After the Flying Dragon Gang fleet captured Prozhong for more than half a month, the Dutch people finally made a move, which made Zheng Zhilong and others sitting in Prozhong really breathe a sigh of relief.

The position of Puluo is certainly dangerous, but for Zheng Zhilong and them, there is also a very important problem, that is, they are deeply surrounded by various forces, and it is not easy to replenish them.

Although, there are Han fleets that come and go to Puzhong to bring some supplies, and the past merchant ships can also supply some, but after all, the Han fleet is not good to support the Flying Dragon Gang in Puluo with great fanfare, and the Flying Dragon Gang itself can't show its flaws, so it relies on these supplies and the materials they carry to support it.

Fortunately, the news spread by their own side finally made the Dutch unable to parry, and sent a large army to start a decisive battle, but let their lonely fleet not fall to the most embarrassing situation, and then fight with the other side.

"Prepare your brethren for battle!"

Lu Yi slowly stood up, stretched and said.

"Yes, after this war, the waist of our Han people in the Indonesian archipelago will be as straight as in Luzon."

Zheng Zhilong also said excitedly, the three commanders present at this time, if you want to say that the one who is most looking forward to this big battle, it is naturally Zheng Zhilong.

After this battle, as long as the Wyvern fleet defeats the Dutch fleet, then their Wyverns will really gain a foothold in the Indonesian archipelago and can start their plan to expand their territory and footsteps.

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of the twenty-third year of Chongzhen, because of the strong request of His Excellency James, the governor of the Batavian Netherlands, the Western Combined Fleet, which had not yet been assembled, took their last twenty-five warships and almost poured out of the nest to kill the area around the Strait of Malacca.

And the thirty-three warships of the Flying Dragon Gang fleet sitting in Puluo have long been recuperating, like the tiger in a cage, as soon as the master opens the gate, it will fly out and take people's lives.

Under the influence of Westerners, the pirate forces and gang organizations in the East have gradually given up their previous crowd tactics and rabble ideas over the years, at least the sea ships in their hands must be sea ships such as 400 warships to dare to do this business.

As the leader among them, powerful gangs such as the Flying Dragon Gang and the Shark Gang, the warships that are now gathered in Puluo are all the main warships in their gangs, either Western-style warships transformed from seafarers, or oriental-style seagoing ships such as centipede ships, most of which have extremely strong protection and combat effectiveness.

Therefore, to tell the truth, when it comes to the combat effectiveness of sea ships between the Eastern and Western forces, the gap between them is not very large, and if it is regarded as the five warships of Hongtang, it is even more powerful in artillery.

Of course, a Western-class battleship like the Flying Ziola, even if it is Hongtang's main warship today, is slightly inferior, unless it is the flagship of Li Tianyang and Wu Jie, it may be able to match.

However, even if the first-class battleship is placed in Europe, it is the finale of the naval strength of a kingdom, and Governor James is also due to the lineage of the Alba family, and I heard that the Indonesian waters are not very peaceful, so this is the only one such a warship from the main fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and placed in the entire Malacca sea area of Indonesia, a first-class battleship like Feixiang Ziola is the only one.

"Wow, that deepest battleship in the Dutch fleet, it's spectacular!"

Before besieging the port of Batavia, because of Colonel Lincoln's avoidance of war, and the distance was a little far, Zheng Zhilong and they did not find the specifications of the flying Ziola warship, but now it is in a fleet, and it suddenly reveals its domineering and majestic side, which makes Zheng Zhilong and Lu Yi, who are observing with binoculars, can't help but be amazed.

"It's a good ship indeed."

Shi Peicai nodded, although he also affirmed it, but as a middle- and upper-level official of the Hongtang Naval Division, he understood that now the Bengang Shipyard had already been able to build more than two thousand warships, and named this model "Qinglong Style".

It's just a pity that now as Hongmen's hegemony in the Nanyang Daming Sea area is becoming more and more stable, and the center of gravity of the Hongtang military department is gradually moving northward, the focus is more on the territory of the Chinese continent, but it is really difficult for their naval fleet to be updated as before.

However, Bengang Shipyard still built five "Qinglong-type" warships, and at the same time, in the shipyard's manufacturing plan, there are five other sea ships of the same specification being prepared for manufacturing, so when he saw this big ship, Shi Peicai's face was not surprised.

"I'll say okay first, if any of us can win this warship, then this warship will belong to whoever else, and no one else should complain afterwards!"

Before the war started, Zheng Zhilong drank Lu Yi and they had already set their sights on this behemoth, treating it as their own bag, so that Shi Peicai was not only pleased with their good psychological quality, but also worried that they would underestimate the opponent's combat effectiveness too much.

"Don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of others, just the artillery carried by this battleship, I'm afraid it can be worth three or four of your warships!"

In fact, there is no need for Shi Peicai to remind them, Zheng Zhilong and the others all have a certain understanding of the existence in front of them, which is obviously much larger than all the warships present.

As an object of learning and catching up, it is no secret that the strength planning of Westerners' naval warships is no secret, and the difference between armed merchant ships, fourth-class battleships, third-class battleships, and even first-class battleships, UU Reading Books .c Bin, even Zheng Zhilong, who is far away in Indonesian waters, is also like a mirror in their hearts.

When they saw this behemoth, Zheng Zhilong and the others had already estimated in their hearts the number of artillery pieces carried by the other party, and what type of warships should be roughly divided into.

Although they knew that this was most likely the most powerful first-class battleship among the Westerners, for Zheng Zhilong and them, they did not have no way to compete with each other, so they did not have the strength to take them.

With a long conch horn, when it sounded from the castle of Puzhong, the thirty-three warships of the Wyvern Gang docked in the deep-water dock area of Puzhong raised their sails and slaughtered the fleet on the opposite side.

"The first-class battleship will be handed over to us to deal with first, you should hurry up and deal with the other warships, and then come to encircle and suppress this warship."

Yao Siwei, the captain of the Victorious, one of the five Hongtang warships, gave tips to the rest of his companions before he went to sea, and the unique side he showed when he went to sea also won the attention of the people around him.

There were no sails hoisted, but in a thick chimney behind the mainmast, puffing puffs of gray-white smoke, but it was the steaming ship that had not yet become widespread in the Hongtang fleet.

In the Age of Discovery, the most powerful first-class battleships in the West and the most advanced steam warships in the East for the first time began their first confrontation in Indonesia, a land that connects the sea routes between the East and the West.
