Chapter 16, the grass on the wall, each has its own plan.

"They're so fast!"

Kreuz was amazed.

It's fast, of course, it's fast.

Schooners were the main type of yachts in later regattas, and the shape of such boats and sailboats was designed for speed.

"How's it fast? Can they still hit our big ship with such a small boat? Sterkelen pouted disdainfully.

"The faster they rush, the faster they die!"

.......

"This is the Zhu family's ship?"

Luo Fangbo frowned.

"This is too small, how can it deal with the big ship of the Dutch!"

Luo Fangmei, who was next to him, held a telescope and looked towards the Zhu Daohua ship with the sun and moon flag, and only a faint figure could be seen in the telescope, but she could clearly see the tall man in a bright yellow brocade robe.

Placket, wide sleeves, right side.

Even more conspicuous.

It's different from the braids that are basically all money rat tails on the Nanyang side.

That Lord Ming tied his hair and crowned jade, which was by no means comparable to his ugly braids.

Han people are well-dressed....

It's better than a tartar.

Luo Fangmei thought.

After seeing King Ming from afar.

Luo Fangmei began to worry about this Lord Ming.

"Big brother, Brother Ming Wang is extraordinary, he is by no means stupid, since he dares to use a small boat to fight a big boat, he must have his confidence!"

"At least... King Ming's ship, the speed is really fast! ”

When Luo Fangbo heard this, his brows tightened.

In the cabin of each ship, two flags are placed.

One is the Dutch tricolor.

One is the Great Bright Sun and Moon Flag.

What flag to hang on the mast.

Then it depends on how the battle turns out ....

Luo Fangbo suppressed the idea of hanging the Dutch flag.

Maybe Luo Fangmei is right.

This Lord Ming.

Maybe there's really something to do with it?

.......

"Quick! Fast!! Hang the Dutch flag!! ”

Luo Fangbo was still hesitating.

In the distance, several Liu family boats have already raised the Dutch tricolor flag.

"Daddy, that surnamed Zhu doesn't know how to fight naval battles at all! The small boat rushes the big boat, which is not fast enough to die? ”

Liu Guangliang put his braid on his head, grabbed the rope and hung it on the mast, took out his binoculars and observed for a while, then lowered his head and shouted at Liu Qianxing on the deck.

While Liu Qianxing was excited, he was also quite regretful.

If Zhu Daohua died at the hands of the Dutch.

I don't know if I can buy his body back and dedicate it to the court?

"Quick! Follow behind the Dutchman's boat, and when the Zhu family's boat comes, give me a hard beating!! ”

Now that the situation is so obvious.

Liu Qianxing also had a showdown and stopped pretending.

........

"The Zhu family boat is finished!"

Zheng Yi grinned.

"Boss, things may not be so simple....."

Zheng Yi's sister-in-law was a little puzzled in her tone.

"There is no possibility of a turnaround, the Dutch have the upper hand, seize the T position, wait for thousands of cannons to fire a salvo, it's too late to say anything, how many cannons can the Zhu family's boat carry? Less than two hundred guns were killed, and if it was only a salvo on one side, one salvo would be a hundred cannons, which was not enough for the number of guns of three ships..."

A thousand cannons VS a hundred cannons.

Who has the advantage,

Fools know.

And now the battlefield position of the Ming ship is too unfavorable.

A small boat fights a big ship, and if it can occupy a favorable position, it will fight if it can pass, and run away if it can't be beaten.

There's still a chance.

Right now....

It seems that there is no chance to even run.

"Herald! Go around to the back of the Zhu family's boat! ”

"Boss, you're going to..."

Zheng Yi grinned: "I heard that this surnamed Zhu brought back a lot of good things from Europe... Taking advantage of the fact that the Zhu family and the Dutch are entangled here, if you don't rob his mother, I'm sorry for Mazu! ”

"Hurry! Go Batam! Rob his lair surnamed Zhu!! ”

With Zheng Yi's order issued.

The pirates entrenched in the mouth of the Pearl River suddenly became enthusiastic one by one.

They shouted and shouted, and drove the ship towards the rear of the Ming fleet.

.......

"King, the ships of the Red Flag Gang want to circle behind us!"

Zhu Daohua also noticed the move of the Red Flag Gang Zheng Yi.

He sneered: "Don't worry about it for now, wait until the Dutch are defeated and then take care of them!" ”

At the speed of these fast schooners under his command.

The speed of the traditional Chinese schooners of the Red Flag Gang is impossible to escape.

"Herald! Steering to a distance of four hundred meters! Facing the enemy on the flank! ”

Zhu Daohua stared at the Dutch ship in front of him.

The palms of my hands were already sweating.

However, he stood upright and made a look of being a bamboo in his chest.

The sergeants under his command were very energetic.

As the distance between the two sides gets closer and closer.

The eyes of the battlefield are all focused on this sea area.

......

"Rush so fast.... Wait until they reach a distance of two hundred meters before firing! ”

The commander of the Dutch fleet, Stkelen, ordered.

Dutch Governor Kreutz turned his head to look at the Chinese boats that had flown the Dutch flags.

The corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery.

"Chinese, it's all some wall grass..."

"Your Excellency the Governor, I think you attach too much importance to these Chinese, they are all businessmen, and they don't understand what war is!"

Stokeren's eyes were only fixed on the approaching Ming ships.

"And their ridiculous Chinese schooners are only suitable for merchant ships, and cannot be used for war!"

"The whole army is ready for shelling!!"

..........

The distance is getting closer.

Men on both sides were able to observe with the naked eye the guns on the side of the enemy ships on the opposite side.

Gong Zhu, the captain of the Haiyan-class ship 013, stared at the signal flag on the flagship, and as long as the order was given, he could react as soon as possible.

"This is the first battle of our army to establish the sea power of the South Seas! Seize the sea power of the South Seas and use the benefits of sea power as the basis for counterattacking the mainland!!"

These were the words of King Ming when he convened a meeting of officers before the start of the war.

"Counterattack the continent!"

Gong Zhuman muttered in a low voice.

"One day, we will kill all the bloody, sweep away the dust, and avenge the revenge of the family and country!"

The enemy of the country and the family hate it!

For Gong Zhuman.

The Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are definitely national hatred and family feud for him.

His real name is Gong Jiagui, and the Gong family has 100 acres of fertile land in Shunde Mansion.

As a small landowner, Gong Jiagui's original dream was to be named on the gold list and ranked first in the imperial examination.

However, as a Guangzhou banner man took a fancy to his family's land, he used various means to force his parents to death and plundered his family's land.

Gong Jiagui, who had nothing to rely on, changed his name to Gong Ada, became an urban proletarian hooligan class in Guangzhou Prefecture, and joined the Heaven and Earth Society to seek a living.

Until....

The arrival of Zhu Daohua.

It completely changed Gong Jiagui's life.

With the failure of the Heaven and Earth Society brothers, the Guangzhou uprising.

Gong Jiagui went to Europe with Zhu Daohua.

Studied at the French Naval Officers Academy for five years.

Five years later.

Gong Jiagui, who changed his name to Gong Zhuman to Mingzhi, is back!

"Captain, the flagship has turned!!"

Gong Zhuman came back to his senses from his memories.

"Follow the ship in front and get ready to turn!"

"Follow the ship in front and get ready to turn!"

As the order is repeated one level at a time, it is conveyed.

Gong Zhuman turned his head to his assistant and said: "Keep an eye on those Indians and Europeans, and tell them that there will be a heavy reward at the end of this war, and if there is any stealing and cheating, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"Understood!"

Twenty-one clippers quickly drew a C-shape on the sea.

Facing enemy ships on the side side.

Gong Zhuman stared at the flagbearer on the mast.

With the movements of the flag bearers.

Gong Zhuman quickly interpreted the tactical order.

"Prepare for the test firing, the test fire gun is aimed at the third ship on the left side of the enemy ship! Tail arrow test projectile loading preparation!! ”

"Reloaded!"

"Reloaded!"

Gong Zhuman took a deep breath.

"Launch!"

Rumble!

On the side of the ship, a long-barreled six-pounder cannon erupted into flames.

A cannonball in the shape of an arrow erupted from the muzzle.

Speed visible to the naked eye.

Fly towards the enemy ship!
