Not by chance, but the result of many years of experience in the master of the ship, both of whom know how to catch the wind!

The Ming people go with the wind, and the Dutch people go against the wind.

Then, the clippers of both sides found the location of the opponent's main force and immediately guided the enemy to the enemy.

When the shadows of the two fleets fell into each other's telescopes, both the Dutch and Ming generals let out a long breath.

The efforts you have made in these years will soon be clear!

"All the way!" Yan Changwu commanded.

The beating of the drum on the flagship and the flags hoisted fell on the senses of Xiao Changrong of the pilot ship, and he immediately ordered: "Sail in the wind!" Hang the pilot flag! ”

A bright red flag was hung on the bow mast of Tainan No. 1 under his command, and it suddenly accelerated.

The battleships behind followed one after another, and gradually formed a long snake formation to force the Dutch ships.

In the same way, the Dutch ships also laid out a battle line, and the ships rushed into the battle line, and the distance between them and the south-east fleet was constantly approaching.

On the flagship, a line of officers' telescopes is lined up, needless to say, the longest and largest telescope is Yan Dashao's......

He put down the golden telescope in his hand and said suspiciously to Storm next to him, "It seems that the movements of the Dutch seem to be natural......

Storm was originally the captain of the battleship Nanhai No. 4, but Yan Changwu still couldn't do without him, and let another naturalized red-haired fan Kaustit serve as the captain of the battleship, this Mr. Kao is a veteran of navigation and gunnery, and he can command large battleships (at least more qualified than other Ming captains), and the Southeast No. 2 battleship he commanded was given to Cheng Yu as the captain.

Letting the telescope out of his eyes, Storm said, "The Overseers have eyes!" I saw the 'Kraken' and the 'Aeolus', which are ships that often run Cape Storm! ”

Cape of Good Hope (Portuguese: Cabo da Boa Esperan?a, English Cape of Good Hope) means "Cape of Good Hope", is a very famous headland at the southwest tip of Africa, because of many storms, rough waves, so it was originally called "Cape of Storms", the Cape of Good Hope is the Western explorers want to lead to the rich eastern waterway, so it was renamed the Cape of Good Hope.

The bosses of the ships who dare to cross the Cape of the Storm are first-class sailors, and the ships that dare to cross the Cape of the Storm are sturdy, and if they are fragile, they will be destroyed by the storm.

It will definitely be beneficial to use it in naval warfare in this way.

"And the 'Three Camel Brothers'! Look, their bow looks like a Shenluo! Storm pointed out that it was a Dutch merchant ship that often bagged in the Red Sea in the Middle East, well, the wind and waves there were not very good, but piracy was particularly rampant there!

"There are so many pirates that if you're not careful, they can steal even the rudder!" Storm said, "As long as a ship is near, you are right to shoot and shoot!" ”

Mr. Zaiwei next to him came to a very Chinese language and said: "Kill them all, there must be wronged, and if you kill one another, your rudder may not be protected!" ”

Everyone can't help but wonder,

In other words, the red-haired fans who dare to beg for life there are all ruthless stubble, no way, either they will soak in the seawater, or they will gnaw the bread crust in their hometown (bankrupt).

"Snow!" Yan Changwu felt a toothache, remembering the Somali pirates who terrified the seafarers, and also remembered a certain action film about the Red Sea that had a high historical box office record!

Storm continued to observe, saying that the dozen or so ships were unfamiliar, and that it seemed that the Dutch had brought in a new force.

He was right, the Governor of the East India Company, Speke, invited the Dutch ships in the Indian Ocean to take advantage of the southeastern province, as long as the southeast province was captured, he would earn enough money just to collect water from the Ming ships!

In addition, the rice fields in the southeast province are ripe fields, as well as sugar cane and tobacco, and nearly a million people!

Collecting their poll tax is a good income!

The people of the southeast province supported this regime because they did not have to pay the poll tax, while other places did not have such treatment at all, and almost the people of the southeast province expressed their firm support for Yan Dashao's rule after comparison.

Nuoda's career, once defeated in the southeast, has everything, full of temptation, so the Dutch two oceans of navigation and artillery veterans are attracted to Batavia, brush the monster!

The Dutch are very strong, and the Southeastern Army is well-trained, with strong heroes on both sides, and this battle is destined to be bloody!

……

The ships of both sides were getting closer and closer, and the details of the enemy ships on the opposite side could already be seen, and everyone in the cabin behind the cannon hole was staring at each other.

The atmosphere was tense, and Xiao Changrong, as the leader, cheered everyone up: "Brothers, our 'Yueyue, Water, Fire, Wood, Jinjin' is not practiced in vain, as long as you shoot according to the requirements of the usual training later, don't be afraid of casualties, if you want to die, we will definitely be behind them, and our protective equipment is much better than them!" ”

That's right, many of the Dutch are clothed, and even many have no protection on their heads, and they fight with their upper bodies on their heads, and their style is very arrogant.

As for the Southeastern Army, the water basin-type iron helmet on the head, and the upper body are all worn with cowhide, deerskin (soldier equipment) and crocodile skin (officer equipment) vests embedded with steel plates, and everyone is forced to wear them, and if they don't wear them, they will be punished by military discipline!

Other "accessories" such as armours and legmails are not "standard" (there are details here, such as the Sniper making them wear too thick will affect their movements, so let them go).

However, most of the southeastern army protected themselves tightly, wore all the armor they could wear, and carefully hid by the bulwark or used the mast to protect themselves.

Veterans who have fought in the war know that if you don't pretend to be B, you have to eat guns or shrapnel if you pretend to be B!

The recruits are doing the same, hoping to survive the terrible war.

As for the captain, they are surrounded by marines, the officers and soldiers are very helpless, the captain must risk his life to command the battle, he must not hide, he must let the crew see him, so the captain is beautiful, but the greater the benefit, the greater the risk.

As for the marines, they have to act as meat shields to protect the captain, not to mention the danger.

……

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of artillery shook the sea, and the Southeast Fleet gained the upper hand and opened fire first.

Fireworks erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the shells left the chamber at high speed, heading straight for the Dutch ship!

The muzzle shock caused the empty sea to tremble, and the sawdust on the Dutch ship flew and screamed!

And the Dutch ship silently withstood the artillery fire until Governor Speke saw that the wind was in the right direction and gave an order: "Fire!" ”

The guns on the Dutch battleship fired a salvo, and Xiao Changrong, who was in the lead, quickly had straight eyes, and after he drove past the opponent's five ships, his three masts were only the middle one, bare like something that had been shaved......
