Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

The fleet's artillery is almost reaching its breaking point.

Therefore, the movements in everyone's hands accelerated...

At this moment, the entire sea in northern Java has completely become a ship cemetery, and the masts of sunken warships can be seen from time to time among the floating corpses.

There are countless wooden fragments floating on the sea surface.

Although the fighting time was not long, Zhu Youchen had lost close to a thousand warships. Although there were only more than 2000 warships, the mighty momentum had not weakened at all.

Even stronger.

The strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the black smoke from the battlefield covered the view on the sea with a layer of dust.

However, the power of the Batavia fleet is not as good as before.

"Boom!!々¨!"

After another bombardment, the bombardment intensity of the entire fleet was much weaker than last time.

On the flagship of the Little Tulip, Colonel Willis frowned as he heard the weakening gunfire, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that everyone had done their best.

The artillery has also reached its limit, and he can't let the artillery be scrapped. He has to bring the artillery into the fort to strengthen the defense of the fort.

At this moment, after experiencing such a high-intensity battle, both the sailors and gunners were already panting from exhaustion, their faces were even darker, and only their eyes were red, but their spirits were still high.

Even he was haggard physically and mentally, and his head was even more painful.

This battle is simply torture.

Whether it is for them or the enemy, it is a kind of torture.

Willis had never seen such a fearless warrior.

"It took three full hours to withstand the bombardment of the sky, such a strong will makes people shudder."

As long as he thought of facing such an enemy on land in his mind, goose bumps would appear on his body.

However, this also made him see the extraordinary power of the opposing force.

It's just that the more extraordinary it is, the more it shows that the other party is determined to win Batavia, which is not good news.

In an instant, a haze appeared in Willis' heart. Although he was suppressed by him in an instant, there was always a thorn in his heart.

At this moment, the hoarse roar of the watchman suddenly came from above the battleship: "The distance between the two sides is 600 meters."

Although the voice was soft, it made everyone's scalps tense, and the sailors who had been slumped on the deck suddenly stood up unsteadily.

Willis immediately picked up the binoculars to check, and immediately took a breath, his pupils shrank, and his heart felt cold:

"Don't they know fear?"

However, Willis closed his mouth after finishing speaking. At this moment, the enemy could see that he was at the end of his rape, and there was no point in insisting on it any longer.

So, Willis immediately ordered to the adjutant next to him:

"¨Send an order to let all the ships throw away all unnecessary supplies, enter the harbor immediately, and prepare to defend the fortress."

"After the whole army enters the port, order the ten warships of the Horus Squadron to anchor on the port channel, and then light the warships to prevent the enemy ships from pursuing them. The rest of the people seize the time to move the artillery into the city."

Having said that, Willis was taken aback, and then continued with a stern expression: "Then set the whole fleet on fire."

hiss! ! !

The adjutant's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but gasped, but his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Willis.

Willis is taking every step of the way, delaying the time for the enemy ships to enter the port. If the operation is done properly, it is nothing to wipe out the enemy ships.

And sinking [-] enemy warships at the cost of [-] warships is enough to become a famous navy general.

The most important thing is that this is not a decision that ordinary people can make, but Willis made a decisive decision immediately.

The adjutant immediately saluted (Hello Wang Wang), and quickly passed on a set of orders clearly and unmistakably. The hundred warships in the entire fleet immediately began to make a detour, retreating towards the direction of Batavia Bay.

At the same time, on every battleship, sailors and soldiers were frantically dumping useless supplies in order to reduce the weight of the ship.

Although Zhu Youchen couldn't see all of this, he could see clearly from his God's perspective that the Batavia fleet changed its direction and was heading towards the Batavia Gulf.

"Escape back to port?"

Zhu Youchen immediately ordered Ma Chen's [-] warships to sail out to sea in his mind, directly crush the remaining warships, and completely blockade the entire Batavia Bay.

However, what Zhu Youchen didn't know was that at this moment, in the southern waters of the Java Sea, which he couldn't see on the virtual map, a fleet of more than 300 ships was frantically rushing towards the battlefield.

On the mast of the battleship, the tricolor flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is waving in the wind...

Chapter 90

"Crash!"

More than 2000 warships lined up, like an open net, directly surrounded the Batavia fleet.

Thousands of sails raced forward.

Murderous!

Although Willis has ordered the abandonment of useless materials to increase the speed of the battleship's retreat, the weight of the artillery still makes their battleship slower than Zhu Youchen's fleet.

The straight-line distance between the warships of both sides gradually approached.

"550 meters."

"500 meters."

"450 meters."

"400 meters."

The watchmen of the Batavia fleet nervously reported the distance between the two sides.

400 m.

400 meters!

The entire Batavia fleet became tense, and they were still several thousand meters away from the Batavia harbor.

On the Little Tulip, Colonel Willis looked through the binoculars, his face became completely serious, and he asked the adjutant behind him without looking back:

"Has the artillery cooled down?"

"The time is too short. Even if you can fire the cannon, you can last up to five rounds of shelling."

The adjutant wiped the sweat off his face and spoke hastily.

Willis gritted his teeth. He had to buy time for the city of Batavia, and immediately ordered: "Command the fleet, the first-tier and second-tier warships fire alternately in turn, and cover the third-tier to fifth-tier warships to quickly withdraw from the battlefield."

"Yes!"

The adjutant agreed without any hesitation, and then sent the order immediately.

There are no passionate oaths, and no beliefs about living together and dying together.

Soon, the entire fleet strictly followed Colonel Willis' orders.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The silent artillery roared again.

The short distance between the two sides determines that the power of the artillery is even stronger.

The shells were like meteors, sweeping Zhu Youchen's fleet again.

bang bang bang! ! !

The sails were torn, the mast was broken, and the shattered deck, accompanied by countless soldiers, fell into the sea like dumplings.

The surface of the sea that had not subsided for a long time boiled again.

And dozens of battleships immediately deflected their course and rammed into the nearby battleships, causing chaos in the original array.

boom! !

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Batavia fleet's [-] battleships below Tier [-] immediately changed their formation.

Sixty small warships gradually raised their full sails, and retreated towards the Batavia Bay first by relying on the gradually increasing speed.

And the remaining forty warships faced the anger of Zhu Youchen's remaining warships alone.

The distance between the two sides was shortened by another 20 meters in an instant.

However, it is already enough for the strike distance of the bow crossbow.

The soldiers who had been furious for a long time raised the bow of the ship and were furious.

The shooter in charge of aiming even closed one eye, and with the other eye aimed the flickering crossbow bolts at the Dutch warships ahead.

"Aim for the mast."

"Aim for the sail."

"Aim for the cable area."

"put!!!"

The commander's long knife fell, and hundreds of giant crossbows pulled the triggers in unison.

hum!

With a neat volley, black shadows flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and the arm-thick crossbow bolts roared and covered the remaining fleet.

Lightning fast!

The sky darkened in an instant.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

"Siege crossbow!!!"

Amidst the roar of the lookout's throat, the people on the deck of the remaining forty Dutch warships immediately evaded in a hurry.

There was fear on all faces.

Obviously, everyone understands that for ships at this distance, the power of the siege crossbow is no different from that of artillery.

next moment.

The arm-thick crossbow bolts are like rain.

"Whoosh!"

"Hiss!!"

The sail was torn open one by one in an instant.

"Boom!"

The tall mast was directly broken, groaning and smashed down with an incomparably heavy weight.

"Be careful!!!"

"Get out of the way!!!"

"Crash!!! Ahh!!!"

The broken cable was like a dancing python, sweeping across the deck with a whistling whistling.

Artillery, ammunition, and a very few unlucky ones were thrown out of the battleship.

Crackling! ! !

An unknown number of crossbow bolts were planted on the forty battleships in an instant, leaving tree stumps all over the ground like a felled forest.

There are sailors and sailors who are no longer in shape under the stumps every now and then.

The stench of blood, mixed with the stench of viscera instantly overwhelmed the smell of gunpowder smoke on the deck, making the eyes of those who rushed into it turn black and the scalp numb.

Those who survived were lucky enough to vomit uncontrollably, and sat limply on the deck.

"vomit!!!"

"what!!!"

Painful wailing instantly filled every battleframe, and many people who did not die directly twitched their hands, covering their wounds to stop the flow of blood.

Between life and death, no one is really not afraid of death.
