Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 737 Sino-Dutch naval battle (5)

Van Persie's captain, Vast, also has the arrogance and arrogance of the Dutch colonists. He led a fleet of nearly 3000 Dutch troops and 500 warships to rush towards Kinmen Island.

It happened that Zheng Chenggong led the fleet to take the initiative to attack.After the two sides encountered Zheng Chenggong's fleet in the southern waters of Kinmen Island, there was a fierce and peaceful artillery fire. Twast clearly saw through the binoculars that a large number of Ming army ships were destroyed and sunk. He smiled proudly , Ming warships were really vulnerable.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the Ming fleet has been driven away by us!" After a fierce battle between the two sides for a period of time, a Dutch army will report to him.

"Follow them with all their strength, sink them with concentrated artillery fire, and take down the big and small golden gates in one fell swoop!" Gast yelled arrogantly.

In this bombardment, his fleet was indeed not seriously damaged, only dozens of ships were destroyed and sunk. For a large fleet of 500 ships, this casualty is simply negligible.

Now his fleet formed a fan shape and advanced forward, and after a few hundred meters, suddenly they found watermelon-sized things appearing and disappearing from time to time on the sea in front of them.

"There are people in the water!" Finally, a sharp-eyed Dutch soldier called out.

"Fire!" Captain Vaster gave an order while holding the binoculars, and the Dutch soldiers on the ship fired their guns like popping beans. spray.

These watermelon-like heads quickly disappeared on the surface of the sea.

The cunning Gast looked through the binoculars and saw that there was no blood on the water, so he ordered the cannons on the ship to adjust the range and bombard the waters fiercely.

At this moment, a Dutch soldier called out, "Your Excellency, Captain, the Ming fleet is approaching from the port side!"

Gast looked back, and through the binoculars, he saw a fleet on the left side, heading towards them.He counted a total of ten ships.

"Target this fleet, open fire, and sink them all!" Wast dismissed it, hundreds of Ming warships were beaten and fled under his artillery fire, let alone ten?

Therefore, the captain spoke lightly, with extreme contempt and contempt in his words.

Now, the order to lower the artillery to bombard this water area is invalid, and all the artillery on the ships aimed at the coming ship and fired together.

The fleet that came was of course led by Liu Guoxuan. He did not come here to attack the enemy, but to confuse the enemy and cover Li Quan and his death squad that swam over.

At this time, the artillery of the Dutch fleet rang, and Liu Guoxuan quickly ordered the fleet to stop attacking, turn around and retreat, and spread out.

Looking through the binoculars like this, what these Dutch red-haired men saw was that when their cannon fired, Liu Guoxuan's fleet fled in embarrassment, like a frightened bird.

Gast couldn't help laughing triumphantly, and the other red-haired thieves on the ship also laughed along with him, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

But not long after the guns on the Dutch ship stopped firing, Liu Guoxuan drove over again with several ships, and when the Dutch cannon fired, they dispersed like birds and beasts.

Wast could see that Liu Guoxuan was teasing them, ordering the artillery on the ship not to fire easily, so as not to waste ammunition, and to fire when they were close enough, so that they couldn't even run away.

But Liu Guoxuan was not easily fooled, he just hovered at the edge of the range of their cannons, a hundred and ten meters away.

"Don't pay attention to them!" Gast thought that Liu Guoxuan was trying to lure him to deliberately fire the cannon, and Gast, who thought he was smart and had seen through the opponent's strategy, sneered at this kind of behavior.

They said they didn't care, but in fact they were still paying attention to Liu Guoxuan's ships, that is to say, Liu Guoxuan's actions had already attracted the attention of these red-haired boys.

At this time, Li Quan and his death squad had already swam tens of meters away from the Dutch fleet. When the people on board were not paying attention, they bit their ears.Then a group of ten people, a group of ten people, got into the water and swam towards different targets.

When they came out of the water again, a hundred death squads had come into contact with several Dutch warships. The Dutch warships were relatively tall, and as the saying goes, it was dark under the lights. , As for the water under their eyelids, they can't see it at all, and they won't pay attention to it.They never dreamed that the danger had come quietly.

There was a splash on the surface of the water, and a water column shot up into the sky. Of course, there was a person in the middle of the water column. A kite turned over and landed on a large Dutch ship.

Before the Dutch warships figured out what was going on, Li Quan wiped the water on his face, and the knife in his hand spun along with his body. Two Dutch soldiers screamed, and their bodies had been split into two.

"Someone is boarding the ship, hurry up!" Two Dutch soldiers clamored and aimed their guns at Li Quan.

Li Quan rolled on the deck and came up to them. The ghost-headed knife in his hand swept across. One Dutch soldier's stomach was cut open and his intestines came out. Another Dutch soldier's leg was cut. Sweep off abruptly.

The two Dutch soldiers screamed and threw their muskets into the sea.

This ship is not an ordinary Dutch warship. This is the command ship for this battle, which is the ship where Captain Vast is on.The ship has a huge body, well-equipped firepower, and the largest number of Dutch soldiers on board, including more than 100 sailors.

To capture the thief and capture the king, Li Quan aimed at this ship first.

In the blink of an eye, Li Quan knocked down the Dutch soldiers on five ships, and the other soldiers clamored to surround them.In this kind of close combat, the Dutch's muskets are not easy to use, and they are not as fast as the knife in Li Quan's hand.

While Li Quan was fighting with them, another ten sailors boarded the ship one after another and fought side by side with Li Quan.

Now, their muskets were completely useless.Hand-to-hand combat relies on martial arts.In this regard, the Dutch are incomparable to the Ming people. The people led by Li Quan are well-trained and all of them have extraordinary skills. They are not only good in the water, but also brave in fighting on the shore.

In addition, Li Quan rushed up a total of eleven people, but killed hundreds of famous Dutch generals on this large ship. The Dutch soldiers were overwhelmed and became slaughtered lambs.The dead bodies of the Dutch were everywhere on the ship, and many were chopped into the sea, and the sea was stained red with blood.

"Drive them down and destroy them for me!" Captain Gast yelled frantically, but no matter how he yelled, his people could only be slaughtered now.

At the same time, the nine nearby Dutch warships were also attacked by the death squads of the Ming army, and the ten large ships became a mess.

Liu Guoxuan, who was several miles away, was circling the enemy with ten warships. At this time, he could see clearly through the binoculars. He was waiting for this opportunity, so his opponent shouted: "Speed ​​up and charge me!" past!"
