Why this group of indigenous monkeys have such a strong firepower, this is absolutely unprecedented, if these indigenous monkeys were so strong, they would not occupy the entire East Indies (now Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea), they have long been driven away by these indigenous monkeys, this kind of firepower, even if it is placed on the European side, is definitely not bad.

"Are those damn Brits? Or a Frenchman!? This was Baron Edier's first thought.

This period of the Netherlands is also a maritime power, from the late 16th century, with the rapid rise of the Dutch naval power, the Netherlands opened up a large number of overseas colonies, West Africa, Southeast Asia and then North and South America, there are Dutch colonies, at the same time, the Netherlands also established a global trade market, and accompanied by cultural exports, this period is known as the golden age of the Dutch sea. Unfortunately, after entering the second half of the 17th century, after the defeat of the Dutch war against Britain and the war with France, the Dutch overseas colonies shrank a lot, when the North American colony of New Amsterdam (now New York) was occupied by the British, the Dutch focused on Asia, after being driven back from Taiwan by Zheng Chenggong, the Dutch colonies were only left in the East Indies and Dutch Guiana in South America and Aruba in the Caribbean Sea, the latter two were small in size and not rich in products, so the Dutch colonial center was placed in the East Indies.

Baron Ideal did not think that these natives, who should have been vulnerable in front of him, had the strength to build such firepower, so he put his first suspicion on the sworn enemies of the Netherlands, England and France, and he couldn't help but wonder if these natives were the agents of the British and French, whose purpose was to spy on their last Dutch colony.

Feeling that he had guessed the truth, Baron Edier was furious, he was going to give these damned natives a hard blow, and let their masters behind them see that this was not the place where they could stretch their claws casually.

"Fight back! Give me a hard blow! I want these indigenous monkeys to be reduced to pieces! ”

Baron Edier's flagship is the largest battleship in the whole of Indonesia, with two decks and more than 70 guns of all kinds, although this ship can only barely rank the upper three ranks among the European sail battleships, but in Southeast Asia and even the whole of Asia, it is definitely a ruthless role, and it is the deterrent force of the Netherlands here.

With the order of Baron Edier, the entire battleship from front to back, one side of the ship spit out flames in turn, and clouds of gunpowder smoke were raised, and suddenly, the gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire ship, and on the sea, a series of roars were heard.

Even if it was just the firepower on one side, the number of guns reached more than thirty, especially since none of these guns was less than twelve pounds, so the firepower was quite strong, and in an instant, a small junk ship on Baron Edier's side was blown to pieces.

However, this did not deter these pirates, but provoked their ferocity, and the pirates, who were not inferior to Baron Edier's heavy artillery, immediately launched a counterattack, and for a while, several cruisers of the Dutch fleet suffered heavy losses in an instant.

Not to mention Baron Edile, who was going crazy there, in the Howling Pirates on the other side, it was a different scene.

Howling Wind, the captain of the Howling Wind Pirate Regiment, was standing on his flagship "Empress" with a comfortable face, calmly directing the battle, while beside him, a man whose whole body was shrouded in black robes was standing quietly.

Occasionally, stray arrows and cannonballs flew towards them, but when they were about five yards away, they were reoriented by an invisible force and passed by them, not hurting them in the slightest.

While directing the standard-bearer to constantly issue orders, Xiao Feng glanced at the man beside him from time to time with awe-struck eyes.

Since being completely subdued by Arnold, Howling Wind has seen the magic that he never dared to think of before, not to mention the power that is enough to run rampant on the sea and destroy the world, even the necklace he now wears around his neck, which has made Howling Wind extremely crazy.

According to Arnold's words, it is a magic necklace with a protective magic solidified inside, which can release an armor to protect Howling Wind's body the moment it encounters damage. And Howling Wind has also tested that the strength of this magic can actually resist the close-range bombardment of a twenty-four-pounder cannon, what kind of protective magic is this, this simply gave him a life.

That's not all, Arnold also promised like Howling Wind that in the future, as his merits increase, he will get more good things, even if he is seriously injured, he will recover immediately, better and more powerful magic items, even if it is immortal, it is not without a chance.

That's immortality, many emperors pursue things that they can't pursue in their lifetimes, and now they are so easy to get in front of his howling wind, and there is only one premise for all this, that is, there is enough merit.

From that moment on, Xiaofeng put away all his careful thoughts, worried about Li Lu, and became dead set on Arnold.

Just like this time, even in the face of the supposedly invincible Dutch fleet in this sea, he Howling Wind dared to fight, if nothing else, because there was a god (Howling Wind's angle) standing behind him.

The scuffle at sea continued, but in the midst of the scuffle, a sea eagle that should not have appeared landed on the mountain of the howling wind.

The falcon rested on the shoulder of the black-robed man.

"Howling Wind, Lord Arnold is ready to execute as planned."

Baron Edier stood on the deck, constantly giving orders, and with the words of flags, the balance of war gradually moved towards the side of the Dutch fleet.

The combat effectiveness of a battleship, displacement is a big measure, because no matter how powerful the firepower of a battleship, its displacement is low, and it is useless, because the displacement will seriously limit your bomb load and seaworthiness.

Today's artillery, any one of them costs thousands of pounds, those 32-pound, 42-pound heavy guns are thousands of pounds, a shell costs dozens of pounds, the displacement is small, it means that your artillery has a small number of guns, low bomb load, and it can't support a big battle at all, just a few shots will run out of ammunition, and in the same way, if the displacement is low, the swing of the hull will be very large, which will seriously affect the hit rate of the artillery.

This is only a single combat aspect, how many people are left, how many living materials are carried, how far they can sail on the sea, and the displacement is a measure, low, it means that you have fewer personnel, and you carry fewer living materials, and you can't last much at all.

Although the Howling Pirates and the Dutch fleet are almost the same in terms of the number of guns and the firepower of the guns, one side is only composed of many small junk ships, and the largest tonnage is only the standard of a fifth-class cruiser (at this time, the battleships are divided into six classes, the first class is the largest, and the sixth class is the lowest), and some are not even battleships, but what about the Dutch fleet? Not to mention Baron Edier's third-class battleships, even fourth-class battleships also have three.

The gap in the displacement of the two sides caused the gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, which was not obvious at the beginning, but with the extension of time, this gap became more and more manifest.

Soon, the Howling Pirates fell to the downside.

"Can't let them escape! Give me chase! I'm going to wipe them out completely! ”

Seeing the warships of the Howling Wind Pirates turn their bows and gradually leave the battlefield, Baron Edier's first thought in his heart is to chase, immediately chase immediately!

As long as this group of pirates is eliminated, Singapore will completely open the door to him, and when the time comes, he will be able to conquer the lost territory, and the huge war function will make him rise to the top, and even directly replace the incompetent governor, especially this time when the great conspiracy of Britain and France is discovered, and when the time comes, he may become the commander of a whole kingdom fleet.

Just when Ideal had already begun to fantasize about his brilliant future, on one side of the sky, a black hole suddenly struck and instantly became larger.

That's a cannonball!

Baron Ideal was surprised by a loud roar, and under his gaze, his two frigates were smashed to pieces in an instant.

"Enemy attack!"

Baron Ideal was momentarily stunned, but his good military qualities immediately made him recover, and he immediately took out his binoculars and looked in the direction where the shells were flying.

In the distance, a huge fleet came into view of Baron Edier, among which the first battleship, the huge hull, and the towering demeanor impressed Baron Ideal deeply.

"The King of the Seas!" Baron Ideal gritted his teeth and said a name.

Baron Ideal participated in the Anglo-Dutch War, and at that time, the British capital ship of the "King of the Seas" gave Baron Ideal a deep impression, and the powerful firepower and the world's first tonnage brought great trauma to the Dutch Navy.

The "King of the Seas" has become a nightmare for the Dutch Navy, how could Baron Ideal forget the figure of this devil.

"Sure enough, it's a damn British!"

The "Sea King" has become synonymous with the British Navy, and the first time he saw this battleship, Baron Ideal was sure that Britain was behind all this.

Unfortunately, Baron Ideal did not know that this fleet was not British, but Lee's, and it was the Singapore fleet led by Arnold.

Baron Edier's face was full of resentment, both hatred for Britain and annoyance at seeing the military industry in his hands but losing it immediately, his fists were loose and clenched, clenched and loosened, and finally, Baron Ideal sighed, "Retreat!" ”

This kind of fleet equipped with first-class battleships was not something they could compete with, so Baron Ideal could only reluctantly choose to retreat.

It's a pity that now it's up to Baron Ideal to decide whether to fight or not, and the moment the Singapore fleet appeared, the Howling Wind Pirate Regiment, which had just fled in front, turned the bow of the ship again and scattered, blocking Baron Edier's way.

With hungry wolves and tigers in front of them, Baron Edier's Dutch fleet has been surrounded by the Howling Pirates and the Singapore fleet.

The two fleets were lined up in battle columns, forming a large ring that encompassed the entire Dutch fleet.

The gun doors on the side of the ship were opened, and the guns of one door were pushed out of the gun doors, revealing black holes and holes, all of which pointed to the Dutch fleet in the center.

Baron Ideal was very remorseful in his heart, this was really a trap, if he knew from the beginning that there was such a huge fleet hidden here, he would definitely turn the bow of the ship and flee as soon as possible, although the firepower was not as good as those first-class battleships, but when it was his turn to speed, his flagship could definitely throw them out a few streets, but unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now, the enemy had already completed the encirclement of him.

"Put up a white flag for me."

This was Baron Edier's last sigh. (To be continued.) )
