The strength shown by the Spaniards made the face of Dutch Fleet Commander Waite even uglier at this time.Seeing Zheng Zhilong's movement, his heart was in his stomach.

Fifty servant warships and thirteen Spaniards' own warships, compared with the Dutch's combat power, they are weaker.If you count the Spanish warships that had just been sunk, the Spaniards deployed a total of sixteen warships here.At this time, Waite was very angry, wishing to throw all those intelligence people off the boat to feed the sharks.

If I had known that the Spaniards were so powerful, how could I rush over here with such a small number of people?This is a Spanish conspiracy!Waite immediately confirmed this point. The Spaniards did not attack Penghu, probably because they wanted to lure themselves here.

Although Witte is an outstanding commander, he guessed wrong this time.The reason why the Spaniards did not attack Penghu was not because of other reasons, but because of insufficient strength.You must know that it was not only the Dutch who expelled the Spaniards, but also the Ming people in the Taiwan Strait. Zheng Zhilong played an irreplaceable role in it.

Coming back here this time, the Spaniard knows that Zheng Zhilong has strengthened Ruos, but he has no confidence in his heart.This is why they came forward to unite with Ming Dynasty, and they also need support.At this time, the ship that delivered the message from Daming hadn't arrived yet, but the Dutch had already appeared here.

Radwa stood on his flagship with a gloomy and terrifying face. Just when the three patrol ships were sunk, Radwa's hands were tightly clenched into fists.Glancing at the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong's allied forces rushing across, Radeva ordered loudly: "Put in battle formation, cooperate with the forts on the island, and sink the enemy's warships as much as possible."

Compared with the artillery equipped on the battleship, the artillery on the fort is much greater in terms of power and range.All of a sudden, the sound of artillery fire broke out.The sea water was splashed high, and then fell back to the sea surface with a splash.Gunpowder smoke filled the sea, and the whole sea was white.

Waite's face was still gloomy, and he kept commanding the battleship to change directions, avoiding the Spanish fleet's artillery fire, and at the same time sinking the Spanish artillery fire as much as possible.

"Your Excellency, Commander. This is not the way to go! The Spaniards are well prepared, and the artillery on the shore is all large-caliber heavy artillery. It has a long range and great power. We are at a disadvantage!" Brian came to Waite's side, Looking anxiously at Waite, he said loudly.

Glancing at Brian, Waite nodded slowly, this time Brian was very right.If the fight continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable.He glanced at Zheng Zhilong's fleet not far away.Werther said to Brian: "Give Zheng Zhilong a semaphore and let his people ignore the warships on the sea. We will contain these warships. Let his people quickly attack the beach and capture the Spanish fort as soon as possible."

For Waite, this is the best way!Zheng Zhilong's men are more experienced than his own for this kind of island landing operations.Their warships are small, fast, and maneuverable.Not easy to sink.What's more, if the operator is skilled, landing on the island is the best choice.

"Brother, the Dutch are playing the semaphore again, let's go to the island!" Zheng Zhibao had already held the saber in his hand, and his hands were trembling because of the excitement.Eyes full of excitement, he looked at Zheng Zhilong, waiting for his elder brother to give an order, the order he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Zheng Zhilong nodded, and said with a serious face: "At this time, we can no longer be half-hearted. The situation with your second brother is not very good, we must go ashore as soon as possible!"

"Yes, big brother!" Zheng Zhibao licked his lips excitedly, turned around to greet everyone, and prepared to storm the island.

The coalition forces of the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong soon changed.Waite led his fleet to fight fiercely with the Spaniards, while Zheng Zhibao was strangled with the Spaniards' servant warships.The artillery battle between the two sides has evolved into hand-to-hand combat.With his own knife in his mouth, Zheng Zhibao ordered his warship to slam into a Spanish servant warship.

Countless men jumped over, holding the rope in their hands, and their techniques were extremely skillful.As soon as the body fell to the ground, the knife in his hand had already slashed like a man on a battleship. Zheng Zhihu yelled loudly while fighting desperately.

Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to slack off at this time, and rushed towards the Spanish fleet with his flagship.They avoided the artillery fire of the Dutch along the way, even if they were bombarded, they would not fight back. They had only one goal, and that was the landing island.The fifty warships quickly dispersed and rushed towards the opposite side.

The naval battle was still going on, and on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, Ming's navy did not adopt the attack method of the Dutch.Instead, choose a method that is very useful, but not simple.

A huge ship tried from the port of Penghu, the waterline was very narrow, and it was loaded with countless cargoes.On one side of the big ship, four escort ships protect the safety of the big ship.This scene was seen by the Dutch in Penghu, and the rest of the matter fell into place.

How could the Dutch let such a ship go, whether it is collecting protection fees or robbing, this is a very good choice.However, they made a mistake, and several warships that used to collect protection fees were quickly sunk.It turned into broken pieces of wood on the sea, and the big ship walked forward unhurriedly.

Fa Lei is currently tasting wine. Although he likes Japanese wine very much, this kind of wine from the Ming Dynasty is also his favorite.Gently shaking his wine glass, Farley's face was full of enjoyment.

"Your Excellency, Commander Falei, something has happened!" A soldier under his command walked in, with a look of eagerness on his face, and said after saluting Falei.

"Captain, please pay attention to your attitude. Urgency is not the quality you should have. Here, we Dutch have the greatest advantage. What can make you make such a fuss?" Falei's face was slightly dissatisfied. Wyatt, Farley never takes kindly to people who interrupt his tasting.

The captain calmed down his emotions, and seeing that Falei's face looked better, he said: "Master Commander, there is a big cargo ship passing through our sea area, our people went up to check it, and they sank the former ship. Three servant warships to check."

"There is such a thing? It seems that these people are quite courageous! Are you sure where the merchant ship came from? A big merchant ship? How big is it?" The expression on Farley's face remained unchanged. In his opinion, this It was not a big deal, Farley was more interested in the huge cargo ship than the sinking of the warship.

"Your Excellency, Commander, that cargo ship is very huge, and it is escorted by four warships. I heard that the Spaniards have sent people to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate, and now I am afraid it is time to come back." Having said that, the team leader said No more words, I can't get involved too deeply.This is already enough, and the commander will not forget himself if he gets benefits.If there is really any mistake, the responsibility cannot be placed on myself.

Farley stood up, tidied up his attire, and then said: "Get the warship ready. This commander will bring this merchant ship back for interrogation, whether they belong to the Spaniards or not. This is our territory." , there are still people who dare to play wild with us."

Although the captain was slandering in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face, and still said respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

Off the coast of Penghu, Daming's warship was cruising, and Zhang Yukun stood at the bow, looking calm and calm.Beside him is a middle-aged man, wearing a coarse long gown, dressed as a businessman.This person is none other than Xu Xinsu.

"Xu Xinsu, you know the importance of this matter. If your plan fails, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish." Yu Zigao looked at Xu Xinsu and said with a threatening face.

Originally, my uncle had already made a battle plan, but Xu Xinsu unexpectedly jumped out and offered a trick to lure the enemy.His uncle actually believed it, and Yu Zigao could only express his dissatisfaction in this way.

"General Yu, I have been to Penghu, and I know these Dutch people very well. They will never let go of such an opportunity. What's more, we sank their warship, and they will definitely not let it go. These years The Dutch are operating in Penghu, and I am afraid that many forts have been set up along the coast. If we launch a strong attack, I am afraid there will be a lot of losses!" Xu Xinsu is now working for the court with all his heart. It is already to fight for a future.

I used to be a maritime merchant, and I was covered by Li Dan at sea. Now that Li Dan is gone, I need a new backer, and now I have found it.

"Okay, I'm in charge of this matter, don't lose your temper with him. If you have anything to tell me, just ask if you don't understand, there's no need to do this!" Zhang Yukun seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and glared at Yu Zigao , said in a deep voice.

"Master, I'm afraid of scaring the snake, but it won't have the effect of surprise." Yu Zigao looked at Zhang Yukun, although his face was a little red, but he still said his thoughts.

Zhang Yukun shook his head with a smile, and explained: "That's not what I said. We don't know the situation on the opposite side, the combat effectiveness of our army, and the combat effectiveness of the Dutch. We must be cautious in everything. Step by step, our navy can take shape only after going through a few battles. We can’t make any mistakes before it takes shape, otherwise we will be sinners!”

"Yes, uncle!" Yu Zigao nodded. He also felt that what Zhang Yukun said made sense, so he didn't say anything more, but turned his gaze to the sea, waiting for the Dutchman to come out. (To be continued..)
