Chapter 1661: The End of the Coalition Forces (2)
The First Fleet was in the center, and the Second and Third Fleets were diagonally inserted on both sides, faintly encircling the Dara Bay, and the bow of the ship aimed its guns at the Western coalition forces in front of it, as if it would be thrown into a fierce battle at any time.
Troppe and Blake were completely dumbfounded, they didn't expect the Ming fleet to pounce so quickly, yes, in the battle of Nias Island, the casualties of the Ming army were not small, but compared to the Western Alliance, their losses were much smaller than the Western Fleet, and now the three fleets still maintain the scale of more than three hundred warships, and their strength is really better than the Western Alliance in front of them.
What's more, after a series of vicious battles, the England fleet and the Dutch fleet, as the main force, have suffered heavy losses, the main battleships have been seriously damaged, relying on auxiliary warships alone, absolutely unable to withstand the attack of the main battleships of the Ming army.
Now on land, the Tianxiong Army has gathered four artillery battalions, more than 100 artillery pieces are constantly attacking, and there are four rocket battalions to help, and there are more than 300 warships on the ocean to besiege the Western fleet, and the Western coalition forces are completely in a desperate situation, even if they can rush out and escape in a vicious battle, but what should the army do? There are still a large number of army here, and there are at least 20,000 small army troops on land who have not boarded the troop carrier, and they can't run if they want to, and in the end they can only become cannon fodder for the Tianxiong army.
"Haotian, let the Portuguese give the Western coalition army a flag and order them to surrender, if they surrender, they can be guaranteed not to die, if they continue to resist stubbornly, the Ming fleet will let them all die at the bottom of the sea, and all become the mouths of sharks!"
Xu Yifan shouted coldly.
Zheng Haotian hurriedly ordered the Portuguese sailors on the super battleship to start delivering the news to the Western Fleet, in a word, surrender unconditionally, spare you from dying, and then resist, and kill without mercy!
"General Troppe, General Black, on the opposite side of the flagship of the Ming army, sent us a banner, asking us to immediately give up the battle and surrender, otherwise, let us all be wiped out here!"
Above the mast, the Western herald spoke to Troppe and Black.
"Surrender? No way! ”
Before Tlopp could speak, Molde on the side began to roar, "Our French warriors will never surrender!" I'd rather die than surrender! ”
"Don't fall? If you don't surrender, will you wait for death? ”
Blake said astringently: "Molde, move your head, this is not the life and death of one or two people, but the life and death of tens of thousands of people, now the navy and army combined, there are more than 80,000 people, are we really all killed here?" We went out this time, but each country sent nearly half of the troops, it can be said that it was pouring out, and now it is a heavy loss, if all the remaining people are killed here, then the future countries will not be able to control the huge colonies at all! ”
Trope said in a deep voice: "Negotiation, surrender may not be, we still have the strength to fight, ask to negotiate with the Ming fleet, and strive for both sides to strike the army, this is the best ending, the expedition is doomed to failure, and now the only hope is to be able to bring the remaining soldiers back to Europa safely!" Flag words, I, the commander-in-chief of the Western coalition and the commander of the fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Admiral Tlopp, ask for negotiations with the commander of the Ming Empire! ”
Negotiation?
Several generals were moved, and Trop was right, if the problem could be solved through negotiation, and finally the coalition forces retreated, it would be great. That's right, it's negotiation!
The signal soldiers hurriedly waved their flags towards the opposite Ming fleet, conveying the requirements for negotiation.
"Negotiations?"
Xu Yifan got the news and smiled in amazement: "This group of fools who lack hearts and eyes, do you still think that they just arrived in Nanyang?" Now that you are cornered, you only think of negotiations? It's late! Tell them that either surrender or go to war, they choose their own two paths, and if they continue to resist, Ben Du will let them die one by one without a place to be buried! Give them a quarter of an hour, and if you don't agree, then don't blame Ben for being polite! ”
Westerners want to negotiate, Xu Yifan naturally can't do what they want, if you want to fight, then continue, anyway, now that you have the chance to win, if you are disobedient, then beat them!
In a quarter of an hour, the sweat on the foreheads of Trope and the others came down, the Ming fleet did not accept negotiations, either surrender or fight to the death, this is a personal life......
"Trope, otherwise, let's kill it now, anyway, there are already 20,000 elite troops on board the troop carrier, as long as they can kill it, and the rest of the things will come back, they can't kill all the troops on land, right?"
Molde exclaimed.
"Molde, what you think is beautiful!"
Philok was dissatisfied: "Dare to love your French army rushed up, right?" Now the land is full of British Army and Dutch Army, you all ran away, let us end up unlucky? Think beautifully! ”
Not only was Phelock dissatisfied, but even Troppe and Blake were dissatisfied, Fellok was right, this Molde was too cunning, he was the commander of the army, commanding the French infantry to withdraw to the troop carrier first, and threw the Dutch army, the British army and the remnants of the Portuguese army on the land, and now escape, the unlucky one is the Anglo-Dutch army......
"Give the Ming fleet a signal again, now we still have at least two hundred and fifty warships, the strength is not much weaker than the Ming fleet, if you really want to fight to the death, it will not be beneficial to both sides, and ask their commanders to think about it, it is not good for anyone to lose both, if we negotiate, we are willing to accept some unequal conditions in exchange for a peaceful withdrawal!"
"Just let us get out of the way, and the rest will be fine!" ”
Soon, Xu Yifan's reply came, but his reply was a cannonball!
Although Xu Yifan is not as brave and ruthless as Qin Mufeng, he is also a decisive commander, where will he give foreigners a chance to delay? Since you don't surrender, then you will surrender!
Now the fleets of the two sides are only seven or eight miles apart, for the Western fleet, the attack is too difficult, but for the rifled artillery, it is not impossible, Xu Yifan gave an order, the battleship rushed forward, and the artillery has begun to fire in full force!
Beat! Beat them to surrender!
Thousands of shells came towards the Western coalition forces, and almost at the same time, the four artillery battalions on the shore were thrown into the shelling at the same time, and the same hundreds of shells smashed down on the head and face!
