Wen Bangliang led the fleet and went to chase, but began to deal with the Dutch people who jumped into the water with the Marines on the land. The Dutch people were very aware of it and basically no one resisted.

Due to the sinking of a large number of Dutch warships, the river channel has been blocked.

Wen Bangliang commanded the captives of the Dutch people who had dived, and ordered the clearance of the river. There is no need to salvage all the Dutch warships for the time being, as long as the frigate can pass through.

The frigate has only 500 tons, and you can pass by it by just cleaning it up.

I saw more than 30 fire boats behind the frigate. They were filled with thatch and turtle oil. In a hurry, I could only prepare so many fire boats, all of which were modified with fishing boats, and a big nail was installed in front.

Such fire ships are very low-level and are far less useful than the Ming Dynasty's alphabet ships. However, this battle is a river battle. These fire ships can go downstream and ignite and put them down when approaching enemy ships, without the need to be manipulated like on the sea.

In less than half an hour, the river channel cleared a passage that could accommodate frigates through, and five frigates led dozens of fire ships downstream.

...Sixteen Dutch warships drifted in the river for a short time, and suddenly, on the distant river, they saw five frigates waiting there.

The hearts of the upper and lower part were all shocked. At this moment, the Dutch no longer had any morale. They were like frightened birds. When they saw the frigate of the Nanyang team, they all exclaimed.

"Roar over and tear them apart." The Dutch commander roared with red eyes, and everyone around him reacted.

As soon as the flagship rushed, other warships also rushed.

The other side had only five frigates, and they had sixteen warships. Although they were damaged to varying degrees, they still had combat power.

If they were to get close to them, these extremely hateful Shandong pirates would definitely be torn to pieces by them. Looking at the five frigates lined up in a row, they didn't plan to run away.

Although these frigates are fast, turning in rivers with limited mobility is time-consuming because there is not enough space to move.

Sixteen Dutch warships rushed downstream, and their momentum seemed to be so sharp.

However, when the frigate was still six hundred meters away, the bottom of the flagship rushing in front suddenly trembled, just like a climax, suddenly being interrupted.

"What happened?" the commander shouted, an unknown premonition rose to his heart.

"Report to the sir, the pirates dug up the ships and blocked the river."

"All blocked?"

"Yes."

The report soldier was about to cry. The commander ran to the edge of the deck with a few steps and looked down at the river. He saw that several merchant ships were sunk in the water in the river.

Looking up, the warships on both sides had been forced to be intercepted. After counting carefully, these Shandong pirates actually sank ten large merchant ships!

I really want to give up!

The commander gritted his teeth and thought hatred.

"Sir, what should we do now?" the adjutant ran to his side with a crying voice and asked.

"What else can I do? Pull the wrecks away immediately." The commander shouted. As soon as the commander's order was reached, the ships were busy preparing.

The Dutch prepared many ropes and tied them to the boat. Some sailors who were good at the surname Shui jumped out of the river with the ropes in their arms.

Although the first wave of fire ships was stopped by them, looking up, there were dozens of fire ships in the distance. If they were put down in one breath, the outcome could be imagined.

"Sir, let's surrender!"

"Yes! Sir, I don't want to be burned into ashes."

"Anyway, I still have to surrender in the end."

"No, we can't afford these Shandong robbers. If our warships fall into their hands, the company's interests in the Far East will be completely destroyed." The commander firmly denied.

"Sir, once our warships are destroyed, the company has no more warships. Do you think the interests of the Far East can be preserved?" The adjutant advised earnestly: "Anyways, we will surrender sooner or later, so it's better to surrender now. If we annoy these wise people, we will..."

"Yes! Sir! The interests of the Far East can no longer be preserved, so why not surrender directly!"

The Dutch officers around him all advised.

The Netherlands is a country composed of merchants and a wealthy country. A comfortable life often leaves soldiers without enough willpower.

The fleet commander was persuaded by these people and was immediately shaken.

"Sir, it's not good, they are ready to set the fireboat again."

"Surrender, surrender immediately." The fleet commander yelled immediately when he heard the report. If the fire really burned, diving might not be able to survive.

After jumping into the water, there are burning warships everywhere. Even if they can swim to a safe place, they are very likely to be washed downstream by the river. At that time, those wise people don’t search for them, and they will have to die in the rainforest.

The commander never hesitated when he thought of this.

What company interests, go to hell!

The white flag was quickly raised on the Dutch flagship, and the captains on the surrounding warships also knew that there was no possibility of escape at this time.

Seeing the flagship surrender, they also raised the white flags one after another.

On the frigate in the distance, Wen Bangliang held a telescope and looked at the Dutch warship that raised the white flag, and showed a happy smile.

Success.

Completely wipe out the Dutch Far East Fleet.

Once the Batavia company loses this fleet, it will be like losing any maritime power in Asia, and will become a slaughtered existence at sea.

It will be easier to rob Dutch merchant ships in the future.

What you can meet is that the Dutch will completely defeat East Asia unless the Dutch still has the strength to support it, but this possibility is not very big.

The Shandong Navy was about to rise by these Dutch warships, and the only thing that was missing was the skilled sailors.

Wen Bangliang immediately sent a frigate to take the surrender, but did not relax his vigilance. The closer he was to victory, the more he wanted to prevent the cooked duck from flying.

The surrender lasted for nearly two hours before it was completed, and the Marines on the frigate controlled all the Dutch.

The Dutch were very cooperative and very cooperative.

At this time, there was no capital for resistance. In order not to receive brutal revenge, they naturally did not dare to move.

However, the work of cleaning the battlefield lasted for three days before the Dutch warships were brought back to Palembang. Many of these Dutch warships were damaged and could not move, and they were all towed by ships.

After towing these eighteen Dutch warships back to the port, Wen Bangliang began to salvage. The merchant ships that sank to the bottom of the river and the sinking Dutch warships must be salvaged.

Some of the sunken Dutch warships can still be repaired and used. The burned warships are completely scrapped, and the damage is already irreparable.

As for how many of the sunken warships can be repaired, it is not known. If the keel is damaged, it will be useless.
