"Peng!" With a dull sound, like a flying piece of wood in the sky, one of the guards standing beside Yan Changwu fell, although he was holding a shield, but a broken cannonball that flew from nowhere hit his forehead.

The stern was stained with blood, Yan Changwu stood straight, and he ignored the danger of bullets and bullets, standing on the stern tower to supervise the battle.

As one of the most eye-catching large ships, it is inevitable that it will be cared for by the Dutch, in addition to the shelling, the ubiquitous cold guns, the Dutch shoot down from the mast to shoot the officers and soldiers on the deck, Yan Changwu is one of the main targets, he has been prepared, the guards are wearing heavy armor, plus shields, forming a tortoiseshell array.

Even so, half of the guards around him were killed by artillery fire, and even the close attendant Shui Shen was wounded.

And the other big ship, the Taiwan, was even more miserable, as expected, the black warrior Celesma was extremely eye-catching, the artillery of the Dutch was fired at him one after another, and the guards around him were also equipped like Yan Changwu, but they were changed all over again!

But the crews of the Taiwan are well aware of the situation, and their captain cannot die! They took the bloody shield and acted as a meat shield to defend the Dutchman to the death!

The Dutch are beating the Dutch, while the Chinese are defending the Dutch, and this battle is really ridiculous.

Amazingly, Siresma was unscathed, neither the cannonballs, nor the bullets nor the wooden blocks could hit him, and he was so brave that he could be called "May the force be with me".

But the rest of his ship was heavily wounded, the three helmsmen were killed one by one, and Siresma himself took over the helm!

Both sides were desperately firing artillery, and during the battle, the head ship of the Southeast Fleet, "Kaohsiung No. 1", failed to run through the enemy's battle line, and was not sunk under the enemy's artillery fire in turn, but the losses kept coming!

"Report, we lost the last gun!" A non-commissioned officer, covered in blood, ran up from the gun deck and said gloomily.

There were eighteen guns on the gun deck, all of which were destroyed, so you can imagine how fierce the artillery battle was.

Eighteen guns were divided into port and starboard guns, and under the shelling of the Dutch, first nine guns on the starboard side were destroyed (unusable), the scene was cleared, and the port guns were pulled to the right, and then the nine guns were also reimbursed.

The guns were still like this, and the people were even more unbearable, the bulwarks and decks were blurred with flesh and blood, and the screams and moans of people made it a bloody hell inside.

The gunners were almost all lying down, and the co-captain of the Costyt was uncertain whether he would die or not.

The non-commissioned officer was the only remaining senior officer on the gun deck, and before Costet could say anything after hearing his report, he heard a cannonball whizzing.

"Bump!"

The fight was really accurate, and the main mast of Kaohsiung No. 1 fell in response, pressing two sailors who did not pay attention to dodging below, and one sailor was pressed in the chest and abdomen, vomiting blood one after another, and his condition was critical.

And the foremast of Kaohsiung No. 1 has long been broken, there is no main foremast, the speed is greatly reduced, the cannon is gone, and even most of the artillery on the open deck has been destroyed, and the officers and soldiers directly use the barrel to open fire!

……

Cheng Yu, the captain of the Kaohsiung No. 3 who followed the Kaohsiung No. 1, was a little hairy man who was just 20 years old, and he saw the red cross flag displayed by the Kaohsiung No. 1, indicating that the ship was out of control.

Kaohsiung No. 1 withdrew from the battle line, no longer the head ship, and no longer took on the responsibility of piloting!

Cheng Yu's boatswain said to him: "Sir, you have been promoted, and now you are the leader!" ”

"Sir, your orders?" People urged him to say.

"Raise the flag of the leader, I am the head ship!" Cheng Yu took a deep breath and said.

A flag embroidered with a white sheep on a red background was raised (a similar flag had been taken down on the Kaohsiung No. 1 ship), it was an honor and a dangerous job to be the head ship, and he soon knew that it was powerful!

Cannonballs are coming, cold guns are everywhere!

His battleship trembled, and it was constantly hit by shells.

Sometimes twenty-four-pound heavy artillery hits, and the whole ship is staggered, and the men are unsteady on their feet.

The officers and soldiers around him kept falling, that is, they were knocked down by shells, bullets and wooden blocks!

Cheng Yu's scalp was numb, and he immediately realized his danger, and he saw with his own eyes a gunman on the main mast of the enemy ship on the opposite side aiming at him!

The gunman fired, and luckily, the bullet didn't know where it flew!

He immediately understood what to do, so he was surrounded by flesh shields, and the officers and soldiers stood in the way to protect him.

He can't die!

If it dies, the ship loses its commander, and as the lead ship, it will bury the entire Southeast Fleet!

……

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn the British! "The commander on the Dutch flagship" Prometheus "Sonck gritted his teeth.

His battleship had just had a summit conversation with the "Southeast", and the two sides were shelling each other with a round of shelling, as a result of which the "Prometheus" was defeated!

The ship was blown into a mess, as miserable as being trampled by 10,000 grass and mud horses.

Dead dead, wounded wounded, rotten rotten, broken and broken!

Songke really wanted to cry without tears, and hated the British who sold the giant ship to the Akito!

Indeed, the British achieved their goal to a certain extent, leaving the Dutch to shed a lot of blood.

But he was a little lucky, fortunately, the British did not deliver the last two battleships to the Ming people, otherwise, this battle would not have to be fought!

The power of the giant ship is extraordinary, he was so angry that his eyes turned back, and Yan Changwu on the Southeast was high-spirited, "You are all hyenas, even lions!" ”

The hyena is the second good man on the list of animal heroes in Africa, and the eldest brother in the lead is the lion, but when it comes to fighting, the lioness has to retreat from the hyena one-on-one, but as soon as the male lion comes out, even if it is a large group of hyenas, they let the male lion.

The lion is strong and powerful, and is good at killing with one blow, Yan Changwu controls the Southeast and adopts a salvo combat method, and each salvo bombards a Dutch warship with no temper.

As for the Taiwan, which was the flagship of the vanguard, due to too much damage, its guns were heavily damaged, and the gunner was also seriously short, resulting in a sharp reduction in firepower, but Siresma still drove it to attract enemy fire.

The artillery battle lasted for two hours, and the battle lines of both sides were about to run out (the lead ship of the Southeastern Fleet approached the last battleship of the Dutch fleet), and the results were as follows:

None of the ships surrendered, the Dutch sank two, and the Southeast Fleet did not sink a single one.

Ships in the Sail Age are very difficult to sink unless they are very unlucky.

However, five ships of the Dutch fleet were separated from the battlefield due to the loss of combat effectiveness, and only three ships of the Southeast Fleet were separated from the battlefield, but the Dutch still maintained the advantage.

At present, the sea is not small, but the captains of the two fleets are able to control the ship, and they still maintain the battle line, but the Dutch stand in the upper hand, and the southeast fleet has become the downwind.

"Five compass points to the left, go ahead!" Cheng Yu ordered, determined to seize the upper hand by opening up the distance!

The glory of being the head ship is fully revealed, no matter how big the battleship behind is, it must follow his follow, and a long fleet of large fleets is dragged behind the head ship, which is a grand sight.

"Damn it!" Songke cursed again, because the Southeast Fleet actually regained the upper hand!

The Dutch had a number of good seafarers, but the opposing ships were light and showed that they had made no mistakes.

The opponent's guns were ruthless, and he had good ship control skills, and Songk realized that the trip was not easy.

After two hours of competition, Cheng Yu opened fire again, and the second battle kicked off, this time it was the turn to use the port gun to attack the opponent.
