Chapter 613 Under the Battle of Luzon

On the Dutch warships moored in the harbor, Dutch soldiers rushed out of the cabin, stood on the deck, squeezed to the side of the ship and looked north.

Yabuko hurried to the ship's tower, and the sound of cannons coming from the northwest became clearer and clearer. As the cannons were sounded, you could still see the dark sea and sky, with red light shining.

Yabuko and others were immediately happy, and the sailors of the East India Company on the deck cheered, "Here is here!"

Spain came back a little fast, but when you heard the sound of cannons, you knew that the Spanish had successfully led the navy of Donghai Town.

"The Chinese are fooled! Send orders and prepare to start a war!" Yabuko shouted excitedly and drew a cross on his chest, "God bless the Netherlands!"

In the bay, the decks of ten warships were filled with Dutch sailors and soldiers, each standing in his own position.

The sailors pulled the sail rope, the soldiers loaded ammunition for each cannon, and then pushed the cannon to extend the gun window. Everyone stared at the entrance of the bay with all their attention, pricking their ears waiting for the officer to issue the order.

On the battleship, Yabuko stood by the side of the ship, looking northwest with a thousand-mile mirror, but his vision was blocked by the hills, and he could not see the situation in the distance, but could only see the entrance to the bay, and there was a pitch-black sea.

The sound of cannons came into the Dutch's ears, but the war was far away from the harbour.

The Dutch waited for a long time with breathing and concentration. Just when the sailors and soldiers were about to lose patience, several black giants that spurted orange-red cannon flames from time to time appeared in the Dutch's sight.

At this time, it was dawn, and Yabuko could not see these black giants clearly, but from the fact that they fired and fled south, it should be undoubtedly the Spanish, and the fleet pursued by Donghai Town should be behind them.

Yabuko became excited, and the Dutch soldiers were also cheering up.

But if they could see clearly, the situation of the Spanish fleet might not be excited.

There are only six of the ten Spanish warships now, and each of them was severely damaged, with several even one or two masts blown off.

According to the plan, the Spaniards attracted the navy of Donghai Town to the vicinity of Subic Bay, and Dutch warships took the opportunity to break out of the bay. At the same time, the Spaniards turned the bow of the ship, and the coalition forces could attack forward and backward to annihilate the main warships of Donghai Town.

"The whole ship is anchored! Get ready~" Yabuko raised his right hand and stared at the sea outside the entrance of the harbor.

At this moment, the Spanish warships fleeing in front had already sailed past the sea at the entrance, and several Ming warships that were pursuing artillery flames while pursuing the Spanish fleet appeared on the sea in front of the harbor.

"Full sails! Break out of the bay!" Yabuko waved his right hand and roared loudly. The Dutch sailors and soldiers on the deck shouted in unison in an instant, raised the sails, and the ten warships immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Donghai Town Navy, who was pursuing Spain.

Watching the Spaniards bring the Donghai Town Navy into their ambush circle, the Dutch were secretly happy and charged, but at this moment, Yabuko suddenly realized something was wrong.

At this time, the Spanish fleet flew south should turn around and redirect and fight the Donghai Town Navy again. However, the Spanish warships still shot with their stern artillery while fleeing south for life.

Seeing that the Spaniard had no intention of stopping, he seemed to be preparing to escape back to Manila directly, Yabuko was shocked.

"Shoot! Damn Spaniards!" Yabko cursed and directed the fleet to fire at the chasing Donghai Town fleet, reminding the Spanish that it was time to turn back.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A fire of cannons, and the shells splashed water columns near the port side of the Zhenhai.

"The vassal lord, an enemy ship came from the east!" The soldiers on Wangdou immediately shouted loudly.

Zhao Ming walked to the side of the ship and saw the Dutch ship rushing out of the bay. He slapped the guardrail and said coldly: "It's true here. Port gun shooting!"

Donghai Town learned of the Dutch warships and arrived in Luzon, they went south from Palembang.

Therefore, when the Donghai Town fleet ran into the Spaniards, they saw that there were only ten ships, so they became alert.

At this time, with Zhao Ming's order, the nine Donghai Town gunboats opened fire together, and orange flames ejected from the side of the battleship, making a rumbling sound, shaking the sea surface, and the scene was very grand and spectacular.

The Dutch warships charged in the water columns.

The shells hit him one by one, which could not stop Yabuko's passion, but then Yabuko's expression changed drastically.

He originally thought it was very dark at dawn, and the Spaniards did not see the terrain clearly, and they did not know that they had introduced Donghai Town into the ambush circle, so they fired a cannon to remind the Spaniards to turn around to fight, but the Spaniards had no intention of stopping at all. They ignored the Dutch and ran south directly.

"The Spaniards ran away!" On the Dutch flagship, the officers looked at the Spaniards who were leaving in disbelief, and were stunned.

After the Spaniards encountered Donghai Town, they were originally planning to shoot at the side for a few rounds, then pretended to be defeated, fled south, and lured Donghai Town to pursue it.

But as soon as they fought, the Spaniards discovered that they didn't have to pretend to be unable to shoot three rounds. The flagship Saint-Phillip sank in the explosion, and the rest of the warships were also severely damaged by the flowering bullets.

The remaining Spaniards were very vicious and immediately changed their direction and ran south with no life.

Along the way, the hesitant ships were damaged and their speed decreased. Spanish warships were caught up by Donghai Town and sunk. The remaining warships fled to Subic Bay. Seeing the Netherlands rushing out, they were already scared, but they did not dare to stay at all and continued to flee south frantically.

Yabuko was shocked and saw the Spaniard running away in a daze, and couldn't help but curse. At this moment, the second round of artillery fire in Donghai Town had already arrived.

A flowering bullet hit the head of the Dutch flagship, and a loud bang. The sailor at the bow was overturned by the explosion, the slanted sail was broken, and a huge hole appeared in the bow.

Yabuko was shocked and was stunned by the explosion, but at this time he couldn't care about so much. The fleet had already rushed out and could not be retracting. He suddenly roared wildly: "Fire the cannon and rush out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another explosion occurred. A flowering bullet fell near the helm. The air waves caused by the explosion blew Yabuko and sat on the deck. In the sky, the broken wood chips and the Dutch's broken limbs fell like hail. The deck was in a mess, and there were wounded Dutch people everywhere.

On the deck of the ship, Yabuko stood up with a struggle, but found a shrapnel inserted into his thigh, and blood was flowing.

On the messy deck, there were flashing fires, thick smoke rolling, and unclear vision, and screams of help were all around. Some sailors who were mentally broken by the explosion were stunned and walked aimlessly on the deck. Some uninjured Dutch people dragged the wounded to move slowly on the deck.

A series of explosions reminded the surroundings of screams and screams from other warships, as well as the loud noise of the mast breaking and falling toward the deck, each warship was trembling violently.

During the Battle of Dayuan Bay, the Dutch Navy in Taiwan was destroyed, so there was not even a person who escaped to report the news.

Therefore, the Dutch Navy in Batavia had no idea that Donghai Town had flowering bullets, and the soldiers and officers on the ship were all stunned by the explosion.

"Helping me up!" Yabuko sat on the ground, staring at the scene on the warship in horror, and asked for help.

A soldier ran over and helped him up, but before the man could fully stand up, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the side of the ship next to Yabuko suddenly exploded, and a flowering bullet exploded instantly. The side of the ship turned into countless broken wood and flew. Yabuko was hit by a few shrapnel again, and his body was blown back by the air waves like a sack, hitting the side of the ship on the other side, fainting.

On the sea, Dutch warships were severely damaged, and the warships were beaten to pieces in the explosion and slowly sank into the sea.

The Dutch warships that had reacted changed directions one after another, and Donghai Town would not let them go, block overseas exits and bombard them.

One hour later, it was already bright, six of the ten Dutch warships were sunk, three were stranded, and only the last one was left, shuttled through the rain of bullets, trying to escape.

However, with the Ming army's gunboats and fire attacks, the remaining Dutch warship soon broke its mast, lost its speed, and was paralyzed on the sea.

At this time, a sad song suddenly sounded on the Dutch warship, and the remaining Dutch gathered on the deck and sang together, "I, William of Nassau; flowing with Germanic blood. Be loyal to the motherland; stick to this belief until death. I, Prince Orange, are free and fearless~"

On the sea, the gunboats in Donghai Town stopped bombarding, and the battlefield suddenly became quiet, leaving only the tragic and desperate singing of the Dutch people echoing.

On the Zhenhai warship, Zhao Ming saw the scene in front of him, put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, took off his helmet, and after a moment of silence, he decisively waved his hand and ordered, "Fire the cannon and send them to see God!"

The side of the nine gunboats roared together, and the Dutch warships were instantly dismembered in the explosion.
