Commander Lawn's order was unimaginable, and seeing it on the flags waved by the flagship's sailors was inconceivable to many of the Dutch on the Galen.

This order is to tell them to persuade the opposing fleet to surrender!

"Could it be that the sailors are also the first time to see such a large fleet, and like us, they are nervous, so ... Misspelled the flag? ”

One of the first mates put down the monoculars and heard the grumbling of the rest of the crew.

"Is he crazy?"

"We, a dozen ships, are going to persuade a fleet of at least a hundred or so ships to surrender?"

"I think he was carried away by the previous victory!"

The more than 300 Dutch sailors and sailors aboard the battleship Galen soon began to talk about it, and the captain looked at the flag that had been raised from the flagship again, and reluctantly believed this fact.

Commander Lawn, let them persuade the approaching Ming fleet to surrender!

In fact, the captain also thought this was very incredible, after all, the other party had at least more than a hundred ships, and he only had nine warships.

No matter how big the gap in equipment is, the other party will not be frightened by himself and surrender directly.

But in any case, Lawn's order had been given, and even if the captain hated it and disagreed, he had no choice but to put down the monocular in his hand and say to the first mate:

"Pass my orders, raise the white flag, and persuade them to surrender!"

At this order, the sailors and crew of the Galen battleship soon shouted again, but these whining did not affect their speed on the deck in the slightest.

On the opposite side, the Fujian Navy Division started with a warship converted from a merchant ship requisitioned from the people, equipped with six giant crossbows, more than 100 muskets, and various firearms.

Surprisingly, before the battle began, a battleship on the other side waved a white flag and slowly came to a stop in front of them.

Just when the sailors on this Ming warship were confused, the Dutch on the Galen battleship began to slow down, and under the orders of the captain, sent several crew members to the watchtower and waved flags in this direction.

Many officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy Division came into contact with this thing for the first time, and even this commander, who had a little combat experience, couldn't understand what the other party meant.

"What does that mean?"

In the face of Shangguan's inquiry, the little flag officer of the guard office silently shook his head again and again:

"I've heard that this is the flag language that the red hairy fan played when he sailed on the sea, but what it means, the small ones don't know."

"It's over."

The general manager subconsciously scolded and frowned tightly.

Perhaps finding that the other party did not react to his own flag, the Galen battleship continued to fly the white flag and slowly approached the Ming warship, and when the distance was almost up, the Dutch standard-bearer found a Chinese-speaking interpreter and began to shout in the air.

The distance is not very close, but the other party's voice is very bright, calm down, and probably understand what it means, and immediately his face changed.

It turned out that this warship was a lobbyist sent by the Dutch to humiliate themselves, and the content of their shouting made people feel indignant and annoyed when they heard it.

The Dutch claimed that the East India Company had announced that it had taken over the entire fleet and the port of Zhangzhou, and ordered the Fujian sailors to surrender immediately, and that they did not want the ship to be destroyed and all men to lay down their arms immediately.

Although he knew that it was difficult to win against these red-haired ghosts, he was a man after all, and he was so humiliated in front of his subordinates, so he immediately clenched his fists and replied:

"This is the Daming Sea Frontier, and it is you who invade without permission!"

"Come on, call Lao Tzu!"

The translation on the Galen battleship is actually half-baked, and the general words are said quickly, which makes it particularly difficult to translate.

The more the captain listened, the more wrong he became, and it was obvious that the Fujian sailors in front of him regarded his pre-war persuasion to surrender as a humiliation with bad intentions.

When he heard the second sentence, his face suddenly became frightened.

Because of the poor Chinese level of the Dutch translator, after the captain understood the meaning of the two sentences, the Fujian naval division warship in front of him was ready for battle.

Seeing the countless assault boats and fire dragon ships surrounding him, the captain was shocked, and hurriedly ran back to the cabin and gave the order to stay away from these small boats.

Soon, the giant crossbow on the Fujian Navy warship began to be launched, and the interpreter of the shouting on the Galen battleship, as well as the crew members who were playing the flag, were directly penetrated and fell into the sea.

Looking at the sea water under his feet that was gradually stained red by the blood of his own people, the Dutch finally knew that this seemingly backward giant crossbow was so powerful in melee combat.

Soon, the Galen battleship began to turn its rudder, and the sailors and crew on it picked up the advanced muskets leaning on the side and counterattacked the vanguard fleet of the Fujian Naval Division.

The ant-colony-like assault boat quickly began to implement wolf pack tactics to encircle and annihilate the huge Galen battleship in front of him.

The Ming troops on the assault boats, under the fire of the Dutch, desperately approached them, and the officers and men of the Ming naval division threw hooks with ropes and hooked the bulwarks of the Galen battleship from all sides.

After that, with steel knives in their mouths and spears on their backs, they began to climb along the ropes towards the battleship Galen.

Faced with such a situation, the captain of the Galen battleship panicked and soon discovered that the opponent's tactics were actually as rumored, extremely old-fashioned.

Including the slightly larger merchant ship in front of him, and the dense assault boats, there was almost no heavy armament.

In contrast, Mo said that his Galen battleship, which could run rampant on the sea, was the eight three-masted galleys behind, and its firepower was overwhelming against them.

Perhaps knowing that his firepower was not as good as that of the Dutch, the warship in front of him, which had been converted from a large merchant ship, was surrounded by a lot of barbed wire, and it was at least two meters long and stretched out diagonally upwards.

In this case, it is very conducive to the battle of the sideboard, once it is hooked by the other party, it is extremely difficult to get out, and the sea is full of the opponent's assault boat and fire dragon boat, and there is no way to jump off the boat and board the boat to escape.

However, he was not in a hurry. ，

After realizing that the Fujian sailors were only embroidering their fists and legs, and were not equipped with any decent weapons at all, the captain of the Galen battleship made a very wise decision - "direct cannon".

The Dutchman's Galen battleships seemed to have given up on breaking away from the encirclement and interception of the assault boats and fire dragon ships, and they began to turn the rudder, exposing all the more than 30 cannons assembled on the side boats, and aimed them at the Fujian naval division warships in front of them.

Soon, there was a thunderous explosion that shocked everyone for a moment.

"Boom—"

The cannon on the Galen warship began to continuously tilt its fire towards the vanguard fleet of the Fujian Naval Division, and the side guns only fired one round, and directly exploded the Fujian Naval Division's warship in front of them.

That's right, it was a direct shot...

In the face of such powerful firepower, the Fujian Naval Division's vanguard fleet's attempt to use wolf pack tactics to encircle and annihilate the Dutch Galen battleship quickly failed.

The fire from the boat gun on the left side blew up a Fujian naval division warship, and soon, the Dutch turned the right ship gun over and aimed at another Fujian naval division warship that was still stunned.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The general suddenly woke up and began to shout wildly.

The officers and soldiers of the sailors on the ship also began to turn the rudder, but with a shaking sound, debris and gunpowder smoke flew in the air, and the Fujian sailor warship, which was converted from a merchant ship, was shot apart again without any suspense.
