The two warships, the Soria and the Princess, immediately began to return after receiving the order from the governor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The captains and other officers on these two ships did not know the battle situation very well, but when they heard that Fort Geranza had been shelled, they were all shocked and angry.

Even the Spaniards, who were as strong as their old rivals, would not dare to attack the idea of Fort Geranza, where did this gang come from?

When they learned that the Governor's order was to attack at night, they were even more unacceptable.

The mighty Dutch fleet, when will it need a sneak attack?

"The enemy's gunboat firepower is very strong, and the range is very long, and the Governor has repeatedly instructed you to approach quietly, and while they are unprepared, the two ships will fire a salvo and make a contribution with one blow!"

Hearing this, the Dutch officers on the two ships of war withdrew their contempt a little, but they still felt that the governor was about to leave his post and had become too cautious for the sake of a perfect end.

"Forget it, the Governor is about to return to China, so let's do as ordered, which can be regarded as a tribute to him."

Despite their contempt for the invading ships, the two warships were still treated strictly as if they were in regular naval warfare, as they did not want to make mistakes, otherwise the naval forces of the mighty Dutch East India Company might have made a new joke.

Under the guidance of the herald's speedboat, the two warships lowered their half-sails and quietly approached the three enemy ships on the sea.

"Are those boats?" An officer stood at the bow of the ship, holding a monocular, and in the bright moonlight, he saw three warships on the sea.

The warships of this era, because they were all wooden warships, were all tall and wide, and their appearance was very powerful, compared to the narrow and low steel warships of later generations, which were not so good-looking.

Of course, this is just the aesthetic of people in this day and age.

"It's also called a warship? Weird-looking, what kind of thing is this! ”

The Dutch officers were all full of disdain.

If the larger ship can barely be called a war ship, the two small points next to it are also called war ships?

This is simply an insult to the word "warship"!

"The Governor is old!"

"It's not just old, it's just old and confused!"

"Whisper to me! Don't let anyone hear, beware of the Governor's troubles! ”

While complaining about the Governor, they began to prepare for battle.

Everyone on deck was busy, carrying the pellets and gunpowder, cleaning the barrels one last time before the battle, and the musketeers were busy reloading their ammunition, and everything was quietly going on.

The huge Dutch warship had already been noticed by the sentinels on the Cherry, and the two of them, Erzi and Dashan, were also observing the two warships.

"Look like two warships?" Dashan put down the binoculars in his hand and asked.

The second stunned nodded incessantly: "I look like it!" It's a bit like the Dutch ships of the previous days. ”

"Do you want to report to the commander?"

"Of course we have to report it, but I think it's better to wait, if it's not an enemy ship and disturb the commander's good dreams, who knows if he will be angry with us." The second stunned man is not in fact, he still has a heart.

"How far away are they from us now? I think it's about five miles away, and if they keep coming, we'll have to report it. ”

The two Dutch ships were getting closer and closer to their target, and they were overjoyed to see that the three invading ships were still motionless.

"Be careful with me, don't let them find out what we're trying to do!"

"As soon as you get close to the enemy ship, you will immediately fill the rudder on the left and fire a salvo from the side guns!"

The distance between the two sides was constantly shrinking, and soon it was about to enter the range of artillery.

"Sure enough, it's a very amateur, and I'm unconscious when approached by our warship, this battle is really easy to fight!"

"The warship that the Governor fears is nothing more than that!"

The people on the Dutch ships became more and more relaxed.

Zhuo Shijie was woken up in his sleep.

"Commander, two suspicious ships are approaching us! Most likely a Dutch warship! ”

Zhuo Shijie was completely sleepy, got up immediately, and came to the deck.

"Holy! Sure enough, it was the type of Dutch battleship! I said, what do you all eat? Why don't I report to me in a timely manner? Zhuo Shijie was a little annoyed.

"Immediately sound the first-level battle alarm!"

"Uhhh

A piercing alarm woke everyone up.

"Enemy attack!"

"Hurry up and rush to their respective combat posts!"

Just a few minutes later, the three warships were all on standby, just waiting for Zhuo Shijie to give the order to attack.

The alarm sounded so loud that two Dutch warships a few miles away also heard the unusual sound.

"Look! The enemy seems to have discovered us! Someone shouted as he pointed to three warships in the distant sea.

The three warships, slowly turning around, were pointing their bows at their two Dutch warships.

"Full speed ahead! Full speed towards the enemy ships! ”

The two Dutch warships no longer hid their tracks and headed ahead at high speed.

Zhuo Shijie saw the two warships suddenly accelerate, and knew that the comer was not good, so he immediately ordered to open fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ……”

100-mm naval guns fired a heavy bombardment at the incoming enemy ships.

Several shells all landed on the Dutch battleship Princess, and suddenly the explosion sounded, the whole ship was hit with holes everywhere, and the Dutch crew and soldiers on board were even more dizzy, and some of them were blown into the sky before they could figure out what was going on.

"Oh my God! How can the enemy's artillery be so fierce! ”

"Not good! The warship has been greatly damaged, and I am afraid it will not last long! ”

The hull of the entire ship was badly damaged, and the hull had already begun to tilt, which was a precursor to sinking.

How had these Dutch ever seen such heavy artillery fire?

In the past, in naval battles, the two sides had to fight each other for at least several rounds, or even most of the day, to decide the winner, but now, with only one face, their ship is about to be finished.

"! Damn it! So the Governor was right! ”

With such a powerful artillery fire, is it any wonder that the Governor let them sneak attack and fight head-on? How could they have fought!

"The enemy is really strong, Captain, what are we going to do?"

The captain yelled: "Hold on! Hold on to it! Fast! Full left rudder and attack with broadside guns! Attack! ”

The Princess, which was almost paralyzed, struggled and wanted to bite each other before she died.

Another Dutch warship, the Soria, was shocked when it saw the appearance of the Princess, and hurriedly began to turn its rudder to the left, preparing for a bombardment.

Now the distance is still a little far, but they are afraid that if it is a little too late, they will not even have a chance to fire.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! The enemy's artillery stopped! ”

The Dutch noticed that the opposing ship had suddenly fallen silent after firing a few shots.

"Quick! They may be out of ammo! Let's get into the shelling position and open fire at once! ”

The Dutch finally saw a glimmer of victory.

They are busy trying to seize this line of life and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!
