"Surrender?"

Christoan gritted his teeth, if he surrendered, his future and destiny would be taken into it, but if he didn't surrender, he would not only be in the future and destiny, but also his small life......

Boom......

Two shells fired, one after the other, and landed on the Princess Claire, blasting the deck into debris and a burst of flames!

"Surrender, surrender, herald, fly the white flag, surrender!"

Christoan was terrified and roared hysterically.

If you surrender, let's save your life first, and then talk about it, don't care about the life and death of England, the Netherlands and other countries, and save the lives of Portugal!

Under the smoke and flames, white flags were hoisted one after another, and all the Portuguese warships stopped firing.

"Huh? Flying a white flag? ”

Zheng Haotian was stunned, he didn't expect that the Portuguese would be so soft-boned, although the Portuguese fleet suffered a lot of casualties, but there were at least twenty or thirty warships, and most of the rest were the main warships, so soon they surrendered?

Zheng Haotian shouted: "Order, the whole army stops shooting, the left flank fleet continues to move forward, complete the outflanking of the Portuguese fleet, the right flank rushes to the southeast, trap them, the main battleship of the Chinese army, follow me to surrender!" ”

The flagship of the First Fleet, accompanied by four Heaven-class warships, slowly moved forward and came to the front of the Princess Claire!

On the Princess Claire, all the Portuguese stood in more than ten rows on the deck, and at the front, the captain Vicente and the chief of staff Nanis accompanied the commander Christoan, who had just completed the bandaging, the morale of the whole army was sluggish, and they drooped their heads one by one, no matter which country's army, if they surrendered, it would definitely be a humiliating thing.

"I, the commander of the expeditionary fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal, Christoan, ask for surrender to the Ming Empire!"

Christoan held his saber in both hands, bowed down and said to Zheng Haotian.

"Hehe, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? Christoan, after the death of the Portuguese who withdrew from Mazu Island, we warned you that if you dare to violate the border, you will be killed! Like, you didn't take our words seriously......"

Zheng Haotian sneered.

Christoan was full of shame and silent, the Ming Empire was really open to the Portuguese kingdom, but confiscated all the property of the Portuguese on Matsu Island, but did not kill on a large scale, this time, Portugal sent troops again, and was defeated by others, so there was no reason to beg for mercy.

"Dugu Yan, pass the order, confiscate all the guns and ammunition of each battleship, all the Portuguese are imprisoned, and the ships that are still on fire, put out the fire with all our might, we have collected all these dozens of warships, and don't destroy the flags on the battleships, this governor is still useful!"

Zheng Haotian gave an order, the officers and men of the First Fleet began to move, all the Portuguese were imprisoned, and twenty-seven warships were brought back to the fortress of Dumai.

"Hahaha, Brother Haotian, you are the first to defeat the Grape Man's fleet in one fell swoop!"

At Dumai Wharf, Xu Yifan and Tan Guilin stood side by side, waiting for Zheng Haotian's return, Xu Yifan laughed.

Zheng Haotian jumped on the dock and arched his hand towards Xu Yifan and said: "The adults are wrong, they are all adults who strategize and command well, but the last general does not dare to take credit!" ”

"How's the battle going?"

Xu Yifan asked.

Zheng Haotian hurriedly replied: "My lord, according to your deployment, the First Fleet suddenly attacked, blocking the Portuguese fleet in the strait, the battle formation spread out, our warships were connected together, not giving the Portuguese room to escape, and then concentrated all the artillery to storm together, completely defeated the Portuguese fleet, captured the commander of the Portuguese fleet Christoan and the chief of staff Nanis, captured more than 6,000 Portuguese, sank 22 Portuguese warships, and captured 27 warships, including 14 capital warships, There are thirteen auxiliary ships, all of which have been captured by us, and most of them are still able to participate in the war! ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Yifan nodded, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Brother Haotian, have you asked?" Where is the main fleet of the Western Coalition heading now? ”

"I've asked them all!"

Zheng Haotian hurriedly replied: "But Your Majesty and your expectations, the Western coalition forces are now heading towards the waters of the Java Isthmus, and they plan to launch an attack on the Luzon Islands through the Java Isthmus. ”

Xu Yifan sneered: "Okay, since that's the case, then the Western Alliance Army is not far from extinction!" Get ready to change your battle plan! ”

Zheng Haotian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, do you have any clever ideas?" ”

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, the entire Portuguese fleet has been defeated by us, and the Western coalition forces have at least fifty less warships; In the first battle of Dumai Fortress, they lost more than a dozen warships, almost all of them have lost sixty or seventy warships, although it is not a big injury, but it is also a broken nerve, and now the Western coalition forces do not know the news of the surrender of the Portuguese, just right, we will give them a deception, mainly with the captured ships of the Portuguese fleet, with some Tian-class warships, ground-class warships, under the banner of the Portuguese fleet, go to the waters of the Java Isthmus, look for the Western fleet, surprise, and launch an attack on the Western fleet, hehe, even if the Western Fleet is not completely annihilated, it will be greatly damaged by our vitality! After this battle, the Western Fleet will no longer be able to threaten the strength of our three major fleets! ”

"Haha, my lord, the two of us thought of going together, all the flags on the grape battleship were kept by me, replaced by our people, fifty large and small battleships, once suddenly attacked, with the power of our flowering cannons, we only need to attack in several waves in a row, and the warships of the Western Alliance will have to be killed by us! What a super fleet of 500 warships can only be destroyed in the South Seas! ”

Zheng Haotian laughed.

Xu Yifan shook his head and replied, "Why do you want to change people?" On each battleship, keep at least twenty Portuguese sailors, let the Portuguese generals accompany them, this time, we only need to win and not lose, the first fleet follows the Portuguese fleet, once the Portuguese fleet completes the attack, then the first fleet will cover the retreat of the Portuguese fleet, and quickly retreat in the direction of Malacca, I will mobilize the first fleet and the second fleet all west out of the Strait of Malacca, we will be in the Indian Ocean, and the Western coalition forces have a decisive battle! ”
