Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Wipe out the Western Combined Fleet
The combined fleet of the Western Fans was quite helpless and fell into an embarrassing situation of being surrounded, and Okundo did not expect this situation to happen.
In his naval combat experience, he has always been just a direct confrontation between cannons, warships and warships, and perhaps some tactics of wolves fighting against tigers and wheels.
But he never thought that he had to survey the strength of the Ming navy a few years ago, and determine the trends of other Ming navy strength before sneak attacking the Ming Emperor's fleet, and even make some necessary feint attack strategies.
However, despite being the so-called famous general of the Flangji naval battle, Okundo's strategic thinking is still much simpler than the military strategic thinking of the Chinese nation, which has been fighting for thousands of years and even becoming a science. Even if they know themselves and enemies, they will not have this awareness.
After getting the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiaohui went out to sea by boat, they couldn't wait to sneak attack His Majesty's ship, hoping to resolve the maritime conflict with the Ming Dynasty in this way in the shortest time, so that they could continue to expand their maritime interests.
However, Zhu Youxiao had already figured out these details, and even knew himself better than Okundo himself. On the contrary, Okundo still doesn't know who these commanders of the Ming Navy are.
At this time, Okundo could only watch the Ming giant ship with the Yellow Dragon Flag flying away from the sea under the cover of five warships with the same firepower that should not be underestimated and stopped outside the safe area.
Zhu Youxiao did ask Gu Sanmazi to stop the battleship at this time, and he also went out of the cabin and used a monocular telescope to look at the scene of the battle ahead.
Zhu Youxiao saw with his own eyes that countless Western warships began to assemble and attempted to open the breakthrough to retreat. Qin Botong, the commander-in-chief of the three fleets on the Ming Dynasty, used the method of clamping to use smaller ships to attract enemy firepower, and allowed large-scale aircraft ships to shoot directly from the left and right sides to achieve the goal of driving these Western joint fleets into a narrow space and forcing them to be unable to turn.
The ship-based artillery on the Ming Dynasty kept hitting countless shells on the ships of these Western Combined Fleets. The ships of countless Western Combined Fleets were buried in the sea of fire in a moment and the entire sea surface was red and shiny.
Some of the soft sailboats of the Western Combined Fleet simply fell over and turned over, and countless Western sailors fell into the water, and wailing sounds continued.
When these Western Combined Fleets were squeezed to the point where they were completely unable to turn around, hundreds of giant cannons suddenly fired, and the fires spewed out hit the ships of these Western Combined Fleets with holes. From time to time, the ships sank into the sea. From time to time, the human body and the broken masts rushed into the sky and then fell into the sea to stir up huge waves.
Although Zhu Youxiao watched it on the spot, he did not participate in actual command. Doing so would only turn a winning battle into a failure. A principal in later generations failed because of too much intervention, so at this time he just sat quietly on the Ming Dynasty to watch the scenery.
At this time, the annihilation of the Western Fleet by the three Ming fleets was no surprise. The Ming ships were troublesome and directly used their hard armored bows to hit some Western Combined Fleet ships.
When the sky gradually became dark and more ships of the Western Combined Fleet were sunk, the ships of the remaining Western Combined Fleet had to raise white flags and pray for surrender.
For these Western fans, they were not willing to fight to the end. They cared more about interests. Now the facts told them that they could not wait for any benefits from the Ming Dynasty, so they did not feel the need to continue to fight, because once they continued to fight, their fleet would completely disappear, and they would lose all maritime interests, including what they had already obtained.
After all, they still need to keep elite troops to maintain the ruling order of their colonial areas.
At this time, when Heiwa saw that the ships of the Western Combined Fleet had all raised white flags, he had to temporarily stop attacking and send someone to Zhu Youxiao for advice.
In fact, before Heiwa's people came to report, Zhu Youxiao had already guessed through telescope observation that these Western combined fleets would surrender before their strength was completely damaged, so as to have enough strength to control their existing marine colonial interests.
"If you kill the grass, you must eliminate the roots. You should not learn from the overlord Xiang Yu. No matter how these Western priests beg for mercy, they must be annihilated. These are the essence of Western priests. Only by annihilation of them all can you completely end the history of Western priests dominating the ocean world! What's more, it is simply a great sin to deceive me if these barbarians dare to attack my imperial ships. How can they tolerate it?"
After Zhu Youxiao said this, the three fleets of the Ming Dynasty continued to attack these Western joint fleets, while Okundo and others couldn't help but scold the Ming Dynasty for not paying attention to humanitarianism and that he had surrendered and had to attack his fleet.
But no matter what, now Okundo must admit that he has to face the fate of being destroyed. Seeing that the combined fleet he led had no more than a few surviving warships, he couldn't help but pull out his command knife and try to wipe his neck directly, but he didn't have the courage to commit suicide, because in the battle he experienced was not so cruel that he had to live to the death. In his consciousness, if he could not defeat it, he would just surrender.
He didn't expect that there would be only life and death in the battle in the Ming Dynasty, so Okundo, who was still unwilling to end his life, did not wipe his neck, but sat dejectedly on the ground.
The so-called famous Dutch general Trop directly ordered his flagship to crash into the Ming Dynasty "Yu Qian" in front of him, but was bombarded by two Ming fleets on both sides. In an instant, Trop's flagship was blown into two pieces, and Trop himself was separated from his limbs.
In the end, no ship of the Western Combined Fleet survived. Only 30 Western Fleets, including Okundo, were captured by the Ming Navy because the ship had not completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, and were directly taken to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao didn't have the intention to talk nonsense with this legendary figure of Folangji. He directly ordered people to behead thirty Western fans, including Okundo. His head was treated with lime and hung directly on the lighthouse at the Macau port, so as to tell the Western countries that they would dare to invade the Ming Dynasty again, and that was to die by beheading.
