Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 730 Bloody Quanzhou Bay (Part [-])
With a loud bang, the huge Dutch command ship was hit, its mast broke, its sails caught fire, and the shock wave of the explosion sent several Dutch soldiers flying into the sea.

When the captain Troy and the first officer climbed up from the deck again, the two of them seemed to be coming out of a stove, burning with smoke.The hat also fell off, and the sword and binoculars in his hand were gone.

Since there were no ironclad warships at that time, the most advanced warships were also made of wood, without machine power, and they mainly relied on manpower and wind power to drive them. Therefore, such ships were easy to catch fire when they were hit by cannons. The fire on the ship grew stronger and stronger.

"Quick, put out the fire!"

The Dutch soldiers on board were busy, but in the end they were not busy putting out the fire, because even if the fire was put out, it would still be a wrecked ship.

They hurriedly summoned another ship to approach, and the captain Troy and the first officer transferred to another ship with a few entourages.

In such a short period of time, more than a dozen Dutch warships were sunk and destroyed. The entire Quanzhou Bay was covered in flames, thick smoke billowed, and visibility was relatively low.

The guns were still roaring, and his hundred Dutch warships had lost contact with each other, and many were already in flight.

If Troy sees it, he won't be able to withdraw if he sees it. If this continues, the whole army will be wiped out.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

However, it was too late to retreat at this time.Of the 50 Dutch warships, there are still more than [-] ships that can escape by boat, but the outlet of Quanzhou Bay has been blocked by the two forts on the shore of Hongshan and Chongwu.

It is easy for these Dutch warships to come in but difficult to get out, because the less than 20 miles wide outlets are all within the range of artillery fire on both sides of the strait.

The roar of shells and the roar of explosions can be heard endlessly.

The Dutch warships rushing over, no matter how big or small, were shot and caught fire.Some were blown to pieces on the spot, some had their waists cut in two, and some were overturned.Some were hit and caught fire, and the battleship became a fireship, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The remaining dozens of Dutch warships that lost their unified command rammed like headless flies in Quanzhou Bay with a radius of tens of miles.They became the live targets of the artillery battalion on the shore and the navy of the Ming army. By now, they basically have no ability to fight back. They are just fleeing, but there is no way to escape.

The artillery shells of the Ming army, like a man who has been angry for a long time, poured out all the anger in his heart.

As time went by, one Dutch warship after another was sunk and destroyed one after another.

"rush out!"

Captain Truy's face was black and blue, his beard was a little scorched, and his brand-new military uniform was now in tatters. His former prestige was gone, and he was only left with a distressed look of fleeing for his life.

The first officer beside him is dead, and he is the only one left to command, but now he can only command the ship he is on.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I can't rush out. The exit to the sea has been blocked by the firepower of the Ming army..."

On the surface of the sea not far away, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and flames soared into the sky.There was a mess on the sea, and many Dutch soldiers who hadn't breathed out were still struggling in the water for the last time.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the navy of the Ming army killed us, and we are surrounded!"

When Troy was at a loss what to do, a Dutch soldier yelled.

Troy looked back, through the thick smoke and fire, countless warships of the Ming army were coming, and the closest one was less than 100 meters away from them.

A general on the commanding ship of the Ming army stood at the bow of the ship. This general was covered in armor, and his face in the fireworks showed determination and anger.

This general is He Jinwu, General Shi Lang's general. He Jinwu was originally a general of He Zhaoxiong in Green Willow Villa, and was also the old man's personal bodyguard. Liu Zhaoji, Minister of the Ministry of War, fought against each other.

That was when Liu Zeqing pacified Liu Zeqing, he was passing by Hongze Lake, and was attacked by bandits, Liu Zhaoji was captured, Zhu Yousong rescued Liu Zhaoji, the three of them broke into the thief's cave, and the Green Willow Mountain bet three battles to win or lose.This was the person who fought Liu Zhaoji for the first time.

After he was recruited together with He Zhaoxiong, Zhu Yousong valued him very much and entrusted him with important tasks in the navy. Deputy Commander.

In this sea battle, Zhu Yousong sent He Jinwu to Shi Lang, and now Shi Lang asked him to lead three thousand sailors to lead the vanguard.

He Jinwu is in his 30s this year. He is a very strong-looking man with an axle. He has experienced many battles now, and he is very experienced in commanding operations.

He lined up his fleet in an offensive shape, and with a heavy artillery fire, he sank and destroyed dozens of Dutch warships.After being hit head-on, this arrogant Dutch fleet was in disarray.

The distance between the two sides is now approaching.

"Stop shelling, shoot arrows, and shoot these red-haired thieves!"

Wearing an iron armor and an iron helmet on his head, He Jinwu stood at the bow of the ship with a big knife in his hand, staring angrily at these desperate Dutch colonial invaders, and issued such an order.

The archers on the warships of the Ming army aimed at these Dutch colonial robbers and drew their bows and shot arrows one after another.

The wind of arrows roared, sharp arrows rained through the thick smoke and flames.The Dutch soldiers on board were shot with arrows one after another, throwing their muskets, some fell into the sea, and some were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.

But there are still many unwilling Dutch soldiers fighting back with their guns, making the last struggle.

The gunshots sounded like popping beans, and several archers of the Ming army fell from the bullets.

But soon, countless sharp arrows aimed at the direction of the gunshot, and these Dutch troops will soon become hedgehogs.

50 meters... 30 meters...

The warships of both sides are getting closer and closer.

"kill!"

Several warships of the Ming army and the wrecked Dutch warships approached together. He Jinwu shouted, and Fei Zong took the lead and jumped onto the Dutch warships. Will.

Driven by him, the rest of the Ming army soldiers roared, and rushed to the Dutch warship with their knives and guns, chopping down the Dutch soldiers on board one after another.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of fire, and He Jinwu, who was fighting the enemy bravely, chiseled his arm like a chisel, and blood flowed into him immediately.

"My lord is injured!"

Several soldiers from the Ming army came to bandage him, how could He Jinwu give in?He had seen the Dutch red-haired thief who had shot at him hide in the mast, and raised his gun at him for the second time.

He Jinwu was furious, and flew over. Before the Dutch soldier fired his gun, He Jinwu had already arrived beside him, and he swung his sword into the air, "Go to hell!"

"what--"

The Dutch general was so frightened that he yelled and clicked. The head of the Dutch soldier was split in two, and blood spattered the mast.

"Look, my lord, the red-haired thieves are scared, they have picked up the white flag!"

A soldier of the Ming army pointed to a Dutch warship in front of which the fireworks were scattered, and congratulated Jin Wudao.

A sneer appeared on He Jinwu's slightly dark face, "Hmph, want to surrender? It's too late! Carry out the general's order and sink all of them, leaving no one behind!"

　Today is Saturday, I will add more updates for everyone, I wish you a happy weekend.
