***************************************************************************
Vice Admiral Lemo and Sir Huck of the Netherlands wanted to leave Jiangnan and return to Malacca, and now they had almost nothing to ask for.
The losses in Taiwan were compensated by Zheng Zhilong's large amount of gold and silver, and they also received a few muskets and several intact chariots, as well as commercial goods such as bicycles and fans.
In the words of Sir Huck: "Lemo, look, we are rich, and if we bring these few things back to Europe, we will be rich." Think about it, dear Lemo, how much are their patents worth? ”
But Lemo sighed and said, "It's a pity! That Zheng is a crazy guy, and he's going to borrow our ship to transport troops to Fujian for them! If it weren't for this incident, we might already be on our way back to Malacca. Do you put those things away? I really don't understand, why don't you put those things on my battleship? ”
Huck shook his head and said, "Your battleships are big, but they are too slow, and if we encounter an attack by the British, your battleships will not be able to escape, so I put them on a clipper ship that I asked for from Zheng." I installed a drive unit of 600 men on that ship, believing that if I tried to escape, the British warship would not be able to catch up.
Lemo was obviously very pleased with this arrangement, and he shook his head and said, "Oh, you are such a crazy hack, you can fit the drive of six hundred people in such a small boat, it's amazing, etc...... Let me guess...... You've dismantled all the crew cabins and you don't have any cannons! What else? Dear Sir Sir can you tell me? ”
Huck smirked: "Of course, it's a small but fast ship, I dismantled everything that could be dismantled, and added a steering wheel and folding masts, soft sails, etc., these things that Orientals don't understand yet." And most importantly I hid it and brought it into the fleet as long as we left. In addition, I agree with you, we are preparing to leave, and if we don't leave, I'm afraid that revenge will come! ”
Listening to Huck's words, Lemo was deeply satisfied, yes, there is nothing more important than making a fortune yourself, and now it is just a matter of leaving this war-torn place.
"When...... While...... When the voice of the alarm sounded one after another, as if affirming his thoughts. The two elated guys in the cabin were taken aback.
They looked at each other and muttered, "Oh! Oh my goodness, here they are! ”
Then Lemo screamed wildly and ran out of the cabin.
Most of the warships of the Dutch Navy led by Zheng Zhilong and Vice Admiral Lemo were parked on the coast northeast of Shaoxing, where they could intercept the enemy's invasion at sea, and even if they were defeated, it was a good place to run.
However, the facts tell them what they are facing this time.
Ascending to the stern of the commanding ship, Lemo stretched out his monoculars, and what he saw was something that surprised him greatly.
The battleship that can run fast without sails is just like the previous warships of the Shenzhou Army, but the appearance is more peculiar and the speed is more amazing. The 30-meter-long hulls of the small Fury Tide-class frigates that had suffered a loss not long ago were driven by 100 horsepower, and the cumbersome manpower and sail drive systems were removed, and now their speed was indeed somewhat amazing. However, they can only carry two gas generators, which is the disadvantage that they cannot travel long distances.
"Oh my God, what kind of monsters are these! Look at their speed, it's eighteen knots! Lemo understood that such a thing could not be pursued by his battleships, and gave the order as he exclaimed: "The fleet spreads out in a defensive formation along the coast!" ”
This is Lemo's wisdom, he put on a defensive formation to defend the coast, and the meaning to Zheng Zhilong is very clear, we do not plan to participate in the battle at sea, you can deal with the things you provoke yourself!
Although the Qing army and navy trained by Zheng Zhilong are poorly equipped compared with the Western navy, their courage is much stronger than that of these foreign devils in the influence of China's military atmosphere.
The warships of the Qing army, which had been waiting for the Qing army since receiving the "letter to the compatriots in the south of the Yangtze River" on the shore, untied their cables with the sound of the "golden drums" and rushed towards the sea according to Zheng Zhilong's orders, and soon formed a small plum blossom-shaped formation and began to seize the upper hand in sailing.
Huang Kehui obviously didn't intend to give them a chance, forming the "Plum Blossom Array" that Zheng Zhilong was best at, and thirty small and flexible "Fury Tide-class" frigates rushed to attack first.
They are like a school of tuna, jumping out of the sea from time to time, and the shells of the 60mm raindrop cannon in 1648 are like a heavy rain to meet the plum blossom formations of the Qing army.
Almost instantly, each cannon was fired rapidly at a rate of 6~10 rounds per minute, which was also a plum blossom array, and the Qing army artillery not only had insufficient firing distance, but also could not compare with the catamaran with excellent seakeeping performance. And one salvo of a plum blossom of the Shenzhou Army is a dense bombardment of 500 shells, if you add rocket artillery, the firepower density is definitely not something that a small cluster of Qing troops can afford.
The warships of the Qing army, let alone forming a plum blossom array, were almost impossible to even form, and soon the small "plum blossoms" became messy under the effective attack of thirty Furytide-class frigates. Several successive attacks of the Fury Tide class caused at least 60 warships of the Qing army to ignite a sky-high fire.
Just when the Qing warships felt that they could no longer support them, these hateful little demonic warships finally left.
They were going back to the supply ship in the back to replenish the shells, knowing that such an efficient way of playing was really amazing for the consumption of ammunition.
The Qing warship, which had just breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sail to form a plum blossom array, only then did it find that the departure of the little devil was not a lucky thing, because the "big demon" came out.
At a distance of nearly two thousand meters, fifteen cruisers fired only one salvo to completely disintegrate the courage of the Qing army. The facts tell them that the people with big pigtails are only suitable for hunting and herding sheep in the mountains and forests, and if they have to go to the sea to compete, they will end up with nothing more than dead fish!
All this stunned Vice Admiral Lemohai. He had thought that these Qing warships would lure the enemy into front of his strong defensive formation and let his artillery bombard. But when he saw the other side firing from a distance of two thousand meters, he thought that this was a very stupid act, especially since these battleships, which had spread out their defensive formations and were now almost unable to maneuver, were purely live targets.
