    For Farley, there was no suspense in this attack. It was just a robbery. He had done many such things.  No matter what the situation is on the other side, these ten warships can face it.  Seeing the Dutch warships through the telescope, Hua Yingchun burst out laughing, his face filled with unconcealable joy.  As a person who lured the enemy, Hua Yingchun did not want to get caught up with him. After confirming that the Dutch had seen him, he ordered everyone: "Brothers, hurry up! The sea is not on land. The ship sank.  None of us can survive, let¡¯s go!¡± No longer limiting the speed, the warship moved towards the brigade at full speed to lure the Dutch out, and his mission was completed.  Standing on the bow of the battleship, a confused look flashed across Farley's face. This was not a battleship he had seen before.  Whether it is the Spanish, the Portuguese, or the British as a pirate, their warships are not like this.  Reaching out to greet someone, Farley said in a deep voice: "Come and see, where does this warship come from?" This man is Felin, who was left by Penghu Commander Waite to Farley. He is very concerned about the Taiwan Strait.  He is familiar with it, but it is most appropriate for him to confirm it.  After taking the telescope handed over by Farley, Feilin did not dare to delay at all. He quickly raised it and looked at it, and his brows also wrinkled.  He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is the first time I have seen such a battleship. It is different from previous battleships. However, judging from the style of the ship, it should be a battleship from the Ming Dynasty.  "Da Mingguo?" Farley looked at Feilin in surprise. Did he think that Feilin had made a mistake?  When did the Ming Dynasty have such a big warship?  Although the appearance of these battleships is different from our own, they are larger than our own battleships. How could they be from the Ming Dynasty.  Waving his hand, he motioned for Filmin to go down. For Farley, he would know whose battleship it was after a moment.  He glanced at the messenger next to him.  He said with a serious face: "Go at full speed, wait and don't sink all the opponent's warships, there are all good things on them." When they saw the flag hanging high on the enemy warship, everyone had a smile on their faces.  , Yu Zigao patted Xu Xinsu's shoulder, laughed and said: "Not bad. It's really good. I'll give you a credit." After saying that, he turned his eyes to Zhang Yukun aside and asked respectfully: "Uncle Master,  Please arrange what to do next." "The flags have been displayed on the enemy fleet. There are only ten Dutch warships. Naturally, the fleet will use a semicircular attack formation to bully the few.  The people and the fleet gathered around and surrounded them. We can't let them escape!" Zhang Yukun said loudly with a happy face.  The clear order was quickly passed down, and the fleet changed its formation quickly as in the drill, and surrounded them towards the front.  "Your Excellency, Commander, there is an ambush, and we have been fooled!" Feilin's face suddenly changed when he saw this scene, and he said to Farley on the side.  There is no need for film to tell me.  Farley also saw it, his face was gloomy and scary.  I didn't expect that I would be fooled like this.  After thinking for a while, he said: "We can't stop or turn around. The fleet is moving forward at full speed now. If we turn around, we will be surrounded. Order the fleet to move forward at full speed and prepare to rush over!" Although he was not familiar with the fleet on the opposite side, Farley was still very cautious.  of confidence.  Your own fleet will definitely be able to rush out from the front.  "Felin, do you think this is the fleet of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it Zheng Zhilong's?" Farley still didn't believe that this was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty had been in decline for so many years, and its maritime power was long gone.  There are about sixty warships on the opposite side, such a huge fleet.  This is not what the Ming Dynasty should have.  Feilin¡¯s face began to sweat. After the order was passed on, he always felt unstable.  Hearing Farley's question, he quickly shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Commander, this is not Zheng Zhilong's fleet. Although he has such a number of warships, they are not so big. I can confirm that these are the warships of the Ming Dynasty.  They are here to attack Penghu!" "Attacking Penghu? Why?" Although Farley knew that Penghu was the territory of the Dutch, he didn't know how it came about.  "This Penghu was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but we occupied it after we came here. The Ming Dynasty has been asking us to withdraw from Penghu, but Commander Waite has never taken this seriously. After all, the Ming Dynasty does not have the strength to seize Penghu by force.  . But starting from this year, the Ming Dynasty has a very tough attitude. It has issued an ultimatum years ago. If we can't withdraw, then the Ming Dynasty will take back by force!" Feilin's face became even more ugly. It was obvious that the Ming Dynasty was in danger.  Already prepared.  Fa Lei nodded slowly. He didn't have time to think too much about this. Seeing that both sides were surrounded by the navy of the Ming Dynasty, he gave the order: "Fire the cannon and try the shooting of the Ming army warships."?!  "Although the Ming army has a very large number of warships, Farley does not believe that the Ming army's artillery can have a far range. If their artillery range is not as far as his own, he is confident that all these Ming army fleets can be annihilated here. Side  The cannon's baffle had already been lowered, and the gun's fuse made a burning sound. With a loud noise, a shell flew towards the Ming warship on the right. The shell fell into the water and splashed immediately.  The water column several feet high fell back into the sea. Qi Jin suddenly laughed when he saw this scene. He was very familiar with firearms. This was obviously a test by the Dutch.  With the shells falling into the water outside, Qi Jin knew that these two miles were the key to victory or defeat. "Send a signal to the left wing army and keep this distance from the Dutch. All side cannons should be fired to send these Dutch people down."  Feed the fish.  In addition, let the warship responsible for outflanking speed up and seal the hole for me!  "Qi Jin looked back at the messenger and said with a smile. "Yes, general!  "The ordering soldier replied quickly, not daring to hesitate at all. The order was quickly passed on. The Ming army on the right wing where Qi Jin was located all lowered the baffles of the sideguns, and the twenty cannons of each warship revealed black holes.  Qi Jin pulled out his sword from the muzzle of the cannon, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Fire!"  "Suddenly, artillery fire was fired, and countless shells flew towards the Dutch fleet with white smoke. More than twenty shells fell into a Dutch warship. The warship was dismembered in an instant, and wooden planks were floating on the sea.  As well as the torn apart corpses. Many shells fell into the water, splashing countless waves, and the Dutch warships began to rock from side to side. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, their artillery has a farther range than ours. Think about it."  What a way!  "Feilin finally settled on the ominous omen in his heart. It was indeed true. It was true. Farley was also stunned. He didn't expect that the artillery of these fleets of the Ming Dynasty was actually stronger than what he had set up here.  Far away. After wiping the sea water that splashed on his face, Farley said loudly: "Give the order, rush out of the encirclement at full speed, move the fleet closer to both sides, bring Ming's fleet into range, and use the side cannon to counterattack!  " This order was not passed down slowly, but the speed of the shells was faster. After two rounds of shelling, the Dutch fleet had lost five warships. This was still nearly eight layers of Ming army's shells that fell into the water, but two layers  The shells were enough for Farley to drink a pot. The remaining five warships were also wounded. Farley's flagship also received two cannonballs. Fortunately, they were all on the deck because of the addition of iron plates.  A series of big holes were blown out, but they were not penetrated. Farley kept telling himself that he must escape, not because he was greedy for life, but because he must pass on the news. He must pass it on.  Standing on the bow of the warship, Yu Zigao turned to Zhang Yukun with a smile on his face and said: "Uncle Master, this battle seems to be like this. The Spaniards always say that the Dutch fleet is powerful. Now,  It seems to be nothing more than that!  " "General Yu, this is wrong!  Before Zhang Yukun could speak, Nan Juyi on the other side intervened: "General Yu, these Spanish artillery have a very long range and are very powerful."  Although it doesn't have as far a range as our navy's artillery, it's much stronger than the Fujian Navy's artillery!  " Having said this, Nan Juyi sighed helplessly, and then said: "I have seen the Dutch warships a long time ago. It is really not something that the Fujian Navy can defeat, otherwise I would not use other methods.  The emperor has foresight and established such a large navy. It is really a blessing for our Ming Dynasty!  " After hearing what Nan Juren said, everyone around him nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Yukun said with a smile: "When the emperor came to the throne, he established a firearms factory. Now it seems that he is definitely far-sighted.  Firearms are the sharp weapons of the country, enough to determine the outcome of the war!  " Everyone was talking here. The battlefield was filled with smoke. The Dutch warships were sunk one by one. In the end, only Farley's flagship remained. Although this flagship was hit by many shells,  It has to be said that there is no silence at this time. Looking at the warships rushing toward him in a zigzag pattern, Yu Zigao suddenly smiled. At this time, the artillery on both sides had stopped firing. It was really terrible.  It¡¯s easy to accidentally hurt your own people. ¡°Here comes someone!  Bring up the rocket launcher, this general is going to fire one!  " Yu Zigao likes sharp weapons like rocket launchers very much, even more than artillery. Zhang Yukun on one side smiled helplessly, but did not stop Yu Zigao. He just said to the messenger on the side: "Let the people around  The warships are all preparing rocket launchers. After General Yu launches them, the rest of the fleet will also launch them.  To sink this battleship, we will??It can waste too much time.  "(To be continued)
