Li Mingrui is not good at naval warfare, but his assistant Liu Guoxuan is a famous naval general who has followed Zheng Zhilong and now follows Zheng Chenggong to gallop in the South Seas for a long time.

Therefore, the actual commander of the Ming army who is now responsible for commanding the Ming ocean-going fleet in the naval battle against the Netherlands is Liu Guoxuan.

When more than 200 warships of the Daming Ocean Fleet appeared in Sirixi, they met the Dutch fleet led by the famous Dutch general Denette.

Two hundred and forty Ming warships lined up in battle, and the Dutch fleet also lined up in battle.

The Dutch fleet took advantage of the advantage of waiting for work to open fire on the west coast of Silic first, and the shells fired by more than 4,000 guns overturned and rushed straight to the battle line of the Ming fleet.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan immediately commanded all the battleships on the left flank of the Ming Dynasty to turn around to reduce the possibility of being hit by the shells of the Dutch fleet, and at the same time, the battleships on the right flank battle line that were staggered with the left flank immediately opened fire.

Thousands of shells fired by the Dutch fleet capsized on the left flank of the Guards, some of them hit the stern or mast of the Ming Dynasty, and some of the shells smashed the Ming officers and men into pieces, and a scream came.

The commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet, De Knight, laughed happily when he saw this, this was the first time he had led hundreds of warships in such a large-scale naval battle, and he was very satisfied with his choice of a combat area like Sirixi, which was convenient for ambushes at sea, and even shouted:

"Stupid yellow pig, you will never come back!"

Rumble!

However, this Denet was not happy for long, and the fleet artillery on the right flank of the Ming Dynasty had already fired shells, all of which were forty-five pound flowering grenades, and after rifling and squeezing, they landed on the hundred battleships of the Dutch fleet at an extremely fast speed and without error.

The wooden sailing ships of the Dutch fleet could not withstand such a bombardment at all, and they burst open, and the Dutch officers and men were directly killed on the spot or blown away.

Almost every Dutch battleship in the entire Dutch fleet was set on fire.

"Continue to bombard Lao Tzu, the left flank turned around again, drove rapidly to the northeast, and seized the upper hand", Liu Guoxuan gave an order at the same time, and the Daming artillery fired another round of rapid fire a minute later, blowing up the Dutch artillery who was loading ammunition and the artillery again.

"My God, Your Excellency the Governor, why is your artillery so fast, why is it so long, why is it so powerful, how is your artillery firing from the rear load, why are you no longer round iron bullets, but pointed copper bullets", the Duke of York of the British Empire asked Li Mingrui in horror.

The observer groups of the other Western countries also widened in horror, they had never seen such powerful artillery.

The Ming artillery was still firing, because it was twice as fast as the Dutch artillery, so that the Dutch fleet was constantly pressed and beaten by the Ming fleet, and the Dutch fleet was sunk sixteen warships not long after.

"This, why is this, how did they launch so quickly", the commander of the Dutch fleet, De Knight, was also shocked, but in addition to being shocked, he also hurriedly ordered the rest of the Dutch warships to flee north.

As soon as the Dutch warships came, the left flank Daming fleet immediately capsized with 5,000 howitzers, and the Dutch fleet was blown up and sunk more than 20 warships, and more than 30 warships lost power.

But now De Knight has lost his fighting spirit, and only knows to run desperately with the Dutch battleship.

At this time, the Ming flagship "Kaiping Wang" has caught up, steam and sail dual power, it is very fast, the Duke of the British Empire York and the Duke of France Philip I are stunned: "My God, such a speed, it is too unexpected!" ”

At this time, under the noses of Duke York of the British Empire and Philip I, Duke of France, the flagship of the Ming Dynasty "Kaiping" had approached the flagship of the Dutch fleet "Yiendracht".

York, Duke of the British Empire, exclaimed: "Your Excellency the Governor, what kind of artillery firing principle is this in your country, you even thought of destroying its sails first, it turns out that war can still be played like this!" ”

Li Mingrui was too lazy to deal with these Western fantasies, and at this time he only watched Liu Guoxuan command the "Kaiping Wang" to approach the flagship of the Dutch fleet, the "Eendracht", and the officers and men of the navy immediately took out machine guns, shotguns, and rifles to shoot at the Dutch officers and soldiers on the deck of the "Eendracht".

One by one, the Dutch officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, and the flintlock pistols in the hands of these Dutch officers and soldiers had no effect on the Ming Navy at all.

"The Imperial musket is so sharp, and it can be fired continuously, my God, how far behind us are in your country", Philip I, Duke of France, also had to sigh.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan had already hidden most of the Dutch officers and soldiers in the cabin, so he ordered the "Kaiping Wang" to continue the bombardment, one hundred and twenty guns, two hundred and forty shells in two minutes all capsized on the lost power of the Dutch flagship "Yiendracht", the Dutch flagship "Yiendracht" was blown open in an instant, the hull was directly divided into two halves, countless Dutch officers and soldiers were blown up and screamed, Denet also wanted to cry and swim desperately in the sea without tears: "What kind of devil are we provoking? Why is there such a powerful firepower! ”

The Western observation group on the "Kaiping King" was also terrified at this time, and secretly said: "We must not be enemies of such an empire in the future, otherwise it will be the fate of the Netherlands!" ”

Seeing that the Dutch commander-in-chief, De Knight, was desperately swimming forward, Liu Guoxuan immediately raised a rifled gun and aimed it at De Knight, one shot followed by another, and De Knight was shot in each hand.

"Capture him!"

As a result, the Ming Navy dragged this De Knight up from the sea and threw it in front of the Western Observation Group, Liu Guoxuan and Li Mingrui.

De Knight screamed in pain, but after seeing the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he rebuked him even more: "Why are you so cruel, we have all jumped into the sea, why do you still want to chase and kill!" Why did you slaughter the people of our East India Company, why did you kill us on our soil! ”

"Because you first killed our Han people, and whoever offended my Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty will repay him tenfold, and I will take him down and prepare to deal with him strictly in three days! Observer missions from all countries must also participate, and now Liu Guoxuan leads the forward battalion to pursue the remnants of the Dutch fleet, and the rest go to The Hague Port with his own officer to land! All officers and soldiers at all levels put on bayonets and prepared to sacrifice the Han people who died in our Ming Dynasty! ”

After Li Mingrui finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
