Fight to the death?

George imagined things too simple!

There were more than 200 ships of the Ming fleet, all of which were concentrated in the Batavia harbor, densely packed, not to mention the duel, this momentum alone had already frightened the Dutch artillery on the battery.

There is no way, there is no confidence, the ammunition depot is gone, the artillery reserve of the battery is only a little more than 10,000 shells, after this shell, there is no use, more than 10,000 shells are evenly spread on each artillery, but only less than 100 rounds, the real war begins, this ammunition can not be supported for even two days.

"Check the bolt, give the order, mobilize our artillery, launch an artillery bombardment towards the port of Batavia, test the firepower of the battery first, Yang Geng, lead a fleet, launch an attack on the Dutch fleet in the north, completely destroy it for me, and end their last resort to escape!"

Zhu Jie shouted in a deep voice.

Qin Mufeng said: "Your Majesty, if you want me to say, directly eliminate the Tianxiong Army, under the cover of artillery fire, forcibly land, as long as you board the beach and take the fort, it will be effortless!" ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "Mu Feng, don't worry, the Dutch on this Java island have gathered more than 100,000 troops, enough to fight a happy battle, forced landing?" I can't take the lives of the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army to go to the mines, according to Marquez, the ammunition depot of the fort exploded, and the shells in the hands of the fort are definitely not enough for three days, so launch an artillery bombardment for me! I'm going to destroy the fort first, and then the army will go straight in and take the whole of Java! ”

As soon as Zhu Jie gave the order, the First Fleet and the Second Fleet were all thrown into the shelling, and they went all out as soon as they came up!

One shell after another crossed the sky with a whistling sound, accurately smashed on the fort, and immediately exploded, igniting clusters of flames on the fort, and gunpowder smoke was everywhere!

Nearly 2,000 artillery pieces covered the attack at the same time, which was almost the largest military attack in the world, even in the Western Ocean, it is rare to see so many artillery pieces put into battle at the same time, and the shells that covered the sky and the sun alone scared the Dutch!

My God, how powerful is this Ming Empire? What kind of opponent are we going to fight against......

The Dutch soldiers trembled in their legs, and the cats dodged behind the forts from the shells, not even daring to show their heads, for fear of being hit by the flying rubble.

"Are you all fucking stupid? Fight back, fight back! Be sure to withstand the attack of the Ming army! Can't let their land landing! ”

George is not stupid, he must withstand the powerful offensive of the Ming army fleet now, otherwise, once the Tianxiong army is allowed to land, it will really be at the end of the road.

One by one, the Dutch artillery began to return fire in a panic, constantly carrying shells and loading them into the redcoat guns.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The geographical situation in Batavia is much worse than that of Manila, after all, the two peninsulas of Manila Bay sandwich Manila Bay in it, and any fleet that wants to pass through the Manila Strait is a road in Huashan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; It is precisely because of this that the Dutch deployed a strong defensive offensive in Batavia, with one battery after another, and although the number of artillery was not much more than that of Manila Bay, the power of the shore defense artillery was obviously superior to that of the Spaniards.

All the shore defense artillery was thrown into the counterattack, and one shell after another fell into the sea, setting off huge waves, and as soon as they came up, the two sides launched a fierce battle!

However, the number of artillery of the Ming army was too much, and the artillery superiority brought by the huge fleet was too obvious, two thousand artillery pieces were not in the same order of magnitude at all compared to one hundred and twenty guns, if it were not for the condescending advantage of the Dutch with the help of the battery, I was afraid that in a moment, the Dutch coastal defense artillery would be destroyed!

Even so, the battery was under tremendous pressure, and in just two hours, the Ming army fired more than 30,000 shells at the battery, washing twenty batteries in blood, and the miserable howls of the Dutch were everywhere!

George was shocked and angry, as soon as he came up, he was suppressed by others, once the ammunition of the battery could not keep up, it would not take half a day for the battery to be lost, this is fatal!

Of course, it was not only George who was angry, but also Reynolds, who had just boarded the battleship, and Reynolds had just boarded the battleship when he ushered in the attack of Yang Geng's fleet!

Seeing Yang Geng's fleet, Reynolds's nose was already crooked, and he almost didn't turn his back on it.

Spanish warships, all Spanish warships!

What the? Could it be that Marquez has already surrendered to the Ming Empire? Damn, all the ammunition on their ships was given to them by the Dutch!

When the Spanish fleet fled from Manila Bay, almost all the ammunition in the inventory was sunk by the Ming army, and the Dutch worked hard to equip the Spaniards with suitable ammunition, and now all of them are cheaper than the Ming Empire!

"Damn Marquez, you're going to kill me!"

Reynolds wanted to cry without tears, he only left the Western Fleet for half a day, and the entire Western Fleet was destroyed, the Dutch fleet was almost completely annihilated, and the Spanish fleet was not completely destroyed, but it was better to be wiped out, at least it would not be used by the Ming fleet to attack him......

Yang Geng took two Tian-class battleships, and the rest of the battleships were all captured from the Spaniards, turned around and began to pack up Reynolds, and the guns on the battleship launched an attack on Reynolds's fleet mercilessly.

Now Reynolds doesn't have a decent warship in his hands, all of them are auxiliary ships, where is Yang Geng's opponent?

Reynolds was completely suppressed by Yang Geng's fleet in the depths of the bay, unable to move, and could only passively respond to the battle!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

As soon as he came up, Yang Geng shot with all his might, all the artillery was activated, and wave after wave of cannonballs continued to fall down on Reynolds's battleship, and the narrow inland sea space made it very difficult for Reynolds to dodge, and one shell after another smashed on Reynolds's battleship, smashing Reynolds's battleship out of a big hole.

The Spanish fleet was not equipped with several guns, but even solid shells were not something that small warships could handle, not to mention that there were rockets to use, which were flexible and maneuverable!

In less than half an hour, Reynolds's more than 30 small warships, only a few were beaten, Reynolds was completely panicked, did not dare to fight again, looked at the gap of the Ming fleet, escaped from the encirclement, and fled to the northwest direction, first save his life, as for George, no wonder Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu let you run, you don't run, then don't blame me for not being angry!
