Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 625 Destroying the Dutch Fleet
Li Mingrui is not good at naval battles, but his assistant Liu Guoxuan is a famous naval battle general who has been following Zheng Zhilong and now following Zheng Chenggong in Nanyang for a long time.

Therefore, Liu Guoxuan is the actual commander of the Ming army who is in charge of commanding the Ming ocean fleet against the Dutch sea battle.

When more than [-] warships of the Ming Dynasty Ocean Fleet appeared in Sirix, they met the Dutch fleet led by the famous Dutch general De Knight.

240 Ming warships lined up, and the Dutch fleet also lined up.

Taking advantage of the advantage of waiting for work, the Dutch fleet first opened fire on the west coast of Sirik, and the shells fired by more than 4000 artillery pieces overturned and rushed straight to the battle line of the Ming Fleet.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan immediately commanded all the warships on the left wing of Ming Dynasty to turn around to reduce the possibility of being hit by shells from the Dutch fleet.

Thousands of artillery shells fired by the Dutch fleet capsized towards the left-wing warship of the Guards. Some shells hit the stern or mast of Daming, and some shells smashed the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy into pieces. Come.

The commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet, Denet, laughed happily when he saw this. This was the first time he had led hundreds of warships in such a large-scale naval battle. The area was very satisfied, and even clamored:
"Stupid yellow-haired pig, I will make you come and go!"

boom!
However, Denett was not happy for too long. The artillery of the fleet on the right wing of Ming Dynasty had also fired shells, all of which were 45-jin-class flowering grenades. Aboard a hundred warships of the Dutch fleet.

The wooden sailboats of the Dutch fleet couldn't bear such bombardment at all, and they burst open, and the Dutch officers and soldiers were directly killed or blown out on the spot.

Almost every Dutch warship in the entire Dutch fleet was on fire.

"Continue to bombard me, the left wing turned around again, and headed towards the northeast at high speed to seize the wind." At the same time Liu Guoxuan gave the order, the Daming Cannon fired another round after 1 minute, and the Dutch artillery that was loading ammunition together with the The artillery blasted out again.

"My God, Your Excellency Governor, why does your country's artillery fire so fast, why does it have such a long range, and why is the explosion so powerful? How do your artillery fire from the rear? Why are you no longer round iron? bullets, and pointed copper bullets," the Duke of York of the British Empire asked Li Mingrui in horror.

The observation groups from other Western countries also stared wide-eyed in horror. They had never seen such a powerful artillery.

The Ming's artillery was still firing, because the firing speed was twice as fast as that of the Dutch's artillery, so the Dutch fleet was always under pressure from the Ming's fleet, and the Dutch fleet was sunk sixteen warships in a short time.

"This, this is why, how did they launch so quickly", the Dutch fleet commander De Knight was also very shocked, but he also hurriedly ordered the rest of the Dutch warships to flee north.

The hundred warships on the left wing of the Ming Dynasty had already been waiting here at leisure. When the Dutch warships arrived, the Ming fleet on the left wing immediately capsized with [-] howitzers. The battleship lost power.

But now Dennett has no fighting spirit, and only knows to run desperately with the Dutch battleship.

At this time, the flagship "Kaiping Wang" of the Ming Dynasty had already caught up. It was powered by steam and sail, and it was very fast. The Duke of York of the British Empire and Philip I, the Duke of France, were stunned: "My God, This speed is really unexpected!"

At this time, under the noses of the Duke of York of the British Empire and Philip I of France, the flagship of the Ming Dynasty "Kaiping" was approaching the flagship of the Dutch fleet "Endracht". The sails of the Dutch flagship "Endracht" were all destroyed, and the Dutch flagship "Endracht" lost power and began to spin at sea.

The Duke of York of the British Empire exclaimed: "Your Excellency, what is the principle of artillery firing in your country? You thought of destroying its sails first. It turns out that war can still be played like this!"

Li Mingrui didn't bother to talk to these Western fans, but at this moment he just watched Liu Guoxuan commanding the "Kaiping King" to approach the Dutch fleet flagship "Endracht". Dutch officers and soldiers on the deck of the Lacht.

One by one Dutch officers and soldiers were shot dead on the spot, and the flintlock guns in the hands of these Dutch officers and soldiers had no countermeasures against the Ming Navy at all.

"The muskets of the Empire are so sharp, and they can fire consecutively. My God, how far behind are we from your country?" Philip I, Duke of France, also had to sigh.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan hid most of the Dutch officers and soldiers in the cabin, and ordered the "King of Kaiping" to continue the bombardment. All 120 artillery pieces and 2 rounds of shells capsized within 240 minutes on the powerless Dutch flagship "Endracht". ", the Dutch flagship "Endracht" was blasted open in an instant, and the hull was directly divided into two halves. The screams of countless Dutch officers and soldiers being killed came out, and Dennett also wanted to cry without tears. Swimming desperately in the sea: "What kind of devil did we provoke? Why do we have such powerful firepower!"

The Western observation team on the "Kaiping King" was also terrified at this time, secretly said: "We must never be enemies with such an empire in the future, otherwise it will be the fate of the Netherlands!"

Seeing that the Dutch commander-in-chief Denett was swimming forward desperately, Liu Guoxuan immediately raised a rifled gun and pointed it at Denetter. One shot was fired and another shot was fired, and Denetter was shot in each hand and foot.

"Catch him!"

Then, the Ming Navy dragged Denett up from the sea and threw it in front of the Western Observation Group, Liu Guoxuan and Li Mingrui.

Dennett screamed in pain, but when he saw the officials of Ming Dynasty, he reprimanded loudly: "Why are you so cruel? We have already jumped into the sea, why are you chasing after us! Why are you killing people from our East India Company? No, why do you still want to kill us in our own country!"

"Because you killed our Han people first. If you offend me, Ming Dynasty will pay you back ten times. We will detain him and plan to punish him severely in three days! Observers from all over the world must also participate. Liu Guoxuan is now leading the Vanguard Battalion to pursue the remnants of Holland. Fleet, the rest will go to the port of Hague with this officer to land! Officers and soldiers at all levels are all bayoneted, ready to sacrifice blood to the Han people who died in our Ming Dynasty!"

After Li Mingrui finished speaking, he walked away.
