Van Bommel tried to reassure his superiors, who had fallen into a rampage again: "Sir, this is not the time to discuss honor, being alive is more important than anything else, and they only gave us a quarter of an hour to think about it......"

"Fuck for a quarter of an hour, shoot me now! I swear in the name of the Dutch military that I will never surrender to these monkeys......"

Hearing this, Van Bommel sighed, turned back skillfully and shouted: "Guard, the chief's mental condition is not very good, he needs enough rest...... "Some things are familiar again and again, and you get used to doing them, such as "appeasing" your boss who is emotionally out of control. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Putmans burst into a rage: "If you are determined to repeatedly treat your superiors in this way, I will write to the Council to suggest that you be removed from the post of captain......"

After the guards took Putmans away, Van Bommel shrugged his shoulders and said to himself: "I also hope that you can continue to sit in the position of chief executive after this war is over, but it is difficult from the current situation, and it is estimated that you will soon lose the qualification to recommend the removal of me......"

The dispute took a long time, and the time for a stick of incense soon came. Van Bommel was hesitating to send an envoy over to negotiate again and end the war in a more dignified way, when dense flames erupted from the side of the opposite fleet, followed by the sound of roaring cannons - the other side opened fire brazenly!

"Oh no, they just opened fire...... Van Bommel was interrupted before he could finish his sentence, and a whistling cannonball smashed against the side of the ship, and pieces of wood flew in all directions, one of which even grazed his ear.

More shells smashed into the face, and the already scarred warship was hit hard again, crumbling in the rain of bullets.

The first mate of the "Fort Middle", risking being hit by a shell, found Van Bommel in the bow of the ship and asked in a loud voice: "Captain, I need your order, should we fire back?" ”

Van Bommel glanced at the fleet on the opposite side, whose tonnage was close to him, the gun windows were significantly denser, and the number was doubled, shook his head, and replied loudly: "There is no point in resisting in this case, we surrender!" ”

In addition to the Caron gun, the Wu Yi class was also equipped with a 12-pounder cannon, although the caliber was slightly inferior to the 18-pounder gun of the Dutch, but it was better in casting technology and more intensive firepower. Because of the use of white iron as the material, the cutting performance is good, the clearance between the bore and the shell is very small, it is close to the level of the British fleet during the Opium War in the 19th century, and is two centuries ahead of the Dutch, and the accuracy of shooting and the penetration of the shell are not comparable to the artillery in the early 17th century.

Van Bommel and the first mate were all experts in the use of artillery, and they could observe the superior performance of the opponent's artillery with the naked eye, and the naval guns on which they relied for their survival were overshadowed in front of such an opponent. Having lost the advantage of artillery, the soldiers were exhausted again, and the Dutch fleet had no capital to deal with its opponents.

When the first mate heard the captain's order, he glanced at the captain's room where Putmans was, and nodded, "I know what to do." ”

On the "Lingao", amid the rumbling cannons, seeing that the other party was almost powerless to fight back, Sima De asked Murong Longcheng with some concern: "According to this way of fighting, will the red-haired ship be sunk?" The general said that he would capture the prisoners, and the sailor would expand his army to deal with Zheng Zhilong! ”

Murong Longcheng replied: "Please rest assured, Mr. Sima, the muzzles of the guns are all raised, and they are not aimed below the waterline, looking lively, but the ship will not sink." This round of artillery is to knock out the luck of the red hair, so that they surrender convincingly. ”

The shelling lasted about ten minutes, and the Dutch fleet endured intensive artillery fire and did not fight back. When Murong Longcheng felt that the fire was almost over and ordered to stop firing, a white flag was hung on the mast of the "Fort Middle".

Sima De didn't know why: "Why is this?" ”

Murong Longcheng looked at it intently and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, the Yiren flying the white flag means that they are willing to surrender......"

Sure enough, seeing that the shelling did not continue, the small sampan was lowered on the opposite side and rowed over.

"Willing to surrender?" Hearing the other party's intentions, Sima De was overjoyed, "Then Liu Xiang is also willing?" ”

The envoy nodded and replied: "We asked Liu Xiang, and he said that there was no way out, and he was willing to surrender with us, just to save his life." ”

Murong Longcheng said to the envoy: "If you sincerely surrender, a boat will come over at a time and enter the port and dock in front of us, and someone on the shore will naturally respond." ”

After the envoy left, Sima De said to everyone: "Although Hongmao and Liu Xiang are already at the end of their crossbows, they should be careful when they surrender, so as not to deceive them. When they came, Battalion Commander Wei took the second battalion to receive the prisoners on the shore; Captain Huang led the special combat team to guard at sea. ”

Everyone responded: "Order!" ”

Half an hour later, the Qiongzhou battalion lined up the Wuyi-class battleships and troop carriers in two rows and waited for the arrival of those who surrendered.

The four Dutch warships were the first to come, and they honestly passed through the "passage" composed of warships and troop carriers, and docked one after another. The soldiers on the boat rushed out, put down their arquebuses under the surveillance of the rifle bayonets of the soldiers of the second battalion of the Qiongzhou battalion, and squatted at the designated place with their hands raised. The only noise was Putmans, the chief administrator could not accept the surrender to the Ming people in front of his castle, and kept shouting from the ship to the shore, cursing his opponents and offending his men in Dutch, and finally was knocked unconscious by a soldier of the Qiongzhou battalion with the butt of a gun, and the whole world was immediately cleared.

Next is Liu Xiang's fleet. The first dozen ships followed the Dutch ashore in an orderly manner, and when the last few ships arrived, a change of fortune occurred.

Liu Xiang came out of his boat, drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, the red hair is at the end of the road, we can't follow them to death, take these big splint boats, let's go back to Guangdong, and make a comeback!" ”

The rest of the pirate ships chimed in, and the pirates who had bowed their heads just now raised their weapons and shouted, "Take the ship!" Rise like the phoenix! ”

The sound of "bang bang" continued, and the pirate ship collided with the Wuyi-class battleship, and the flying claws were thrown onto the side of the Wuyi-class battleship, firmly hooked, and the pirates swarmed up with steel knives in their mouths, trying to seize the ship. This method was used by the Zheng family on the Dutch not long ago, and now Liu Xiang has used it on the Qiongzhou battalion.

Although there were some surprises, the Qiongzhou battalion had already prepared, and the whole row of soldiers appeared in the bow of the ship with Qionghai-style rifles that had already been loaded with ammunition, aiming at the pirate ship. Huang Mengjia stood up, raised his hand and ordered: "All of them, shoot freely!" ”

Gunfire rang out, and a dense stream of bullets fell on the pirates standing on the deck, and the pirates fell in pieces.
