Chapter 1040: Tip-to-head against the wheat, evenly matched (1)

(1040)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

"not good!"

"I've fallen into the trap!"

Looking at the Hu Ben Navy warships emerging around, Rezge's face suddenly became stiff. He was about to chase Seviara, but suddenly fell into the trap of the Hu Ben Navy. Such a huge gap could not be withstood even Rezge, as a lieutenant general, could not bear it.

Of course he wouldn't be idiotic, thinking that these sudden appearance of Tiger Army naval warships were just to rescue Seviara. He didn't need to go through his brain to tell that the other party's purpose was himself, the entire 14th Fleet of the Dutch Navy!

Being trapped!

Damn Tiger Army Navy!

Seviara, the damn British ***, was indeed uneasy. Zhang Zhun, a bastard, was even more uneasy. They must have deployed it in advance, with the purpose of inducing the main Dutch Navy fleet to head north. Seviara deliberately appeared in Brunei, not to go back to Britain or rob the Dutch merchant ships, but to catch Hirezger.

As a result, he was not aware of it for a while, and Rezger was really caught. This feeling made Rezger very angry. He held the sword's hand, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force. Even the knuckles made a crisp sound.

As angry as him, there were officers and soldiers of the entire 14th Fleet of the Dutch Navy. They had never expected that things would take a turn for the worse. How could they not be angry when the cooked duck that was about to be obtained had flew away and the danger of being besieged by the enemy?

In addition to their anger, they even had a little fear. Such fear was something they had never had before. Even when they were fighting against the Spanish, they had never had such fear. There was no way, there were indeed too many warships appearing in the Hu Ben Navy.

Around the Dutch fleet, there were all warships of the Hu Ben Navy, with at least three or four hundred ships. With so many warships, the smallest displacement, all have more than three hundred tons. This means that the Hu Ben Navy is determined to win this time and will completely keep the 14th Dutch Navy Fleet in this sea area.

"bring it on!"

"Either you die or I die!"

Rezger took a deep breath and sneered loudly.

Of course, Rezger could clearly realize the danger of the situation in front of him. However, the danger of the situation not only did not make Rezger retreat, but on the contrary, it also inspired Rezger's fighting spirit. Being able to be promoted to lieutenant general and serve as the commander of the 14th Fleet, Rezger relied on a spirit of never giving up. He would never retreat easily in front of the enemy.

If you want to find a desperate Saburo in the top leaders of the Dutch Navy, this person must be Rezger. Not to mention the battle in the Atlantic Ocean, even after coming to Southeast Asia, the Dutch territory was also developed by Rezger and others, who defeated Spain and Portugal bit by bit, and gradually developed it. It can be said that without Rezger and others, there would be no Dutch East India Company today.

From the distant Brunei, he chased to the vicinity of Formosa, and always bit Saiviara tightly and refused to let go. From this, he could see Rezge's character. Even when facing a powerful enemy, Rezge would not give up easily. Even if all the warships of the Tiger Army Navy appeared in front of him, he could not retreat easily.

In fact, in addition to Rezger's character, the heavy responsibility he shouldered also prevented him from retreating easily. If he retreated, the matter would definitely be laughed out from laughing. Other forces in Southeast Asia would ridicule the incompetence of the Dutch Navy. For the honor of the Dutch Navy, he would never retreat.

"General..."

Some staff officer said hesitantly.

Rezger didn't want to retreat, but the staff members felt a little bad.

The Hu Ben Navy suddenly appeared so many warships, roughly erected, at least 300. In terms of the number, the warships of the Hu Ben Navy are more than four times that of the Dutch Navy. Such a comparison of troops is indeed too dangerous. If it is not handled well, maybe the 14th Fleet of the Dutch Navy will suffer a catastrophe.

Moreover, in terms of the tonnage of a single warship, the Hu Ben Navy and the Dutch Navy are not far from each other. The smallest warships on the other side should have a displacement of more than 300 tons. The ordinary warships of the Dutch Navy also have a displacement of about 500 tons. There are only about ten large warships over 1,000 tons. To talk about the total tonnage of warships on both sides, the Hu Ben Navy is estimated to have a displacement of 120,000 tons. In terms of the Dutch Navy, there are only less than 60,000 tons, less than half of the other side.

If the number of artillery on both sides is probably even greater. The number of artillery in the Hu Ben Navy is at least 10,000. The average number of artillery in each of the more than 30 large warships has more than 30 artillery. The number of artillery in the Rezger fleet is less than 4,000. The number of artillery in the Dutch warships with the same tonnage is obviously not as good as that of the Hu Ben Navy.

Sea combat is very important to strength. In the vast sea, there is almost no way to take a trick. It is indeed very difficult to challenge the total tonnage of 120,000 tons of warships with a total tonnage of 10,000 tons. It is even more difficult to challenge 10,000 cannons with 4,000 cannons. To put it brutal, such behavior is simply suicide.

Faced with such a strong enemy, even the extremely powerful Dutch dared not say that he would win. Without enough strength, how could he challenge the other party? The only possibility is that the other party's IQ is too low and he makes mistakes repeatedly. However, will the Tiger Army Navy make mistakes again and again? Dutch Bluffhead said that it is very stressed.

"Prepare for the fight!"

Rezger ordered without hesitation.

Of course he understood that the Hu Ben Navy wanted to eat him and the 14th Dutch Navy Fleet under his command. Judging from the current situation, the Hu Ben Navy should have dispatched all the troops, and all the warships were dispatched to the front line. Such preparations are not enough. Such appetite is not bad. However, if the Hu Ben Navy wants to eat him, it must first see how many front teeth it has!

The number of Dutch warships was not as large as that of the Hu Ben Navy. The total tonnage of warships was also far inferior to that of the other side. However, in terms of average tonnage, it was much stronger than the Hu Ben Navy. Especially in terms of artillery caliber, the power of shells was much stronger than that of the Hu Ben Navy. This was Rezger's biggest advantage.

Suddenly, the Hu Ben Navy played a flag linger. Every Dutchman who saw this flag lingered was so angry that his face turned red. Some even cursed fiercely. The staff members who tried to persuade Rezger to retreat also gave up the idea of ​​retreating. Nothing else, the flag lingered by the Hu Ben Navy deeply stimulated their self-esteem.

"It's too much!"

As a lieutenant general of the Dutch Navy and the commander of the 14th Fleet of the Dutch Navy, Rezger couldn't help but curse a standard oriental idiom. It turned out that the Hu Ben Navy actually wanted the Dutch Navy to surrender! It also insulted Rezger's personal personality!

The Hu Ben Navy generously stated that as long as Rezger put on women's clothes and danced on his flagship, the Hu Ben Navy would give up a way to retreat the entire Dutch army. If Rezger did not agree, they would all die here.

"You all go to die!"

Rezger yelled without hesitation.

"fire!"

"Surprise shot!"

Rezger quickly ordered.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

The various artillery of the Dutch fleet opened fire one after another.

The fierce sound of cannons instantly broke the silence on the sea surface. Balls of fire and white smoke kept gushing out. If the sea surface just now was still a deep pool in winter, with a calm surface and a turbulent wave under the darkness, then the sea surface is now completely boiling and keeps emitting white steam.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

Of course, the Hu Ben Navy would not show weakness, and they also fired fire. The number of warships and artillery numbers were more than that of the Dutch. If all the artillery fired, the entire battlefield would be even hotter. The flames continued, turning the entire sea surface into a dusk-like color.

Amid the fierce sound of artillery, the four fleets of the Hu Ben Navy approached the Rezger fleet from four directions. This was the combat plan that the Hu Ben Navy had decided early in the morning. The purpose of course was to encircle the Dutch in the middle and to damage the other party as much as possible. Once the encirclement was completed, it would be very difficult for the Dutch to escape.

Zhang Zhun's attitude was very firm. Even if he paid the same price, the Hu Ben Navy would fight to the death with the Dutch. He fought for consumption and casualties. The Hu Ben Navy was never afraid of it. The Hu Ben Navy would have more warships and more sailors next year to enrich the fleet. Even if the Hu Ben Navy suffered heavy losses in this battle, it would be compensated soon.

Under the siege of the Hu Ben Navy, the Dutch fleet in the middle suddenly became a target of artillery fire. All the various warships of the Hu Ben Army lined up in a circle, sieging the Dutch warships in the middle, and then fired desperately. The Dutch were not willing to be outdone, and also kept firing outside. The battle broke out like this.

"Take face and suffer!"

Huang Shijun held up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and cursed in a low voice.

This Dutch fleet was trapped in the siege of the Hu Ben Navy and was besieged by all the warships of the Hu Ben Navy. It was entirely because of their face. The Dutch cared too much about their face and lost their basic judgment ability. Rezger knew that the strength of his fleet was far inferior to that of the Hu Ben Navy, but he still had to fight to the end and not retreating. It can only be said that it was a sin of heaven and could still survive, but he could not survive.

In fact, if Rezger quickly ran away, the Huben Navy would not be able to catch them all at once. After all, chasing on the sea would be a very difficult thing. Otherwise, Rezger would have already captured Seviara. The Dutch were much more familiar with the South China Sea than the Huben Navy.

Originally, the Dutch Navy had a more powerful 180-pound cannon (caliber equal to 203 mm). However, this super-large cannon was only installed on the largest warship of the Dutch Navy, which was a battleship with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons. In the Far East, there were no such warships. Only the Dutch Admirals were qualified to command such super warships.

Even so, heavy artillery with a caliber of 152 mm and 149 mm is enough to cause serious damage to the Hu Ben Navy. In terms of the Hu Ben Navy, the largest artillery with a caliber is only 120 mm. Judging from the caliber data, it seems that the difference is not much. In fact, in terms of the weight of the shells, the two are half the difference.

"Oh shit!"

"What a great cannon!"

"The Dutch are still a little capable!"

On Seviara's flagship, Hiberthomas swears in a rare manner.

They are outsiders, and they can watch the battle between dragons and tigers at sea more clearly. They also have more time to appreciate some of the details. While watching the battle, they also hope to gain more experience. In fact, Hiberthomas is not as optimistic as the top leaders of the Tiger Ben Navy, believing that they can solve the other party in just two hours.

The British fought with the Dutch navy many times, and they were very clear about the strength of the Dutch navy. Hiberthomas knew very well that the Dutch navy could not be easily annihilated. If the Tiger Army Navy did not swarm like a wolf pack, it would be bad. Even if it had an absolute advantage in military strength, the Tiger Army Navy would have to pay a considerable price to eat the Dutch Navy's Rezger fleet. It can be said that this was a top-notch match against the wheat and evenly matched.

The largest caliber artillery of the Hu Ben Army Navy is only 120 mm. It seems that the difference is not far from the caliber. In fact, the power is quite far. Take solid bullets for example. The solid bullets fired by a 120 mm caliber artillery weigh only 40 pounds. The solid bullets fired by a 149 mm caliber artillery weighed 80 pounds. It is twice as heavy as the caliber artillery. Not to mention the 152 mm caliber artillery.

The weight of solid bullets means that they are also destructive. Eighty-pound shells hit the warships have a completely different effect than those of only forty-pound shells. With the side of the Dragon God Ship of the Tiger Army Navy, even if the protective facilities such as raw cowhide are installed, once they are 80-pound or 100-pound heavy artillery are caught. If such heavy artillery hits the mast directly, the mast will be interrupted on the spot, and there is no chance of saving it.
Chapter completed!
