The column of smoke rising from the warship could be seen from a long distance, and Dimen, who commanded the rear army, had a gloomy face: "John, what is the situation of the front army, why is the artillery silent after a while."

"Just now, the sailors of the watchtower reported that the front army and the Ming army were engaged, and the battle situation is not good."

"My lord, you can see clearly, the fire is our warship."

"John, immediately gather the team, it seems that the Ming army has new weapons, and we will attack closely."

"My lord, our warships are not as many as the Ming army, I think we should spread them out more, so that we can give full play to our advantages of mobility and flexibility."

"I also know what you said, but that's what the front army did, and the result was not wiped out by the Ming army, so we gathered together and ordered all the warships to raise their full sails, and we acted together, interspersed back and forth, and destroyed the Ming warships in the process of interspersing."

"Yes! My lord. John immediately gave a loud order: "All ships move closer to the flagship, raise their full sails, and go at full speed!" go！ go！ go！ ”

Shi Lang, who had been paying attention to the movements of the enemy, saw that the enemy army had changed its formation, and immediately divided the fleet into four teams, advancing in a zigzag formation, with the Zhenxing at the head and Weiyuan in the center.

Dimen was overjoyed when he saw the formation of the Qingming army, and he commanded the flagship to enter the Ming army from the middle.

The Ming army waited for the Dutch fleet to enter the firing range and fired decisively, and the high-speed maneuverability effect of the Dutch ships came out, interspersed all the way through, although most of the ships caught fire under the artillery of the Ming army's secret collection, but the fire was not big, and the Ming army was under the artillery of the Dutch, and many ships also caught fire.

"John! When did the artillery of the Ming army become so powerful! ”

"My lord, the situation is not good, the range of the enemy's artillery is especially that of our army, are we still going to charge the battle?"

"Chong, or according to the previous method of warfare, it is not good for us to be separated."

"My lord, the charge just now made more than 30 of our ships lose their combat power, are they still rushing?"

"Rush! Sink the Ming Army! ”

Seeing that the Dutch turned around and came again, Shi Lang ordered all the warships to get ready, this time to make sure that all the guns were fired together, and the sails of the enemy ships were abolished, once the enemy's speed advantage was gone, it was not a problem to destroy the enemy.

This time, due to the fact that Dimon let the warships that had no combat power collide directly with the Ming warships, this wave of operations caused heavy losses to the Ming army, but although this method of warfare worked, it also delayed the speed of the Dutch warships, which allowed the Ming artillery to exert its maximum power.

Seeing that the fleet's speed advantage was gone, Dimon ordered the use of muskets, but then he regretted his decision.

Close combat is the strength of Gatling and AK47, and when his men and horses were suppressed by the Ming army and could not advance, he knew that the big thing was not good, and sure enough, Shi Lang saw that the enemy was suppressed by his own firepower, and immediately ordered the rocket artillery to turn the muzzle and bombard towards the place where there were many Dutchmen.

A naval battle was filled with gunfire from noon to night, and in the end, all but two or three of the Dutch ships escaped and were captured or sunk by the Ming army.

After counting, the Dutch were captured more than 700 people, the rest were missing, 80 warships, and the remaining 14 were not badly damaged. The Ming army lost more than 5,000 people and more than 40 warships, which can be said to be a complete victory.

There was no time for interrogation, so Shi Lang sent someone to send all the captured Dutch to Fujian and hand them over to Yao Qisheng.

The three Dutch warships that escaped, when they sailed to the vicinity of Qiongzhou, encountered Zheng Chenggong again, and were sunk by Zheng Chenggong's South China Sea Fleet, so far, the fleet led by Dimen was completely destroyed.

When the news of the destruction of the Dimmen fleet reached India, the Dutch panicked, and the local aborigines took the opportunity to rise up against the Dutch colonial rule. When the news reached the Netherlands, King William was taken aback, the East India Company was the main economic source of the Netherlands, and there was no room for error, so he hurriedly sent more than 17,000 people and 100 warships from the country to India, suppressing the uprising of the locals on the one hand, and preventing the Ming army from attacking.

When the news of the great victory in the South China Sea came, the whole country of the Ming Dynasty rejoiced, and at the same time, it also caused concern for the Qing Dynasty and Geldan.

"The Ming army's victory in the South China Sea has greatly encouraged the whole country, and the morale of the Ming army has been greatly boosted. Shunzhi said to the hundred officials in the court worriedly.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, after more than a year of rest, the number of troops has recovered to the same as before, whether it is against Geldan or against the Ming Dynasty, we have the strength to fight." Dai Shan assured.

"What Prince Lie said is true, according to the informant, Geerdan is now frequently transferring troops, and has the intention of advancing eastward, as long as we concentrate our forces and defeat Geerdan before the Ming army sends troops, then we still have a chance to destroy the Ming army. Moreover, our people also spent a lot of money to get the blueprints of the new weapons of the Ming army, which are being studied in the starry night, please rest assured that the emperor. ”

Listening to Sony talk about this, Shunzhi was angry, the informant was also a pig, and he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to come to a very abstract picture of the whole picture, Sony said that the research, Shunzhi is not optimistic, nothing, research fart.

Geerdan, who was leading his troops eastward, was also surprised when he heard the news of the Ming army's victory in the South China Sea, the development of the Ming army in the past two years was too fast, and he felt that he could no longer spend so much time with the Qing army, leaving time for the Ming army to develop, and he must defeat the Qing army in a war, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
