Chapter 909: The Target

I saw that on the sea east of the sea channel, seven or eight Dutch warships turned straight back towards the sea channel, and the first two of them had already begun to change their rudders.

"My day! First mate, get them back! Liu Hong gradually shouted at Bu Jiageng.

He also didn't expect the Dutch to dare to come back and forth, several lucky boats rushed to the front to block the river, and only Liu Hongji's flagship was left on the sea, and Liu Hongjian was also taken aback.

Bu Jiageng asked the second mate to be in charge of the artillery, and on the other hand, he ordered the flag to be sent to the standard-bearers to summon the lucky ships to come back to protect the flagship.

However, there was no time at all, and the Invincible was surrounded by seven or eight Dutch warships after only one round of shelling.

Boom - Boom -

A circle of Dutch warships opened fire one after another, and the Invincible was the first to be hit by the sparkling hull, and because the distance was too close, the shells were too dense, and the deck of the Invincible was the first to suffer.

At this time, the pouring technology is not proficient enough, and the weakest point of the new ironclad ship is actually the deck, the hull steel plate is relatively thick, and the solid bullet cannot penetrate it, but the deck cannot.

The first to suffer were a dozen gunners on the deck, and solid shells entered the deck and rampage, knocking the gunners to pieces.

"Your uncle! The first mate hurriedly opened fire on Lao Tzu! Liu Hong's face turned green when he saw the tragic situation on the deck, and he yelled as he made a gesture to go out to command.

"Lord Wang! You must not go out, and you will go down and have a look! Bu Jiageng was frightened and gave Niu Dabang a look.

As early as before the expedition, Qi Yuangong had specially explained to Bu Jiageng that his only task was to ensure Liu Hongji's safety, if Liu Hongjian had an accident, everyone would definitely have to bear Zhu Cihong's dragon face anger.

Although the nerves of the bull mallet were relatively thick, he also understood the danger outside, and directly blocked the door, and Bu Jiageng went down to the lower deck to check with confidence.

"Big stick mallet, you hurry up!" Liu Hong said angrily, saying in his heart that he was dignified King Qin, how could he hide in the cabin at this time.

"Master, unless you cut me with a knife, I will never let you out."

……

After several rounds of bombardment, the ships in the sea channel came at an accelerated pace, but fortunately, the Invincible was too thick, and the Dutch battleships had no choice but to inflict some damage on the deck.

Rao also frightened the captains of the other lucky ships, and even one of the lucky ships saved people and crashed directly into the Dutch warship.

At this time, eight or nine lucky boats also came to the rear, and Qi Yuangong was not worried that Liu Hongjian was gradually meeting the enemy alone, so he specially sent Qi Laosan to assist.

Qi Laosan happened to see that Liu Hongji's flagship Invincible was being beaten by a Dutch warship, and after snorting his throat, he rushed towards the sea channel at full speed.

Seeing this, the Dutch battleship immediately turned the battleship and fled eastward, Qi Laosan was worried that something would happen to Liu Hong, and after driving away the Dutch battleship, he held back the anger in his heart, and scolded the captains of several other lucky ships, while asking the flag bearer to send a flag to the flagship to confirm Liu Hongji's safety.

After learning that Liu Hong was gradually safe, Qi Laosan was still indignant in his heart, and saw that a Dutch battleship not far away had lost its ability to move due to serious injuries, so he ordered the Fu ship to fire at the Dutch battleship.

After a round of shelling, the Dutch warship was directly blown apart and quickly sunk in the boundless sea.

"Lord Wang, please punish the prince for being late for drunk driving!" Qi Laosan knelt down as soon as he climbed onto the flagship.

At this time, he is no longer a splash at the poker table to ask Liu Honggradually for money, no matter whether the order is given by Liu Honggradually or not, as long as the boss is in danger, his subordinates are always responsible.

"Get up, don't blame you, the Dutch guy of the dog R still has this hand, Qi Laosan, you go and see if there are other seaways around!" Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and an AKM suddenly appeared in his hand.

After the sinking of the Dutch battleship, panicked Dutch drifted on the sea, each lying on a plank and shouting something in Dutch.

Liu Honggradually didn't understand and didn't plan to respond, so he put AKM on the side of the ship and began to play gophers.

……

An hour later, the Battle of Luzon Harbor ended, except for Lancelot who escaped from the sea channel with five Dutch warships, the main Dutch Batavia fleet was completely annihilated, and the Daming Navy Division proved who was the real sea supremacy with actual combat.

In fact, after the paralysis of the three batteries, the Dutchman, who was not afraid of death, surrendered decisively, and at least a dozen Dutch warships were completely absorbed by the Ming Naval Division.

It's just that unfortunately, the more than 3,000 Dutch who surrendered did not see the sun the next day, and Liu Hongji's humanitarianism only included countries with humanitarianism first.

Obviously, the Dutch state is not.

The naval battle of Luzon Port was relatively smooth, and the Daming Navy Division only lost one No. 1 ship and three No. 2 ships, with a loss rate of less than 10 percent.

Soon the news of the destruction of the Dutch East India Company's Batavia fleet reached the Luzon Islands, and then spread rapidly through the local natives.

The local natives, who had been oppressed and slaughtered by the Dutch colonists, immediately organized a counterattack and killed the Dutch in the Luzon Islands, even the Francisonians.

There were also many Han Chinese among these people, and because the local indigenous tribes had long been broken up by the colonizers, Liu Hongjian appointed several local Han Chinese as temporary commanders, and left a small number of Janissaries to take over the harbors and forts in Luzon.

Three days later, the Ming sailors resumed their sea route against the Dutch, heading south from Luzon to Manila, where the Dutch either fled or were killed by the natives.

The fleet went northwest to Banten without stopping, and Alden, who was in charge of the affairs of the Banten region, was still preparing for the final retreat, but was eventually wiped out by the Ming fleet due to the obstruction of the natives.

Luzon and Banten were uprooted as two important strongholds of the Indian East India Company, and the Dutch colonists became the target of the natives of the South Seas.

Half a month later, the Daming sailors arrived in Batavia, outside the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company.

However, to Liu's surprise, the Dutch in Batavia did not leave, but were ready to hold on.

Batavia had three important seaports, one military and two civilian, but all had batteries, and since it was the headquarters of the East India Company, the number of batteries and the defense of the batteries were solid.

So Liu Hong gradually began to have a headache again, he first ordered Qi Laosan to lead a detachment to provoke, but the Dutch ignored it at all and only launched a battery attack.

The Dutch also seemed to be ready to hold on to the reinforcements, and they also blocked all three ports with iron chains and stones, unless the naval division gave up the advantage of the battleship and forced the landing operation, it would be difficult to wait for work with shipboard artillery.

But the forced landing would certainly be suppressed by the strong firearms of the Dutch, knowing that there were at least 20,000 Dutch mercenaries in Batavia, and the condescending advantage was enough to inflict heavy losses on the marines.

"Lord Wang, just now Lord Zheng caught a small boat with suspicious whereabouts, and the person on the boat said that it was an envoy of the Wandan Kingdom, and he asked to see you."
