The Dutch ships near the front were beaten the worst because they came like fish and turned slowly. The two merchant ships in the middle suddenly broke out and were beaten so badly. After the upper and lower lines crossed, at least eight ships bombarded the two merchant ships facing each other at the first time, smashing their fronts to pieces, and almost all the bows were broken. The personnel damage was also quite heavy. Even if the Dutch people could win, they could not leave the battlefield on the spot. They needed major repairs and then slowly entered the port. It would take at least three months to repair and set sail again.

Of course, Hutchison would not care about this matter. Two merchant ships continued to attack the Dutch merchant ships. The other party also fought back artillery after passing across the side. Because the Dutch ship suffered heavy losses, it seemed weak when fighting back.

The other two ships, one Zhenluwei and one merchant ship, cooperated to attack the Batavia and tied the large Garen ship in the middle to attack. However, Batavia was not seriously damaged at the beginning, but the hull was hit by several guns, which was not very harmful. When the counterattack was fierce, the firepower was fierce. The round of fires burst out on the side of the ship's side, and shells kept hitting the Zhenluwei and the merchant ship, making the two ships unable to raise their heads. The deck was already in a mess, with crew members and sailors killed and injured.

The four schooners exchanged fire with four other Dutch warships. The schooners snatched the upper hand and crossed the hull. The Dutch were at a disadvantage. The hull was inclined at a sufficient angle and was pressed by the four schooners. The tonnages of the two sides were similar, both high and low. The schooners generally ranged from about 400 to 500 tons, and the Garen ships were mostly similar.

The two sides kept bombarding, and almost after they were anchored, they kept bombarding each other. In contrast, the situation was quite obvious. Hutchison's fleet was very queuing, and often two ships cooperated. The battle line was originally to maximize the firepower of the fleet's sideways, which was the so-called battle line. The Dutch fleet had already exposed serious shortcomings at this time... They were in chaos and fought on their own, as if each ship was facing the attack of the entire fleet.

From the perspective of Chang Wei and others, the naval battle is still in a stalemate, and the front lines of both sides are relatively stable, and there is no sign of collapse on either side. Hutchison has some initiative, but it is still quite far from victory.

Half an hour after the naval battle, the sound of artillery gradually became sparse, and each ship suffered serious injuries. The main reason was that the iron cannons of each ship were overheated and needed to cool for a period of time before firing intensively. Only a small number of artillery fired not much before this, so they kept firing sporadically.

This is actually a change that occurred after the naval battle between the British fleet and the Spanish fleet. The naval battle against the Invincible fleet is definitely a revolution in the history of naval battles. Therefore, even hundreds of years later, that naval battle was studied by many scholars and is known as one of the four famous naval battles in human history.

The main reason is that although the Invincible Fleet has various warships and armed merchant ships of nearly 60,000 tons, the Spanish ships are too bulky and do not pay much attention to steering and speed. Moreover, the artillery is mostly heavy artillery with rock-knocking bullets at close range. Each ship has more army personnel than seamen, which makes the control of the ships relatively clumsy. Moreover, the Spanish still adopts the tactical thinking of the medieval era. Although their Invincible Fleet dispatched sixty or seventy warships, 2,431 artillery, 19,000 army and quite a few slaves who row and drive, the sailors only have eight thousand seamen, and they still have heavy land battles and jump gangs.

The ships of the Invincible Fleet are equipped with a large number of hook ropes to hook enemy ships and conduct jumping wars. Their artillery is all short-range heavy artillery, which is used to support the upcoming jumping wars at close range.

Such a powerful fleet had 60,000 people, 60,000 tons of tonnage, and more than 2,000 artillery pieces. As a result, the British army only paid the price of more than 100 casualties and was destroyed.

The main reason is that the British changed their tactics and tactics. British naval ships were lighter, their sailors were bolder, more careful and more powerful. They dared to sail in the storm and rain. The Invincible Fleet could only patrol back and forth on the calm Mediterranean coast. The British were the first maritime powers to pay sailors. Although they only had four pennies a day, their sailor status was incomparable to other countries at that time. In the Invincible Fleet, more sailors were just slaves captured. How could they control warships with the British?

The most important point is that the British used long-range artillery, which only made tactical preparations for long-range artillery strikes, and prepared the supply of artillery shells in advance.

In this naval battle, the war did not end in one day, but lasted for several days.

The Spanish began to fight, and they also suffered losses to the British. On their side, they lost more than a dozen ships on the first day, and most of the British's casualties were killed or injured on the first day.

However, the next day, the Spaniards retreated like sheep, because their shells and gunpowder were consumed and they had to retreat for supplies, and the British were easily supplied and more fleets gathered.

In the Spanish record at that time, the British were quite flexible in controlling ships. They were good at grasping the wind direction, rising and going up and going freely, and often pressing Spanish ships to the limelight, and suddenly going to the port and starboard, using left and right gun wheels to continuously attack enemy ships.

The naval battle in front of us is actually a replica of the naval battle decades ago. Both sides used the same giant ships, cannons and armed merchant ships, the same artillery tactics, and the same long-range precision shooting. However, the British and the Dutch were actually teachers, while the Chinese were Hutchison's naval masters were just their primary school students, but the students were not necessarily inferior to the teachers. At least on the sea battlefield in front of us, Hutchison not only did not fall behind, but also took the initiative.

Sun Jingting looked at the situation in front of him and sighed: "It's so terrible. I think even if I can't win this battle, I won't lose a crushing defeat. At most, I'll resume a stalemate in the future. This is great, very good."

Chang Wei bit his lip and nodded slightly.

It seems like this now. Both sides bombarded with all their might. I don’t know how many shells were fired during this period. The entire sea surface seemed to be lit by shells. The water surface was boiling, and there were huge water columns rising everywhere, almost one of which was not stopped and the other was rising again. After an hour, the artillery of both sides was overheated and the ammunition reserves were insufficient. Therefore, the fire started at intervals, and the sound of the cannons continued, and water columns rose from time to time.

Chang Wei cannot be said to be dissatisfied with the situation in front of him. At present, Hutchison Navy has done everything he can do. After all, although there are more ships, Hutchison's small merchant ships are far from being compared with Dutch armed merchant ships. The total tonnage is definitely weaker. Moreover, Hutchison's experience cannot be compared with Dutch sailors. He can fight like this, and he has gained the upper hand since he fought. The schooner also manipulated Ruyi and seized the upper hand like the Spanish portrayed the British in the Battle of the West.

The wind can be switched at will. After the cannons on one side overheated, they can turn their heads lightly and continue to bombard the other side. The sound of cannons that keep ringing now is that the schooners and sailboats continue to fire. The Dutch Garen ships are very difficult to turn. They either cease fire and wait for the cannons to cool down, or they are bombarded many rounds when turning around. However, seeing that the Dutch's plan is in chaos, some ships are turning around, and some are fired by cannons. It seems that they do not intend to turn around forcibly under the threat of artillery.

This situation will be so until dark. Every ship may be covered with scars, but the Dutch can return to Jelancha City smoothly because the distance is very close, where they can repair the ships and level the wounds. Their strength is still above the Taiwan Marine Division, and there will be a huge trouble in the future. If you want to solve this problem, this naval battle must come to an end!

But it's really too difficult...

The power of artillery in these days cannot be said to be small. It is normal for a single shot to hit the infantry ranks and kill dozens of people. The shells fell on the hull. Even the strongest oak or oak still flew across the wood, making a huge hole, but that's it... The shells just made a hole. What else do you want? What high-explosive armor-piercing shells? More than 200 years later, even if it was a naval artillery battle two hundred years later, it was difficult to sink them. How powerful was the shells at that time? In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japanese ships surrounded the two ships of Dingzhen, and each ship was shot countless times. In the end, they returned to the port safely?

The biggest possible result is that as Sun Jingting said, it was tied and deadlocked. By night, the enemy did not sink a ship on the enemy. Of course, the enemy did not sink a ship on this side. In the end, both fleets returned to the port with scars on their bodies. Everyone started to repair the hull. After Hutchison repaired, the Dutch side was of course the same. It was probably the same if they fought again... But the Dutch were able to waste time. They also had other fleets to maintain the trade channel on the sea. Hutchison side, but the whole family was in battle in all kinds of battles. If they couldn't win, or if they could not fight the Dutch fleet, it would be a waste of effort...

"Difficult, difficult!" Li Pingzhi also gritted his teeth and said, "I have heard that Europeans fought naval battles. There were hundreds of ships, thousands of cannons, and hundreds of thousands of people on both sides. After a few days, there were only two ships that actually sunk!"

If this continues, the most likely result is that Chang Wei, Li Pingzhi and others are unwilling to accept it. The draw is tied. After dark, both sides will withdraw their bases.

Li Pingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "We must try our best. If this continues, it will not be a matter."

Chang Wei's eyes flashed for a moment, and he seemed to be moved.

Sun Jingting knew nothing about the naval battle, so he could only look at everyone with a calm expression. No matter what, the Taiwan Marine Department decided that he would not interfere with it.

Zhang Xuwen, who had not spoken at this time, said: "Don't be impulsive."
