On the vast sea, fifteen warships stretched for more than a mile and were murderous intent.

In an instant, the Dutch's fanaticism seemed to be frozen by the cold wind in the north. It was obvious that the King of Qi they were facing was not a simple indigenous person.

"Damn it! Rhodes, you should tell me there is a powerful fleet." Claire said crazy.

Fanaticism does not mean stupidity. Their warships are all third-level sailing warships, but they have lost firepower, making them even more uncertain about how this sudden fleet trains?

Rhode opened his mouth, and he finally understood why the King of Qi made such an irrespectful request. The fleet in front of him had already explained it all.

"The King of Chu deceived us, and the King of Chu must have done it on purpose." Rod shouted angrily: "He hid everything from us to let us enter this trap."

At this time, Sakai also saw the fleet on the sea through a telescope. The warships of this fleet were not much different from those of European warships, but there was a flag with the words "Dayu Kingdom" written on it.

The soldiers on the warship were dressed in the style of the Great Yu Kingdom. When he saw this scene, he was completely stunned. If this was the fleet of the Great Yu Kingdom, it would be a disaster for them.

"Earl, now it's time for you to give orders." Sakai reminded: "The more time you waste, the less chance you will be left. Is it a war or a retreat?"

Claire came back from his shock, looking to the left and right as if thinking about a very difficult decision.

The news brought by Rhodes was very clear. The King of Qi from the Great Yu Kingdom wanted Ryukyu and trade routes. If they could not reach an agreement, war would be inevitable, whether it was now or in the future.

Looking at the Great Yu team getting closer and closer, Claire said: "We can't fight this fleet here, there are not many supplies. Now we should return to Ryukyu and destroy this fleet in the waters outside Ryukyu."

Rhode nodded when he heard this, which was undoubtedly a correct decision.

After the order was issued, the bells quickly rang on the ship, and amid the bells, the Dutch fleet slowly set sail towards Ryukyu.

At this time, Yue Yun was on the King of Qi and was watching the Dutch fleet with a telescope.

When he saw the Dutch fleet fleeing south, he frowned. Because they rushed to fight, there were not many supplies on their ships. If the Dutch fleet refused to fight and continued to flee south, it would be very unfavorable for them. After all, it would be a long process from Dengzhou to Ryukyu.

He looked at the coast, and the army of the Great Yu Kingdom had already appeared on the coast. At this time, he saw the Qingzhou army waving the military flag and uttering the flag saying "Don't pursue".

Putting down the telescope, he ordered the crew: "Stop the pursuit."

This order was issued by Xiao Ming. The Dutch chose to retreat enough to show that they did not have the confidence to defeat him. He felt that the Dutch should be given time to think about whether to accept his conditions.

If the Dutch were still cooked and had a hard mouth, he could only take the means of taking the island by force to drive the Dutch out of this sea area.

At the same time, one of the reasons why he told Yue Yun not to pursue him was the supply issue. He knew that there was not much food on the warships at this time for the soldiers to eat, and it was difficult to provide supplies along the way without communication.

Therefore, he needed to establish supply points along the coast and at the same time let the Qingzhou army prepare enough to launch an attack on Ryukyu. After all, if the enemy was unwilling to fight in the era of sailing warships, he would fall into a chase.

Among sail warships, the first-class sail warships and the second-class sail warships are not as flexible as the third-class sail warships. They do not have the advantage in the pursuit battle and directly attack Ryukyu Island. At that time, the Dutch fleet would have to be forced to accept the war.

"When will your Highness be planning to attack Ryukyu?" Niu Ben said at this time, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. At least during the Battle of Jizhou, King Qi understood the importance of logistics and did not let the fleet pursue it rashly.

Xiao Ming said lightly: "No hurry, Ryukyu Island is nothing but cooked ducks cannot fly. Now we still need to wait for the tiger cannons and field cannons in the military workshop to avoid the loss of the two armies fighting."

Niu Ben also saw the Dutch-mounted field guns installed on wheels. This gun is short and thin, and has a small caliber, but it has to be said to be very light.

On the battlefield, this kind of artillery has a longer range than a flintlock rifle and is more powerful than a flintlock rifle. It is indeed a good weapon.

"It's time for Chen Qi to produce a batch of cannons in this way." Niu Ben looked serious.

No general likes to joke about soldiers' lives.

Originally, Xiao Ming thought the Dutch would fight for a short time before retreating, but he did not expect that they would evacuate and he was so decisive, which further reflects that the Dutch were very guilty.

Because the Dutch had no idea how many warships he had, but they knew very well that they would not have reinforcements to arrive.

Now, these Dutch people may be in panic all day long, worried that they would launch an attack on Ryukyu day and night.

Looking at the gradually disappearing Dutch warship, Xiao Ming and his party returned to Dengzhou City. The war could only begin when everything was ready. After returning this time, he would communicate with the King of Wei and the King of Chu, so that they could leave a supply point for themselves on the coast.

Now both King Wei and King Chu have the handle in his hands, so the two of them must not dare to make any small moves.

Yue Yun led the fleet back to the military port soon, and then he and a group of naval generals arrived at the Dengzhou Chengfu Office.

"Your Highness, these Dutch people ran away quickly." Yue Yun smiled, "It was a pity that our warship was chased by them at the beginning.

"When you take revenge," Xiao Ming said to Yue Yun: "But this time you may not be the Dutch opponents. Naval battles can not be won just by being big. You just took over the warships and are not familiar with the things on it. From now on, you will stay in Dengzhou for three months of maritime training. When you are familiar with the control of the warships, you will talk about naval battles. Now, clean up the nearby pirates."

After Xiao Ming said this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly popped up behind Yue Yun. Xiao Ming said it right. If the fight really happens this time, the outcome is unknown. Although his soldiers know how to control the warships, they are not familiar with new warships, especially large warships such as first and second levels are difficult to operate.

With a shameful look, Yue Yun said, "Yes, Your Highness, the last general will definitely lead the soldiers to train hard and form an army as soon as possible."

Nodding, Xiao Ming said to Yang Chengye at this time: "Governor Yang, it is a great opportunity for you Dengzhou now. When you take down Ryukyu, you Dengzhou will become a commercial port on the sea, which is very beneficial to the development of Dengzhou."
