Chapter 810

Taiwan, Dayuan Bay.

When Gao Huan was busy proclaiming himself emperor and the attention of all forces in the world was attracted by the establishment of the Ganchao, a naval battle occurred in the Taiwan Strait, affecting the pattern of the sea.

Of course, this influence has not yet appeared at this time. For the Central Plains, it was just a conflict between the vassal states and the barbarians. However, the subsequent development of the situation affected the world and eventually led to the confrontation between the two major camps.

The Dutch and Spaniards in the West-Holland United Fleet were each ill-flicted, which led to the failure of the fleet's plan to attack Tamsui Port.

Seeing the Zheng family's reinforcements rushed to Tamsui Port, the West-Holland fleet had to withdraw its officers first.

What they did not expect was that shortly after the Dutch fleet came out to attack Tamsui Port, the Zheng family's fleet set off from Xiamen, first went to Penghu to rest, and then rushed to the senior officials.

At this time, the officials were empty, and Zheng Hongkui led the navy and rushed directly into the officials' Bay after a fierce artillery battle.

When the West-Holland fleet returned to the senior officer, he was surprised to find that the Dutch East India Company had a colony on Taiwan Island, whose surname was Zheng.

Chikan Fort on the island surrendered to the Zheng army shortly after the Zheng army landed, leaving only the Rhlan Chateau built on the island, and was still holding on to resist.

Seeing the Zheng army attacking Dayuan Bay, the commander of the Dutch fleet, Kaowu was furious and ordered the attack on the Zheng army fleet in Dayuan Bay, with the intention of recapturing the colony.

The West-Holland Joint Fleet lined up on the sea, slamming the Daman Bay, suppressing the Zheng army in the bay.

At this time, Zheng Sen led the fleet from behind, including the Netherlands, Spain, Ganchao and Luzon fleets, and fought fiercely in the waters of the Grand Master.

The rumbling sound of cannons was heard, and the sea was filled with smoke, water columns were rising everywhere, sinking warships, and swimming soldiers.

On the sea, a Spanish gunship was ignited by a fireboat, igniting a raging fire. The Spanish on the ship were lowering the boat to escape, and people kept jumping into the water on the deck.

On the wide sea, more than ten ships sank one after another, and a group of soldiers who fell into the water swam desperately to avoid being swept into the bottom of the water by the whirlpool.

The scene of nearly a thousand warships fighting outside the sea was both magnificent and tragic.

At this time, the three-masted gunships on both sides were still firing against each other for more than one mile, and the battle was extremely fierce.

On Zheng Jun's flagship, Zheng Sen held the broken helm with his hands and shouted loudly: "Recharge quickly! Hit their side!"

Several large holes were broken on the side of the Zheng army warship, and there were large pieces of blood and wood chips on the deck. The injured soldiers were just dragged aside, and the gunners were anxiously loading them again.

While filling the cannon chamber and compacting the shells, the soldiers looked up at the enemy warships lined up in a panic.

On the deck of the West-Holland fleet opposite, the gunners were also loading artillery, and were about to push the cannons out of the cannon window again and prepare to fire.

"It's ready!" the gunner shouted anxiously.

"Hurry and hurry!" The officer urged and helped push the cannon into the cannon position.

At this time, the dark muzzle had just stretched out from the gun window, and the gunner lit the lead.

"Boom boom boom!" Almost at the same time, the sides of the two warships opened fire and fired at the same time.

There were loud noises, gunpowders filled with smoke, and shells were sprayed out, hundreds of shells intertwined on the sea surface, roaring at the other side.

The shells fell into the sea, and the water column soared into the sky, hitting their respective sideways, and the ship's side exploded, and the gunner behind them fell down.

After the shelling, the deck was in chaos, and the injured sailors began to scream. They were nailed by broken wood, and some people inserted a piece of wood chip into their eye sockets, and their faces were covered with blood.

"Hurry! Fire again!" Zheng Sen shouted loudly.

The fleet is too close to each round of artillery will cause great damage. Whoever shoots one more round will win.

At this time, there were few gunners who could stand on the deck. Zheng Jun soldiers dragged their injured body and loaded the artillery with difficulty.

Zheng Sen clenched his fists, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

The West-Holland Joint Fleet opposite has twice the gunboats that of the Chinese navy. If they were asked to fire first, the Chinese fleet would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

At this time, the gunners raced against time to load again, but the West-Holland fleet on the sea suddenly adjusted its sails and sailed south.

Seeing this, the Zheng soldiers on the beating immediately shouted excitedly: "Red-Fei is going to run away!"

More than 40 gunboats in the West and the Netherlands, fifteen gunboats of the Ganjun and the Zheng family, and more than 1,000 sea boats of all sizes, fought from morning to sunset.

The West-Dutch coalition sank eight gunboats, and the pirate ships suffered most of the losses, which was a heavy loss.

The Chinese fleet suffered losses, with six gunboats sunk and more than one hundred large and small Fu Ships.

At this time, the powerful firepower of the West-Holland Combined Fleet had been shown, but it was not at a disadvantage. It was just that the West-Holland Combined Fleet consumed a large amount of gunpowder and supplies in Tamsui, but it was not replenished after arriving at the senior officers. There was no more gunpowder and shells until now.

Zheng Sen turned his head and looked at it quickly. Sure enough, he saw the Red Mauyi's fleet. He did not continue to load and shoot, but Yang Fan evacuated south.

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He wiped the smoke from his face and shouted loudly, "Continue to fire the cannon! Chase me!"

Five or six hundred ships chased the West-Holland fleet and sailed towards Luzon, but the speed of Western-Armored gunships was higher than that of China's lucky ships.

The Zheng family and the Ganjun fleet chased for a while, and saw that the distance was getting farther and farther, they gradually stopped chasing.

Hundreds of sea ships on the sea surface were distributed on the sea surface of Dayuan Bay, forming a huge matrix, and the surviving soldiers stood on the deck.

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

Cheers sounded from Zheng Sen's flagship, and the sailors and soldiers on various ships cheered excitedly.

On the Ganguo warship, Gu Sanmazi, who was transferred to the Nanyang Navy, had just experienced a fierce naval battle. Listening to the cheers of each ship, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this time, as the warships left the range of the Jelan Champions, the artillery on the fort stopped roaring.

The smoke of gunpowder disappeared, and the Taiwan Governor of the East India Company stood on the fortress, looking at the fleeing West-Holland fleet, his face full of annoyance.

On all levels of the bastion, Dutch soldiers looked at the evacuated fleet and remained silent, desperate and helpless, spreading in the castle.

At this time, the West-Holland United Fleet got rid of the pursuit of the Chinese fleet. Commander Kau stood at the stern, looking at the direction of the generals, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Damn Chinese, the Netherlands will definitely make you pay the price! From now on, your coast will not be peaceful, and no ship can ever imagine Malacca!"

The West-Holland fleet slowly left the battlefield. After they sailed south for a distance, the Spanish fleet hurriedly retreated to Manila to rest, while the Dutch fleet headed to Batavia to prepare for replenishing ammunition and freshwater before returning to rescue the Jelanzhe Castle.
