Provencha, also known as red embedding. It is an important military fortress built by the Dutch East India Company on Dayuan Island. The fortress and the nearby castle of Geranza were the nucleus of the Dutch colonizers.

With a huge belly, Johannes was already bare on his head. Governor Ichi stood on the thick walls of the castle and looked up at the dark night sky with an inexplicable expression.

At this time, it was already late autumn, and the crescent moon hung in the dark night in the sky. The lights of the castle soaked the night sky, dissolving the black canopy into a transparent amber color.

Governor Ichi was in a very bad mood at the moment, and it could even be said that he was extremely bad. The tremendous pressure of the mountain rain made him exhausted and depressed for a long time.

Last time, the Governor of the East India Company was deceived by Nicholas, and almost all of the East India Company's maritime mobile forces were buried in the tragic naval battle in Jiaozhou Bay. This includes the warships of the Governor of Governor-General.

After this last incident, the Ming Empire blocked all transactions with the Dutch. As long as they dare to appear in the place under the control of the Ming Mansion, they will inevitably be arrested immediately. After that, like those unlucky ghosts who were captured in the naval battle of Jiaozhou Bay, they were hanged on the long wooden stakes by the sea on the charge of piracy. Until it is blown into a filthy and dilapidated skeleton by the sea breeze.

The East India Company's risky investment cost nothing in Jiaozhou Bay and cost it a lot. When the tragic news reached the board of directors in Amsterdam, the seventeen-member board of directors who were furious and stormed the table on the spot, and they were about to send someone to the Spice Islands to arrest Governor Cohen and return to the Netherlands for trial.

Fortunately, Governor Cohen has been in close control of the growing East India Company for many years, and his command is strong. The board members who were far away on the continent were also helpless against him. However, this incident still left Governor Cohen anxious.

When the news of the fiasco broke, the English, Spaniards, and Portuguese all gloated over the Dutch East India Company. Loot their trading strongholds. At the same time, plundering sea vessels.

Beating up a reservoir dog is something everyone loves to do. The strength of the East India Company had long since displeased these people. Now that there is such a good opportunity, who will not do it?

Fortunately, Governor Cohen was a visionary, even in the worst of the circumstances. He still sent reinforcements to Dayuan Island, which was in the most dangerous position. A force of eight hundred and thirty soldiers and the Hector with the S. Reinforcements from the two 2nd class battleships of the Graflan came to reinforce them.

In addition to the two remaining Galen ships in the hands of the Governor of Kuiyi, the 700 soldiers stationed on Dayuan Island, and the more than 2,000 native troops of the South Seas. At least in his eyes, such a defensive force is already extremely strong on the Nanyang side.

It was not that the Governor had not sent intelligence agents to the opposite continent to find out the details of the terror fleet.

It's just that. It wasn't long before the Dutch and natives were hung on wooden stakes by the sea to blow the wind. Most of the Ming people who worked for them also did not return, and the few who came back were completely lying about the military situation.

Those people actually said that the Ming Imperial Navy on the other side had hundreds of battleships!

This lie is simply too perfunctory. Now the battleships of all the countries of Europe combined are estimated at less than a hundred. These crooks who only ask for silver coins have no talent for weaving lies!

The Governor of the Empire has participated in the battle with the Ming Navy!

The backward navy of the Ming Empire didn't even have ships of more than six hundred tons! They fought by relying entirely on numerical superiority and using dastardly arsonist ships to intimidate! Where will there be hundreds of battleships?!

The Governor ordered the slammers to be beaten up without common sense. After punishing them, he threw all the crooks into a dungeon that never saw the light of day. After that, the reconnaissance of the Ming Navy was over.

It's just that the heart of the governor is still not at peace. He didn't know how the fleet sent to Jiaozhou Bay had been defeated. for no one who was alive fled back. But in his heart, he was very sure that the Ming navy that had won the battle would inevitably come here!

The Governor had been waiting anxiously for this day to come.

Just thinking of the almost endless army of the navy opposite, the Governor felt a great pain in his bare head. He was the Grand Governor, and he was responsible for the place, and for the shareholders of the East India Company.

"Forget it." The Governor raised his hand and touched his shiny head. Smelling the fishy sea breeze between his mouth and nose, he shook his head and turned around and walked towards his official residence.

He now needed to call those Japanese Ji girls over to relieve the indescribable boredom in his heart.

At the time when Governor Koichi was engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat with several Japanese women in his official residence. On the surface of the sea just a few dozen nautical miles away from the city of Provencha. A fleet so large that no country on this planet can match it is heading this way!

The Governor was soon losing his job. Maybe you will lose your own life at the same time. Gao Yang has always left a trace of affection for his subordinates. But these adventurers, made up of beggars, criminals, bankrupts, and hooligans, will not be merciful!

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

It won't be long before this gentle sea will be stained red with endless blood!

......

“zak！ (Son of a bitch, bastard!) Governor Ichi, whose eyes were dark, his legs fluttering, and his cheeks visibly thin, was woken up by the shrill sound of the alarm bell. With a bare buttocks, he put on a coat and ran up to Lingbao. Then his narrow goldfish eyes instantly opened as large as a bull's eye, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body trembled and came out with such a sentence.

What appeared in front of him at this time was a huge fleet that had already covered the entire sea off Heliao Port!

"God!" The Governor raised his hand tremblingly, rubbed his eyes fiercely, and muttered in disbelief, "There really are hundreds of battleships?!" They didn't lie to me......"

Suddenly turned around. Chiguo wears the lower half of his body, with his chest open. With a chest full of dense chest hair, the Governor shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Go to the dungeon and release all those loyal and brave intelligence officers!" And they were right! ”

It didn't take long for the sky to light up. The warm sun was still half hanging in the eastern sky. There was a faint layer of morning mist on the surface of the sea, and the golden morning sun penetrated the morning fog to reflect the incomparably mighty fleet flying the sun, moon and dragon flags in the distance.

The Hector is moored at Heliao Harbor. This. The Dutch fleet, consisting of the Grafland and the two Galen ships, panicked and hoisted their sails, preparing to leave port to escape a fleet that they could barely defeat.

When I saw the fleet of the Ming Navy. The Governor finally understood. Why can't any of the fleets sent to Jiaozhou Bay to help Nicholas come back? Who can run away in front of such a fleet ?!

After nearly half an hour of panic, the Dutch fleet, completely unprepared, finally hoisted its sails. After that, he panicked and threw himself into a naval battle that was almost impossible to win.

It wasn't that these sailors were so brave and fearless that they would risk their lives for the East India Company. But they knew very well in their hearts that if they stayed in the harbor, they would definitely die. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Ming fleet in the open sea has not yet blocked the port and rushes out, this is their only way to live!

It's just that. How could Gao Yang possibly give them a chance to escape?

Before the Dutch fleet had even burst out of the harbor, a dense thunderous roar of artillery fire sounded wildly on the sea!

The sea on which the Ming fleet was located was almost completely enveloped in thick smoke from shelling. Countless dots of orange-red light flickered in the smoke. It was a sight that drove all the Dutch in Provencha Castle into despair.

"How is it possible to shoot so far?! What kind of artillery is that?! The Governor put his head in his hands. A look of disbelief on his face. He had never seen an artillery gun with such a long range!

Precision weapons produced in modern time and space. Where could a backward primitive man like him understand? What is there to fuss about with this range.

There are just too many shells!

In the history of modern time and space, when Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan. The Dutch fleet managed to break through three ships, and only one Hector was besieged by hundreds of ships. It towed nearly seventy warships and thousands of lives before it was finally sunk.

But at this moment, besieged by so many warships, dense shells swarmed like heavy rain. The four ships were almost completely obscured by the splash of seawater. In a short period of time, they were hit one after another, sawdust and debris flew wildly, and the ship was on fire.

The first thing to end up with was the two Galen ships.

The tonnage of these two armed merchant ships was relatively small, and the work of raising sails and anchors was relatively fast, so they were also the first to rush out. The same. They were also the first to be hit intensively.

When the Ming fleet outside the harbor began to turn, revealing its own sideboard full of black holes. The captains began to shout God in a loud voice.

Dense and scorching shells pierced the sky and flew in, slamming down on the hull of the ship. That tremendous impact almost completely shredded the side of the Galen ship facing the Ming fleet!

Where could an armed merchant ship, having lost almost half of its hull, withstand such a blow? Soon it turned on its side and gradually sank into the water. The sailors who did not escape in time all sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish and shrimp.

Following the Hector and S. The bearded captain of the Graflan looked at the scalp tingling. Cold hands and feet. They wanted to turn the bow of the ship and rush to the shore to run aground. But it's too late. A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
