Win the Ding 1617

When the flag on the head of Zeelandia City was blown by the enthusiastic south wind and stretched its body to the north, the Dutch East India United Company in Batavia sent reinforcements led by Jakob Kou and finally appeared in Taiwan. of the ocean.This support fleet consists of twelve gunboats and twenty support auxiliary ships, carrying [-] soldiers on board. This is almost all the strength the Dutch can mobilize in East Asian waters.

The reinforcements set off on the [-]th of the [-]th of the month, and arrived in the ocean off Taiwan on the [-]nd of July. The arrival of this Dutch fleet caused cheers from both armies inside and outside the city of Zeelandia.

The Dutch wailed over the façades that had been nearly destroyed by what seemed to be an exhaustive month of bombardment by the South Central Army. This time of being a groundhog was finally over.The company did not abandon Formosa, nor did it abandon these citizens of the Netherlands!

And the soldiers and civilians of the Nanzhong Army outside Yikun and on the main island of Taiwan were also cheering, they finally welcomed the reinforcements of this group of red-haired barbarians!The time has come to resolve the sovereignty issue of the entire Southeast Asia in World War I!

When attacking a city, reinforcements must be sent first. As long as the reinforcements are defeated, the enemy in the city will surely be captured without a fight.

This is the consensus of the whole army for more than a month!

For more than a month, the whole army, apart from sweeping up the stubborn people on the island who insisted on being loyal to the Dutch, the various villages and communities that were enemies of the Reclamation Bureau, and the big belly kingdom, took turns on the island. Training and rest under the city of Zeelandia.

However, the fly in the ointment is that after Chixian City was captured by the South China Army, Guo Huaiyi emerged from Anping Town as the guard of the Zheng Family Army in Taiwan.Ask for Zheng Jiajun's territory in Tamsui City and the grain and rice harvested.Shou Han ordered someone to put him on a fishing boat very bluntly, "Go back to Fujian to see your Marshal Zheng, and ask him to come and talk to me about this matter!"

"Commander! Our army has been resting in Taiwan for more than a month, and the sons and daughters are already gearing up. Just wait for the Dutch warships to arrive here. In this battle, I will practice the fleet as the main force and defeat the Dutch fleet in one fell swoop!" [

Chu Tianlei, the commander of the practice fleet who had been patrolling the outer seas and was responsible for transportation assistance and transportation on the island, felt a little aggrieved.With a face full of excitement, he asked the guard to fight.

"Hey! Er Leizi! There are too many novices in your subordinates, so I have to help you from the left wing fleet!"

Zhang Xiaohu made a sideways push and asked to participate in this battle.

"My navy's middle army is all equipped with giant ships and cannons, and the sailors are all skilled players. This battle, the Chinese army is also determined to win!"

I don't know when it will start.Hua Mei already regarded herself as a member of the Navy's Chinese army.Presumably this has something to do with her living in the navy's fleet every day.

"If you were the commanders of the Dutch fleet, how would you fight this battle?"

The guard didn't raise his head, he just looked down at the chart.Looking at the hydrological and tidal routes and other information on it.

"My lord, there are two so-called north and south waterways from Taiwan to Zeelandia. The north waterway is the Luermen where you ordered me to lead the brigantine to smuggle across. At that time, the depth of the sea was one foot, four or five feet, and at low tide, the sea depth was only a few feet. The waterway is curved and narrow, and only two boats can enter and exit. The south waterway is the thoroughfare to and from Zeelandia. .If I were the commander of the Dutch fleet, I would naturally choose to regain control of the southern waterway first, then get in touch with the city, cooperate with the cannons in the city, and attack the garrison in Anping Town with both land and water artillery fire, and then open up communication with the heat. The water and land transportation link of Lanzhe City!"

It seems to Chu Tianlei that he has carried out several operations and analysis on the map in the past month, and he is very clear about every step and action the enemy may take.

Since the news that the army stationed in Luzon used a fast boat to show the Dutch fleet in the waters near Luzon and moved towards Taiwan, Chu Tianlei has been planning how to proceed with this naval battle.

"My lord, it is reported that the Dutch fleet is anchoring at a small island outside Taiwan, called Ryukyu Islet by the natives, trying to establish communication with the city of Zeelandia. In the past few days, there have been small boats going to Zeelandia. Covering the city for smuggling, transporting gunpowder soldiers, etc.!"

Liuqiu Island is located in the southwest of the mouth of Gaoping River, 120 degrees 55 minutes 48 seconds east longitude, [-] degrees [-] minutes [-] seconds north latitude, about eight miles southwest of Donggang Township in Taiwan today, and about eighteen miles south-south west of Kaohsiung City On the sea, it looks like a shoe floating in the Taiwan Strait in the lonely sea. It is the only coral reef island among the fourteen islands near the main island of Taiwan.

Today is July [-]th, Shouhan decided to launch a general attack on the Dutch fleet based on Ryukyu Island on July [-]th!

Outside Taiwan Island, about tens of miles away from Yikun, a small island stands in the sea, and several fishing boats are bobbing up and down under the fiddle of the waves.This is the largest isolated island at the southernmost tip of the Penghu Islands, so it was originally called "Lantau", "Nanyu" or "Nantian Island", and has another name, Widow Island.The reason is that people on this island live by fishing and sailing boats. Every time there is a storm and a shipwreck, there may be a few more widows on the island. Guo Huaiyi has been here for two days. .

"Brother! The fishermen are here to report! The sailors of the Nanzhong Army are fully mobilized! Only the land battalion is left on the island!" [

A subordinate rushed into Guo Huaiyi's temporary place excitedly.

On the surface of the sea, dozens of warships of the Navy of the South China Army passed by for several miles. The huge sails almost covered the sky, and the densely packed masts were not inferior to the forest.The white sails reflected the bright sun, and the solid hull easily rolled over the crests and valleys of the South China Sea, turning into fine wine and broken jade, and there were three layers of guns arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the ship's side, and on the deck of the ship. The huge cannons wrapped in gun coats showed their formidable strength, and the iron-blooded [-]-star battle flag fluttering on the top of the mast against the south wind conveyed a very obvious meaning:

There is only one master and ruler of this land and this ocean!That's us!

In the middle of the fleet, Shi Lang was very excited watching this scene on the support ship sandwiched by several huge ships.Although Zheng Jiajun's naval division is huge, it does not have such a huge ship.And such a huge amount of artillery was concentrated on one ship.

Such a fleet, even if all the ships of the Zheng family's army are on board, it may not be able to get a bargain, right? !Facing the south wind on the sea, Shi Lang thought to himself.

And on the sea less than 1000 miles away from the South China Army Fleet, the Dutch plywood boats are also slowly heading north.Led by the battleship, the ships transporting a large amount of pigs, cattle, rice flour, gunpowder guns are in the middle, and at the end are ships transporting more than [-] soldiers.

At this time, the lookouts on the leading Dutch warships Cochrane and Kedenhof had already spotted the huge fleet in the distance.There was a rapid "chaos" on the deck, and some sailors would report the enemy situation of the enemy fleet to Colonel Kau's flagship Tulip with semaphore.

"Go up! Destroy the enemy!"

The commanders of both sides issued this order in unison.

Taking advantage of the favorable wind, the Dutch fleet filled its sails.Quickly rushed towards the direction of the Nanzhong Army Fleet!

but.There was a moderate distance between the cargo ship and the warship, about two to three thousand meters.

And this gap became the first element to ruin the Dutch fleet.

"Signal! All ships turn!"

Chu Tianlei, who served as the commander of the Thunder God, keenly discovered where the Dutchman's head-turning style of play was hidden.

"My lord's Victory, please follow me to advance from the left. Please command the Three-Headed Tiger to lead the Qilin to advance from the right. Be sure to divide the Dutch fleet in one fell swoop. The rest will be left to the cannon to complete! "

As the commander, Chu Tianlei ordered the captain to send semaphore signals to several main ships.

"This battle is under your command, and you can do whatever you say!" Shou Han sent back a reply from the Victory.

The rest of the ships also raised the flag of obeying orders.

"Little six! You have taken good care of the eldest lady. It is her first naval battle. If she damages a hair, the brothers of the navy will forgive you!"

Zhang Xiaohu's semaphore in reply to Chu Tianlei turned out to be one word: Bitter!

"Attention all ships! The capital ship intersperses to divide the enemy fleet, and the remaining ships destroy the enemy's gunboats. The brig dispatched six ships to monitor the enemy's cargo fleet! Do not attack enemy cargo ships without orders! Those who violate the order, Military law is engaged!"

With a standard full left rudder movement, the huge hull of the Victory plowed a brilliant white wave on the sea. After turning [-] degrees, the huge bow rushed straight towards the line of the Dutch fleet In the past, the densely packed guns on the three-story gun deck were opened at the command of the gunner, and the black muzzles of the fifty heavy guns on both sides were like the hair of Medis.

Almost at the same time, the two huge ships, the Three-Headed Tiger and the Qilin, made a full right rudder movement, rushing into the Dutch fleet from the right.

Under the leadership of four capital ships in two directions, more than [-] large and small gunboats moved in unison like arms and fingers. Nearly a thousand artillery pieces of various types aimed at the Dutch fleet together.Following the command of the fleet commander Chu Tianlei, "Attention all ships, all ships launch!" The captain excitedly waved the red command flag in his hand, ordering the signal soldiers on the mast to be accurate. The captains who received the order on the bridges of each ship loudly issued the order to fire at the same time, and the order was clearly transmitted to the gun deck in the cabin on the bottom floor with a microphone made of high-quality brass. The gunners who were ready ignited the fuse with a match, and the fuse ignited the charge. The passionate gunpowder burned and the rapidly expanding gas moved out of the muzzle roaring. The high temperature of the gun brought The temperature change left traces visible to the naked eye in mid-air, causing sharp and ear-piercing whistling sounds.

The infrasound waves brought by the gun piercing the sky made all the officers and soldiers of the Dutch fleet feel a great sense of fear. As Maru approached, there were bursts of strong vibrations!

The first cannon of the Victory just stirred up a huge water column on the bow of the Tulip, causing the sailors on the ship to wake up quickly, and rushed to their respective battle positions, trying to adjust the sails and move the artillery. The huge enemy ship fought back.

However, when the second and third guns fell, people gradually gave up this idea.The second cannon was a huge 68-pound Cron gun, which directly hit the ship's side of the fleet's flagship, the Tulip. From a moment on, it was doomed to a tragic end.The part of the ship's side close to the waterline cracked a big hole enough for Yaoming to enter and exit freely, and the waves of the South China Sea began to rush into the cabin through this hole.

"Good! Well played!"

On the Qilin, Hua Mei was dressed as a sailor and wore a bright red cloak. The sea breeze blew this cloak sewn by Yan Mei'er herself. It fluctuated and looked really beautiful.

"The whole ship fires!"

Shou Han ordered Hua Mei to participate in this naval battle, which was the result of mutual compromise between the father and daughter.If Shou Han doesn't agree with Hua Mei's participation, then the battleship Qilin cannot be used as the main force of the assault, and he lacks a ship.And if Hua Mei doesn't follow Zhang Xiaohu, a veteran who has been at sea for many years.Also don't have to be on deck.

Rao is so.When Yan Meier and the others found out about Huamei's participation in the naval battle, Yan Meier complained to Shou Han.

Hua Mei right now is like a child who just got a favorite toy and someone told her the most fun way to play with it.The gunners were constantly directed to fire artillery at the Dutch fleet ships on both sides.The intensive artillery fire is like a sickle in the hands of the god of death.Constantly harvesting fragile lives.

The gunners will be blocked by dense rope nets after firing.The gun barrel, which had eliminated the recoil, quickly reset, and someone dipped a long wool brush with vegetable oil to clean up the remaining gunpowder and sparks in the gun bore.Insert the "powder" package wrapped in silk from the muzzle, use the rod to pack the "powder" to the bottom of the barrel, and then send the heavy cannon into the barrel and combine it with the "powder" package, "Filling is complete!"

"fire!"

Just 2 minutes later, there was another round of artillery fire.

Soon, under the intensive attack of two hundred artillery pieces from four giant ships, ten Dutch warships were divided into two parts and lost contact with the cargo ships behind them. A cargo ship, they have regarded these cargo ships as their own.The navy of the South China Army firmly controlled the situation of the naval battle.

"Signal! Let the Qilin get out of the shooting position! Let the boys in the back and the dozen or so brigs have a good time!" Zhang Xiaohu on the Three-Headed Tiger looked at the front The figure of the ship, which was cheering and fighting, constantly going back and forth between the Dutch fleet, couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

There was a burst of sharp and piercing copper horns, and several signal soldiers on the top of the mast kept waving the signal flags in their hands. Hua Mei on the Qilin had to get out of the shooting position angrily.As soon as her hull left, the ripples on the sea surface hadn't had time to disappear, and several Gale Ships rushed forward to seize the position.

The overwhelming artillery fire instantly enveloped the Dutch fleet. Steel and gunpowder, mixed with blood, became the main theme of the Ryukyu Island sea at this moment.Countless Dutch people found sadly that the scene of judgment of the last days described several times in the Bible appeared before their eyes...

The two leading battleships, the Cochrane and the Kedenhof, saw that several of their own ships were rapidly turning into pieces of wood, and a few of them had raised white flags. The rest of the ships either It was burning, or it was trying to fight back under the siege of the Ming Dynasty Navy.Miscellaneous things floated on the surface of the sea, and the sea in a radius of tens of miles was in a mess, and many people were struggling to survive while floating up and down with broken pieces of wood.

The captains of the two battleships came up with an idea at the same time. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Nanzhong Army sailors adjusted their formation, they took advantage of the opportunity and headed straight for the warship whose prow was cast with gold and silver to look like a ferocious beast. , Judging from his performance, this ship should be similar to a flagship!

"Paste it! Shoot him at close range!"

"Sailors, get ready to join the gang!"

The captain kept yelling loudly on the bridge. They were going to use this tactic to save the situation, at least, to buy themselves some time.

"Damn it! Good time!" On the Three-Headed Tiger, how could Zhang Xiaohu, a veteran at sea, fail to notice what the two guys in front of him were thinking?

"Attention all guns! Brothers on the first deck, exchange Lao Tzu for the scorpion! Let's greet the guests with scorpions! Brothers on the second floor, aim at the waterline of the red Maoyi! Add the medicine bag!"

With the "medicine" package added, the lethality of the artillery will naturally increase, but the damage to the artillery itself will also be much greater, but these are all ignored now!Destroying the enemy comes first!

The Cochrane of the Netherlands charged straight at the Three-Headed Tiger, and at the moment when the two ships were about to collide, both sides made evasive movements to the left in unison, and the two ships almost brushed against each other's sides. past!

The two sides are waiting for such an opportunity.

"fire!"

"fire!"

The gunners on both sides roared wildly in different languages.

The cannons staggered back and forth in mid-air, so densely packed that they could almost hit each other head-on!

And the sailors on the Cochrane, armed with swords, guns, and hatchets, gathered on the deck, waiting for the order to jump into battle after a round of artillery bombardment.However, in the face of the gunfire on the first gun deck of the Three-Headed Tiger, they will never have such a chance!

The twelve-pound guns on the first gun deck were loaded with cannonballs, which were slightly larger than peanuts, wrapped with fine hemp rope, and stuffed tightly into the gun bore.With the help of gunpowder gas, these iron peanuts flew out of the gun bore, penetrated the deck of the Dutch plywood ship, and rushed into the arms of the Dutch sailors with enthusiasm and hope. !

Poor coachmen on the sea, where have you ever practiced the [-]th Taibao's horizontal training, the iron cloth shirt covered with a golden bell, and other boy skills?Under the intensive attack of graupel, the entire deck became a bloody mess, and the feet were slippery, not sea water, but blood.

The gunfire from the Dutch ship also bombarded the Three-Headed Tiger, and the ships on both sides were filled with flesh and blood flying around with wooden fragments sandwiched between them. Once people were hit by these wooden fragments, they fell to the ground in an instant.

"Damn! Give me a hard bang!"

The gunners on the Three-Headed Tiger increased the dose of guns, and the sound became more and more shocking. The gunners were so excited by the huge sound on the gun emplacements that some people simply took off their jackets , directly shirtless.

Like thunder when a storm is approaching, the sound of artillery from both sides reached the ears of Guo Huaiyi who was watching the battle dozens of miles away, even though the distance was far away, the huge sound made Guo Huaiyi shudder.

"My lord! The Dutch ship has hoisted the white flag!"

One of Zhang Xiaohu's personal soldiers pointed at the Cochrane on the opposite side. Several rounds of bombardment regardless of cost caused it to suffer heavy casualties. The captain was directly nailed into the head by a piece of wood flying from nowhere. Spray all over the bridge.

The first officer and sailors were terrified by the huge casualties. Seeing that the captain was killed in action, several people discussed after a little discussion behind the mast, then raised the white flag and lowered the mainsail.

The surrender of the Cochrane became the source of the infectious disease, and several Dutch ships around it lowered their sails and raised their white flags.

The Kedenhof, however, was not so lucky.

It was stared at by Li Huamei on the Qilin!

Facts have proved that the consequences of being watched by Li Huamei are very serious, and the situation is very bad!

"Want to surrender? There is no door!" (To be continued...)
