At this moment, Wernardo had only one thought, that is, to severely damage Ke Chenshu's two treasure ships and not let them leave. His flagship was several times smaller than the treasure ship, but at the moment it was rushing straight away without hesitation.

Every country that can become a hegemon on the sea has its inevitable reason, and the Netherlands is no exception. It is precisely because there are many people like Wernerdo who dare to defend their honor with their lives at critical moments that the Dutch maritime supremacy is supported.

As the commander of the fleet, he wanted to ram the treasure ship of the Qin army with his flagship, as if he had been martyred. This feat inspired other Dutch warships to rush forward first.

On one of the battleships at the front, Captain Philip waved the banner of dying with the enemy, and commanded the battleship with fire at the tail to rush straight away, fifty paces, for a battleship that was speeding downwind, it was only a matter of time.

With the artillery fire in the sky, the smoke of gunpowder filling, the sea breeze blowing, and the waves roaring, Philip used the burning battleship in front of him as a cover, commanded the battleship wall to cut through the waves, and rushed towards Ke Chenshu's flagship.

When he swept out of the flaming battleship, Ke Chenshu's treasure ship saw his battleship rushing towards with a fire, and at this time, the distance between the two ships was not nearly thirty paces.

"Quick, sink it, the enemy ship is coming! Crashed over! ”

Mo Yun pointed at the rushing enemy ships, and roared like thunder, at this time, the cannon roared on the sea, like the wrath of the gods, and the tongues of fire sprayed endlessly in the night, like a terrifying barrage, sprinkled in the night sky like a torrential rain, and the deck crackled continuously.

Liu Jing, who was under his command, had just rushed out of the cabin with a rocket on his shoulder, and was immediately shot half of his head by the raging marbles. The white bones were sensen, the blood splattered Mo Yun's face, followed by Liu Jing, Zhang Erxi, rolled on the spot, trying to roll over Liu Jing's corpse, but was still shot through his entire arm by a shotgun, "Ah! With a miserable scream, Zhang Erxi fell to the ground and rolled on the deck, bleeding from his shoulder

Mo Yun didn't care about Zhang Erxi, and rushed over to hug the rocket that Liu Jing had dropped. Then reflexively pounce on the side of the ship, aim, and shoot "Red-haired ghost, die!" "Chirp! With a thud, the rocket was volleyed and slammed into Philip's bow;

Rumble! The loud bang exploded, the flames rushed out, and the enemy ship was like being slammed into the sea by an invisible hand. A violent shock wave swept through, blasting the entire bow to pieces.

Philip felt his ship slump as he was tossed by the tremendous inertia and slammed into the bulkhead. When he rolled down, his head was covered in blood, and his bones seemed to be scattered, and the pain pierced his heart.

But he quickly climbed to his feet, and found that the bow had been heavily bombarded. But when the whole battleship was still carried forward by the mastsail, he shouted excitedly: "Crash into it!" Crash into it! ”

Philip's battleship was on fire in front and behind, like a huge fireship. The mainmast in the middle was undamaged, and the huge sails were fluttering, rushing towards the fireship.

Mo Yun and the others shouted loudly as if they were crazy, and one rocket after another burst out, intertwining in the sky like flowing fire, but the more urgent and chaotic, the seven or eight rockets were actually half high, swept over Philip's battleship, and plunged into the sea one after another;

But finally there were three more bombardments on the port side of Kuolip, boom! Boom!! Three huge fireballs bombarded the enemy ship to the ground, and the whole ship began to burn.

But due to that huge inertia, the enemy ship, which was burning all over the deck, continued to ram into it. The fire of that boat, reflected in the eyes of Mo Yun and others, is getting closer and closer, and it is getting bigger and bigger! There was a loud bang, the waves were enraged, and sparks flew up.

Philip's fireship finally crashed headlong into the stern of the treasure ship, and the huge impact made Mo Yun and the others fall and roll, screaming endlessly.

The huge treasure ship was struck by this, and the whole ship drifted sideways several feet away, and not far away, the cheers of the Dutch were heard boiling over, and tongues of fire erupted more rapidly

Their cheers, however, soon ceased, for the fireship that had been ravaged by the collision had been so badly struck that it had broken in two, and the bow and stern were rapidly cocked, and then began to sink.

As for the treasure ship that moved out horizontally, although the stern of the ship was ignited, the overall structure was not fatally damaged, as long as the fire was extinguished, it did not even affect the combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the twelve warships of the aftermath, as well as the ten clippers that had been twisted together with the Mughal naval warships, also came up from the two of them, and the tongues of fire erupted wildly;

Bursts of shells came through the air, a storm poured on the heads of the Dutch, the decks were pierced, the masts fell with a bang, the sky was full of fire, the sea was churning, the voices were shouting, the ghosts were roaring, and the battle was going on to this moment, and it entered the most thrilling moment!

With the suppression of the artillery fire on the flying clipping ships on both sides, the Qin troops on the treasure ship also rushed to the deck, and one rocket after another shot out as if they didn't want money, interweaving infinitely gorgeous pictures on the vast sea at night, and slamming into the approaching enemy ships, a ball of fireball rose on the sea, and the fierce explosion broke through the sky, and the sound of anger hit the sea.

If it weren't for the fact that the range of the rockets was only about 200 paces, the dozens of Dutch warships would have paid an even heavier price. Burning his eyes with the fireballs, Wernardo saw that the tide was turning, and he ordered the fleet to turn, returning fire while rushing behind the two treasure ships with a tailwind

This huge naval battle, fought here, is far from over, and it can even be said that this is the beginning.

The artillery of this era, the use of solid bullets and shotguns, the damage to the ship is far less than the grenade of later generations, a solid bullet hit the deck, often only leave a hole, unless it can hit the waterline, in order to make the battleship slow due to the flooding, the ideal is to hit the main mast, so that the ship loses power, but this possibility is very small.

As for the shotgun, it can hardly cause serious damage to the hull of the ship, it is only used to shoot a large number of enemies on the ship, and it also has a great destructive power on the sails, but the shotgun, like the rocket, has a fatal drawback, that is, the shooting is very limited.

Therefore, it is common for a naval battle to be fought for several days at this time.

Wernardo was a veteran of naval warfare, and despite his heavy casualties, he was able to command calmly. As soon as he rushed behind the treasure ship, he immediately used the "ghost ships" of the Mughal navy as cover and turned to the southwest, at this time, he had already lost a full twelve warships, most of which were destroyed by the rockets of the Qin army at close range.

Under the leadership of Ke Chenshu, the Qin army threw down the "ghost ships" of the Mughal navy, biting Vernado to the death, and constantly shelling, especially the flying clippers of the Qin army, after turning around, used amazing speed, like a flying shark on the sea, chopping waves and quickly chasing the Dutch fleet.

Wernardo knew the extraordinary speed of these flying scissors battleships, and he knew that if this continued, they might not be able to shoot a single ship.

So Wernardo made a surprising decision to disband the fleet. As his order was heard, the remaining fifty or so Dutch warships scattered in a daze, and at the same time extinguished the lights on the ships and stopped firing.

At their speed, as long as they are bitten by a flying clipper, they can't get rid of it at all.

But in this way, if the Qin army wants to continue to pursue them, they can only risk dispersing the pursuit.

This dispersion will easily fall into a disorderly melee again, and secondly, even if the Qin army dares to take this risk, because of its limited number of warships, in the case of one chasing and killing one, even if all the pursued Dutch warships are sunk, then Wernardo will at least be able to escape most of the warships without being wiped out.

Wernardo's sudden move really gave Ke Chenshu a headache, should he let his fleet be disbanded and chase the enemy separately?

If you don't separate the pursuit, will you just watch the Dutch disappear into the sea of night?
