It's no wonder that the voices of the sailors on the observation deck are broken.
Now Hildroz can visually tell that the warships appearing there appear one after another, as if there is no end, and it is impossible to check the number.
At this time, Sidluchi had only one thought, to escape.
He would be a fool not to escape at this moment.
He could not resist these overwhelming warships.
Even if dozens of warships from Jakarta were sent, the disaster would be disastrous.
The Reims and other four Dutch ships began to turn around and head south in unison with great tacit understanding.
In this era, to be honest, it is not easy for ships, especially large ships, to turn around.
By the time their bows were turned around, a large number of Ming warships were already close to only seven or eight miles away.
The Hildruch team kept using telescopes to see the speed of the pursuers behind them.
The enemy was very fast, well, faster than his ship, that was for sure.
He was about to put down the telescope, when suddenly something seemed to break into the lens.
He looked back, and suddenly his arms began to tremble.
"Oh, God, oh, God."
Osim next to him also saw something was wrong with Sidluchi, but since his telescope was with Sidluchi, he could only worry.
Fortunately, Hildeuch threw the telescope to him, and he himself shouted to the sailors, all sail, speed up.
Sidluchi shouted wildly, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.
Now that Sidluchi was shouting, there was no need for Osim to command the sailors.
He was eager to see what made Sidluchi so out of control.
Osim set up the telescope and took a look.
He was immediately stunned on the spot.
Behind some smaller warships in front, several huge figures appeared in the camera.
They were two times larger than his ship.
The dense portholes on their sides indicate that they are battleships, and their size is about the same as the USS Lewis, the largest battleship in Jakarta.
Not only these ships were coming, but also this larger warship came into view, and Osim immediately went crazy.
He turned around and came to the busy sailors, waving his telescope and shouting, "Quick, quick, faster, we are too slow."
Osim's voice was full of panic, which frightened the sailor so much.
What is going on?
How come both heads are crazy.
Although they complained that the two men were jumping up and down like crazy, the sailors raised all the sails and took advantage of the crosswind to constantly adjust the sail angles to make the ship speed gradually faster.
However, a large number of Akito warships followed them closely.
At this time, the sailors on the lookout shouted to the enemy ships ahead.
Sidluchi and Osim looked ahead.
Well, it turned out that three or four miles ahead, five Ming people's small warships were facing the enemy sideways.
Their hulls were now completely sideways, and their gun windows had already Opened, revealing the dark muzzle inside.
"It turns out that they are not escaping, but trying to stop us."
Sidluchi said angrily.
He looked at Osim, "order the sailors to rush over, rush over."
While talking to Hildrucci, he looked behind him at Akito's pursuit.
The four Dutch warships rushed forward regardless of whether they were enough.
They could not stay and fight.
If they had the idea of defeating and capturing these Akito warships just now, they were now focused on escaping.
Fortunately, the five Ming warships in front did not completely block the way, but leaked out of the middle road, which saved the Dutch people a lot of trouble.
But of course the navy of the Ming Army would not be so unwise.
They could not let the enemy escape.

This time, the Mingren battleship gave up the method of close combat, and instead fired artillery bombardments from more than a mile away.
Without him, these two big guys are too big.
Although the Tiago cannon on the patrol ship can still severely damage enemy ships at a distance of three hundred paces, at that distance I am afraid that the opponent's heavy artillery is also accurate.
The patrol ships of the Polu Army were not in a good position either.
So they chose other ways to attack.
The roaring artillery roared one after another, and the twenty-five long-barreled cannons on the sides of the five ships began to roar.
The wind was strong today, and the smoke was blown away by the strong wind in an instant.
Sidluchi heard a strange noise.
Why did he say it was strange?
It was because there was a constant sound, which was completely different from the sound of heavy artillery projectiles.
"Scatter bullets, guard against scatter bullets."
Osim shouted as he picked up the shield standing aside to protect the two of them.
In an instant, there was a constant popping sound, and a large number of small projectiles hit the sails, decks, or human bodies.
Some sailors roared and fell from the tall mast.
The wails kept coming, stimulating the nerves of everyone on the deck.
With a bang, Osim's hand was slapped, and a strong force came.
The shield was hit and tilted to the side, and Osim was hit and staggered.
Boom boom boom, dozens of breaths later, another salvo sounded, and another hail of bullets came.
The Lance and Jonker were the focus of the attack, and the other two ships were almost undamaged.
Sidluchi looked at the broken sails everywhere with a pale face.
The Reims had four mainmasts and eight mainsails.
Except for the mainsail at the corner, all the other sails were broken.
Although it was broken, most of it was still connected, but the wind began to show through the holes everywhere, and they had already felt the ship's speed drop significantly.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to rush out.
If there was time to repair the sail, the ship's speed could be restored, but the chasing enemy was several miles behind, so how could it be possible to give them time to repair it.
"Order to prepare for war."
Sidluchi sighed.
"Your Excellency, there are dozens of warships behind you."
Osim said sternly.
"Are you going to surrender without firing a single shot?"
Sidrochi glared at him, and he couldn't hold back his breath.
The Polu warships from behind were approaching step by step, forming a fan and outflanking them from behind.
The key was that Mingren ships were constantly emerging, giving the Dutch a sense of boundlessness, making them become Very frustrated.
Qi Wei stood on the upper deck of the Wu Lin and used a telescope to look at the miserable state of the opponent's warship.
He couldn't help but smile coldly.
To go against the Polu navy was to seek death on this sea.
This time Qi Wei commanded thirty patrol ships, thirty Tang-class battleships, twenty Song-class battleships, fifteen clipper ships, and twenty Galen merchant ships to attack Xiaoliuqiu, carrying three thousand The famous Jeju soldiers and a thousand North Korean soldiers and hundreds of war horses.
"I said, Lao Qi, our large fleet is really powerful now."
Li Lu, who was on the same boat, touched his short beard under his chin and said with a smile.
"Well, it's all thanks to Mr.
Zhao.
What the navy was like back then was just a dozen sea-going ships, and they were all old Haicang ships.
What it looks like now, there are more than 200 large and small warships, and dozens of merchant ships.
The Galen ships captured in the early years were all cruising offshore."
Qi Wei put down the telescope and sighed.

"When we first sailed to Macau, we were badly beaten by a small Dutch warship on the way back.
Now, haha, a giant ship like the Dutch is also besieged by our army."
Li Lu nodded in agreement, he also knew about this.
"Speaking of us, the same goes for your troops.
At the beginning, our Polu Army and Water Infantry only had 7,000 men, most of whom were new recruits.
Now, to capture Xiaoliuqiu, you have dispatched 4,000 men from Jeju Town alone."
Qi Wei nodded at Li Lu, and Bie Jing looked at the navy with jealousy.
Why didn't he look at his own family's growth?
"Yes, yes, this is the first time for me to be in charge of an army alone."
Speaking of this, Li Lu was also a little complacent.
While the two were talking, the fleet was already approaching the enemy ships.
More than ten Tang-class warships at the front were already within a mile or two of the Dutch warships.
Boom boom boom, three Dutch warships including the Reims and Jonker fired their cannons at the same time.
The sound of the cannons echoed on the sea and spread far away.
The smoke emitted by the three warships was extremely powerful.
But they hit too many targets, and the distance was slightly farther, so they hit very few, even if they did hit, the harm caused would not be too great.
The Polu Army warships were still approaching resolutely.
Only after passing the one-mile limit was the time for the Polu Army's Tiago to show off his can opener.
The patrol ship gave way to the waterway, and a dozen Tang-class warships surrounded several Dutch warships.
Sidluchi, Osim and others were lying on the side of the ship watching a dozen enemy ships of about the same size approaching them.
Boom boom boom, it was the Lance and Jonker who fired first.
This time, one-third of the projectiles hit several Ming warships on the opposite side.
It was obvious that the sails of some Ming people's warships were broken, and there were also damages on the sides of the ships.
However, there were no serious problems with the Ming people's war ships, and their side gun windows were all open.
Boom boom boom, more than a dozen Tang-class battleships opened fire.
The roar of more than 300 cannons drowned out all the noise around them, and large plumes of smoke filled the space between the ships.
Bang bang bang and crackling sounds continued, and more than half of the projectiles hit the opponent's warship.
However, the projectiles of the 18-pounder gun basically did not break the enemy's ship plank.
The projectiles of the 24-pounder gun and the 36-pounder gun still caused great damage.
However, Qi Wei found that the two giant ships were quite capable of resisting the attack.
Although the sides of the ship were broken and some projectiles penetrated into the cabin, the Dutch were still resisting tenaciously.
Qi Wei ordered the nearby Song-class warships to move closer.
Several Song-class battleships slowly approached the Lance and Jonker.
Sidluchi watched in horror as the giant ships approached, but he decided to grit his teeth and persist.
In fact, if it was the Portuguese and Spanish, he would have decided to surrender long ago, but for the indigenous people of Ming Dynasty, he really felt ashamed to surrender.
And unlike Europe, which allows surrender and can be redeemed with a ransom, the indigenous people often kill prisoners of war, so Only then did he give the order to persist.
Boom boom boom, the two sides began to bombard each other almost at the same time.
There was a loud bang, the side of the ship in front of Sidluchi shattered, and a piece of wood shattered Osim's armor and penetrated his body.
Osim clutched his chest and rolled on the ground in pain.
After leaving a large pool of blood on the deck, he gradually became silent.
The sides of several Dutch warships were full of broken and large holes.
Even the specially reinforced side plates could not withstand the bombardment of the 48-pound Tiago cannon.
The decks of the Dutch warships were simply As bloody and terrifying as hell.
The artillery damage caused casualties and almost lost combat effectiveness.
Sidluchi looked at Osim's body blankly and ordered to stop resisting
