Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 611
"Fire, fire quickly..."

The Spanish colonel saw the merchant ship suddenly burst into flames and rushed towards the combined fleet, and immediately panicked and ordered to fire.

A dozen Dutch and Spanish warships immediately opened fire on the fireship.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

Hundreds of naval guns bombarded the Ming fire ship fiercely, and several fire ships in front were shot one after another.

The sea is very stormy, the warships are constantly undulating with the waves, and the target of the merchant ships is small, resulting in a very low hit rate of the combined fleet's artillery.

But after all, there were so many artillery shells bombarding at the same time, and in the end, dozens of shells bombarded the arson ship.

The sawdust of the arson ship that was hit immediately flew, and sparks flew everywhere.

But the Ming Dynasty merchant ships all have airtight compartments, even if the bow of the ship is blown off, they are still rushing forward.

With the violent bombardment of the Spanish warships, some arson ships began to slow down, but they still approached the United Fleet.

"Boom bang bang..."

The United Fleet kept bombarding them, and finally the several arson ships in front were sunk.

However, there are still more than 20 arson ships, taking advantage of the wind to quickly approach the warships of the United Fleet.

While Garcelo was dealing with the Ming Dynasty's arsonist ship, Colonel Netherlands commanded their warships to approach the right wing of the Ming Fleet desperately.

Cruy wanted to capture the Daming Ironclad Battleship wholeheartedly.

"Commander, there are five Dutch warships approaching on the right flank, and the Wendi has sunk two Dutch warships in a row."

The Wendi sank two Dutch warships one after another, but there were still five Dutch warships rushing up from the right flank.

Haijiao, the captain of the Wendi, reported the situation to Zheng Chenggong while ordering the bombardment of the Dutch warship.

After Zheng Chenggong heard the report from Haijiao, he immediately judged that the Dutch wanted to fight against Ming.

"Wendi, the Dutch definitely want to capture you, and then use the Ming iron-clad ships to bombard our fleet.

I will immediately order the Jiajing to support you, and I must sink them. How can the Ming warship let them be captured. "

"Yes, governor, don't worry, the ship is here!"

Haijiao agreed and immediately sent an order:

"The gunners bombarded the lead ship of the Netherlands. The gunners were ready to fight. Once a Dutch warship approached our ship, let them taste the grenade."

"Yes"

Under the command of Ajax, five Dutch warships quickly rushed to the right wing of the Ming fleet.

The Dutch battleship The Hague was at the forefront, and they rushed over quickly under the artillery fire of the Wendi.

Haijiao, the captain of the Wendi, was furious:
"Soldiers, hit all the artillery and sink the Dutch battleship in front of me, pay attention to the bombardment of the waterline."

"Rumble..."

The warship Wendi was not bombarding other warships, and sixty artillery pieces on one side bombarded the Hague.

Due to the short distance, at least [-] shells bombarded the waterline of The Hague's bow.

All of the bows of the battleship Hague were smashed immediately, and the sea surged into the cabin of the battleship, and the bow of the Hague immediately began to sink.

Due to the inertia of the wind, the Hague almost overturned from behind, and soon pushed by the wind, the Hague plunged into the sea water.

At this time, the Jiajing also rushed to the side of the Wendi, and the guns on the battleship violently bombarded the Dutch battleship rushing behind.

Two Daming ironclad warships bombarded violently, and four of the five Dutch warships were sunk one after another.

Seeing that the two Ming warships easily bombarded the five Dutch warships, four of them had already sunk.

Colonel Netherland's eyes began to turn red, and his mentality was completely out of balance:

"Order the twenty warships behind to rush up immediately, and must be close to the Ming battleship."

Even if four more warships were sunk, Colonel Netherland still thought of capturing the ironclad warship of Ming Dynasty,

He brought more than 60 warships, couldn't he kill the two Ming warships?
As long as they captured a Daming iron-clad battleship, it would not be considered a loss for them.

Under Colonel Netherland's crazy bet, the role of the pack of wolves began to show.

Although five more warships were sunk, the hull of the Ming battleship also became potholed, and the shells were used up.

Not only did the shells on the Wendi run out, but the battleship Jiajing also ran out of ammunition.

"Report to the captain, the shells are seriously consumed and will be used up soon."

Baihu, the artilleryman, reminded Captain Haijiao for the third time that they were out of ammunition.

Originally, there were a lot of ammunition belts, but the number of combined fleets was too large. Because of the strong waves, the hit rate dropped, and the Wendi finally couldn't support it.

Haijiao didn't panic at all, there was no big deal, the most he could do was to be loyal to the country.

Under normal circumstances, he should ask Zheng Chenggong for instructions and withdraw from the battle for supplies.

But in the face of the United Fleet's crazy attack, Haijiao didn't choose to do that.

When the fleet needs them most, they must not retreat. Once they retreat, the right wing of the fleet will be given to the United Fleet.

Haijiao walked into the cabin indifferently, looked at his soldiers and asked:
"Brothers, we have no shells, are you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid, if we die in battle, our family will be taken care of by the state, and we will die without regret."

Haijiao nodded, showing determination in his eyes:

"Thank you brothers for never backing down. You are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Today, this general decided to live and die with you. Now I decide to hit the Dutch warship with an iron-clad battleship.

Brothers, hold on to the handrails. Once the enemy takes advantage of the collision between the two ships to sneak attack on our warship, you have to treat them well with grenades. "

"Yes"

The Wendi smoke billowed out of the smoke, and headed towards the Dutch battleship at full speed.

Haijiao's move immediately startled Zheng Zhihu, the captain of the Jiajing.

He was not worried about the Wendi being hit and sunk, but worried that Dutch soldiers would take the opportunity to board the Ming warship.

There are nearly ten warships, and there are many people. If the Wendi is captured, it will be a big trouble.

"Follow up and cover the Wendi."

Zheng Zhihu hurriedly ordered the Jiajing to keep up with the protection, they still had some shells.

Seeing the Ming warship rushing towards his own warship, Colonel Netherlands was not surprised but delighted.

If you don’t walk in heaven, you can’t go to hell.

Rush order:

"Three warships go up to meet them, pay attention to boarding the Ming battleship when the ship collides! Haha..."

Cape grabbed the handrail and stared at the Dutch battleship ahead, ready to bear the inertia of the battleship collision at any time.

The guns of the Dutch warships were all on the sidestring, and they could not fire when they were advancing, and they stopped shelling at this time.

This gave the Jiajing a good chance to sink them, and Zheng Zhihu immediately ordered the Jiajing to rush over and fire.

Just as the Jiajing rushed up, the Wendi had already slammed into the first Dutch warship that rushed up.

The Dutch battleship originally wanted to bypass the Wendi, but the sails were too weak and the Wendi was so fast, they could only watch the two warships collide.

"Boom..."

With a loud noise, the bow of the Dutch warship was smashed to pieces.

Those Dutch soldiers who held onto the armrest tightly with one hand and flying claws with the other suddenly turned into trapeze people.

However, the hull of the Wendi is made of iron plates, and the tonnage is much heavier. When the two warships collided, the God of War only shook for a while.

Only a few soldiers who didn't hold on to the handrail fell and were injured and some naval guns overturned, other problems were not serious.
