Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

Page 67

Boom! ! !

The sound of the cannon became louder and louder, and the speed of firing the cannon became faster and faster.

However, at this moment, there were bursts of whistling sounds from behind them, and the sound became louder and louder.

Almost subconsciously, Governor Cohen turned his head to look behind him, his pupils shrank instantly, and he said in horror, "Enemy ship!"

The warships covering the sky and the sun were rushing towards them like lightning.

Exactly the same shape and shape as the enemy warship ahead of them.

And this uncontrollable whistling sound is the trembling sound of nearly ten thousand sails being blown by the wind.

The instant he heard the words, all the people on the deck turned their heads to look at the past, and their faces turned pale.

Brigadier General Andre was even more haunted, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and he roared: "There are still so many warships?"

Andre doesn't know the exact number, and he doesn't need to count at all, as long as he can see it with his eyes.

The bulging sails covered the blue color of the ocean, which is enough to explain the number.

What's more, the commander on the side immediately reported the result to him.

"Major Firth reports that [-] enemy warships have been spotted on the left!"

"Captain Fox reported that at least [-] enemy warships were found on the right side."

The news from the commanding officer made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Even Governor Cohen felt chills in his heart, and his pupils shrank sharply.

so much quantity?

Coupled with the battleships behind them, they are already surrounded?

They were surrounded! ! !

"We are surrounded!!!" Brigadier General Andre realized the problem in an instant, and immediately sent an order: "Open the artillery window on the left, put the artillery into position, and prepare for a two-front battle!"

If a battleship wants to maximize firepower output, it must maintain battle line output.

However, as soon as his words fell, there was a heart-piercing roar from the lower cabin: "The stored gunpowder is no longer enough!!!"

There was a hint of anxiety in the voice.

The fierce firing made their gunpowder consume a lot, and their supply ship was far away from them at the moment.

At this moment, they were struggling.

Everyone turned pale in an instant, and Andre's body trembled even more. His ships were all like this, and the rest of the warships were probably not much different.

"Don't panic!"

Governor Cohen suddenly stood up at this time, looked at the mighty approaching warship, and ordered without hesitation:

"Throw away those goods, immediately speed up and leave the battlefield, and head towards Batavia Bay."

"Order all warships to gather towards Batavia Bay immediately."

Maybe his order was correct, maybe his status as the governor played a role, or maybe his calmness affected everyone, and almost everyone immediately took action.

And the subsequent order was also passed on to all the battleships.

Immediately, the original encirclement of the word 'pin' gradually stretched into a long snake, and then accelerated towards Batavia Bay.

It's just that they never thought that although Zhu Youchen didn't know about their plan, he immediately sneered when he looked at the fleet moving towards Batavia on the virtual map from the perspective of God.

"I want to go now, it's too late!"

At this moment, on the virtual map, Zhu Youchen's fleet has completely surrounded them in a '0' formation. Even if they want to enter the bay area, it is already an extravagant hope.

Zhu Youchen has a virtual map, incarnated from the perspective of God, and controls battleships that have already surrounded them like iron barrels.

"Destroy the Dutch fleet today!".

Chapter 94

At this moment, except for Zhu Youchen, no one can see the entire battlefield clearly.

The Java Sea is too wide, even with a telescope, it is impossible to get a glimpse of the entire battlefield.

However, this did not prevent the people on the Batavia Fortress from seeing the blocked mouth of the bay, and everyone panicked immediately.

"Not good!"

"Enemy warships have blocked the entire mouth of the bay!"

"Your Excellency's fleet is blocked!"

Such news spread throughout the entire Batavia Fortress within a short period of time, causing a sensation in the entire fortress.

Countless people rushed to the walls of the fortress, staring at the sea with binoculars, but the black smoke from the artillery enveloped the entire battlefield, and they couldn't see any actual situation at all.

Although the artillery was still roaring, the enemy had already blocked the entire bay, and they were still in a panic.

Cohen may be just a governor of the East India to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but only the people in the East India know that Cohen is the king of the East India, and even more their pinnacle of stability.

How to do?

Everyone was overwhelmed, and they thought of many ways, but they still couldn't do anything.

Without a battleship in their hands, they were powerless. For a moment, there was an ominous omen in everyone's heart. If Governor Cohen died at sea, what would they do with the Batavia Fortress?

Suddenly, there was a chirping sound from the north, and it became louder and louder, even gradually suppressing the sound of artillery fire on the sea.

Everyone was irritated, but when they heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked at it, and their faces froze immediately.

But I saw, above the boundless forest in the north, a large group of birds were scrambling to fly into the sky, gathering in the sky like dark clouds, like a storm that kept gathering.

"How is this going?"

"Will it be an earthquake or a tsunami?"

"Wouldn't it be the circumstances of the engagement at sea that affected all the animals?"

"..."

No one knew the answer, but everyone looked at the flock of birds gathering more and more like a storm, and felt inexplicably uneasy in their hearts.

However, the battle on the sea at this moment affected everyone's heart, and no one proposed to go to the forest to investigate.

They didn't think about the direction of the enemy at all, the movement was too loud, and they didn't think it was caused by humans at all.

Moreover, the poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest, and the poisonous miasma in the swamp also discouraged everyone. Except for the scattered natives who fled here and there, that piece of tropical forest was a forbidden area for human beings.

This also made them lose their last chance to escape!

……

At this moment, the flames of war on the sea are intensifying.

"Boom!!々¨!"

The artillery fire was still noisy and shocking, but the sound of shouting and killing became louder and louder.

One after another, the warships were joined by Zhu Youchen's warships to fight.

boom!

The orange-red fireball exploded from time to time, and billowing black smoke shrouded it. Countless brave fighters from both sides were buried in the sea.

On the flagship of the Batavia, Andre looked anxious at the moment, looking at the entire battlefield from the bow of the ship, looking east and west, and the anxiety in his heart was infinitely magnified.

"Can't rush out, can't rush out. The range of activities of the fleet is constantly being squeezed."

Although Andre couldn't see the entire battlefield, he could see clearly as more and more warships crazily collided and squeezed their range of activities.

What does this mean?As the commander of the navy, he knows very well that the enemy is not afraid of them running away at all.

Thinking of such a result, Andre was terrified and even more anxious at the same time, and immediately said to Cohen:

"Your Excellency, we may not be able to reach the bay. The enemy is stronger than we thought, and they may have completely blocked the entire bay at this moment. Shall we try to end this battle decently?"

After finishing speaking, Andre looked at Cohen with a pair of brown eyes, with anxiety on his face.

It's not that he's afraid of death, it's already reached this level, and fear of death can't solve any problems.

However, what he is afraid of is that if they all die at sea today, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will definitely lose the East Indies, and they are the sinners of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Therefore, they cannot die, as long as people live, they still have hope.

Cohen glanced at him lightly, his calm eyes seemed to see through his inner thoughts, and he said calmly: "Actually, you know in your heart that it is impossible for the enemy to pay such a high price to end the battle decently."

"When the first drop of blood is shed, the endless hatred has already planted the seeds of disaster."

Andre's body trembled, and the skin on his face trembled a bit, but the more this happened, the more they couldn't die. This was the last sea power of their Kingdom of the Netherlands in East India.

Without the deterrence of this force, it is almost certain that within a year, Dutch merchants and merchant ships will become the targets of all looting.

It is also unknown whether the Netherlands can resend forces to the East Indies a year later.

Cohen said calmly, "Even if we all die in battle, as long as the city of Batavia remains standing, the East India will always belong to the Netherlands."

As for whether Batavia City will be captured, Cohen is very confident. Without 15 elite fighters who are not afraid of death, Batavia Fortress will not fall at all.

And as long as he didn't write a letter to the kingdom to report his work for more than three months, the kingdom's warships would sail towards the East India.

No one here is more aware of the importance of the East India to the Netherlands than him. Without the East India, the Kingdom of the Netherlands may collapse. The Netherlands needs the East India to maintain the Dutch economy that is getting worse.

Of course, he would not tell Andre these things.

Thinking of this, Cohen told Andre: "Don't be stingy with the artillery. Since there is no hope of breaking through, then destroy all the artillery. Don't leave any of them to the enemy."

These are all carefully crafted cannons of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and they must not be left intact to the enemy, otherwise the kingdom's cannon-casting technology may be lost.

Andre's mouth was dry, but (Wang Zhao's) looked at Cohen's calm expression and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just saluted, and then immediately passed the order down.

At the same time, Andre also raised the triangular red St. George's flag to the top, and everyone could understand the meaning.

In a short time, the bright red triangular St. George flag was hoisted on the remaining warships.

"Fight to the death!"

A real fight to the death.

The effects brought by different people are naturally different. After all, everyone understands that such an order must come from Governor Cohen.

Ever since, the Dutch battleship, which had no desire to break through, became more and more fierce in an instant.

However, everything is just the dying struggle of the beast, which will only make the lock around the neck tighter and tighter.

However, Zhu Youchen was not interested in paying attention to the changes on the battlefield for the time being, and just now his town center was upgraded.

This is the first upgrade after level ten! .

Zhu Youchen looked at the specific attributes of the upgraded town center at this moment, nodded involuntarily, and actually gave two new buildings.

These are two extremely functional buildings.
