Prous panicked and ran back to Heliao Port quickly. .

But before he arrived, Zheng Zhilong's forty ships had arrived quickly, three midships and more than one hundred cannons were aimed at Heliao Port, and they were all set up to fight to the death.

Putmans had already discovered it and was ready for war.

Barissa looked quite shocked, stood in Putmans and said anxiously, "Your Excellency, is this a warship from the Ming Dynasty? Why do they have warships? The artillery is not very similar to the Portuguese!"

Putmans also frowned, feeling uneasy, but he didn't have time to think too much, so he ordered: "Come on!"

Barissa hurriedly said, "Yes!"

They are now blocked here, and there is no other way except to fight.

Putmans now has more than fifty ships and more than twenty warships, but there are only three gunships, the others are fire ships, and many of them are temporary reconstructions of merchant ships.

The Hector is thirty-five meters, and the other two are more than twenty, and are equipped with more than seventy artillery pieces in total.

The Hector sailed out and came directly across. The muzzle was facing the west side outside Heliao Port, that is, the other two gunboats were in the same posture, forming a row, and the remaining arson ships rushed forward quickly towards Zheng Zhilong's fleet, as fast as the wind.

Zheng Zhilong's forty warships and three medium-sized ships were equipped with more than 120 artillery guns, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Zheng Zhilong was very nervous. He had fought naval battles when he was a pirate, but they were all small fights. This was the first time a regular army had fought. Because of the cautious aura in the army, he was now trying hard to start the war.

He held the telescope and observed his every move on the other side, trying to imitate while thinking about cracking.

After a while, a captain said to him, "Sir, you have entered a range of a thousand feet."

Zheng Zhilong's telescope saw three Dutch warships lying there, and a group of small boats swarmed in.

He suppressed his uneasiness and said in a deep voice, "Stop the ship, fire the artillery! Try the small ship to approach the enemy ship quickly and attack with arrows!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zheng Zhilong ordered the three ships to turn the direction and more than 60 cannons fired.

Bang bang bang

The cannons opened fire eight hundred feet away, and the cannons roared, and shells flew out and headed straight for the Dutch fleet.

Small ships rushed towards Heliao Port.

Putmans looked shocked as the shells flew over, and almost couldn't hold the telescope in his hand.

Bang bang bang

The shells exploded nearby, stirring up water columns and splashing water, like rain.

Balisa's eyes were solemn, and she said, "Your Excellency, the range of Ming people's cannons is farther than ours. We can't shoot them, and they have more cannons than us."

Putmans said with a cold face: "Get close, and the arson ship will raid!"

"Yes!" Balisa looked serious.

Things have repeatedly exceeded their expectations, and now we can only fight to the death!

The Dutch warships drove forward to fight against the Ming Dynasty gunboats, but they did not place their hopes on the warships, but on the fireboats!

Zheng Zhilong held the telescope and watched all the movements on the opposite side. Seeing the enemy ship approaching, especially the arson ships, his face was cold and said, "Let the small ships intercept all enemy ships!"

"Abide by the order!"

More than 30 small ships rushed forward quickly, and there were more than 100 people on each ship, more than 50 musketeers, more than 50 arrow artillery soldiers, muskets, and bows and arrows all aimed at them from a distance.

Bang bang bang

Within three hundred meters, the muskets on the Ming Dynasty ships began to fire at these arson ships, and within two hundred meters, the arrow launchers began to fire.

The fireboats and ships are not big, and the muskets have relatively little attack power, but the arrows are different. They will explode as long as they are shot on the ship. These merchant ships can withstand it. If they are not bombed for a few times, they will stop, stop, and sink.

More than 30 small ships stopped more than 50 arson ships. The soldiers on the ship had discovered that these arrow artillery were very useful and were attacked with arrow artillery.

The situation at sea is almost in one-sided change, with the sound of cannons rumbling, the explosion is dense, the sea water rolls, and the red water is like a stream.

Putmans looked clearly in the telescope, and his expression was extremely ugly.

He never expected that things would develop to this extent.

He came with great confidence and was sure that 300 people could occupy Taiwan, but now this is the situation!

Suddenly, two shells exploded on the Hector, and the ship suddenly shook and swayed violently.

Putmans almost fell down, stood firmly on the railing, his eyes flashed quickly.

Barissa got up from the deck, came to Putmans, and said anxiously: "What should I do now, Your Excellency?"

The Ming Dynasty's firearms were more advanced than them, and the ships were stronger than them. Now they are almost targets! If this continues, you will definitely lose!

Putmans held the telescope and observed the surroundings tremblingly, frowned and dark.

Bang bang bang

More than 60 cannons in the Ming Dynasty were concentrated on bombardment, and they were quite grand in terms of formation or sound of cannons.

Zheng Zhilong was paying attention to the battlefield and finally woke up and said in a deep voice; "The red-haired man is strong on the outside and is strong on the inside. He will attack me with all his strength and mobilize all the cannons!"

"yes!"

The cannons on the other side were quickly transferred over, and more than one hundred cannons were increasing exponentially, and the morale of the Ming army was also rising.

Boom boom boom boom

The sound of cannons was like thunder, resounding across the sea, and black shells, like huge raindrops, fell rapidly towards Putmans' head.

Bang bang bang

Three shells hit a Dutch warship, the ship was shaking violently, the smoke was rolling, and the fire was raging.

There were no one knowing how many people were killed by the bombing, and the ship quickly began to sink. The white people living on it shouted and were in horrified.

Balisa held the railing and opened her eyes wide, "See, your lord, their arson ship is here!"

A few hundred meters away from the Hector, small ships approached, and clear musketeers could be seen above, aiming at them.

Putmans looked at the sea, and his mind was not in mind. He suddenly seemed to be awake and shouted, "Shoot, shoot!"

He spoke all the way, and there were many soldiers immediately on the side of the ship, holding guns, waiting for the Ming Dynasty ship to reach the shooting range and preparing to shoot.

But before two hundred meters had reached, the Ming Dynasty's muskets began to fire, and bullets were coming like rain.

"Your Mightiness!"

Barissa knocked Putmans down and shouted: "Sir, the range of Mingren's muskets is also farther than ours, go quickly!"

Putmans was no longer as calm as before, and got up and ran into the cabin in a very embarrassed manner.

There were more and more small ships approaching, and muskets shot continuously, and the Dutch soldiers on the top could not raise their heads.

Not long after, the distance reached two hundred meters and reached the shooting range of the bow and arrow.

"Arrow artillery, shoot!"

The captain on the small ship shouted in a deep voice and waved his long sword.

The spearmen put down their spears, picked up bows and arrows, and began to shoot towards the Hector.

There is almost no requirement for this kind of shooting, just hit it.

Bang bang bang

Arrow launchers exploded, blowing the Hector out of recognition, smoke and dust filled the sky, trembling violently.

Putmans and Barissa, who had just escaped to the cabin, stopped and turned to look. They saw that arrows seemed to fall like rain. It would not take long before the warship would be sank like this!

Barissa's heart was cold, and she looked at Putmans and her mouth moved without saying a word.

But Putmans's expression gradually calmed down and looked at Balisa and said, "We seem to have done something stupid to provoke a country that cannot be provoked."

Balisa nodded, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak.

A shell landed on the bow of the ship, and the bang exploded, causing the entire ship to explode as if it was about to fall apart, and even more sank.

"Your Excellency..." Balisa said in a trembling voice. He didn't want to die, he would definitely die if he continued like this!

Putmans stood firmly with his iron chains, and his expression remained unchanged: "Balisa, wave the white flag, I want to talk to the commander of the Ming Dynasty."

Balisa's mouth moved, then calmed down and said, "It's your lord!"

The Hector was slowly sinking, but at the highest point, a large white flag was shaking back and forth.

Zheng Zhilong soon saw the flag, his heart thumped and said loudly: "Stop the shelling, order the small ship to board the ship, control everyone, dare to resist, and kill them!"

"As for order!" A captain next to him sent a mission.

The artillery fire in the Ming Dynasty stopped, and the Dutch and Filipinos on the warships slowly threw away their guns and allowed Ming Dynasty soldiers to board the ship.

Putmans walked over and looked at the leader of the captain, without saying anything, and the other party couldn't understand it even after he spoke. His face was extremely calm and his eyes were not afraid.

The captain was not so polite, and directly tied up all the white people like rice dumplings, throwing them onto their ship, allowing the Hector to remain silent.

Zheng Zhilong slowly turned to Anping City with ten prisoners, more than 700 Dutch soldiers and more than 2,000 Filipino servants.

After Han Ziji learned the news, he was extremely happy. Not long after, Zhao Yingchen, Chichicheng, also heard from him that the Dutch who had landed on the island had been eliminated!

“That’s great!”
