If it was a battle in the open sea, the tortoiseshell ship was naturally not the opponent of the huge Dutch battleship, but in the offshore operation, the advantages of the tortoiseshell ship were revealed, especially the cannon heavy artillery on the Dutch battleship was pinned down by Guo Zhiyuan's main fleet, and the small-caliber falcon cannon could not cause effective damage to the tortoiseshell ship at all, which made the Dutch really feel "nowhere to put their mouths". Guo Zhiyuan saw the advantages of the "tortoiseshell ship" in the offshore battle, so he used the "tortoiseshell ship" as his hole card in the key battle of the Dutch fleet!

At this time, the "tortoiseshell ship" is like a group of hedgehogs running into the tiger's den, messing up the Dutch fleet, the tiger is powerful, but there is nowhere to put its mouth on the hedgehog, there is no way, not to mention that these "hedgehogs" can bite, the bow of the "tortoiseshell ship" is equipped with a hard and sharp ramming angle, which is prepared for this kind of melee scene, more than a dozen "tortoiseshell ships" rampage with great flexibility under the control of hundreds of sailors in the cabin, and the pirate ships that are guarding the Dutch fleet around the ship came to intercept in a panic, But they hit a hole, and after a while, they sank more than a dozen pirate ships, so frightened that other pirate ships no longer dared to come and intercept them, so that more than a dozen tortoiseshell ships directly entered the inner defense circle of the Dutch fleet.

The Dutchman's Galen ship was so large that it was naturally impossible to be as flexible as the "tortoiseshell ship", Frans could only order the soldiers on the ship to shoot at the tortoiseshell ship with muskets, but the iron-clad deck of the tortoiseshell ship could not even blow up small-caliber shells, let alone musket bullets, while the soldiers of the New Army hiding behind the guard on the tortoiseshell ship could calmly return fire with flintlock muskets, and from time to time Dutch soldiers were shot and screamed and fell from the battleship!

This is not the worst, the worst thing is the rocket launched by the soldiers of the New Army on the tortoiseshell ship, the rocket launched by the New Army has fuel cylinders tied to it, once ignited, even the rain cannot be extinguished at once, if it is shot on the deck, it is easy to do, Frans can let the soldiers extinguish it quickly, but if it is shot on the sail, it will be over, the sail is flammable, once it is ignited, it will be difficult to extinguish!

The more he feared something, the more he was afraid, and in a short time the sails of several Dutch battleships were set on fire, and Frans angrily commanded the soldiers to hurry to put out the fire, so that the Dutch battleships were also in chaos, and even the gunners who operated the guns did not have the heart to fire the guns!

Guo Zhiyuan naturally would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime fighter, seeing that the formation of the Dutch fleet was in chaos, the sails were on fire, and the artillery fire was also thinning, he immediately ordered all the Dongfan Navy warships to press on a large scale.

Frans also felt that the general situation was not good, Guo Zhiyuan completely subverted his impression of the declining Daming Navy, especially the appearance of tortoiseshell ships made him feel incredible, this "invulnerable" ironclad ship has exceeded his understanding of sea ships, which made him a little afraid, he has always felt that the Netherlands is the maritime hegemon of this era, naturally it is also the most advanced country, but now the backward Chinese have made a "invulnerable" ironclad ship that is completely beyond his cognition, This shook his belief that no one could defeat the Dutch fleet in a head-to-head battle!

Seeing the whole army of the Dongfan Navy warships pressing up, Frans knew that he would not be able to run if he didn't run anymore, and roared hoarsely: "Retreat!" U-turn and rush out! Crash through those damn iron-hulled turtle boats and rush out! ……”

This time the huge hull of the Dutch Galen ship finally worked, although the tiger had no way to take the hedgehog, but the tiger wanted to run the hedgehog could not stop, although the heroic soldiers of the New Army drove the tortoiseshell boat to intercept regardless of the danger, but the huge size gap between the two sides was destined to be just a mantis arm blocking the car, several tortoiseshell ships were knocked over, fortunately the tortoiseshell boat next to the rescue was timely, so that the above self-renewal army was not buried in the sea.

However, the Dutch did not escape easily, Guo Zhiyuan had already predicted the escape route of the Dutch, and put a large amount of trigger water in that direction. Thunder, water. The thunder explosions one after another made the Dutch more and more panicked, and in the end, only ten Dutch battleships escaped from the encirclement set by Guo Zhiyuan!

The remaining Dutch battleships were either already burned with their sails and could not run, or their bottoms were flooded. Thunder blew out of the hole and entered the water, the Dutch did not have the tradition of preferring death to surrender, and soon raised the white flag, Guo Zhiyuan would not beat the water dogs at this time, he had coveted the 1,000-ton battleships of the Dutch for a long time, with these captured Dutch battleships, the shipyard in Dongfan should soon be able to build a new 1,000-ton warship!

This time Guo Zhiyuan really hurt the Dutch, only 10 of the 22 Dutch battleships ran out, capturing more than 500 Dutch soldiers and officers, as for the Chinese pirates who were attached to the Dutch, they were almost completely wiped out, and none of the more than 50 pirate ships ran out, all of them were taken prisoner, such an overwhelming victory is quite rare in the history of world naval warfare, because naval battles are not as good as land battles, and they can still run if they can't win, and it is very difficult to obtain such brilliant results on the vast sea.

The most surprised is Zheng Zhilong, before the war he was very optimistic that Guo Zhiyuan could win this battle, and even because Guo Zhiyuan did not adopt his proposal, Guo Zhiyuan was a little blind and arrogant, but he didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan not only to win this battle, but also an overwhelming victory! This made him look at Guo Zhiyuan's gaze with awe for the first time!

Shen Yourong led his fleet to pursue as soon as the Dutch fled, but he didn't catch up, so he could only take the fleet back again, and when he saw Guo Zhiyuan, he was excited and regretful and said: "My lord, you fought this battle too beautifully!" It's been a long time since I've fought such a painful naval battle! It's a pity that the red-haired ghost still ran away with ten ships! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can't run!" This time I just beat them up, and next time I will completely scare them, so that they no longer dare to covet my Chinese birth! ……”

Shen Yourong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh hard and said, "That's right!" Red-haired ghosts can't run! How did I forget this stubble, the monk can't run away from the temple, and the red-haired ghost must have fled back to Penghu Water Village! Adult, let's go to Penghu Water Village, if we let the red-haired ghost defend the village, it will be difficult for us to break through the water village! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's not busy, the battlefield hasn't been cleaned yet, these Dutch battleships are all treasures, even if the Dutch defend the village, I have a way to clean them up, just give them some time to prepare, so that they can be completely scared!" ……”
