The Dutch have many ships, but the British have taller and stronger ships.

In addition, the artillery performance of the two sides is almost the same, so the battle situation fell into anxiety for a while.

As the distance continued to increase, the ships on both sides were almost face to face.

Shells hit the ship's sides, sending sawdust flying.

The weaker parts of the side deck were even breached by the artillery.

The Dutch want to take advantage of their large number of ships to fight for help.

As the steps were placed between the two ships, the Dutch jumped on the steps one by one and headed towards the Witney.

The soldiers on both sides began to fight hand-to-hand!

boom!Boom!

The sound of gunfire rang out from time to time.

Fighting with swords and fighting with cold weapons is also quite fierce.

"kill!"

"Attack! Attack!"

"Don't go back!"

"..."

……

In the sea not far away, a patrol speedboat of the Ming army was swimming on the sea.

It is less than twenty miles away from Malacca, and it is already within the patrol area of ​​the Ming army.

There are often Ming army speedboats patrolling around here!

Hearing the sound of shelling suddenly sounded in the distance, Duan Wei's face was full of solemnity.

"This movement, is it a cannon?"

"At the very least, it must be Xiyi's 32-pounder cannon to make such a big noise!"

Duan Wei's adjutant asked.

"Captain, shall we check the battle situation in the past, or go directly back to Malacca to call the police?"

Duan Wei looked at the direction of the gunfire and said.

"We are just a patrol boat, and it was useless in the past!"

"Go back to Malacca directly, or warn in advance, so that the Malacca garrison fleet can prepare accordingly!"

The Ming army had a strong military presence in Malacca, except for the fortress built in Malacca.

There is also a navy stationed, responsible for protecting the safety of the Malacca waterway.

On the surface, the reason why the Ming fleet was stationed was to clear up the pirates near Malacca.

However, where the Ming army stationed in Malacca, basically everyone knew where the sword was pointing!
It is obvious that they are guarding against the Dutch!
That's why the patrol boats of the Ming army appeared west of Malacca.

Now that the patrol boat discovers the bombardment, the first thing to do must be to report the news!

Instead of rushing over to check the situation, or even join the war!

……

The battle between the Witney and the Dutch continued.

The combat effectiveness of the British in this era is obviously stronger than that of the Dutch.

Facing the attack of the Dutch, although the Witney was outnumbered, it was still able to support it for a while.

Liszt pulled the trigger, and a Dutchman who wanted to board the ship not far away was shot dead on the spot.

The buckshot pierced his flesh and entered his chest.

Crush flesh, bones, internal organs, everything!
The first mate, Lauren, led the sailors to the front and fought with the Dutchman. The long knife in his hand pierced the Dutchman's body mercilessly.

When the knife was drawn, blood gushed out from the wound!

"Kill!"

"Kill these damned Dutchmen!"

"..."

The battle situation is very anxious, and the sea is full of debris and floating corpses.

Blood mixed with broken corpses floated on the surface of the sea, and even the sea water was stained red by blood.

If it wasn't for the fact that the sound of the artillery firing was too loud, sharks would have already come looking for food, looking for the smell of blood.

The battle intensified, and the several ships that participated in the battle became dilapidated little by little!

The Witney, which was set on fire, was the most miserable. The tall and strong hull was gouged out by shells!

The sails were ignited, holes were made, and thick smoke billowed out!
The tall mast was hit by shells and became crumbling.

Liszt's complexion is getting worse and worse. As time goes by, the disadvantage of their small number of ships and small number of people is gradually revealed.

Facing the siege of the Dutch, the defeat of the Witney has become apparent!
Liszt couldn't help worrying in his heart. Based on the current relationship between the Netherlands and the UK, even if they surrendered, they would not be able to please.

I'm afraid they will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!

But the Dutch commander Auburn couldn't help showing a smile on his face as he watched the battle gradually leaning towards his own side.

"Haha, kill these damn Brits!"

The failure of the first Anglo-Dutch war made the Netherlands unforgettable.

After the defeat, the feeling of being wantonly cut off by the British was really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the United Provinces of the Netherlands won the second Anglo-Dutch war!

A sense of elation permeated the hearts of all Dutch people.

Now, the British dare to send people to the East to compete for the share of the East-West trade from the Dutch, so there is nothing to say.

Sending these British people to feed sharks in the sea is a contribution to the ecological balance of the Indian Ocean, and it is the last kindness of the Dutch.

The smile on Auburn's face gradually spread.

At this moment, a lookout quickly ran to him to report.

"Au... Your Excellency Auburn!"

"Ming... Ming army, the Ming army's fleet has appeared! It is approaching the battlefield!"

Lookout pointed to the east direction, his face full of fear.

Because, the fleet of the Ming army appeared!
Auburn also frowned subconsciously, looking at the east with a faint fear.

Daming's threat to the outside world, "Whoever dares to fight in the waters controlled by Daming, both sides will fight together" is not just a threat.

Daming is really hands-on!
They fought in the waters of Da Ming without notifying Da Ming. If they were caught, the Ming army's fleet would really attack.

Trouble!
Auburn felt a little uncomfortable. How could today's incident be such a coincidence!
They were about to wipe out the British, and the fleet of the Ming army appeared.

A hint of cruelty flashed deep in Auburn's eyes, and he asked.

"What is the size of the Ming army fleet?"

If the coming Ming army fleet is not large, it is impossible to say, he will fight with the Ming army!
At worst, after finishing this vote, he will just run away!
Killing and silencing is cleaner, who would know that he did it?
The watchman took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"My Excellency Auburn, the coming Ming fleet has four battlefields, including three tier-four sail battleships and one tier-three style battleship."

When Auburn heard this, he immediately dismissed his bold idea.

If the Ming fleet only came with one ship, maybe he would have to go all out to do it.

However, this wave of the Ming army's fleet suddenly came with four large and small warships, and even a third-level sailing battleship among them...

It's no longer a matter of going out and doing a vote.

If you go all out, you can't beat it!
Auburn looked at the gradually defeated British on the battlefield, and it was obvious that they were about to succeed...

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still spoke.

"Command the fleet to leave the battle quickly and prepare to withdraw from the battlefield!"

In order not to be blocked by the coming Ming fleet, Auburn could only order to withdraw from the battlefield when the winner was about to be decided.

Well, he, Auburn, is merciful and ready to let the British die!
That's it, no rebuttals accepted!
