The people of the southeast province are celebrating, and during the same period of time, after the southeast fleet has completed the rescue of the wounded, made supplies, and urgently repaired the ships, it selected two newly-built five-class cruisers (Tainan class), which were respectively used as the forward flagship, commanded by Siresma, and the other was the flagship, commanded by Yan Changwu, and then there were twenty-six six-level cruisers (Kaohsiung-class), galloping out and chasing the Dutchmen!

The rest of the warships returned to the four towns in the southeast, after all, if the lair was raided after the victory, the world would be laughed at.

The cold air is still hovering in Taiwan, and the breath of spring is approaching, the warm air flow over the ocean is generated, the cold and hot are clashing, the dense rain line sweeps the sea due east, the gray rain curtain blurs the vision, and the officers and soldiers on the open-air deck are wearing water suits to work,

The ships raised their foresails and upper masts, but not fully deployed, but marched in unison, and the gales pulled their rigging to a critical point.

The observation posts kept their eyes wide open, and their binoculars kept an eye out for any signs on the surface, and by noon the waves were getting bigger and bigger. Now everywhere there was a raging tide, and the white expanse was vain.

The hull shook violently, and a storm swept across the hull, and the water jetted out, like a gun with a stick, so that the people on deck could not see the bow for a moment.

The deck is in dire straits, and below is in full swing...... Busy pumping water.

Sail warships, no matter how good the seal is, there are gaps, and the sea water penetrates through the cracks, and at this time the water will be pumped, and there is no idle crew in the cabin, and everyone will come in handy.

Here is also about the role of Yan Changwu, he paid great attention to the use of water pumps, leaving a water pump channel directly to the bilge, and using artificial water pumps to pump water, which greatly reduced the workload of the crew.

Maybe you should be poor and don't chase after you, especially in such ghost weather, but under the military order, everyone obeys the public.

Yan Changwu has his reasons for doing this, his cruiser is fast and seaworthy, so he dares to fight.

The fleet was tossed and turned in the wind and waves, and it was almost evening, when there was still a little light left, when the telescopes of the observation posts that had gone up to the mast were pointed to the northwest, and they saw the top sail of the red-haired cleats clearly above the jagged horizon!

They shouted, and when the waves lifted the ship, the upper mast sails of the red-haired ships could be seen, and the officers and observation posts of the high-spirited Southeastern Fleet stared at the sky with wide eyes, and the navigator shouted to the sailors and helmsmen to hurry up and pursue.

After a little noon the next day, when the wind and waves became smaller, the Southeastern Fleet successfully caught up with the Dutch fleet, and the two fleets sailed in parallel, three miles apart!

……

The Dutch fleet, which had 40 warships (many of which returned to the fleet and a few that left the fleet), was a little uneasy, and they did not expect that in such weather, the Akito would not let them go.

It looks like the Aketo fleet is menacing, and there is a feeling of "refreshed".

Last night's overnight repair was not for nothing, the damaged hull was repaired, the mast was repaired, the broken sails were replaced with new ones, the artillery was basically usable, and the gunpowder was ready.

The key is to make a hammer like this, and everyone's confidence is full of confidence, and they travel lightly.

In contrast to the Dutch fleet, which had only undergone simple repairs, the ships were broken sails, and the wounded were still screaming in the cabin...... It's as miserable as asking a child to beg and being bitten by a dog instead of begging.

During the sail period, the battleship was engaged in battle, and it was not easy to be sunk, but after P, it was often described as miserable, just like hand-to-hand combat, with a blue nose and swollen ears, and a body without complete skin.

Before it was repaired, it was really a different level than what others had repaired.

On the ship "Bukasbel", which was carrying thirty-two guns, the Dutch commander Sonck turned pale and angry. (He switched, and the result of the previous flagship shooting at the Southeast was that the Southeast was beaten by it)

There seemed to be a raging flame burning in his chest: when, when did our noble Europa give the yellow race such an embarrassing pursuit!

In fact, they also found the mast of the opposing warship rising at dawn, and thinking that the comer was not good, the Dutch cleverly grabbed their tails and fled, but they did not escape.

It's too much of a deception!

The Dutch were furious, they were ready to fight (and could not run away), the bell rang, the flag fluttered, the gun doors were opened, the ready guns were sticking out of their muzzles, and the musketeers were on the mast.

They watched with jealousy as the streamlined warships of the Ming people approached them like flying fish, some of them even reaching a speed of fifteen knots (nautical miles, ordinary sailboats can't run fast), and the Ming people's warships were unpretentious, without any fancy patterns, but they were so fast that even if the best captains of the Dutch tried their best, they could only watch them catch up.

When they came, the Dutch saw the tall Akito general in black armor wearing a terrible mask (they didn't know it was their own countryman), like a black god of death, and they were terrified!

……

"Huh!" The Black Warrior Siresma exhaled a long breath and whispered, "Let's destroy them all!" ”

Destroy the Dutch ships to his heart's content, kill them, he has become a traitor to the Dutch completely.

However, he did not regret it, he was the descendant of Storm, the current chief instructor of the Southeast Province, and followed Storm to the Southeast Province, and the Dutch governor in Tainan (Dayuan Island), Mattheis, was sentenced to twenty years in prison by Batavia because of the loss of the city of Orange in Tainan!

It was just a surrender, and the fate of Storm, the main person responsible, was even more terrible, and if Siresma returned to Batavia, there would be no good fruit for him to eat.

Siresma was ambitious and had already expected such an outcome when he returned, so he joined the Southeast Mansion without hesitation and showed his military talent on the stage that Yan Changwu gave him!

He led fourteen warships to form a battle line, attacking parallel from the Dutch's right side, while Yan Changwu led another battle line, cutting diagonally upward, to attack the rear of the Dutch.

Compared to the Dutch, who had forty warships, Yan Changwu only had twenty-eight warships, and dared to divide into two battle lines, and after yesterday's battle, he was even more daring and let go of his hands and feet to attack the Dutch.

"No matter what the situation, if I shoot!"

"Don't be afraid of attacks that lead to defeat, what I have is money! If you lose one, I'll make you a new one, and whoever cowers on the sea, giving up the battle is the biggest crime! ”

"Attack, attack, attack me!"

Yan Changwu shouted at last night's meeting that the fighting tradition of the Southeast Fleet was gradually formed, which was the military soul forged in the uninterrupted battle of blood and fire!
