From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 913

Climb.

Climbed to the highest point of Penghu Island.

Zhou Yuan and others stood on a huge rock and looked towards the northern sea. That was Penghu Bay, the center of the war, and the place full of stars.

The stars in the sky were so dazzling, and the torches on the sea were no less dazzling. The whole world seemed to be upside down. People couldn't tell where the sky was and where the earth was. All they saw was light, dazzling light.

This spectacular scene shocked Zhou Yuan and others.

Zhuang Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "How many people are needed to light up this sea area? How many torches can form such dense stars?"

"Thirty-two thousand seven hundred and forty people."

Zhou Yuan said slowly: "In this battle, the Fujian and Guangdong Navy came out in full force, leaving no one behind."

Zhuang Xuansu said: "But... where did so many ships come from? The dozens of large wooden ships of the Fujian and Guangdong Navy have been completely exhausted."

Zhou Yuan said: "Almost all the ships in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces are gathered here."

This sentence made everyone fall into silence.

It was unknown how long it had passed before Zhuang Xuansu said, "The Dutch also knew the topography of the Penghu Islands. How could they be fooled?"

Zhou Yuan said slowly, "Because they wanted to win too much."

"The defeat at Dongfan Island was beyond their expectations. They began to get anxious. They had to take down the Fujian-Guangdong Navy to reverse the situation."

"At the same time, the Fujian-Guangdong Navy really couldn't hold on. The Dutch were only one step away from victory. Even if they took a huge risk, they would definitely eat up the Fujian-Guangdong Navy in one go."

"Because until now, the battleships and cruisers that went to plunder the Chaozhou merchant fleet for gold and silver have not returned. They know that they have already lost there. This is their only chance."

"In addition, don't forget that they don't know that we can still come up with so many big ships."

"They don't know that a country with vast land and abundant resources, even if it has declined, has unimaginable heritage."

Zhou Yuan looked into the distance and murmured, "This is the accumulation of the nation. Countless merchants in the four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, even if they don't report "More than 60,000 laborers participated in this large-scale transportation project, and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Fujian and Guangdong Navy worked day and night to familiarize themselves with the ships, load gunpowder, and prepare for the final war." "To complete such a great national war, it is not something I can do, nor can Guan Lu do it on his own." "This is the power of the people, and it is the people who stand up when the nation is in danger." "These are all unimaginable to the Dutch." "It's not that they are stupid, but that they don't understand us too well." "They don't know how much hard work our nation has put in from ancient times to the present, how much brilliant civilization it has created, and finally formed such a great cohesion." At this point, Zhou Yuan sighed: "When those merchants who value profit over righteousness took the initiative to stand up, the result of this battle was actually doomed." "The fireworks are blooming." Li Yu'an said softly. Everyone looked up and saw brilliant fireworks blooming everywhere in the world. These flowers condensed by flames rushed to the sky and released the last heat.

This was the real signal, the signal of attack.

The drums sounded.

Drums seemed to sound on every ship, dense and deafening, as if to wake up the sleeping world.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zairong couldn't help but shout to the sky: "Attack! Attack! Take back everything we lost! Fujian and Guangdong Navy! It's time to wash away the shame!"

Ships, countless ships, from the southwest, east, and north of the Penghu Islands, headed towards the Dutch fleet.

The drums stopped, but a more majestic sound sounded.

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

That was the hysterical roar of tens of thousands of soldiers.

The stars are flowing!

That's the flames moving forward!

More than a thousand ships, crowded on the sea, headed towards more than ten warships of the Dutch fleet.

The Dutch panicked. They knew they had been tricked. They couldn't figure out where the Jin Dynasty had so many ships, and they couldn't figure out why these wooden ships dared to attack.

Aren't they afraid of death?

Are they willing to be cannon fodder?

Didn't the Jin Dynasty run out of money? How much reward did they give these soldiers to be willing to sacrifice!

They didn't understand a lot of things.

But this didn't stop countless ships from charging at them!

Escape!

The first thing the Dutch thought of was to escape!

They fled eastward, but were blocked.

They went north and were bombarded by the Fujian and Guangdong Navy.

Retreat? The road behind was also over.All sealed!

Penghu Bay, a natural pocket formation, left them with no way to go up or down.

Landing on the shore? No way! Once they landed, they would lose their boats and would starve to death on the island.

What to do? What to do?

No way to escape! The only way was to fight!

They gathered together and poured out all their shells.

The wooden boats could not withstand such bombardment, but what could they do?

How many shells did the Dutch have left? Could they fire two per minute? More than a thousand ships, without any slowdown.

Looking down from the sky, it was clear that countless torches rushed towards the Dutch fleet like stars, and then the explosives exploded, like the disillusionment of stars, emitting brilliant light.

More than a dozen warships were covered in flames.

In just a quarter of an hour, their ships could not hold on.

More wooden boats rushed over and blocked the battleships that had lost their combat effectiveness. Wooden ladders had been set up.

The soldiers of the Fujian-Guangdong Navy regarded the Dutch warships as towers and began to attack the city.

Torches were thrown upwards, countless rockets were shot upwards, and countless warriors climbed up.

This battle seemed to have entered a crazy rhythm from the beginning. The soldiers of the Dajin Navy seemed to not care about casualties at all. They climbed onto the deck of the Dutch warship and fought hand-to-hand with the Dutch with knives.

Flintlock guns are not omnipotent. During the time of changing the sub-guns, dozens of people rushed onto the deck and chopped at them with knives.

The bloody hand-to-hand combat was extremely cruel and completely broke the Dutch's courage.

"Surrender! Surrender!"

"Raise the white flag quickly!"

Some captains shouted, but it was meaningless.

Dajin could not hear any sound at this moment.

The Fujian-Guangdong Navy could not hear any sound at this moment.

They only knew to kill all the invaders.

They believe in God, so send them to see God!

Panting, panting, sweaty forehead, trembling all over.

Liu Zhe held the knife tightly. Even though he was wearing simple wooden armor to protect important parts, he was still afraid.

He was holding the knife and was about to climb up the wooden ladder, but was suddenly pulled down.

It was still those teammates. They never had a good face for Liu Zhe.

"You are a coward. You can't even hold the knife steadily. You still want to fight with the foreign devils? Are you worthy!"

"Just stay on the boat and suppress the opponent with arrows!"

The team members who had bullied him for a long time kicked him behind and then climbed up quickly.

Gunshots rang out, and two or three people were shot and fell down.

Liu Zhe screamed, and before he could react, two more people fell into the water.

Another person fell beside him, his face was already covered with blood.

He was shot on the top of his head.

This person happened to be the one who bullied him the most.

Liu Zhe was at a loss, and his whole body was shaking for a while.

The man grabbed Liu Zhe's feet and said with difficulty: "You... you are a new recruit... no one will blame you if you don't go up..."

"Don't go up, you little brat... save your life..."

"It is said that you are an only child..."

Liu Zhe's lips trembled, and he murmured: "I... I..."

He didn't know what to say at all. Nervousness, fear, anger, countless emotions surged up, his eyes turned blood red, and tears couldn't help falling.

Before he could speak, a loud noise was heard, and the boat was shaking.

He looked up and looked forward, his eyes were bloodshot: "Captain!"

He rushed over and shouted: "Captain you..."

Lin Dahai wiped the blood off his face, held Liu Zhe's hand tightly, and said with difficulty: "National Defense Team... National Defense... Ah, we did it!"

"Xiao Liu... The team's flag cannot fall!"

"We won the war, and you are the only one left in the team. You must hold the flag and cannot fall!"

After speaking, he took a last look at the north, but it was a pity that he could never see the mainland again.

Silence.

Everything was silent.

Tears blurred Liu Zhe's eyes, and he could not hear any sound.

He was the last soldier to join the National Defense Team, and he was the only soldier alive.

There were thousands of pains in his heart that he could not express, and he could only turn his head to see the simple flag inserted on the hull.

He grabbed it.

He roared and rushed towards the tall battleship.
