The bearded man on the opposite side was startled, he didn't expect that the army not only had big ships, but also artillery that could fight so far, but when he saw that the closest drop point of those projectiles was also far away from their ship, he put his mind at ease, and the two sides approached quickly, for Duan Fei and them, they couldn't ask for it, but for these Dutchmen, it was helpless, the port was so big, the exit was blocked, and there was very little room for turning, and if they didn't break out of a gap, they would have to let people eat meat.

After the two sides approached, the Dutchman's ship began to turn first, and Duan Fei immediately understood that the Franc cannon they imitated was indeed inferior to the real Franc cannon in terms of range, but looking at the trajectory of the other party, the Franc cannon that had entered the third generation of imitation should be a little stronger than the opponent in terms of accuracy.

More than half of the shells fired by the enemy ship smashed on the hull of the Daifuku ship, but Duan Fei and the others only felt a shock under their feet, and some sailors ran to the edge of the ship and swept down, and the person immediately reported back: "My lord, our ship is protected by iron armor, and those cannons just now tickled us, and the hull is fine, but it is concave in a few places."

The ship suddenly thundered with joy, when the hull was wrapped in iron armor, many people were skeptical, thinking that the iron armor was too heavy, not to mention the waste of money, but also affected the load and ship speed, under the insistence of Duan Fei, the Dafu ship of the East China Sea Fleet was fully loaded with iron armor, and now it has been proved that this is a correct decision, the value of a warship is not how high its cost is, but that it can last longer in battle, giving the enemy greater damage and deterrence, what is the ironclad ship? Sooner or later, the ships that sail on the sea are made of steel, and the wooden ships are outdated.

The pirates on the opposite side didn't have time to be surprised, because Wu Huai'an had already issued an order, and a total of twenty Daifuku ships in four rows were scattered and chased towards them in an outflanking way, although the depth of Changhua Port was large, under such outflanking, Redbeard had no other choice, he stubbornly let his ships be concentrated, like an arrow, and drilled between the two Daifuku ships of the East China Sea Fleet.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides launched a hand-to-hand artillery bombardment, under the close shelling, the armor of the Daifuku ship was still blasted through, but only through a hole, the shells failed to cause greater damage, the red-haired ghost's galleon was unlucky, their ship had few small guns, sandwiched between the two Daifuku ships, each side had to withstand the bombardment of forty guns, within the firing range of the target was in the best firing state, the trained naval gunners mercilessly smashed the shells to the enemy ship, and the red-haired ghost's galleon was smashed everywhere in a blink of an eyeThe speed of the ship was greatly reduced, and just as the army was ready for the second cannon, these Dutch pirate ships raised the white flag, knowing that if they did not surrender, the game would be over.

The well-disciplined gunners of the Shu army stopped the shelling, and Wu Huai'an ordered twenty Daifuku ships to surround the five red-haired sailing ships, and then sent two medium transport ships to accept the surrender, while the other naval ships continued to march towards the pier, and just as they were approaching the pier, there was a sound of bombardment and artillery fire from the pier, and there were still enemies on the shore who wanted to resist stubbornly.

Wu Huai'an used a telescope to observe that the other party had ten cannons on the shore, and the firing range should also be a Franc machine gun, he immediately dispatched two Dafu boats to approach the dock, and bombarded the two guns from afar, although they did not hit, but the advantage of the range was extremely obvious, and the other party never fired back, and after a while, a red-haired devil ran on the dock, he waved a white flag, announcing that the red-haired devil on the shore also chose to surrender.

The next thing is to be surrendered, Duan Fei sat leisurely on the tiger skin chair, the red beard with a swollen bag on his head was brought to Duan Fei, and it could be seen more clearly from a close distance, this red beard was full of messy hair, tangled with the beard, and it was indistinguishable at all, it looked like a lion, his figure was also very burly, and his appearance alone had enough deterrence, and a pair of eyes faintly flashed with essence, showing that this guy was not stupid, he was such a guy, relying on about fifty people and dozens of guns, Harassed the whole of Southeast Asia unpeacefully, even the Francophile couldn't catch them, if it wasn't for the carelessness, thinking that the Ming Dynasty was as easy to deal with as those ancient civilizations in India, otherwise it would not be so easy to catch him.

Wu Huai'an couldn't help laughing and said: "Redbeard, I finally caught you, you kid robbed me of several boats of jewelry, if I didn't think that I couldn't settle accounts with you with great fanfare, I would have killed you a long time ago!" It's good now, my lord, I bought this guy for ten taels of silver, and asked him to clean the toilet for me every day, haha......"

Duan Fei smiled and shook his head: "No, this batch of red-haired fans is of other uses, and they can't mess around with you." ”

Redbeard didn't know what Duan Fei was talking about, and when Duan Fei's gaze returned to him, he bowed slightly to Duan Fei, stroked his chest with his left hand, and muttered.

Fu Mink couldn't understand what this guy was talking about, so he interrupted Redbeard's words in Portuguese: "Do you understand Franco's language?" We adults don't understand what you're saying. ”

Redbeard was stunned, and said it in the stammering Francophone language, Fu Mink translated on his behalf, and Redbeard was to the effect that he surrendered to Daming on behalf of the Dutch, and was willing to pay a ransom to redeem himself and his compatriots and ships, and leave the Daming waters immediately, never daring to come back to harass and so on.

After hearing this, Duan Fei sneered and said, "How much silver are you willing to pay to redeem yourself?" You have seriously violated the dignity of my Ming Dynasty, invaded my Ming land, and injured so many Ming officers and soldiers, do you think you can make up for all this with silver? What's more, now that you have been completely wiped out, and the things on the ship or in the harbor are the spoils of your lord's war, what else can you exchange with your lord? ”

After listening to Fu Mink's translation, Redbeard hurriedly said: "Please forgive me, I know it's wrong, please make a price, I will try my best to make up the ransom and meet all the demands of the adults." ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "Do you plan to loot others again and raise the ransom to give to this official?" Or do you have another place to hide treasures, so you're not afraid of the lion opening your mouth? Come and take them down, the official is now going to take over the property of the red-haired pirates, and he has no time to interrogate them. ”

The water at the wharf of Changhua Port is not deep enough to dock the Daifuku ship, so the Daifuku ship can anchor and stop in the deep water area at a distance from the wharf.

Soon an account was handed over to Duan Fei, a total of thirty-four red-haired people were captured in this battle, and the rest were killed in the bombardment, and three hundred and twenty-five merchants and civilians were rescued from the Ming Dynasty, and another 1,753 slaves of all colors and colors were taken over from all over the world, most of these people were from Southeast Asia, a small number of them were from Africa, Arabia, India, and there were actually a few white people, among whom was a blonde and blue-eyed white girl, who was said to have just been snatched by Redbeard from a Francophone merchant ship, and was still a virgin, Redbeard hasn't been willing to enjoy it.

In addition to these slaves, Duan Fei also received more than five million taels of silver worth of stolen goods from these red-haired pirates, including gold, silver, jewelry, spices, porcelain, etc., which were all stolen by Redbeard and other pirates all the way from Europe, this time it was really a bumper harvest.
