Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The power displayed by the Spanish made the Dutch fleet commander Waite's face look even uglier.  When he saw Zheng Zhilong making some moves, his heart dropped to his stomach.  Fifty servant warships and thirteen Spanish warships. Compared with them, the Dutch's combat power is weaker.  If you include the Spanish warships that were just sunk, the Spaniards have a total of sixteen warships deployed here.  At this time, Waite was very angry and wanted to throw all those who were engaged in intelligence off the boat and feed them to the sharks.  If I had known that the Spanish were so powerful, how could I have rushed over with such a small number of people?  This is a Spanish conspiracy!  Waite determined this immediately. The Spaniards did not attack Penghu because they probably wanted to lure him here.  Although Werther was an outstanding commander, he guessed wrong about this matter.  The reason why the Spaniards did not attack Penghu was not because of other reasons, but because of lack of strength.  You must know that it was not only the Dutch who expelled the Spanish, but also the Ming people in the Taiwan Strait, in which Zheng Zhilong played an irreplaceable role.  When they came back here this time, the Spaniards knew that Zheng Zhilong was strong, but they didn¡¯t feel confident.  This is also the reason why they came forward to unite with Ming Dynasty, and they also need support.  At this time, the Ming Dynasty's ship delivering the news had not yet arrived, and the Dutch had already appeared here.  Radeva stood on his flagship, his face gloomy and terrifying. The three patrol ships had just been sunk, and Radeva's hands were tightly clenched into fists.  Glancing at the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong's coalition forces rushing over, Radeva loudly ordered: "Set up a battle formation, cooperate with the forts on the island, and sink as many enemy warships as possible." Comparison  The artillery equipped on the warship and the artillery on the fort are both powerful and range-wise.  That's much bigger.  For a moment, there was the sound of gunfire, and the sea water was splashed high, and then fell back to the sea.  Gun smoke filled the sea, and the entire sea was white.  Waite's face was still gloomy, and he continued to direct the battleship to change directions.  Avoiding the artillery fire of the Spanish fleet, while 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 are all large-caliber heavy artillery. They have a long range and are powerful. We are at a huge disadvantage!" Brian came to Waite's side.  Looking at Waite anxiously, he said loudly.  Glancing at Brian, Waite nodded slowly. This time Brian was absolutely right.  If the fight continues like this, the consequences will be disastrous.  Glancing at Zheng Zhilong's fleet not far away, Witte said to Brian: "Send a signal to Zheng Zhilong. Tell his people to ignore the warships on the sea. These warships are controlled by us. Let his people quickly attack the beach.  , Capture the Spanish fort as soon as possible. "For Waite, this is the best way!  For this kind of island landing operation, Zheng Zhilong's people are more experienced than his own people.  Their warships were small, fast, and maneuverable.  Not easily sunk.  What's more, the boat operators are very skilled, so landing on the island is the best option.  "Brother, the Dutch are signaling again, let's land on the island!" Zheng Zhibao had already held the sword in his hand, his hands trembling with excitement.  He looked at Zheng Zhilong with excitement in his eyes, waiting for his eldest brother to give the order, the order that he had been looking forward to for a long time.  Zheng Zhilong nodded and said with a serious face: "We can no longer tolerate half-heartedness at this time. The situation on your second brother's side is not very good either. We must go ashore as soon as possible!" "Yes. Big brother!" Zheng Zhibao was excited.  Licking his lips, he turned back to greet everyone and prepared to storm the island.  The alliance between the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong soon changed. Waite led his fleet in a fierce battle with the Spanish, while Zheng Zhibao was strangled with the Spanish's servant warships.  The two sides engaged in an artillery battle.  It has evolved into a gang fight.  With his knife in his mouth, Zheng Zhibao ordered his warship to hit a Spanish servant warship hard.  Countless men jumped over suddenly, holding the rope in their hands with unusual skill.  As soon as his body hit the ground, the knife in his hand was already slashing like someone on a battleship. Zheng Zhihu was shouting loudly while fighting desperately.  Zheng Zhilong did not dare to slack off at this time, and rushed towards the Spanish fleet with his flagship.  They dodged Dutch artillery fire along the way, and did not fight back even if they were bombarded. They had only one goal, which was to land on the island.  The fifty warships quickly dispersed and rushed towards the opposite side.  The naval battle is still going on. On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, the Ming Dynasty's navy did not use the Dutch's offensive method.  Instead, choose a method that is very useful, but not simple.  A huge ship passed through the port of Penghu, and the waterline was very tight.?At first glance, there are countless goods loaded on it.  On one side of the ship, four escort ships protected the ship.  This scene was seen by the Dutch in Penghu, and the rest fell into place.  How could the Dutch let such a ship go? Whether it was collecting protection fees or robbing, this was a very good choice.  However, they paid the wrong attention, 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 moved forward slowly.  Farley was tasting wine at this time. Although he liked wine very much, this kind of wine from the Ming Dynasty was also his favorite.  Gently shaking his wine glass, Farley had an expression of enjoyment on his face.  "Your Excellency, Commander Farley, something happened!" A soldier under his command came in with a bit of urgency on his face. He saluted Farley and then said.  "Captain, please pay attention to your attitude. Urgency is not a quality you should have. Here, we Dutch have the greatest advantage. What can make you so fussy?" Farley had a touch of dissatisfaction on his face.  Yue, Farley never has a good face towards people who interrupt his wine tasting.  The team leader calmed down his emotions, and seeing that Farley's face looked better, he said: "Commander, there is a large cargo ship passing through our waters. Our people went up to check, and they sank the front  "Is there such a thing? Are you sure where the merchant ship came from?" "How big is the merchant ship?"  His expression remained unchanged. In his opinion, this was not a big deal. Compared to the sinking of the warship, Farley was more interested in the huge cargo ship.  "Your Excellency, Commander, that cargo ship is very huge and is guarded by four warships. I heard that the Spaniards have sent people to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, and now I'm afraid it's time to come back." After saying this, the team leader said  No more words, I can't get too involved.  This is enough. After receiving the benefits, the commander will not forget himself.  If there are any mistakes, the responsibility cannot be placed on myself.  Farley stood up, adjusted his clothes, and then said: "Get the warships ready. This commander is going to bring this merchant ship back for questioning, regardless of whether they are Spanish or not. This is our territory.  , There are still people who dare to act wild here. "Although the captain was slandering in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face. He still said respectfully: "Yes, your Excellency, Commander." Off the coast of Penghu, the Ming Dynasty's warships were cruising.  , Zhang Yukun stood at the bow of the boat, looking calm and calm.  Beside him was a middle-aged man, wearing a long coat of coarse cloth, dressed as a businessman.  This person is none other than Xu Xinsu.  "Xu Xinsu, you know the importance of this matter. If your plan doesn't work, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish." Yu Zigao looked at Xu Xinsu and said with a hint of threat on his face.  Originally, his uncle had already formulated a battle plan, but unexpectedly Xu Xinsu 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 when I was young. I know these Dutch people very well. They will never let go of such an opportunity. What's more, if we sink their warship, they will definitely not give up. These years  The Dutch are operating in Penghu, and I'm afraid they have set up many forts along the coast. If we launch a strong attack, I'm afraid there will be great losses!" Xu Xinsu is now dedicated to serving the court. At first, it was to save the lives of the whole family, but now  It¡¯s already about fighting for a future.  ¡°I used to be a maritime merchant, and I was protected by Li Dan at sea. Now that Li Dan is gone, I need a new backer, and now I have found one.  "Okay, I'm in charge of this matter. Don't get angry at him. If you have anything to say to me, just ask if you don't understand. There's no need for this!" Zhang Yukun seemed to be unable to stand it anymore and glared at Yu Zigao.  , said in a deep voice.  "Uncle, I'm afraid of disturbing the situation, but it won't have the unexpected effect." Yu Zigao looked at Zhang Yukun. Although his face was a little red, he still expressed his thoughts.  Zhang Yukun shook his head with a smile and explained: "That's not what you said. We don't know the situation on the opposite side now, we don't know the combat effectiveness of our army, and we don't know the combat effectiveness of the Dutch either. We must be careful in everything,  Step by step, our navy can only take shape after several battles. We can't make any mistakes before it is formed, otherwise we will be sinners!" "Yes, Uncle Master!" Yu Zigao nodded, he also thought what Zhang Yukun said.  It made sense, so he didn¡¯t say anything more, but turned his gaze to the sea, waiting.Come out with the Dutchman.
