Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 839 Dog bites dog

The strategic transfer of the Dutch fleet came resolutely and quickly, much beyond the expectations of the new Heluo army.However, the Heluo new army's determination, quick response, and decisive action to eliminate them also greatly exceeded the expectations of the Dutch.

Due to various reasons, the Transformers fleet was only more than seven hours behind the Dutch. When the Dutch completed their negotiations with the Spaniards, enjoyed a good meal, and began to fall asleep soundly, the vanguard of the Transformers fleet had already appeared Jilong Port is out to sea.

The one running at the front is still the crazy girl Jiang Yan who killed five ships chasing Yao Chonggu's expedition fleet in the Penghu Islands with one against five. She seems to be born to be a pioneer, as long as there is a naval battle in which she participates , her Queen of the Wind always runs at the forefront of the entire fleet, never lagging behind.The pilot of the Queen of the Wind, a Taiwanese sailor from the Zheng Group, pointed in the direction of Jilong Port and told her that Jilong Port had arrived. She decisively ordered the anchor to drop, then raised the hot air balloon and jumped on it herself. The gondola of the hot air balloon, holding up the binoculars, peeped in the direction of Jilonggang under the guidance of the pilot.

What she saw was a sizable port and a fortified city with a strong Spanish style.

The Jilong Port at this time is not the same as the second largest port in Taiwan hundreds of years later, with an annual cargo throughput of 8000 million tons. The colonialists came to plunder wealth, not to engage in construction. There will be such a good heart to make great efforts to build the port.The current Jilong Port is nothing more than a limited transformation of the natural harbor so that it can accommodate more ships. The Spaniards have occupied it for so many years, and the changes are limited.However, its superiority as a large port has been increasingly manifested, and hundreds of warships and merchant ships are moored in it without any effort.Jiang Yan praised: "This port is really good. As long as the sea ban is opened, and a little tidying up here will be a lot of money, even if you lie down, you will receive money and get soft."

The pilot said: "This port is not as good as the one in Kaohsiung Prefecture! The one in Kaohsiung Prefecture is bigger, deeper, and can withstand more fierce wind and waves, and it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of large ships!"

Jiang Yan said: "So, we must take back these ports, these are all money!" After a lot of praise, he began to concentrate on identifying the ships.This is undoubtedly a boring job, so many ships are crowded together, not only can it be difficult to distinguish which is a warship, which is a merchant ship, and which is an armed merchant ship, although girls are born with more than men. Patience and tenacity, but after finding out the Dutch warships one by one, her eyes were still sore.

On the other side, the Panther commanded by General Ren Baoren, the commander of the reconnaissance squadron, was also doing the same job, but he was mainly responsible for finding the Spanish warships.

Fortunately, they never saw the Spanish patrol fleet coming out for patrol. This made Ren Bao and Jiang Yan feel like they were inspecting the enemy fleet - there were so many warships, so they couldn't stop. Is it there for these two people to review?

A total of 32 Dutch warships and 28 Spanish warships are all in the port.The slight difference in numbers seems to reflect the decline and fall of the two maritime overlords, the Netherlands and Spain: After more than 100 years of rampage, the Spanish bulls have been weak and unable to control the ocean as firmly as they did 100 years ago; The national strength of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is booming, and the wealth acquired from all over the world has been continuously transformed into powerful warships and huge merchant ships. They travel across the four oceans and continuously transport back gold, silver and spices for the Dutch, making the cause of the Kingdom of the Netherlands even better. building.

Of course, in front of the Heluo New Army, these are meaningless.They don't care about the nonsense of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Spain. They only know that these two came from Europe and occupied the Ming Dynasty's territory, and they must be beaten back!
On the fort by the sea, the Spanish soldiers also noticed that there were two huge balloons floating in the air on the sea. They had never seen such a weird thing before, and they all gathered together and pointed at the distance, talking a lot.Some people said it was two balls of fire rolling on the sea, others said it should be two clouds of fire, chattering, whatever.Although Europe at this time has already undergone a renaissance, various scientific research results are emerging one after another, and it is no longer as superstitious as before, but hot air balloons are too advanced. European soldiers have never heard of it, let alone seen it. I found it novel, and had a great time discussing there, without realizing how dangerous those two round balloons were!

This situation lasted for more than an hour. A Spanish officer was alarmed. He ran to the highest place and set up a telescope to look in the direction of the hot air balloon. He was shocked to find that there were two warships under these two chubby little things!His complexion changed drastically, and he roared at those idiots: "That is not a fire cloud, let alone a fireball, but a reconnaissance tool! You idiots, you are so stupid to let people touch the door of your house! Hurry up and report to the governor! !"

The defenders of the fort were in an uproar, and ran to a high place to set up binoculars to observe, only to see a huge fleet emerging from the junction of sea and sky, with full sails, rushing over the two balloons towards Jilonggang!
My God, the Virgin Mary, when did the Chinese come up with a pilot that can float in the air and use it for reconnaissance? This is too bullying!

The entire fort was in a panic. The officer swung his hammer and smashed the alarm bell desperately. The loud sound of "嘡嘡嘡嘡" resounded throughout the whole Jilonggang, and the commotion spread with the sound waves, and the whole Jilonggang was in a panic!After all, the life of the Spaniards is still too comfortable. The state of "no war on the Western Front" has completely paralyzed them in the past month or so. They never dreamed that they would be attacked in their own port, and the alarm bell rang , Jifeigouju!

They were in chaos, but Shen Tingyang was not.Jiang Yan and Ren Bao each recovered the balloons, and handed over to him the distribution map of the enemy warships and the defense map of the port that he had drawn with great effort. After reading these two situations, the fierce Jiang sneered: "Okay, we're all hiding in the port to save trouble! Launch an attack immediately, and don't let them have a chance to open the port to fight!"

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback, and shouted: "Admiral Shen, absolutely not! Our fleet has been sailing for two days and one night, and it is already exhausted, but the enemy is waiting for work, and there are many forts that can provide fire support. Now launch If we attack, our army will suffer a lot!"

Shen Tingyang said: "It's true that our army is a little tired, but the enemy army has completely relaxed. Most of the warships are empty, and the fort defenders are not prepared for our army's attack. They are in a mess. Where can I find such a good opportunity, I can't let them react!"

Zheng Zhilong also thought about it, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, it will be gone.But he was still worried: "But those forts are hard to deal with, they are very strong, and ordinary naval guns can't move them at all..."

Shen Tingyang grinned: "Then let them be more chaotic, lest they fire our guns and cause trouble for us! Let all the hot air balloons fly, put some grenades and explosives under each hot air balloon, fly to the sky over Jilonggang and blow them up hard. I want to see Xiyi fall into extreme chaos before hand-to-hand combat, and I can't muster up the courage to fight against our army!"

Shi Lang shouted enthusiastically: "General, I would like to board a hot air balloon to bomb the enemy!"

Zheng Chenggong shouted excitedly: "The last general is going too!"

Shen Tingyang said: "This job is very dangerous. It is difficult to control the direction of the balloon. If it floats to the mountains, you will not be able to come back!"

Shi Lang patted the dog-leg knife pinned to his thigh, and said, "The last general is not afraid! As long as he has a knife, even if he floats to the mountains, the last general can crawl out by himself!"

Shen Tingyang said: "Okay, if you are ambitious! Let's go together!"

The two little guys were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General!"

The Transformers fleet sailed in three columns and sailed at full speed towards Jilong Port. Every sailor looked fanatical, but maintained a terrifying silence and composure. This silence was more terrifying than the howls of wild beasts.The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of them, they completely forgot about their exhaustion, and they didn't pay attention to the forts lined up everywhere. All they had was one thought: "Rush up and kill Xiyi's fleet!" The whole fleet was like a huge The arrows were pierced into the Jose United Fleet with a whistling, that kind of domineering arrogance, that kind of indomitable murderous aura, which made the Dutch and the Spaniards terrified before the official battle.

They have never encountered such a fierce and terrifying opponent!

When General Erwin, the commander of the Dutch fleet, received the news of the Ming fleet's attack, his first reaction was that they had been sold!With veins bulging on his forehead, he pushed through the chaotic crowd and came to Governor Fernand. He grabbed him by the collar and roared, "Damn Spaniards, how dare you betray us!?"

Governor Fernan's eyes widened: "I betrayed you!?"

Erwin roared: "How long did it take us to arrive at Jilonggang, and the Chinese killed them later! If you hadn't colluded with the Chinese, how could they have come so fast and knew our whereabouts like the back of our hands! Our governor is really Blind, I actually believed you bastards who have no credibility, no sense of honor, and no shame!"

Governor Fernan pulled out a golden revolver and put it against Erwin's head, roaring: "I still suspect that you are colluding with the Chinese and plan to cooperate with them to take away the chicken coop port we have worked so hard for! You actually suspect us of betraying you? What the hell!"

Erwin roared like thunder: "If you hadn't betrayed us, how could the Chinese have come so fast!"

Governor Fernand said: "You know this in your own hearts! Damn Dutch, I shouldn't trust you and take you in because everyone is European!"

The two commanders twisted into a ball and looked at each other viciously, while the soldiers of the two armies were completely dumbfounded, wanting to cry without tears.Come on, boss, the Chinese fleet is coming to the port soon, you guys are still in a noisy mood! ? Can you, for God's sake, stop fighting after this battle?
Fortunately, these two people also knew that the situation was extremely critical and it was not the time to quarrel. Although they were full of anger towards each other, they calmed down after a burst of roaring.Governor Fernand withdrew his pistol angrily and said viciously: "Colonel, because of your accusation and distrust of me just now, and on the honor and dignity of a Spaniard, I will challenge you to a duel after this battle." !"

Erwin also looked unfriendly: "If I find out that you have colluded with the Chinese and gambled the honor of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I will definitely kill you, even if it costs my life!"

Fernan said: "Okay, I'll wait for you! Now, let's unite our fleet and beat the Chinese back!"

Erwin said, "I wish I could!"

Well, the quarrel was finally over, and the sailors of the United Fleet breathed a sigh of relief. They boarded the battleship as quickly as possible, regardless of whether there were shells on it, and set off immediately after lifting the anchor, ready to face the Transformers fleet.

Unfortunately, it's too late!
