But the other two battleships were not so lucky.

The beginning was also very smooth, the wounded battleships of the Dutch were slow, and the two battleships of the girder easily caught the enemy ships one after the other. Half an hour later, the Dutch, probably feeling that there was no hope of escape, raised a white flag and surrendered.

The Beams let their guard down, and the battleship at the stern of the Dutch accelerated slightly, came to the side of the Dutch, lowered a few small boats, and carried sailors and soldiers, intending to take control of the Dutch warship. But just as the boat was entering the water, the Dutchman's sidestring guns suddenly opened fire. First the lower guns hit the waterline, then the middle guns hit the belly, and finally the deck guns fired at the deck of the girder battleship.

The Dutch did this deliberately, as the deck guns on the lower two decks used solid shells to destroy the hull of the girder battleship, while the deck guns used flowering shells to kill and injure the sailors and soldiers on the girder battleship. At the same time, the Dutch's bow guns began to fire on a girder battleship still ahead of them, and at the same time opened its half-folded sails and began to turn around in an attempt to face the girder battleship with its side chord.

The girders battleship that was hit instantly lost its combat capability. Not only were the two wheels on one side destroyed, nearly forty sailors and soldiers on board were wounded or killed, but five holes were punched in the hull, and the raging sea roared into the cabin.

Even though their ship had more than a dozen watertight compartments, one cannonball hit the position of the watertight compartment, and the distance between the two sides was only thirty paces, and the huge momentum of the solid bullet broke the watertight compartment as well, so they damaged six watertight compartments.

This caused their ship to sink rapidly, and when the captain learned of the damage, he had to order the sailors to hurry up and drag the dead and wounded onto the boat, and had to give the order to abandon the ship in grief. Even so, while the battleship was sinking, while their companions were rescuing and transporting the wounded, the uninjured soldiers spontaneously rushed to the position of the catapult and fired one revenge pot after another at the despicable Dutch.

But these people are basically soldiers from other positions, and the ship is sinking, and they are fighting in great hatred, so the hit rate is not high. It was the girder battleship in front of the Dutch battleship, which fired fire cans and flowering shells that caused some damage to the cunning Dutch. However, the Dutch battleships were turning, and the girder battleships in front of them, in order to avoid the powerful sidestring guns of the Dutch, also began to accelerate and turn, to go around in a larger circle, to go to the rear of the Dutch to continue the battle. After all, there is a rudder bar in the stern, and if it is interrupted by the enemy, it loses the ability to turn the direction, which will be more dangerous.

At the same time, Zhang Han heard the fierce sound of artillery. He didn't use a telescope to see that one of his warships had been hit, and it looked like he couldn't save it. He didn't know at this time that the Dutch had surrendered, but his soldiers had already boarded the surrendered Dutch ship, and in order to prevent accidents, he had once again sent additional men to make sure that the Dutch on board would not produce any moths.

At the same time, he ordered the uninjured battleships to rush to reinforcements. And in the distance, the five support ships that were monitoring the two Dutch warships that were about to sink also sent three reinforcements. By this time they had taken back the returning gunpowder clippers and loaded the bow with spare gunpowder bows, and they were going to avenge their comrades.

The direction of movement of the Dutch battleship was exactly close to that of four gunpowder clippers loitering in the distance. The soldiers on the powder ship saw what was happening, and the cunning Dutch actually surrendered and wounded one of their own ships, and they immediately began to charge, wanting to avenge the dead and wounded comrades.

However, the Dutch at this time are probably in the same mood. The Chinese also fought without declaring a war, and when they suddenly attacked, they were also fighting with a sense of anger. Coincidentally, the direction of the girder explosion ship happened to be the side that had not fired artillery, and the guns on this side were all loaded with ammunition, which just saved time and directly adjusted the angle of the artillery. However, for this kind of high-speed moving small target, the most important thing is to see luck.

At this time, in a gun window on the lower deck, a drain and soldiers nervously passed buckets to pour out the seawater that had been brought up from the bottom warehouse. Their damaged parts have been successfully plugged, but the speed of the ship carrying more than ten tons of seawater is naturally greatly reduced. Minimizing the load is especially important for them to escape their lives. Of course, if it were not for the success of plugging the leak in their cabin, they would not have risked firing at the sinister Chinese, after all, no one would want to continue to live.

The soldiers on the powder ship paddled the pulp as fast as they could, while the helmsman nervously adjusted his direction, completely ignoring the occasional enemy bullet that flew overhead or exploded in close proximity. One of the powder ships was hit, which instantly turned into fragments, and the soldiers on board were thrown into the sea, and the other three ships continued to pound quickly, without the slightest impression. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the enemy ship, the soldiers were making the final preparations, and even the soldiers of an explosives ship pulled the firing pipe in advance, and as soon as the ship nailed the enemy ship, they immediately fled in one boat.

There was a loud bang, and before the Dutch could throw a flowering bomb to attack the explosive ship, a large hole was blown out, and the sailors in the bottom warehouse began to work intensively to plug the leak again. On the other two powder ships, the soldiers on one were all shot down into the water by two shells thrown by the Dutch without detonating, and the other one, although they were also patronized by a flowering bomb, Gu Asan, who was seriously injured, still used his last strength to tear off the firing rope, and finally caused fatal damage to the enemy ship.

Because their position was very close to the position where the enemy ship was damaged last time, this explosion not only opened a new hole for the enemy ship, but also shook the hole that had just been blocked again. As a result, the Dutch warship had three breaches at the same time, the sea water rushed in, the ship sank rapidly, and the pressure of the sea water was so great that the Dutch sailors could no longer plug the holes.

The Dutch on board knew that their battleship was about to sink, so they no longer tried in vain to rescue, and they all rushed to get into the boat, or it was important to escape. Those who did not take a place in the dinghy jumped into the sea with barrels and planks, and no one knew how long they would float in the sea, and without the slightest aid, they would surely die. As for the Chinese punishing them, they don't have time to think about it, and they can live for a while.

After a while, the ships of the beams and sailors who had gathered around them first released their small boats to rescue their own comrades, and the Dutch, who tried to slip away in small boats at sea, were naturally not spared. An auxiliary ship chased after them, and without any superfluous movements, directly knocked over all the Dutchmen's boats, and could not let them escape.
