Another cannonball landed on the deck, and one of the crew members happened to be hit in the stomach by the shell, and his whole body was smashed on the deck, blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and blood flowed down the huge wound in his abdomen, and the person was out of breath at that time.

"If this continues, the ship will be sunk sooner or later!" A crew member screamed.

"They don't sink ships so they don't get anything. Rather, it will threaten us to surrender and rob us of the ship's belongings. Ren Siqi said calmly.

Mao 18 held the hilt of the long knife tightly, and looked angrily at the Dutch ship two miles away, facing the opponent's cannon, he had no force but no place to exert it.

Sure enough, after firing a few more shots, the Dutch ship waved the flag and ordered the Fuchun to surrender.

"What should I do?" The crew's eyes all looked at the owner Fu Chun. If you don't surrender, you will die, if you surrender, the ship will fall into the hands of the other party, not to mention the loss of property, and everyone's lives will be slaughtered!

"Leave him alone, keep going, head for the island ahead." Fu Chun gritted his teeth and gave the order.

Just made a lot of money, and he was able to go home to retire, but he didn't expect to encounter such a predicament, Fu Chun's heart was like ashes. He would rather the ship be sunk than see the silver he had earned so hard to be snatched away by the other party!

There was an island about ten miles away, and the helmsman Hu Quan turned the rudder and drove the Fuchun straight to the island.

When the Dutch ship saw that the Fuchun was unwilling to surrender, they continued to open fire. At this time, the distance between the two ships was already very close, only a little more than a mile, and the entire Fuchun was covered under the range of the opponent's artillery. Of course, the Fuchun also had a cannon, which was enough for the Dutch ship, but the power of the Fuchun's Furlong cannon was far from that of the Dutch cannon, and the number was far less.

A cannonball was smashing on the side of the stern ship, the side of the ship was smashed, and a piece of sawdust flew in the air, just stuck on Hu Quan's arm, Hu Quan screamed in pain, and covered his bleeding arm.

Mao 18 hurried to Hu Quan's side, grabbed Hu Quan's other arm, pulled him into the cabin, pulled out the wooden thorns on his arm, and bandaged his wound with a strip of cloth.

More and more shells fell on the Fuchun, and the entire deck was smashed with holes, and the crew dodged the flying shells, and there were five or six crew members killed and wounded.

"Owner, you can't go any further, if you go any further, you will run aground!" A crew member shouted to remind Fu Chun. The Fuchun is already very close to the island, and beyond that is the beach, and there is a good chance that the Fuchun will run aground on the beach.

"Keep going! Get ready to put down the boat! Fu Chun calmly gave the order, he just wanted the Fuchun to run aground, seeing the Fuchun stranded, the Dutch ship would definitely not pursue at the risk of the same grounding, so that the crew on the ship could escape to the island. As for the ship and its belongings, it is no longer to be taken care of.

The Fuchun sailed straight towards the island, and the water level near the island was surprisingly deep, and about 300 meters away from the island, the crew felt a shock under their feet, and the bottom of the ship finally touched the ground under the sea.

The Fuchun traveled forward for another ten meters before it came to a complete stop, and the entire ship ran aground on the beach and could no longer move.

The two boats were lowered from the Fuchun and released into the sea, and the crew had to land on the island in small boats to escape the Dutch.

Three crew members of the Fuchun were killed by the Dutch, and five others were wounded. Of course, the dead people did not pay attention, but in addition to the remaining twenty-eight crew members, there were 21 Ming people from Luzon in the bilge.

"Just abandon the ship?" Crew member Xue Yulai said bitterly, he has been on the Fuchun for more than three years, and it is by going to sea to earn silver taels to support his family, and his heart is very painful to see that the ship he relies on for his livelihood is about to fall into the hands of the enemy.

"What else if not?" The archer Mao Liu was in the same pain, but instead of being sunk with the ship, it was better to flee to the island, so that he could escape with his life, and then find a way to return to Daming in the future.

The rest of the crew stood on deck silently, and no one was willing to give up the ship, but what else could they do?

"Owner, maybe we can do this!" Ren Siqi suddenly thought of an idea, so he went to Fu Chun's side and whispered to Fu Chun.

"Is that okay?" Fu Chun's eyes widened and he looked at Ren Siqi, skeptical of Ren Siqi's idea.

"If you don't try it, who knows if it's going to work. Besides, even if we all escape safely to this desert island, how can we return to Daming in the future? Instead of spending a miserable life on this desert island, it is better to fight to the death! Ren Siqi said viciously, he didn't want to spend his life on such a desert island with dozens of stinky men.

"Alright, that's it!" Fu Chun made up his mind.

"Bastard!" On the Dutch ship, Captain Jared cursed angrily and slapped the side of the ship.

"God, what do they want to do? Don't they know that the boat ran aground on the beach and could no longer move? These stupid monkeys! First mate Olier exclaimed in surprise.

"They'd rather run aground than fall into our hands, bastards." Jared said hatefully.

"Look, they're fleeing to the island." Another Dutchman named Shabira shouted.

From a distance, I saw that the Ming people were rowing towards the island in two small boats.

"Shoot at them and kill these damn monkeys! Damn Moses, stop firing at that ship, do you want to blast all the ship's belongings into the sea? Captain Jared yelled.

The Dutchman in charge of the artillery, named Moses, quickly instructed his gunners to remove the muzzle of the cannon and shoot at the boat on which the Akito was riding.

The cannonball shot into the water near the boat, splashing a huge column of water, which fell from the sky into the sea and turned into ten thousand splashes, and when the water splash dispersed, I saw two small boats undulating on the surface of the sea, and continued to move towards the island.

The Dutch ship was bigger than the Fuchun, and because of the fear of running aground, they did not dare to approach the island, so they could only stop on the sea more than three miles away from the island and shoot at the boat, but the boat was too small to hit a single shell, and they could only watch dozens of Ming people get off the boat and climb onto the beach.

"Stupid monkeys, let them really be monkeys on this desert island, we only need silver! Although their ship is stranded, the silver will not sink to the bottom of the sea, and it is not ours yet, but it will take a little effort. Captain Jared said.

Jared immediately ordered that there was no need to fire at Akito again, and that it would be better to save some ammunition.

Then he ordered the boat to be put down, and he was to send someone to board the Fuchun in the boat, and then he thought of transferring the wealth of the ship to his own ship.
