The Dutch were in a hurry to extinguish the fire, and some of the gunners withdrew from the side of the ship, dropped the guns in their hands, and went to fetch water and sand from wooden barrels, and sailed on the sea, and the cabin had to prepare plenty of drinking water, so the Dutch did not worry about a little fire, as long as it was not too exaggerated, they should be able to cope with it.

Although the people of this era did not understand that the flame needed air to burn, and as long as the air was blocked, they knew that the fire could be extinguished by covering it with sand.

The soldiers were busy extinguishing the fire, and the fire suppression of the Dutch became lighter, and the larger boats of the Great Meng Country rowed over, and the sky was full of arrogant rockets, and under the cover of rockets, row after row of fire ships rushed forward with pigs.

Speaking of the first thing that does not kill at sea, it is a pirate, and the second thing that does not kill is pirates!

In times of war, pirates will also transform into fierce monsters who are not afraid of death. Iyun watched as the pirates rowed desperately forward, and the Dutch on board kept pouring bullets down, and from time to time some people were shot and fell, but many more still rushed forward desperately.

He couldn't help sweating in his heart, and asked Chen Yuanyuan next to him, "You say...... How much money did Zheng Zhilong give? These pirates are actually desperate to this point. ”

"Hey, you're asking the right person, I've already inquired about this. Chen Yuanyuan said in a low voice: "Regardless of success or failure, the participants will be given two taels of silver first, and if they fight a game, the winner will not be decided." There is a second game to be played, and there are two taels of silver. If one of the Dutch's ships were burned, the sailors who rowed the ship would divide two thousand taels of silver. It must take several fireships to burn a ship, so there are at least a dozen people who share this silver, which is equivalent to more than a hundred taels per person. In addition, if you get the head of a Dutch soldier, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. ”

"I'm Khan, it's really a good reward!" Yi Yun sighed.

"Well, this guy is very rich!" Chen Yuanyuan said in a low voice: "Zheng Zhilong controls all the pirates in the southeast sea of the Great Meng Country. Moreover, there are many trade routes in Fuso and Southeast Asia, and he has a lot of wealth...... Gee...... I really want to go to his house and steal some out. ”

"You...... You money-gotten!"

"Is there any way to cheat him out of his money?" Chen Yuanyuan spread his hands and said: "I kind of want to kidnap his son and ask him for ransom, but I don't want much, just 50 million taels, he should give it." ”

"Kidnapping his son?" Yi Yun snorted and almost squirted out, Zheng Zhilong's son is Zheng Chenggong, that person should be a hero in theory. It's better not to kidnap. will become an enemy of the people.

The two laughed a few words, the situation on the battlefield had changed dramatically, and a large number of fireships had rushed into the round. Several Dutch galleons were burned, but fortunately the Dutch on them kept splashing water and sand to finally bring the fire down.

But the Dutch were also frightened. Putmans did not dare to let his fleet rush into the sea of small ships, and was forced to take a detour, trying to avoid the encirclement of the small ships, so that he could no longer use his speed advantage to seize the crucial upper hand.

These small boats were under the command of Zheng Zhifeng. Very skillful to spin around, as long as the Dutchman doesn't take the upper hand. They are not in a hurry to come up and fight, after all, the fight is to die, although the pirate is brave, but not stupid, it is better not to die when you can not die.

Putmans really wanted to cry without tears, and the upper hand he wanted to grab was actually snatched by a large number of fireboats from the island, and this made him feel embarrassed? In fact, there were only a few hundred sailors in the middle who had perch skin and water to rely on, which means that there were only a hundred of them that could really come up and set fires, but Putmans didn't know it...... This is at least thousands, and it scares him so much that he is really. ...,

In fact, Westerners also use fireship tactics, which are not advanced for them, but ...... The fireship tactics of Western European countries are just a few fireboats, and there are a few sailors who have the belief that they will die, but the way of fighting like Da Mengguo, which relies on perch skin and water, and hundreds of fireboats when it comes, is really a bit unaffordable.

If he knew the Internet language of later generations, he would definitely shout to the sky: I can't afford to hurt it! So many fireships are unscientific!

"Left full rudder!"

"Your Excellency...... Not on the left, there's a fireboat!"

"That'...... Right full rudder!"

"Your Excellency...... Cough...... Not on the right...... The main battle line of the pirates is waiting there...... Look, they're killing ......"

"Shell me!" Putmans jumped.

The Dutchman's brain was numb, and he didn't dare to rush into the ocean of the boat, so he had to turn around and deal with Zheng Zhilong's main force.

The battle lines of the two sides exchanged fire again, this time the Dutch did not take the enemy lightly, and planned to concentrate on the enemy, but they were a little demoralized by the wave of fireship tactics just now, and the two armies fought, once the morale went down, it would be troublesome to come up. The Dutch were weak in a round of artillery bombardment, but on the pirates' side, they were all refreshed, and the cannons were roaring proudly.

Especially Yi Yun, this battle is really different from last time, last time he watched the Beiyang Navy Division being by the Dutch, he held his breath and sighed at his pig-like teammates, but this time his teammates were powerful, and it felt different when he brushed up the copy.

"On top of the tank, the healing milk is good, and the output must be powerful!" Yi Yun stood on the bow of the boat and shouted a word that no one could understand, but he felt refreshed and had a feeling of returning to the game. Infected by his inexplicable emotions, the female artillerymen on the flying Henan Ren also fought extremely hard.

"Girls, fight hard, knock the Dutch over, brother will buy you love crazy five!" Yi Yun smirked.

"Lord Wang, what is the Love Crazy Five?"

"Ahem...... It's an English way to call an apple!"

"Lord Wang, people don't want apples!

"Cut! a group of dirt buns, don't want to be crazy, what rouge gouache you want, no taste!"

"Then we have to love the crazy five!

"This ...... It seems that this world can't buy it, and if you buy it, there is no mobile phone signal. "Great Khan of Iwan.

"Cut! I can't buy it and say that the prince is bullying people, so we still have to make rouge gouache. ”

"Cheng, no problem, all of them!"

Yi Yun learned from Zheng Zhilong, and promised a major reward to the female artillerymen, for women, it is their nature to love beauty, whether she is an artillery soldier or an archer or even an ordinary person, women are creatures, for the sake of beauty, they can throw their heads, spill blood, and drink arsenic...... There is a lyric that sings well: For the sake of beauty in this life, I will not regret death.

Since there was rouge gouache as a prize, how could the female artillerymen not work hard? The two battleships, the Dutchman and the Huberian, who were flying, suddenly became as excited as if they had been beaten with blood, and the loading and firing speed of the cannons was noticeably half as fast as usual. There was a boom and boom, and the Dutch, who crossed their battle lines, were suddenly bombarded.

Not long after, the first shipwreck appeared, it was a battleship on the side of the Great Meng Kingdom, Li Kuiqi's flagship in the Eighteen Zhis of the Storm and Clouds was finally overwhelmed by too many cannons and began to sink, and the surrounding boats hurriedly stabbed up and picked up Li Kuiqi and his men on the ship.

The Dutch were relieved, and before they could laugh, two Dutch galleons began to sink at the same time...... It turned out that their galleons could not withstand such a high-intensity artillery battle. Tragically, when their ship sank, there would be no small boat to save them, and the sailors could only cry on the slowly sinking ship, hoping that Putmans would come and save them. ...,

But the people of Da Meng are not stupid, they will not give them a chance to rescue their companions, countless cannons and bows gathered firepower, and beat the Dutch galleons that were no longer able to drive and were still slowly sinking, and soon, these two ships sank to the bottom of the sea with hundreds of Dutchmen.

At the same time, the pirate fleet began to shrink, wanting to surround the Dutch, at first the pirate fleet was not encircled, pretending to fight an artillery battle with the Dutch, but as soon as the fireship came out, the mobility of the Dutch had been limited, and there was no need to worry about them using maneuver to disrupt the formation of the Great Meng Kingdom, Zheng Zhilong immediately changed his tactics and began to close the net on a large scale.

Looking at the pirate ships coming from all directions, Putmans only felt that his voice was smoking, and his forehead was sweating, this was not a joke, the artillery battle did not necessarily win the other party, the fireship tactics made him helpless, and there were so many chaotic pirate ships surrounding, once a broadside battle was formed, he knew that it must be the end of death without a place to bury.

"Withdraw!" Putmans shouted, "Give up the Penghu Islands and go back to Ryukyu to regroup." ”

"Your Excellency...... There are still five hundred of our soldiers in Magong Fort......" said a junior officer.

"Don't care about them, in such a fleet battle, do we have time to pick them up from shore?" Putmans also said urgently: "Let them be captured, and then rescue them by diplomatic negotiations." ”

"This ......"

"Break through!" Putmans was furious.

"Your Excellency, it's not easy to break through...... It's all boats, so many boats. The junior officers were all crying.

"At this time, don't think about retreating, try to escape, if you can escape, how many ships can escape!" Putmans waved his commanding flag.

Putmans was right, at this point, don't think about retreating, the Dutch began to flee towards the east, Yi Yun and Zheng Zhilong's main battle line was in the west, so there were no powerful warships in the east to stop them, only a small fireboat, and the Dutch couldn't care about dodging the fireboats anymore, so they plunged into the sea of small boats.
