Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 649 Give an explanation

In fact, the plan of Kui Yi, the governor of the Netherlands, is also very clear.

The five sailing warships were transferred back to Zeelandia City to protect the inner port of Zeelandia City.

And the other fifteen sailing warships went to attack the logistics of this huge Ming fleet.

Of course, if this Kui could summon a storm with magic for a while, it would be the best way to deal with such a huge fleet.

It's just a pity that he doesn't know magic, and God didn't help him at this time.At this moment, the sun was hanging high, and although there was some wind, it was the kind of wind that could not stir up waves.

In this case, facing the absolute crushing of the fleet, Kuiyi can only hope to destroy the logistics of this huge fleet, otherwise it is impossible to win.

Standing on the top of the city, he looked at the sea with a livid face, and found that in the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty, there were only three Portuguese sailing warships walking around, always on guard against the fifteen Dutch warships.As for the lucky boat of the Ming Dynasty, it has already come to the coastline.

Seeing this posture, Kui Yi's face was very ugly.

If the attacking Ming army was not large, he would definitely send a musketeer team to block the coastline and not give the Ming army a chance to go ashore.

However, there were too many warships of the Ming Dynasty, and they spread out along the coastline. Even if they could block a section of the coastline, they could not block all the coastlines.

Faced with the crushing force, Kui Yi could only curse in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

He probably figured it out, Ming sent such a huge navy, it must be to surround them to death.

At this time, he felt a little regretful again.If the first deal with the Qing Empire was not to bring flintlock guns, but to transport food and other materials, then he would definitely be able to persist until the Ming army's food and materials were insufficient, or the arrival of storms and hurricanes.

But now, I can only hope that the fifteen sailing warships outside can hit the logistics of the Ming fleet, and God bless!

Sure enough, after the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty docked on the coastline far away from the city of Zeelandia, groups of Ming troops disembarked one after another and went to two places, namely the two cities of the Dutch.

"God bless, let's have a storm!" Kui Yi prayed in his heart with a dark face.

He is confident that he can persist for a month or two. In this way, if the Ming army keeps besieging, their ships will be a problem.

Stopping on the coastline, if there is a storm, it will inevitably damage many ships.Unless the warships of the Ming Dynasty can enter the inner harbor and berth.

However, the channel to the inner harbor was within the bombardment range of Zeelandia's artillery. To be on the safe side, he also called back five sailing warships.As a result, it is impossible for Ming ships to enter the inner harbor no matter what.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly, he heard someone shouting in a very shocked voice: "Look, look quickly, the warships from the Ming Kingdom are coming in!"

Hearing this, Kui Yi was shocked, how is this possible?The waterway is right under his eyes, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty are all far away, okay?
He looked up at the lookout post, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the lookout post's finger. Sure enough, he saw a Ming Dynasty warship far away to the north of Zeelandia City, in the direction of the inner port.

At this moment, Kui Yi's eyeballs almost popped out.How is this going?Do Ming people know magic?

This is impossible!
"What's going on, what's going on here?" Kui Yi was a little furious, and roared loudly, God didn't help me here, why did I help the Ming people?

One of his subordinates was an old man from Zeelandia City. When he heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly explained to Kui Yi: "My lord governor, there is a small waterway over there, with many reefs, and it is slightly larger. The boats ordered are not navigable. Logically speaking, they can't come in from there!"

It was because they felt that it was impossible to enter there, so they didn't build a castle defense there.

Of course, these Westerners did not know that in the original history, Zheng Chenggong led his troops to conquer Taiwan and entered the inner sea through this channel.But there is one condition, that is, it must be at high tide.

In history, the battle for Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan has been clearly written.Liu Weichao would naturally pass this process on to Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen asked Zheng Zhibao to deal with the Dutch from Dongfan, so of course he would not forget to tell Zheng Zhibao this key point.

With Zheng Zhibao's power in Fujian, he could secretly send people to verify before dispatching troops.

This time he came to attack Dongfan, so he chose to come when the tide was high.

As soon as Kui heard his subordinates' explanation, he became furious and scolded these sloppy pigs. At this time, he had no time to scold. He could only scold a few words, and hurriedly sent a signal to the five sailing ships in the inner harbor Warships, rush over to intercept them, defeat the Ming warships entering the inner sea, and block the gap.

After issuing the order, Kui Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he watched the five sailing warships hurriedly leave the port to meet the Ming warships.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the number of Ming warships entering the inland sea was not large.Based on the calculation that five sailing warships can deal with at least thirty Fuchuan, the naval battle in the inner sea is still a sure thing.

Sail warship vs Fuchuan, the advantage is mine!

At this time, there is no need to watch the war in the open sea, there is nothing to watch at all.The key situation is whether the Ming Dynasty will control the inner sea.Therefore, Kui Yi's attention was all on the inner sea side.It wasn't even just him, the Dutch in Zeelandia were all paying attention to the naval battle in the Inner Sea.Those who have binoculars, of course, will not leave the binoculars unused.

No, Kuiichi was also holding up his binoculars to watch the battle in the distance.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, put down the binoculars and rubbed his eyes carefully, and then looked through the binoculars again, the result was still the same.

This time, he was puzzled.

The five sailing warships haven't touched the enemy yet, so why is the warship of the Ming Dynasty smoking?
Is this awkward?
Thinking of this, he stared at the smoking warship.

As a result, after staring at it like this, he discovered another strange phenomenon.The smoking warship seemed to reflect light, and its color was a little different from other warships!
What's the situation?
He was wondering, but someone beside him saw it clearly, and immediately shouted in shock: "My God, what is that? Iron can make a boat?"

Hearing this, Kui Yi trembled all over. After such a reminder, he remembered, as if the ship was indeed made of iron?

At this time, the warships of the Ming Dynasty were also setting up their battle formations, and he could already see it more clearly than before.

Although the boat still looks like a blessing boat, which is a bit strange, it is indeed made of iron!
After confirming this, Kui was dumbfounded for a moment.

Can iron make a boat?How did you sink such a ship?

At this time, he also discovered that as long as it is a smoking ship, it is made of iron, and there are four in total.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Kuiyi could only comfort himself in his heart, "The boat made of iron is bulky, and it is worse than the original Fuchuan in terms of speed and flexibility. This kind of boat, even if it is made of iron So what? Sailing warships must have no problem dealing with these ships!"

At this time, the warships of the Ming Dynasty have already put on a fighting posture, that is, using the four iron ships as arrows, other ordinary lucky ships, and some small ships as auxiliary, there are about [-] ships, approaching Invading galleons.

"It's okay, it's okay, although there are a little more ships in the Ming Dynasty, the total number of guns on all their ships may not be as many as the combined guns of the five sailing warships!" Kui Yi quickly found another reason to comfort himself, " The flexibility is not enough, and the number of artillery is also small, which shows that the Ming people still don't understand how real naval battles are fought!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The gunfire of the naval battle finally rang out.

Kui Yi could see the water column flying up through the telescope, but it was not clear whether the solid bullet hit the ship and how damaged it was.Unless it's something like a mast that's been discounted, otherwise the solid bullet hitting the ship is basically just a hole, and it's impossible to see clearly from such a long distance.

However, he soon sees that something is not right.

Although there was gunpowder and the distance was far away, Kui Yi discovered that the warships of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be glued to the Dutch warships, and the Dutch warships did not let the Dutch warships distance themselves to bombard them.The distance between the two sides seems to be getting closer...

Seeing this, he became nervous again.

The advantages of the Dutch warships are strong firepower and strong maneuverability. Use the speed to quickly deal with these Ming warships, and then bombard the damn channel to block the Ming warships that are continuously entering the Taijiang Inner Sea. This time purpose of naval warfare.

But now I can see that the development of the war, I can see that the five warships and the warships of the Ming Dynasty are mixed together, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty are still sailing into the inner sea of ​​the Taijiang River.If this goes on like this, it will become more and more difficult to fight later, and it will be impossible to fight!

With the bursts of gunfire and the smoking ship, the sight on the warship became even more blurred.

Kui couldn't see the situation clearly, and was very anxious.Then I turned my head to look at other places, seeing the densely packed Ming army, which has been landing, the anxiety and fear in my heart needless to say.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the naval battle in the Taijiang Inner Sea again, and it seemed that the winner had already been decided.

Three warships with sails left the battlefield and fled towards the city of Zeelandia.

Although at this time, the pursuit of the warships of the Ming Dynasty was not seen, but the loss of the opportunity to block that damned channel already shows that the battle has been entered.Not to mention, there are two sailing warships?
Seeing this scene, the Dutch in Zeelandia looked very depressed.There are more and more Ming warships in the Taijiang Inner Sea, which means that they will only have the city of Zeelandia left!

Thinking about the possible results, they felt a little unbelievable that they would lose the naval battle in the Taijiang Inland Sea just now, so they all waited angrily for the people on the three warships to give an explanation.

　There is no city of Prominza at this time. There is a bug in the front. I changed it to Utrecht Fort. It is a subsidiary defensive castle of Zeelandia City and has little effect on the plot.
