When Wei Qing, Li Guang, and a few strange small boats, which were one or two circles larger than the four warships in front of them, appeared in the telescope, West understood that he only had two chances, one was that the other party's ship was not as fast as his own, if it was a Portuguese merchant ship, his Callahan would definitely be faster than the Portuguese, and he had this confidence, but the other party was a battleship loaded with light and fast speed, which was a bit hanging, and the other was that the other party did not have a cannon of more than twenty-four pounds, but only broke his own side and sails, and it was not fatal, It's not far from the big guy, and there's still a chance.

"Prepare for war." Vest ordered.

For a while, the gunners of the two 400-ton merchant ships were in place and busy.

Zhao Lie saw clearly that there were only two Dutch merchant ships ahead, and there were no more warships.

"him, sir." Yu Dabao asked with a smile next to him. Yu Dabao has been by Zhao Lie's side for a long time, and he also understands that his own is a warship, and the other party's is a merchant ship, according to the rules of the sea, then rob his mother.

"Okay, rob her mother." Zhao Lie laughed, he was also a member of the merchants and thieves in the seventeenth century voyage, and he had to abide by the rules of the sea, the strong is the king, and the defeated is the villain, and I am strong enough to rob you.

"The order is that Huo Quai, Chen Tang, Zhou Yafu, and Peng Yue will attack the two ships."

The lookout informed the ships in front with horns and flags, and four warships surrounded it, two against one with two Dutch merchant ships.

Vest watched the four enemy ships approach his merchant ship briskly, and understood that his first hope was in vain, and it depended on whether the enemy had deadly large-caliber naval guns.

"Fire," Vest ordered.

Smoke rose from the two Dutch ships, and most of their cannons were on the deck, and the fire and smoke were scattered, but the four enemy ships they were aiming at were not shot at all, but only a large column of water in the sea two or three hundred paces in front of Zhao Lie's fleet.

Four minutes later, another salvo was fired, this time with six or seven hits, but the battleship under Zhao Lie's command did not suffer major losses.

Qian Er and his new partner, the sturdy Zhang Wei, heard the ping-pong sound of two projectiles hitting the side of the ship, Qian Er grabbed the medicine bag in his grip a little nervously, and Zhang Wei squatted on the ground with the thirty-two-pound projectile and listened to the movement.

Gun commander Wang Qiang leisurely plugged in the fire rope.

"Ready." The deck chief's command came, Qian Er hurriedly put in the propellant bag, and another gunner, Zhang Wei, put in the projectile, Zhang Wei's muscles are solid, and his strength is not small, fortunately, the new eight 32-pound short-barreled guns are heavy, Qian Er is a little difficult, this job belongs to Zhang Wei, Qian Er picked up the pestle and compacted the gun chamber.

"Captain A, the captain of the ship gave an order, ordering the first four short-barreled cannons to bombard the enemy and force them down." The captain's sixteen-year-old herald came in and shouted.

"Holo." Captain A agreed.

"The short-barreled thirty-two-pounder gun fired."

Qian Er, Zhang Wei watched the artillery commander Wang Qiang light the fire rope, the fire rope burned out, and the cannon roared.

Four dull cannon shots rang out, and the projectiles whistled towards the enemy ship less than a mile away.

"Hit two shots." The first mate shouted.

"Well, it's okay." Simunio, the captain of the Hogonia, muttered as shattered planks and dust kicked up in two parts of the opposing ship.

West, however, can't, can't hold on any longer.

The other party did not fire from a distance, using the speed of the ship to get close to less than a mile to fire, West thought that he understood the other party's thoughts, there was no heavy artillery, only by getting closer would it have great damage to the enemy ship, his own small cannon was the majority, the idea was the same, he was happy that there was still a chance to escape.

However, the damage caused by the other side after the cannon opened fire made him understand that the other side had heavy artillery, one of the three guns grazed the bow of the ship, breaking the bow of the ship, and the other two guns smashed the four-inch side of the ship into the deck, causing two dead and three wounded, West was stunned when he heard the sailor's announcement, God, it was a heavy gunboat, he had no hope, he resisted stubbornly, he was dead, the speed of the ship was not as fast as the opponent's gunboat, he could not get rid of it, and there was no hope for the shelling.

The other party did not fire a cannon and accompanied his two ships all the time, and West understood that the other party was waiting for him to fight or surrender.

"Huber, we have no hope, what do you think?" Vest asked the first mate. First mate Huber rolled his eyes, you didn't seem to ask my opinion when you took two Japanese singers from Nagasaki. Pull me along in the responsibility when you surrender, what a bastard. If Vest had to spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard it, Nima, this was given to the Governor of Batavia by the Japanese general, and that is what I can touch.

"Yes, I also think we can't withstand each other's heavy artillery." However, this matter is related to his own safety, and Huber can only answer truthfully.

"Okay, raise the white flag." Vest said in a slumped voice, really holding his breath. But they no longer have the slightest hope of winning, so why bother, why bother to take their lives if they can't do it well.

Seeing the other party's white flag rising in the telescope, Zhao Lie cracked his mouth happily, it was very cool, it was still a heavy artillery force, and the enemy ship was forced to land in a few cannons. The flying clippers from the Weishan Lake and Xingkai Lake were respectively fifty sailors and armor, led by Qi Wei, and boarded the Callahan and Asen respectively, looking at the 1.7-meter-tall, thin Qi Wei, and the 1.8-meter-eight sturdy West reluctantly handed over their cross swords.

Two ships of more than 180 Dutchmen were escorted to the Xingkai Lake, pretending to be loaded, but, the conditions, just like that, it was very crowded, West and another captain Haller couldn't stop protesting, but no one paid attention, however, their situation was much stronger than the Ming merchants and sailors who were sold to Batavia after being plundered in recent years, and these Ming people died on the sea from the island of Taiwan Batavia, hunger, thirst, disease, and beatings. Zhao Lie ordered to maintain hygiene as much as possible, not for the sake of their lives, but for fear that the entire fleet would not have plague diseases.

The result of the count was pleasant, the income of more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver was surprising, the fleet was thunderous, and everyone had a share.

Qian Er and Zhang Wei were even more happy, they were both rewarded for plundering for the first time, Wang Qiang was much calmer, it was not the first time he had shared the account from the Sea Dragon, pouted, "You two quickly cleared the cannon breech, I haven't seen the world, when I was on the Sea Dragon, then the fuck is a lot of silver, there are many people on the ship here, you can divide a few pieces of silver." ”

"Wang Tou'er, this is not the first time I've been waiting for the silver, I've heard of it before, haven't I seen it, hehe, I'll also get it this time, hehe." Zhang Wei and Qian Er couldn't keep their mouths shut, they were already thinking about how to use the money, of course, they were still in a hurry to work, clear their chests, put the medicine bag and projectile in place, and wrap the medicine bag waterproof.

Wang Qiang shook his head and put the lead away.

Robbery at sea is really a lucrative business, Zhao Lie smacked his lips as he looked at the gold and silver, and muttered in his heart. However, the appearance of two Japanese singers and their four maids in the seized objects was a headache, and the eyes of the sturdy Shandong and Liaodong men in the fleet were round, Zhao Lie had to transfer them to the Weiqing, and in the process of transshipment, the sailors on the ships around were all onlookers, and the pomp was unprecedented.

Two 400-ton round Dutch Galen ships were incorporated into the merchant fleet, accompanied by the Xingkaihu and Hongzehu, and the fleet continued to move forward.

Due to the arrival in the Xiaoliuqiu waters, at the beginning of the next day, the two clippers left the brigade and sailed forward, and the two clippers traveled ten nautical miles to the left to be on guard, leaving two clippers in the fleet to communicate.

Yu Qiang served on the Flying Fish ship, just adjusted the sail angle of the mainmast, tied the cable, went down from the mast, wiped his sweat, and looked at the blue sea ahead, tsk, it is bluer than the sea water of Shidao, for serving on a fast ship, Yu Qiang was a little reluctant, compared to Zhang Huan on the Weiqing, on the Fuhai Lan San, he was on such a big ship, no one was majestic, but, looking at the brisk speed of the Flying Fish, Yu Qiang opened his mouth happily, Mom, this ship is really fast, I have never seen such a fast ship, well, When we meet, hmph, it's not like I'm not a little boy without boasting, the ship is so big, are we so fast. Yu Qiang thought proudly.

"There are ships, there are fleets." Shouts rang out from the lookout.

Yu Qiang was excited, and the boasting had long been forgotten, and he looked up into the distance, but unfortunately, he had not seen the shadow of the ship on the deck.
