"Turned?"

"This...."

"It's only more than 400 meters, right?"

"Are you going to shoot at each other?"

"The small boat and the big boat shoot at each other, the people of the Zhu family must be crazy!!"

The spectators who were watching the battle also noticed the movement of the Ming warships.

"Four hundred meters of distance steering?"

The Ming army's actions greatly surprised Stokeren.

Before he could react.

Twenty-one Ming warships were on the side of each with a cannon spewing out tongues of fire.

Immediately after, an arrow-shaped cannonball flew.

At a distance of four hundred meters, these shells flew in less than a second.

Whoosh.

Most of them missed.

Some flew over the mast, others plunged headlong into the sea not far from the side of the ship.

There were also two shells, which missed the plank of a battleship.

"What kind of shell is this?"

On the side of the battleship that was hit, the Dutch sailors lay on the side of the ship and looked at the shells stuck in the board.

With a tail fin, in the middle is a slender wine jar shape, and there is a spike on the head, which has been deeply inserted into the ship's plank, and some sailors have tried to pull it out, but they can't pull it out even if they try their best.

As a matter of fact.

The shells were also wrapped in wooden stocks.

However, the wooden stock was detached from the shell after it was discharged.

......

"Not bad!"

Zhu Daohua, who was holding the binocular, nodded with satisfaction.

This round of test firing turned out to be very good.

Two shells hit.

Most of the shells flew over the masts of the enemy ships.

And the note has brought the enemy ship into the range.

"Herald! Change to a high-explosive bomb and fire a salvo from one side of the ship!! The captains of each ship are in charge of commanding and fighting at the highest rate of fire! ”

"Change to high-explosive shells, one side of the ship's side volley!! The captains of each ship are in charge of commanding and fighting at the highest rate of fire! ”

As the command is kept being repeated.

The gunners of the ships carried out tactical maneuvers in accordance with the order.

Based on the data from previous test launches, the muzzle aiming was adjusted.

"Report to the captain! You're ready! ”

Haiyan-class ship 013.

The deputy beside Gong Zhuman said loudly.

"Herald! After a salvo, the guns fire freely at their highest rate of fire! ”

"After a salvo, the guns fire freely at the highest rate of fire!"

"Salvo ready!"

"Salvo ready!!"

Various tactical orders came and went.

With the order to fire a salvo in the gun compartment was given.

Rumble!!

Each battleship shook almost simultaneously.

Tongue of Fire!

More than one hundred and twenty cannons roared at the same time.

Wooden tail arrow shells, loaded with a kilogram of mercury thunderate explosives, whizzed through the sky and swooped towards the Dutch fleet again!

Dodo....

According to the configuration of two ships aiming at one enemy ship in a salvo.

The first round of salvo hit rate was exceptionally high!

Eleven battleships targeted.

Every battleship was hit by at least one shell!

The cannonball, with its arrow-like head, pierced deep into the battleship's oak plank.

Thick oak planks.

An ordinary six-pounder cannon would never be able to penetrate a hit at a distance of 400 meters.

At most, a crack remains, and then the potential energy of the cannonball is lost, and it falls into the sea.

Just when the Dutch sailors did not understand why the Chinese shells were hung on the ship's board with spikes.

The Dutch sailors on the battleships who were not hit saw the most feared scene of their lives.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Boom Boom!!

Shells exploded one after another!

A battleship that was hit in the center of the ship's side was blasted by a kilogram of high explosives close to the waterline!

Suddenly sawdust flew everywhere.

A huge gap was blown open in the side of the ship!

The power of a high-explosive explosion.

Not a ship made of wood can withstand it.

An explosion.

It's a terrifying gap!!

Such a violent explosion almost broke the entire ship from it!

Soon.

At the huge breach, the sea poured in like a levee.

The hull of the battleship quickly tilted.

The guns in the cabin slid to one side.

The explosion caused the battleship to catch fire.

The tilted hull caused the gunpowder on the hold where the gunpowder was stored to also tumble and roll to one side.

Soon....

A terrifying loud bang rang out.

A mushroom cloud rises in the middle of the battleship!

The fire sparked a martyrdom.

Moment.

A nearly invincible third class battleship across East Asia.

Die in the fire!!

.......

“.....”

“！！！！”

All the people on the Chinese boat group flying the Dutch flag were stunned.

They stared in amazement at the balls of fireball floating on the sea.

Those battleships that were hit.

Even if it was just a hit by a shell.

will be blown open with a big gap.

Seawater pours in through the gap.

Caused the hull to tilt.

Even if the flames caused by the explosion ignited the gunpowder in the ship's cabin and caused the detonation.

Under such a degree of inclination.

The battleship has been scrapped.

It's a matter of time before the boat capsizes!

One shot....

Just scrap a ship!

Such a scene made the necks of these Chinese who came to Nanyang cold one by one.

After being stunned for a while.

Boom Boom!

Another cannonball with a terrible whistling sound swooped down on the Dutch fleet...

"The Dutch are finished!"

The thought crossed the minds of all those who were watching the battle.

.......

"It's over..."

The commander of the Dutch fleet, Rear Admiral Sterkelen, was cold and weakly clinging to the side of the ship.

Even the commanders.

Sailors of all ranks in the Netherlands were no better.

The scene in front of you is completely subversive.

There is no passion for battleship shooting.

Some are just merciless explosions.

Boom Boom!

Another explosion pulled Stekren out of his trance.

Beside him, Kreutz, the governor of Batavia, the Netherlands, muttered: "It's over... The Dutch colonies in Southeast Asia are finished...."

When St Karen heard this, he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

"Governor, the Chinese got a reliable explosive ... The era of sail battleships is over."

St. Keren forced himself to calm down.

"After this war, the navies of the whole of Europe were left behind! The huge battleship became a living target at sea, a coffin at sea ...

It's ridiculous.

The sail battleships that European countries relied on to control the world.

Overnight.

It's all waste.

"But we're just a little bit behind... What we need now is time! ”

"As long as we also build a large number of fast warships, equipped with the same flowering shells as the Chinese... With Europe's powerful ship and artillery manufacturing capabilities, the hegemon at sea will not be Chinese! ”

St. Karen gritted his teeth as he gritted his teeth as he gritted his hands.

"But now the war can't go on ...."

Kreuz smiled wryly.

"Surrender, we seek diplomatic mediation, the British will not be happy to see Chinese occupy the ..... of Southeast Asia"

"Nope! Your Excellency the Governor-General. St. Keren raised his head, "The Chinese will not allow us to have so many battleships in Southeast Asia, they will not be reassured, so they will definitely take the opportunity to sink all our battleships..."

"Only then will they negotiate."

"Herald! Everyone gets on the lifeboat..... Abandon the battleship! ”

St Keren gave the order.

"Mr. General, you..."

St Karen turned his head: "The captain wants to be with his battleship." ”
