The Dutch governor said that the Minwes battleship was the ace capital ship of the Netherlands, and Wei Malang and Vanderlander knew it, but such a battleship was only a second-class battleship of the Netherlands, and now the main battleship Hertock in service in Taiwan could only be regarded as a third-class battleship, so a third-class battleship could already show off its might in the East and South Seas.

Now that the ace battleship Minwes has also sailed over, it seems that their Dutch king has also invested a lot of money to compete with the Ming Navy in Taiwan, China.

Wei Marang and Vanderlaan both saw that the Minweis was larger than the Heto, the Heto was less than 60 meters long, the width of the ship was only more than 10 meters, and it was 5 meters long, with a crew of more than 340 people, a displacement of 600 tons, and more than 30 guns of various types, while the Minweis was more than 70 meters long, 13 meters wide, 6 meters in draft, 400 people, and a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.

"Sure enough, the ace battleship!" Wei Malang and Vanderan were full of praise.

"But she's not the first, she can only be second." He laughed.

"Oh?" Wei Marang and Vanderlaan looked at the new Governor in confusion.

Then Kuichi revealed to Wei Malo the news that made them even more encouraging: their Great Dutch Kingdom was spending a lot of money to build a super warship, named Bredrow, which was less than 90 meters long, less than 20 meters wide, designed to be three stories high, with a double deck, and 59 guns, all 40-pounder and 32-pounder, which was the real sea king.

Wei Malang and the others nodded while listening, looking forward to the huge ship being built and sailing over quickly, but as soon as he said the last sentence, Wei Malang and Van der Laan, He Bin and Guo Huaiyi did not dare to agree, they looked at each other with a puzzled expression, and then Wei Malang said first, "Lord Governor, the Ming army has a huge lineup of sailors, among which the Yangwei is 150 meters long, 60 meters wide, and four stories high, like a sea fortress, our Bredrow is slightly inferior in size and firepower......"

When Wei Malang said this, this arrogant and unstoppable Ji Yi also looked incredible, he couldn't believe that there was such a huge ship in the world? He thought it was impossible, but Wei Malang was right, and these people said that they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

But then he smiled contemptuously, "The Prime Minister is Your Excellency, what if there are many shipowners?" Is it possible that its speed and range are better than ours? In addition, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and the area of our Kingdom of the Netherlands is very small, and the Hidden Kingdom, France, Spain, and Portugal, which is not much larger than us, but what is the result? ”

The traitor He Bin hurriedly patted the horse, "The Governor's judgment is incisive, the soldiers are fine but not many, and the soldiers will be planning but not brave, hahaha......"

As he spoke, they all looked at each other and laughed.

A few days later, the battle report came, and a large number of warships of the Ming army really left the mainland and sailed towards them, aiming at the Penghu Islands.

Wei Malang of the Red Embedded City immediately gathered the generals to meet the enemy, of course they knew that Penghu was the gateway to Taiwan, and they must not lose it, Wei Malang asked Yu Yi to personally sit in Penghu and garrison Penghu, more than 500 warships and 400 ships were dispatched by the governor, and He Bin and Guo Huaiyi were the deputy generals. Ordered his assistant Van der Laan to lead the rest of his troops and horses to guard the castle and the forts on the shore to prevent the Ming army from landing.

After receiving the order, with two traitor assistants, he gathered 12,000 sailors with a total of 400 large and small warships, including two capital ships, the Mingweis and Hetok, and lined up in the Penghu Islands, waiting for the sailors of the Ming army.

They climbed high and looked into the distance, and when they could see through the telescope that the black and oppressive Ming warships were lined up on the sea, the governor had a smug smile on his face, "It's a good time!" ”

He immediately ordered He Bin and Guo Huaiyi to go into battle, with the main battleship Hertok as the leader to form a 200-ship battleship formation, to meet the enemy head-on, and to disrupt the Ming army's camp. The two battleship formations totaled 10,000 troops, and the remaining 2,000 troops defended the island.

He is worthy of being the governor of the Dutch army, and he is well organized and seamless.

After He Bin and Guo Huaiyi received the order, they immediately led the battleship formation of the Hetok from the calm lake to the rough sea. Two hundred Dutch warships, large and small, formed a battle formation to meet the Ming naval division.

He Bin and Guo Huaiyi were both Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, and they were also one of the eighteen Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhifeng (Zheng Hongkui) and Zheng Zhiguan kowtowed, and now they betrayed their original oath, not only treacherously left Zheng Zhilong, but also left the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to the Dutch red hair, and became a shameful traitor.

Because of their strong martial arts and proficient in water warfare, these two people have been appreciated by Wei Malang and Van der Laan here, and their official positions have been sealed, and now the two of them have a prominent position in the Taiwan group of the Dutch East Magic Country Company, and they are second only to Wei Marang, Van der Laan and Governor Kuiyi, the three Dutch red-haired people, and they are also very powerful, and they feel that they are well mixed, at least much stronger than under Zheng Zhilong, so they are also determined to be traitors.

In this Penghu naval battle, the commander-in-chief Yu Yi also entrusted two people with important tasks, He Bin and Guo Huaiyi were also a little flattered, and secretly determined that they must fight this battle well, and they must not live up to the respect and love of these Dutch red hairs.

In addition, he also knew that Zheng Zhilong's group and the Ming Dynasty must have hated him, Zheng Zhilong had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they were united, and this time they were going to be defeated or fall into their hands, these two people knew that there would definitely be no good end, and they also knew that treachery and being traitors were intolerable.

So the two men boarded the majestic Hertock and ordered the captain to speed up.

With the main battleship Hertok as the center, the rest of the battleships were left or right, front or back, pulling up their sails to ride the wind and waves. Pieces of white sails are like white clouds in the sky, majestic warships are like small castles moving on the sea, and 200 Dutch warships sail on the vast sea, and the scene is also very spectacular......

Zheng Chenggong, the young prince of Nan'an, led 100,000 Ming army sailors out of Kinmen Island for a hundred nautical miles, and through the telescope, he could forget the Penghu Islands in the distance, large and small islands were like pearls scattered in the sea, Zheng Chenggong knew that he was not far from the target.

He gave an order, 100,000 naval divisions and more than 1,000 warships, and soon divided into three naval division battleship formations, 300 warships headed by Shi Lang, with a total of 20,000 horses as the left flank to attack the direction of Baisha Island, and 300 warships headed by Liu Guoxuan were also 20,000 horses as the right flank to attack the direction of Xiyu Island, and the remaining more than 400 warships, the main force of the Chinese army to attack the main island of Zhongtun Island and Penghu Island, which are the largest in area.

The Penghu Islands are archipelagos, composed of more than 90 small islands of all sizes, with a total area of nearly 130 square kilometers, but there are only four largest islands, namely the main island of Penghu, Baisha Island, Xiyu Island, Zhongtun Island, etc., these islands are enclosed in an unclosed circle, the sea water inside is as calm as a mirror, and the waves outside are surging, and the name of Penghu is also derived from this.

Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan all grew up by the sea since childhood, and they are all Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, and they are very familiar with Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu, these islands, so Lin Yi knows people well, and let them three generals focus on the Penghu Islands, which is the gateway to Taiwan. They also formed an indissoluble bond with these islands, without these islands, their fame would not have come from, what Ming and Zheng periods of famous generals, Kangxi era of famous ministers and generals, everything is impossible to talk about.

"Young Lord, the red-haired battleship was found in front!"

Zheng Chenggong got the report, and immediately picked up the telescope and stood on the bow of the boat, and sure enough, countless dots of white in the lens had moved towards them, and it was estimated that the distance between the two sides was more than ten miles.

"Tell Shi Lang and Liu Guoxuan that according to the original battle plan, they will immediately prepare to meet the enemy."

"No." The herald said yes and ran away.

The soldiers on the hundreds of battleships of the Ming Army's naval division immediately got busy, knowing that a bloody battle was just around the corner, and they each performed their duties and responsibilities, checked the artillery, muskets, ammunition, etc., again, and prepared for firing, and the rest of the armies, arrows, knives, spears, and instruments were all ready for battle......

"The two commanders, the Ming Army's naval divisions are menacing and overwhelming, they are divided into three formations and three directions, how can we meet the enemy?" There was a red hairman who came to ask He Bin and Guo Huaiyi on the main battleship of the Hetok.

These two traitors also held binoculars and kept looking at the vast sea in front of them, of course, they had already noticed the countless Ming warships coming in the distance, so many Ming army sailors came at once, it seems that there are not 100,000 or the same, it seems that this time the people who are not good at coming do not come, and the two traitors are not optimistic at this time.

Because they know that in the Battle of Kinmen more than 20 years ago, these invincible Hongmaozi battleships were severely taught a lesson by Zheng Zhilong's navy, and they were also present at that time, but they were not on Hongmaozi's side, but on Zheng Zhilong's side, I hope this time it will not be repeated yesterday. They can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and they know that the variables of war are too great, and they cannot only look at the surface, nor can they look at the experience, let alone listen to only one side, but also look at the final result.

At this time, hearing Hongmaozi ask this, the two put down the binoculars in their hands, looked at each other and nodded to each other, He Bin said to Hongmaozi: "Your Excellency the Governor asks us to meet the enemy head-on and bite these sailors of the Ming army, so as to win time for them to go around behind enemy lines, so of course we have to attack in an all-round way, and we will also divide into three ways, and we must destroy them on the sea." ”

Subsequently, the 200 Dutch warships were divided into three battle formations, left, center and right, and came to meet the Ming army's three-way naval division.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Reaching the range of artillery, both sides gave such an order almost simultaneously.

"Knock knock...... Boom, boom, boom......"

The earth-shattering cannon sound is endless, the original calm sea surface of the sky-rushing water column rises and falls, in the blink of an eye, several warships were hit, there are Ming army and Dutch red hair, some warships under the fierce artillery attack, hit several shells on the spot disintegrated, some overturned in the sea, some caught fire, the ship's military crew was blown up on all sides, some were full of fire rushed to the sky, some cut down the sea, the water on the boat, screams, fire shouts, the sound of struggle in the water, stirred together, this vast sea area suddenly became lively.
