Chapter 477
Yamaguchi died early and kicked the Spaniard over, and immediately ordered the pirate ship to rush towards the Ming battleship.

The three ironclad warships confronted the three pirate ships. If they attacked separately, they should not be severely damaged immediately, but they rushed towards the Chongzhen ship together.

Because in the eyes of Yamaguchi's early death, the Chongzhen ship was the best. This was his first goal, and he wanted to win the Chongzhen ship in one go.

Huang Fei saw through their intentions at a glance, and it was a big joke that a few pirates still wanted to capture the Daming iron-clad warship.

A cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Huang Fei's mouth. He wanted to make a fortune from the pirates, so he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie:
"Wendi, Wudi, and Chongzhen, concentrate fire on the masts and sails of the pirate ships to prevent them from escaping, then bombard their guns, and then kill them."

"Yes"

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

With Huang Fei's order, the three armored battleships fired more than 100 naval guns at the three pirate ships with a burst of shelling.

The distance between the Ming battleship and the pirate ship was still beyond the range of the pirate ship's guns. They never thought that the armored battleship's guns could have such a long range.

Whimsical and the Ming army fought a grand battle, but the result was still two miles away, and suddenly countless shells bombarded their deck.

Debris flew all over the deck, the mast began to shake violently, the sails were pierced and caught fire, and many sailors were killed.

Seeing the fierce firepower of the Ming army, the pirates immediately went into chaos:
"Boss, the Ming army is firing, let's run away!"

Hearing the pirate's report, Yamaguchi shouted hastily:

"Hold on, hold on fast, and fire 200 meters ahead."

"Rumble..."

Before the words of Yamaguchi died, the warship of the Ming army turned around quickly, and another round of shells attacked the pirate ship. This time the target was their gun deck, and all solid shells were used.

The second deck of the pirate ship was pierced in many places, and most of the pirate artillery who were about to fire inside became targets for Ming army guns. Even the body of Yamaguchi who died early was pierced by a solid bullet.

Yamaguchi died early, and now he really died early. Once he died, the head of the pirate ship became a German horse shit, and this guy hurriedly ordered the pirate ship to retreat.

However, the sails on the pirate ship were all destroyed by the Ming army, and they had no power at all. They could only let the sea wind blow and spin on the sea surface, and they could not escape at all.

At this time, the main force of the Ming army was approaching the battlefield, and Zhu Youjian was watching the battle with a telescope. This was the first time he saw a real naval battle. Seeing the fierce firepower of the Ming warship, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

"Attention everyone, try not to bombard the pirate ship at the waterline, and continue to fire:
"Rumble..."

Huang Fei was still thinking about the gold and silver on the pirate ship, worried that the pirate ship would be sunk, and ordered the naval guns not to sink the pirate ship, so the naval guns bombarded the first and second decks of the pirate ship.

After another two rounds of bombardment, there were not many people alive on the three pirate ships. Even the Germans who were flying the white flag were blown to pieces by shells.

The remaining small group of pirates all hid in the cabin and did not dare to move. Three Ming army warships quickly approached the pirate ship, and the soldiers boarded the pirate ship in full armor.

Anyone seen, whether they surrendered or resisted, was shot.

Dozens of Western pirates hiding in the cabin did not dare to get out of the cabin, and even dared to shoot in resistance, and were soon blown to pieces by a burst of grenade.

Soldiers of the Ming army wore steel helmets and bulletproof vests, and entered the cabin back to back with pistols in their hands to search. It didn't take too long, and more than 100 people were found from the cabin.

There are more than a dozen Japanese women among them. These Japanese women's clothes are messy and they look good. Obviously, they are all Japanese geisha who serve these pirates.

With a wave of Huang Fei's hand, soldiers immediately asked these people to stand by the side of the boat facing the sea, and then there was a burst of gunfire, and they fell into the sea to feed the fish one after another.

Because Huaxia used virtue to convince people, I don’t know how many people in the country shed blood and tears, but Zhu Youjian would no longer use virtue to convince people. There is no need for these foreign races.

No matter how good you are to them, they will betray you as soon as they have the opportunity, and the people who hurt us in the end are almost all the white-eyed wolves we have helped.

The three pirate ships were wiped out by Huang Fei, and the next step was to search for the treasures of the pirates. As a result, more than 200 million taels of gold and silver were found from the three pirate ships, including a large amount of jewelry.

Looking at the gold, silver and jewels piled up on the deck, Huang Fei smiled happily. With only one person injured, he was able to wipe out the pirates and get so much gold, silver and jewels. Can he not be happy?

But what he did made Zheng Chenggong very upset. Zheng Chenggong ordered to sink the pirate ship directly, so that there would be almost no casualties in the Ming army.

Later, Huang Fei actually played a direct battle with the pirates. If the Ming army suffered a large number of casualties, Zheng Chenggong would definitely punish Huang Fei.

When Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Youjian boarded the pirate ship, they were also shocked by the scene before them. They did not expect that there would be so much gold and silver on the pirate ship.

But soon Zheng Chenggong's face darkened:

"How about Huang Fei's casualties?"

"Captain, as long as one person is injured, the injury is not serious. The subordinates fired shells first and then quickly boarded the ship. The pirates have not reacted yet. We have already arrived on their ship, so the casualties are almost zero."

Zheng Chenggong looked at Zhu Youjian quietly, and seeing that the emperor's expression did not change, he said:

"Although only one person was injured, you are also violating the military order. Today, the governor is looking at 200 million taels of gold and silver. I will let you go for now. If there is another time, I will never show mercy."

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Reward 20 taels of silver to the wounded soldiers, and another five taels of silver for all soldiers who participated in the battle today, and hand in all the rest."

Seeing that neither the emperor nor the governor had punished him, Huang Fei hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Dudu."

After thanking Zhu Youjian and Zheng Chenggong, Huang Fei called a thousand households and asked him to arrange manpower to distribute rewards, and then put the gold and silver on the iron-clad warship, and then Zheng Chenggong announced that the fleet would continue to move forward.

The current governor of Batavia is Anthony Van Diemen, we call him Van Diemen for short.

There are two gates in Batavia Castle. One is the water gate. The water gate is built in the water, facing the sea, and parallel to the sea level. It is mainly used for ships to enter and exit, and all the materials needed by the castle enter through the water gate.

The other gate faces the inland city, usually called the city gate, which is the only passage for traffic on the road. Both gates are heavily guarded, and there are shore artillery defenses above.

The Dutch dug two canals in the castle. These two canals lead directly to the sea. They also dug two inner harbors that can park more than ten warships. The inner harbors lead to the canals and can enter and exit the sea.

In order to control the spices in Batavia, Van Diemen not only kept his eye on the Portuguese, but also beat the Spaniards in Luzon, almost monopolizing most of the spice and sugar markets.
