I am the carpenter king

The sea at night seems to have been splashed with ink, and it looks pitch black, which makes people feel very uncertain.Gently wiped it on the face, the whole person suddenly became much more energetic, and the wet and cool sea breeze made the whole person uncomfortable.

"It's so late, why isn't General Qi going to bed? Are you worried about tomorrow's battle?" Zhang Yukun walked onto the deck in a long gown, saw Qi Jin standing there, walked over, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Master was joking. With Uncle Master in charge, how could Qi Jin be worried? But this time the matter is of great importance, so there must be no mistakes!" Qi Jin shook his head with a wry smile. Although he had absolute confidence in victory, Qi Jin was still a little nervous.He and Yu Zigao are highly valued by Emperor Tianqi, so there must be absolutely no mistakes this time.From Qi Jin's point of view, once there was a slight omission, he would have no face to meet Emperor Tianqi.

Nodding with a smile, Zhang Yukun walked to Chuan's side, supported the boat with both hands, and said to Qi Jin with a smile: "There are some things we can't change, we just obey the destiny. General Qi is a veteran in the battlefield. He was a little confused before the battle. It is human nature. I believe that General Qi will be able to sweep away the demons, perhaps as long as he hears the sound of guns and guns, the demons will disappear.”

Qi Jin wasn't answering, and Zhang Yukun wasn't talking either. The two just stood there quietly, waiting for the dawn to come.The only tranquility before the war made every soldier's excited mood slowly calm down, but the excitement again may be like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

The sun slowly scattered on the sea, everyone on the fleet was busy, no one made a sound, they just lowered their heads to work.The entire fleet is busy in an orderly manner, and they are very familiar with such things.Witt was dressed in military uniform, with a telescope in his hand and a smile on his face.After today, the Dutch will unify the Taiwan Strait.

The noisy sound in the distance reached Werther's ears, which made him frown. When he determined where the sound came from, Werther's eyes flashed fiercely.

"These Daming people are really hateful, they must have done it on purpose!" Brian walked to Waite's side.Looking at Zheng Zhilong's fleet, he kept cursing.Seeing that Waite didn't speak, Brian continued, "Your Excellency, I think it's really useless for us to bring them here. They won't help us fight, and maybe they will make trouble at some point."

Looking back at Brian, Werther smiled calmly and explained: "Even if they don't help, it's good to keep them by our side. If we let them go, I'm afraid that after we beat the Spaniards, our Penghu will be destroyed." Now it's Zheng Zhilong's. Now he absolutely dare not act rashly. After all, we haven't eliminated the Spaniards, and it's not time for our decisive battle. Of course, if we can't easily eliminate the Spaniards, I'm afraid Zheng Zhilong and the others will attack us after us. "

The darkness gradually dissipated, and the high tide began, which also meant that the attack was about to begin!

The Spaniards did not fortify Keelung Port.Instead, I chose Sheliao Island not far from Keelung.Keelung is a place surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side. The geographical location of Sheliao Island is very important.It can be said to be the gateway to the entire Keelung.The Spaniards originally wanted to build a fortress here, but they only had time to build a city. The name of the city had already been thought of, called San Salvador City.

Raul is an ordinary soldier in Spain. He sits on something that many people are unwilling to do, that is, guarding the tower.Because the tower is high enough.Coupled with a telescope, you can see the surrounding situation clearly.He had to get up and look at it every quarter of an hour, letting the sea breeze blow him, and Raul hated this errand so much.

But this is his duty, even if Raul wants to change jobs.He has no money to bribe his boss.For the Spaniards, when they come to Taiwan Strait this time, they must stand firm.

Standing up slowly, Raul took out the telescope and looked at the distant sea.Raul didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. If there were any mistakes, he might die.Originally, he didn't care about these things, but this time the expression on Raul's face froze.

On the surface of the sea, many small black spots slowly appeared. As a naval lookout, Raul knew very well that it was a large-scale fleet.Cold sweat immediately flowed down his face, he wiped his hands on his body, and opened his eyes wide.There are Spanish warships docked in the bay, and there are also battleships patrolling the periphery. Such a large-scale fleet is absolutely impossible to be our own.

With trembling hands stretched out to the side for the alarm, Raul couldn't help but shouted loudly, "There is an enemy attack!" The sound didn't spread far, but the alarm sound quickly rang throughout the city of San Salvador .The Spanish soldiers in the city quickly ran to the prepared fortifications, and the soldiers on the warship also quickly boarded their warships and began to raise the sails, shouting and cursing resounded throughout the port.

Soon the Spanish fleet commander Radeva walked up to the watchtower, picked up the binoculars on his chest and looked at it, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.Raul, who was already in a daze, ignored him, and walked down with big strides.

"Order, everyone board the ship! Drive the battleship out of the port and prepare to meet the enemy! All the land forts are loaded with ammunition. The fleet is within the range of the land forts, and the fleet is ready to fight!" With a brief order, the ships on the shore The matter was handed over to his deputy, and Radwa directly boarded his flagship.

This battle is finally coming, and the Spaniard is very excited and slightly nervous.Long awaited, finally here!

Standing on the bow of the flagship, Waite raised the binoculars in front of him and looked at the busy Spanish port in the distance, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.Glancing at Zheng Zhilong's team not far away, he turned his head and said to the messengers beside him, "The fleet is quickly deployed, and now we will get rid of the Spanish warships standing guard outside."

With the help of the rising tide, the Dutch fleet advanced rapidly, and soon the Spanish patrol ships came into range.Seeing them turn sideways, Waite frowned, but the Spaniard's reaction was not slow.However, this did not exceed Werther's expectations, and he directly ordered: "Shoot in divisions and sink these warships as soon as possible."

At this time, the three Spanish patrol ships had already prepared their artillery, and all the baffles were lowered, and the black muzzles stretched out in an instant.There were twenty side string guns, aimed at the Dutch battleship and ready to fire.Although there were only three warships, and they didn't want to lose their lives here, they had no choice but to fight for time for the warships in the port.

If the three patrol ships retreat and the rest of the warships are blocked in the port, the consequences will be disastrous.

The battle was about to start, and the roar of the artillery soon broke the tranquility of the sea, bursts of white smoke rose, and the shells whizzed through the air.

The division of labor of the Dutch is very clear, five battleships have already turned sideways, and the side string guns are constantly spraying shells.The rest of the battleships still did not stop, and rushed towards the port.

The battle was quickly over, with three Spanish warships torn to pieces, drifting logs everywhere, and a wailing Spanish navy.No one cares about these, the Dutch are determined to block the Spanish fleet before entering the port.After just a moment of fighting, the Dutch realized that this was a hard fight.

Seven of the [-] auxiliary warships were sunk, and a Dutch warship was hit by several shells. The water on the ship had already begun to leak, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.The Dutch soldiers on board had already started lowering the lifeboat, apparently preparing to abandon the ship to save their lives!

"Give Zheng Zhilong a semaphore, let his people come up, and don't let them take advantage of it!" Wei Te's face became gloomy by the way, and he ordered the messenger on the side.

"Brother, the Dutch are in a hurry!" Zheng Zhihu smiled when he saw the semaphore played by the Dutch, pointed at the Dutch fleet, and said to Zheng Zhilong behind him.

It seems that he didn't hear Zheng Zhihu's words, Zheng Zhilong frowned slightly, and kept thinking in his heart, what should he do?The difficulty of the Spaniard seems to be unexpected. If he does not participate, the Dutch may not necessarily treat the Spaniard.

If it is withdrawn in this way, the Taiwan Strait will still be three-legged, and it is impossible for the Dutch to throw all their warships here.Even if he wiped out the Dutch fleet here, there are still their people in Penghu.Besides, he and the Spaniards have already torn their faces, and the Spaniards probably won't just sit back and watch them destroy the Dutch.After thinking about it, it would be prudent to kill the Spaniards first before breaking up with the Dutch.

"Second brother, you go up with fifty ships to minimize casualties! You only need to know the small warships of the Spaniards, and leave the big ones to the Dutch." Now that he has made up his mind, Zheng Zhilong will not hesitate , and directly instructed the second brother on the side.

"Brother, why don't we watch the fun? Let them hit first, and we'll get the cheapest last." Zheng Zhihu looked at Zheng Zhilong with a little puzzlement, and said hesitantly.

Shaking his head, Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to get cheap, do as I say!"

"Yes, brother!" I could only suggest, seeing Zheng Zhilong's appearance, Zheng Zhihu knew that my brother had made up his mind.He nodded solemnly, turned around and went to greet the man to build the springboard. He needed to go to his own warship.

The Dutch plan failed after all. Perhaps the Spaniards had already prepared for it. When they wiped out the three patrol ships, the Spanish fleet had already rushed out of the bay.At the front are the Spanish warships, and behind them are the underlings from Manila. Although their warships are not as good as those of the Dutch and Spaniards, they are on par with Zheng Zhilong's warships. (To be continued..)
