After ordering, the three lucky ships immediately dispersed and approached the Dutch fleet under the command of Su Buheng and two other captains.

Although the Dutch were very embarrassed by the previous shelling and rocket bombing, they did not lose their fighting spirit. Except for the Batavia, whose mast was blown off, and the battleship with five or six holes blown out, the sailors on the other two warships responded quickly, put out the fire, and urgently repaired the sails.

Before Van Devin could order, the other deeply angry captains commanded the warships and armed merchant ships to approach the three hateful blessed ships.

In this era of chaotic command, the captain has a very high degree of independence, and the experienced captain has become an important factor in the success or failure of the battle.

The two Dutch warships that could still move came in a fierce manner, and their speed was obviously better than the three lucky ships in the First Fleet. The other five armed merchant ships, because they were full of cargo, were obviously not as fast as those converted into warships.

When the two sides were 600 meters away, an artillery battle broke out again. The Qi Jiguang turned and the side artillery directly hedged a Dutch warship to launch an artillery attack.

Two grenades hit the battleship, one of which exploded directly above the deck, sweeping down the Dutch soldiers on the deck.

But the warship did not lose its combat capability, but continued to approach Qi Jiguang. Zhang Hang, the captain of Qi Jiguang, immediately ordered to retreat, wanting to retreat beyond the range of the enemy ship's cannon.

However, this intention went bankrupt because of the slow speed. Soon the Qi Jiguang was bitten by the Dutch warship, and Zhang Hang had to stop. The two sides were only three hundred meters apart and had an artillery battle side by side.

Although the Dutch warship was not as huge as the Batavia, it was also equipped with forty artillery on the side, twenty of which were large caliber heavy artillery.

In anger, the Dutch gunners finally fired their first shot. More than a dozen shells hit the hull of Qi Jiguang, and four shells hit the deck, causing five or six sailors to suffer casualties.

However, because it was a solid bullet, it did not cause much damage to the lucky ship.

The Qi Jiguang immediately launched a counterattack. A total of 27 artillery pieces of the 165mm cannon, 125mm cannon and 75mm cannon all roared. These 27 shells actually hit. It was easy for the artillery to hit the target at a distance of 300 meters.

The shells knocked the Dutch warship into pieces and flew across the wood, and most of them hit the deck of the Dutch warship. The deck was covered by shrapnel from the grenades for a moment. Some shells shot into the lower cabin from the deck, causing an explosion in the cabin.

After the explosion, more than half of the Dutch soldiers on the deck were killed or injured, but their nightmare was far from over. The rocket soldiers on the Qi Jiguang were constantly firing rockets at the warship.

Several musketeers even grabbed the rocket's wooden pole and held a fire stick at the enemy ship opposite. After the rocket made a whistling sound, the musketeer grabbed it in his hand and did not release the rocket until two seconds later. The rocket flew directly over the Dutch warship, and exploded in mid-air with a bang. The shrapnel rage over the Dutch warship, sweeping several Dutch soldiers to the ground.

However, not all soldiers have the courage to do that. Most soldiers can only rely on launchers. After all, launching in their hands is too difficult to control.

The foremast of the warship was directly blown off by the shells and was ignited by the rockets. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Hang hurriedly stopped the soldiers who wanted to continue firing the rockets.

The sails of the Dutch warship were ignited in a fire and could only sank in place and no longer have the ability to move.

The situation on the Yuefei side was relatively bad. The captain of the Yuefei was bitten by another Dutch warship and was besieged by two armed merchant ships.

Su Buheng's flagship was attacking the other three armed merchant ships, and it could also be said to be besieged by those three armed merchant ships. However, because the speed was faster and obviously took the initiative, Zhang Hang hurriedly directed the crew to rush to support the Yuefei.

The Yuefei was not at a disadvantage under the siege of a warship and two armed merchant ships. The Yuefei suddenly turned around and pulled his sails, and directly crashed into the Dutch warship and an armed merchant ship. The Dutch warship and armed merchant ships quickly turned around and penetrated, and the side sides of the three ships were opposite, with a distance of only more than ten meters.

The battle between hard and hard artillery began quickly. Both sides came and went, and the shells made the hull fly towards the wood chips. However, the Dutch tragedy happened again.

Within the time when the Dutch fired one shell, the Yuefei actually fired four shells. After the Dutch warship fired one shell, it was hit by four face-to-face shells.

The distance between the two sides was only more than ten meters, and there was no hit rate problem at all. After the four guns, nearly half of the Dutch gunners were directly killed in the cabin by the shells fired by the Yue Fei. However, there were also casualties on the Yue Fei, and most of the casualties were soldiers on the deck.

The soldiers in the hull were still safe. After all, even if the solid bullet penetrated the hull, it would not have much lethality. This is why the naval battles in this era could even last for seven or eight hours.

However, the grenades used by the First Fleet changed this phenomenon. Each shell hit can cause huge lethality to the enemy ship.

Another armed merchant ship was at this time to reach the head of Qi Ji and formed a T-shaped silhouette of Qi Jiguang. The armed merchant ship bombed Yue Fei. The bow gunner of Yue Fei was directly killed in the shelling. Yue Fei's main sail was hit by a chain bomb, losing its ability to move.

At this time, Qi Jiguang arrived and launched a fierce shelling on the armed merchant ship. But soon, the Batavia and the leaked warship arrived and formed a siege on Qi Jiguang.

Su Buheng's Wei Qing was dealing with the three armed merchant ships and had successfully destroyed the sails of the two armed merchant ships. Su Buheng abandoned the remaining armed merchant ships and hurried to support Yue Feihao and Qi Jiguang.

The scene was in chaos, even out of control, and it was completely a tough fight.

But the Dutch artillery fired a shell, and the First Fleet's artillery fired four. At this time, the Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang completely abandoned their tactics.

Although it was three warships and three armed merchant ships to siege the First Fleet, the Dutch were suppressed to death.

Wherever the guns were still firing, the shells of the First Fleet were hit. The Dutch, both the captain and the crew, felt extremely frightened.

In the 23rd minute, the Prolings, who besieged Yue Fei, disintegrated and sank in the fire under the circumcision and attacks of Wei Qing and the continuous attacks of Yue Fei.

The sinking of the Prins completely lost the fighting spirit of the Dutch fleet. The Batavia dragged the hull that was completely paralyzed and wounded, slowly wanted to escape, but the speed was really unsatisfactory. The front mast and main mast were blown off and were barely driven by the rear mast.

Wen Bangliang immediately discovered the intention of the Batavia and immediately reminded Su Buheng. Su Buheng quickly turned the bow of the ship and fired a round of shells at the sails of the Batavia. After the shells were bombed, the Batavia was completely paralyzed.

When the Dutch people on other Dutch warships saw that Van Devin wanted to run, they couldn't help but curse on the boat, but they couldn't run even if they wanted to run. Their sails had long been destroyed by Su Buheng. At the same time, the sails of Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang were also destroyed, and only the Wei Qing was left on the field.

In order not to let the cooked ducks fly, Su Buheng began to attack the sails on Dutch warships one by one.

In the 35th minute, three armed merchant ships shook out white flags, and the Pedmos also shook out white flags. The artillery battle finally stopped slowly, and the thick smoke that filled the sea finally dissipated. Su Buheng shook out the flag words and ordered Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang to withdraw from the battle and repair the sails.

Then Su Buheng began to deal with the Batavia. The Batavia had completely lost its ability to fight back. Su Buheng directly joined the sidelines, and the sailors on the Wei Qing boarded the Batavia directly.

After boarding the Batavia, the sailors saw a tragic scene, with Dutch corpses everywhere, some of which were blown into pieces by shells, and blood and blood were splattered everywhere.

After the remaining Dutch sailors saw the logged-in Wei Qing sailors, they had to surrender obediently. Batavia was 48.8 meters high, 11 meters wide, 5.3 meters of draft, and 46 guns. The displacement reached more than 1,200 tons, which was twice that of the lucky ship.

The ship has the main feature of a Dutch ship, that is, its shell plate has two layers, which is why the Batavia was hit hard but did not sink.

The ship was stranded on the West Coast of Australia in 1629 and was eventually dragged out.

Van Dewen was lifted out of the cabin. After seeing the huge lethal power of the grenade, the guy hid directly in the cabin, and the battle was left to his adjutant to complete.

As a result, his adjutant was killed by the bomb during the battle. He sent another subordinate to command the battle, but he was killed by the bomb again and finally decided to run away.

After controlling the Batavia, Wei Qing turned to pursue the merchant ships full of cargo, and the remaining endgames were cleaned up by Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang.

...On the sixth day of June, the Yuefei, who had sailed on the sea for three days, returned to Qingdao Port with eight captured warships. Zhao Yan was overjoyed after receiving the news and rushed to Qingdao overnight to count the results.

The eight warships captured this time, Batavia, the largest, with a displacement of 1,200 tons, followed by Pedmos, with a displacement of 1,000 tons, and finally Braswick, with a displacement of 900 tons.

These three warships are all three-masted warships, which are much more difficult to operate than Fu Ship, but have a large tonnage. In addition, the other five armed merchant ships also have displacements ranging from 1,000 to 700 tons, but they are mainly used to transport cargo. They are similar to Fu Ship and are not specially designed to fight.

But for Zhao Yan, who lacks warships, as long as these armed merchant ships are modified, they are better than Fu Ship. The disadvantage of Fu Ship is that their speed is too slow, and the speed of these five cargo ships is obviously faster than Fu Ship.

In addition to warships, the armed merchant ships and the other three warships also loaded cargo worth nearly two million taels. Although this naval battle did not capture all merchant ships, the valuable goods in the Dutch fleet were concentrated on these five armed merchant ships, and some were loaded on the warships.

Su Buheng drove the Wei Qing to chase the other four escaped merchant ships, but had not returned yet.
