The Dutch love to scuffle.

He is very good at broadside battles and gang jumps.

Of course, the so-called "like" is in comparative terms.

Against the British, the Dutch were very fond of hand-to-hand combat.

Against the ships of the East, the Dutch were very fond of shelling.

This has to do with the Netherlands itself.

The Netherlands is a low-lying country, limited by the depth of the waterways in the harbor waterways, and the ships built are not large.

The slightly larger warships were fighting against the Spaniards and the British in their hometowns.

Their style of fighting with the British was to approach each other while firing their guns, and when it was time to take overboard, soldiers and sailors gathered on deck, under the cover of arquebuses and grenades, and went over with cold weapons to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing crew.

In the east, this is not the case, where a battle line is formed first to engage in an artillery battle with the opposing side. Few ships in the East could compete with them at sea, so there was no need for broadside.

Now, Brouwer had to come up with a way to deal with the British, against Yang Chengying.

The four sail battleships that came had many guns, large ships, and a long range.

However, when he gave the order to fight, something happened.

Bang!

Whoa......

The fireships that were supposed to hit Yang Chengying's fleet "inexplicably" hit the Dutch fleet.

Sailors and sailors jumped into the sea like dumplings to escape the fire on board.

Browamon was amazed, and he suddenly realized something.

Li Kuiqi was also blindsided, and scolded in his heart, damn it, there are people competing for dogs these days.

The person he scolded was naturally Zhong Bin.

He was about to attack the Dutch, but he didn't want to be preempted by Zhong Bin.

Then, discovering that the pirates who had been fooled and loyal to Liu Xiang took up arms one after another and launched an attack on their brothers.

Discovering the enemy's situation, the four Liaodong battleships quickly adjusted their sails and lined up on the sea.

A cast-iron cannon aimed at the Dutch.

In the cabin, the Liaodong artillery was busy.

They pushed wooden boxes with round iron bullets next to the cannons, and unlike before, there was no longer a need for careful torches.

Instead, he directly loaded the barrel with black powder and iron bullets, tamped it with a tamper, and then pushed it out.

An artilleryman pulls a string with cotton earplugs on his head, and at the other end of the rope is a cannon firing device.

The rest of the soldiers stepped back, covering their ears except for earplugs.

The flag waved, and the cannons rang out in unison.

The huge recoil force took the cannon back a few steps, pulling the thick iron chain that held the cannon in place, crunching.

The artillerymen didn't care about anything else, they just waited for the guns to stop, immediately stepped forward, loaded their ammunition, and waited for the order to fire.

Shells streaked in the air in a parabola, smashing on the sea or on ships.

The Dutch, who rushed to the front, bore the brunt of the cannon.

The jets of water smashed by the iron bullets and the sawdust raised by the ship after being hit flew in all directions.

The sailors took refuge.

"Leave the pirates behind you. Quick, paste it and hit it! ”

Brower roared, desperately trying to convey his battle orders.

Sailors climbed the mast and waved signal flags. Then, he was hit by a stray bullet and fell down.

"I'll go!"

Dropping two, Tasman decided to go on it himself.

He had a flare flag in his mouth and dodged bullets as he crawled.

Are Oriental guns magical? So far, and so accurate!

At the top, he finally sent the signal out.

In fact, the Dutch have already consciously posted it.

They fired their guns and calculated the distance.

When I thought that I could just get closer, I would win more than less.

Killer moves!

The Dutch took the lead and fought fiercely with the Liaodong Navy, which had an advantage in artillery.

Later, the pirates attacked each other.

The whole sea has become a mess.

At this time, the "pot" of porridge came.

Seventy-five guns and fourth-class sail battleships appeared on the vast sea.

They skillfully used the wind to surround the Dutch and pirates from the periphery.

The giant ship at the head skillfully opened fire with the guns on the enemy's side, sailing as it fired.

Iron bullets rained down on the Dutch and pirates, and poured sugar into porridge.

Rough!

Li Kuiqi scolded, this is burying us in it.

"Boss, get out of here!"

Yang Qi hurriedly reminded, "The king asked us to run away after setting the fire, why don't you listen!" ”

"Damn, I didn't know our cannon was so powerful."

Li Kuiqi wanted to cry without tears, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill a few more pirates, and luckily cut down a few red-haired ghosts and made a great achievement.

Unexpectedly, he was going to be made dumplings.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Li Kuiqi cheered up and quickly commanded his ships to evacuate from the battle.

Zhong Bin saw that Li Kuiqi was retreating, and immediately glanced at Ma Er.

Ma Er put down the small boat hanging by the side of the boat, and together with Zhong Bin, he took advantage of the chaos to leave the big boat and leave this place.

When their subordinates arrived, they found that the boss had run away, and it was too late.

Zhong Bin and Ma Er walked a long way.

The Dutch in front also found out about the pirate running away, but they couldn't turn back, so they had to stick to it.

It is hoped that by relying on the broadside battle and the gang jumping battle, the decline will be reversed from the local side.

However, the other party did not give them this opportunity.

Just as they were estimating the distance, thinking that they would be able to shoot with their arquebuses any closer, a group of sailors with bird's guns appeared on the opposite deck.

It looks like a "bird gun", but it's actually a firing gun.

The Dutch thought that the distance was a problem and did not have to worry about it, and continued to stick forward.

The firing pistols fired at the same time.

Whoosh ...... A cone-shaped bullet accompanied by smoke hit their ship.

Spacious splints that bring a lot of position.

Rows of firing guns fired, firing conical shells denser than showers.

The shower hit the body just painfully, and the cone bullet was fatal.

The Dutch were shot one after another, and many of them lay on the deck, trying to hide from the bullets by taking cover.

However, the ships of the Liaodong Navy themselves were taller than theirs, which led to the fact that the shooting was condescending.

The Dutch fleet, which was supposed to be encircled, was counter-encircled again. The front is not broken, and the side is fiercely attacked.

The worse thing was still behind, and when the ship was about to approach, the soldiers on the deck of the Liaodong Navy immediately retreated.

Push on a device that throws oil and canisters, and use the Divine Fire Raven and the spray canister to directly ignite the sails of the opponent's ship.

Brouwer, who was staying in the command position, saw this scene and finally made up his mind:

"Withdraw! Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's battleship encirclement was not yet complete, quickly evacuated here. ”

Unlike on land, sail battleships have a relatively large gap in between, for each other's safety.

The sailors skillfully maneuvered the sails, drawing a crescent moon on the surface of the sea with the help of the wind, and turned to the south, ready to flee.

Staying on the deck of one of the seventy-five sail battleships sailing, Yang Cheng observed with binoculars and ordered:

"All ships fire on enemy ships, not a single pirate or Dutchman!"

"Li Kuiqi seems to be still in the encirclement."

Zheng Zhilong, who was staying at the command post, also looked into the distance with a fixed large telescope.

"I told him to leave. He didn't listen, and he couldn't complain about me. ”

Yang Chengying smiled coldly and said in his heart, I also know that he won't listen.
