Chapter 278 Damn Spaniards, do they want to go to war with our Netherlands?!

"Three Lanfang warships came back, and it seemed that they wanted to fight for their lives. Soldiers, take out your spirit and clean up these guys. A captain saw that the other party was squeezing in along the estuary of the river valley between Namae Island and Borneo, but because the river was too narrow to pass through so many ships at once, some Chinese soldiers had begun to jump into the sea in panic, intending to escape to both sides with their own water name. However, there are still brave people among them, who are charging back at the side in their poor small warship.

Although the Dutch navy admires the courage of the other party, the other party's behavior is only a desperate and stupid counterattack in the face of absolute strength. Soon, two Dutch two-hock warships swung their hulls horizontally, revealing the ferocious side gun windows, and the muzzle of a door exposed their dark figures from the gun window.

"The gunners are in place, aim, and get ready to shoot!" With the scolding of the artillery command, he stood upstairs and stood up to look at the Chinese warship with a sense of superiority.

Although its two-marsted warships are small and medium-sized warships in the Dutch naval sequence, they far surpass the so-called warships of the opposite opponent in all aspects.

Although this two-mast warship does not have a three-deck gun position like battleships or other three-mast warships, the number of sideboard artillery is still no less than fifteen, and this kind of firepower can easily destroy the opponent.

"The first shot of this battle will start with my order. After that, it may be recorded in history and become the beginning of our Dutch conquest of the whole Borneo." The captain thought proudly that at this time, the other party's warship had already entered its own gun range.

"Fire!" With a loud shout, fifteen cannons fired one after another, and the spitting tongue still looked so clear under the hot sun. Although the other party had just entered the shooting range of the artillery, there were still two shells that hit the other party's warship. I don't know if the other party's courage had been exhausted on the way back to charge. At the moment when the gunfire hit the warship, the sailors on the Chinese warship scrambled to jump into the sea.

"Captain, do we need another round of artillery fire?" Seeing the Lanfang warships who were only relying on their usual surnames to move forward slowly, the first mate standing beside the captain contemptuously curled his lips and asked knowingly.

--------------------

"No, they are really not worth our waste of shells. Damn it. If I had known that they were so weak, I shouldn't have let the warship stop here to entangle with them, turn the rudder, and keep moving forward. I don't care about these timid cowards." The captain slapped the mast of the ship angrily and gave a new order loudly.

"I said, we are now back on the ship and continue to stay in the sea." A pirate of the Liang family, who was floating freely on the sea, lazily asked his companions around him. They were one of the "cophors" who jumped off the warship and fled for their lives at the moment when the other party opened fire.

"Anyway, but I still feel that it's cooler in the water. Besides, what if we climb up again and the other party is nervous and shoots at us? It's better to just look at it. Anyway, they don't have a chance to jump. Another pirate who had just emerged from the water replied after taking a comfortable breath. For those Dutch warships who passed by, there was no fear or panic in their eyes, but with a face of desire and greed. I don't know how many of these warships we can capture. A pirate who was playing backstroke looked envious.

"That depends on how hard Brother Li Pao and others are." Another pirate expressed a view that everyone agreed with.

"These poor people, I hope they won't drown. At that time, we can also have a few more free sitters to dig gold mines." Brigadier General Van Gaal looked at the Chinese sailors in a daze in the sea in the distance and made a joke with ease.

"Don't worry, it is said that there are more than 100,000 Chinese in Lanfang, and there are also hundreds of thousands of indigenous people who belong to them. So many people are enough for us to develop the whole northern part of the Baltic States." The commissioner Ovimas also looked relaxed. If it weren't for the restrictions of discipline, he even wanted to move a small round table on the deck of the end of the building, tasted delicious black tea, and watched the brave soldiers effortlessly occupy another city of Lanfang Chinese again.

"It seems that their port has no artillery, or their soldiers don't even have the courage to defend the port." Seeing that warships were approaching less than a mile from the port and still not under any attack, Brigadier General Van Gaal expressed his opinion.

"If we had known this, we should have set up the base camp here, not in Kendavang Bank." The commissioner Ovimas said without regret.

At this time, Van Gaal took out his pocket watch from his arms to look at the time and turned to the north. At this moment, he could only see the shadows of the sails. He turned around and looked back at the port where there were only one or two cats and dogs in addition to the scattered boxes, clothes and even shoes and socks. " Forget it, these guys are already hot-headed. Don't wait for them anymore. Tell Lieutenant Colonel Dink to be ready to go to the port.

"Yes, General." After the first mate made a loud promise, he ordered the signal soldiers to raise their flags, and a three-masted warship on the left side of their flagship began to sail slowly to the dock. Before long, nearly 200 heavily armed Dutch soldiers had gathered on the dock, and they quickly occupied, or entered the key points of the dock and guarded them.

Suddenly, the dense sound of gunfire came from the north along the sea breeze. Van Gaal subconsciously turned around and looked at the north. Soon, another round of dense gunfire appeared again and again. Although the distance was far away, it still faintly came to their ears.

Van Gaal couldn't help frowning: "What's going on? With such dense artillery fire, have we met the main fleet of Lanfang Chinese?

"What should we do now, General? Shall we reinforce immediately?" Oviemas squinted his eyes and looked at the north in vain through the telescope. It was too far away. He couldn't see more than the sail shadow and coastline on the sea level.

"That's the only way to do it. Except for Lieutenant Colonel Dink's warship, three more warships were left, just in case, the rest were with me..." Brigadier General Van Gaal issued an order loudly. At this time, he suddenly heard a dense gunfire, but it did not come from the north, but from the southwest, that is, from behind them.

Almost everyone looked back at this moment. My God!" The agent Ovimas's face turned gray in an instant and he shouted in disbelief.

About seven miles behind them, a reconnaissance ship was slowly sinking into the sea, and the soldiers on the ship were jumping into the sea and swam this way desperately. In the rear of them, tall masts are exposed to the sea, tall and towering warships are revealing their dark and strong hulls, and the Spanish flag hanging high on the top of the mast is fluttering in the wind.

"Warning, a large number of unknown Spanish warships were found in the rear, alarm!" The soldiers standing in the mast watchtower shouted in their shrill and high voices. There was an unspeakable fear in the voice.

"What did the Spanish warships come here for? And when did they have such a powerful fleet here? This is impossible!" The Dutch admiral swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the mast that still kept appearing from the sea level. There were at least dozens of three-masts on the other side, and even more than a dozen fourth-class battleships with slightly less firepower than the third-class battleships. Other large and small warships made Van Gaal's scalp numb.

It's like a group of locusts, covering towards them.

"Aert! A large number of warships with the Spanish flag were found on the starboard side. "Warning!" At this time, the soldier in the mast watchtower was like a soprano in the opera house pulling up a long tone, which smelled like aria, but the vibrato was too much.

Van Gaal turned his head and looked over. In the west, there were also a large number of warships, but in terms of the style of these warships, most of them should belong to the kind of Fuchuan warships in the east, but the number is also a lot, and they are also wearing the flag of Spain.

However, Van Gaal and others soon concluded that the starboard warship should be a mercenary hired by the Spanish.

"What's going on? What the fuck is going on? Where on earth did these boats come from? The commissioner Ovimas held his wig fiercely, and he didn't even care about the baldness on his forehead. The expression is like seeing a weak woman rushing up with a silver smile on the mouth of the black alley, desperate and helpless. Damn Spaniards, do they want to go to war with our Netherlands?!"

"There are at least hundreds of warships. When did the Spaniards drive such a huge fleet to the east? Have their sworn enemy, the British, been eliminated by them?" Such an absurd idea couldn't help but come to the mind of Brigadier General Van Gaal.

"Wow, these Dutch seem to be a little dumbfounded." With a proud face, Xiaobai expressed her opinion to Shi Xianggu, a lady who was as calm as water beside her. Miss, let's rush over and beat them first.

Hearing Xiaobai's words, Shi Xianggu glanced at the personal bodyguard, who was still naive and romantic: "Don't worry, although the other party's warships are few, the firepower can't be underestimated. If you don't pay attention, you may let the other party escape. Tell Brother Tianbao to keep his fleet at a constant speed with us and go to the port. Approaching. In addition, the flag tells the Dutch that we are not pirates. We are the Spanish Luzon fleet. We hope they can put down their weapons and surrender without unnecessary resistance. We will ensure that they will be treated as prisoners of war. When Shi Xianggu said the name of her fleet, a strange smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. He looked up at the Westerners in Spanish naval uniforms standing in the conspicuous place of the tail building, with a rather helpless expression.
