At noon, the chefs on the southeast ship, who had helped with guns or ammunition, were finally able to return to their jobs, and they went to take out biscuits, jerky, dried fruits, jams and other food, and made rum and distributed it to the soldiers.

Some of the chefs on the warship were killed or wounded, so the chief of affairs had to do the job.

Everyone chewed the food in their mouths and fought fiercely.

No one dares to complain, no one dares to fear the war, first, there is no place to hide, and secondly, the military judge monitors the course of the battle like a falcon, from the captain to the small soldier, if there is a bad behavior for the military judge to see, the military law will be engaged in the worst case, and the light will be written down, not a joke!

What left everyone speechless was that their commander, Yan Changwu, always fought with them, fighting on the open-air deck where artillery fire was flying and bullets were fired, and sometimes going to the gun deck to boost morale (but to his young deputy captain Wang Renhai "drive away", the gun deck was too dangerous).

The battle that day was quite fierce, and there were many dead and wounded in front of him, and their blood soaked his uniform, making him dim!

So he turned back to the cabin and changed into a new military uniform, which was still so dazzling, everyone was worried about his safety, but Yan Dashao said: "My soldiers like to see me glamorous!" ”

It was really morale-encouraging, he was like a "blooming peacock" (Mr. David's taunt) on the open deck, and everyone could see it clearly, understand that their commander was with them, and that their commander never gave up on them.

Fight! Fight!

Although we are at a disadvantage, the enemy who has the upper hand is crying, scolding, and screaming!

Persistence is victory, everyone's eyes are round.

The foot of the flag turned, the wind changed, and it became the Southeast Fleet to have the upper hand, which was like divine help!

"Mazu bless!" At that moment, the cheers of the Southeast Army resounded in the sky!

Storm, a foreigner who came to China to help the war, shouted even more: "Mazu Niangniang killed God!" ”

Everyone shouted after him: "Mazu Niangniang killed God!" ”

The fastest to react was the Black Samurai, who refilled his starboard gun as fast as he could, and then fired wildly!

The battleship with 70 guns was tall and the heavy guns were strong, and the smoke of the first salvo was not dispersed, and the second salvo came one after another, only to see the shells whistling, and in an instant, the Dutch battleship fighting against him, the "Great Windmill" with 56 guns, was shot on the port side, and was hit by heavy artillery shells to the bulwark, and a crack went straight to the waterline, causing the sea water to pour into the cabin and quickly tilt to the left.

The third round of salvo fire came again, and batches of disarmed shells whistled out, and in an instant, they burst like a hundred lightning and thousands of thunders, making a shocking loud sound.

Hit the Great Windmill, and in the rain of sawdust bullets, people and bulwarks were blown up beyond recognition in an instant, wreckage was all over the ship, and sailors and gunners suffered heavy casualties!

The Black Knight's battleship was crazy and fired four salvos in five minutes!

The other southeastern ships poured their fury on the shells, pouring them on the enemy.

The cannonballs lifted up a huge column of water and poured it on the smoking ship, and there was a double heaven of water and fire, spraying the sailors with water all over their bodies and trembling.

The Dutch ship was constantly shot, and the port and left aft bars and aft deck were scarred and in shambles, and thick smoke and fire rose everywhere.

More than 1,600 cannons of the Southeast Fleet roared, mostly salvos, and the fierce cannon sound made many people deaf to the ears after the war!

The volley of shells made it difficult for the Dutch to greet them, let alone fight back, and the ships were noisy with all kinds of accents, and they cursed and roared.

The panicked Dutch did not give up either, and fired chain shells from their guns into the sky, trying to hit the sails of the opposing side.

To their surprise, the losses inflicted on their gun decks by the South-East were far greater than the losses they inflicted on the gun decks of the Southeast-South Ships, in other words, the number of Dutch casualties rose like a drag racing car, so that the absence of gunners did not cause much damage to the sail masts of the South-East Fleet, but the South-East Fleet's "smashing the wall" work was very effective.

……

It had only been half an hour since he turned to the upper hand, and Storm, who commanded the rear army, ordered his flagship "Nanhai 8" to eat the wind in a southeasterly direction, and brazenly slaughtered into the battle line of the Dutch fleet!

The upper sail was opened, the foremast, mainsail and mainmast sail were full of wind, and the battleship started, faster and faster, and the southeastern warships behind followed.

"Nanhai 8" galloped, it broke through the battle line of the Dutch!

Then march south-southeast and flank the Dutch Chinese army with your own Chinese army!

Shelling from both sides, the Dutch were overwhelmed. Their starboard side was no longer equipped with enough gunners due to heavy gunner casualties, and they were in a dilemma where they could not fight back after being beaten alone.

The "Nanhai No. 8" found a large Dutch ship with 54 guns "Sea Star", broke the opponent's mast and inflicted heavy damage, causing the ship to be full of holes and collapses, and it was a mess, and the stump legs and broken arms of the sailors on the "Sea Star" could be seen everywhere, and even brains were smeared on the walls of the ship and the shells that had not had time to fire.

The rest of the southeastern gunboats bombarded the Dutch battleships in a frenzy, but the Dutch still resisted stubbornly, red fire and white smoke erupted violently from each gun, and the battle scene was quite spectacular, reaching the apex of the war!

Smoke of gunfire filled, visibility waned, everyone's battle lines were disorganized, and the two sides were entangled in each other, constantly shelling each other.

The Dutch ship "St. George" struck the "Nanhai 13" commanded by Hong Xiguan, the star captain of the Southeast Fleet.

The earth-shattering sound of the salvo, the hull of the "St. George" shook greatly, and the personnel on the ship were frightened one by one, because the vibration was too violent, the battleship tilted sharply, and the people on the gun deck were all crowded together, and a gun without the restraint of the bolt rope slipped down, like an iron car encountered by Gao Pet, and rushed by, six gunners broke their hands and feet, fell to the ground and groaned!

The southeastern gunners fell into a state of excitement, poured out all their firepower, and fired their guns desperately, their hands and feet were as fast as death, the fastest minute, the slowest two minutes, the shells they fired were as dense as hailstones, and there was a white fog in the sky, and they couldn't see each other at a distance of 100 meters.

This is an exciting time, the Southeast Fleet is fighting vigorously, and it is full of energy!

The enemy is iron, we are steel, and as long as we are brave, there is no enemy tenacity.

Whether it was artillery fire or the will to fight, the Southeast Fleet completely overwhelmed the Dutch fleet, and behold, the results were amazing, one by one the Dutch battleships emitted black smoke and swirled in the sea (no one to control them), what worried the Dutch upper echelons finally happened, the multinational combined fleet lacked a tenacious fighting spirit, and in the case of unbearable strength, the two British battleships participating in the battle took the lead in escaping, they hung up the British flag (previously the Dutch flag) and broke away from the group, and sailed away to the west without looking back.

There are one and two, the Swedish battleship "Carl Vinson" fled, the Spanish battleship "Porto" fled, and the Dutch "Marquis Brandenburg" opened the first line for Dutch battleships to escape, and the rest of the Dutch battleships also fled, and their morale completely stopped.

More Dutch warships were in the embarrassment of not being able to escape, and they could not fight.
