The eight three-masted warships are all over thousands of tons!

Like behemoths, with a forcing momentum, gradually enlarging in sight, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one side, one

That was the Dutch flag.

The huge fleet showed the developed shipbuilding industry of the Dutch and its strong strength! Among the ocean-going ships in Europe, the Dutch occupied 2/3, which was definitely a behemoth.

In 1624, the Dutch sent more than ten warships to the Far East. Over the past decade, they plundered merchant ships everywhere and found trouble for the Spaniards and the Portuguese. The Portuguese and the Spanish were at a disadvantage in their strength and could only be human with their tails.

The Dutch had a great appetite and often used violent means to plunder ships. In the Chinese Sea, they had looted no less than hundreds of merchant ships and fishing boats.

They have always robbed others, and no one can rob them.

However, last year, their fleet of deer skin, venison, antlers, teng, rice and ceramics were actually robbed by Ming people during their trade to Japan.

This was definitely a great humiliation for the Netherlands. The Governor Batavia was furious about this and began to gather strength since last fall, preparing to teach the Ming people in the north a huge lesson.

Zheng Yiguan from the south had become the main competitor of Batavia Company at this time, but the company did not have enough strength to several hundred him.

But after the company's investigation, the power in the north was just a small force that had just intervened in maritime trade. Not everyone could get rid of the tiger beards in the company.

The Governor of Batavia sent a fleet in early January and decided to teach that force a hard lesson and hoped to grab that high-speed sailing ship from them.

If retaliation is not carried out and the benefits are obtained, the company's board of directors will certainly question him. For this reason, the Governor of Batavia must plan a revenge and retaliate hard.

"Sir, they have discovered us in advance, as if they are prepared." The adjutant said to the fleet commander Colonel Mansterson.

"So what if you are prepared? They are like eggs. We are stones. No matter how much eggs are prepared, they cannot withstand the bombardment of stones." Mansterson waved his hand and ordered: "Speed ​​directly into the port to bombard the shelling."

"I heard that their cannons are very powerful." The adjutant said with embarrassment on his face.

"That's just the cowards making excuses for failure." Mansterson said disapprovingly, not believing in the situation described by the person who returned to report.

Two merchant ships escaped, but the two merchant ships were far away from the combat waters at that time, and the smoke was filled with gunpowder. However, the prisoners released by Zhao Yan were not trusted by them.

He rushed towards Qingdao Port like arrows and towards the wharf inside Qingdao Port.

Yan Shiliang looked at the fierce Dutch fleet and immediately asked the deputy general manager around him: "Have you contacted the First Fleet?"

"No, they went to the offshore for training, but they shouldn't go too far. If there is any movement at the port, they should be able to hear it." Deputy Chief Qian replied.

"Okay, order the artillery will fire within nearly one thousand meters." Yan Shiliang shouted.

"yes!"

Hundreds of artillery soldiers were ready to observe the Dutch ships rushing towards the dock in their respective turrets.

"Master Qian has an order, and fire another fire within a thousand meters!" At this time, a commander ran in.

"knew."

"Grandma, there are so many ships, more than the warships of the First Fleet."

"What are you afraid of! There are more than 500 land soldiers in our port. It is almost impossible for the Red Barbarians to land. If we play with shelling, can we hide in the turret, and we can compare to us?"

"Hehe, let the Red Barbarians know how powerful our shore defense cannons are."

Although the artillery soldiers had never seen any big battles, they were not afraid of it at all with the protection of the turrets. The turrets gave them a great sense of security.

“Distance measurement.”

"One thousand four hundred meters." The rangefinder reported.

"All personnel, take your place, prepare..."

"One thousand meters!"

"Correction of all elements..."

"The correction is completed."

"ignition."

With the call, the fuse on the twenty-two gate shore defense cannons quickly ignited.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

For a moment, the sound of cannons was endless. Twenty-two shore defense cannons set up around the docks fired a huge ball of white light one after another, and quickly roared towards the Dutch warship rushing into the port.

"babble……"

"Puff..." Most of the shells of the shore defense cannons hit the sea, and immediately aroused water columns.

"Yeah!" Psteson and a group of fleet officers were shocked by the sudden sound. Before they could react, a shell suddenly hit the deck of the "Amsterdam".

As if it was destroyed, the shells directly smashed a big hole and directly rushed into the cabin. The huge tremor immediately made the people on the ship stagger.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" sound came from the cabin. A violent explosion, an extremely violent explosion. The 33-pound shore defense artillery shells sent a call from the god of death in the cabin of Amsterdam. The deck of the second-level cabin was blown through directly, and almost one-third of the second-level artillery was hit by shrapnel and fell into a pool of blood.

The explosion caused a fire. The artillery soldiers who were shocked by the air waves got up in a panic, looked at the fire in the cabin, and shouted in surprise: "No, put out the fire quickly, hurry up, move the gunpowder away..."

But...it's too late!

The fire directly ignited the gunpowder on the edge of the cannon.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang! The gunpowder in the second-level cabin exploded. The explosion caused the deck of the second-level cabin to burn directly. Almost none of the artillery soldiers in the second-level cabin were spared in this explosion and all were killed!

Not only was the Amsterdam bombardment, but eight shells hit the enemy ships in the first round of launches.

The most unlucky Delan was hit by four shells, and one after another, terrifying giant shells hit the hull and deck of the Delan.

The hull and deck were blown away from wood chips.

During the four bangs and booming explosions, although the Delan did not disintegrate, it directly ignited a raging fire. The fire was very rapid and in less than half a minute, it had become a fireboat! It was burning crackling in the sea breeze.

The Amsterdam, which Pstesen was riding, had been bombarded and gunpowder exploded. Pstesen was shocked and fell on the deck, and had no time to react.

"Roar, rush, rush into the port!" Pusteson got up from the deck in a panic and shouted angrily.

"Sir, their artillery is too fierce to rush, retreat quickly." The adjutant quickly grabbed the messenger and shouted anxiously to Psteson.

"Huh?" Psteson looked around the fleet, and when he saw the Delan, which had become a fireboat and was constantly jumping ship, he was frightened and sweated.

"Retreat, retreat, all ships retreat." Psteserson wanted to escape like a frightened stray dog.

"Sir, it's not good, the hull is on fire."

"Extinguish..."

At this moment, the second round of artillery bombardment began.

"Why are their cannons so fast?" Everyone was shocked. It was only half a minute that had passed! Was the person who went back to report the truth?

Before their thoughts could dissipate, a shell fell from the sky again.

"Let's go down, lie down!"

However, this time the artillery bombardment did not hit many shells. The artillery pursued speed and rushed to the wharf. In addition, the Dutch fleet was constantly driving towards the dock, and the hit rate suddenly decreased a lot.

However, the Twenty-Two Gate Shore Defence Cannon was not launched at one time. The subsequent artillery fire became more fierce, one after another, and the more you shot, the more accurate you became.

The Dutch fleet was hit by a head-on attack. A quick ship was instantly hit by two shells and disintegrated directly in the explosion. The sea water poured into the cabin, like a big tree that was cut down, fell directly outside, and then sank into the seabed.

"Oh my God!" Pstatorson could hardly believe that there were such powerful artillery in the world!

Thirty-three kilograms of shotguns are not a joke, and these ammunitions are specially used for attacking difficulties, most of which are gunpowder.

As long as these gunpowders are blown up, they can form huge explosion energy. Although there are few shrapnel, the shrapnel inside the shells of 33 kilograms are enough to kill enemies within ten meters.

Only two of the remaining seven surviving warships were spared, and the rest were all bombarded. However, these warships were much larger than the two fast ships, and were all above a thousand tons, and had stronger ability to get beaten! Even if they were fired for more than a dozen guns, they could not disintegrate, but it was inevitable that they would ignite a fire.

If the hull is broken through and the sea water pours in, it will be powerless to turn things around.

After the warships of the Dutch fleet were shelled, the captains were frightened and hurriedly ordered the sailors to turn around.

However, the ships that were rushing towards the dock were so easy to turn. During the rudder turning, the Dutch fleet suddenly caused chaos. The warships collided with each other in the turn, and they kept shaking for a while, just like being rolled into a ball of twine, and the order could not be clarified at all.

Psteson's heart skipped a beat, and an unknown premonition rose to his heart.

Inside the turret, an artillery platoon leader laughed and clapped his hands: "The Red Barbarians' warships collided together, haha! Such a large fixed target, boys, beat me hard!"

"Yes, sir."

"Master Qian ordered to change to three-second grenades, hit their deck, sail!" At this time, a messenger rushed into the fort at a race-like speed and shouted.

"yes."

The artillery soldiers were excited and immediately replaced the grenade that exploded in three seconds and aimed at the Dutch warships five hundred meters away! This fixed target is a basic training event. They can be transferred to guard the port. Each of them is elite artillery, and the hit rate of hitting fixed targets within 1,000 meters exceeds 90%.

What's more, it's a battleship that collided together! The area is much larger, and it's only 500 meters away! If you can't hit this, you won't be ashamed to shoot a cannon in the future.

The artillerymen diligently carried the shells and loaded them into the chamber!

The Dutch fleet that stopped and turned around was in trouble. In an instant, shells hit their warships, and these shells were different from the previous ones.

These shells just flew to their deck and exploded with a bang. Some exploded above them, and shrapnel flew everywhere in the air, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the Dutch.

Some shells may have had some problems with the fuse, and they still hit the cabin from the deck and exploded in the cabin. Some shells did not hit the deck, but hit the hull. Before they could hit the hull, they exploded, blowing out a huge hole in the hull and the watertight compartment, and the sea water suddenly poured into it.

Yan Shiliang was observing the shelling in the command center. When he saw Dutch warships being beaten to pieces, they collided with each other, he was so excited that his whole body was shaking.

"Order, the offshore fleet encircles the Western barbarians' retreat and attacks the sails at close range." A bold idea suddenly appeared in Yan Shiliang's mind - to wipe out the Dutch fleet!

This is not impossible!
