When the two fleets approached Sanli, Zhao Lie ordered to form a battle formation and approach the enemy ships, and the lookout on the Wei Qing commanded the other ships to approach the enemy ships with flags and horns.

Seeing this action of the enemy ship, Wildenk was overjoyed, and as last time, the gunners on the enemy ship could not fire accurately, so they had to shorten the shelling distance under artillery fire. His confidence has increased greatly, this is a copy of the last naval battle, although there are only three warships on his side, however, the Sluden is a battleship of the same tonnage as the Houston, the artillery is strong, Wildenke is confident in a battle, the key is that the other party is really vulnerable.

Qian Er and Zhang Wei still felt a little nervous, not as panicked as yesterday, but when they saw the other party's lower deck gun window in the gun window, they knew that the other party was a battleship, and the artillery had many heavy guns.

Zhao Da, Qi Wei, and Yu Dabao persuaded Zhao Lie to go down to the deck many times, but Zhao Lie did not agree, after all, Wei Qing went to the front line this time, and last time it was just postponed, and his own cabin would make the Ming soldiers who were novices even more panicked, and they didn't listen to the persuasion, Yu Dabao transferred the guards to more than a dozen people, and surrounded Zhao Lie with an iron shield, Zhao Lie looked at it, but he didn't say anything, in fact, if it was a heavy artillery projectile breaking through the wall, these shields were really useless, Of course, it is still very useful for protecting wood chips scattered around.

When he approached two miles, Wildink gave the order to open fire, convinced that his subordinates could still be trusted in the face of such a rookie.

The three Dutch warships opened fire one after another, aiming at the Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Guang, after all, they had a large tonnage, many guns, and the greatest threat, and if they were defeated, they would win most of them.

The Weiqing was bombarded by twenty cannons on the side of the Houston, but only three hits, three of which were newly installed eighteen-pounder guns, and the shells of the twelve-pounder and nine-pounder guns hit the side of the ship, however, it was far away, and only the ship's side was hit with deep bullet marks, making a fluffy sound, and after sixty breaths, the second salvo came, and this time an eighteen-pound cannonball finally hit the side of the Weiqing, but not near the waterline, but close to the upper deck, and the two shells stirred up the broken planks and a large stream of dust, The Huo Qu was targeted and shelled by the Sluden, and during the second shelling, three eighteen-pounder shells hit the side of the ship, which also broke the side of the ship, and the hundred gunners on the deck listened nervously to the sound, and the sound of each ping-pong made some of them tremble, this is the most difficult period, if your own warship fires, no one cares about these, because you will devote yourself to the shelling, and the constant busyness will make you forget your fear for a while, and the moment can only be torment.

Li Guang, which was aimed at by the Dihan, was very lucky, the smaller tonnage of the Dihan did not have 18-pounder guns, the largest was only six 12-pounder guns, three on each side, and the others were 9-pounder guns and 6-pounder guns.

In ten minutes, the three Dutch battleships fired three salvos, which was a good result, and caused some damage to the Weiqing and Huo Quai, but these guns were not really heavy artillery, and the damage to the two ships was limited.

Approaching less than a mile, the six warships of Zhao Lie's fleet opened fire one after another, and thick smoke enveloped the fleet in the sound of roaring.

At this distance, nearly half of the battleship's shells hit the enemy ship, and Wildenk's ears heard the sound of ping-pong hitting, but what made Wildenk very alert was that there were some more dull blows, which were very similar to the bombardment of heavy artillery, but Wildenke couldn't believe it for a while, because it should be at least the sound of a thirty-two-pounder gun, or even a forty-eight-pounder gun. How is this possible, a three-hundred-ton battleship should not be equipped with so many heavy guns, it is impossible. If it is such a large-caliber heavy artillery, its shock is amazing, and a small ship of 300 tons may not be able to support his recoil.

In the next five minutes, Zhao Lie's fleet launched two rounds, and the results were also good. At this time, the deepest experience was the Dihan, under the care of the fourteen thirty-two-pounder guns of the Li Guang and Peng Yue, the ship's side was shattered, two shells broke into the gun deck, three six-pounder guns were destroyed, the broken splinters of the ship board killed and wounded seventeen gunners, the gun deck was littered with stumps and blood, and a terrible howl. The Dihan's artillery fire fell silent.

Wildinker was sweating profusely, and the boatswain had informed him of the opposition's forty-eight-pounder guns, and the Houston had been hit no less than ten times, three of which hit the gun deck, one of which smashed the gun window into the gun deck, destroyed a twelve-pounder gun, killed three and wounded four.

"Are you sure?" Wildenck looked at the boatswain in disbelief.

"I'm not sure, but, in my experience, a thirty-two-pounder shouldn't have smashed the ship's board into the hold so easily." Hank looked back at the captain expressionlessly, you are questioning my experience, I have experienced twice as many naval battles as you damn this, you damn muddy ball.

"Signal for retreat. Returning officer. Wildenke didn't want to prove it with his life, and he didn't think that these Francos would let him go, after all, he had been provoked many times before.

At the same time, there was also Zhao Lie sweating, at the same time as Zhao Lie's fleet broke out, the opponent also returned a salvo, maybe it was the Dutch character explosion, Zhao Lie's bow porthole was hit by an eighteen-pound shell, the three-story iron grid window was broken two and a half layers, the smoking shell was stuck on the last layer of iron grid, half of the sphere has protruded into the cabin, everyone in the cabin was stunned to look at the swarthy cannonball that was still smoking, it was really unfortunate to arrive home, and it was lucky to arrive home.

Zhao Lie also broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't think that if it was an eighteen-pound cannonball, it could be blocked with a few iron shields, if it was a nine-pounder cannon, even if it was a twelve-pounder cannon, it was still possible, and the consequences of the eighteen-pounder cannon shell bombarding the cabin were unimaginable.

"My lord, the enemy ship turned and fled." A sailor enters the report and awakens the crowd.

"Pursue them with all your might, and be sure to leave them behind." Zhao Lie hated it very much, he wanted to shoot after the fight, and he flipped the table after eating, how could there be such a good thing.

"Yes."

Wildenke regretted that he had been too close to the enemy ship, and when he tried to escape, the enemy ship sent out a large number of chain bullets and scatter bombs, at this time the decks of the Houston and Sluden were in disarray, the sails were shattered, one of the two mainmasts was broken by chain bullets, and the deck sailors were killed by scattered bullets.

Qian Er and Zhang Wei were happily busy like dozens of gunners on the deck, Qian Er saw that the shotgun bag twice as large as the eighteen-pound gun was added to the barrel, and secretly praised in his heart, this cannon can be loaded, and the belly can be accommodated. I don't know where the fear just now has gone, one is that the opponent's counterattack is not as dense as it was at the beginning, and the other is that it is distracted in the busy. Gun commander Wang Qiang jumped high to shoot shotguns.

In the command of the first commander, Wang Qiang calmly lit the fire rope, and the next moment, the cannon roared, and the propellant instantly fired nearly a hundred iron particles.

The shelling was decisive, the upper part of the Houston's mainmast was crushed by chain bullets, the lookout fell into the sea with the sailors on it, the sailors on the deck were more than half cleaned by scattered shells, there were fragments of sails and wood everywhere, and the bodies of the sailors and blood everywhere, the howls of the wounded in pain resounded across the deck, and the speed of the Houston dropped sharply, and there were no two knots.

Wildenke looked at the deck through the hatch with a pale face, at this moment, he was extremely remorseful, if he wasn't too conceited, he wouldn't have fallen into today's situation, and Wildenke, who was in high spirits and wanted to salvage a fortune, was gone.

The situation of the Dihan was even worse, the waterline was pierced through two large holes, and the sailors of the whole ship could no longer care about sailing and shooting, so they had to do their best to plug the leak and ensure that the ship did not sink, and the rest was not to be said.

The Sluden was in the best condition, but the fore and aft skews were all broken, the four main sails were broken, the deck sailors lost a third, and the ship's speed was reduced to three knots.

In fact, the situation of the three ships is very normal, after the shelling, the ship is damaged, the speed of the ship drops, in the naval battle is an inevitable outcome, however, the ship has prepared materials, can be repaired after the battle, but, the current situation is that the enemy ship has a giant cannon, if the speed of the ship can not go up, can not escape, then only by the giant cannon named, there is no need to renovate.

The entire fleet of Dutch people fell into despair.

psJust like some book friends said, this book is a bit slow to heat, indeed, because it needs to be real and rigorous, it is impossible for the protagonist to shake the tiger's body, leading a group of miscellaneous soldiers who have not been trained and armed to defeat Jiannu, even the Ming Army may not be able to defeat the enemy, if you talk about it like that, it is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms instead of the Three Kingdoms, but, now that the foreshadowing is complete, the next protagonist will lead the new army to gallop across the field, and the wonderful plot is coming, so stay tuned.
