On the vast sea, fifteen battleships were connected with a stern and stretched for more than a mile, with murderous aura. ?? Eight? One Chinese W? W? W?. ? 8㈧1ZW. COM

For an instant, the enthusiasm of the Dutch was frozen like a cold north wind, and it was clear that the king Qi they faced was not a simple native.

"Damn! Rod, you should tell me there is a powerful fleet here." Claire said madly.

Fanaticism does not mean stupidity. Their warships are all Tier 3 sailing warships, but in terms of firepower they have already lost, making them even more uncertain about how the fleet that appeared suddenly trained?

Rod opened his mouth. He finally understood why King Qi would make such a rude request. The fleet in front of him had already explained everything.

"King Chu deceived us, King Chu must be deliberate." Luo Luo angrily shouted, "He concealed everything from us to let us enter this trap."

At this time, Sakai also saw the fleet on the sea through the telescope. The warships of this fleet were not much different from European warships, but on the warships a flag with the words of Great Yu was hung.

The soldiers on the battleship also wore the style of the Great Yu State. He was completely stunned to see this scene. If this was the fleet of the Great Yu State, it would be a disaster for them.

"Count, now you should give an order." Sakai reminded: "If the time is delayed, the chance will be less. Is it war? Or retreat?"

Claire recovered from the shock. He looked to the left and right as if thinking about a difficult decision.

The news from Luo Luo is very clear. The King Qi of Great Yu Kingdom wants Ryukyu and trade routes. If they cannot reach an agreement, war will be inevitable, both now and in the future.

Looking at the Dayu team getting closer and closer, Claire said: "We can't fight this fleet here. There is not much supply. Now we should return to Ryukyu and destroy this fleet in the waters outside Ryukyu."

Rod nodded when he heard this. This was undoubtedly a correct decision.

After the order was given, a bell soon rang on the ship, and the Dutch fleet slowly set sail towards Ryukyu.

At this time, on the Qi Wang, Yue Yun was holding a telescope to observe the Dutch fleet.

He frowned when he saw the Dutch fleet fleeing south, because they rushed out of the battle, the supplies on their ships were also low. If the Dutch fleet kept refusing to fight and continued to flee south, it would be very detrimental to them. It is a long process from the state to Ryukyu.

He looked towards the coast, and the army of Dayu had already appeared on the coast. At this time, he saw the Qingzhou army waving its flag and playing the slogan "Don't pursue".

Putting down the binoculars, he ordered the crew: "Stop chasing."

This order was given by Xiao Ming. The Dutch chose to retreat enough to show that they did not have the confidence to defeat him. He felt that the Dutch should be given time to think about whether to accept his terms.

If the Dutch still had a hard-boiled duck bill, he could only use force to seize the island to drive the Dutch out of the sea.

At the same time, one of the reasons why he told Yue Yun not to pursue anymore was the supply problem. He knew that there was not much food on the battleship at this time for the soldiers to eat, and it was difficult to provide supplies without communication along the way.

Therefore, he needs to establish supply points along the coast, and at the same time allow the Qingzhou army to make sufficient preparations to attack the Ryukyu. After all, in the era of sailing warships, if the enemy is not willing to fight, he will be caught in a chase.

Among the sailing warships, the first-class sailing warship and the second-class sailing warship are not as flexible as the third-class sailing warship. They do not have the advantage in the chase battle and directly attack Ryukyu Island. At that time, the Dutch fleet will have to accept the war.

"When is your Royal Highness going to attack Ryukyu?" Niu Ben said at this time, and he was also relieved. At least during the Battle of Jizhou, King Qi understood the importance of logistics and did not let the fleet chase rashly.

Xiao Ming said lightly: "No hurry, Ryukyu Island is just a cooked duck that can't fly. Now we still need to wait for the tiger guns and field guns of the military workshop to avoid our losses when the two armies fight."

Niu Ben also saw the Dutch field artillery mounted on wheels. This artillery is short and thin, and has a small caliber, but it must be said to be very light.

On the battlefield, this kind of artillery has a longer range than flintlock and more powerful than flintlock. It is indeed a good weapon.

"It is time for Chen Qi to produce a batch of artillery in this way." Niu Ben looked serious.

No general likes to joke about soldiers' lives.

Originally, Xiao Ming thought that the Dutch would engage his fleet for a short time and then retreat, but he did not expect that they would retreat. He was so decisive, and this can even reflect the Dutch guilty conscience.

Because the Dutch did not know how many warships he had, but they knew very well that they would not have reinforcements.

Now, these Dutch people may be in panic all day long, worrying day and night that he will attack Ryukyu.

Looking at the fading Dutch battleships, Xiao Ming and his party returned to Dengzhou City. After everything is ready, the war can begin. After this time, he will communicate with King Wei and King Chu and ask them to help themselves on the coast. Leave a supply point.

Now that both the King Wei and King Chu have a handle in his hand, the two of them must not dare to make any more small movements.

Yue Yun led the fleet quickly back to the military port, after which he arrived at Dengzhou City Mansion with a group of admirals.

"His Royal Highness~lightnovelpub.net~ These Dutch people run fast." Yue Yun smiled. "At the beginning our battleship could be chased by them miserably. It's a pity that we didn't give them a severe lesson."

"There is a time for you to take revenge." Xiao Ming said to Yue Yun: "But this time you may not be the opponents of the Dutch. The naval battle is not just based on your size. You just took over the battleship, and you have nothing on it. Familiar, from now on, you will stay in Dengzhou for three months of maritime training. When you are familiar with maneuvering warships, you can talk about naval battles. Let’s clean up the nearby pirates.”

When Xiao Ming said this, a cold sweat suddenly appeared behind Yue Yun. Xiao Ming said that it’s good. If the fight is really done this time, the outcome is unknown. Although his soldiers know how to control warships, they Not familiar with new warships, especially large warships such as Class 1 and Class 2 are difficult to operate.

With a ashamed expression, Yue Yun said: "Yes, Your Highness, the final general will definitely take the soldiers to train hard and become an army soon."

Nodding his head, Xiao Ming said to Yang Chengye at this time: "Cashier Yang, now is a big opportunity for you in Dengzhou. When you win Ryukyu, your Dengzhou will become a maritime commercial port, which is very beneficial to the exhibition in Dengzhou. "
