Blood from Daming

Chapter 502 Blockage
Gao Wenlu waited for Matty Sunke to vent his anger before saying: "My lord, this huge fleet is not the navy of Fujian and Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty. It should be the fleet from the north of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it can't explain the failure of our trading fleet to Japan. To these Ming Dynasty troops."

Mattisunke said a little confused: "How could there be such a powerful fleet in the north of the Ming Dynasty, even if they were fighting against the barbarians in the north, how could they come to Taiwan, a deserted island, to fight against us Dutch. "

Gao Wenlu was silent for a while and said: "My lord, there may be such a fleet, but it is a fleet of local forces in the Ming Dynasty. The leader of the fleet is the wife of a general of the Ming Dynasty, but that general's wife should not have Such a powerful fleet."

Matty Sunke thought for a while and said: "I remember, the Ming army of the Fujian pirates Yang Liu and Yang Qi in the naval battle in the northern part of Taiwan Island is the fleet of the female general of the Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, the intelligence personnel of the Dutch were running at high speed, and Matty Sunke and Gao Wenlu got more accurate information. The Ming Dynasty army that attacked the castle of Promincia in the Netherlands was led by Yan Sanniang, the wife of Ming Dynasty General Xue Yun. Fleet, and the fleet has the warships of the Dutch ocean-going fleet, it is estimated that there are more than 4 ships, and the army and civilians may reach more than [-].

Matty Sunke's sweat came down again. The wife of the general of the Ming Dynasty led several times as many troops as the Dutch army to attack. Maybe he would repeat the mistakes of the Penghu naval battle. Then there was news that Luermen Port had lost all lines, and The Ming army fleet on the sea in front of them chose another landing place, and the always arrogant and stubborn commander of the fortress, General Lelson, also lost sight of the other.

After many disappointments, Mattisunke set his sights on the Dutch naval fleet in the inland sea of ​​the Hejiang River. This is the pride of the Dutch, and it is also the hope of Mattisunke to defeat the Ming Dynasty fleet. It is only the Dutch fleet and the Ming Dynasty. The fleet has already engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the Dagang waterway.

The initial artillery battle between the Dutch fleet and the Ming fleet annoyed Marty Sunke. The Dutch navy, which had an absolute advantage, was shooting at each other. Instead, it suffered from the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. After several rounds of artillery, the Dutch navy killed and injured many soldiers. This caused the Dutch Navy to evacuate the fleet arrangement and change it to a duel between the main warships of the two armies.

After the four three-masted battleships of the Dutch Navy completed the horizontal hull, they began to attack Xue Jiajun with the artillery in the cabin. There are nearly 60 guns, while the Xue Jiajun Navy has only more than [-] artillery pieces that can effectively fire, which is nearly three times worse than the Dutch Navy artillery. The strengths and weaknesses of the two armies are immediately revealed.

After the four three-masted battleships of the Dutch Navy were hit by several rounds of shelling, the battleships "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" of the Xue family army suffered a lot and were hit by the solid bullets of the Dutch Navy. The two ships caused the death of more than a dozen soldiers. More than 30 people were injured, and the tragedy of the injuries greatly affected the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Xue family army. Although the Dutch warship also suffered losses, it was obviously much lighter than that of the Xue family army's navy.

Xue Yun saw many dead and wounded Xue Jiajun naval gunners in the gun bay, and Xue Yun was very sad. His naval strength was far behind the Dutch, so he didn't know how much his naval losses would be if he continued to fight like this, and he couldn't see any of them. Given the chance of winning, Xue Yun decided to implement the shipwreck plan.

The First Fleet issued an order to sink the ship to the fleet behind. The old ships that had been sacrificed long ago sailed to the central waterway of Dagang in turn according to the command of the fleet. After more than 20 old ships sailed out, there were no follow-up old ships. The boat sailed out, and after repeated urging by Wu Dahai, more than 30 other old boats slowly sailed out.

The battleships "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" of the Xue family army are still head-to-head with the four three-masted warships of the Dutch Navy, and the ships that are about to sink are still moving slowly. The first batch consisted of [-] relatively old sea-going ships. The owners and crews on the sea-going ships were still not very cooperative in the implementation. Although Xue Yun understood the feelings of these people, he was still very angry at these people for delaying the battle.

When Xue Jiajun's sunken ship sailed to the predetermined position, the Dutch Navy discovered this situation and began to shoot at these sunken ships, which made the pressure on the two warships "Changjiang" and "Huanghe" much less, but "Changjiang" and "Huanghe" Battleships and other warships continued to shell heavily on the Dutch Navy to cover the wreck.

After the hard work of the Xue Family Navy and the Manchurian Canadian Shipwreck Fleet, it took more than an hour to complete the task of urgently blocking the Dagang Channel. Accomplished the intended target, leaving some gaps to plug the weakness.

With the blockage of the Dagang channel, the Dutch navy was like a deflated ball, but it slowly retreated to the inner sea of ​​the river; the Xue Jiajun navy also rushed to search and rescue the crew members who fell into the water because of the sinking ship, and rescued the injured Xue Jiajun naval officers and soldiers. At the same time, the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies were all focused on the battle of the army.

If the Dutch Navy has the upper hand, then it would be an exaggeration to describe the situation of the Dutch Army as bad. First, the isolated island on the right side of Luermen Port missed. More than 60 Dutch soldiers and militants on the island surrendered either dead or killed At this point, the two Frang machine guns in the middle of the waterway of Luermen Port fell into the hands of the Xue family army. In addition to the left bank area and the two Flang machine guns controlled by the Xue family army earlier, the entire Luermen Port was completely controlled by the Xue family army.

After Xue's army landed at the southern end of Promincia Castle, they did not attack Promincia Castle. The second uncle continued to extend to the island, forming a semi-encirclement of Promincia Castle, so that the Dutch in Promincia Castle were facing west and south. Facing the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty.The north is the Hejiang Inner Sea, and the only remaining area that is not closed is the east, where you can only escape to the allies of the Siraya tribe, or go to the deep mountains and old forests to mix with the high-mountain Tu tribe in Taiwan Island.

After Xue Yun saw that the battle had calmed down, he went back to his cabin and entered Liya's cabin. He saw Liya lying on the window looking at Promincia Castle. Xue Yun walked behind Liya and hugged her , Liya didn't look back, the second uncle started crying, Xue Yun pushed Liya's body over, only to find that Liya was already in tears.

"Ah..." Xue Yun sighed, and hugged Liya tightly in his arms, and after an unknown amount of time, when Liya's crying became less intense, Xue Yun asked softly, "Have you eaten yet. "

Liya shook her head slightly, and Xue Yun was about to prepare meals for Liya, but Liya held Xue Yun back and said that she didn't want to eat, and then looked at Xue Yun pitifully, Xue Yun was used to being weak The woman's expression was made by a big European girl like Liya, which made Xue Yun feel that Liya was a little sad.

Xue Yun stroked Liya's red hair tenderly. Liya hesitated for a while and said, "Sir, can you kill as few people as possible?"

Xue Yun suddenly heard Liya, a foreign girl, calling him husband-in-law, and couldn't react at all for a moment. Then Xue Yun was overjoyed, and excitedly hugged Liya and kissed her frantically. The tear stains on the face were clean, and Xue Yun's passion almost made Liya faint.

After Xue Yun finished his work, he said: "Honey, as long as the Dutch are willing to withdraw from Taiwan Island, Mr. Wang can be friends with them."

Liya sighed and said, "Sanggong, it's not easy to let my compatriots give up Taiwan Island. I just hope that you will kill less people."

Xue Yun grabbed Liya's hands and asked, "Liya, are you really willing to stay with your husband forever?"

Liya nodded shyly, and Xue Yun looked overjoyed and said, "Liya, I will listen to you in everything. As long as these Dutch people are not too much, I will definitely let them live."

Liya looked at Xue Yun and smiled, Xue Yun took the opportunity to express his love to Liya. When the two were talking, Liu Ben, the vice-governor of the Navy, came to see Xue Yun and told Xue Yun that there was an officer of the Dutch East India Company stationed in Taiwan. Gao Wen, the special envoy of Marty Sunke, sought to see him. Xue Yun looked at Li Ya and said to Liu Ben, "Bring him here."

Xue Yun said to Liya: "If you want to see this Dutchman, you can see it, if you don't, you can just listen in the cabin, okay?"

Liya nodded in agreement, Xue Yun kissed Liya's forehead, went to the outer cabin to sit down, and ordered the soldiers to send some melons and fruits to Liya in the inner cabin. After a while, the Dutch staff officer Gao Wenlu came to Xue Yun with an interpreter. In Yun's cabin, besides the interpreter, Xue Yun also had Liu Ben, the vice-governor of the navy, present.

The Dutch special envoy Gao Wenlu greeted Xue Yun very politely, and the interpreter who came with him said, "Your Excellency, this is Gao Wenli, the special envoy of the Dutch East India Company's chief officer in Taiwan Island, Marty Sunke."

Xue Jiajun's interpreter pointed to Xue Yun and said, "This is General Yan, the naval governor of Xue Jiajun of the Ming Dynasty."

Xue Yun nodded slightly as a gesture of invitation, and Special Envoy Gao Wenlu said through an interpreter: "General Yan, the Netherlands and Ming Dynasty have friendly relations, and our East India Company's stationing in Taiwan Island was also approved by your court. I don't know why General Yan came here. Attack me Promincia."

After hearing this, Xue Yun asked the interpreter to translate: "The Netherlands innocently violated our Ming Penghu Islands, robbed our Ming merchant ships, and killed our Ming people. Heaven is doing the right thing to eliminate harm for the people, and today’s military attack on Promincia Castle is determined to win, you might as well go back and tell Matty Sunke to leave my sacred territory of Ming Dynasty quickly, otherwise you will be responsible for all the consequences in the Netherlands.”
