely in vain. And as soon as Zhu Cai Lao came back, Nanri Island
Chapter completed!
