Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth blood-stained sea
"Master Zheng, do you dare to defeat the enemy with me?"
With the dragon tooth in hand, Ding Yunyi looked back and smiled.
Zheng Zhifeng was also very proud: "If the deputy town dared to die, how could Zheng Zhifeng dare to cherish his life?"
The two looked at each other and laughed. Although Ding Yunyi and the Zheng family were allies but also had many conflicts, at this moment, he and Zheng Zhilong came together and fought side by side.
In front of foreign enemies, personal grudges can be temporarily put aside.
The shells roared and flew in all directions, exploding huge water columns on the sea. However, the "Huwei" and the sailors on all the Tiger Guard warships seemed not to feel it at all and continued to move forward.
Closer! Closer! Closer!
A cannonball landed on the "Huwei", splinters of wood flew into the air, but the ship's speed was not affected at all.
"Boom—boom—boom—"
In the direction of the Portuguese fleet, the main force of the Tiger Guards was continuously bombarding every enemy warship within the range with ferocious artillery fire.
Arranged in a straight line, each squadron followed the main ship's traditional combined fleet fighting method. At this time, when the flanks were attacked, their own weaknesses were completely exposed to the Tiger Guards.
The Huben Guards quickly formed a local situation of using more troops to defeat fewer troops.
Five or six shells fell on the Portuguese "Expedition" almost at the same time. After the "Expedition" suffered this continuous blow, the sailors on board suffered heavy casualties.
Captain Domogyi immediately ordered the "Expedition" to retreat, but the panicked "Expedition" collided with his friendly ship "Oriental Victory".
For these two Portuguese warships, this mistake was fatal.
Countless cannonballs fell on the "Expedition" and the "Eastern Victory". In a moment, the two warships that once showed off their power on the sea were almost torn into pieces.
A large number of sailors on the ship were killed, and the remaining ones jumped into the cold water one after another, desperately waiting for their final fate...
The main attack pace of the Huben Guards did not stop at all.
After sinking the "Expedition" and the "Oriental Victory", the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Huben Guards on the ship was greatly boosted, and the sound of the cannons became more and more cheerful.
Not only on the flanks, but also on the front, all but seven of the twenty ships guarded by the "Clipper Dead Soldiers" were sunk by the Portuguese. The rest all hit their targets.
Fires burned on three Portuguese warships, and countless Portuguese sailors howled in despair in the fire.
Delson, the commander of the Portuguese fleet, roared in despair, but his roar could no longer prevent such a terrible thing from happening. He did not believe that the enemy would adopt such tactics.
The Spanish fleet has never participated in the war, and their commander Cocuera is a little scared. If he leads the fleet to join the war, what will be the consequences if he encounters this lunatic's style of play? Will he also be like those of the Portuguese?
Like a battleship, facing a tragic situation?
Of course, there is also some schadenfreude.
No matter what results the Dutch fleet would achieve, at least the Portuguese fleet had been severely damaged. Many of their warships were reinforced from the direction of Malacca, where the Spaniards and Portuguese were also fighting.
After this naval battle, the Portuguese power will inevitably be greatly weakened, which will be an excellent opportunity for Spain.
"Your Majesty Commander, should you thank me?" Simond asked with a smile.
"Of course, of course. I really should thank you." Governor Cocuera was smiling. On the other side of him was the commander of the Coromandel Coast Fleet, Diego Almenesh. Governor Cocuera
He smiled and said: "Digo, my friend, the Portuguese in Malacca have suffered such a heavy blow, I think your fleet should be put to use."
Diego Almonesh was also smiling: "Your Majesty the Governor, you have made the wisest decision. Although I also have ambitions for Taiwan, it seems obviously unrealistic now. The situation in Malacca is
It’s much simpler. Of course, it would be ungentlemanly for us to do this, but for Spain, there is nothing we can do about it.”
"For Spain." Governor Cocuera said with a smile.
The naval battle continued.
While the Portuguese fleet suffered a heavy blow, the fleet commanded by Ding Yunyi also struggled to advance towards the enemy ships under the fierce artillery fire of the Dutch fleet.
The "Fujian" was hit and caught fire, and the "Quanzhou" was hit and caught fire... But this did not affect Ding Yunyi's determination at all. Even the damaged "Fujian" and "Quanzhou" were still on the same side.
Putting out the fire, he pushed forward tenaciously.
Luo Aidadan, the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet, was praised as the "Young Genius of the Netherlands." The Dutch, who was only thirty-three years old this year and commanded such a large fleet, also suffered under such an offensive.
Became flustered.
The weakest British fleet has been defeated, and the situation of the Portuguese is not much better. But those damn Spaniards, but there is no sign of dispatching at all until now. They have obviously betrayed the United Fleet.
And on the front, those Ming Dynasty people were simply crazy. They didn't follow the rules of naval warfare at all, and they rushed towards them so desperately.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy ship has crossed the effective bombardment range!"
"Boarding battle, prepare for boarding battle!"
This was the most helpless choice. With the advantage of powerful battleships and artillery fire, Aidan had to face fierce hand-to-hand combat.
And this is what Ding Yunyi wants to see...
Zhang Xianxuan and Cai Jiuzhou were unable to defeat the Portuguese fleet in the shortest time, and the pressure of artillery fire they endured was too great. Only by entangled with the Dutch regardless of casualties could they reverse their disadvantage.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, Ding Yunyi suddenly had a strange thought in his heart. Before coming to this era, he had never thought that he would experience such a naval battle. Artillery fire exchanged, and then hand-to-hand combat, such an ancient
Naval battle tactics. Or maybe you only saw them in movies before?
But now, it appeared in front of him alive.
"Board!"
Ye Dahai's roar came from beside him.
"Board!"
Ding Yunyi also burst into such a roar at the same time.
Flagship versus flagship!
The "Huwei" directly connected with the "Tulip", the flagship of the four-nation combined fleet!
Now, all the advantageous artillery fire has become a decoration, and the fight between people will determine the outcome of the battle here.
A sailor from the "Huwei" jumped on desperately, but with the simultaneous roar of several muskets, the Ming sailor was completely blown to pieces.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
Earth-shaking roars came from the sailors on the "Huwei". The artillery could not stop them, and the muskets could not stop them either.
One after another, sailors jumped onto the "Tulip", and among these sailors, the figure of a person always supported these Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers' belief in victory:
Ding Yunyi!
Always fight first! This has almost become synonymous with Ding Yunyi.
This young, brave and fearless deputy general of the Ming Dynasty was like a tiger. He jumped into a pile of sheep. The "dragon teeth" in his hands rose and fell, blood spattered, and his broken limbs flew everywhere. Anyone who blocked him would die, and whoever stopped him would die!
Zheng Zhifeng also performed very powerfully. This was not only a contest between the Huben Navy and the four-nation combined fleet, but also a contest between the Zheng family and the Ding family!
No matter what, you can't lose to Ding Yunyi in terms of momentum!
The sword in his hand kept swinging out one after another, and the sword drank blood. The blood covered Zheng Zhifeng's whole body, making him look so ferocious and terrifying.
"Master Zheng, how refreshing is it to kill?"
Amid Ding Yunyi's loud laughter, Zheng Zhifeng also laughed and said: "I haven't killed anyone for a long time. I didn't expect that this time, I would kill everyone. But the deputy mayor fights side by side. How happy!"
Ding Yunyi groaned, and his left shoulder was pierced by the Dutchman's sword. He roared sharply, kicked the Dutchman over with a flying kick, and said in a cold voice: "How dare you hurt me!"
The Dutchman who fell on the ground couldn't understand what the enemy was saying. But he had clearly been stabbed by himself, so why could he be so brave? When he saw Ding Yunyi charging towards him with a knife, he let out a cry of terror.
But the dragon's tooth has fallen...
One of the Dutchman's left arms was removed, and he pierced Ding Yunyi's left shoulder. Ding Yunyi then removed his arm, including the capital and interest, and no default!
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yunyi cut off a head with another knife.
This bloody and cruel scene shocked even Zheng Zhifeng, who was accustomed to seeing life and death. How could he kill someone so brutally? He had to kill the opponent's arm first? He must be punished. This man was really terrible.
At this time, Ding Yunyi has his back to Zheng Zhifeng, and his back is wide open. With just one sword, he can assassinate Ding Yunyi under his own sword... Why doesn’t Mr. Zheng kill the enemy?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Zheng Zhifeng. Zheng Zhifeng shivered. When he looked back, he saw Ye Dahai looking at him with a half-smile. He shivered and forced a smile and said: "I was just thinking.
Stain my sword with the blood of the red barbarians!"
Ding Yunyi suddenly turned around: "Haidai, Mr. Zheng is the bravest of all three armies. Are you still afraid that he won't be able to kill Hongyi?"
At this moment, Zheng Zhifeng suddenly understood that the seemingly brave Ding Yunyi was not foolhardy. He never believed in himself. From the beginning of the battle, he let Ye Dahai watch him from the side...
..
Adadan must face this situation.
The "Tulip" is already full of enemies. Although the winners and losers cannot yet be determined, the killing methods of these ferocious Ming Dynasty people are really terrifying and bloody. And what's even more terrible is that the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty
The people were fighting together, and the nearby Dutch warships were unable to help them at all.
Screams that shook the sea were heard on every ship, and every ship was fighting hard...Mr. Commander-in-Chief, look!"
Adadan was startled by his subordinates' screams. He looked in the direction of his subordinates' fingers and saw that countless ships were appearing.
The sailors around him were fighting hard, and Aida hurriedly picked up the telescope. Gradually he was able to see clearly.
Boats! That’s countless boats!
On every ship, the same flag was flying: two knives holding a terrifying skull!
Pirates! Those are pirates! God, where did all these pirates come from!
The calls came one after another from the pirate ships. Zheng Zhilong listened attentively. As the ships approached, he finally heard the calls of thousands of people clearly:
"Leader, the Pirate Alliance is sending massive reinforcements!"
Pirate alliance? Zheng Zhifeng was startled. He had faintly heard that Ding Yunyi had organized a pirate alliance before, but those were all just rumors. He never expected that they were true.
At this point, Ding Yunyi no longer wanted to hide anything. He couldn't hide it anyway. He smiled and said: "Master Zheng, I gathered the pirates and made them change their ways and serve the court. What do you think, Master Zheng?"
"Ah, okay, okay..." Zheng Zhifeng forced a smile.
Now the situation is a bit worrying. The combat effectiveness displayed by the Huben Guards Navy in this naval battle was already shocking. Now that he has so many pirates as helpers, it has become much more difficult to control the force.
This has already posed a serious threat to the Zheng family!
How many years has it been since Ding Yunyi arrived in Fujian? How could he have such momentum? He is now in alliance with the Zheng family, but what about the future?
Ding Yunyi actually did it intentionally. He wanted to let Zheng Zhilong know through Zheng Zhifeng that his power could no longer be destroyed by the Zheng family if they wanted to. An alliance with him was Zheng Zhilong's only choice!
The sudden appearance of a large group of pirates caused the battlefield situation to change again.
The first one to react was Cocuera, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish fleet. He immediately issued a retreat order. God, merciful God, Ding Yunyi did not deceive him. He had enough power to mobilize the pirates. And he was watching with eager eyes.
What about a tree and a puff of smoke in Luzon?
God bless, I hope Ding Yunyi can keep his word and not let those two big pirates launch any attacks on Luzon. Otherwise, everything he has worked hard to manage in Luzon, and his wife and children there will face nightmares.
The Spanish fleet did not attack before, but it allowed the combined fleet to have a little luck, but now the sudden retreat made the sailors of the combined fleet panic.
"Despicable Spaniard!" Lou Aidan shouted angrily.
He had the right to hate the Spaniards, but he had not thought about it carefully before. Countless battles broke out between the Netherlands and Spain in order to fight for maritime supremacy and rights in the East. They temporarily united together for their own benefit, but
Once the situation changes, can we still expect the Spaniards to help their former enemies at all costs?
The British fleet has been defeated, the Portuguese fleet is in no better condition, and now the Spanish have fled, leaving only the Dutch fleet struggling to hold on.
The majestic combined fleet now has to face the terrible situation that may come:
