Chapter 252: We Will Win

Outside the port of Zhangzhou, after experiencing the painful lessons of the vanguard fleet, Yu Zisoap learned from the painful experience, changed his tactics in time, and abandoned the previous combat method based on the tactics of wolves receiving the side.

The assault boat and the fire dragon ship were each hit together, and they were mainly responsible for using their huge numerical superiority to besiege nine Dutch warships, including the Galen battleship, in the coastal waters of Zhangzhou Port.

In fact, Yu Zisou had made considerable preparations before the war, he went to ask some missionaries, and learned about the excellent combat ability of galleys in the near sea.

The tactical intention of besieging the Dutch warships off the coast of Fujian was also the result of Yu Ziso's careful consideration.

Compared with the eight galleys that were about the same size as the Cangshan warship, but with slightly dense firepower, how to restrain the Galen warship had obviously become the key to a quick victory in the battle.

Once the Dutch fleet is trapped offshore, the combat capability of the Galen battleship will be minimized by virtue of the large number of ships of the Fujian naval division.

Correspondingly, the improvement of morale, the timely replenishment of strategic materials, and the reinforcement of the Ming army on the shore have all significantly increased the operation of the Fujian naval division.

Yu Zisoo is the main general of this battle, and he also sees the success or failure of the battle, as well as the casualties of the sailors, which is very important.

With such a huge advantage, even if there is privacy with backward weapons and equipment, if this can't win against the Dutch fleet, he, the general soldier of Fujian, can apologize to the Emperor of the Apocalypse who is in the Forbidden City.

So, this battle must be won!

Outside the port of Zhangzhou, the Ming army practiced new tactics and began to focus on the main forces of Cangshan warships and Fuchuan, and even abandoned the traditional method of cross-docking operations and switched to concentrated artillery bombardment.

Obviously, this also gave the Dutch a blow to the head, but Commander Lawn still had a deep contempt for the native sailors in front of him.

Even when he received a warning from the ships of the Galen that they could not turn around and could not use their full combat capability, they remained indifferent and continued to implement his so-called crushing tactics.

Lawn's contempt for the Fujian Navy Division has been a long time, and the inferior combat effectiveness of the Fujian Navy Division in the past six months has caused him to insist on going his own way and not planning to evacuate Zhangzhou Port.

He wants to use his decisive combat ability to crush these yellow-skinned monkeys who claim to be the Eastern Empire!

On the battlefield, whether on land or sea, fighters are often fleeting, Yu Zisoap was born in a general, and since he was a child, he was influenced by his father, the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Dayou, and naturally knows this well.

He stood on the flagship fluttering the banner of the Ming Dynasty, constantly ordering and scheduling, not daring to have a moment of slack and relaxation.

"The Dutchmen are trapped!" The Penghu Coastal Defense Battalion ran over to the chief Hong Yingdou, with a crying voice in his voice:

"Where's Hong Jiyuan, how's it going?"

"In order to attract firepower, he and the officers and men of the whole ship were killed..."Hong Yingdou half-knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, and he cried:

"Zong Zhen, you must not let one of these red bamboos run out!"

"I want to avenge my brother, I want to avenge my brothers!!"

Yu Zisoap's heart was touched, his eyes were wet for a while, he pressed the saber, and said:

"After this battle, this town will invite the Jingshi to show His Majesty Hong Jiyuan's combat merits, but we must win this battle!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

After besieging the Dutch fleet, the rest was easy.

Numerous assault boats cooperated with fire dragon ships to confuse the eyes of the Dutch, while Cangshan warships and Xiaofu ships, equipped with heavy Francophons and Hongyi cannons, sailed into the encirclement and opened fire on the eight galleys first.

All of a sudden, the coast was full of rumbling cannons, and the Fujian sailors seemed to have turned the entire battlefield into their home turf, and from time to time there were sounds of the ship's hull being blown up and screams.

The Fujian sailors became more and more courageous, and the people of Zhangzhou Port hid in their homes, listening to the earth-shaking sound, as if the cannon was close at hand, they were all curled up at home, trembling.

Soon, they heard someone knocking on the door from house to house, but it was Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, who mobilized a large number of soldiers from the coastal defense battalion and personally came to Zhangzhou Port to help in the battle.

Although they could not fight in the sea, they were able to bring in as long-range artillery as possible and set up batteries on the shore to support the naval divisions.

Hearing the sound of footsteps passing by the doorway, and the clanging sound of armor leaves intersecting, they cautiously opened the door and saw a scene they would never forget.

Not far away, countless officers and soldiers of the Daming Water Division are fighting against the Dutch colonists for the sake of this country and people.

They were not afraid of sacrifice, and even assault boats, which could only fly in two to four people, tried their best to approach and harass the Dutch fleet.

Although, the next moment it may be all dead.

The more the Dutch fought, the more shocked they became, and they could never understand this spirit of sacrifice for the sake of their country and family, which was why their invasion of the East was bound to fail.

At this moment, the commander of the fleet, Lawn, was a little trembling when he spoke, and he trembled and threw away the monocular he was holding in his hand, and stammered:

"Are they devils from hell?"

The first mate looked at the commander who was judging the two of them, and sighed silently.

......

Half an hour ago, Zhangzhou Port and Penghu Fort were separated by sea.

A fleet of more than 60 ships is waving the Zheng Ziling flag, quietly moored here, at this time, the latest news has just come from the rear.

After hearing this, Zheng Yiguan sneered and said:

"I expected the vanguard fleet to collapse at the first touch, but that Yu Zisoap has some skills, so he shouldn't be repulsed like this."

At this time, Huang Cheng suddenly thought of a particularly serious problem:

"Yiguan, if Yu Zisoap withdraws to Zhangzhou Port at this time, then we will be in a situation where we are suffering from the enemy on our backs, and we must guard against it!"

Zheng Yiguan was obviously not completely relieved of the court's faithfulness, he thought about it for a while, but slowly shook his head: "It shouldn't be..."

"Just Zhao'an, we were put together, isn't the court afraid that it will lose its trust in the world?"

"Besides, without the help of our Zheng family's fleet, if they want to repel the Dutch and capture the Galen ship, they will have to spend at least two years in Penghu."

"Two years! Can the current imperial court afford to lose? ”

At this time, Gao Wenlu, the Dutch commander-in-chief on the Penghu side, finally couldn't bear it anymore under Xu Xinsu's prodding, and sent a second fleet to Zhangzhou Port in advance.

Of course, they weren't here to reinforce Lawn.

Like Lawn, Gao Wenlu and Bush, the commander of the Second Fleet, were not at all impressed by the battle of the Fujian Naval Division.

Gao Wenlu was very confident, he felt that at this time, outside the port of Zhangzhou, with the level of Lauen's naval battle, he should have completely defeated these large number of natives.

Therefore, the second fleet led by Bush came to receive the spoils of war, and by the way, forcibly occupied the port of Zhangzhou, so as to give Daming a disadvantage.

On the way to the port of Zhangzhou, Bush did not prepare the fleet for battle, and his fleet did not have Galen warships, only nine three-masted galleys.

While Bush was discussing with the first mate on the flagship how to plunder Zhangzhou, the sailors on the watchtower sounded the alarm bell, and he frantically shouted down:

"Your Excellency Commander, we have been fooled, ahead is Zheng Yiguan's fleet!"
