Chapter 453: Defeat is not allowed to win
Zheng Zhilong pouted secretly, and said in his heart that the Dutch ships are strong and sharp, where is it so easy to defeat, you have to defeat the Dutch in a dignified manner, don't be defeated by the Dutch, but his mouth was hurriedly flattered: "The adult is majestic and strategic, and he can deal with Hongyi with his own hands, but he is being a villain in vain......"
Guo Zhiyuan also knew that Zheng Zhilong would inevitably be unconvinced, waved his hand and smiled: "For the general, with odd combinations, with positive victory, there is no definite formula, it is not easy for you to have this wit at such a young age, it is better to follow the staff of the officer, and see how the official defeats the Dutch with dignity and expels them from the coast of Fujian!" ……”
Zheng Zhilong was originally very disappointed because Guo Zhiyuan did not adopt his offer, but he was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "It is the honor of the grass people to be able to follow the adults, before and after the saddle, let the adults send them!" ……”
In order to win the Dutch with dignity, Guo Zhiyuan dispatched all thirty Qianshi-class warships in Dongfan, and there are also fifty new warships, and the lineup is quite strong, but Zheng Zhilong does not think that Guo Zhiyuan can defeat the powerful fleet of the Dutch with such a lineup, he has been a general for a long time, and he has a lot of contact with the Dutch, so he has a better understanding of the strength of the Dutch, Guo Zhiyuan's Qianshi-class warships are very advanced in Daming, But there was still a big gap compared to the Dutch battleships.
Shen Yourong also took his remaining twenty warships and subordinates to Dongfan to join Guo Zhiyuan, and he also felt a little worried when he saw the lineup sent by Guo Zhiyuan, he had fought with Dutch battleships before, and was impressed by the sharp artillery of the Dutch, the range of the Dutch artillery was quite long, almost more than double the commonly used artillery in the Ming warships, and the power was much greater, if it was a head-on battle, Guo Zhiyuan would have a hard chance of winning, and could only win by numbers. Shall we prepare more 'small fireboats'? The Dutch were at war with the Dutch at the end of the battle, and the 'sea of fire' tactics were still very effective, and if it weren't for the arrival of Dutch reinforcements, the Dutch would have been able to inflict heavy losses at the end of the battle! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan still waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although this tactic of using our 'fireboats' to die with the enemy ships is heroic, it cannot make the Dutch have an invincible awe of the strength of our Dongfan navy, and cannot completely dispel their ambition to try to get involved in our China!" And you've already used the 'Sea of Fire' tactic in your engagement with them before, so they must be on guard, and it's hard to expect to receive the previous miracle! ……”
Shen Yourong thought about it, and also felt that Guo Zhiyuan was reasonable, seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was confident, since Guo Zhiyuan was the boss, then he just had to act according to his orders, and he no longer thought nonsense at the moment, and saluted Guo Zhiyuan cleanly: "My lord, you just give the order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, let the adult dispatch!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Okay! With General Shen out of the horse, the official's plan will be foolproof! ......" said with a smile and shouted: "Shen Yourong listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"You lead your own warships and soldiers to take the initiative to find the Hongyi fleet and engage it, remember, you can't win if you lose! ……”
"Huh?!" Shen Yourong was stunned when he heard this, how could there be such a war? Asking for defeat before the fight starts? However, he reacted immediately, Guo Zhiyuan was a trick to lure the enemy, and hurriedly said: "The last general will take the order!" I just don't know where to retreat if the general is defeated? ……”
Guo Zhiyuan knew that Shen Yourong had understood his intentions, and he no longer sold it, took a map, and nodded vigorously on the map: "General Shen, you have brought the Dutch fleet here, and it is done!" ……”
"Liuluo Bay!" Shen Yourong's eyes also burst into a fine light, and he laughed and said: "My lord had a plan for a long time, but the last general was worried about the sky, so I will go here and promise to attract the Dutch fleet to Liuluo Bay!" ……”
Liuluo Bay is located in the southeast coast of Kinmen, is a bay in the southeast of Kinmen Island facing the Taiwan Strait, is an important passage between Kinmen and Dongfan (Taiwan), Liuluo Bay is located in a dangerous position, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, there have been many large-scale naval battles here, in addition to the Minghe Naval Battle in 1633, in 1958 the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy also had a relationship with the people here. The party navy engaged in war, completely blockaded it in the Taiwan Strait, blocked its transportation channel!
Therefore, as soon as Shen Yourong heard that Guo Zhiyuan asked him to lead the Dutch fleet to Liuluo Bay, he knew that Guo Zhiyuan was fully prepared, and he became more and more confident in defeating the Dutch, and he took his warships and soldiers to find the Dutch fleet.
Of course, the Dutch already knew that Guo Zhiyuan was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Fujian Sea Road, and was about to go out of the mountains to fight with them, the shadow of the famous tree, Guo Zhiyuan's famous name over the years is not covered, and the Chinese pirates recruited by the Dutch were a little worried when they heard the news, but the Dutch commander Franz said nonchalantly: "No one at sea can compete with my powerful Dutch fleet!" One of our battleships can fight fifty of your Chinese warships, this Guo Zhiyuan was cowering in Dongbo before, I can't do anything about him, if I dare to fight with my Dutch fleet, I will even fight his Dongfan! ……”
Don't look at France's indifference on the surface, in fact, he still attaches great importance to Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan can make the Spanish Armada retreat without a fight, of course, there is still some strength, but he can't show weakness, so he personally led all the battleships to continue to loot passing merchant ships and fishing boats along the coastline along the coastline of Fujian, so that even if Guo Zhiyuan led the Dongfan Navy to call, he was not afraid!
Frans swaggered across the sea with a huge Dutch fleet, and was soon found by Shen Yourong, Frans saw the fleet with the Shen Yourong flag was also immediately furious, that night Shen Yourong led the fleet to attack the Dutch fleet at night, and destroyed the four battleships of the Dutch with the "sea of fire tactics", which was the biggest loss since the Dutch opened up the eastern route, Frans was naturally an enemy, and immediately ordered to launch an artillery bombardment on Shen Yourong's fleet!
Shen Yourong naturally would not be arrogant enough to go to the powerful Dutch fleet with his twenty warships, and immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and retreat, and Frans immediately ordered to pursue, and some of the pirates in the same company reminded Frans to be careful, but the arrogant Frans laughed indifferently and said: "In the face of great strength, any strategy is just a small trick, chase me!" ……”
The Dutch fleet chased Shen Yourong's fleet all the way to Liaoluo Bay, Guo Zhiyuan naturally took the Dongfan Navy to wait here, seeing the powerful Dutch fleet appear in the field of vision, the faces of the high-spirited soldiers of the New Army also became a little dignified, compared to the Spanish Invincible Fleet they had seen before, this Dutch fleet was obviously much stronger!
