Da Ming started to ascend the throne

"Captain, go and have a look, the target of the strange ship seems to be our fleet..."

Bolton shook his head helplessly, got up and walked to the bow of the ship and raised the binoculars.

As soon as he glanced at it, Bolton yelled:

"God, it's actually a warship of the Ming army. Quickly, notify the other fleets and get ready to fight..."

It turned out that he saw the Daming Dragon Flag being raised on the so-called strange ship.

In the command room of the Ming warship, Zheng Chenggong was also observing the red-haired fleet with a telescope in his hand.

At first they didn't raise the flag, the purpose was to confuse the red-haired observation post.

When the fleet was about two kilometers away from the Hongmaofan Fleet, Zheng Chenggong immediately issued an order:

"Raise the Great Ming Dragon Flag, and the fleet is ready to fight."

"Yes"

The Daming dragon flag was slowly raised, and the bow artillery of the five warships had already aimed at the sailing warship at the forefront of the red-haired fleet.

"fire"

"Rumble..."

With Zheng Chenggong's order, the giant guns on the bows of the five battleships fired at the same time, and the five shells quickly shot at the first-class battleship Batavia.

"Boom bang bang..."

Two shells missed the target, and the other three shells accurately bombarded the Batavia.

The red-haired battleships are all made of wood, and they can't resist the bombardment of heavy artillery. The deck of the battleship is directly penetrated,

The huge hull of the Batavia was shaken for a while, and when the shells landed on the second deck, they penetrated the bodies of the two red hairs.

"Hiss...quick, help your lord into the cabin to escape."

Bolton, the captain, and the sentinel witnessed three shells penetrate the deck of the Batavia.

At that time, he almost fainted, the captain and the sentinel could not help but help Bolton into the cabin on the second floor.

As soon as Bolton entered the command room, he immediately issued an order:

"Order, all warships turn right and line up, wait for the Ming warships to come into range, and fire together to sink the Ming warships."

"Yes"

The red-haired fleet immediately turned its rudder and formed an array. Except for the supply ship, all warships faced the Ming warships and were ready to fire at any time.

He told the truth, the red-haired ghost did have crazy capital, and the four first-tier battleships had more than 50 cannons on one side.

The four second-tier battleships also have fifty naval guns on one side, and there are also third-tier battleships.

On the side of the Ming army, for the safety of the soldiers, the Ming army who fired on the deck just now all entered the cabin at this time.

Li Dingguo didn't understand naval warfare, and when he saw the battle formation of the Red-haired Fleet, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Captain, look at the formation of the red-haired fleet. This is clearly a suicide. The battleship has exposed such a large area. Is it because we are afraid that our shells will not be able to penetrate their hulls?"

Zheng Chenggong smiled slightly:

"There is no other way to do this. The battleship's guns are all on the side, that's the only way to go."

Zheng Chenggong said, reaching out to pick up the walkie-talkie:

"Pass my order, the battleship turns right and uses solid bullets to bombard the waterline of the red-haired battleship."

"Yes"

The warship of the Ming army immediately turned its rudder and turned its sidestring to face the red-haired warship.Remember Biqu Pavilion on the mobile phone in one second→.B\\.\Provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Each battleship has forty naval guns on both sides, and five battleships have two hundred naval guns.

"fire"

"Rumble..."

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and more than 200 naval guns began to bombard the red-haired fleet.

At the same time Bolton gave the order to fire:

"fire"

"Boom"

In the past, they used to pull in the distance to fight the battle of jumping from country to country, but now it is completely different. They are all lining up and bombarding each other.

"Boom bang..."

The artillery shells from both sides kept bombarding the opponent's battleship, making loud noises, as if a large hailstone was falling.

Although the red-haired naval guns were much more than those of the Ming Dynasty, they could only leave a trace when they bombarded the Ming warships, and could not damage the iron-clad warships.

However, compared with the iron-clad warships of the Ming army, the Dutch Fengfan suffered a big loss.

Their battleships were all made of wood and could not withstand the bombardment of the Red Army's warships.

The waterline parts of two warships were penetrated many times by solid bullets.

Before the battle was over, Hong Mao's two warships slowly sank into the sea.

Chapter 401 Fierce Battle

Seeing that two third-tier battleships were sunk by the Ming army, Bolton panicked and hurriedly issued an order:

"Quickly, concentrate your firepower on the Hongwu, which is the flagship of the Ming army."

Although two ships of the line were sunk, the Dutch still had eight ships of the line, each carrying a hundred guns.

He believed that as long as the flagship of the Ming army was sunk, the Dutch fleet would at least remain invincible.

As soon as Bolton gave an order, Hongmao concentrated artillery fire on the flagship of the Ming army.

However, the warships of the Ming army were all iron-clad warships, and the caliber of the guns of the red-haired warships was not large.

Although Hongmao has the upper hand in the number of naval guns, the Ming army's warship guns have larger calibers, and their firepower is not inferior to that of the Dutch.

Under the mutual bombardment, the red-haired battleship was bombarded by Ming warships, and the sawdust was flying, causing heavy casualties.
