"Boom, boom, boom......"

With the roar, the entire coast of Jakarta was covered with artillery fire, and under the power of large-caliber shells, the trench positions carefully purchased by the Netherlands were kicked up to more than ten meters of dirt from time to time.

The trembling Dutch soldiers took refuge in the trenches they had dug in advance as soon as they were bombarded by the artillery, but even then there were casualties in the places where the shells hit them directly.

Simon and Eivel also hid in such holes, which the Dutch soldiers now jokingly called cat's ear holes.

"Damn, when will these bombardments end?"

The deafening sound of bombing did not stop, and the dust on the earth cave fell in a torrent, and it was also a huge pressure to hide in such a soil hole at this time.

The other Dutch soldiers clutched their ears tightly and their bodies trembled, and they simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to Simon's roar.

After cursing for twenty minutes, Simon suddenly felt as if the world had quieted down.

At this time, he immediately climbed out of the hole and stepped on it with a stool, and in his eyes, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were coming to the coast in small boats.

Finding this, Simon immediately shouted: "Everyone is ready to fight at once!" ”

As his words fell, the Dutch soldiers rushed out of the hole in the earth with a stool each, and the soldiers in the first row lowered the stools and stepped on the stools to stick their heads out of the trench.

Behind these soldiers stood two rows of soldiers, ready to hand their loaded muskets in their hands according to the conscription muskets.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Simon was slightly satisfied, and it was precisely because they believed that they could use this method to inflict heavy damage on the attack of the Chinese Empire, so they chose to stay here.

At the other end of the trench, Eiffel was also well prepared, although he was very envious of the advanced firearms of the Chinese Empire, but he also understood that human eyesight is limited, basically soldiers can maintain accuracy within a range of 200 meters, beyond this value, the bullet basically has no accuracy, and can only rely on probability to kill.

"Let's fight to the death, Jakarta is mine." There was cruelty in Ivel's eyes, and he knew very well how valuable this resource-rich colony with a population of more than nine million was.

It can be said that before the establishment of trade with the Chinese Empire, Jakarta had been the economic center of the Netherlands in Asia, similar to that of British India.

Maritime.

Yue Yun and Lei Ming were using binoculars to observe the beach, different from the previous monoculars, now with the improvement of the empire's military capabilities, the two of them have used binoculars.

"The effect of this artillery preparation is very embarrassing for the Dutch." Lei Ming said with a smile, although he saw many Dutch soldiers entering the battle positions, he also saw the wounded soldiers being carried out of the trenches.

"But it's not enough." Yue Yun said: "The rest is up to the girls themselves, our shells still have to be kept for naval battles, and we can't continue to consume them like this." ”

Lei Ming was a little regretful, but he knew the truth that Yue Yun said, and now that the Dutch warship had not yet appeared, he might be holding back something bad.

His voice fell, and suddenly the soldier on the observation tower issued a warning, and the soldier's hand pointed in a southeastern direction.

Yue Yun immediately took the binoculars and looked at them, only to see fifty sail warships coming towards them.

Glancing at the soldiers who were landing, he said, "Half-crossing, they are smart, but they overestimate their own abilities. ”

With that, he immediately gave the order to the flag-bearer, and twelve ironclad ships broke away from the group of battleships and headed in the direction from which the Dutch ships came, for twelve warships were more than enough for fifty Dutch ships, because it was an unequal war.

"Is twelve battleships enough? This is no joke, and as soon as they rush over, our landing force will suffer heavy losses. Lei Ming was a little nervous, he didn't want his soldiers to lose their lives at sea.

Yue Yun was full of confidence, "Sending twelve warships is already enough to give them face, otherwise six warships are enough." ”

Swallowing his saliva, Thunder Ming's eyes widened as he looked at the approaching sail battleships, because he knew that these battleships must be loaded with their similar flowering shells, which were a great threat to them.

Eric stood on the deck and looked at the Imperial warships that had outflanked them from three directions, and he knew that a terrible naval battle was about to happen.

If all the warships of the Chinese Empire were pressed, he would not be worried, but now sending only twelve ships would really make him afraid, because this is a testament to the terrible nature of these ironclad ships, which is why Yue Yun will be so confident.

They were still three or four miles apart, and it was too late for him to escape, but as a Dutch soldier he obviously couldn't do that.

Gritting his teeth, he also went head-on, and now they were in the upwind direction, which was extremely advantageous for them, and at the moment of contact, they could use the wind direction to complete the "T" shape.

"General, can we begin?" On the King, the adjutant asked Yue Yun for instructions.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and they are about to enter the battle distance.

Yue Yun nodded, and he said, "Let's start, end the battle as soon as possible!" He did not have any worries about this battle, and in the face of the absolute power gap, the war was nothing more than a one-sided crush.

"Yes, General!" The adjutant turned back, and he said to the herald who was waiting for the order: "Fire!" ”

The small red flag waved in the hands of the herald, and then a roar sounded, and the thunder standing on the deck saw the ironclad ship tremble, and the conical cannonballs flew to the Dutch fleet in the distance with lightning speed, and the Dutch battleship led by the cannonball was hit by the cannonball and turned into a sea of fire.

"Do these fools think we're going to fight for T? Our warships are fighting in all directions. Yue Yun sneered.

The battleship was burning, the chaotic sawdust was scattered in the sea, the turquoise sea was dyed red in an instant, and the sea was filled with the mournful cries of Dutch soldiers struggling.

"Help, help!" The Dutch soldiers in the water shouted.

The blood quickly drew the sharks in, and the Dutch soldiers were able to see the sharks swimming under their feet, which deepened their fear.

But Eric was already stupefied and just looked numbly at the soldiers struggling in the water.

The other Dutch soldiers, all of whom were veteran sailors, had never been in such a strange situation.

In the face of this mode of combat of the Imperial Chinese Navy, they rushed to a deep powerlessness.

Only this was only the beginning of their fear, and after the shelling, the ironclad ships emitting black smoke approached them at an alarming speed, surrounding them in three directions.

Faced with this emergency situation, Eric's heart suddenly sank to the bottom,
