As the Hongtang warships demonstrated their artillery skills, the next scene was the scene of the entire Wyvern Gang combined fleet firing a hundred cannons.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong is not stupid enough, with this last new force, the meaning of attacking the port of Batavia strongly, they know very well that on the territory that the Dutch have been operating for decades, with their more than 30 warships and 5,000 sailors, it can be said that the probability is very small if they want to conquer this port with more than 100,000 people.

However, this did not prevent them from attacking and destroying more than a dozen warships and dozens of merchant ships and fishing boats that had cowered in the harbor.

Colonel Lincoln is now in a dilemma, sending out the fleet in the harbor, losing the protection of these batteries in the harbor, and the fleet of the Wyverns can chase this ill-formed opponent to launch a ferocious attack.

The shelling of the five warships before was actually telling themselves in disguise that the elite of their Han fleet had never been worse than the Far Eastern Naval Division of the Netherlands.

In this way, without an advantage in quantity and quality, the fleet that Colonel Lincoln had managed to assemble would be entangled and pursued by Colonel Lincoln until it was routed and sunk by him.

And letting the warship dock in the harbor can certainly maintain a temporary stability, and the other side does not dare to shoot too closely, otherwise it may become the target of countless artillery pieces on the shore and suffer a heavy blow.

However, according to the Wyvern fleet, the blind cat encountered the same way as the dead mouse, although with the accuracy of their artillery fire, most of the artillery shells could not reach most of the ships docked in the harbor; Moreover, in order to avoid danger, the ships docked in the harbor had already sent someone to convey instructions to the Wyvern Gang to disperse and dock as much as possible before the Wyvern entered the team and opened fire on the sea, which made the Wyvern Gang more likely to fire indiscriminately.

However, the Wyvern Gang fired recklessly on the sea, even if the hit rate was low, when there were enough shells, it would be predictable that the ships would be sunk one after another.

Emotions such as grievance and anger did not affect Colonel Lincoln's mind, although there were not many means they could use at this time, and one by one the ships in the harbor were unfortunately shot, but Colonel Lincoln completely ignored these scenes, just focused on watching the Wyvern Gang fleet on the sea, what else could they play.

"Yo, that's a lot of composure!"

Lu Yi admired the city government of the commander opposite, and now they were bullied by their Flying Dragon Gang like this, but they didn't react at all, so they were passive defense, which made Zheng Zhilong and them a little embarrassed.

"What's next?"

Before, because Hongmen did not send troops, Shi Peicai's voice was not very high except for making plans, but now that Hongtang sent five warships to support Zheng Zhilong, it made Zheng Zhilong and them pay more attention to Shi Peicai's opinion, which is quite a bit of a horse's head.

"There are three ways in front of us now, one is to continue to press the other party like this, until the other party can no longer bear the loss and pressure, and then take the initiative to go to sea to fight with us."

"The second is that we will directly land and attack, with our current strength, to attack the port of Batavia, although it is not impossible to succeed, but in terms of losses, I think you two need to be mentally prepared."

"Then there is to find another target, or simply surround the point to send reinforcements, just a stalemate with the Dutch, and then come to a fleet of Westerners who speak outright about them, let's fight one until no one dares to come to support, then the other party will completely lose external supply channels in disguise."

Three choices were placed in front of them, so that Zheng Zhilong and they could not choose, after all, which choice had advantages and disadvantages for them.

If they really want to have the strength of Hongtang's main fleet, they can no longer be so entangled, but face off head-on with a magnificent division, so that all the Europeans surrender and lose in the hands of themselves and others.

"Then Captain Yishi, what should we do?"

Zheng Zhilong and they had no choice, so they could only look at Shi Peicai again.

"Actually, in my opinion, we have another choice, that is, to attack the Yellow Dragon, attack the enemy and save it, and then crush the opponent's fleet in one fell swoop."

Shi Peicai actually had a plan in his heart, and this plan was still from the hands of dozens of colleagues in the Hongtang Military Department's Aircraft Department, and the chances of success were naturally self-evident.

But Shi Peicai was hiding until this time, but he also took classes, this plan was not only bold, but it was also not necessarily easy for Zheng Zhilong and them to accept.

"Head Shi, don't sell it, it's better to plan it, just take it out and let us see!"

Seeing Shi Peicai's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Lu Yi slapped the table with a bit of complaint, and asked him for advice.

"You see, this is a map of the Indonesian archipelago and the Kingdom of Malacca, although we can't draw all the islands one by one because of the complex geographical environment, but in this map, you should be able to see the choke point that controls this sea."

With Shi Peicai's guidance on words, Zheng Zhilong, two veterans with a lot of battlefield experience, involuntarily turned their eyes to the narrow strait on the map, and the island that existed like a fortress at the mouth of the strait-Puluozhong.

"You mean, let's turn the bow of the ship and attack Prozhong directly?"

Zheng Zhilong looked overjoyed, and couldn't help but blame himself for why he didn't think of this!

"Yes, what is the geographical superiority of Puzhong, I guess you don't need to explain it as an outsider, you should know the importance!"

"Mastering Puzhong means mastering the entire channel of communication between the East and the West, and the reason why the Dutch people are so powerful in the Indonesian archipelago is because they have mastered the extension of the strait in Puzhong, which really annoys them, and they use this fortress as a fortress, and it is just a matter of simplicity to blockade the Strait of Malacca."

"If we turn around and attack Prozhong and occupy it, do you think the Dutch will be in a hurry and lead their unassembled fleet to a decisive battle with us?"

"That's for sure!"

Zheng Zhilong, a Han man, slapped his thigh and couldn't help but make a judgment excitedly.

"When the time comes, let's wait for our work and defeat this main fleet of Westerners, so the entire Indonesian archipelago will not be left to our gallop?"

Lu Yi continued to fantasize excitedly, but Zheng Zhilong on the side gradually regained his composure and began to carefully calculate the possibility that their plan could be realized.
