For Farley, there is not the slightest suspense in this sortie, it is just a robbery, and he has done too much of this kind of thing. No matter what kind of situation the other side is, these ten warships can also face it.

Seeing the Dutch warship from the telescope, Hua Yingchun immediately burst out laughing, and his face was filled with joy that could not be concealed. As the one who lured the enemy, Hua Yingchun didn't want to put himself on the hook, and after confirming that the Dutch saw him, he ordered everyone: "Brothers, go quickly!" The sea is not on land, none of us will survive if the ship sinks, so let's go! ”

Instead of limiting the speed, the warship moved closer to the brigade at full speed, luring the Dutch out, and his mission was completed.

Standing on the bow of the battleship, a puzzled look flashed on Farley's face, this was not a battleship he had seen. Neither the Spaniards nor the Portuguese, nor the Englishmen who were pirates, their ships were not like this. Stretching out his hand to greet a person, Farley said in a deep voice: "Come and see, where is this warship?" ”

This person is Fei Lin, who was left to Farley by Penghu Commander Waite, who is very familiar with the affairs of the Taiwan Strait, and it is most appropriate for him to confirm it.

Taking the telescope handed over by Farley, Fei Lin didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly raised it to look at it, his brows furrowed. He lowered his head and muttered for a moment before he spoke: "Your Excellency, this is the first time I have seen such a battleship, and it is different from the previous warships. However, judging from the style of the ship, it should be a warship of the Ming Kingdom. ”

"Da Ming Kingdom?" Glancing at the film in some surprise, Farley wondered if this film had made a mistake? When did the Ming Kingdom have such a big warship. Although the appearance of these warships is different from his side, they are larger than his own warships, how can they be from the Ming Kingdom.

Waving his hand to signal Filin to go down, for Farley, wait a moment to know whose battleship it is. Glancing at the herald beside him. With a serious face, he said: "Full speed ahead, wait a minute, don't sink all the opponent's warships, there are all good things on it." ”

When they saw the flag flying high on the battleship of the decoy enemy, everyone's faces showed smiles, Yu Zhigao patted Xu Xinsu on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Not bad." It's really good, give you a credit. After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhang Yukun, who turned to the side, and asked respectfully: "Uncle Shi, what should I do next, please arrange." ”

"The flag has been raised on the decoy fleet, and the Dutch have only ten warships, so naturally it is of course more to bully less. The fleet took a semi-circular attack formation, encircled these Dutch fleets, and surrounded them all when they looked for opportunities. Can't let them run! Zhang Yukun also said loudly with joy on his face.

The order was quickly passed down, and the fleet changed its formation as quickly as it had been rehearsed, and surrounded the front.

"Your Excellency Commander, there is an ambush, we have been fooled!" When Fei Lin saw this scene, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said to Farley on the side.

No need to say it. Farley also saw it, his face was gloomy and terrible. I didn't expect to be fooled like this. After thinking about it, he said, "You can't stop, and you can't turn around." Now the fleet is moving at full speed, and if we make a U-turn, we will be surrounded. Order the fleet to move at full speed and prepare to rush over! "Although he is not familiar with the fleet on the other side, Farley is still very confident. Their own fleet will definitely be able to rush out from the front.

"Feilin, do you think this is the fleet of the Great Ming Kingdom? Isn't it Zheng Zhilong's? ”。 Farley still didn't believe that this was the fleet of the Great Ming Kingdom at this time, after all, the Great Ming Kingdom had been in decline for so many years, and the sea power was long gone. On the other side was about sixty warships, such a huge home fleet. It's not what the Ming Kingdom should have.

Film's face was already sweating, and after the order was passed down, he always felt unstable in his heart. Hearing Falei's question, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Commander, this is not Zheng Zhilong's fleet, although he has such a number of warships, it is not so big. I can be sure that this is the warship of the Ming Kingdom, they are here to attack Penghu! ”

"Attack Penghu? Why is that? Although Farley knew that Penghu was the territory of the Dutch, he did not know where this territory came about.

"This Penghu was originally the territory of the Ming Kingdom, but we occupied it after we came. The Ming Kingdom has always asked us to withdraw from Penghu, but His Excellency Commander Waite has never taken this seriously, after all, the Ming Dynasty has not seized the strength of Penghu by force. However, since the beginning of this year, the attitude of the Ming Kingdom is very tough, and an ultimatum has been issued a year ago, if we can't withdraw, then the Ming Dynasty will recover by force! Fei Lin's face became even more ugly, it was obvious that Da Ming Guo had been prepared for a long time.

Nodding slowly, Falei didn't have time to think too much about this, and seeing that the two sides had been surrounded by the navy of the Ming Kingdom, he ordered: "Open the cannon, try the range of the Ming warship!" ”

Although the number of Ming warships was very large, Farley did not believe that the Ming artillery could have a long range. If the range of their artillery is not as far as their own, they are confident that they will annihilate all these Ming fleets here.

The fender of the side-chord gun had long been lowered, the lead of the gun made a burning sound, and with a loud bang, a shell flew towards the Ming battleship on the right.

Rumble! The cannonball fell into the water, and suddenly splashed a column of water several feet high, and fell back into the sea with a bang. Seeing this scene, Qi Jin immediately laughed, he was familiar with firearms, this was obviously a test of the Dutch. Looking at the shells that fell into the water two miles away, Qi Jin knew that these two miles were the key to absolute victory.

"Give the Left Wing a signal to keep such a distance from the Dutch, and all the flanked guns have the right to open fire and send these Dutchmen down to feed the fish. In addition, let the warship in charge of outflanking speed up, and be sure to seal the mouth for me! Qi Jin glanced back at the herald and said with a laugh.

"Yes, General!" The herald hurriedly replied, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.

The order was quickly passed down, and the Ming army on Qi Jin's right flank all lowered the fenders of the side string guns, and the twenty guns of each warship exposed the muzzles of the black holes.

Pulling out his sword, Qi Jin raised it high and shouted loudly: "Fire!" Suddenly there was a volley of artillery fire, and countless shells flew towards the Dutch fleet with white smoke.

More than two dozen shells fell on a Dutch warship, which was dismembered in an instant, leaving planks and shattered bodies floating on the sea. Many shells fell into the water, splashing countless waves, and the Dutch ships began to sway from side to side.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Commander, their artillery has a longer range than ours, think of a way!" Filin finally settled on the ominous omen in his heart, and it was so, it was.

Falei was also stunned at this time, he didn't expect that the artillery of these fleets of the Ming Kingdom would be farther away than what he had set up here. Wiping a handful of seawater splashed on his face, Farley said loudly: "Pass the order, rush out of the encirclement at full speed, the fleet moves closer to both sides, bring the Ming fleet into the firing range, and the sidestring cannon will counterattack me!" ”

The order was not slow to pass on, but the speed of the shells was much faster, and after two rounds of shelling, the Dutch fleet had already lost five ships. This is the Ming army's nearly eight layers of shells fell into the water, but the two layers of shells are enough for Farley to drink a pot. The remaining five ships were also wounded, and Farley's flagship was also hit by two shells, but fortunately they were all on deck.

Because of the addition of iron plates, it was only blown out of a large crater and was not blown through. Farley kept telling himself that he must escape, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he must pass on the news, and he must pass it on.

Standing at the bow of the warship, Yu Shigao had a smile on his face, turned to Zhang Yukun on the side and said: "Uncle Shi, this battle seems to be like this, those Spaniards always say that the Dutch fleet is powerful, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that!" ”

"General Yu, this is a bad statement!" Before Zhang Yukun could speak, Nan Juyi on the side interjected: "General Yu, the range of these Spaniards' artillery is very long, and the power is also very great. Although it is not as long as the range of our navy's artillery, it is much stronger than the artillery of the Fujian Navy Division! ”

Speaking of this, Nan Juyi sighed helplessly, and then said: "This official has already seen the Dutch warships, and it is really not something that the Fujian Navy can defeat, otherwise this official will not use other methods." The emperor is far-sighted, and it is really a blessing for my Ming Kingdom to establish such a large navy! ”

After listening to Nanjuren's words, the people around him all nodded thoughtfully, and Zhang Yukun said with a smile: "At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, he established a firearms factory, and now it seems that it is definitely far-sighted. Firearms are the weapons of the nation, and they are enough to determine the outcome of a war! ”

Everyone was talking about it, and the battlefield was already full of gunsmoke, and the Dutch ships were sunk one by one, and in the end only Farley's flagship remained. Although the flagship was hit by numerous shells, it was not silent by this time, and it has to be said that it is a miracle.

Looking at the warship rushing towards him, Yu Zhigao suddenly laughed on his face, at this time, the artillery on both sides had stopped firing, and it was really easy to injure his own people by mistake.

"Someone! Bring up the bazooka, General Ben is going to release a shot! "For a weapon like a bazooka, Yu Zhigao likes it very much, even more than artillery.

Zhang Yukun on the side smiled helplessly, but he didn't stop Yu Zhigao, but just said to the herald on the side: "Let the surrounding warships prepare bazookas, and wait for General Yu to launch the rest of the fleet after launching." To sink this battleship, we can't afford to delay too much time. (To be continued......)
