The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 399: The 3rd Battle of Batavia

According to the survivor on the gun deck, Kaohsiung 26 was hit by the opponent’s artillery. The fuse lit by a gunner fell out of his hand and fell on the gunpowder barrel. The gunpowder ignited suddenly, and the hot flame swept the entire line. The gun deck of the battleship detonated the gunpowder barrels all the way, igniting the gunpowder depot, and then the Kaohsiung 26th ship exploded, exploding the sea!

The violent explosion took off the entire open deck and not counted, it was still like a rag, destroying the cargo hold and lower tank below.

So the sea rushed in, and the speed was so fast that the damage control troops on the ship were useless. Soon, the battleship was submerged by the sea!

At that time, the survivor was ignited when he saw it. He was close to the stairs to the open deck. Without thinking, he jumped from the stairs to the open deck for the first time. He shouted: "The bottom was detonated" and jumped into the sea without any damage. .

The crew dived and escaped. The two southeast warships leaned over and threw down wooden boards as temporary support. They also threw ropes to rescue the survivors so that they could climb up along the hanging ropes or net rope ladders.

The white people made a show, they did not attack the two Southeast ships that were rescuing the drowned.

In other places, the battle was in full swing, with smoke billowing on the sea, and the distance between the battle lines between the two sides was drawn very close. From time to time, warships were shot, and people were killed and injured every minute. The screams of gunfire and gunfire were heard, and the sea was extremely loud , Like a big boiling pot.

It has been three hours since the war, and the battle lines of the two sides are almost facing each other, when they are preparing to have a good time, what's the expectation!

The wind was violent and screaming, blowing the thick smoke of gunpowder clean, and the neat formation of everyone was also blowing up chaos!

The quick-reacting officers immediately corrected the sails and turned the wind-receiving surface to prevent the wind from blowing them away, but one-third of the Southeast ships had already run into the Dutch ranks, and the Dutch had no battle lines anymore. Two-fifths of the ships were blown away.

When Yan Changwu saw the banner hunting and hunting, it was obvious that the wind was very strong, even the battleships were blowing round and round, so he ordered Mingjin to retreat and retreat to a relatively flat island off Batavia, and anchored densely around the surrounding area. Get up, then treat the wounded and repair the ship.

The Dutch were unwilling to reconcile, but the wind was so strong that their formations were blown up and down, and it was difficult to gather people to fight again, so they had to return to Batavia.

As a result, the first day's battle ended in a horrible fashion. The unfortunate Kaohsiung 26 became the only warship that was sunk, and the Dutch won the battle on the first day.

However, when the people in Batavia port stepped forward to rescue the dead and wounded on the ship, they were terrified.

A **** corpse was brought up, and the wounded who were moaning miserably were supported or brought down. The port was filled with the breath of death. Although it was not long before the battle, the white people suffered considerable losses, and five died in the battle. More than a hundred people, the number of wounded has passed 2,000, and many of the wounded will never see the sun the next day!

In contrast, the Southeast Army killed two hundred in battle (half of the No. 26 in Kaohsiung) and wounded more than a thousand, but most of the wounded will survive, and even most of the wounded will be able to fight again later, losing less than 300 people. , And two thousand three hundred white people (Allied Forces).

Although the Dutch also have medical ideas, they have basically established a "system", which includes medical knowledge, medical education, doctors and nurses.

In contrast, Young Master Yan was very willing to invest money in medical care, and he was willing to buy armor for his officers and soldiers, and he received a generous return.

There are not enough doctors for white people, even if there are not many medical staffs doing their best, it is a drop in the bucket, and a large number of wounded will eventually die.

But the brilliance of the unsinkable ship concealed the problem of casualties, and everyone was happy to hear that the ship sank the other party without damaging the ship. Hendrick Brouwer is sober-minded. As a veteran, he knows that the warships in the Southeast Mansion are bigger than them, and the artillery is thicker, bigger and harder. Even the gun firepower of the Southeast Mansion has overwhelmed them. !

In order to increase the firepower, the Southeast Army fired several guns per person, shooting fast, with many guns, and a long range, so that the white people on the ship could not lift their heads.

In the battle, although the guard group of Yan Daxiao received a heavy blow, Hendrik Brovo was also attacked, and his guards were almost dead.

The problem is that his men and horses are not like the Southeast Army. He gave an order, and he had to stand in front of Yan Dashao and block guns.

However, the white man was not so conscious. Hendrik Brouwer had to avoid the main direction of the opponent's fire and walked around on the boat, getting into a dilemma.

Back at the Governor’s Palace, Hendrick Brovo, who thought about it, became more anxious and sent someone to invite Spanish captain Juan Carlos. This is a serious middle-aged man in a black robe and a cross on his chest. People, Hendrick Brouwer met him in the office, asked him to sit down, and invited him to drink.

The two were old friends back then, and even fought a war, and their relationship has never been good, but they fought together under the banner of jihad. After they had a drink, Hendrick Brouwer asked Juan Carlos: " Do you have any thoughts on today's battle?"

"They are very powerful!" Juan Carlos said bluntly.

"Yes, they are so strong that we might lose!" Hendrick Brouwer said, and Juan Carlos agreed.

"So, I have a plan, listen!" Hendrick Brouwer said, making Juan Carlos' eyes widened!

Hendrick Brouwer hurriedly persuaded him: "The Lord said, killing infidels is not a crime, it is the way to heaven!"

"I think about it!" Juan Carlos said.

...

When he woke up the next day, Yan Changwu walked out of the cockpit and saw the unpleasant faces of the officers. He habitually looked at the weather, and suddenly the wind changed its direction!

The wind is blowing from the big six. If the Southeast Fleet goes to fight the Dutch, then it is fighting against the wind.

The Southeast Army likes to fight with the upper hand, so every year it uses the northwest monsoon to beat the Dutch when the enemy has the upper hand.

The officers did not speak, the first thing Yan Changwu did was to arrange sacrifices, please Mazu Niangniang bless!

Consecration, incense, wishing, toasting and other ceremonies ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ all completed.

Yan Changwu prayed to Mazu and asked her old man to protect the army under her **** seat.

Of course, it won't be immediate, and the wind direction will remain the same.

"Continue to dispatch and go to war!" Yan Changwu ordered.

I didn't say, whether it is headwind or advantage, it is impossible for the fleet to count rice there, and if the Southeast Fleet does not attack, would the Dutch give up such an opportunity?

Sure enough, the two sides agreed, and soon met again on the sea.

Everyone still made a way, slowly approaching, the sound of cannons sounded again!
