There are five large battalions of the Imperial Navy, the rear army battalion is the weakest, basically there are not a few main warships, because the warships are preferentially deployed to other battalions, and the Chinese battalion is the strongest, there is no way, Cha Bolt is in charge of the navy, the strength of the descendants is insufficient, and now a large number of Fujian naval divisions have been reorganized in, in order to be able to stabilize the situation and control the entire navy, the Chinese army battalion that is personally in charge must maintain its advantage over other battalions.

Whether it is the number or the power of artillery, the strength of the Chinese army battalion is the strongest among all the battalions, Cha Xuan made up his mind, he must encircle and annihilate the opponent in the East China Sea, and he must use these rebellious blood to establish the supreme prestige of the Ming Empire!

"Order, all warships, no matter waiting for my order, all enter the combat state and take the initiative to attack!"

Cha Xuan shouted in a deep voice.

All the battleships quickly approached the opponent, and one shell after another was stuffed into the barrel, and immediately with the roar of artillery, the cannonballs slashed through the air and hit the opponent!

In the battle just now, Zheng Cai has already appreciated the power of the opponent's flower cannon and rocket, the flower cannon is good to say, he has seen it after all, but this rocket is unguardable, Zheng Cai's fleet was caught off guard, making a sullen loss, and now the road back is blocked by the opponent, Zheng Cai secretly screamed in his heart, no matter whether the arms can be grabbed or not, he must immediately find a way to get out, look at the current posture of the Ming army, the entire sea, the Ming army fleet has been surrounded into an ellipse, There are Ming warships in all directions, there are no less than eighty warships, such a strength is far from what his more than thirty warships can compete with, even if it is combined with Van der Vaart, it is definitely not the opponent of the Ming Empire!

While Zheng Cai was thinking about how to break out of the encirclement, Van der Vaart's sea ships were chased by the Imperial Navy and rushed all the way to the vicinity of Zheng Cai's fleet.

"Flags, flags! My lord, it was Mr. van der Vaart's ship, and his ship had escaped, and it was only four miles from us! ”

Zheng Cai heard Williams's shout, and his heart was shocked, tens of thousands of muskets, hundreds of boxes of ammunition, this is the foundation of the Zheng family's foothold in the future! Fight, specially, don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, for this batch of arms, Lao Tzu will gamble!

"Order, the fleet stops advancing, waiting for Van der Vaart to come up, ready to cover Mr. Van der Vaart's ships to fight their way out of the encirclement!"

Zheng Cai actually stopped the fleet at this critical time, waiting for Van der Vaart to approach, but at this time, the Dutch couldn't care so much.

Soria, the general of the Dutch army, is already anxious, so many warships, surrounded by himself and Zheng Cai's fleet in the middle, the number of warships is close to twice that of his own, look at the flowering cannons of the Ming army, the power is too great, and there are rockets, the firepower of each battleship is only stronger than the firepower of the Dutch fleet, run, if you don't run, then you will be unlucky!

Soria didn't care about the life or death of Zheng Cai's fleet on the other side, and began to launch a ferocious attack towards the south!

Cha Xuan looked coldly at the two fleets in the encirclement, one of them was the fleet of Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon, which was beyond doubt, but what about the other fleet? Looking at it from a distance, it doesn't look like a Chinese or a slave, is it really the fleet of red-haired devils? Do they really have such guts?

I don't even dare to check the bolt, if it's true, then the courage of the red-haired devil is inevitably too great, this is almost equivalent to openly declaring war on the Ming Empire, and their red-haired devils can bear the next anger of the Ming Empire? Maybe the Ming Empire is now dealing with the Dutch Kingdom tens of thousands of miles away, but to clean up the Dutch in the South Seas, I believe that it is definitely not an impossible thing, according to the emperor's temper, it is almost certain that as long as the identity of the fleet is determined, the emperor will definitely not be soft, the creed of the Tianwei Army has always been revenge!

"Give the order, narrow the encirclement, launch a siege on the enemy, live or die! Saturation shelling! ”

Seeing that Soria's fleet rushed up, Cha Xuan unceremoniously issued a siege order, anyway, the Zheng family's fleet on the other side is not running now, so let's clean up the fleet on this side first!

The large battalion of the Chinese army and the large battalion of the right flank squeezed forward one after the other, squeezing towards Soria's fleet, and on the battleship, almost all the artillery that could be used was thrown into the battle, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of shells rained down on Soria's fleet.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Dutch ships were blown up by the flowering cannons, and the huge waves set off by the explosion made the warships even more turbulent, and the Dutch fleet did not show weakness and launched a counterattack against the opponent.

However, it is obvious that now Soria is in a passive situation, the strength of the Ming Empire's navy is too strong, even if the combat quality of the naval officers and soldiers is not as good as the Dutch, and now the Dutch have been trapped, Soria's forehead can't stop beating, constantly roaring, commanding the warships to constantly counterattack, the cannonballs in the sky shuttle back and forth, and the entire sea surface has been covered by gunsmoke and fog, and even the sun can't be seen.

Cha Zhu went all out to encircle Soria, and Zheng Cai in the distance took Van der Vaart onto his ship.

"Mr. van der Vaart, how's it going, have you gotten all the munitions?"

Zheng Cai asked urgently.

"Haha, General Zheng, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, 10,000 muskets, 600 boxes of ammunition, intact, all brought out, but this sea ship is not good, it has suffered four or five shells, and the bow of the ship is on fire, if it encounters a huge wave on the way back, it will definitely sink......"

Van der Vaart replied.

Zheng Cai was shocked, it seems that Vandervaart is really desperate this time, this is not big, that is, a sea ship of 800 materials, and it is also an ordinary merchant ship, not a warship, far less solid than the main battleship, now in this situation, not to mention that when encountering strong winds and waves when returning to the next voyage, even if it is encountering several waves of shelling, I am afraid that I will be buried directly in the sea.

No, absolutely not!

"Come, give the order, gather all the sailors on board, all of them, and exchange all the muskets and ammunition for our handsome ship! You have to be quick, give you two quarters of an hour, that's exhaustion, and you have to throw all those munitions on the handsome ship for me! ”

With so many munitions, only two quarters of an hour is given, Zheng Cai is really anxious, no matter how long it is, I am afraid that if I want to change ships, it will be too late!

The herald ordered the fleet to keep a certain distance, change into a double column, and sprint towards the encirclement with all its might, don't fall in love with the battle, and be sure to return to Dongying safely! ”
