After a day and a night of sailing, Feng Xiang led the fleet to the predetermined sea area.

At this time, according to the report of the sentinel ship, the Dutch had discovered their movement and were hurrying from the southeast, and Feng Xiang also ordered the fleet to set up a posture and prepare for battle.

Half an hour later, the Dongping Island Navy was in full swing, with the two second-class battleships of Daqin and Dahan as the core, and the ten third-class battleships of Qin Shihuang, Han Gaozu, Han Wendi, Guangwu Emperor, Han Xuandi, Han Yuan Emperor, Han Jingdi, Tang Gaozong, Tang Taizong, and Tang Gaozong followed closely behind, forming a huge battle line, and the twelve main battleships were lined up in a line, with great momentum.

The remaining twenty fourth-class battleships and twenty-five fifth-class battleships were also lined up in a battle line, cruising north of the main battleship, ready to flank the Dutch fleet.

The 26 main ships of the Shandong Navy Division were behind the main battleships, lined up in the six-point plum blossom array used by the Daming Navy Division, ready to attack at the right time.

The remaining nearly 100 Dasha ships and Daqingtou were nowhere to be found, and they were not with the main fleet.

At this time, Dai Yongchao, the commander of the Shandong Navy Division, looked at the two huge battle lines on the vast sea, and his heart was surging, these huge warships were like sea fortresses, terrifying.

"It's a blessing that my husband was born in this battle!"

Dai Yongchao's heart was surging, and he looked at the battle formation formed by the twenty-six lucky ships under his command, and the joy on his face suddenly dissipated a lot.

"It would be great if these lucky ships were replaced by giant treasure ships like the Nanjing Navy, even if they weren't for these giant ships, they would never be worse than Xiyi's fleet!"

Suddenly, Dai Yongchao saw a little white sail appear on the sea to the southeast, which was the Dutchman's signature soft sail.

"It's coming!"

Dai Yongchao was excited and nervous in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Order: all ships are ready to act!" ”

Almost at the same time, the twenty-six ships set sail and began to move closer to the south of the battlefield.

At the same time, Feng Xiang also gave the order to meet the battle, and the twelve main fleets took the lead in approaching the Dutch, and the battle line composed of forty-five fourth- and fifth-class battleships also circled from the north.

The commander of the Dutch fleet this time was the Dutch colonial commander Van Zerey, and Robin, who had led the army before? Van Persie has been left in Jakarta to listen to orders, and has been demoted to the rank of warrant officer, so it can be said that there is no possibility of a comeback.

Before Robin? Fan Persie signed an agreement with Liu Juntao, and he was full of joy that he had made a great contribution, who thought that it was just to buy time for Fan Zerui to mobilize the fleet, and it was not a credit at all.

At this time, Fan Zerui looked at the two Ming army battle lines that were approaching, and his face was also solemn, after this period of time, it seems that the strength of the Ming Navy has increased again!

"All the fleets are arrayed, passing through the middle of the two battle lines of the Ming Kingdom!"

Soon, more than fifty Dutch battleships formed an even larger battle line, and passed straight through the middle of the two battle lines of the Dongping Island Navy!

The current situation of the sealing glue was also taken aback, and hurriedly ordered to fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The sea suddenly roared, and the twelve capital battleships were the first to fire, and the dense heavy artillery continued to smash into the Dutch fleet. Immediately afterwards, the battle line of forty-five battleships of the fourth and fifth ranks also began to exert its might, constantly tilting its artillery fire into the battle line of the Dutch.

The Dutch fired back at the first time, and a huge battle line opened fire on both sides at the same time, and the guns on the left and right sides of all the Dutch battleships roared continuously, venting the same amount of artillery fire into the naval battle line on Dongping Island.

At this time, the sea was full of artillery fire, and it was a hellish scene.

Feng Xiang's flagship, the Daqin, was constantly hit by the gunfire of Dutch warships, but with its thick deck and huge size, it was still able to support it. But the battleships in the distance are not good, Feng Xiang has already seen the Huaihe, Liaohe, and Dongchangfu three battleships on fire, basically losing their combat power, the Henan Fu is sinking, and the Dutch warships only have three large armed merchant ships on fire, and none of them have sunk!

"It still doesn't look good!"

Feng Xiang can clearly see that the foundation of the Dongping Island Navy is still lacking, and the experience of the sailors and gunners of each ship is too little, so they cannot give full play to the advantages of the artillery, and the rate of fire that should be faster than the Dutch cannot be reflected at all, and it is even slower, so that the number of artillery of the Dongping Island Navy is obviously more, but the artillery fire is not as fierce as the Dutch!

Also, the Dutch warships are more sturdy, and the warships of the Dongping Island Navy are all new designs, so there are a lot of shortcomings, and the most important point is that the keel and deck are too thin to withstand large-scale artillery fire!

Feng Xiang was anxious at this time, if he continued to fight like this, even if he exhausted the Dongping Island Navy, he would not be able to achieve the expected goal of inflicting heavy damage on the Dutch!

At the same time, Dai Yongchao, the commander of the Shandong Navy Division, who was watching the battle in the rear, and his generals were already dumbfounded, and everyone had never seen such a magnificent and gorgeous naval battle scene.

"My lord! Look! ”

Dai Yongchao hurriedly looked, only to see that Feng Xiang had already raised the flag, and immediately shouted: "The big husband should move forward!" Sortie! ”

Twenty-six ships lined up, joined the battle group from the south of the battlefield, and went straight to the tail of the Dutch battle line.

Although the firepower and protection of these lucky ships are not as good as the Dutch, their sailing performance is still good, and the sailors on board are all old sea wolves of the Shandong Naval Division, so the six-point plum blossom array composed of twenty-six lucky ships did not take much time to insert into the Dutch battle line, and actually stopped eight battleships!

Seeing this, Feng Xiang shouted hello, and ordered the two battle lines to concentrate their firepower on the middle and front of the Dutch fleet to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, and at the same time set off the trumpet cannon to notify the killer to attack!

Looking at the commander of the Dutch fleet, Fan Zerui, at this time, looking at the Shandong Navy fleet that suddenly came out, there was no panic on his face, and he said to the flag bearer: "Tell the eight battleships that were stopped, end the battle within half an hour, keep up as soon as possible, and don't delay time, so as not to weaken the firepower of the main battlefield!" ”

In Fan Zerui's opinion, eight warships composed of two third-class battleships, two fourth-class battleships, and three armed merchant ships can completely deal with more than 20 Ming sea ships in more than ten or twenty minutes.

After giving the order, Fan Zerui focused on the main battlefield, but in the case of the temporary loss of eight warships, the firepower of his side instantly weakened a lot, the firepower of the Dongping Island Navy temporarily gained the upper hand, and the losses of the Dutch fleet began to increase!

"Are you all idiots? It's a shame to let these yellow-skinned monkeys be pressed and beaten! ”

Van Zerui roared angrily, and his sailors and gunners became more excited, and it didn't take long for the firepower of the Dutch fleet to really get a little stronger.

Suddenly, a large number of ships appeared on the south side of the battlefield, and those ships were most of the Shandong Naval Division, which had disappeared before, and the big sand boats and big green heads were covered with thick linoleum cloth, loaded with sulfur, charcoal, and other igniting materials, and were sailing towards the eight entangled Dutch warships at full speed.

Seeing this, Feng Xiang laughed and said, "Haha! This time, let the red-haired devil taste it! ”

Just now, Feng Xiang received the news of the death of the captain Shen Fei and Ji Yu successively, and his heart was full of anger, and at this time he held back his strength and shouted: "Burn me!" Burn it all out! ”

At the same time, Dai Yongchao, the commander of the Shandong Navy Division, also shouted excitedly: "Get out of the sea!" Get out to sea! ”

In just ten minutes, seven of the twenty-six Fu ships have sunk, and the remaining dozen or so are all injured, while the eight Dutch warships are still unscathed, making Dai Yongchao unable to swallow this breath: "If all the treasure ships in my hands are in my hands, how can I still tolerate these Xiyi rampant!" ”

At this time, seeing that the fireboat fleet was killed, Dai Yongchao hurriedly led his troops to retreat, and hundreds of fireships directly separated twenty and crashed over!

"Ignition!"

The soldiers on board lit the fireboats, and then jumped on the small sampan and rowed towards the Shandong Navy fleet behind.

In the blink of an eye, twenty fireships burst into flames, and the eight Dutch warships fired desperately, trying to sink the fireships, but after the twenty fireships were silent on four, the remaining sixteen had already rushed to the front and devoured all eight Dutch warships!

Fan Zerui looked at the eight battleships that were ignited in a blink of an eye, and the sailors on board fell into the sea one after another, and the dozens of fireships were rushing over at full speed, while the Dutch fleet was entangled by the two battle lines of the Ming Kingdom, and his heart was suddenly terrified to the extreme.

"To the north! Northward! Stand out! ”

At this time, Fan Zerui had only one thought in his heart: to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible!

"These Ming people are simply crazy, they actually use hundreds of sea ships as fireships!"

In Fan Zerui's impression, even if it is attacked with fireboats, it should be small boats, and there will not be many of them, after all, these fireships also require huge money to build, who would have thought that the Ming people would be so "squandering money" and directly use hundreds of sea ships to burn!

At this time, all the Dutch went crazy, they didn't need to be urged by the officials, they were all busy, and the entire Dutch fleet also sped up, and finally after losing three warships, they finally got out of the battlefield, Feng Xiang saw that he was also good at it, and ordered to stop the pursuit, and after rescuing his own fallen sailor, he ordered to return to the Dongping Island Naval Base.

In this battle, the Dongping Island Navy finally repelled the Dutch fleet, and the Shandong Navy Division lost more than 40 warships, and Feng Xiang's division lost three fourth-class battleships and five fifth-class battleships. And the Dutch lost eleven ships.

Although the Dutch took the initiative to retreat in this battle, and the battle losses of the Dongping Island Navy were less, the main force of the Dutch fleet was still there, and it still maintained an overall advantage. After the war, although the Dongping Island Navy temporarily broke the blockade of the Dutch, it could not maintain this situation for a long time, and Feng Xiang had no choice but to continue to ask the governor of Shandong for help.
