Chapter 744 A Gift for the Emperor
The sea breeze was blowing, but Anthony's forehead was still covered with sweat, and he directed the battle with a livid face.

However, after only a while, he suddenly stopped.Both eyes stared wide open, staring into the distance.

He suddenly discovered that the warships of the Ming Dynasty did not rush directly to the battlefield, but took advantage of the terrain between Lubang Island and Golo Island near the mainland to encircle them. Catch them all.

Obviously, the Ming army had premeditated and chose this location in the strait between Lubang Island and Golo Island to launch an attack.Seeing so many lucky boats approaching on the sea, Anthony turned his head to look at his own fleet. He was entangled with the Portuguese fleet. If he retreated later, he might not be able to leave.But if they just withdraw directly, it is estimated that many warships will be destroyed and injured by Portuguese warships, and the losses may be equally heavy.

Thanks to Anthony's rich experience in naval warfare and having been the governor of Batavia for more than ten years, he had made many decisions. Therefore, he did not hesitate and immediately made a decision. Sure enough, he ordered each battleship to break out of the encirclement on its own and escape first. Let’s talk about it after we go out.

However, how could the Portuguese warships allow them to leave the battlefield so easily? The so-called beating a dog in the water is at this time, and it is natural to fight harder and harder.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the roar of the artillery, Anders was on the flagship, with a red face and bright eyes, staring at the Dutch battleship, and kept ordering the attack.

With a "boom", the mast of the Dutch transport ship fell, and the damaged hull began to tilt.At this time, it was as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed, all the Japanese people in the transport ship rushed out, seeing that the ship was about to sink, they grabbed their things and jumped into the sea.There were even a few Japanese people who drew their swords and slashed and killed each other in order to grab a wooden barrel that would float on the sea.

When the Dutch warships were ordered to flee on their own, no one cared about the transport ships.This one, one after another, is close to the Portuguese warships, and the Portuguese don't mind giving them a row of guns as gifts.

Of course Anthony saw it, but there was nothing he could do about it. The most important thing now was to keep the battleship.Otherwise, when the Ming army attacked Batavia, what would they use to defend?

However, even if he wanted a strong man to break his wrist and use a transport ship to delay the entanglement of the Portuguese warship, it would not be so easy to escape.

The strait between Lubang Island and Golo Island was not wide in the first place. Nearly a hundred warships and transport ships were already crowded here.Today, more than 200 warships from the Ming army have come in again, and one can imagine how crowded it is.

Anthony looked up and saw that the backward oriental blessing boats that they didn't pay much attention to at first were sailing in rows on the sea road they escaped from.And it's not just one row, but several rows before and after. The intention is very obvious, which is to block the way out of their Dutch warships.

"Turn the rudder to the left and blast the Kaiming Army warship!" Anthony didn't even have time to wipe off his sweat, and shouted directly to the orderly beside him.

The semaphore was waved, and the Dutch warships fleeing ahead began to turn, intending to bombard them with their broadside artillery.But at this moment, small boats were seen sailing out of the gaps in the large blessing ships of the Ming army.

But as soon as he saw those boats, Anthony knew it was not good.The Dutch fleet had fought against the Ming navy before, and the biggest loss was not the bombardment of the Ming army's artillery, nor the gang battle, but the Ming army's arsonist ships.

The arson ships of the Ming army were all small and fast, and they had many tricks. As long as they were hit, they would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being burned.It is only on the wide sea that we are not afraid of the arson ships of the Ming army.

but……

Anthony looked at the situation on the battlefield, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The Portuguese fleet was entangled behind him, and the warships of the Ming army were chasing him in the distance.And in front, there are so many Ming warships blocking the way, and so many arson ships...

"Don't let the arson boats approach, sink them!" Anthony could only order loudly, his head hurts, his feet hurt his feet, and he took a step to watch.

In fact, there was no need for him to issue this military order. The other Dutch warships knew that the Ming army's arsonist ships must not be allowed to approach, and they fired one after another in an attempt to destroy those arsonist ships.

"Boom boom boom..."

Countless shells fell to the surface of the sea, stirring up waves.

The Ming army's arson ship began to accelerate after breaking away from the large Fuchuan. Waves of waves arose around the arson ship. However, the Ming army officers and soldiers on the arson ship didn't care at all. They were drilling the oars and operating the sails. sail.

Suddenly, an arson ship was hit. The bow of the ship was suddenly broken, and water began to enter the hull.But when the arson boat on board saw it, he was not afraid at all. What was he still doing?

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery on the Fu ship of the Ming army also began to cover the bombardment.Although the accuracy of shelling on warships is indeed not as good as these Dutchmen.I saw that most of the subway bombs landed on the western Zhou sea of ​​the Dutch battleship, but there were so few that could hit the Dutch battleship. Although it could not sink the Dutch battleship with a single shot, at most it would only add some damage to the Dutch battleship, but it was more or less impossible. It can make the Dutch sailors flustered for a while.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery of the Netherlands, the Ming army, and Portugal roared, becoming part of the biggest movement in this sea area.

Water jets rising everywhere, warships damaged, and sailors shouting are the most common images at this time.

Finally, in the rain of bullets, the first Ming army arsonist ship crashed into a Dutch warship with a bang. , Just a little bit of contact with the flames, and a raging flame burst out.In just a short while, whether it was the arson ship itself or the Dutch warship that was hit, it was already a big fire.

The second half of the arson ship had retreated, and the Dutch sailors on the Dutch battleship didn't care about killing the Ming soldiers who had no ability to resist, and they were all busy fighting the fire.

But after a while, Dutch sailors jumped into the sea one after another from the boat.Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom", and the fire on the Dutch battleship ignited the gunpowder inside the battleship, making a huge explosion.

Looking at the surrounding situation, seeing the Ming army's arson ship approaching and setting fire without hesitation, at this time, Anthony had time to think, why, why did the Ming army suddenly appear here?Isn't it normal that they should just start?How could they set off as soon as they saw the wind and waves were small? Don't they worry that the whole army would be wiped out when the wind and waves became stronger just after going out to sea?
Also, why do they know that they will lead the fleet through here, they have already been here waiting for themselves?why why……

This time the battle came unexpectedly. There were many places that Anthony couldn't figure out.He even once thought that it might not be a trap set by the Spaniards and the Ming Kingdom.In this way, some things can be easily explained, such as why the Ming army is waiting here.

However, if this is really the case, there are many places that cannot be explained!

Did the Spaniards who came to Batavia cut off their ears themselves?They massacred tens of thousands of Ming people on Luzon Island. Does the Ming Kingdom not mind at all?The Portuguese mixed with the Ming army, and they couldn't deal with the Spaniards. Why didn't the Spaniards show up?

At this moment, Anthony felt that his head was about to explode.

It's over, it's over!Anthony groaned in his heart.

Although he saw that Portuguese warships were also destroyed, Ming army warships were hit, and their sailors were struggling on the sea surface, but so what?
The Dutch fleet is finished!

At this time, Anthony could easily guess that even if he could escape, there would not be a few ships. The coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and Portugal sent troops to attack Manila and achieved the goal of defeating each of them. Bada Via is also in their pocket.The army, the whole Nanyang, will be their sphere of influence!
However, he did not expect that Nanyang was originally Daming's sphere of influence.When Zheng He sailed to the West, as far as Africa, he was respected by Ming Dynasty!Anyone who dares to resist will be arrested and executed by the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
It was only later that Mingjun no longer went to sea, and Nanyang was stolen by them, the Western barbarians, and there were only traces of them, the Western barbarians, on the sea.

When Anthony was thinking about it, his subordinates suddenly shouted loudly, bringing him back to his senses: "Your Excellency, the Jim signaled that he is willing to cover the retreat of the flagship!"

After hearing this, Anthony looked up, and said with a bitter smile, "How did you get out? If you didn't see the warship of the Ming Dynasty, you are desperately blocking the road!"

That's right, all the Fu ships of the Ming Dynasty were also bravely moving forward, not afraid of the ship being destroyed, and often several of them rammed into the Dutch warships trying to break through. !

Such a brave style of warfare was rarely seen in Anthony's military career.At this time, he felt the difference in the Eastern Empire.Although the warships are behind, they are not afraid of death!

Of course he didn't know that this was the first battle for the Ming army officers and soldiers after they changed their name to the navy. They were all united in one thought: they must fight this battle well in return for the emperor's kindness in paying attention to them.We must let others know that the emperor changed the navy to the navy. This is the correct decree!
In the distance, Lu Xiangsheng on Lubang Island put down his binoculars, and said gratifiedly: "The soldiers in this battle have worked hard, and finally they have lived up to the emperor's previous plan, so I can rest assured!"

It can be said that this battle was also the first battle he took the initiative to fight at sea.At the same time, he also understood the importance of this battle.Only by annihilating the reinforcements of the Western Barbarians, the strategic intention of defeating each one will be achieved. Next, dealing with the Western Barbarians in Manila will be a big deal!
