The sea breeze was blowing, but Anthony's forehead was still sweating, and his face was blue and commanding the battle.

However, after only a moment's effort, he suddenly stopped. The eyes widened wide, staring into the distance.

He suddenly discovered that the Ming warships did not rush directly to the battlefield, but took advantage of the terrain between Lubang Island and Golo Island, which was close to the mainland, to outflank them, with the obvious intention of trying to wipe out the Dutch fleet.

Obviously, the Ming army had premeditated and chose the location of the strait between Lubang Island and Golo Island to launch an attack. Seeing that so many lucky ships were approaching at sea, Anthony turned his head to look at his fleet, which was entangled with the Portuguese fleet, and if he retreated later, he was afraid that he would really not be able to leave. However, if they were to withdraw directly, it is estimated that many warships would be destroyed and damaged by Portuguese warships, and the losses could be equally heavy.

Thanks to Antony's rich experience in naval warfare and his more than ten years as the governor of Batavia, he has done a lot of decision-making, so he did not hesitate, and immediately made a decision, and really ordered all warships to break through on their own and escape first.

However, how could the Portuguese battleships let them get out of the battlefield so easily, the so-called painful beating of the water dogs, it was at this time that they naturally refueled and fought hard.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the roar of artillery, Anders was on the flagship, it was red light, his eyes were shining, he stared at the Dutch battleship, and gave the order to attack with vigor.

With a "boom", the mast of the Dutch transport ship fell, and the already broken hull began to tilt. At this time, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and all the widows in the transport ship rushed out, seeing that the ship was about to sink, they grabbed things and jumped into the sea. There were even a few Japanese people who drew knives and slashed each other in order to grab a wooden barrel that would float on the surface of the sea.

When the Dutch ships were given the order to flee on their own, there was no one to take care of the transports. This one, one after the other, was close to the Portuguese battleships, and those Portuguese didn't mind bringing them a volley of cannons as a gift.

Of course Anthony saw it, but he couldn't help it, the most important thing now was to keep the battleship. Otherwise, when the Ming army attacked Batavia, what else would it use to defend?

However, even if he wanted the strong man to break his wrist and use the transport ship to delay the entanglement of the Portuguese warship, it would not be so easy to escape.

The strait between Lubang and Golo was not wide in the first place, and nearly a hundred warships and transports were already crowded here. Now, more than 200 warships of the Ming army have rushed in again, and you can imagine how crowded it is.

Anthony looked up and saw that this backward fortune ship in the East, which they didn't look up to very much, was sailing in rows on the sea route they had escaped. And there was more than one row, several rows in front and behind, and the intention was very obvious, which was to block the way out of their Dutch battleship.

"Turn the rudder to the left and blast the Ming Army warship!" Anthony didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so he shouted directly to the heralds beside him.

The flag was waved, and the Dutch battleships fleeing in front began to turn, intending to bombard them with their broadside guns. But at this moment, I saw that in the gap of the large fortune ships of the Ming army, small boats sailed out.

Just as soon as he saw those boats, Anthony knew it was bad. The Dutch fleet had fought with the Ming naval division before, and the biggest loss was not the bombardment of the Ming artillery, nor the gang jumping, but the arson ships of the Ming army.

The arson boats of the Ming army are all small and fast, and there are many tricks, as long as they are hit, they will definitely not be able to get rid of the fate of being burned. Only on the wide sea is not afraid of the arson ships of the Ming army.

But......

Anthony looked at the situation on the battlefield, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, behind him was the Portuguese fleet entangled, and in the distance there were Ming warships chasing. And in front, there were so many Ming warships blocking the way, and so many arson ships were dispatched......

"Don't let the arson ships get closer, sink them!" Anthony could only order loudly, head headache, foot pain and foot pain, take one step at a time.

In fact, there was no need for him to give this military order, and the other Dutch warships knew that they must not let the Ming army's arsonist ships get close, and they opened fire one after another to try to destroy those arsonists.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Countless shells fell on the sea, stirring up waves one after another.

After the arson ship of the Ming army broke away from the large Fu ship, it began to accelerate, and the waves stirred up around the arson ship, but the soldiers of the Ming army on the arson ship did not care at all.

Suddenly, an arson boat was hit, and the bow of the ship that was hit suddenly cracked, and the hull began to flood. But don't get on the arson boat and see it, but I'm not afraid at all, what are you still doing?

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery on the ships of the Ming army also began to cover the shelling. Although the accuracy of the shelling on the warships was indeed inferior to these Dutch. I saw that most of the subway bombs fell on the western sea surface of the Dutch battleships, but there were also a few that could hit the Dutch battleships, although they could not sink the Dutch battleships with one shot, at most they only added some damage to the Dutch battleships, but they could also make the Dutch sailors scramble for a while.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Dutch, Ming and Portuguese artillery roared as part of the largest movement in the sea.

The water column is rising, the warship is damaged, and the shouting of the sailors is the most common scene at this time.

Finally, in the rain of bullets, the first Ming arson ship "bang" and collided with a Dutch battleship, the iron nails in the bow of the ship firmly nailed the battleship, soaked in flammable materials of fierce fire oil, just a little contact with a little flame, and burst into flames. It was only a moment's work, and whether it was the arson ship itself or the Dutch battleship that was rammed, it was already a fire.

The second half of the arson ship had retreated, and the Dutch sailors on the Dutch battleship did not care to kill the Ming soldiers who had no ability to resist, and they were all busy fighting the fire.

But after a while, Dutch sailors jumped out of the ship into the sea. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom", and the fire on the Dutch battleship ignited the gunpowder inside the battleship, making a huge explosion.

Looking at the situation of being surrounded, watching the Ming army arson ship desperately approach and set fire, at this time, Anthony had time to think, why, why did the Ming army suddenly appear here? Isn't it normal for them to go, right? How could they set off as soon as they saw that the wind and waves were small, and didn't they worry that they would be wiped out if the wind and waves were strong when they just went out to sea?

Also, why did they know that they would pass through here with their fleet, and they were already waiting for them here? Why, why......

This time the war was really caught off guard, and there were so many places that Anthony couldn't figure it out. He even thought for a time that it could not be a trap set by the Spaniards and the Ming Kingdom. In this way, some things are easy to explain, such as why the Ming army is waiting here.

However, if this is the case, there are many places that cannot be explained!

Did the Spaniards who went to Batavia cut their ears themselves? They slaughtered tens of thousands of Ming people on Luzon, didn't the Ming Kingdom mind at all? The Portuguese and the Ming army were mixed together, and they didn't deal with the Spaniards, why didn't the Spaniards appear?

At this moment, Anthony felt like his head was about to explode.

It's over, it's all over! Anthony cried out in his heart.

Although he saw that there were also Portuguese warships destroyed, Ming warships were hit, and their sailors were struggling on the sea, but what was it?

The Dutch fleet is finished!

At this time, Anthony could easily guess that even if there were any escapes on his side, there would not be a few, and the combined forces of Ming and Portugal would attack Manila again, and they would achieve the purpose of breaking through, and Batavia was also in their pocket. The troops, the entire South Seas, will be their sphere of influence!

However, he didn't expect that Nanyang was originally the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty. When Zheng He went to the West, he went as far as Africa, and he was respected by the Ming Dynasty! Those who dare to have confrontation will be caught and executed by the Ming Jingshi!

It was only later that Ming Jun was no longer there, and he no longer went to sea, that Nanyang was stolen by them Xiyi, and on the sea, there were only traces of their Xiyi.

While Anthony was thinking about it, his men suddenly shouted a loud voice, calling him back to his senses: "Your Excellency the Governor, the Jim has issued a banner and said that he is willing to cover the retreat of the flagship!" ”

Anthony listened, looked up, and said with a bitter smile: "How can you get out suddenly, don't you see that the Ming warship is also blocking the road!" ”

That's right, the Ming Guofu ships are all moving forward bravely, not afraid of ship destruction at all, often several of them crash into the Dutch battleships trying to break through, even if they are damaged by shelling, they don't care about the ground, they just want to leave the Dutch battleships behind!

Such a brave tactic was rarely seen in Anthony's military career. At this time, he felt the difference in the Eastern Empire. Although the warship is backward, it is not afraid of death!

Of course he didn't know that this was the first battle of the Ming army after the name was changed to the navy, and they were all united in one thought, they must fight this battle well to repay the emperor's kindness to them. Be sure to let others know that the emperor changed the water division to the navy, this is the right will!

In the distance, Lu Xiangsheng on Lubang Island put down his binoculars and said with relief: "The soldiers of this battle have finally lived up to the emperor's previous plan, and the official can rest assured!" ”

It can be said that this battle was also the first battle in which he took the initiative to go to sea. At the same time, he also understands the importance of this battle. Only by annihilating this Xiyi reinforcement will the strategic intention of each defeat be achieved, and then, to deal with Xiyi in Manila, is to catch a turtle in an urn!
