The ship crash

"Fire the gun, fire the gun quickly..."

The Spanish colonel saw the merchant ship suddenly caught fire and rushed towards the joint fleet, and immediately panicked and ordered the firing.

More than a dozen Dutch and Spanish warships fired fire at the fireboat immediately.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Hundreds of naval guns violently bombarded the Ming arson ships, and rushed into the front several arson ships were shot one after another.

The sea was very windy and waves, and the warships kept rising and falling with the waves, and the merchant ships were small in targets, which caused the joint fleet artillery hit rate to be very low.

But after all, there were so many artillery bombardment at the same time, and dozens of shells were bombarded on the arson ship in the end.

Suddenly, the fireboat was hit with wood chips flying and sparks flew everywhere.

However, the Ming merchant ships had sealed cabins, and even if the bows were blown off, they were still rushing forward.

With the fierce shelling of Spanish warships, the arson ships began to slow down, but they still approached the joint fleet.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Combined Fleet's naval guns kept bombarding, and finally rushed in front of them and were sunk.

However, there were still more than twenty arson ships, which quickly approached the Combined Fleet warships by the wind.

While Garcelo was dealing with the Ming arson ship, Colonel Dutland directed their warships to desperately approach the right wing of the Ming fleet.

Cruise was determined to capture the Ming Dynasty's iron armored warship.

"Governor, there are five Dutch warships approaching the right wing, and the Vindi has sunk two Dutch warships in succession."

The Wendi sank two Dutch warships in succession, but five Dutch warships still rushed up from the right wing.

Captain Wendi Haike reported the situation to Zheng Chenggong while ordering the shelling of the Netherlands warships.

When Zheng Chenggong heard the Cape report, he immediately determined that the Dutch people wanted to fight the Ming Dynasty.

"The Emperor Wen, the Netherlands must want to capture you, and then use the Ming ironclad ship to bombard our fleet.

I immediately ordered the Jiajing to support you and must sink them. How could the Ming warships be captured?"

"Yes, don't worry, the governor is there, the ship is there!"

Cape agreed and immediately sent an order:

"The gunner bombarded me the first ship of the Netherlands. The gunner prepared for the battle. Once the Dutch warship approached our ship, let them taste the taste of grenades."

"yes"

Under the command of the USS Ajax, five Dutch warships rushed to the right wing of the Ming fleet.

The Dutch warship The Hague rushed in the front. They rushed over quickly with the bombardment of the Wendi.

Captain Wendi Haijiao was furious:

"Soldiers, hit all the artillery and sink the Dutch warship in front of me, pay attention to bombarding the waterline."

"Boom..."

The warship of the Wendi was not bombarding other warships, and sixty artillery on one side bombarded the Hague.

Due to the close distance, at least thirty shells bombarded the waterline of the Hague bow.

The head of the Hague warship was destroyed, and the sea water surging into the cabin of the warship, and the bow of the Hague immediately began to sink.

Due to wind inertia, the The Hague almost overturned from behind. Soon, under the wind, the Hague plunged into the sea.

At this time, the Jiajing also rushed to a rescue not far from the Wendi. The warships were on the naval guns that violently bombarded the Dutch warships rushing towards them from behind.

Two Ming Iron-armored warships bombed violently, and five Dutch warships were sunk four one after another.

Seeing two Ming warships easily bombarding five Dutch warships, four of which had sunk.

Colonel Dutland's eyes began to turn red and his mentality was completely unbalanced:

"Appoint the twenty warships behind to rush up immediately and must approach the Ming warship."

Even though four warships were sunk, Colonel Dutland still thought of capturing the Ming Dynasty's iron armored warship.

He brought more than 60 warships, could he not kill two Ming warships?

As long as they capture a Ming Dynasty iron-armored warship, it will not be considered a loss for them.

Under the crazy bet of Colonel the Netherlands, the action of the pack of wolves began to appear.

Although five more warships were sunk, the hulls of the Ming Dynasty warships became bumpy and the shells were used up.

Not only were there used up shells on the Wendi, but there was not much ammunition on the Jiajing warship.

"Report to the captain, the shells are consumed severely and will be used up soon."

The artillery households have reminded the captain for the third time that they have exhausted their ammunition.

Originally, there were a lot of ammunition, but the combined fleet was too large. Because the waves were so fierce, the hit rate dropped, and the Wendi finally couldn't support it.

The cape is not at all panicked. It’s no big deal. At most, it’s just loyal to the country.

Under normal circumstances, he should ask Zheng Chenggong for instructions and withdraw from the battle to provide supplies.

However, in the face of the crazy attack of the Joint Fleet, Cape did not choose to do that.

When the fleet needs them the most, they must not retreat. Once they retreat, they will send the right wing of the fleet to the joint fleet.

Haijiao calmly walked into the cabin and looked at his soldiers and asked:

"Brothers, we have no shells anymore. Are you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid, if we die in battle, our family will be taken care of by the state, and we will die without regrets."

Haijiao nodded, with a decisive look in his eyes:

"Thank you brothers for never retreating. You are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Today, I decided to live and die with you. Now I decided to use the armored warship to hit the Dutch warship.

Brothers, hold on to the handrail. Once the enemy uses the collision of two ships to take the opportunity to attack our warship, you must treat them with grenades."

"yes"

The smoke from Emperor Wen rushed out of thick smoke and headed towards the Dutch warship at full speed.

Haijiao's action immediately scared the captain of the Jiajing, Zheng Zhihu.

He was not worried that the Wendi Ship would be sunk, but that the Netherlands soldiers would take the opportunity to board the Ming warship.

There are nearly ten warships, with a large number of people. If the Wen Emperor is captured, it will be a big trouble.

"Come on and cover the title of Emperor Wen."

Zheng Zhihu hurriedly ordered the Jiajing to follow up on the protection, and they still had some shells.

Seeing the Ming warship rushing towards his warship, Colonel Dutland was not surprised but happy.

It’s really like you don’t walk in heaven, but you can’t go to hell. (Of course he doesn’t understand the meaning of this sentence, but he thinks this way in his heart)

Hurry order:

"Three warships come up and take care of the Ming warship when they collided! Haha..."

Cape grabbed the handrail and stared at the Dutch warship ahead, ready to withstand the inertia of the battleship colliding at any time.

The Dutch warship guns were on the side strings and could not fire when they advanced, and the shelling was stopped at this time.

This gave the Jiajing a good opportunity to sink them, and Zheng Zhihu immediately ordered the Jiajing to rush over and fire.

Just as the Jiajing rushed forward, the Wendi had already hit the first Dutch warship that rushed forward.

The Netherlands warship originally wanted to bypass the Wendi, but the sails were too weak and the Wendi was fast, so they could only watch the two warships collided.

"Bang..."

With a loud bang, the bow of the Dutland warship was smashed to pieces.

The Netherlands soldiers who held the armrest tightly with one hand and held the flying claws in the other hand suddenly turned into flying men.

The hull of the Wendi Emperor is all iron plates, and the tonnage is much heavier. When the two warships collided, the God of War only had a shock.

Only a few soldiers who did not hold the handrails tightly fell and injured, and some naval guns fell over, so there was no big problem.
