Chapter 2210: Kind rewarded
With the rumbling of artillery, the Dutch fleet began to break through.
The 18 battleships, 12 cruise ships and as many as 52 armed merchant ships in the port are all out. They start the charge with the arson ship and are invincible in the bay!
Looking at the burning arson ship, even if Cabot had great abilities, he did not dare to order the precious warship to go forward.
His fleet was concentrated in the open sea to intercept the Dutch fleet. According to his order, the fleet had a clear division of labor. If the enemy ships were willing to engage in battle, battle line operations would be launched.
If the enemy ship wants to escape, every four ships will be used as a group to stop one enemy battleship to fight more and less. As for the other battleships, let them run away.
The warships of the sailing age were difficult to sink in battle, so Cabot did not seek a big victory, and could sink one ship.
Use cruise ships to fight the enemy ships one-on-one, and then use two cruise ships as a group to intercept heavy loaders of the enemy ship and see if you can make a profit.
Action!
But Adrian Banker is also a veteran, he let the fleet go together, not let the Chinese divide and conquer.
The ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. Once out of the open sea, Zhu Baipi will not cover other people so noble, but can run as fast as possible, leaving other ships to attract firepower.
Especially the Dutch, they have some scruples when they are captains of other kingdoms, but in a country without a king, hey, everyone is equal!
If you flee, the Dutch fleet became the prey of the South China Fleet. Look, the most energetic battleships were the "Hope" with 72 guns and the "Windmill" with 68 guns. They were surrounded by Chinese battleships. It's hard to get out.
In an instant, the "Hope" was draped in the thunderfire that hit it, bowed left and right, and the two sides of the guns bombarded the two battleships "Southeast Asia 137" and "Southeast Asia 168", all the white leather equipment on the ship. Furiously, shot and fired and fought desperately.
They all know that it is only in this way that it is possible to escape from birth, otherwise they will die or be sold as slaves, terrible fate will fall on them!
And the Chinese also refused to give in. The armed forces now have the advantage. If Baipi escapes, there will be no face and no income, so the captains all ordered: "Those who dare to step back will be cut!"
Everyone fought desperately. For a time, the Chinese couldn't hold down the "Hope". Three battleship guns went forward and forward three nautical miles without knowing how many rounds of guns were fired.
The masts were all cracked. Everyone didn't think about anything, they just fired the cannon.
The Dutch went crazy, and they continued to shoot at an average rate of fire of one shell per minute.
hit the "Southeast Asia 137" and "Southeast Asia 168" in a mess, with heavy casualties. If it weren't for the strong armors worn by the sailors, I was afraid that they would be beaten full of dead bodies.
"Hit hit hit!" At the 7th gun position on the upper gun deck on the right side of "Southeast Asia 137", the sailors all changed --- either dead or wounded, only gunner Ma Debiao was left, who also suffered from his left arm. After he was wounded, blood was dripping on the deck due to activities after the bandage. He ignored him, shouted loudly, and the sailors hurried up.
Not only Ma Debiao, anyone who is slightly injured can't get under the line of fire. As long as he can move, he will do his best to participate in the war.
On the "Southeast Asia 168" gun deck, three gunners were replaced, and the deputy captain was also injured but refused to withdraw.
"Southeast Asia 137" and "Southeast Asia 168" have been fighting with the "Hope" sandwiched between them. If Admiral Cabot hadn't personally come to order them to retreat, the two ships would not care about anything and just fired.
————
The "Hope" was attacked by two new power ships. The "Hope" was beaten into a pile of rotten wood, and the deck became a slaughterhouse. Although it could not be sunk, it completely muffled the fire--- People are lying down, how can they fight!
Compared with the "Hope", it was at least played vigorously and without regrets. The "Windmill" was bad luck. It was first bombarded by two Chinese battleships, and then the "Southeast Asia 43" battleship rushed forward. , A round of fierce bombardment from its side and rear, unexpectedly knocked its rudder position.
Which line does the ship have no rudder, if the party has the upper hand, it may even escape.
Now, the "Windmill" simply raised the white flag and surrendered. When the other white-skinned ships were still breaking through, the white-skinned people on the "Windmill" had already rested early.
In addition to the two battleships "Hope" and "Windmill", four other white-skinned battleships were also besieged. The white-skinned dog jumped over the wall to do everything possible, and the sound of artillery on the sea was so fierce that the sky was broken. !
In the end, three battleships failed to escape. Only the lucky "Prestige" escaped the terrible encirclement. The captain of the ship, Van Ducarlo, was very clever and did not fight the Chinese indiscriminately. He sharpened his head and looked everywhere to escape. The opportunity was eventually escaped by him.
Even if the Chinese smashed his ass, he still escaped.
In this way, the Chinese captured five Dutch battleships, and the remaining 13 battleships escaped, including the "Black Tulip" commanded by Adrian Bankt. He very cleverly chose the "Black Tulip" with only 65 guns. As the flagship of the Tulip, the ship is a new ship with fast speed. It is almost the first one to leave the battlefield. Fortunately, he also ordered the ships to cover each other to allow more people to escape!
11 of the 12 cruise ships escaped, and the South China Fleet did not target them at all!
This is smart. Cruise ships run fast. As long as they can’t sink them quickly, they can all escape. Why waste shells?
Only the "Suffolk" cruise ship was unlucky enough, and it went to the South China Fleet "Southeast Asia 108" in a panic. The captain of the ship, Colonel He Xiangsheng, was overjoyed!
A round of heavy artillery greeted us. The keel of the "Suffolk" cruise ship was suddenly broken, half floating on the water, and the crew called for help.
Seeing that the situation is in the hands of our army, Colonel He Xiangsheng ordered the rescue!
His actions are humanitarian, because the battleships of the South China Fleet have no obligation to rescue the fallen enemy!
Battleships are important assets of the emperor. They cannot be easily damaged. When the enemy falls into the water to rescue them, the battleships will be in danger. Therefore, the military regulations stipulate that battleships are not obliged to rescue them.
Of course, the clause is dead, and Colonel He Xiangsheng's order to save people is also allowed. As long as the prisoner of war does not have an accident, he will be fine. If something happens, he has to take this responsibility.
The officer spoke, and the subordinates are very active!
actively save people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The white skins rescued will be sold, and the sold slaves can let everyone share the money.
Speaking of the navy, there are two main directions. One is to fight battleships, get promoted quickly, and get medals easily. Because battleships fight big battles, sea battles are the patent of battleships, and small ships go aside.
The other direction is to serve as a errand on a cruise ship. It is not as fast as a battleship, but there is a chance to make money---capture the enemy ship to sell the enemy, ships, and materials to share.
Kindness is rewarded. A Baipi who was rescued said that he was the captain of the sinking cruise ship. As long as the Chinese promised him freedom, he would have an important military report.
How big is the matter? Colonel He Xiangsheng in a good mood agreed to him.
When you are in a bad mood, then torture, dare to negotiate terms with us?
"The boxes there are full of gold!" The pile of seemingly unpretentious boxes on the deck of Baipi Finger told the Chinese people.
He Xiangsheng waved his hand, and a group of sailors with their upper bodies jumped into the sea, frantically fetching water, and swam toward the half-sinking enemy ship, while the rest were busy putting out the boats!
Seeing their frenetic energy, the neighboring ships all looked sideways. Can't figure out that they are going to dive in the war? !
Very hi, want to swim to cool down?
