The night was deep, and the thick clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight without a drop. The world fell into chaos.
The Dutch didn't surrender for a reason. Because they feel there is still a chance. And tonight is an opportunity. The clouds blocked the moonlight from the boss, and it seemed that the gods were blessing them.
Around the hour, the Dutch didn't light even a torch, and quietly touched the ship. Although there is no light in the sky tonight, the sea is surprisingly calm, without wind and waves. It is a good time for a surprise attack!
The Dutch were very nervous, even the paddle of the rowing boat did not dare to slap the water, fearing that such a little movement would attract the attention of the Ming army.
"I hope no accidents will happen tonight! These barbarians abandoned by God, I must make them look good!" Standing on the coast, Governor Cohen of the Dutch East India Company, looking at the black and crushing Ming army warship in the distance, viciously Said.
"Your Excellency, we will succeed this time, and God will bless us," said the attendant next to him.
Cohen nodded. Success or failure depends on this. If it doesn't work tonight, you will have to surrender tomorrow. Originally, Cohen wanted to have some achievements in Asia. At the beginning, he did have good achievements, but after failing to occupy Macau and the Penghu Islands, he had to set his sights on Taiwan. And now, Taiwan can't stay any longer, he came to this small island. Now that the island doesn’t let us stay, let’s let us live? Cohen really wants to ask Wei Ming, how can the Dutch have a foothold in Asia? In order to invade Macau and the Penghu Islands, Cohen basically mobilized the Dutch power in Asia to the Ming Dynasty. But now that he has suffered heavy losses, how can he deal with himself? He can be considered desperate. If this battle is not won, he believes that the Ming Dynasty will not let him go. At that time, the Dutch colonies in Asia may have to give in. The Dutch must withdraw from Asia. I believe that the Dutch have not had the opportunity to enter Asia again for a long time. This is something Cohen cannot tolerate. Asia is very important to the Netherlands. He also wants to open up the Ming Dynasty market and ship raw silk, porcelain, and tea back to the Netherlands! In that case, you can definitely make a fortune. With funds, the Dutch have more power to invade more land, and then have more wealth, to invade the land again, forming a virtuous circle. The Ming Dynasty was an indispensable part. And he also thinks that the people of the Ming Dynasty are much easier to use than other slaves. These are all resources! Cohen felt that he was a businessman, and if he could have enough benefits, he could dance with the devil. That's why he cooperated with the rebel forces of the Ming Dynasty. But now, he couldn't feel that the rebellious forces could bring him even a trace of help, and even the promised partnership attack on the center and the left did not happen, which made Cohen extremely disappointed with the Ming Dynasty people. Why doesn't Wei Ming cooperate with him? Doesn't he want more benefits, more power, and higher status? He really didn't understand Wei Ming's thoughts.
At night, Wei Ming was asleep, and suddenly felt a shock, and a dull explosion sounded not far away. Wei Ming got up from the bed with Ji Ling, his ears were stunned, and several explosions occurred one after another. It seemed that the enemy had really attacked at night.
Putting on his clothes in a hurry, opened the hatch, and looked into the distance, he could still vaguely see some sparks, which were left behind by the sunken enemy ship. Qin Yuxin stood there at the door, guarding everything around him. The saber has already been out of its sheath, and even the life-saving tools needed for falling into the water are ready. Seeing Wei Ming came out, he put on a water jacket on Wei Ming, and also prepared a simple lifebuoy made of balsa wood to put on Wei Ming. In this way, even if you fall into the sea, you will have a certain chance of survival, and you will not be drowned, and you will be able to search and rescue.
After all this was over, Lu Xiangsheng also rushed over. Wei Ming is the backbone of this team. In fact, the opponent doesn't need to do anything more, as long as they kill Wei Ming, they will win the battle. Lu Xiangsheng can't say what will happen then. Maybe the whole army is excited and desperate to find the Dutchman, so there will be battles. If the head coach dies and the whole army collapses, then this battle will not be fought. At that time, I still don't know who beat whom. It's not that such a thing has never happened before, and no one dares to be careless.
"How many people are there on the enemy?" Wei Ming asked.
"The specific situation is still unclear, but according to the information sent back, it should be no less than 100. The Dutch don't dislike anything now. It is said that a lot of fishing and merchant ships have been hijacked and armed to fight against us. "Lu Xiangsheng said.
"This shows that they are really at the end of their lives. Now I don't understand why they chose to attack the center-left post. It is simply sending death. I don't think it will be that simple. However, since they have come to such a step. So, then get ready to accept the punishment of failure. No one is a child anymore, and you are responsible for what you do. Now there is no use in stubborn resistance. Pass the order, don’t attack, just defend. Be careful to let the enemy drill. The gap was lost and unnecessary losses were caused. When it was ten minutes, Tianming would not be able to escape even if he wanted to escape." Wei Ming said lightly.
"Yes!" Lu Xiangsheng agreed and arranged. Qin Yuxin didn't know what it was like looking at Wei Ming, who was getting more and more aura of superiors. It is joy, of course, which woman does not want her man to be a hero with indomitable power? Now, after Wei Ming attacked Jin Mongol, Nanping rebelled, and wiped out the Dutch bandits, they can all be regarded as great merits. Who dares to say that this is not a great merit? Who would dare to say that Wei Ming is not a national hero? There is also loss. Because the farther Wei Ming walked on this road, the more difficult it would be to return. She was tired of the intrigues of the court, especially after Wei Ming's accident in Liaodong. As long as people are peaceful, life can still be happy and full even if everything is lost. But if the people are gone, what is the use of giving Qin Yuxin more money and power? A hundred years later, what can be taken away when you return to the dust? Only memories. And if the human is gone, where will the memories come from? I'm afraid that the memories will be scarce at that time. Isn't it boring to spend a lifetime
The Dutch were blocked by a mine, and the flames of the sunken ship completely exposed the Dutch's position. The Dutch panicked. But the more you panic, the more things go wrong. Ships are constantly being blown over by mines. Before the people above can figure out what is going on, they fall into endless darkness, cold all over, and then slowly lose consciousness. Until I don't know anything. The Ming Army didn't mean to be polite with them. Since you are so ignorant to attack at night, then let you know what cruelty is! Anyone is willing to do things that beat a dog in the water. The Ming army really hadn't tried shelling at night, and was a little excited. There are ready-made targets right now, so there is no need for them. It's not in vain to use it. One gun was aimed at the Dutchman’s ship, and following the command of the colonel, one round of shells hit the Dutchman’s ship. Many of the ships hijacked by the Dutch are offshore fishing vessels and merchant ships. How much defense can you expect from this ship? Some ships were not even directly hit by the artillery fire, but just fell apart after being affected. And the Dutch above can only scream and fall into the cold water to meet their god.
"Your Excellency, Ming Jun Mingxin is fully prepared, what are we going to do?" the attendant said.
"Waiting for an opportunity to find a breakthrough, I don't believe that they can do it seamlessly! As long as it is a human, there will be things that cannot be considered! I don't believe that Wei Ming is really as invincible as the legend! Man, I also want to bite off a piece of meat from him!" Cohen gritted his teeth. Since coming to Asia, he has been doing nothing to lose. Whether it is massacre or robbery, no one has ever dared to stand up and say nothing. Because the people who are talking about have sunk to the bottom of the sea. This also allowed him to be appointed governor of the Dutch East India Company. Wei Ming broke all his pride. Now things are a foregone conclusion. He only hopes that before the war is completely defeated, Wei Ming can also taste his own power and express his depressed mood.
"Yes!" The waiter responded and went down to pass the order.
