Facing the sea breeze in the early morning, watch a little white sail gradually appear on the skyline in the distance. The snow-white sails float like elves on the turquoise sea, which is truly a dreamy sight.

It's a pity that the realists on the Qionghai didn't have the slightest idea of appreciating the beautiful scenery, and all they were thinking about was how to get these beautiful little white sails to the bottom of the water......

The Dutch were still quite cunning, they did not all enter the port, but two ships slowed down in the sea area at the entrance to the red port, blocking the exit channel, and only one flue ship headed towards the interior of the port, and cautiously, like a chicken thief.

Probably they really wanted to sneak attack, but they didn't know that all their movements were clearly displayed on the radar screen, and the sailboat that slipped into the harbor also made a special halfway around, trying to hide itself with the background of the mountains behind. As everyone knows, under the dual observation of radar and telescopes, their every move is completely hidden.

The Qionghai slowly left the dock, but it did not accelerate, but only caught up at the slowest speed of three to four knots. The slower speed allowed the two gunners on the ship to aim on the cargo deck in the middle of the Qionghai, and used sandbags filled with dirt to pad two makeshift gun emplacements, and the mortars were set up on the sandbags, while Ma Qianshan and Lin Shenhe ran around and were busy calibrating and firing Zhu Yuan.

The two sides gradually got closer, but they suddenly found that the movement of the Dutch ship was a little strange, many big-nosed foreigners gathered on the deck, and kept waving their hands to this side, and some of them took off their hats and waved them in this direction, and they could even see clearly through the binoculars, and some of them actually had smiles on their faces.

"What are these birdmen trying to do?"

Many people were puzzled, Pang Yu also raised the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and then smiled:

"Maybe we think our IQ is relatively low."

"What?"

Everyone naturally felt incredible, but after listening to Pang Yu's analysis, they all sneered.

What do these Dutchmen want? Undoubtedly, of course, this big iron ship. For these "sea coachmen", there is probably nothing in the world that can float on the surface of the water. And the large iron-hulled ship that can sail quickly and freely without sails is a more attractive target.

The news provided by the traitor Liu Xiang. They should already know that there aren't many people here. And yesterday's sudden encounter, although it was already dusk, the visibility was not good. But the mast watchtowers on second-hand ships were much higher than those of modern ships. Since the Qionghai can see each other, the other party must have seen them earlier.

In this era, there were no good sighting equipment, but if you can work as a lookout on an ocean-going ship, your eyesight should be quite impressive, not to mention that the Qionghai is still very eye-catching in white.

There is no doubt that they want to grab the ship, but since they have seen the speed and tonnage of the Qionghai, from the perspective of the other party, these red-haired people must have faced a problem: no matter how piggy they are, they should know. It's impossible to rely on your own speed to stick up and fight in a jumping gang fight.

The Dutch still had a terrible time in their history during the Second Anglo-Dutch War, when their fleet stormed the Thames, bombarded London and blockaded it for three days. For the most part, however, the Dutch were more opportunistic, limited by their national strength.

The same is true of their cousins in East Asia: if they can rob, they will rob, and if they can't, they will do business honestly. On the ships of the East India Company. The captain of the ship does not decide what to do, and the salesman assigned to each ship by the company is the one who has the final say.

Historically, the conflict between the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty lasted for a long time, and they took advantage of a lot of advantages at the beginning, but every time the Ming Dynasty brought in a large army to clean up their land, these merchants immediately confessed. He was kicked out of Penghu twice; was defeated by Zheng Zhilong's fleet several times, but secretly purchased the passage flag of the Zheng family's fleet from the Japanese...... Until the year. was driven out of Taiwan by Zheng Chenggong.

In a word. If you want to describe these red-haired people in one sentence, then it is one word that is most appropriate:

"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard".

Taking into account the consistent pattern of behavior of the Dutch in history. So now, after sneaking into the port, only to find that the Qionghai has been activated, their motive for putting on a "goodwill" face is very clear.

"That's right, brothers, I think there's a good chance those bunnies are using trickery to find a way to get close to our boat, and then come up and play the jumping gang, kill and steal the boat!"

Pang Yu finally said his judgment, and everyone around him agreed. In Southeast Asia, Europeans must have a strong sense of psychological superiority, which is understandable to everyone because they see each other that way.

"Ignore them, and hit them with artillery if you get close."

Tang Jianman didn't care, in these years, communications were not developed, and the robbers did bad things at sea or in a small port, and they couldn't spread to other places for a while, so they could deceive them. But now these people are facing a group of visitors from later generations, not to mention that these Dutch people have done bad things before, they all know it, even if they haven't done it yet, they still know it here!

Ignoring the changes and responding to changes is certainly the safest coping strategy. However, in the eyes of Pang Yu and others, these monkey-like red-haired people actually dared to treat them as fools, and they were really sorry for the gap between the three hundred years of the era if they didn't return the favor.

"Hey, Master Zheng, you've been bumped into a lot of times these days...... Do you estimate that under the premise that the main body of our own ship is not damaged, can we sink the other party at once? ”

Pang Yu patted the helmsman Lao Zheng's shoulder, pointed to the opposite flue and questioned the expert. Lao Zheng, a mechanic, has been driving a lot of bumper boats these days, and he is bold, so he nodded after a casual glance: "...... No problem! ”

Since Lao Zheng has guaranteed the ticket, everyone here has also made up their minds to hit it upright. There are two big ships in the back, and the sooner you can get this one, the better. No matter how fierce the mortar fire is, it will definitely not be as good as the shining steel plate angle on the bow of the Qionghai.

"Can our engines accelerate in a short period of time...... No problem? That's good, slow down and let them come over, and when the distance is almost there, accelerate and steer and hit their sideboard! ”

Pang Yu had a murderous idea, and Lao Zheng sneered:

"Don't worry, look at me. Isn't this just a big liberation to hit a small loaf, it's still a wooden shell, and it's easier to deal with than a Japanese car......"

As for Ling Ning's dismissal of Xi Wen Desi and the others, they ran around to inform everyone to prepare for the impact. The Qionghai has been refit in battle before, in addition to reinforcing the bow and adding steel plate collision angles, most of the glass windows have been removed, the non-fixed furniture can be moved, and the metal handles and protrusions are wrapped with thick cloth, so there is basically no damage to the Ming ship that has been sunk before.

The tonnage of the Western sailing ship to be dealt with this time is even larger, and there is nothing to worry about in terms of hull structure, and there is no doubt that the iron ship will hit the wooden ship, and the bow will hit the side and smash it. It's just that the opponent's hull is higher, and in the event of a collision, it is likely to take the opportunity to jump over and fight hand-to-hand, which is their goal, and they must not be guarded against.

According to the information of the glorious company, there are about eighty to one hundred crew members on the Flue ship, and if it is not handled well, it will be troublesome if the other party jumps forty or fifty people, because they are worried that these red hairs will send people ashore to cause sabotage, and the armed personnel who crossed the crowd are not all on board, and there are only about fifty people on board. We can definitely win the war, but no one can say for sure what damage will be caused.

Therefore, Tang Jian immediately set about arranging a blocking position at the bow of the ship, and the goal was very simple, as long as he didn't let the other party rush over during the collision. Considering that the opponent may be heavily armed with arquebuses, the blockers were placed behind cover as much as possible and wore metal helmets.

The flue ship gradually approached, and the "performance" of the red-haired fans on the ship became more and more clear. Because I had already guessed their tricks, it felt like a bunch of clowns.

The hull of the Qionghai slowly turned half a circle, intentionally or unintentionally turning the bow towards the other side, and at this time the Dutch were able to observe this miraculous iron ship up close, and their faces showed great surprise without exception. Many were still on their knees, as if praying.

"Almost, huh?"

Pang Yu quietly urged, and Lao Zheng shook his head:

"Don't worry, get closer, our ship has good acceleration."

At this time, the "Lamb of God" Chen Tao suddenly remembered something, and pulled Pang Yu's sleeve hard:

"Pang Gong, I'm afraid it's not a big surprise attack like this, right?"

"Huh?"

Pang Yu turned around in surprise, but saw Chen Tao's face excited:

"So far, the Dutch have not been hostile to each other. What if they really came with good intentions...... Let's do it first, doesn't it make sense? ”

Pang Yu was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly:

"Dizzy, I've been analyzing it for a long time...... Well, nothing else, brother, in a word, why can't we do it first? ”

"Then there has to be a reason, right?"

"Reason? In a word, Lao Tzu doesn't like them! ”
