Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 734 Sino-Dutch naval battle (2) (two more)

"General, the firepower of the red-haired bandits is too fierce, and our naval warships have suffered heavy losses..." When the two sides were fighting fiercely on the sea for more than an hour, the soldiers came to report to Shi Lang.

Shi Lang put down the single-tube telescope in his hand, and discussed with Yao Qisheng, so recklessly, I'm afraid it's not the way, if you want to defeat these red-haired thieves, you must pay attention to some strategies.

Now the distance between the fleets of the two sides is only two or three miles, and the distance between the two fleets is only a hundred meters, or even tens of meters. Breaking through their artillery defense, and their muskets are also very powerful. Finally, Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng decided to release the boat and use Wolves dealt with them tactically.

Under the deployment of Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng, the naval ships of the Ming army began to retreat.

"Your Excellency, the Ming army navy was defeated by our fleet and is fleeing."

Hearing such a report, Van Persie held up his binoculars, his face full of complacency, and sneered, "See where they can escape, and tell Weiss to pursue them at full speed, and they must be wiped out!"

……

During the retreat of the Ming Army navy fleet, several small boats were lowered from the big ship.Each of these small warships had 10 to 20 sailors of the Ming Army. The big ship retreated, and nearly a thousand small warships densely covered the sea, rushing towards the Dutch warship.

It is still He Jinwu, the deputy commander of the Navy, who is on the front line commanding the small warships to implement wolf pack tactics.He was injured in the Quanzhou Bay naval battle.He was shot on the arm, originally it was Shi Lang and Yao Qisheng who planned to let him recuperate in the camp and not let him participate in the battle.

But He Jinwu disagreed, saying that he had a slight injury to his flesh and there was no serious problem, and he insisted on participating in this sea battle.

The small warships are brisk and have a clear division of labor. More than a dozen small ships besiege a large Dutch ship.

Although the Dutch warships had fierce firepower, they could not cover the entire sea.These small warships penetrate every hole, taking advantage of the loopholes of their artillery fire.Although the Dutch warships are large, there are few Dutch soldiers on them, so they quickly lose sight of one another.

When a large Dutch warship overturned 2 to 3 small warships of the Ming army, it was surrounded by the remaining small warships. The distance was too close, and the cannon lost its advantage.The guns on the ship were limited, so it was time for the Ming army to deal with them.

"Fire arrows!" The archers on the small boat aimed at the red-haired man on the Dutch warship and fired random arrows.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, the soldiers of the Ming army boarded the Dutch ship from a small boat, and the two sides began hand-to-hand combat.

The Dutch army had muskets, but there were many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and they taught martial arts fighting, and they gave them for nothing.Therefore, there is no suspense in the naval battle to this state.

A large Dutch ship was torn apart by several war wolves like a fat pig.Soon one after another of the Dutch warships were settled by several small warships of the Ming army.

Van Persie didn't like it, and shouted: "Fire! Blow them all up!"

"No way, Commander, the enemy's small warships are like sparrows, and our large ship has already been entangled by them. What if we open fire and hurt our ships and soldiers?"

"That has to be fired, or our entire fleet will be eaten by these sparrows!"

Van Persie's move is also very vicious. In order to deal with the wolf pack tactics of the Ming army, because the large and small ships of the two sides are mixed together, many large Dutch ships have been controlled by the Ming army. On some ships, the two sides are still fighting desperately. The only choice is to lose the pawns to protect the handsome, and he will not hesitate to use his own ships and soldiers.

Under the guidance of his spirit, the Dutch warships behind, whether they belonged to the small warships of the Ming army or the large Dutch warships trapped, entangled, and restrained by the Ming army in front, fired fiercely across the board.

Amidst the dense sound of gunfire, several small warships of the famous army were overturned and destroyed, and many large Dutch ships were hit and sunk.

The Dutch soldiers on these ships were still fighting the Ming army, but they didn't expect their own people to beat up their own people. Under the astonished and inconceivable eyes, and the yelling and cursing from their ancestors, these Dutch red-haired boys were smashed to pieces, and some fell into the sea. The sharks were fed, and some sank with the ship.

At this time, a shell landed in the waters next to a medium-sized Ming warship, and with a bang, waves splashed several feet high. The warship was capsized. overboard.

Among the more than 80 people, there is He Jinwu, the deputy commander in chief who is commanding the battle.

However, more than 80 people like He Jinwu are the elites of the navy, and being in the water is almost like being at home, especially He Jinwu, his greatest ability is similar to that of He Zhaoxiong and his daughter, and he is also in the water.He won the true biography of the Iron Arm Canglong He Zhaoxiong, otherwise he would not have been the head of He Zhaoxiong's bodyguards on the Green Willow Mountain.

So when he was in the sea, regardless of the injury in one arm, he stepped on the water with both feet and floated to the surface, and swam to a large Dutch ship not far away.

This big ship is not an ordinary warship, He Jinwu can tell it at a glance, it is a command ship of thieves, and there are many cowards on board.

However, He Jinwu was not the only one fighting in the water at this time, and there were 30 to [-] people who followed him.

But the Dutch soldiers on this big Dutch ship are not blind. Their captain Weiss, like Troy, who has died, is a capable officer of Commander Van Persie, and the soldiers on board are not idiots. Someone approached, yelled and shot at them.

"Papa papa," the musket hit the surface of the water.

He Jinwu plunged into the water, and the dozens of Ming soldiers who followed him also disappeared on the water.

When the Dutch soldiers on the Dutch ship were staring at the water, there was a crash on the sea, like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate. Under the astonished eyes of the Dutch red-haired man, He Jinwu capsized on the big ship.

The Dutch warships panicked and raised their guns to aim at the siege.He Jinwu waved the ghost knife in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, several Dutch red-haired boys had already fallen into a pool of blood.

At this time, dozens of soldiers of the Ming army boarded the command ship, and the muskets were basically useless, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand on this large ship.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the last red-haired thief on board, even the captain of the command ship, Weiss, jumped into the sea...

He Jinwu and more than 20 people took control of the Dutch warship. He ordered his men to immediately turn the guns and fire at the Dutch fleet...

The Dutch fleet that rushed ahead quickly fell into chaos due to the loss of specific command. It was sunk by the artillery fire of the Ming army, controlled by the wolf pack tactics of the Ming army, and sunk by the Dutch own artillery fire. These three parts plus one, the Netherlands More than 200 warships no longer belong to them.

At this moment, someone on Van Persie's command ship came to report to him again: "Your Excellency, the forward of our fleet was blocked, Captain Weiss committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and our army was severely damaged..."

Listening to such returns, through the telescope, Commander Fan had a premonition that the situation on the battlefield was changing against them...
