The East China Sea Fleet did its best, but after all, it was still a step too slow, and the crossbow slowly sank into the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Watch as these original subordinates desperately swim outward, but are ruthlessly swept into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool.

Huang Wu shouted with red eyes: "Beat, beat Lao Tzu hard, Lao Tzu is going to slaughter those miscellaneous pieces!" “

"Yes, General!"

Huang Wu's order spread quickly to every warship in the East China Sea with the waving of the flag.

The fleet took only half an hour, starting with the largest and fastest "Guan Yu", and eleven battleships lined up in a line at the upwind port, taking advantage of the wind to seize the T-shape.

The Dutch fleet's Hector was knocked off the corner of the ship and became entangled with the General Capture, unable to sail at all.

Turk. The sails of the Si had made a big hole and could not borrow the power of the wind, and the sailors on board were urgently remedy.

Gulas Felburg did not give the order, and neither did the Graflan and the Wit flee alone.

The East Sea Fleet approached about five hundred meters from the East India Fleet, and then the entire fleet made a sharp turn and aimed its side guns at the East India Company fleet.

The nightmare of the Dutch fleet came, nearly 20 times the artillery bombardment, and the artillery fire suddenly enveloped the entire Dutch fleet.

The East India Company warships were constantly rising from all sides.

The shells of the "Guan Yu" kept flying, and the "Hectac" was heavily damaged.

The Dutch ship "Graflan" sailed forward and fired at the "Guan Yu" and then at the "Zhang Liao".

The "Graflan" opened fire on the "Guan Yu" with some indiscretion, and this unscrupulous behavior angered Huang Wu, and he shouted: "Sink this little beast!" “

"Zhang Liao" and "Deng Zhi" flanked the "Graffran" from both sides, and the Dutch battleship was immobilized.

Occasionally, a shell hit the hull of the ship, blowing up a piece of sawdust, crossing and flying out through a large hole on the other side;

From time to time, a cannonball hit the superstructure, shattering it;

The most fatal thing is to be hit by the waterline, once hit the waterline, the sea water ferociously pours in, and soon there is a roll.

From officers to sailors, one by one they jumped into the sea with wooden barrels to escape, and Captain Iverson was killed.

Countless Dutchmen screamed, "The Graffran has sunk!" ”

Hear about the sinking of the Graflan and watch your men "dance" under artillery fire!

"Herald-" Gulas Felburg, pale as paper, shouted, "Retreat!" Tell the "Witt" to break through quickly! ”

Hit this time, "Turk. The spinnaker of the "Si" was also completely broken and drifted on the sea.

With the exception of the Witt, the other three Dutch ships have lost power.

The sea was full of burning ships, and the thick smoke obscured most of the warships, only the masts of these warships were still faint and faint under fire.

Huang Wu had foresight of this, and he ordered two oil lamps to be hung on the mast so that the East China Sea Fleet could recognize the military order in the thick smoke and continue to attack the enemy.

At this time, in order to help the "Witt" escape, the "Hecht" and the "Turk. S" is still struggling to resist.

In the response, a shell hit the pole of the ship, a thin piece of shrapnel hit Gulas Felburg, and then another shell broke his left leg and nearly tore him in two.

The squire tried to help him back into the cabin, but Gulas Felburg refused, saying: "A Dutch vice admiral should die on deck." “

As he lay dying, Gulas Felburg continued to command the battleship to resist, but died on the deck of the Hector due to blood loss.

When the commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet, Gulas Felburg, died, the Dutch fleet fell into disarray.

Five ships of the East Navy launched a siege, and the mainmast of the "Hector" fell into the water, and the backmast was also broken, and the body was riddled with holes, but it still resisted desperately.

Seeing that the "Hecht" was still resisting stubbornly, Huang Wu coldly ordered: "Sink him for me!" ”

Under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces, one shell hit the ammunition compartment of the "Hector" and detonated the gunpowder.

The thunderous roar could be heard dozens of kilometers away on Hainan Island, and in the explosion, a huge fireball rose in the Qiongzhou Strait, and the sails and corpses were thrown into the air, and then fell into the sea, and there was a dead silence all around.

The sinking of the "Hector" did not lead to the surrender of the Dutch fleet, and the fleet's "Turk. The "Si" still insisted on resisting.

"Tex. The captain of the USS, Alexander Nader, had his legs blown off, and he had the stump tied with a tourniquet and then sat himself in a chaff bucket to continue commanding, shouting, "Fire!" Fire! Keep firing! One last shell might give us a win! “

Later, he felt that he could not support himself, so he said to one of the captains: "I have lost so much blood that I can no longer continue to command, and now is the time for you to continue to command!" “。

With that, he fell headlong and never got up again.

Lost the captain of the "Turk. The "Si" refused to surrender, and the officers and men held out until the warship was beaten to a hull without masts, 120 people were killed, 150 were wounded, and about 160 officers and men from other Dutch ships were crowded on board.

An ensign named Sneijder recalled: "After a great and futile effort, the deck of our bridge, the deck of the warship, was covered with burning corpses, the front and rear of the warship were burning, and the guns were almost burning to the side of the cannon that fired the 24-pound shell, but at the side of the 36-pounder gun, the gunners seemed to be completely ignorant of the danger, and they continued to fight with all their might." “

"Hector", "Turk. After the "Si" was sunk one after another, Huang Wu found that the "Wit" had escaped.

Huang Wu hurriedly ordered the "Full Favor" to pursue, but the other East China Sea ships rushed overnight, and they were already exhausted and could not help.

The "Witt" then successfully broke through with the wind!

From morning to midnight, the brutal fighting finally stopped.

The Qiongzhou Strait, which was calm yesterday, has been transformed into a slaughterhouse, with once-mighty warships lying on the sea, some of them on fire, and the entire bay covered with corpses, bloody and wounded, and charred.

Huang Wu put down the lifeboat, picked up the surviving pirates, inspected the sea, and found that there were no pirates, so he began to treat the Dutch sailors.

In the Battle of the Qiongzhou Strait, a total of 3 battleships and 1 armed merchant ship of the Dutch fleet were destroyed, with more than 1,467 casualties.

Two ships of the East China Sea Fleet were sunk, and more than 600 casualties, including pirates, were killed, of which more than 400 were taken by the sea.

At Shi Lang's request, Huang Wu buried all the pirate corpses that could be recovered on a hill facing the strait on Hainan Island. (To be continued.) )
