Several officers of Deng listened to orders from the Admiralty. Although I was confused, I didn't know it. Some of them were clever, and immediately remembered the series of orders given by Admiral Bobby yesterday when the adjutant returned from the ship still sitting on the Portuguese mainland, including digging an offensive on the beach, transporting all the guns on board to the high ground on the island, and the fact that the admiral had ordered the shipwreck to block the sandy bay that was very vulnerable. Fleet converted into defenders? It's just that they can't guess what the Admiralty means by doing this. However, since there was an order from Shangfeng, they were no longer verbose, and they had the experience of the colonel. Everyone went down the mountain and returned to gather their soldiers to carry out the order.

On the sea, the warships sank one after another for a whole day, and finally slowly began to sink into the water, the Portuguese sailors on the shore were all confused, the blue eyes were full of reluctance, and more, there were people who were worried about their future, this Pias Island is far away from Portugal mainland, looking south to Egypt, north to Greece. To the east is Turkey, even if you go west, you have to pass through the Italian peninsula to return home, and if you lose your warship, how can you go back? There are enemies in front of you, do you plan to stay here for the rest of your life?

This mood has led to the morale of many soldiers, and the officers have seen it and have not taken any measures, and the soldiers are confused and confused. I was listless, where was I in the mood to take care of so much, but Admiral Bobby checked the defense of the beach early in the morning of the second day of the wreck, and still felt very dissatisfied, and ordered to continue the construction, and must build a strong fortress in the shortest possible time, the military order is like a mountain, and the same is true in Portugal, the order was conveyed from Bobby's mouth to the captains, and the captains then found the middle and lower officers to carry it out, and finally the junior officers took their soldiers to work.

Seven or eight days later, the defense of Pierce Island finally took shape, a few nautical miles beyond the beach. It is a natural water barrier built by several shipwrecks. On the beach, there are traps and various wooden barriers to prevent the infantry from landing, and after the beach, there are sand barricades piled up with sand and gravel, and countless artillery pieces are set up on the high ground on both sides and rear wings, which are hundreds of guns, and there are plenty of ammunition. It's quite a bit of a one-man affair.

The only thing that worries Bobby is because of the problem of food, this expedition, there are more than a dozen transport and supply ships, and there are several compartments of food piled up on the large battleship, which is enough even for the return trip, but now it is planned to defend the island of Pies. After such a long period of consumption, the food is only for half a month, but Bobby doesn't know when those alliance sailors will come, and he doesn't know when the Dutch and Portuguese fleets will come to the rescue, as a commander, what is naturally going to the worst place, can only take advantage of the fact that the food is barely enough, first store a batch of food, Bobby is indeed an excellent commander, although the area of Pies Island is not large, but there is a lot of woodland, he divided a group of soldiers to hunt in the mountains to barely replenish some food, In the name of the conquerors, he collected grain like a small number of local remnants, and then lined up a group of people to go to the sea to fish. The soldiers' three meals were replaced by two, and in this way, they almost got half a month's ration, and a month's time, Bobby believed that it should be enough.

Waiting", waiting patiently, as a bait, Bobby can only sit and wait, but it may not be rescue, he inspects the surroundings of the island every day, trying to find all the holes in the defense. And let people build towers, ready to be alerted at all times, he knows very well what he is doing, this is a great military adventure. If the coalition fleet does not come out, then the several battleships that have been scuttled will all be lost. This is definitely a huge loss for Portugal. Even if the alliance fleet comes, if the Dutch and Portuguese fleets that come to the rescue cannot arrive at the battlefield on time, not only will the battleships be lost, but all the personnel of the entire fleet on the island will be bled in vain. In the end, the Union fleet was allowed to sail away after the triumph, but he was able to understand the Admiralty's pains in making this military plan.

In the final analysis, God has not given much time to the Dutch Alliance, and the Ming army has appeared in Egypt, so it means that the Ming army's sailors may also follow, once the Ming Navy Division participates in the war and converges with the anti-Dutch alliance fleet, then the Dutch Alliance's advantage in the sea will be completely reversed, the army is not as good as the people, the navy is not as good as the people, and there is still a steady stream of supplies in the far east that can be delivered here at any time, and it is probably only a matter of time before it is destroyed.

That being the case, then the only way for the Dutch alliance to survive was before the arrival of the Great Ming Sailor in Europe. There may be a glimmer of hope for being able to annihilate the Combined Fleet in one fell swoop, and then turn around and deal with the Daming Naval Division, which is in front of the Admiralty. Only in the fastest possible time to wipe out the fleet of the anti-Dutch alliance, but those fleets will forever retreat in the harbor of many batteries on the Italian peninsula, and will not come out to fight with the people at all, and the Dutch and Portuguese fleets have no way to deal with them at all, so the only trick is to lure them, take out a bait, and let the anti-Dutch alliance fleet see the blood and bang their hearts. As long as they are willing to go to sea, then everything is no longer a problem.

And Bobby's fleet is the bait, his ships are not many, the size is only more than forty, but for the anti-Dutch alliance fleet, it is indeed a big temptation, not to mention that this is in the Mediterranean Sea, those damn British and French, Spanish, Italian must have relaxed a lot of vigilance, and more importantly, they must have received the news that Daming was going to Europe, in the face of such great good news. I'm afraid that the original scruples about the Dutch and Portuguese fleets will also be a lot more relaxed, and it is precisely because of this that under the pressure of the situation, the Admiralty made such a big gamble decision, but Bobby in the camp couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this big gamble really worth it? If they succeed, then they still have to face the Ming fleet, but once they fail" Bobby can't imagine this, not only those countries of the Anti-Dutch Alliance who are eager to get war compensation from the Netherlands and other countries, but also the Eastern Empire behind the scenes, what kind of disaster will the Grape Tooth suffer?

"General," the general. A guard hurriedly ran in from outside the account: "Quick"

Captain Brewster of Zhou Yinta is now in the northwest sea, and there is a Pang Jiu "ridicule team, only ten nautical miles away from us"

Bobitten straightened up, and finally came, he took a deep breath: "Which watchtower is it, you lead the way." ”

The Portuguese people built a total of seven watchtowers on the island of Pierces, all built on the top of the undulating ridge, due to the rush of time, the watchtowers were built entirely of logs from the mountain, and then reinforced with bark and wooden nails, so that when Bobby climbed along the ladder to the watchtower, the watchtower creaked and swayed slightly from side to side with Bobby's movements.

There is no end in sight to the sails on the sea level outside the monoculars, and the black-painted hull is like a huge monster, and on the sails, the huge blood-red frame is very eye-catching. And at the very peak of the mast, the intersecting of several long swords of the anti-Dutch alliance means that the swords of the nations are working together to make Bobby confirm the identity of the other party, Bobby put down the binoculars, his expression was slightly in a trance, and then he shouted in spirit: "Prepare for war, meet the enemy!" ”

"Prepare for battle, meet the enemy"

"Prepare for battle, meet the enemy,

"Prepare for the enemy, meet the enemy",

There was chaos on the island, and the soldiers ran frantically towards their posts, some hiding behind the sand barriers, some trotting towards the artillery positions on the high ground, and everyone was very nervous, and this emotion eliminated a lot of their fears.

Bobby then appeared behind the sand barricades of the front-line positions, on which five hundred soldiers were prostrate. Only one head was exposed to look out of the beach, Bobby's arrival obviously boosted a lot of morale, Bobby saw that the time was still early, and immediately ordered the soldiers to eat first and then fight, he knew very well that the next battle would be extremely tragic, and the soldiers could not be hungry, one by one baked rather burnt black bread began to be transported to the battle line, and distributed to the soldiers, many soldiers had no intention of swallowing in this situation, and the officers could only let them hide the bread on their bodies first, if they were hungry, they could take it out at any time to satisfy their hunger.

Two hours later, warships of different sizes finally appeared on the sea level outside the beach, for the sake of a giant warship with a displacement of up to 1,000 tons, the behemoth slowly approached, so that everyone had a sense of oppression, Bobby was glad at this time, fortunately he ordered to scuttle the battleship to block the sea beyond the beach, otherwise let this kind of giant battleship close to the coast, bombarding indiscriminately with artillery, then Pierce Island would not be able to resist for long.

"Cheer up, boys, these damned French and British have fallen into our trap, and our king has sent the holy Portuguese fleet with our allies to this catty. Directions, to hell with these stupid fellows, as long as we can fend them off for a few days, victory is on our side. ”

Now that the prey has been lured out, Bobby doesn't care about any military secrets, and the most important thing now is to boost morale as much as possible and let the soldiers see hope.

Bobby's results had a great effect, and the five hundred Portuguese soldiers on the front line were originally a little frustrated, after all, the whole island had been surrounded by the enemy, and they had lost their warships, and they saw that there was no way to survive, but they heard that reinforcements were coming. And the reason why these enemies appeared turned out to be in the trap of their own side, and they didn't have time to think about it at this time, and finally saw some light.

The coalition fleet gradually slowed down three nautical miles close to the island, and finally stopped, and they had to stop, and a mile further on, there was an obstacle zone caused by the sinking of the Portuguese fleet, if it was a flat-bottomed small ship, it was nothing, but for large warships it was generally pointed, and once it collided with the wreckage of those damaged warships, the wooden battleships were very vulnerable to damage.

The coalition fleet apparently did not expect the Portuguese to sink their ships into the sea as a barrier, neither advancing nor retreating, and the whole battle fell into a deathly silence, and after half an hour, the large ships began to hang down the landing boats, which were full of dense soldiers, and some small ships also came out of the gaps in the huge battleships, since the large ships were useless, then the only way was to use small ships to land.

"Be prepared." Bobby's heart jumped to his throat, after all, the enemy on the opposite side was at least ten times more than the defenders on the island. Although he has made sufficient preparations, he is not very sure whether he will be able to stop this wave of attack Bobby in the end.

Brisk boats quickly passed through the obstacles of the wreck, carrying soldiers towards the beach. The soldiers on the boat are mostly French, after the Ming Dynasty created the Marine Corps, the countries of the Anti-Dutch Alliance naturally followed suit, in this alliance fleet, among them, the sailors and gunners are naturally British, Hispanic is the most, but the French are a land power after all, especially in this period, Louis XIV was in power thirteen years ago, with the support of Cardinal Armand Jean de Plessiserieu and Mazarin's diplomatic achievements, Louis XIV established a baroque kingdom centered on him in France. He went to war, held lavish celebrations at the Palace of Versailles, and financed exhibitions of the arts and sciences to glorify himself. With the help of his ministers such as Jean Baptiste Corbe, he concentrated the entire French bureaucracy around him, thereby strengthening the military, finances, and institutions of the French king, and using all his resources to create a lion on the European land, and Louis XIV's ambition was uncontrollable ever since, and he longed for territory and conquest. Desire everything that can be plundered by violent means and be proud.

At this time, the French army was definitely at its peak, they were called by the king, they had the latest style of the Great Flame Command, they were well-trained and tenacious, and they were by no means comparable to the French army that was about to collapse in World War II.
