Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sea power will be determined in one battle!

    Taiwan is the Taiwan of the Ming Dynasty; the sea is the sea of ??the Ming Dynasty!

    The balance of victory is rapidly tilting towards the Tiger Guards.  The sudden appearance of large groups of pirates gave the chaotic combined fleet a taste of failure.

    On the "Tulip", the warship has been piled with corpses, and the deck has been washed red with blood.

    In the eyes of the Dutch, that "dragon tooth" is a magic knife from hell. The misery of those who died under this knife cannot be described in words.

    If you want to kill, you must scare the other person!  If you want to kill, you must kill the other party so that they will never dare to face you again!

    This is Ding Yunyi¡¯s only idea.

    His body was also covered with injuries, but he was used to enduring the pain.  He is a human being, not a god. He will be injured and bleed, but this is not important. When a person is accustomed to being injured and bleeding, the inner pain tolerance has already exceeded the pain of the body.

    Duan Saner¡¯s loyal guard was on his side, and his body was also covered with wounds and blood.  There were several times when he almost gave up, but when he saw the adults like this, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

    Sometimes it¡¯s like this, a person¡¯s spirit and willpower can often drive the people around him.

    Duan San'er is not a brave person and never has been.  He was afraid of pain and death, but since he followed Ding Yunyi, even he himself didn't notice that he had quietly changed.

    He began to understand that if you are afraid of death on the battlefield, death will be with you.  But if you don't care about life at all.  Death will have nothing to do with you.

    "Ye Dahai, Duan San'er, those are the commanders of Hongyi!"

    Ding Yunyi suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering roar.

    On the upper deck, a young Hongyi officer wearing a well-made military uniform was guarded by several sailors, watching the battle on his ship in confusion.

    His uniform, his sword.  The telescope in his hand had betrayed his identity very well.

    The muskets held by the Hongyi sailors were the only threat.

    "dash forward!"

    With Ding Yunyi¡¯s roar.  Several Ming soldiers rushed forward regardless of life and death.

    The musket in Hongyi's hand rang out.

    The sailors fell into a pool of blood.  But after the musket was fired, it became a fire stick.

    Ding Yunyi, Ye Dahai, Duan Saner, and Zheng Zhifeng rushed forward at the same time.  The sword in his hand was swung away, and the sky was filled with blood.

    "kill!"

    This is Ding Yunyi¡¯s roar!  His dragon teeth.  Waving it left and right, blood danced like rain.

    Luo Adadan was completely stupid.

    When he was twenty years old, he was praised as a rare naval genius in the Netherlands. This title also won him countless honors.  Those ladies and beautiful girls favored him one after another, and they were all honored to invite him to the banquet.  And this undoubtedly increased his confidence.

    He can play three musical instruments, speak two languages, dance beautifully, and sing beautiful songs.  But all this is of no use on the battlefield.  The battlefield is a real bloody killing, and musical instruments cannot bring him victory.  Eight languages ??cannot prevent death from happening. Singing and dancing seem so ridiculous here.

    He can talk endlessly about the advantages and disadvantages of each naval battle tactic, the model of each cannon and the weight of the shells used, and he can also clearly tell others the range of a matchlock gun.  But on the real battlefield.  No amount of endless naval battle tactics can withstand such an unreasonable attack from the opponent.

    When he saw the group of Ming Dynasty people rushing forward ferociously, Aida Dan drew out his sword in a panic.  That kind of sword is thin and long, and its decorative effect is stronger than its actual combat effect.

    The guards protecting him were all dead.

    terrible!  It was really terrible for these Ming Dynasty people to kill people.

    Ding Yunyi also saw his opponent: Luo Aidan, the commander-in-chief of the four-nation combined fleet.

    He was wondering why the Dutch would send this man to command the fleet, and when he saw the other man had one hand on his waist and the other hand raised his sword.  After assuming a duel stance, Ding Yunyi couldn't help but laugh.

    He waved to Aida Dan, who jumped up and down, raised his sword and stabbed Ding Yunyi.

    Ding Yunyi stepped aside, turned the dragon's tooth over, and hit Aida Dan on the wrist with a heavy blow with the back of the knife.

    Adadan let out a painful wail, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.  Before he could react, the cold blade of a knife was already aimed at him.his neck.

    Adadan made a subconscious move, but it was also a move that would bring shame to him for the rest of his life:

    He raised his hand!

    Ding Yunyi smiled even more happily.

    Zheng Zhifeng knew some simple Hongyi language, and he told the Hongyi commander who looked frightened and was shaking with his hands raised: "Raise the white flag."

    Although Zheng Zhifeng¡¯s Hongyi words were a bit vague, Aidadan still heard them clearly.

    The battle on the "Tulip" suddenly stopped. After a while, a white flag slowly rose on the flagship of the combined fleet.

    The white flag was raised, and some warships stopped fighting, but some still did not give up.

    Many officers know what it will mean once they surrender. Not only will they not be able to obtain Taiwan, but the series of changes that will follow are the most terrifying.

    The Spanish, Portuguese, and even the British are all eyeing the Dutch power in the east.  Can the Dutch fleet, which suffered a disastrous defeat, withstand the counterattack of these countries?

    Even if it fails, we must bring the battleship back to Batavia as much as possible.

    Idadan should be grateful to these dedicated captains, the East India Company should be grateful, and the Netherlands should also be grateful.  Without their hard work, and if everyone was like Aidaan, the situation in the Netherlands would become precarious.

    Those Dutch warships that were unwilling to surrender began to work hard to evacuate the battlefield, while those warships that chose to surrender like the flagship were like a big fish with its backbone removed, moored motionless on the sea.

    There is still the possibility of the Dutch fleet retreating.  But the Portuguese fleet had to face disaster.

    Terrible attack!

    Those Ming Dynasty ships launched endless rounds of attacks, and the shells fell endlessly on the warships, destroying the Portuguese warships to their heart's content.

    The flames continued, and one battleship after another caught fire

    This was a nightmare battle, a horrific scene that the Portuguese and their commander Delson will never forget in their lifetime.

    The honor of the Malacca fleet, the honor of the Portuguese.  will be destroyed in this terrible naval battle.  When can it be restored?  Only God knows.

    The wind direction at sea has changed!  The wind from the southwest turned to the northeast!

    ??Assault downwind!

    Even God has begun to favor the brave and fearless Huben Guard Navy!

    The Portuguese fleet that caught fire suffered a great disaster.  The fire takes advantage of the wind, the wind assists the fire, and the small fire becomes a big fire.  The fire turned into an irreversible disaster!

    A battleship began to sink with a fire that could not be extinguished, while the battleships nearby were too busy to take care of themselves and could only watch it all happen.

    It can¡¯t be saved!

    Delson watched helplessly as his fleet suffered this terrible ordeal.  He watched helplessly as the Dutch warships scrambled to escape, but his own fleet had nowhere to run.

    "Mr. Commander, it's over The assistant's words left Delson stunned. He looked at everything in front of him in a daze, not knowing what to do.

    Surrender?

    Honor, prideeverything will be lostwon't you surrender?  Continue fighting?  There is no possibility of victory anymore Mr. Commander, a decision must be made.  "

    The urging from his subordinates brought Delson back to his senses, and he let out a long sigh: "Order those intact ships to do everything possible to evacuate the battlefield. Ships that cannot continue fighting are allowed to fly white flags. As for me He tidied himself up.  Military uniform: "I will fulfill an officer's last duty!  "

    His flagship "Liberty" has been damaged in many places.  The sailors suffered heavy casualties, but Delson had made a decision and would never give up the honor of a Portuguese officer!

    For Portugal, fight to the end!

    The three Tiger Guard warships bit the "Liberty" that was stubbornly resisting, and shells were fired at the warship overwhelmingly.  But the "Liberty" was under Delson's command.  He struggled to resist in a disadvantageous situation without any intention of surrender.

    Cai Jiuzhou was a little angry. Just when he was about to issue an order to give the "Freedom" a fatal blow, the sailor holding a telescope in the observation fight suddenly shouted:

    "Main ship's semaphore, capture the Liberty, do not sink it. Do not sink it!"

    Cai Jiuzhou was startled for a moment, wasn't he looking for trouble for himself?

    "Damn it, pick up the ship and capture the Liberty, let me bring it to their captain!" Cai Jiuzhou said bitterly.

    ?Three warships surrounded the "Liberty", and the "Liberty" could no longer stop the enemy from boarding the ship.  A large number of Huben Guard sailors jumped on the Portuguese flagship.

    The battle was completely one-sided, and the sailors of the "Liberty" who suffered heavy casualties were completely unable to stop the enemy's attack.

    Delson, who was holding his sword, kept shouting and waving the weapon, thrusting out the sword one after another with all his strength.  Even if he died, he must let the enemy know the bravery of a Portuguese officer.

    But when it comes to using swords, there is a huge gap between him and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    When Delson's sword fell to the ground and his neck was covered with swords, Delson sighed and closed his eyes in despair

    It¡¯s over, everything is over here It¡¯s the same as the current battlefield

    The large number of pirates participating in the war will have a huge impact on both sides who have been exhausted.  The pirate ships that appeared everywhere now became the decisive force in determining the final direction of the battle.

    After receiving the order, they intercepted the enemy ships trying to escape while salvaging the enemy sailors shouting for help from the sea.

    The most courageous among them is the one who suddenly got a new ship.

    This pirate, who no one had ever thought highly of before, was extremely grateful to Ding Yunyi in his heart. Even if he had to die for the alliance leader at this moment, he would still be willing to do so.

    Without an alliance leader, I am just a "pirate" that no one looks down on. Without an alliance leader, I am not qualified to participate in a naval battle of this scale.

    Your ship belongs to the alliance leader, and your life also belongs to the alliance leader.

    The Cangshan ship and the net shuttle ship under his command desperately entangled a Hongyi warship that was trying to escape. This pirate actually started a gunfire exchange with the professional soldiers.

    The rockets and fire bricks on the ship fell on the enemy ship one after another. Amidst the fire, the waves roared and shouted loudly. He wanted to capture the enemy ship alive and give it to the alliance leader to repay the alliance leader's kindness to him.  !

    He did it too.

    The enemy ship, whose momentum was completely exhausted, after a brief resistance, raised the white flag like the "Tulip"

    There is no need to continue fighting. For the combined fleet, their mission has been completed.

    Some battleships successfully escaped, some sank, and some surrendered

    Suddenly, everything on the sea became quiet and quiet, as if nothing happened just now

    The sailors and pirates of Huben Guards haven¡¯t reacted yet, what¡¯s going on?  What about fighting?  What about the sound of artillery?

    Standing on the "Tulip", Duan Saner and Ye Dahai glanced at each other.  finished?  Is the battle really over?  Have you really won?

    Ding Yunyi slowly raised the dragon tooth in his hand. At this time, all the brothers reactedLong live!  Long live!  !  Long live!  !  !  "

    That earth-shattering cry resounded throughout the entire sea.

    Victory, the Huben Guard Navy, under the command of Ding Yunyi, in this naval battle that determined the ownership of sea power:

    Great victory!

    This is not only repelling the invasion of the four-nation joint fleet, but more importantly, Taiwan will not have to face threats from the West for a long time in the future.

    On April 18, the ninth year of Chongzhen reign in the Ming Dynasty, the Huben Guard Navy and the four-nation combined fleet fought in the waters of Taiwan.  In this naval battle, Ding Yunyi used a series of tactics to induce the Spanish fleet not to participate in the battle. Then, regardless of the danger, he personally commanded the warships headed by the "Huwei" to attract the enemy's firepower.

    After the sudden appearance of the main force of the Huben Guard Navy, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically!

    The British fleet was defeated first, and then under the joint attack of the Clipper Dead Soldiers and the Tiger Guards main fleet, the Portuguese fleet fell into chaos.

    Then, all the pirate alliances participated in the war, which ultimately determined the direction of the naval battle.

    In this battle, Hubenwei lost ten large and medium-sized ships and forty-seven small ships.  The four-nation combined fleet was sunk by 13 large and small warships, and as many as 33 ships of various types surrendered or captured.  It was difficult to keep a clear count of the sailors who were killed and captured.

    Great victory in Taiwan naval battle!

    Just when cheers resounded on the sea, Wang Wei¡¯s head emerged from the water. This warrior who used fire ships to accomplish great feats could not help but curse:

    ¡°Damn it, who¡¯s going to help me!¡± (To be continued)
