The Sun Never Sets Great China

Seeing the large amount of artillery shells from the Netherlands pouring into Hai Dafu's fleet and causing heavy losses, "***! Fortunately, I was forced to come from the bow of Yangyi's ship. Otherwise, I would definitely be with Hai Dafu. The small boats under General Dafu’s command ended the same way! This time our losses were huge. The wars before and after destroyed most of the small and medium-sized boats we captured from the Qing army, the Zheng family, and Nanming. This time the loss was really heavy.” Hao Looking at the small wooden warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that were gradually sinking, Junjie said with some lingering fear.At this point, the Dutch warships that had sailed downstream sailed back upstream to rescue their flagships.

The Haidafu fleet had just recovered from the first salvo of the enemy's flagship, but it was beaten up by the gunfire of those Dutch frigates, if it weren't for the large and medium models in his fleet His warships are all covered with iron armor. I am afraid that his fleet will be blasted to pieces by the fierce artillery fire from the Dutch warship.

Looking at the bumps on the iron skin of the ship and a deep hole on the deck shot by the shells, Hai Dafu ordered his soldiers to carry several injured sailors down to the cabin for treatment, and then he swung his waist knife, He shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers! We must not retreat! We must cover General Hao Junjie and rely on help!" He pointed his waist knife to the starboard side and said, "Let's turn now and force those foreign warships that have returned to the upstream. Go back and stop them approaching General Hao Junjie's fleet!"

Hai Dafu's ship slowly turned its bow, and led his fleet to sail downstream, gradually approaching the Dutch warships that came to rescue the Dutch flagship, and quickly approached them, and another hand-to-hand fight followed. Expand.

When Hai Dafu's fleet was entangled with the Dutch warships that came to protect the "Sea Monarch", Hao Junjie's ship had already collided heavily with Marton Tropp's flagship "Sea Monarch". .

With a "bang", Hao Junjie staggered and almost fell on the deck. Before he could think about it, he immediately straightened up, drew out his waist knife, and shouted: "Brothers, fuck you!" He took the lead and ran to the bow, and was the first to throw the grapple on the bow of the tall Dutch warship, and then pulled hard, and the grapple tightly grasped the board of the Dutch warship.Hao Junjie bit the waist knife in his mouth, grabbed the rope of the grapple hook with both hands and climbed up.

With a "duh", he fell back to the deck with the rope, and before he could stand up, there was a burst of "bang bang bang", and the sailors around Hao Junjie fell down. "Well done! Boys!" Marton Tropp swung his sword happily and said, "Keep firing! Not one enemy is allowed to board our 'Sovereign of the Sea'! Beat them all back!" Lieutenant Marton Tropp turned around and grabbed Marton Tropp by the shoulder, then knocked him down on the deck.

"Swish, whoosh," just as Marton Tropp fell down, he clearly heard the roar of bullets piercing the air from above his head.Marton Tropp was dragged up by the adjutant in embarrassment. Before he could speak, the adjutant pointed to the starboard side and said, "Admiral, look, there are several enemy ships going around that ship and heading towards our starboard side." Lean over here!"

Marton Tropp looked to the starboard side, and sure enough, he saw two ships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army approaching the starboard side of the "Sea Monarch", and a dozen grappling hooks had already been thrown onto the deck of the "Sea Monarch" , although the sailors swung their swords desperately to cut off those grapple hooks, but every time a grapple rope was cut off, more grapple hooks would be thrown over by those Chinese Revolutionary Army sailors, and even a few The grapple hooked several sailors, hooking them firmly to the side of the ship, unable to move.

The adjutant swung the slender sword in his hand and cut off the grapple on a sailor. Just as he turned around to look for Admiral Marton Tropp, he suddenly found in horror that the port side of the "Sea Monarch" was also Two warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army leaned over. Obviously, they sailed over the sandbar by taking advantage of their shallow draft. "Bang bang bang" the sailors on the Chinese Revolutionary Army warship approaching from the port side unceremoniously rewarded the Dutch warship with a rain of bullets, killing more than a dozen sailors crowded together on the deck. "Fire!" The gunner on the second deck of the "Sea Monarch" gave an order. "Boom", dozens of shells flew out of the muzzle and hit the warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that were no more than ten feet away from the muzzle, leaving some dimples, large and small, on the iron-clad hulls of those warships. Some hit the deck of the Chinese Revolutionary Army warship, piercing a hole in the deck. "Keep firing!" Marton Tropp ordered hastily.

"Boom" and "Boom", the port side guns on the first and third decks of the "Sea Monarch" also fired salvos at the approaching Chinese Revolutionary Army warships. Before the sound of the port side guns subsided, There was another burst of gunfire from the starboard side of the "Sovereign of the Sea". It was the starboard cannon reloading its ammunition and firing a second volley at the warship of the Chinese Revolutionary Army approaching from the starboard side.

However, at such a short distance, although the bombardment of the Dutch warships killed some sailors on the Chinese Revolutionary Army warships, those Chinese warships did not sink immediately. leaned against the tall ship of the "Sovereign of the Sea".While the warship was still floating on the water, Hao Junjie yelled: "Blow the horn! Order all the ships to rush over and surround the enemy's flagship!" The horn sounded, and dozens of warships under Hao Junjie surrounded the "Sea Monarch".

When Hao Junjie's fleet was clashing with the upstream Dutch battle fleet, the forward fleet led by Shi Lang had already approached those Dutch transport fleets. The ships of both sides quickly joined together, and the downstream battle officially started.

According to Marton Tropp's arrangement, there are a total of 35 warships responsible for protecting the Dutch transport fleet, and their commander is Kuiichi.At this moment, Kuiyi no longer has the prestige of annihilating the fleet composed of two ships, big cats, big cats and small cats, when he saw Shi Lang's warship break through the blockade of the Dutch battleship and lead hundreds of warships When rushing towards him, he immediately panicked. He looked at his 35 warships, then at the hundreds of transport ships of the East India Company behind him, and then looked back at those ships rushing down from the upper reaches. He suddenly felt that he was going crazy.

Looking at the commander who was stunned there, Kui Yi's adjutant had to kindly remind him: "Commander, our fleet should rush forward to protect the transport fleet."

Kui Yi finally woke up, and he shouted: "Stupid! Isn't that going to kill you if you rush over now? You don't have to look clearly, there are more than 200 ships! Not 35 ships! Although their firepower is not as good as ours The battle fleet is much stronger than our transport fleet! But our battle fleet only has [-] ships!"

The adjutant was scolded by Kui Yi, so he had no choice but to follow the commander's meaning and say: "You are right, then according to your opinion, should we retreat to the downstream?" Kui Yi suddenly stretched out his right hand and slapped He patted his forehead and murmured, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Seeing that his superior was still hesitating, the adjutant had no choice but to remind him again: "Commander, if you don't retreat downstream now, I'm afraid it will be too late when they rush in front of you." After making up his mind, he yelled loudly: "Hang up the flag! All turn back and retreat downstream!"

But his order was too late after all. Although Shi Lang's fleet had to chase after them for a certain distance, but because the speed of the transport fleet was far behind the speed of the battleship, it could not run. Five miles away, the Dutch transport fleet was overtaken by Shi Lang's war fleet.

Looking at the Dutch transport fleet that was gradually being left behind by the side of the ship, Zheng Sen waved his sword and ordered: "Hang up the flag! Order Huanglong to attack those transport ships as agreed, and the other [-] ships follow me Hound those warships and prevent them from coming back to protect those transport ships!"

Nobuzuna Matsudaira looked at the warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army rushing from the upper reaches in disbelief. He suddenly shuddered and said to Mukai beside him: "It seems that the opponents of our army are indeed very brave. Regardless of his own casualties, he just rushed out from the queue of the Dutch battle fleet upstream!"

Mukai is not in the mood to chat with Matsudaira Nobuzuna now, he said: "General, please give an order that all ships retreat downstream immediately. Our transport ships have very few cannons, and we can't fight those warships at all. We must go downstream." Retreat and wait until the Dutch warship upstream comes to support us before we can stop."

The results of the communication with the Dutch made Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Mukai very annoyed. The Dutch captain actually rejected their suggestion to retreat, and his reason was very good: "As the captain of an expedition fleet, I have no right to order To retreat alone, only the supreme commander of the fleet has this right." Just when Mukai and Matsudaira Nobuzuna were sweating profusely, the flag of retreat was finally raised on the flagship of Kuiichi, and the entire transport fleet began to retreat. Turn the bow and head downstream.

But Mukai soon discovered that the speed of his own fleet was half that of the Dutch battle fleet. When many transport fleets were slowly moving behind, Na Kui led the battle fleet further and further From a distance, it seems that Mr. Kuiyi has completely forgotten these poor transport fleets behind him.

"Boom", there was a burst of gunfire, and the first warship of the Chinese Revolutionary Army had caught up with the transport ship that Mukai was on. More than a dozen shells mercilessly flew towards Mukai's ship, and Mukai and Matsudaira Nobutsuna's ears Li could clearly hear the screams in the cabin.

"Fire! Fire! Fight back! Fight back!" the Dutch captain cursed frantically, "Kui Yi, that bastard! If he had ordered the retreat earlier, then we would not have been slaughtered like pigs! This bastard, he is now He actually just ran away by himself and completely left us behind!" "Boom" the deck guns on the Dutch transport ship fired, but they were quickly suppressed under the more intense firepower of the Chinese Revolutionary Army warship fleet. .Mukai shouted to the captain in despair: "Hurry up, give the order! Order all the transport ships to approach the south bank immediately! Unload all the infantry! The Japanese soldiers cannot die in the water!"

Huanglong proudly stood on the bow of the ship, raised a binoculars, and looked at the helpless Dutch transport fleet that had been beaten.After looking at it for a while, he put away the binoculars, and ordered to his soldiers: "The order, the fleet is divided into two teams, one team will follow me to intercept the enemy warships chasing down from the upper reaches, and the other team will continue to attack those transport fleets. I hit hard!"

"Admiral, it's very dangerous here, you'd better leave the 'Sovereign of the Sea' as soon as possible! I will command this ship!" Marton Tropp's adjutant shouted to Marton Tropp hoarsely.

"No, my child, this ship is my life, I can't leave her!" Marton Tropp, who was already very old, said painfully. He looked back downstream and found that the transport fleet had been taken away. The Chinese fleet was surrounded, and the two sides were engaged in a slaughter, or a massacre, and his wrinkled face became paler in disappointment. "Admiral, look quickly, the 'Sea Duke' is coming, hurry up and get on the boat!" Marton Tropp's adjutant pleaded again.

Like the "Sea Monarch", the "Sea Duke" is also the most cutting-edge warship in the Netherlands. She is the sister ship of the "Sea Monarch", which is younger and more effective than the "Sea Monarch". Tropp's affection for the "Sea Monarch" was too deep, so he did not regard the "Sea Duke" as his flagship. Not inferior, so Marton Tropp specially arranged the "Sea Duke" as the leader of the frigate, and went downstream to support the transport fleet.

Marton Tropp obviously didn't think that the "Sea Duke" would defy the order and return to save himself. He looked at the "Sea Duke" that was getting closer, and shouted: "Michelle? Adlinson de Knight, you idiot! If the transport convoy suffers serious damage by coming to rescue me, I'm afraid you and I will be court-martialed! You stubborn idiot! "

Of course Michel Adlinson de Knight would not have heard Marton Tropp swearing, and he was standing on the foredeck at the moment, using the The binoculars looked on the deck of the "Sovereign of the Sea", hoping to see the familiar figures of their teachers, friends and competitors.As the third person in the expedition fleet, he is very aware of the importance of his mission, but he also attaches great importance to the life and death of Marton Tropp. After all, that old guy is the first captain in his sailing career, the first The teacher, of course, is also the first competitor.

When he discovered that the "Sovereign of the Sea" was stranded and surrounded by many warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, he had to re-examine the situation in front of him.On the one hand, the downstream transport fleet needs to be protected, and on the other hand, it is the soul of the entire Dutch battle fleet, the "Sea Monarch" and the safety of Admiral Marton Tropp.He considered again and again, and finally decided to save Marton Tropp first, because the transport fleet had been overtaken by the Chinese Revolutionary Army warship fleet, even if he rushed over, it would not be of much use, but if The death of the old Marton Tropp will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the morale of the entire Dutch fleet. After repeated weighing, he finally led the "Sea Duke" and several other warships back upstream to support Marton Tropp and his vanguard fleet with more than a dozen warships left.

Marton Tropp's adjutant and another sailor dragged Marton Tropp to the side of the ship, ready to put him into the prepared boat, but Marton Tropp stubbornly refused .Adjutant Marton Tropp had no choice but to knock Marton Tropp unconscious with the hilt of his sword when he turned around to go back to the forecastle, then tied him up with a rope and hung him on the boat.

The adjutant ordered the sailors on the small boat to transport Mr. Admiral to the "Sea Duke" immediately, but he raised his sword and rushed back to the front deck, and continued to resist the Chinese sailors flooding onto the deck with the Dutch sailors. .

"***! Where did you learn the sword skills? Why are you jumping around like a monkey? Can't you stand up and fight me well? Stand up! Stand up!" Hao Junjie waved himself Holding the waist knife, he shouted loudly to a young Dutch officer in front of him.

Marton Tropp's adjutant couldn't understand what the big Chinese man in front of him was yelling, and he didn't have the heart to listen. The only thing he could do now was to use all his strength to wield the sword that his grandfather used to use. The most popular swordsmanship in Europe is gesticulating with the big Chinese man in front of him.

Seeing that the man still refused to stop, Hao Junjie became impatient, so he backed up a few steps, then yelled violently, slashed at the man three times, and kicked his right foot out of the way. With a "poof", the man fell on the deck with his sword in hand, and before he could struggle, he was tied tightly by two Hao Junjie's personal soldiers who rushed up.

Hao Junjie smiled triumphantly, and said to the Dutch officer who was bundled like rice dumplings: "See? This is your grandpa Hao Junjie's 'kidnapping leg', inherited from the ancestors, accept it?" He waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to Pushing the Dutch officer down, he raised his head, raised his waist knife at the same time, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, did you see that? Although this Yangyi is taller, he can't beat us either!"

Seeing that Hao Junjie took down the Dutch officer so easily, Hao Junjie's subordinates burst into cheers.At this time, the fighting on the deck was over, only the fighting was still happening in the cabin.Hao Junjie ordered the sailors to get out of the cabin to support others, while he walked to the rudder, stroked the steering wheel with his hands, and looked carefully. The army's shipyards can't make such a good wooden sea ship that is almost the most advanced in the world.

Just when Hao Junjie wanted to study the structure of the steering wheel in depth, a soldier ran over and said: "General, we have captured the entire ship! A total of 97 people have been captured alive."

Hao Junjie nodded. He walked to the bow of the ship and looked towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, only to see that the Dutch transport fleet had already berthed on the south bank of the river, lowered the small boats on board, and unloaded the infantry on board. More than a thousand small boats are braving the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese Revolutionary Army warship fleet, paddling towards the river bank like ants moving house.He shook his head, and ordered the soldiers: "Go and send an order to transfer some of the cannons from this ship to our ship, and see if you can float it as soon as possible so that you can leave this sandbar as soon as possible." Finally, Hao Junjie looked at the south bank of the Yangtze River and murmured, "Why hasn't the deputy commander's army arrived yet?"
