Chapter 1043 The Doom of Rezger (2)
Chapter 1043 Rezger’s Doomsday (Part 2)
(1043)
【Today's second update is delivered!】
The size of Rezger's flagship is indeed too large. In the eyes of ordinary people, the size of the Dragon God Ship is already quite large. However, compared with the Dragon God Ship and Rezger's flagship, it seems like a child who has not grown up, and the two are not of the same level at all.
Such a huge warship can certainly not be fast. Such a large warship pursues strong attack power and strong defense. In terms of operational flexibility and navigation speed, there must be inherent shortcomings.
While escaping, Rezger's flagship was surrounded and intercepted by a large number of warships of the Hu Ben Navy, and its navigation speed was even slower. The Hu Ben Navy had a large number of sword-toothed ships. Relying on its advantage in speed, it circled in front of Rezger's flagship and formed a T-type artillery battleship, and then continued to fire, trying to severely damage the opponent.
Unfortunately, the artillery fire of Rezger's flagship is indeed very fierce. The artillery fire of the Hu Ben Navy is fierce, and the artillery fire of Rezger's flagship is also fierce. The one hundred-pound cannon and eighty-pound cannon of the Dutch Navy pose a great threat to the Hu Ben Navy. In a short period of time, the warships of the Hu Ben Navy's navy were difficult to get close to the target.
"*** Mother!"
"I don't believe I can't catch you!"
Yang Guohua got angry. He lost so many warships in one battle, and he was about to go wild. If Rezger ran away, what would be wrong? If Rezger was let go, he would not be the commander of the naval army, and he would go home to farm.
"Send a flag!"
"At any cost!"
"We must destroy Rezger!"
Yang Guohua's eyes were too long and he shouted viciously.
"clear!"
The staff members hurriedly agreed to go.
The flag language was released, and the surrounding Tiger Army naval warships were all rushing towards Rezger's flagship as if they were injected with chicken blood. The thoughts of each captain were actually the same as Yang Guohua - they must kill Rezger! If Rezger ran away, even if Zhang Zhun didn't pursue it, they would be ashamed!
After uttering the flag, Yang Guohua started a practical action again. He organized fifteen sword-tooth ships and ten dragon god ships, and handed them over to the command of the Fourth Fleet Commander Huang Shijun to specifically capture Rezger. The situation of these warships was basically intact, and the number of sailors was relatively sufficient, so he could fight against Rezger's flagship.
"Huang Shijun! Your purpose is to catch Rezger! Whether it is dead or alive! Also, you must catch Rezger's flagship! You can't let him sank the warship! That's a good thing that the governor has always wanted!"
Yang Guohua advised Huang Shijun with a serious expression.
Capturing Rezger may be just for a perfect victory, or for the glory of the Hu Ben Navy. It may even be an important prop for the Hu Ben Navy to pass the test smoothly with Zhang Zhun. However, capturing Rezger's flagship is of far-reaching significance. Once this flagship falls into the hands of the Hu Ben Navy, there are many benefits!
Rezger had valuable information about the Dutch in his mind. He was a Dutch lieutenant general, a senior Dutch leader, and had a close relationship with many Dutch leaders. His understanding of the Netherlands' country, Dutch East India Company, and other European countries were incomparable to ordinary Dutch people. After interrogation, the Hu Ben Army's understanding of the Dutch, Southeast Asia, and Europe will be further deepened.
Rezger's flagship is what Xue Zhidie's shipyard needs the most. This is a big guy of 1,500 tons, and it must contain quite confidential manufacturing technology. Not to mention other things, the 100-pound cannon and 80-pound cannon equipped on it is a firearm that makes the Hu Ben Navy seriously jealous. If there is a physical comparison, Xue Zhidie's shipyard will be much smoother when researching and designing new warships.
"knew!"
"I can't catch Rezger, and I won't come back!"
Huang Shijun also took the initiative and said with a cold face.
After understanding the importance of the mission, Huang Shijun excitedly led the newly formed pursuit fleet to catch up with the Cruyff battleship, which fled alone. The other Hu Ben Navy warships, received orders from Yang Guohua, all withdrew from the pursuit operation.
At this time, Rezger's flagship was completely separated from other Dutch warships. In order to avoid being pursued by the Hu Ben Navy, those Dutch warships went their separate ways and soon disappeared. Soon, the Huang Shijun's pursuit fleet surged out from all directions, and once again surrounded the scarred Rezger.
"General, they are catching up again!"
A staff officer shouted in panic.
"Don't panic!"
Rezger said calmly.
Although he had never experienced such a miserable scene, Rezge was still relatively calm. Of course, he could also vaguely feel that he would not be able to escape this disaster. The warships of the Hu Ben Navy chased him fiercely, and Rezge understood that the Hu Ben Navy was going to kill him.
Rezger knew very well that his flagship was on the verge of collapse. Not to mention the damage to the hull, the most serious thing was the loss of the sailor. The captain of the flagship, the old naval colonel, had unfortunately died in battle. The current flagship was Rezger personally commanded. The combat-captain was also seriously insufficient.
However, it is impossible to surrender. Even though he is facing a desperate situation now and has no chance of survival, he still has no idea of surrender in his mind. As a Dutch lieutenant general, he cannot surrender, let alone let the enemy capture him alive. He would rather die in battle than fall into the hands of the enemy.
"laugh!"
Suddenly, a harsh sound came.
Rezger subconsciously looked up and found that the sail on the tail mast of the flagship was torn apart by the chain bounce. The direction of the chain bounce was very deadly, just tore the entire sails apart. The sea breeze swept through the middle of the sail without any effect. His brow couldn't help but frowned. The sail was torn apart, and the speed of the ship's sailing was affected. The warship, which was already unfast, was afraid that the speed would be slower.
Sure enough, after a moment, Rezger felt that the speed of the flagship had been significantly reduced. Surviving sailors wanted to climb the mast and tried hard to reconnect the sails. As a result, they were attacked by chain bombs and grape bombs from the Tiger Army Navy, all of which fell off the mast and were all killed.
The stern sail, which was unmanaged, was like a broken flag, shaking by the sea breeze. From time to time, strange sounds were made, as if mocking the Dutch's incompetence. The chain bombs and grape bombs fired by the Tiger Army Navy continued to fall. Obviously, the other party was stopping the Dutch from making any attempt to repair the sails.
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
The Dutch hadn't reacted yet, and the harsh sounds came again.
However, the sails of the flagship front mast and main mast were torn apart by chain blasts in many places. The sails were torn apart and could not convert wind power. The speed of Rezger's flagship became slower and slower. Any attempt by the Dutch sailors to repair the sails was strictly restricted by the Tiger Army Navy. In the end, Rezger's flagship could only float slowly on the sea like a snail.
Seizing this rare opportunity, chasing the Hu Ben Army naval battleships, constantly launching chain bombs, posing a great threat to the Dutch. Huang Shijun's strategy is very clear, that is, to first strand Rezger's flagship on the sea, and then eliminate it vigorously. After achieving the goal, the pursuit of the fleet and immediately launched a general attack.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
The sound of cannons resounded throughout the sea again.
One side attacked desperately, and the other side resisted desperately, and the battle was very fierce.
Rezger's flagship was besieged by more than 20 Naval Battleships of the Tiger Army, like a wounded lion landing in the brutal wolves. Although the wolves could not bite the lion to death, they kept pounced on them and kept biting them with wolf teeth, which still caused great damage to the lion. As time went by, the lion's body became more and more wounds, and the combat power naturally became weaker and weaker.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, another loud bang came.
The Dutch looked up and found that it was a chain blast that hit the main mast. Although the mast was not broken, it was just a fierce cut on the main mast. However, the chain blast still left a deep mark on the mast. The dropped chain blast also smashed the body of the Dutch sailor on the deck into a piece of blood-red meat sauce.
There is no doubt that all the sailors and non-combatants on the flagship have felt deep fear. They have realized that their doomsday has arrived. Once the main mast is interrupted, they have to wait to die. Without the main mast, it means that there is no main motivation and there is no chance to escape.
Rezger's countermeasures were to fire the gun. The only thing he could do was to use a hundred-pound cannon and eighty-pound cannon to keep firing and prevent the approach of the Hu Ben Navy warships. However, even he himself knew that such an approach could only be to slightly delay the enemy's approach. It would be impossible to avoid the fate of destruction.
Fierce gunfires were heard from the sea. The power of a hundred-pound gun was quite huge. If the warships of the Hu Ben Army Navy were hit, the consequences would be serious. However, it was impossible for Rezger to disperse the warships of the Hu Ben Army Navy. How could a wounded lion drive out a group of bloodthirsty jackals?
During the fierce battle, the Dutch sailors continued to suffer casualties. The artillery fire of the Hu Ben Army Navy was indeed too dense. Solid bullets, grape bullets, chain bullets... fell like a storm, without any interruption at all. Even hiding in the cabin, it could not guarantee its safety. Because the Hu Ben Army shells would also be shot in from the gun window. Sailors with combat capabilities continued to decrease.
Soon, there were less than 200 sailors with combat capabilities on Rezger's flagship. Without enough sailors, there was no way to fire. Without enough fire, there was no way to fire, there was no way to provide enough suppression firepower, and it was impossible to stop the warships of the Hu Ben Navy from approaching. In this way, the artillery fire of the Hu Ben Navy became even more fierce.
Not long after, the warships of the Tiger Army Navy approached less than 200 yards. The opponent was in the shooting dead corner of the bow and stern of the ship. Rezger's flagship lost a large amount of sails and could not turn around flexibly. Therefore, the attacks from these two directions made Rezger unable to deal with them.
In this regard, even the idiotic Dutch sailors knew that their situation was over. The enemy had already deployed powerful artillery fire in both directions. What awaited them was the fate of being sunk. If they did not surrender.
Rezger's heart was even more bitter. Unexpectedly, he would have such a day! No matter how brave or desperate he was, at this time, he could only admit that he was desperate and had no chance.
"Do you sink yourself?"
"Just detonate a few powder kegs..."
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Rezger's mind.
He could not easily let his flagship fall into the hands of the Hu Ben Navy. He knew very well that once this large warship was captured by the Hu Ben Navy, what benefits would the Hu Ben Navy get - they would know how to build huge warships, how to cast super-caliber artillery, and how to organize more sailors... All of this will make the Hu Ben Navy more powerful, becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
Now, he has enough time to sink himself. As long as he detonates a few powder kegs, after a loud bang, the Hu Ben Navy will get nothing. Or, as long as he detonates an explosive barrel at the bottom of the cabin, the large warship will slowly sink with ridicule. Similarly, the Hu Ben Navy will get nothing.
"cannot!"
"I can't do this!"
However, Rezger quickly rejected his ideas.
If he sank himself, all the two hundred remaining people on the flagship would be ruined. The Tiger Army Navy would never save the people who fell into the water. They would even shoot all the Dutch sailors who fell into the water. In other words, once he made the decision to sank himself, it would be equivalent to ruining the lives of all the people on the ship.
The lives of Dutch sailors are very precious, and Rezger dare not do anything easily. If the flagship is handed over, the lives of these sailors can be saved. Rezger is willing to choose the latter. This is also an unwritten rule of the Dutch Navy. As long as these sailors are still alive, they still have a chance to redeem them in the future. If they are beaten to death, there will be nothing left.
"His Excellency General Rezger, the Huben Navy, demands that you surrender unconditionally immediately! We guarantee the safety of your personal and personal property! We also guarantee that you will return to your country within three years!"
The flag slogan of the Hu Ben Army was typing out again.
This flag sentence made many Dutch people very confused.
If the Hu Ben Army threatened, if they did not surrender, they would have to kill their whole family, and they might have fought to the end. However, after the Hu Ben Army made such a promise, their minds would not help but move. After all, as long as they had the chance to live, no one would want to die, right? Besides, the Hu Ben Army Navy also promised to let them go back within three years.
The Dutch had no doubt about the promises of the Hu Ben Navy. They believed that the Hu Ben Navy was trustworthy. A navy that was not trustworthy could not gain a foothold in the ocean. Even British pirates had to make a promise as long as they made a promise. This was the basic rule on the ocean. Everyone's eyes were focused on Rezger.
Self-sinking, surrendering, suicide? Rezge stood blankly at the exit of the cabin, suddenly felt a tingling pain in his mind, and he fainted in a coma.
"Cease fire!"
"Cease fire!"
"We surrender!"
The staff members hurriedly shouted.
Soon, the flag words that were willing to surrender unconditionally were sent out. White cloth strips indicating surrender were hung on the mast of the Rezger flagship. The artillery fire gradually subsided, and the warships of the Tiger Army Navy quickly approached the Rezger flagship.
A moment later, a dragon ship leaned over, and Huang Shijun came up with a group of armed sailors. They quickly controlled the key points of the battleship Cruyff to prevent them from being sank. All the surviving Dutch sailors were driven to the deck.
Since neither side translated, these Dutch *** parts did not understand Chinese, so it was very difficult to communicate. After finally, I found a few Dutch sailors who knew Chinese a little, and the two sides had a difficult exchange.
"Where is Rezger?"
Huang Shijun asked impatiently.
“Inside.”
Dutch sailors stuttered in response.
At this time, the searching soldiers of the Tiger Army reported that they had found Rezger's body.
Huang Shijun rushed to the scene and regretfully discovered that Rezger was indeed dead. His neck was cut open and there was no possibility of saving it. After questioning, Huang Shijun learned that Rezger pretended to be unconscious and gave his subordinates an excuse to surrender. While his subordinates were busy surrendering, he quietly committed suicide. The suicide was his lieutenant general's sword. The blood on the sword had not been completely dry yet.
If a person dies, he will have no value. As the other party's lieutenant general, he still has to send him back to the Dutch people for burial. Huang Shijun sighed with regret, turned his head to look at the Dutch sailors, and said deeply: "You can select ten people and be responsible for sending their commander's body back to Batavia!"
The Dutch sailors were overjoyed and hurriedly selected ten people to come out, handle Rezger's body, and then waited to go back to Batavia. A confidant staff member of Rezger expressed his gratitude to Huang Shijun again for his generous pride.
Huang Shijun immediately arranged for the Dragon God Ship led by Aimes to send Rezger's body and the ten Dutchmen back to Batavia. The Dutch will definitely not obstruct such a thing. After Aimes arrives in Batavia, they should be treated with courtesy. Perhaps, they will also express their gratitude to Aimes. Soon, Aimes took his Dragon God Ship and Rezger's body and went south.
"Cancel team!"
Huang Shijun said with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
