"Damn it, where did this fleet come from?" Carrel Dorman cursed.

Of course he knew whose fleet was this. The flag had already shown their identity, but the collapse of Carrel Dorman was why did this fleet come so soon?

If one day in advance, he would definitely say no to Theo Capelo's proposal.

Sixteen big red single ships, six out of two small and eight small in medium-sized red single ships, such strength seriously exceeded their expectations.

The answer they got before was eight big red ships.

Now the strength of the Chinese has more than doubled. Such a fleet is already a maritime force that Batavia must face. Their squadron will definitely not be able to provoke.

So they are just, absolutely, must be hired to transport soldiers and supplies for Abdul Rahman.

That's all!

But now... everything is too late.

Just look at the Chinese's posture. It's hard for the four merchant ships to run away. They used four big red single ships to cooperate with four small red single ships to attack four merchant ships with their backs against the enemy's turret, which was to kill the four merchant ships.

There are only two choices in front of Carrel Dorman. One is to immediately lead his warships into the battlefield to rescue four merchant ships. Even if they cannot be rescued, he did his best; the other is to send someone to explain to the Chinese that the four merchant ships were just the personal behavior of merchants and had nothing to do with Batavia.

However, the second choice will definitely ruin his second half of his life.

Because the Dutch had to show an advantage over the Eastern century, even if the other party was the ancient empire of China.

In Nanyang, they also need to have the right to be unreasonable to the Chinese.

People on my side can participate in the war at will, but you can't beat me!

So, Dorman knew that he had only one choice now.

"Tell me the order that all warships raise sails and anchors and raise battle flags!"

There are only three warships on Carrel Dorman's side, only one of which is a fourth-class sailing battleship, and the other two are agile sloop warships.

The fourth-class ship has two-layer gun decks, most of which are between 50 and 54 gates, with a capacity of about 350 people and a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.

This type of warship firepower is weaker than the main battleships and is not suitable for fleet decisive battles, so they mainly serve as the flagships of overseas cruise squadrons.

The Netherlands has gradually declined since its entry into the 18th century, especially in terms of arms. Commercially their merchant ships are still sailing across major oceans around the world, comparable to the British. Dutch merchant ships have always been the largest source of British tea smuggling, but they are not able to do so in military terms.

In Batavia, the third-class sail battleship no longer exists, and now there are only two fourth-class ships supporting the scene.

The weaker sloop warships are not bigger than those of Dahong single ship, and the cannon load is almost the same, and they are all a layer of artillery decks. This way, warships do not seem to have much advantage in single battles against Dahong single ships.

In addition to eight red ships, the Chinese fleet on the opposite side also had twelve big red ships, as well as two small and four small and medium-sized red ships. This strength was no problem to crush three warships.

"Move, move, maximum speed, I want maximum speed." Carrel Dorman knew that if he wanted to survive this battle, he had to play his biggest advantage, that is speed.

I have to move and keep moving.

This way, the ship will not be surrounded by the enemy.

Tigers must also be afraid of wolves.

No matter how weak the warships are, they will be enough to overturn a towering giant ship that is countless times stronger than them.

Dorman was not ready to win this war. It would be lucky to be able to save a merchant ship. But he had to ensure that he would not fall into a siege and be eaten by the Chinese, especially the fourth-class warship under his feet.

If this warship is lost, Batavia will have even less maritime power.

Well, by the way, the Dutch merchant ships returning to Europe from Batavia have set sail, and now is the time for Batavia's maritime power to be the most empty.

They have been cut off from direct contact for two years. Batavia only knows that the local area has suffered a miserable defeat, but they still need to have a more specific and real understanding of this.

Zhao Liang licked his lips, looked at Zhu Wo next to him and said, "I'll leave the naval battle to you, eat them all!"

"Don't worry, wait."

Zhao Liang did not get off the boat and went ashore, but was on the Dahong Single Boat No. 1. This was trust in Zhu Wo and the pressure on Zhu Wo.

After saying that, Zhao Liang retreated to the second line.

I no longer care about the battle, but this telescope is looking around.

In his previous life, he also watched some movies about sailing warships, such as the rage battle, and the admiral. Of course, if the Caribbean counts, he would have finished watching it.

But I have never seen it with my own eyes. Today is a real feast for you.

Even if the Dutch fleet in front of us is very weak.

Shi Alei stood at the stern of a medium-sized red single ship, with her hand shed in her eyes, looking at the three Dutch warships that were constantly approaching in front of her, and all her excitement came out of it.

They grew up listening to the stories of the Zheng family by the Guo family since they were young.

The story of Zheng Chenggong fighting with the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong recovered the officials, defeating the red-haired ghost, and even Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch several times, but Shi Alei never thought that one day he would be able to fight with the Dutch.

When he was born, Dutch merchant ships had already disappeared along the southeast coast.

The East India Company, which lost its major members, devoted more energy to Japan. After all, they are in a monopoly trend towards Japan's overseas trade.

The Japanese only trade with the Dutch, and of course there are Chinese, but considering the history of the East, this advantage is really nothing to the Chinese.

Shi Alei has never seen a Dutch since he was born. As he grew older, he quickly faded away his immatureness, and at the same time buried all the ridiculous wishes he had when he was young and childish.

The Dutch can’t see it, so how can he hit the Dutch? How can he learn from the Guo surname?

His greatest wish in his life became that he could enjoy his fortune in the second half of his life, change his status, and buy land and property on the shore openly. Then when he reached middle age, his greatest wish became that he could have a son.

Although the daughter is very smart and beautiful, no matter how smart or beautiful the daughter is, she is not as good as her son.

But the changes in the world are so wonderful.

Because of Zheng Yi's original delusion, the huge Red Flag Gang fell apart, and he surrendered to the Zhao family. Then everyone was sent to Nanyang and to the manor in Pontianak.

For many people, having a foothold, a house built on the ground, and a stable life is already the life that many gangsters dream of.

But Shi Alei felt empty because he had no son. Who would he give to him no matter how much family business he earned?

Moreover, as the leader of the Shi family, Shi Alei still has certain political wisdom.

He knew very well what was the biggest advantage of his family compared to other families. He knew that if the Shi family continued to do it honestly, they would be able to be destroyed by everyone like most people in the future. But if the Shi family could stick to their traditions, they would not need everyone to follow that path. They just needed to separate some "restless" people to go, which would be greatly beneficial to the Shi family's future status.

People who don’t look at other surnames are also leaving to join the guards and militias?

Why did the Shi family give up their advantages and run to the land to earn money from those people?

So Shi Alei took some Shi family and some pirates who had defected to him and walked back onto the sea boat again, and relying on his skillful sea survival and combat skills, many people stood out. Shi Alei became the captain of a medium-sized red single ship.

Now I am more fortunate to participate in the battle in front of me.

It seems that his childhood dream has a chance to come true?
