The 48-pounder Caron gun has a flat firing distance of less than 100 meters, and even if the elevation angle is raised, the maximum firing range will not exceed 400 meters, and the accuracy is very poor, and when fighting, it must be within 200 meters of the enemy in order to hit the enemy ship more accurately, but this kind of cannon is not the pursuit of long-range shooting ability, but the huge destructive power of close combat, a solid bullet weighs forty or fifty pounds, and it is enough to destroy the ship's board if it smashes on the enemy ship close to its weight.

So don't look at the fact that it didn't have many guns, but in close combat, it was very terrifying, and the ship, under the cover of the rest of the ships, came close to the side of a Dutch warship, and only revealed its hideous face.

First of all, the forty-eight-pounder Caron gun in the bow opened fire, and with one shot it hit the left rear side of the enemy ship, and the forty-eight-pounder shell tore a huge hole in the port side of the Dutch ship like a piece of torn paper, and directly disemboweled the gun compartment of the ship.

And when this cannon passed, the personnel and cannons in the gun compartment of the Dutch warship suffered heavy losses, scattered fragments of the ship's planks flew everywhere in the cabin, and many crew members and gunners screamed and threw themselves on the deck, and even overturned the cannons in the three gun compartments, and some sailors were crushed by the shells on the spot, tearing their limbs and broken arms everywhere, and the internal organs and intestines were sticky everywhere.

Before the Dutch on board could react, the forty-eight-pounder gun at the stern of the ship began to fire, but the Caron gun was not loaded with solid shells, but loaded with a whole large barrel of shotshots weighing dozens of pounds, enough to have thousands of irons, and bombarded the disemboweled Dutch ship.

Thousands of pieces of iron, about the size of a little thumb, flew towards the Dutch ships like a torrential rain, and a large number of cannons were fired directly into the gun compartments of the Dutch ships from the disemboweling places, and a large number of shotguns flew over the deck.

Now the Dutch were unlucky, whether it was the gun compartment or the deck, it was as if they had been swept by an iron broom, and immediately a large number of people on board were killed and wounded, and more than half of the sailors on this Dutch warship were wiped out in just one shot, and they were completely incapacitated.

The effect of this cannon was not only that, the captain who commanded the battle on the deck, including the helmsman who steered the stern, was also killed on the spot in this gun, and the already clumsy hull, after losing its command and helmsman, suddenly fell across the sea like a dead fish, and all the cannons on the ship were dumbfounded.

Seeing that the Dutch warship had lost the ability to resist, two seawolf warships immediately rushed over and stuck to the sides of the ship, and the soldiers on the ship, under the order of the officer, immediately threw out rope hooks or hooked the side of the enemy ship with hooks, and hung up several soft ladders.

A large number of soldiers immediately began to climb the Dutch ship with a single knife in their mouths or axes or short spears in their waists, and began to fight with them in a white-knuckle battle.

The Dutch ship had already suffered heavy casualties, more than half of the casualties had already been lost, and now the captain and the officers on board were basically wiped out, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance, and after almost no long fighting, the sea wolves seized the ship and captured it completely.

The other Dutch ships were not having a good time, under the siege of the sea wolves' wolf pack tactics, they struggled to parry, and although the gunners on the ships also tried their best, they were never able to suppress the sea wolves' artillery fire, but on the contrary, the guns were destroyed one after another, making their firepower weaker and weaker.

The fierce battle did not last very long, and the sky was white, Waite's face was pale, and he looked at the shape of the battlefield, and now his fleet was all divided and surrounded by sea wolves, and they could not take care of each other at all, and he knew better than anyone else that they Dutch had no chance to turn defeat into victory, and if they continued to fight, they might be wiped out.

Seeing that one of their ships had hoisted the white flag and withdrawn from the battle, it was obvious that it had been controlled by the enemy, and the other two remaining ships had basically lost their ability to maneuver, and it was only a matter of time before they were sunk or captured, and he had no power to relieve them and rescue them.

So at this time, Waite gave an order in pain, ordering his ship to stop staying, immediately rush out of the encirclement at full speed, and flee to Dayuan Port, now his only possibility is to retreat to Dayuan Port, relying on Dayuan Port to provide some protection for his ship, because his ship has also been injured at this time, and it is impossible to escape back to Batavia, and only after simple repairs in Dayuan Port can he return to Batavia.

So he had to quickly withdraw from the battle and escape from here, so under his command, the nearly 800-ton ship he sat on began to raise its full sails, and after eating the wind, it gradually began to accelerate, and at the same time, the cannons on both sides exerted a firing speed beyond the usual level, desperately firing at the surrounding sea wolf ships to intercept these ships from besieging them.

But at this time, how could the sea wolves let them go again, and the two captured Spanish warships immediately rushed over at this time, and attacked Waite's ship left and right, although these two Spanish warships were far less big than Waite's warships, and their firepower was not as strong as his, but they were also not to be underestimated.

With the help of these two ships, the sea wolf immediately seized the initiative again, gained the advantage of the artillery battle, and hit the fragments of Waite's ship.

From time to time, Waite lowered his head for the first time, dodging the debris flying everywhere on the ship, his mouth was bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, he now completely regretted it, regretting that he should not despise this group of sea wolves, originally he thought that with the strength of his fleet, even if he couldn't win the sea wolf, at least there was no problem with retreating.

But after this encounter, he learned that this group of Chinese pirates, whether in terms of courage, training and equipment, has far exceeded his previous understanding, and he has completely failed this battle.

Just when Waite was still thinking about breaking through and escaping, several flying clippers also surrounded him, and they completely blocked Waite's escape.

And at this time, there was actually a wave of warship, regardless of the bombardment of the tail gun of Waite's ship, and hit Waite's warship straight from behind.

This ship was just an ordinary-looking bird boat, with a displacement of only a few dozen tons, and in front of Waite's big ship, it was like a baby facing a giant, but it still crashed towards the stern of Waite's seat without hesitation.

Waite also noticed the actions of the enemy ship at this time, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, although he knew that the enemy's ship could not sink his ship when it collided, but the location they chose was really the most critical place for the warship, this place was also the weakest position of their warship, and it was also the position where the rudder was installed, once it was damaged, even if his ship was not damaged, the rudder would be damaged.

If the rudder is broken, then his ship will be completely out of control, and the next thing will be to be slaughtered.

So Weite hurriedly ordered the helmsman to turn, and ordered the tail gun to sink the enemy ship immediately, but by the time he gave the order, it was already too late.

Although his ship also began to turn awkwardly, trying to avoid the impact of the enemy ship, the stern guns also opened fire again, and hit the ship accurately, opening a large hole in the deck of the ship, and the shells even went through the whole ship, even the bottom of the ship was pierced, but it still did not prevent the ship from crashing straight into it.

Hearing only a click, Waite was suddenly shocked and fell to the stern deck, and the people on the sea wolf's warship all fell into a rolling gourd, and suddenly the bow of the ship broke, a large amount of seawater poured into the hull, just a moment of work, the ship began to sink, the captain of the ship roared and ordered to abandon the ship, everyone immediately jumped into the icy water without hesitation, and swam desperately towards the nearby friendly ship.

On the surface, Waite's ship appeared to be undamaged, but immediately after the impact, their rudder steering mechanism was damaged, and the rudder was stuck in one position and could no longer move, so his ship immediately began to cross the sea, completely incapacitated.

All the Dutch were deflated, and the rudder of the ship meant to be destroyed, and they knew very well that the possibility of their final escape from the battlefield was completely destroyed by this time.

"Hang the white flag! Sue sù sea wolf, we surrender! Drop the sails and close the gun doors! Everyone give up resistance! After Waite got up from the deck of the ship, he looked at the battlefield, his face became even paler, and after gritting his teeth, he finally gave the order.

Yu Xiaotian did not personally receive the captured Wette, but only ordered all the captives to be temporarily imprisoned in the prisoner camp, and the captured Dutch warships were temporarily towed to the Tamsui Bunker to wait for the next repair.

In this battle, even he did not expect that he would completely annihilate the Dutch fleet, not even a single Dutch warship, and capture five of them, including the largest one where Waite was sitting.

The other two warships were sunk in the Tamsui River, and the other was on the battlefield outside the mouth of the Tamsui River, because the ammunition compartment inside the ship was hit, a large amount of ammunition was killed, and it was completely blown up on the spot and sunk into deep water, and there was no possibility of salvage and repair.

In this battle, the sea wolf also lost seven ships below the No. 2 Fu ship, and the rest of the ships were damaged, killing and wounding more than 200 naval personnel, but for such a loss, the sea wolf can bear it, and it will not let the sea wolf break his muscles and bones.

The reason why he didn't bother with the Dutch commander Waite was because he had more important things to do, and these days he had almost stayed up all night, keeping an eye on the situation in the entire Taiwan Strait, constantly analyzing the enemy's situation.
