Six airships flew over the Gulf of Siam, and four of them quietly approached the four Dutch second-class battleships around the two treasure ships to rescue the treasure ships. The other two airships were responsible for attacking the Dutch warships in the vicinity.

Although the propellers of the airship are pedaled, they are still very loud. During the approach, a sentry on a Dutch warship soon noticed something unusual in the air and quickly reported it to Turner.

Turner was stunned when he heard this, looked up at the air, and was dumbfounded.

"What the hell is this?"

Rayoz said on the side: "It seems to be the air force reconnaissance hot air balloon of the Chinese Empire, but it seems to be much larger than before."

Turner's keen instincts told him that the appearance of a reconnaissance hot air balloon indicated that there was a presence of Imperial Chinese forces nearby.

"The hot air balloons of the Chinese Empire stayed in the air for less than two hours, and the range was only more than 100 kilometers, and they must have taken off from a warship when they appeared here."

Rejoz frowned and said, "What you said makes sense, this means that the Chinese Empire has reinforcements coming, is it a warship from the Matapura Naval Base?" ”

"Probably, though, the newspaper says there are only a few old cruisers in the Matapura base, and they are not equipped with hot air balloons," Turner said.

"You mean there are other naval forces of the Chinese Empire nearby"

Turner said: "I don't really want to, but I can't rule it out. ”

Rayoz smiled and said, "So what? With our strength, we are enough to deal with any fleet of the Chinese Empire"

Turner was speechless, hoping that Rayoz's words were correct. However, when he looked at the hot air balloon in the air again, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"What do I think there's something wrong with these hot air balloons?"

"Don't make a fuss, it's done, let them see how we took the treasure from under their noses, so that they can feel fulfilled"

As soon as the words fell, a sudden change occurred, and I saw that several airships in the air suddenly threw something like a wine jar, and smashed straight into the Dutch battleship.

"What are they?"

Turner stared at what the airship had left behind, nervous.

At this time, the 1st Strike Squadron of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force was throwing incendiary bombs at the Dutch battleship below.

I saw that one incendiary bomb after another was thrown directly at the Dutch battleship next to the treasure ship, because the sailors on the Dutch battleship did not pay attention to the Chinese Imperial Air Force on their heads, and no one took any precautions.

With a bang, the first incendiary bomb fell on the deck, and as the porcelain jar shattered, the incendiary bomb exploded. In an instant, the small wine jar that was originally unseen instantly turned into a huge ball of fire, rising several meters high flames, and then turned into a huge cloud of black smoke rising into the sky, like a huge mushroom cloud.

Then, one after another, incendiary bombs followed, and suddenly the deck of the Dutch battleship burst into flames.

The incendiary bomb exploded instantly, creating a violent shock wave that immediately lifted the surrounding Dutch soldiers into the air, and the high-speed flying fragments harvested the unsuspecting lives.

The Dutch soldiers, who were launching a fierce attack on the treasure ship, were stunned by the sudden attack, and the flames were flying, black smoke billowed out, and the flying oil instantly turned into red swords, splashing everywhere, and wherever it hit, it was a fire.

Suddenly, an incendiary bomb smashed into the mast as it fell, and the flames engulfed the sails, and the flames flew up dozens of meters along the mast, and the smoke soared into the sky.

Similarly, the other four battleships were also attacked by a large number of incendiary bombs at this moment, and the battleships were on fire, and the smoke billowed into the sky, and the slightly clear sky was once again obscured by thick smoke.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the Dutch sailors were already in disarray, and the fire quickly spread to the Dutch soldiers who were attacking the treasure ship, and the firepower of the attack dropped suddenly.

Here, on the Dongting Lake, Li Yan and Li Zicheng and other Chinese Imperial soldiers were also shocked, and they opened their mouths wide and looked at the incendiary bombs that were falling in the air.

"It's so enjoyable," Li Zicheng shouted: "I'll just say, just looking at these hot air balloons, it's absolutely different from before."

Li Yan was also ecstatic, now it's okay, with this kind of air weapon that can still burn incendiary bombs, I believe that it will not be a problem to repel the Dutch fleet.

However, just after a little rejoicing, an incendiary bomb was accidentally thrown onto the deck of the treasure ship, and a large fire suddenly ignited.

"Damn it, where are you going?"

Li Zicheng suddenly glared, and when he picked up the binoculars and looked at the airship, he saw the air force soldiers above waving his hands to apologize.

"Forget it, they didn't mean it"

It just so happened that the Dutch fire weakened, and a dozen sailors had a chance to come out to extinguish the fire.

Watching the Dutch battleship fall into flames, all the fighters and non-combatants on the treasure ship were hooked.

Six airships set fire to more than a dozen Dutch battleships, including four Dutch second-class battleships that were attacking two treasure ships, and two of them were destroyed in flames, while the remaining two were incapacitated by their sails.

However, the airship had a limited bomb load, and all incendiary bombs were quickly polished.

When Li Zicheng was shouting, he was suddenly surprised when he saw the airship stop dropping bombs and turn away.

"How did you go?"

"How many bombs do you think that thing can hold" Li Yan stepped forward and said, "Of course you have to leave after you throw it out."

Li Zicheng was immediately disappointed and said, "How is this good?" Are there so many enemy ships on the periphery? ”

Li Yan also understood that the current battlefield situation was extremely unfavorable, and he only hoped that reinforcements would arrive soon.

"Leave those alone, let's knock out the roast pigs in front of you first."

Li Yan's current task is very simple, that is, to lead the soldiers to carry out a counter-charge, taking advantage of the chaos of the Dutch army, to eliminate the enemy on both sides of the treasure ship, and prevent the fire from spreading to the treasure ship.

At this moment, the Dutch were already taking care of themselves, and in the face of the counterattack of the Chinese Imperial Army, the Dutch defense line was quickly crushed.

Li Zicheng led his troops to rush onto the enemy ship, crushing the last trace of resistance of the enemy, and then cut all the hooks and locks to retreat the enemy ship, so that the Dongting Lake was out of the tiger's mouth.

Similarly, not far away was the Poyang Lake, which also launched a counterattack at this time, rushing out from the flanking attack of the enemy ships.

Turner and Rayots, who were watching the battle from a distance, were stunned, watching more than a dozen warships burst into flames, and they actually forgot to command.

After a long time, Turner was the first to react and hurriedly ordered all the battleships to evade.

"That didn't happen?" Rejoz didn't believe his eyes, and he had been unthreatening to scout when the hot air balloon had the ability to attack

Turner received reports that more than a dozen battleships had been burned, including four second-class battleships that had lost their combat effectiveness, and he couldn't help but burst into a rage.

"This damn thing knocks them down right away"

The Dutch warships were so frightened that they avoided the airship passing through the sea, and even if Turner ordered to shoot the airship, they did so from a distance. Since the distance from the airship in a straight line is at least more than 600 meters, when the projectile flies near the airship, it has become a fly in the eyes of the air force soldiers, and there is no threat.

The Dutch soldiers on each ship shot into the air one after another, and rows of projectiles shot into the sky but could not hit the airship, which lasted for more than ten minutes, and the Dutch sailors saw that they could not kill the airship, and immediately turned into fear, and the ships unconsciously moved away from the battlefield.

Among the navies of all countries in the world today, only the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is a full compulsory military service system, and the naval soldiers of the rest of the countries are mercenary. What's more, the Dutch East India Fleet, which was not strictly bound by military regulations, everyone had a share in the spoils when the officers and men were divided, and they had their own destiny in times of danger.

The scene was a little out of control, the Dutch were too poor to accept the danger in the air, the sense of fear doubled, and the formation of the Dutch East India fleet was chaotic.

Turner had only seven second-class battleships in his hands, but he had to take four at once, and had to move the remaining three away first, and then mobilize other ships to besiege the treasure ship.

However, at this moment, a large number of warships appeared in the northeast, and the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire fluttered on the top of the high mast, and the Pacific Fleet finally appeared in the waters of the Gulf of Siam.

The advent of the Pacific Fleet immediately increased the riots of the Dutch East India Fleet.

After receiving the report, Turner hurriedly climbed the mainmast to observe the situation from the lookout.

"How so?" In the binoculars, Turner's face was full of disbelief.

Rayoz, who then climbed up, quickly observed it, and immediately gasped.

"This is the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Empire? How did it end up here? Didn't you go to Peru? ”

Rejouz never dreamed of why the Pacific Fleet appeared here, but he had been studying the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Empire for many years, so he was quite familiar with the naval livery and flag logo of the Pacific Fleet, so he recognized it at a glance.

However, Rejotz's impression of the Pacific Fleet was only the Third Fleet, that is, the South Pacific Fleet, at the Guam Naval Base, and the other fifty capital ships were all third- and fourth-class battleships, except for one first-class battleship. But at this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the familiar Dingyuan, there were ten large warships of the same size.

Keen naval instincts told Sù Rayons that these ten large battleships were first-class battleships, the legendary first-class battleships of the Celestial Dome. The reason why it is a legend is mainly because the Fleet Command of the Imperial Chinese Navy announced the design and installation of the first class battleship of the Sky Dome class, but because it was deployed at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, where the North Pacific Fleet is located, outsiders could not see the real ship at all.

Turner's face suddenly sank, and he went down from the observation tower without saying a word, and Reyoz also sighed and followed.

"Our sentinel ships have been watching near the Guam Naval Base, why are they back and we don't know at all?"

Turner lost his temper, and Rayoz was uncomfortable.

"Is it—"

Suddenly, the two blurted out at the same time, both shocked.

"We were counted" V
