"Battleship!!!"
The terrified screams numb the scalps of the people on the deck below. They subconsciously looked up at the watchman, and then suddenly looked straight ahead, but without binoculars, they only saw a piece of blue.
However, Philip, the captain of the pilot ship, was agitated. He immediately ran to the bow, took out the binoculars on his waist, and put it on his eyes to look around.
In an instant, his pupils shrank, his scalp tightened suddenly, and the hand holding the telescope trembled.
battleship.
Dense battleships filled his field of vision.
ten ships.
Hundreds of ships.
It's almost impossible to count for a long time.
In Philip's left and right panning field of vision, the sea level was completely occupied by warships, arranged in a neat formation, and rushed over like a rolling wave.
Although Philip knew that the distance between the two parties was at least several thousand meters away, this situation still made the hairs on the back of Philip's neck stand on end, his scalp tightened suddenly, and his whole body felt a chill.
"hiss!!!"
"Battleship. It's a battleship. Enemy ships are coming!"
Immediately, Philip yanked off the binoculars, turned his head and yelled at the people behind:
"Hurry up and signal to Colonel Willis that hundreds of warships are rushing over!"
"Everyone, get ready for battle!!!"
Philip's roaring words made everyone's hearts tense, but the long-term training and obedience to the officers allowed them to pass on Philip's order immediately.
Woohoo! ! !
The urgent horn sounded from Philip's pilot ship, and the sailor at the stern waved the flag in his hand to pass the news backwards.
In just 2 minutes, the entire Batavia fleet received Philip's message.
On the flagship of the Little Tulip in the middle, Colonel Willis, the commander of the Batavia fleet, hurried onto the deck.
"what's the situation?"
"A large number of unfamiliar warships were found, and the number has exceeded two hundred."
"What? Two hundred warships."
Willis looked surprised, took the binoculars handed over by the adjutant and looked over, his face became gloomy in an instant:
"Wake up everyone and prepare to fight."
"Yes, sir!"
The adjutant immediately made arrangements, and the flagship moved immediately, and the orderly on board also used semaphore to pass on Willis' order.
In an instant, all the [-] warships in the entire fleet were in action.
The sailors and soldiers who had been resting were immediately woken up, and each went to their posts according to the order.
"Hurry up!!!"
"Sailors on deck, gunners in place."
"Hurry up, open the gun door! Hurry up!"
Amidst the busy shouting, the original cannons also took off their cannon coats, revealing their thick cannon bodies.
In the sound of clattering, one after another, the gunners pushed them to the gun positions.
· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
The originally tight hull on both sides suddenly revealed a door of black muzzles, which made people shudder.
There are fifteen or six guns on a small battleship, or twenty-five or six guns, and a larger battleship can directly launch thirty or forty guns.
And the ten large ships, including the Little Tulip, directly launched 56 artillery pieces.
The muzzle of each can fit into a grown man's head.
In an instant, an endless chilling air spread across the sea and sky, and the dolphins and seagulls that had been playing with the battleship disappeared completely without a sound.
In the positive sea area, apart from the crashing sound of waves crashing against the ship's wall, there is only the sound of gradually heavy breathing.
However, none of this could make Colonel Willis on the flagship feel at ease. On the contrary, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Too much.
...... 0
There are too many battleships.
In this short period of time, Willis received news from the front that at least [-] strange warships had appeared...
Five hundred ships.
Five hundred warships.
Even though they knew it was a warship without artillery, it still made people panic.
Even Willis's eyes were a little black, which was already five times the number of his fleet.
"Colonel, there are too many enemy ships. Shall we fight at sea? Or retreat to the port and stick to it?"
How to do?
This is also what he is thinking about.
There are too many enemy warships, and he can't take care of such a vast sea area.
Willis gritted his teeth. Although he knew the time was urgent, he suddenly lost his mind.
At this moment, the watchman above their heads screamed:
"There is news from the front, the number of enemy ships is [-], and it is still increasing!!!"
Eight hundred warships?
Is it even increasing?
Willis trembled when he heard the words, but he was a professional soldier after all, so he didn't hesitate immediately, and immediately ordered to the left and right:
"Notify the fleet, seize the upper air immediately, and line up in double rows to fight!"
After saying that, Willis turned to the adjutant and said: "Immediately contact Batavia with carrier pigeons to organize port defense."
While speaking, the entire flagship immediately began to turn the rudder, and related orders were quickly passed on.
The Batavia fleet, which was originally lined up in a long snake formation, immediately began to turn on the spot, aiming the black muzzles of the sideways at the Zhu Youchu fleet that was coming in a row.
War is imminent!
And the Batavia fleet doesn't even know how huge the fleet they are facing... Next.
Chapter 87
[Ding, your fleet found the enemy fleet. 】
At the same time, Zhu Youchen saw that on the virtual map in front of him, the fog of war that had been shrouded in it suddenly melted a large area.
Then, a large number of Dutch warships appeared in his field of vision.
Zhu Youchen turned himself into God's perspective, and immediately figured out the number of Dutch warships, and raised his eyebrows immediately.
"One hundred. These are the Dutch warships of the East India Company stationed in Batavia."
Although Zhu Youchen understood that with three thousand warships rolling forward, all resistance would be futile, and what his soldiers were pointing at would crush the Dutch fleet in front of them to pieces.
However, looking at the Dutch fleet gradually unfolding on the map at this moment, it seems to be full of courage and morale is still high.
The Batavia fleet is not afraid to fight Zhu Youchen's huge fleet.
Even at this moment, Colonel Willis, the commander of the fleet, intends to completely block the advancing route of Zhu Youchen's fleet, and let Zhu Youchen's fleet fall into the sand.
Call it arrogance or confidence.
Since the Dutch became independent from Spain, they have been fighting wars of all sizes, and they are considered invincible. They defeated one country after another in Europe, and only then did they have the Kingdom of the Netherlands today.
It doesn't matter if it's the tough folk customs, or it's the accumulated self-confidence.
However, it has always been a small fight between European countries.
It can be said that they have never experienced a battle with real crowds.
Therefore, when Zhu Youzhu's [-] warships lined up in an array and charged overwhelmingly, the Batavia fleet, including Colonel Willis, only felt the pressure, but in fact they didn't feel much pressure. horrible.
"The watchman will report the situation at any time."
"Level [-] and tier [-] warships aim at the frontline enemy ships, while tier [-] warships raise their muzzles and aim at the rear warships."
"All the artillery are ready to line up for shelling according to the tutorial."
They arranged their battle formation in an orderly manner, and even the Dutch fleet was holding their breath, ready to give Zhu Youchen's fleet a head-on blow.
And they did it, and even the Baisou battleships directly put up a parallel formation like 'two'...
However, when the [-] Brunei Harbor City warships in the rear also entered the field of view of the Batavia fleet in a mighty manner, the entire fleet was sluggish from top to bottom.
The raised sails directly covered the blue sea, and the crashing waves merged into roaring roars.
Boom! ! !
The sound of the mountain roaring like a tsunami resounded through the sky, the sea breeze stopped, and the waves trembled.
The whistling sound like muffled thunder stretched and spread all the way to the distance.
The seawater lined up by three thousand battleships gathered into a strong wave, directly shaking Batavia's battleship violently.
Within dozens of miles ahead, endless battleships were mighty, their indomitable momentum condensed like a stormy sea, and the teeth of everyone in the Batavia fleet were crushed.
Dead silence.
Depressed!
Dang!Dang!
Many officers directly let go of the commanding swords in their hands, the pupils of their wide-open eyes constricted, and an endless chill grew in their hearts.
At this time, they realized how terrifying the enemy they were facing was.
"Thousands of battleships? Thousands of battleships!!!"
Amidst Colonel Willis's deep roar, a face gradually became pale as paper, and the confidence that was full just now was as bloody on the face, and the trembling body bit by bit did not know where it fell.
How to fight this?
How to fight?
It wasn't that he was afraid, but that the number of Zhu Youchu's warships was too many. Even if he had thousands of cannons in his hands, it was not enough to smooth out this huge advantage in numbers.
In front of the huge number of [-] battleships, his [-] battleships are like insignificant reefs in the torrent, which will be washed away at any time.
But at this time, the head-to-head strategy cannot be changed.
The enemy is so fierce, his fleet must buy enough time for the defense of the Batavia port city, and delay the local fleet's landing at the Batavia port.
Immediately, Colonel Willis regained his spirits and ordered to those around him:
"Prepare for battle!"
"We need to fight for at least half a day for Batavia City."
"Raise the flag of St. George!"
In an instant, the surrounding people were influenced by Colonel Willis. Those who dare to gallop the sea are more courageous than ordinary people, not to mention the navy at the peak of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Immediately, everyone suppressed the horror and panic in their hearts, and immediately acted according to Colonel Willis' arrangement.
At the same time, the blood-red St. George's pennant also rose to the top of the flagship, and it was very eye-catching against the sea wind.
"Flagship has sent a new banner!"
"St. George's flag! It's St. George's flag!!!"
"Never flinch. Fight to the death and never retreat!"
