Chapter 69: Confrontation with the Dutch Navy
An order to lure Zhang Biwu to shell Zhang Biwu's army, "Yes!" Bader immediately saluted and hurried to carry out the order.
At this time, Zhang Biwu had already discussed with Zheng Chenggong how to land in Taiwan, and they had just sent frogmen by Zheng Chenggong to inspect the area of Luermen.
Although there are many reefs in this area of Luermen, Zheng Chenggong has been fighting the idea of Luermen, so he cunningly ordered the fleet to be stationed in the area of Luermen, as long as the Chinese army is found, it will immediately attack, and absolutely will not let the Chinese army land in Luermen.
The first day of the first month of Luermen and the rising tide of the sixteenth month, maybe they don't know the way, and they don't even know the way, if they know the way, it will be difficult to do.
This news was reported back to Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Biwu. Based on this, they devised a battle plan to defeat the Dutch invaders.
"All the army is ready!" The herald shouted, and then he shook the flag, and the flag was shaking, and the people of the other flags could see it clearly.
"Attack!" With a shout, thousands of ships set off together, heading towards Dayuan Port together! It is strange to say that the artillery of Dayuangang did not fire, and it is said that the enemy is approaching, and the Dutch should have opened fire, why are they cowering and not moving?
However, the combined forces of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Biwu took the lead in firing at each other with a provocative attitude. The cannon fell on the sea one after another, and the distance was still far away, and it could not be hit.
In fact, the coalition army's artillery is trying to make it difficult for Luermen to aim at Ding Zhilu, they are coming! As long as there is a fierce battle here, he must come to the aid quickly for the sake of the safety of the one.
"Boom! Boom! "After a few cannons, there was silence.
Zhang Biwu looked at the enemy troops in Dayuan Harbor at the South Passage and were about to move. It's obvious. The enemy is about to come out of the harbor. Then you can start a fierce battle with the enemy.
You dare to come out. I will not let you go! Three warships led by Beder came out of port, each of the three warships had a black flag on it, and the clear characters on the flag were split apart, and they were crooked, and there was a pig in the flag. Zhu Ming was red, but now he was surrounded by black, and he was staggering. It's more of a mockery. And there are pigs on the flag, isn't this insulting that the Ming people are pigs?
The Dutch had fought with the Ming army, and they had also made many such flags, so when he asked Beder to be an insult, he took out these banners that had been made in the first place, hung them up, and let Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong take a good look, and they would be angry and want to chase and kill them.
No, when the soldiers on Zhang Biwu's ship saw it, they were all on fire. Say, "Look! What is this? This is a flag that insults us! If we don't destroy all these warships, how can we talk about what Chinese are! Above! We are the warriors of the Ming Dynasty. Destroy him! ”
Zhang Biwu looked at the other party's three warships stopped in front of him, and they didn't move, as if they were provoking.
Zhang Biwu smiled and said: "This kind of strategy that a three-year-old child can see through, and I have used it all!" You can't underestimate our Ming! Isn't this trying to lead us to their muzzles? As soon as my Chinese army reaches their range, their artillery will continue to bombard like crazy! My Chinese army will suffer heavy casualties, which will affect the entire situation of the war! ”
When he said this, everyone around him nodded, and they also agreed on the same thing.
At this moment, the side of the lookout soldier who saw Zheng Chenggong was signaling to Zhang Biwu's flagship, which was a hint that Zhang Biwu's army was advancing rapidly.
No, some generals got angry: "This strategy that even a three-year-old child can see, it is impossible for the famous national surname to be ignorant of the way, isn't this insisting on pushing us into the fire pit?" It's really hateful! Ignore him! ”
What they fell through the glasses was Zhang Biwu's order: "Order the whole army to rush up, signal the soldiers to scold, let the red-haired ghost think that we have been tricked, but we can do it!" ”
The latter sentence can finally make people understand what is going on, it turns out that it is going to be calculated! Zhang Biwu said with a smile: "Zheng Chenggong also knows the tricks of the red-haired ghost, and now he asks us to send a signal to attack, that is, to tell us that we are going to plan it!" Ann! Zheng Chenggong will definitely help us get rid of the three enemy ships! ”
It's Zhang Biwu's order, who dares not to listen? They all quickly chased after the three enemy ships and cursed.
Bader thought he had a plan, and he laughed and said, "Good! Great! We did it! Ha Lu Ha! The Governor's plan is wonderful! These barbarians can't see through it! Ha! ”
Barbarian? Scold! Wait a minute, you'll know how much you're going to pay for this sentence!
Because Zhang Biwu's fleet ships were large, and they were far inferior to Beder's ships in terms of advanced level, Beder's ships were far faster than Zhang Biwu's fleet, and it was not an easy task to capture him.
And the lookout on the Dutch ship shouted: "Several enemy ships to the east of us have suddenly stopped!" What are they going to do? ”
Bader couldn't help but look sideways, and indeed several small boats had stopped and did not continue on their way.
Bedell couldn't help but laugh, these small boats were no threat to them, even if they came to them, the Hongyi cannons equipped on the battleships could overturn them in one fell swoop.
Bader said, "Ignore them! What can these ships do? Beder looked at Zhang Biwu's fleet again, and then at the fort in Dayuan Harbor. At the same time, he was nervously paying attention to everything here, and he seemed very anxious and nervous.
The big war here is about to begin, please forgive the boy for taking the liberty to relay the situation in Chinese mainland first.
Emperor Yongli sent people to urge the armies in Zhang Biwu's territory to immediately obey his will and send troops to attack the Manchus.
However, Zhang Biwu's whole army was led by Lu Xiangsheng, Xuan Jianhao, etc., and they were unwilling to send troops to anything, they were all delaying, and at the same time. Lu Xiangsheng also sent people to Taiwan. In order to meet Zhang Biwu. Explain the situation to Zhang Biwu.
One thing is certain, Yongli has complaints about Zhang Biwu, as soon as he thinks that Zhang Biwu did not come to save him from Sun Kewang's humiliation before, he is very angry, he naturally resorts to violent means, and he has to contribute to this incident.
What's more, there are spies sent by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou in operation, their purpose is to make Yongli and Zhang Biwu fight, how can they do it if they don't grasp it well now?
He did not hesitate to kill Lu Xiangsheng and others. In order to complete the transfer of troops, Yongli was simply too anxious, too anxious, and he very much wanted to return to the dragon chair in the Forbidden City in the next moment!
Naturally, the danger of Lu Xiang's promotion came. Let's not talk about the danger of Lu Xiangsheng's ranking, but say that the envoy Ji Liuqi sent by Lu Xiangsheng was ordered to catch up with Zhang Biwu's fleet, so as to report everything to Zhang Biwu and how to deal with it.
And when he stood in the harbor, he saw strong winds and waves, like such bad weather, no one dared to go to sea! Even if you're in the business. Who is not afraid of death? Still not out of the way.
"Alas! What should I do? What to do! Lord, Lord! Ji Liuqi walked back and forth in the port. said: "If you don't think of a good way soon, or if you have to reply to the emperor with a reply from the lord, I'm really afraid that the emperor will do something!" It wasn't good then! ”
Ji Liuqi was in a hurry, but there was no way, he waited left and right, and finally arrived on the first day of the new year, only to wait until the wind and clouds stopped, so that he could set sail to Taiwan.
But on this side of the Taiwan Strait, the fierce battle has begun! And if Ji Liuqi arrives, he will be late, and it is impossible for Zhang Biwu to go back in the short term.
Yes! Beder attracted Zhang Biwu and wanted to let the artillery attack. But at this moment, some people appeared next to their warship, and these people surfaced, and they removed the waterproof packaging on the outside, and they tore open the guide rope one after another, and then lit the fuse with flint.
"What is this!" The red-haired ghost shouted in Dutch, "It's the enemy! Shoot them! "They thought it was too late. The frogmen immediately sprang into action, throwing all the gunpowder packets onto the battleship one by one.
"Boom! Boom! "The bombing is endless! Come to think of it, there are fifty frogmen in this diving, and they are holding fifty packets of explosives, even if they can't throw them all at each other's battleships, but there are still quite a few of them!
Under the continuous explosion, Bedel's battleship will be greatly damaged, and the injured battleship will not be able to exert super speed at that time.
"What's going on!" Beder shouted, he never expected anyone to dive here! And a bombing operation was carried out on his ship.
"Destroy them! Annihilation! Lift a bucket to extinguish the fire! Beder cried out, and he was displeased that all the soldiers on board were panicked!
"Boom!" Another spark bag was thrown, and when Beder looked up, he saw that it was still a white powder bag, but it exploded in mid-air, and it exploded not far from Bedel. Badel's instinctive instinct was to crouch down to hold his head, but even then, the force of the impact made it impossible for him to stand still, and he fell to the ground with his ass.
"Ahh Beder couldn't help but look at it, he was angry! The whole face is on fire. Roaring: "Damn! Disgusting! I'm! ”
When Zhang Biwu saw it, he was overjoyed and said, "Ha Lu Ha! Good! Fast! Speed up the horsepower! Rush up! We must destroy all the enemy ships! Let the red-haired ghost know how good we are! ”
"Good!" The soldiers are all excited, since you Zheng Chenggong has made meritorious service to the army, then we can't lag behind! We'll have to refuel and blow up the enemy's ships.
Zhang Biwu's fleet began to disperse, this is to take the momentum of encirclement! Everyone is holding their breath, and they have to eliminate all the red-haired ghosts!
"It's time to act! Otherwise, we're all going to be finished! Beder shouted! He kept urging, but his ship was badly damaged, sluggish, and clumsy!
And as soon as he saw that Bedel's battleship was attacked by frogmen in Dayuan Harbor, he felt that something was wrong!
He shouted, "Quick! I'm going to send my York! I'm going to do it myself! I'm going to wipe them all out! I'm going to free Captain Beder! ”
As he spoke, he immediately began to act, even if his ship was dispatched, then it would be too late!
After all, it was still quite far from Badel's warship, and Badel's situation was in an extremely dangerous situation.
Knowing that the situation did not allow him to be on the ship any longer, and knowing that if he stayed like this, he would become a prisoner, so he shouted: "Hurry! Drop off the dinghy! I'm a proud Dutch soldier! We must not be allowed to be captured by the barbarians! ”
And you say proud Dutch soldiers? But weren't you defeated by the Ming army? And not only defeated once, but was also defeated by Zhang Biwu when he was in Guangzhou before!
The dinghy was launched, and Beder ordered his men to hurry up and sail towards the Grand Commander's Harbor.
Zhang Biwu's fleet surrounded three enemy ships, they would not blow up the enemy ships, they wanted to capture these enemy ships, so as to conduct research, in order to develop powerful warships. Of course, the Hongyi cannon on the ship is very valuable to Zhang Biwu and them, and it will be a sharp weapon to fight against the Manchus in the future.
And the red-haired ghosts on the battleship jumped into the water one after another, and they tossed and turned on the water one by one, constantly shaking their arms, shouting wildly: "Help me! ”
When they saw the Yorktown in the distance, they shouted, "Lord Governor! Come and save us! Come on! ”
When he saw it, he shouted, "Hurry! Hurry up! Go and save our soldiers! But he didn't know that even his own warships would be destroyed by the Han Chinese? Save! You can't protect yourself.
On the other hand, in Luermen, seven warships are still on display. Looking at it from afar, he saw that the battle situation on his side was unfavorable, and even the Governor's warships were dispatched.
At first glance, you can see that there is a huge disparity! The sea battle will be their Dutch defeat, and they will not be able to go out to save the Governor?
In the unlikely event that the other side is allowed to land at Dayuan Port, it will be difficult for Taiwan to hold on. This time, it was difficult to aim at Shiding, he was walking around on the board, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while!
The generals around him were all looking at the commander, and none of them could make a sound. But someone said, let's attack! After all, there are many reefs here, and the enemy can't attack here, so it's better to attack them, and all the ships will hit the reefs!
Besides, looking at the battle situation, the coalition forces are fully pressed to Dayuangang, and they have no intention of coming here at all! Why stay here?
He was still beating the drum in his heart, because he remembered the death order he had given to him - no matter what the circumstances, he could not send troops to leave Luermen. (To be continued......)
