The naval guns of the South China Sea Fleet had a range of at least half a nautical mile longer than the naval guns of the Dutch, and when the naval guns of the Dutch began to test the waters, there were already flowering shells falling on the battleships.

What made Dimen feel desperate was that Huaxia's naval guns were all flowering shells, and when the flowering shells fell on the battleship, they would explode again, and small holes were blown out of the deck and the side of the ship, and the soldiers were even more dead.

The explosion can also cause a fire, and the slightest mistake can burn the entire battleship.

The battleship floated on the sea, and there was plenty of water to extinguish the fire, but the upper deck was much higher than the ship's side, and it was some distance from the sea, and the soldiers had to scramble to get water from the barrels and extinguish the fire.

But in this way, not only did the soldiers need to work, but they were completely exposed to a new round of flowering shells.

Dimon's flagship was also hit by two flowering bombs, and after the explosion, two gray-black caves were revealed on the deck, and around the caves, there were faint flames visible to the naked eye.

If the fire cannot be extinguished in time, the flames will grow bigger and bigger with the help of the sea breeze, and even burn the entire battleship, Dimen cursed, and then shouted at the soldiers to go and extinguish the fire.

Dimon didn't know how many flowering shells had been taken on the battleship, and finally had a chance to fight back.

The Dutch warships were the first to use grapeshot shells, and although they did not explode, each shell flew out and scattered in the air like a sieve-like disc, densely packed.

As long as they were concentrated by grapeshells, the soldiers were either killed or wounded.

If you are unfortunate enough to be hit in the head by a grape bullet, you will become numb, if not immediately, and then a trace of blood will ooze from the low depression......

Flowering bombs can also hurt people, as long as they are in the center of the explosion, even the shock wave will stun people, and even permanently take away their sanity, but the biggest damage is still the battleship itself, the explosion occurs on the battleship, and the hull itself will be blown out of rat holes and snake holes, if the flowering bomb happens to fall on the side of the ship and explode, it is possible to blow up the opening on the side of the ship, so that the seawater pours into it.

And the grapeslet shells of the Dutch, which did not do much damage to the battleship itself, mainly hurt people.

Although the momentum of the flowering shells was more intimidating, the number of guns of the Dutch fleet was larger, and countless grapeshot shells were scattered, almost obscuring the sky, and on several of the main battleships of the South China Sea Fleet, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the sail operators had changed the soldiers.

The casualties on the Dutch battleship were also not light, and once the flowering shell landed on the battleship, not only the hull of the ship was damaged, but the casualties of the soldiers were very thorough, at least completely incapacitated.

The soldiers wanted to put out the fire, and the deck was densely populated, and it became a new target for flowering shells......

The sky is cloudless, the wind and waves on the sea are not big, but the battleship is still very turbulent, and every time the cannon is discharged, the battleship will have a violent subversion, and such a subversion, although it will not affect the shells that have been discharged, but it will affect the next aiming of the naval guns.

Only then did Zhou Kun know why the new warships were all pointed and low, and the bilge was pressed with boulders - just to reduce the amplitude of the battleship's turbulence, if there was no ballast stone, the battleship would probably capsize itself......

This was the first real naval battle of the South China Sea Fleet, whether in the West China Sea or the Yangtze River, no opponent had encountered a weighty opponent before, and it was basically crushed, but today, the number of naval guns on the Dutch battleships was obviously more, and the speed of casualties among soldiers far exceeded Zhou Kun's original estimate.

The battleship was moving extremely fast on the sea, and in the blink of an eye, the fleets of both sides staggered, each turned its rudder and turned around, and resumed the artillery battle.

The small ships of the South China Sea Fleet, although trailing behind the battleships, have not yet come into the range of the Tiger Squat guns, and so far they have only been passively beaten and have not yet begun to test the waters.

Zhou Kun felt that this was not a problem, since the small ships were beaten in vain, it was better to form a separate team and start from another

The outer side was close to the Dutch battleship, which posed a little threat to the Dutch.

He immediately sent the order to his own soldiers.

When the rudder was turned again, the small ships all turned their rudder to the right and came to the downwind of the Dutch fleet, and Zhou Kun's fleet clamped the Dutch fleet from the north and south.

Although it is not an encirclement, the small ships can finally open fire.

Zhou Kun suddenly found that a large Dutch warship had been hit on both sides of the ship, and the soldiers on board were struggling to block the water inlet, so as not to pour a large amount of seawater into the cabin.

In the eyes that had been hazy for a long time, a light of excitement finally appeared, hurting his ten fingers, it was better to cut off one of his fingers!

Zhou Kun immediately gave the order: concentrate firepower and storm this battleship!

The nine battleships were all equipped with their muzzles, and the target was this Dutch battleship, and the small ships took advantage of their strong mobility to almost surround the battleship.

Dimon had apparently discovered Zhou Kun's intentions, the Dutch fleet had gradually gained the upper hand, and if he abandoned this battleship, according to the original tactics, he might be able to win the naval battle, however, he could not afford to lose a battleship.

The Dutch battleships left their original straight lines one after another, and each selected a target to rush towards the Huaxia battleship, and in order to damage the Huaxia battleship, the shells were replaced with solid shells.

There is only one solid bullet, which will not split in the air, but the kinetic energy of the solid bullet is greater, and if it falls on the battleship, in addition to injuring the soldiers, it is entirely possible to damage the deck, shipside, etc.

The only contrarian trend is that the target is very small.

The South Sea Fleet had to meet the Dutch ships that rushed at them, and was forced to abandon the most wounded battleship.

The sea is already in chaos.

The fleets of both sides had lost their original formations, and almost each other did not fight, and only the small ships with strong maneuverability would have several close to some and still maintain a salvo.

By noon in the battle, the drawbacks of the South China Sea Fleet's weak firepower became more and more obvious; although the power of the flowering shells far exceeded that of the solid shells, the number of naval guns was too small to even be compared.

The Netherlands had eleven large and medium-sized warships, which had a huge advantage over the seven of the South China Sea Fleet, and even if the wounded warships were repaired on the side, they still had an advantage in numbers.

Zhou Kun's brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyebrows had unconsciously become a deep "Sichuan" character, if he continued to fight, the South China Sea Fleet would definitely be defeated!

If the casualties of the soldiers are counted, the South China Sea Fleet may also suffer a slight loss......

"My lord, it's not good, there's another Dutch fleet to the east......"

Zhou Kun was taken aback, "How can there be a Dutch fleet in the east?" Why hasn't it been found? He hurriedly looked east with his binoculars, and sure enough, some black lines appeared in the lens.

"My lord, do you want to send a sentinel ship?"

"It's too late to send out the sentinel ship now," Zhou Kun looked solemn, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay, quickly check the size of the Dutch fleet!"

While Zhou Kun asked his soldiers to continue to monitor the fleet in the east, his eyes turned to the battlefield.

There were two Dutch warships besieging his flagship "Chengdu", which, in order to defend itself, was firing naval guns on both sides, and the personnel were almost to the limit.

Although the "Chengdu" was in danger, the battleships were powerless, they were all dragged by their respective opponents, and even the small ships were fighting with the small warships of the Dutch.

The battleship "Chengdu" was not damaged much, but the casualties of the soldiers were close to 30%, and it was a salvo of guns on both sides, and there were no more prepared soldiers on the ship, that is, if there were any more casualties, the ship's guns would be forced to stop firing because of the lack of soldiers.

Zhou Kun was anxious.

The battlefield was already in a disadvantageous situation, but there was another Dutchman

of the fleet if this fleet joins the battle...... Are the Dutch going to annihilate the South China Sea Fleet?

If you want to keep the soldiers, you must keep the battleship, and if you want to keep the battleship, you can only withdraw from the battle......

Zhou Kun's mind has already moved, before the second Dutch fleet enters the battle, the South China Sea Fleet must withdraw from the battle!

He was a little unwilling.

The South China Sea Fleet will be the first army to lose in the middle of the world!

This was the first battle of the South China Sea Fleet after entering the sea, and unfortunately, this first will be an eternal shame......

Suddenly there was a "knock" footsteps on the deck, and even the Dutch shells were not in their eyes, "My lord, I am very happy......

"Daiki?"

"The fleet in the east is not from the Dutch, but Deputy Commander Zheng......"

"Deputy Commander Zheng? Zheng Zhilong? Zhou Kun was overjoyed, hurriedly turned the telescope, and took a closer look, there were black dots in the lens, but he couldn't see the flag on the flagship clearly, "You can see clearly, is it indeed Deputy Commander Zheng?" ”

"It's indeed Commander Zheng, this is a message from the sentinel ship!"

"Okay, good," Zhou Kun rolled his eyes, since Zheng Zhilong led the third battalion to come, it was the Dutch who escaped, he glanced at the battlefield, stared at the Dutch battleship that was the most injured, and said coldly: "Keep an eye on this battleship for me, the South China Sea Fleet suffered heavy casualties today, so I will use it as compensation!"

"Yes, sir!"

Although the third battalion did not have large warships and no flowering bombs, it was superior in number and rich experience in naval operations.

A large number of small and medium-sized ships, like a group of wolves that have been hungry for three days, often concentrate their firepower on a certain Dutch warship after joining the war group.

The biggest advantage of a small ship is that it is highly maneuverable, and once it is targeted, it is difficult for a large warship to get out.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Dimen had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

The morale of the South China Sea Fleet was greatly boosted, and in accordance with Zhou Kun's order, in addition to pursuing the rest of the Dutch battleships, the ships gradually circled and surrounded the wounded Dutch battleship.

The Dutch battleship was not seriously injured, but was only targeted by the South China Sea Fleet.

Zhou Kun conveyed the latest military order: all ships will fight back with all their might, drive out the Dutch fleet, and encircle and annihilate the wounded ship!

Although Di Men was unwilling, in order to reduce the losses, he still led the battleship to retreat quickly, watching the largest warship surrounded by Huaxia's fleet......

Zhou Kun's eyes gradually brightened, with such a battleship as a reference, Cao Jian should be able to modify Huaxia's battleship, right?

The battleship of the Dutch team did not have much resistance, it was surrounded by more than 20 standard ships, except for desperately, there was no hope of breaking through at all, that is, the small ships fought hand-to-hand, and they could also fight the soldiers on the battleship......

Zhou Kun did not dare to pursue too much, took the captured Dutch battleship, slowly retreated, and anchored the battleship near Qixingyan, the southernmost part of Taiwan Island, and at the same time sent a sentry ship to continue to closely monitor the Dutch fleet in the south.

Zheng Zhilong boarded the "Chengdu", and before he had time to report the itinerary of the third battalion to Zhou Kun in detail, a herald came to the deck of the "Chengdu", "Commander, the Dutch are coming over in a small boat and playing white chess!"

"Playing white?" Zhou Kun and Zheng Zhilong glanced at each other, their expressions glazed, "The Dutch surrendered so soon?" ”

"Impossible!" Zheng Zhilong shook his head, "The war is in a stalemate, the South China Sea Fleet has not achieved a big victory, how can the Dutch surrender?" It must be to ask for peace talks, or to get back that captured battleship!"

"You want to go back to the battleship? This is the trophy of the South China Sea Fleet, how can you ask for it back at will? Zhou Kun smiled coldly and said, "If the Dutch want to go back, they can go back to the emperor!"
