Chapter 1504: Battle of Batavia (6)
Márquez was really ashamed to the extreme, Reynolds only left the Batavia harbor for half a day, that is, he had a meal back and forth, and he threw the fleets of these two countries into the sea, not to mention that Reynolds would settle accounts with himself next, even if people didn't settle accounts with themselves, he would already lose face and lose all his people!
Now that the main Spanish fleet has returned, it is necessary to fight with the Ming fleet, no matter what the victory or defeat is, anyway, you can't run away like this, otherwise, don't say yourself, even the entire Spanish kingdom, you can't raise your head with yourself!
Marquez commanded the Spanish fleet to go straight to the Ming fleet and launched a fierce battle, more than 80 warships were all put into the battle, and the Ming fleet fought together, the artillery of both sides was even more fierce than just now, and the shells were not fatal to greet each other!
In the distance, Reynolds was already gritting his teeth in anger, and now he is even more angry, this damn Marquez, is he crazy, if he doesn't lead the main fleet to retreat into the harbor quickly, he still has to continue to fight with the Ming fleet, isn't this self-defeating? Your Spanish fleet doesn't have enough ammunition, and, in particular, these seventy or eighty small warships of your own have been completely suppressed by the Ming army's fleet, you can support it, but Lao Tzu can't support it, these small ships, where can they withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Ming fleet?
At this time, the most important thing to do is to preserve the strength, to preserve the strength, either to the direction of Malacca, or to Semarang, first to avoid the edge of the Ming fleet, obviously, even if the two countries join forces, now there is not much hope to hold the Java Islands, it is better to retreat straight, and then pack up things and run away, come to the day, wait until the country sends reinforcements, and then fight to the death with the Ming Empire, this is the best choice, now fight to the death, all the family is gone, None of these people made it out of the Java Islands alive......
"Quick, raise the flag, order Márquez's fleet to immediately withdraw from the battle and retreat in the direction of Semarang! Fast! ”
Reynolds is very smart, as long as Marquez's fleet runs to Semarang, then he can retreat into the harbor safely, and then there will naturally be batteries to help in the battle, even if he can't defeat the Ming fleet, but in a short time, at least the Dutch and the Spaniards are safe, it's a big deal to go south with gold and silver treasures, land from Semarang, and slip away!
However, now Marquez's fleet has been fighting with the Ming fleet, and there are still three columns of the Ming Dynasty between the two fleets, plus the smoke of gunpowder, the visibility is too low, and the sentries on the sentry tower can't see the flag of retreat from Reynolds in the distance.
Reynolds is going to cry, damn bastard, if you don't leave, how can Lao Tzu go? Once I led the reinforcements into the bay, and this fleet of people helped in the past, wouldn't it be like a joke to destroy you? Such a bastard thing!
"Continue to raise the flag, order the battleship Minks to get out of the battle sequence, approach the battlefield to the east in a roundabout way, give Marquez an order, retreat immediately, and make sure they retreat quickly and get out of the battlefield! Damn it! ”
Reynolds angrily scolded, and a small battleship quickly withdrew from the battle and made a detour to the southeast!
On the opposite side, Cha Zhu and Zheng Haotian attacked Reynolds more violently, all the shells and rockets hit Reynolds's fleet desperately, and some Tian-class battleships even began to detour on both wings, ready to surround Reynolds, Reynolds gasped, this is the rhythm of preparing to annihilate himself in one fell swoop, once his fleet is surrounded, it will be dead, these small warships, after more than half an hour of fighting, withstood the surprise attack of tens of thousands of shells of the Ming fleet, At least half of the small warships have been destroyed, and once they are surrounded, they will not be able to hold out even a quarter of an hour, and they will have to be reimbursed in full!
"No matter, retreat! Retreat now! ”
Lenoz didn't dare to fight anymore, and if he continued to fight, he would have to make dumplings for his family!
A group of small warships have long been in love with the war, this is the most wretched battle, completely pressed by the human fleet, there is no power to fight back, and if it continues to fight, it can only be packed and rounded by others, run!
Reynolds ran away, Zheng Haotian wanted to continue the pursuit, and cleaned up all the remnants of Reynolds's defeated army, but was stopped by the check.
"Haotian, it's just a small group of remnants, even if he is surrounded and annihilated, it doesn't mean anything, but there are big guys behind us, the order to turn around, and the emperor and Lord Yang will clean up the main force of the Western Fleet!"
Cha Xuan shouted in a deep voice.
Zheng Haotian's heart sank, yes, turn around, there is still a big fish behind!
Zheng Haotian waved the command flag, and dozens of warships turned their course and made a detour towards Marquez's fleet!
"Lord Ministry, look in the distance, there is a lone Western warship!"
The second column changed course and headed southeast, just in time to see the battleship Minks heading east for the order from behind.
Cha Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he replied: "See, the small battleship, this is separated from the reinforcements just now, and it must be transmitting the news to the Western Forward fleet!" Order, Heaven-class battleship, a salvo from the bow gun, kill him for me! ”
At the sound of an order, the five frontmost Heaven-class battleships, the bow guns were all put into the shelling!
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
More than twenty shells blasted towards the Minks in the distance!
Hearing the clear sound of artillery behind him, Fleming, the captain of the battleship Minks, turned his head and saw dozens of shells rushing towards him!
"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, dodge the shelling! Fast! ”
Fleming's face changed drastically, and he roared madly, at this time, where is there time?
More than 20 shells rushed to the face, and two shells fell on the battleship Minks one after another, this is the most powerful bow gun, even if it is blown up on the main battleship, it is enough to drink a pot, let alone a small battleship with a displacement of more than 100 tons?
The tail rudder of the battleship Minks was directly destroyed by two shells, turned into a bald-tailed eagle, and slowly sank towards the bottom of the sea!
"Haha, well played! Well played! ”
Cha Xuan laughed and said: "We have to fight like this, dog, go full speed, we are going to copy the back road of the Western Forward Fleet and annihilate him in the South China Sea!" ”
