Outside Dayuan Bay, hundreds of warships gathered on the sea.

Among them, including ten three-masted gunships, the rest are all No. 1 and No. 2 blessed ships.

The three-masted gunship in Donghai Town is equipped with fifty guns and the flagship Zhenhai, which is even sixty, twenty of which are twenty, twenty of which are twenty-four-pound guns. The remaining lucky ships are equipped with two to thirty-six.

The entire fleet was equipped with more than 1,200 artillery pieces, and most of the profits from overseas trade in Donghai Town were smashed by Zhao Ming on the navy.

At that time, the Spanish Invincible Armada was equipped with more than 3,000 artillery pieces, and ran rampant in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. Now the navy of Donghai Town is enough to look down on East Asia and can be called the Invincible Armada in the East.

Such a powerful fleet can sweep across the South China Sea and fight a Dayuan Bay, but if you can't find the right method, even if the navy in Donghai Town is twice as powerful, it may be difficult to conquer Dayuan Bay.

This is related to the special terrain of Darun Bay. The Dutch chose this place because Darun Bay is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At this time, on the Zhenhai flagship, Zhao Ming also held a thousand-mile mirror and observed the Dayuan Bay in the distance.

Beside him, He Bin, the manager of the Europa Company, was explaining to Zhao Ming: "Prime Minister! The two stone forts built by Hong Maoyi in the official, one is called the Relan Chateau and the other is called the Chikan Castle. There is an inner harbor between the two forts, which is wrapped by Qikun body, the North Line Tight Island and Luermen Island. Only two waterways can enter the inner harbor."

He Bin was the one who led Zheng Chenggong to recapture Taiwan. He had done business for the East India Company and was very familiar with the situation of the senior officials.

Zhao Ming landed in Taipei, first defeated the Dutch in Miaoliwei, and then advanced from north to south, and advanced from land to top the top officials. In fact, the odds of winning were greater.

However, in this way, first, the advancement will be much slower, second, the Dutch fight and retreat, retreating, the retreating officials cannot defend the fortress, and can retreat to the sea and attack the merchant ships of Donghai Town. Donghai Town cannot wipe them out, and then the war will never end.

Because Donghai Town could not withstand the long-term war and the Dutch harassment of merchant ships and routes, Zhao Mingcai rushed to the official and closed the door and beat the dog. One of the reasons for giving him confidence was that He Bin existed.

This time, Zhao Ming brought hundreds of warships and more than 10,000 soldiers, and his troops were more than six times that of the Dutch in Dayuan Bay. However, the Dutch defended the dangerous situation, including warships and heavy artillery on the Hotzalamburg, blocking the waterway. No matter how many people in Donghai Town were, they could not get ashore or enter the port, which was in vain.

By then, the ships will be drifting on the sea and it will not take long to consume food and fresh water. If a storm occurs, the entire fleet will still be in danger of destruction.

Zhao Ming had some impression of Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, but he still confirmed: "Which two channels?"

He Bin explained: "The Qikun Body is located in the southwest of the inner port. It is seven connected islands, called the One Kun Body and Two Kun Body, until the Qikun Body. The seven islands are connected in a line. Each island is less than one mile apart, with reefs and shallows everywhere, and the ships cannot sail. However, the One Kun Body is far apart from the North Line Island, and the sea water is deep, but it can be passed. This channel is called the Southern Channel by Hongmaoyi. The warships and merchant ships of Hongmaoyi all enter the inner port through the Southern Channel. However, we want to enter the inner port from now on, but it is unlikely that, because the Relan Cham Fort is on Yikun, and the heavy artillery on the fortress can control the channel. If Hongmaoyi sends one or two warships to block the channel, our fleet will find it difficult to enter the port from now on!"

Guo Zhong, who was standing beside him, couldn't help frowning and said, "As you say this, isn't the Southern Channel a man who can pass by a man and ten thousand men?"

He Bin nodded and said, "It can be said that."

These words made many navy generals restless, but Zhao Ming asked calmly: "Where is another channel?"

He Bin licked his lips, "The other northern channel is between the end of the north line and Luermen Island, which is the "Luermen Channel". Prime Minister, this channel is wider and deeper than the entrance of the southern channel. The entire channel is not only shallow, but also particularly narrow. It is impossible for warships like ours to pass through!"

Guo Zhong said anxiously: "So, if we sailed over excitedly, wouldn't we even be able to kill the inner harbor?"

At this time, Zhao Ming saw that the generals were anxious and angry, and couldn't help but smile: "If the information in this town is correct, the North Passage will be able to pass by under high tide!"

When He Bin saw Zhao Ming looking at him, he was shocked when he heard Zhao Ming's words.

Even some Dutch people don't know when the tide of the Northern Passage is high.

Because the high tide is usually at night, and it is only once a month. If you are not interested, you will not know it at all.

He Bin hurriedly said: "Report to the Prime Minister, every 15th of a month, when the sea water rises, it can pass through a large ship. However, the Red-Farewell usually walks the southern channel and almost never passes through the northern channel at night, so it is impossible for the low-level position to pass. In addition, the Dutch also arranged soldiers to garrison on the island at the end of the North Line. It is almost impossible for the fleet to sneak past."

Zhao Ming sneered: "Who said that this town is going to sneak over!"

He Bin couldn't help but wonder: "The Prime Minister~"

Zhao Ming held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and his robe was blown by the sea breeze. He stood on the boat building and said majestic: "The red-haired Yi is not only a small country with a booze, and he comes from thousands of miles. I am a dignified Chinese, and I am at my doorstep. The ships and troops are several times higher than the red-haired Yi. Can't you defeat the red-haired Yi? Since you know the route to the port, then the fleet pours in and cannons bombard me. Who can stop me? More than a thousand cannons in this town are firing in a volley, but you won't even knock the red-haired Yi into a slag!"

The Donghai Town fleet is strong and is right at the doorstep, with flowering bullets. If it can't beat the Dutch people from thousands of miles away, Zhao Ming would not talk about anything, crossing the sea and confronting the Western countries.

~~~~~~~

Hongmaoyi chose Dayuan Bay, which is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. It not only requires strong troops, but also depends on God's expression.

The fleet of Donghai Town arrived outside Dayuan Bay on the tenth day of the first lunar month. While waiting for the rising tide, Zhao Ming asked the warships to tentatively attack the southern channel.

Guo Zhong sent several lucky ships to break into the southern channel, but was hit by the Dutch warships blocked in the channel and heavy artillery on the Hotzelanburg. One was sunk as soon as he met. The remaining warships fired a few cannons and hurriedly retreated.

In the next few days, Zhao Ming did not give up and continued to let the fleet break through. Two more ships were sunk. The wreck blocked the southern channel and gave up the hard rush.

In the Holzerlandburg, Dutch Governor Fels saw this and sneered repeatedly, and was full of confidence in the defense line of the officials.
