Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh naval victory
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 was rapidly tilting towards the Tiger Guards. The sudden appearance of large groups of pirates gave the chaotic combined fleet a taste of defeat.
On the "Tulip", the warship has been piled up 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 kill the other person in fear! If you want to kill, you must kill the other person so that they will never dare to face you again!
This is Ding Yunyi's only idea.
His body is also covered with injuries, but he has become accustomed to enduring pain. He is a human being, not a god. He will also be injured and bleed, but it is not important. When a person is accustomed to being injured and bleeding, he will feel hurt in his heart.
The pain tolerance has already exceeded the pain of sex.
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 seeing 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 he never has been. He is afraid of pain and death, but since he followed Ding Yunyi, even he himself did not notice that he has 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, the God of Death will be helpless against 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 panic.
His military uniform, his sword, and the telescope in his hand have betrayed his identity very well.
The muskets held by the Hongyi sailors were the only threat.
"dash forward!"
Following Ding Yunyi's roar, several Ming soldiers rushed forward regardless of life or death.
The musket in Hongyi's hand went off.
The sailors fell into a pool of blood. But after the muskets were fired, they became fire sticks.
Ding Yunyi, Ye Dahai, Duan Saner, and Zheng Zhifeng rushed forward at the same time. The swords in their hands were swung away, and the sky was filled with blood.
"kill!"
This is Ding Yunyi's roar! His dragon fangs are swung left and right, and the blood is dancing 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 could
It was an honor to invite him to the banquet. This undoubtedly increased his great confidence.
He knows three musical instruments, knows two languages, can dance beautifully, and can sing moving songs. But all of this is of no use on the battlefield. The battlefield is a real bloody killing, and musical instruments cannot do anything for him.
In exchange for victory, eight languages cannot prevent death from happening. Singing and dancing here seem so ridiculous.
He could talk endlessly about the pros and cons of each naval battle tactic, he could tell the model of each cannon and the weight of the shells used, and he could also clearly tell others the range of the 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, Aidaan hurriedly pulled out his sword. It was a sword that was thin and long and had more decorative effect than actual combat effect.
The guards protecting him were all dead.
It's so terrible! It's so terrible for these Ming Dynasty people to kill people.
Ding Yunyi also saw his opponent: Luo Aidadan, commander-in-chief of the four-nation combined fleet.
He wondered why the Dutch would send this man to command the fleet, and when he saw the other party with one hand on his waist and the other raising his sword in a duel posture, 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 struck Aida Dan hard on the wrist with the back of the knife.
Ada Dan let out a painful wail, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. Before he could react, the cold blade of the knife was already aimed at 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 military officers knew what it would mean once they surrendered. Not only would they not be able to obtain Taiwan, but the series of changes that would follow were 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 counterattacks 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 fighting, and if everyone was like Idadan, then the situation in the Netherlands would have been 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 big fish with their backbones removed, moored motionless on the sea.
The Dutch fleet still had the possibility of retreat, but the Portuguese fleet had to face catastrophe.
Terrible attack!
Those Ming Dynasty ships launched rounds of attacks endlessly, and cannonballs 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 would never forget in their lifetime.
The honor of the Malacca fleet and the honor of the Portuguese will be destroyed in this terrible naval battle. When will it be restored? Only God knows.
The wind direction at sea has changed! From southwest to northeast!
Assault downwind!
Even God began to favor the brave and fearless Tiger Guard Navy!
The Portuguese fleet that caught fire suffered a big disaster. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind assisted the fire. The small fire turned into a big fire. The fire turned into an irreparable disaster!
A battleship began to sink with a fire that could not be extinguished, while the battleships nearby had nothing to do but watch all this happening.
It’s beyond saving!
Delson watched his fleet suffer this terrible ordeal. He watched the Dutch warships scramble to escape, but his 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, pride... everything will be lost... Won't you surrender? Keep 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 has made a decision and will never give up the honor of a Portuguese officer!
Fight to the end for Portugal!
The three Tiger Guard warships bit the "Liberty" who was stubbornly resisting, and shells were fired at the warship overwhelmingly. However, the "Liberty", under the command of Delson, was in a disadvantageous situation.
He resisted vigorously and saw no 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, capture the Liberty, and bring it to their captain for me!" Cai Jiuzhou said bitterly.
The three warships surrounded the "Liberty". The "Liberty" could no longer stop the enemy from boarding the ship. A large number of Tiger 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, stabbing out sword after sword 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 appearing everywhere have now become 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 bravest among them was the one who suddenly got a new ship.
This pirate, whom no one had 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 be willing to do so.
Without an alliance leader, he is just a "pirate" that no one looks down upon. Without an alliance leader, he is 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 an artillery exchange with the professional soldiers.
The rockets and fire bricks on the ship fell on the enemy ship one after another. In the light of 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 escaped successfully, some battleships sank, and some battleships surrendered...
Suddenly, everything on the sea became quiet and quiet, as if nothing happened just now...
The navy and pirates of the Huben Guards haven't reacted yet. What's going on? Where's the battle? Where's the sound of cannons?
Standing on the "Tulip", Duan Saner and Ye Dahai looked at each other. Is it over? Is the battle really over? Have they really won?
Ding Yunyi slowly raised the dragon tooth in his hand. At this time, all the brothers reacted...Long live! Long live!! Long live!!!"
The earth-shattering cry resounded throughout the entire sea.
After winning, the Huben Guard Navy, under the command of Ding Yunyi, fought in this naval battle that determined the ownership of sea power:
Great victory!
This not only repelled 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 the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Huben Guards Navy and the four-nation combined fleet fought in the waters of Taiwan. In this naval battle, Ding Yunyi used a plan to induce the Spanish fleet not to participate in the battle. Then, regardless of the danger, he personally commanded the Spanish fleet to not participate in the battle.
The warships led by the "Huwei" attracted enemy 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 the Portuguese fleet fell into chaos under the joint attack of the Clipper Corps and the Tiger Guards main fleet.
Then, all the pirate alliances participated in the war, which ultimately determined the direction of the naval battle.
In this battle, Huben Guards lost ten large and medium-sized ships and forty-seven small ships. The four-nation combined fleet sank thirteen large and small warships, surrendered, and captured thirty-three ships of various types. They were killed and captured.
It was difficult for the sailors to count clearly for a while.
Great victory in the Taiwan naval battle!
Just as cheers resounded on the sea, Wang Wei's head emerged from the water. This warrior who used fire ships to accomplish extraordinary feats couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it, who's going to help me!" (To be continued)
