Chapter 44: The Capture of the Ship
The Dutch never expected that the enemy would attack from the beach behind them, and they were taken by surprise one by one. And the muskets in their hands were far less effective than long knives and bamboo spears in close combat, and the eight Dutchmen were put into six in an instant, and the remaining two knelt on the ground when they saw that the situation was not good, and raised their muskets high, and they were about to surrender.
"Yikes!" Chen Sheng shouted and stabbed a bamboo spear into the abdomen of the Dutchman kneeling in front of him, and the other Dutchman who knelt and surrendered was so frightened that he got up and ran, and before he could run two steps, he felt a pain in his heart and the strength of his body disappeared, and he turned his head hard, and saw Jin Yufei pull out the long knife from his back with an expressionless face.
In that room, Mao Eighteen had already led people to fight with the Javanese natives.
The discipline of the indigenous Javanese is far less strong than that of the Dutch, and the harassment of Mao 18 and others all night made them tired, and Mao 18 and others did not attack them once, which made the Javanese feel that this time it was just the same harassment as before, and no one would get up to meet the enemy, until the sound of gunfire at the beach position, no one realized that something was wrong. However, they didn't know that the Dutch had been attacked by Ren Siqi and others, but they instinctively looked towards the stone cliff and found that many dark shadows were running over.
With a bang, one of the Javanese natives opened fire, and the other Javanese natives were also awakened and grabbed their muskets in a panic.
The Javanese fire also revealed their position, and Mao 18 attacked them with men. After Ren Siqi and others killed all the Dutch, they also followed the sound of fighting to attack the Javanese.
Under the attack from both sides, the Javanese were quickly defeated, and nearly twenty Javanese were killed, even if someone surrendered, they would inevitably die, and the Ming people had already killed red eyes.
"Finally won!" Seeing that there were no more enemies standing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the beach gasping for breath, completely ignoring the fact that the beach below them had just been soaked with blood.
"It's not time to rest, so hurry up and bring those who were captured yesterday." Ren Siqi hurriedly gave the order.
Jin Yufei hurriedly ran towards the stone cliff, he had become accustomed to obeying Ren Siqi's orders in the past two days.
"You guys, go and strip the clothes of the Dutchman who was just killed." Ren Siqi instructed Chen Sheng and a few Luzon Han people.
"Xiucai, what's wrong?" Mao 18 walked up to Ren Siqi and asked in surprise. The wound in his left shoulder did not stop Mao from killing the enemy, and two Javanese natives died under his sword in the previous fight.
"Go hide from the Dutchman's ship!" Ren Siqi said.
When Mao Shibai heard this, he looked at the sea, and saw the Dutch ship quietly parked there on the sea for more than two miles.
"They must have found out that there was a war here, how can they take the ship?" Mao 18 asked.
Ren Siqi: "That's why I have to change into Dutch clothes!" ”
Mao 18 suddenly realized: "You mean to pretend to be a Dutchman on the ship, good idea." ”
By the time Jin Yufei and the others escorted the captured Dutch first mate Olier and sergeant Shabila to the beach, Ren Siqi had already commanded everyone to change into Dutch-Javanese clothes.
The sky was already slightly bright, and at the sight of the corpses of their accomplices on the beach, Oliel and Shabila looked terrified.
"Ask them if they want to die or live?" Ren Siqi instructed Anthony, a Javanese Han who had surrendered.
"Spare our lives, we are willing to surrender!" Listening to Anthony's translated words, Oliel and Shabila shouted in unison.
The two of them are just ordinary people, and they don't have the consciousness to see death as home.
Pushing a few small boats on the beach into the water, Ren Siqi took about 20 people to escort Oliel and Shabi into the boat. The oars paddled in the water, and the boat headed for the Dutch ship "Shark", which was two miles away.
The sky gradually brightened, but a faint fog rose from the sea, and the "Shark" was faintly ahead.
The Dutchman Monroe who stayed on the "Shark" was sleeping at the moment, and the gunshots that came from the island from time to time this night made Monroe not sleep in the middle of the night, although he was a little worried about the situation on the island, but he was now left on the "Shark" with a Dutchman and five or six Javanese, and two of the four small boats were captured by the Ming when attacking the "Fuchun", and the other two were taken to the island by Captain Jared, and now Monroe did not have a small boat even if he wanted to go to reinforcements.
It didn't take long for gunshots to sound, and Monroe was tired, so he simply lay down in the cabin and fell asleep, and it was useless to be in a hurry anyway.
Early in the morning, a Javanese man got up to pee, stood on the bow of the ship and looked out over the island, the gunfire had stopped, and it seemed that the Dutch lord had once again defeated the Ming people. Suddenly he froze, and saw several small boats approaching from the direction of the island.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, for the presence of the fog made him unable to see, but it was sure that it was a moving boat.
After a while, the boat had approached the "Shark", and he climbed to the bow of the boat and looked down, and saw that the people on the boat were all his own.
"Why did you get back?" The Javanese asked in surprise.
"Mabid? It was us who came back. Anthony hurriedly replied in a loud voice: "Quickly lower the gangway, let us go up." ”
"Why did you come back at this time?" The Javanese man, named Mabid, muttered under his breath and headed to the deck, lowering the gangway, but the Dutch lord Olier next to Anthony kept him from doubt.
Under Ren Siqi's whispered order, Anthony took a short knife and led the way to the gangway, followed only by Chen Sheng, a Luzon Han Chinese, and then the surrendered Javanese native Tony and Cao Changjiang, Jin Yufei and others.
Marbid always felt that something was wrong, and when Anthony climbed onto the deck and stood in front of him, he finally remembered.
"Anthony, you, weren't you captured by the Ming people?" Mabid exclaimed.
"Yes. I was captured by the Ming people, and I surrendered to them. Anthony said in a very flat tone, but the short knife in his hand was much faster than his words, and the knife plunged into Mabid's chest, stirring vigorously.
"You, you" Mabid's words were choked in his throat, his eyes glared at Anthony, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
Holding Ma Bide's body, he gently put it on the deck, and then looked back, Chen Sheng, Tang Ni, Cao Changjiang and others had already fished on the deck.
The ensuing battle went well, with the few remaining Javanese natives on the ship barricaded in the cabin, while Monroe, the only Dutchman on the ship, was dragged out of bed and onto the deck with a bewildered expression.
The Dutch ship "Shark", the Dutch ship that left the crew of the Fuchun with terrifying memories, finally fell into the hands of Ren Siqi and others, and all the Dutch and Javanese on board were either killed or captured.
