Qu Shawei then came to Chongzhen with a grimace, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, your loyal servant Qu Shawei is waiting for your call at any time."

"Thank you for your loyalty." Chongzhen smiled, then pointed to the battlefield to the east of Yunlong Mountain and said, "Take the artillery team of the Shizi Battalion to help the battle and use our Ming Dynasty's Hongyi cannon to destroy these forts one by one!"

"As ordered." Qu Sha waved her hand slightly and hurried down the mountain with Xia Wanchun.

When Chongzhen looked back, he saw that the naval warship had fired its cannon at the pontoon bridge on the river.

Zheng Hongkui faithfully implemented Chongzhen's combat intentions and did not blindly launch an artillery battle with the Jiannu forts on the east and west banks. Instead, he concentrated his firepower and prioritized destroying the five pontoon bridges on the river.

At this time, the naval warship was only fifty steps away from the first pontoon bridge.

Along with the red light blooming one after another, water columns rose into the sky one after another.

From time to time, shells hit the fishing boats that serve as pontoon piers. If they hit the bow of the boat, the bow will instantly shatter. If they hit the stern, the stern will instantly shatter. If they hit the middle of the hull, the entire fishing boat will immediately break into two pieces.

The beacon tower built on the fishing boat was also capsized, and the fire quickly spread to the hull.

After a while, at least thirty fishing boats began to catch fire, and more than a dozen fishing boats sank to the bottom of the river. The entire pontoon bridge was quickly broken into several sections, and the slaves on the bridge also fell into the water one after another.

But the Ming Navy also paid a heavy price for this.

Because when the navy fired its guns, it also exposed its position.
