Liu Kongzhao heard the military order from Zheng Zhilong's flagship in front of him, and couldn't help but give a piece of jade to the Zheng family beside him for a while: "What is your uncle going to do?" ”

The Zheng family guard beside him got Liu Kongzhao's reward and hurriedly explained to Liu Kongzhao in detail: "If you go back to the lord, the landing can be accelerated by water power at high tide, and these broken sailboards can be easily washed down, and basically the fence can be directly broken!" ”

At that time, when the hull of the ship suddenly shook, Liu Kongzhao saw hundreds of warships suddenly ride the wind, break through the obstacles, and crash directly into the inland sea, and at the same time he heard the rumbling of cannons, and there were many huge cannons in the Zheng family's fleet, and there were obviously many skilled gunners, and the artillery was very accurate, and soon a pass called Chijibao collapsed.

At some point, the Zheng officers and soldiers, who had already been prepared, rushed into the fort and seized Heliao Port.

Whether it was in the fort or in the harbor, the Dutch defenders were obviously not as fearless as the Zheng officers and soldiers, and they fled directly into the desert without firing a few shots.

Liu Kongzhao had only one feeling in his heart, that is, these Zheng officers and soldiers were very experienced in fighting, and they had no fear at all when they charged under artillery fire.

"They're all elite soldiers! How could these whites, blacks, and widows be so willing to give him his life as a Zheng official! ”

Liu Kongzhao had to sigh.

At that time, when Liu Kongzhao was still in his trance, a sail warship appeared in the harbor and rushed out of the entire harbor, and began to bombard the warships of the Zheng Group of the Ming Dynasty, intending to prevent the further landing of the Zheng Group.

And Zheng's fleet was not afraid, and sixty Daxi ships rushed forward.

As mentioned earlier, this kind of Daxi ship is based on the splint structure of Western ships and the appearance structure of Fuship, which is the main warship of the Zheng family, which is light and fast, has the ability to resist hard collisions, and can also carry giant cannons, so it can be besieged, even the ace warships of the Dutch colonists cannot parry.

Hundreds of guns and thousands of guns bombarded the sail warship, and even the brave Zheng officers and soldiers had jumped onto the Dutch sail warship and fought hand-to-hand with the Dutch.

The soldiers under the command of the Zheng clan are all outlaws at sea, and many of them are used to fighting, many of them are Africans, tall, arrogant and ferocious, coupled with the strong weapons and equipment of the Zheng clan, the Dutch colonists who only know how to bully the indigenous civilians naturally can't fight the soldiers under the command of the Zheng clan.

Soon these Dutch colonists were defeated.

"This is the main battleship Hector under the command of the Emperor, it is their so-called third-class battleship, which is much smaller than your one, but it is also very powerful, these red-haired fans are not powerful, they are powerful in shipbuilding and artillery."

Liu Kongzhao listened to the Zheng guards on the side explain.

"The tigers can't stand the wolves!"

Liu Kongzhao only has such a feeling now.

He thought that as long as his ship was big enough and the artillery was good enough, he would one day surpass the Zheng group.

But he now found that the gap between his Ming navy and the Zheng group's navy was not in warships and artillery, but in naval battle command tactics.

To put it bluntly, it's "people"!

Liu Kongzhao couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Only then did this lord understand why His Majesty wanted to establish the Ming Ship Political Bureau, and why did you Zheng officials help the imperial court train naval officers." ”

At this time, Kau, the fleet commander of the Hector, was not only panicked but also surprised.

Because he saw the figure of his strongest battleship of the Dutch East India Company, the "Stubborn John".

"My God, what's going on, how can the Stubborn John be in the hands of the Zheng family, could it be that they have already conquered Batavia City, or has Vanderland taken refuge in the Zheng family!"

Seeing this, Kaw, the fleet commander of the Hector, chose to give up resistance and began to raise the white flag to signal surrender.

There is no way, he knows the strength of the "Stubborn John", if even this battleship is captured by the Zheng clan, they will not have any foreign aid.

Coupled with such a strong offensive of the Zheng family, he had no way to resist.

However, Kau still ordered the news to be passed on to the chief officer of Tofan Island.

After knowing this, Kuichi also slapped the table angrily: "Vanderland! What are you doing! ”

At the same time, he also had to express his willingness to surrender.

The Sgraflan warship, the Maria fast sailing ship, and the Egret communication ship under the command of the Egret also gave up resistance directly after seeing the defeat on their side and even the first-class battleship "Stubborn John" appeared in Zheng's camp and fled towards the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company.

However, Liu Kongzhao did not follow the Zheng family ashore to accept the surrender of Hongmaofan at this time, but chased after these fleeing Dutch sailing ships.

He had already noticed the galleons that had been waiting to approach the periphery.

Now that he has a first-class warship here, he can naturally catch up immediately, and the Zheng family's fleet is not easy to stop the actions of him, the chief of the admiralty, and even has to send a few warships to help him pursue.

In the end, Liu Kongzhao succeeded in stopping the Sgraflan and the Egret communication ship, and only the Maria fast sailing ship was able to escape because it was too fast.

"Earned, earned! Spent 100,000 silver dollars to earn three warships, according to Vanderland's selling price, this Sgrafran warship should be worth 100,000 silver dollars, and this egret ship, it looks a little smaller, 50,000 total value, plus Lao Tzu's class sail battleship, spend 100,000 silver dollars to earn back a battleship worth 450,000 silver dollars, hahaha, good! Ben is going to report this to His Majesty! ”

Liu Kongzhao touched the leather chair in the stubborn John and smiled triumphantly.

"Sir, there is another one, just the Hector just now, according to His Majesty's will, this time in the battle to recover Dongfan, the prisoners and warships and equipment will be under the imperial navy, and the land in Dongfan will be under the management of Zheng Zongbing", Chu Huaisheng hurriedly reminded Liu Kongzhao at this time.

"Yes, yes, and this Hector, fortunately you reminded Benjue", Liu Kongzhao walked out, and saw that the Hector was half down on the sea, and there was still a fire burning, so he couldn't help shouting:

"What's going on, why doesn't anyone care, go and put out the fire, go and put out the fire, this warship is what His Majesty wants, if you let him burn out, how many of your heads will be cut off!"

Liu Kongzhao jumped up anxiously, and the people of the Zheng Group did not dare to disobey his will, and as soon as they heard that His Majesty wanted it, they also hurriedly brought dozens of people to fight the fire.

Not long after, the fire was also extinguished, and the Hector was also driven over, and Liu Guoxuan, the general of the Zheng Group, said to Liu Kongzhao: "Sir, the fire is extinguished, but the shell chamber and powder chamber are burned out, but they can still be opened, but I am afraid that they will not be able to fire." ”

"Can you fix it?"

Liu Kongzhao hurriedly asked with concern.

"We can't, but these red-haired fans should be able to", after Liu Guoxuan replied, Liu Kongzhao hurriedly asked them to gather these captured red-haired fans, escort them to the Hector, let these people repair the ship, and let Chu Huaisheng take someone to personally supervise.
