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

Chapter 832

"Still want to run! This dog beast is really lucky!"

Xie Shidun saw with his own eyes that McPherson took a small boat and rowed to the last cruiser and quickly boarded the ship.

The cruiser was still heading north.

But the Confidence Ship and the Self-reliance Ship had already rushed over.

"Fire! Sink it for me!"

Xie Shidun roared, tears in his eyes, and hatred in his heart.

This naval battle was too tragic, and many unexpected changes occurred, but there was no way. This is war. You can never calculate everything, and you can never predict the future.

The only thing you can do is to constantly adjust your deployment according to the changes in the war situation.

And this decisive battle... the Jin Navy has no way out.

The Portuguese fleet must be completely wiped out! Drown McPherson in the sea!

"Captain, the Dutch cruiser is catching up!"

A soldier reported: "They sent out flag signals, asking us not to kill all of us, and we can discuss everything."

Hearing this, Ouyang Gong sneered: "Talk to their mother! Nothing can work now! Don't worry about them! Bomb McPherson to death first!"

The Confidence Ship and the Self-reliance Ship tightly surrounded McPherson's last cruiser and fired the last shells.

McPherson was also fighting back, but it was already the last of the light crossbow and could not hold on for long.

He was very calm, took a look at the six cruisers chasing from behind, and shouted: "No more! Stop and bombard them!"

"To sink us, they have to fire at least ten rounds of shells! Ten rounds, at least fifteen minutes!"

"It's enough for the Dutch to come and destroy them!"

"Stop the ship! Hold on until the Dutch come!"

McPherson's face was also hideous. In this battle, no one could continue to stay rational, and they had already gone crazy.

Xie Shidun saw through McPherson's plan and sneered: "This beast still expects the Dutch to save him! Do you think we are pigs!"

"Stop firing! Since he dares to stop! We dare to fight!"

"Board directly! Get on his ship! Cut off his head!"

After sending out flag signals, the Confidence Ship and the Self-reliance Ship made the decision at the same time to board the ship!

The two cruisers quickly approached McPherson's cruiser, and the sides of the ships collided. The soldiers of the Guangdong Navy rushed up directly.

There were dense gunshots, and a large number of soldiers screamed and fell down in the flames.

But more soldiers rushed to the other ship.

McPherson was so anxious that he shouted: "Hold on! The Dutch are coming! Our reinforcements are coming! Hold on for three minutes!"

But there were people everywhere, and the soldiers of the Guangdong Navy rushed up densely as if they were not afraid of death. When they fell, someone else rushed up.

The muskets on the McPherson cruiser had fired several rounds, but some people were still charging.

Xie Shidun fired a shot and killed a gunman, then rushed into the cabin and shouted: "Fuck you! I'm going to fight you!"

While throwing away the gun, he killed one with a knife, pulled it forward to block a wave of bullets, and then rushed forward with the knife.

The fierce boarding battle was continuing.

But the six Dutch cruisers did arrive!

The other side made an amazing move.

Five cruisers! They all stopped, fired at the same time, and fired towards the rear, blocking the direction of the five battleships of the Guangdong Navy, leaving only one ship to support McPherson.

Nie Zairong panted and said, "They think this will work! Damn it! Xie Shidun and his men are not pushovers! The support of a cruiser can't beat Xie Shidun and his men at all!"

Zhou Yuan raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Who said they must fight to the death? They just need to pick up McPherson and run away."

Hearing this, Nie Zairong's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Then just rush over! Crash them!"

Zhou Yuan said, "This is exactly what they want! Because... they still have four battleships! If we crash into them, all the battleships will need to be repaired within at least half a year, and the entire coastline will belong to them."

"At that time... they will go to Nanyang and intercept the Chaozhou merchants' fleet. They will be the final winner."

Zhou Yuan's tone was very calm, so calm that it was depressing, as if he contained boundless anger and hatred, but was forcibly suppressed by reason.

He gritted his teeth and said, "At this moment, we can only fight against them and hope that Xie Shidun and Ouyang Gong can kill McPherson."

"As long as McPherson is dead, we can withdraw."

"At that time, if the Dutch dare to chase us, we can board with them."

We can also board at this moment, but what we need at this moment is not to win or lose with them, the key is time, the time for McPherson to fight with the confident and independent ships.

"Boarding!"A soldier shouted, "Captain, the Dutch cruiser has boarded our ship."

Ouyang Gong was anxious and shouted, "Never mind! Hold on! Kill McPherson first!"

The people on the Confidence Ship and the Self-reliance Ship were crazy. They had lost everything but McPherson.

This was the purpose of this war!

But... fighting at night exposed the unfamiliarity of the Guangdong Navy with gunfights, especially in the chaotic battles in the dark. Their experience was far behind the opponent.

People kept dying, and this two-on-two boarding battle gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Xie Shidun shouted, "Even if all of them die here! We must chop off McPherson's head! We must not let him live and leave trouble behind."

Everyone headed for the bottom warehouse, where McPherson was located, and there were dozens of people protecting him.

The people on the Confidence Ship and the Self-reliance Ship launched multiple attacks, but were all shot down by flintlocks. There were also Dutchmen boarding the ship from behind, putting pressure on them.

For a moment, the army was defeated, and only a group of people led by two captains were left, rushing down madly.

"McPherson! You can't escape today!"

Xie Shidun had already seen McPherson, and rushed forward with his men, but encountered a dense rain of gunfire.

McPherson smiled coldly and grinned: "Want to kill me? You are very close, but it's a pity that you are just a little short."

Countless people surrounded him and protected him, and a small boat had been placed.

McPherson climbed out of the gun port window, and several people took him to the Dutch cruiser and boarded it quickly.

The Dutch didn't care, even if there were still soldiers who didn't come back, they drove away directly.

"It's bad!"

Nie Zairong shouted: "The Dutch cruiser is suddenly running! I'm afraid it's to meet McPherson!"

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, just watched it all coldly.

He still has a backup!

He won't leave any chance for McPherson!

He said in a serious tone: "The Self-Respect Ship and the Self-Strengthening Ship should be here soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge monster appeared on the eastern sea, rushing straight towards the cruiser where the Dutch escaped.

Zhou Yuan's expression froze instantly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Nie Zairong was stunned at first, and then lost his voice: "No! It's not a cruiser! It's a battleship! It's... it's... the Hengyong Ship!"

...

"Two years ago, we were defeated, and we were defeated miserably."

Fu Bo stood on the deck, his tone heavy: "As a result, an unequal treaty was signed, and the people along the coast were humiliated, oppressed, slaughtered, and treated like pigs and dogs."

"We were scolded and stabbed in the back by the people, and we deserved everything."

"The Marshal had a far-sighted vision and obtained the Portuguese shipbuilding technology early, spending tens of millions of taels of silver, just for today."

Fu Bo looked at the boiling sea around him, gritted his teeth and said: "Today! Hundreds of millions of compatriots are looking forward to it. Looking forward to today!"

"Innocent civilians are watching! The martyrs of the navy are watching!"

"We must win today! If we win! Dajin will have a future!"

"This is a battle to establish a country!"

At this point, Fu Bo sighed and said, "We are inexperienced and suffered a great loss. The Hengyong ship is half rotten. The marshal asked us to withdraw..."

"But I, Fu Bo, don't want to withdraw! We can't lose this battle! I can't hold you back!"

He stared at the front and gritted his teeth and said, "McPherson must die! Must die!"

At this point, he turned around and said, "Let's go! The boat is ready for you, you two should go quickly."

Silence, just a few breaths of silence.

Yi Sanshi shook his head solemnly and said, "The moment we boarded the ship, we were part of the Hengyong ship, and we should live and die with the ship."

Yuan Zhiming said, "He has the ambition... He dared to break into the enemy camp alone, why should we run for our lives? We are young, but we also have backbone."

Fu Bo shouted, "Fooled! You are geniuses! The future of Dajin needs you!"

Yi Sanshi shook his head and said, "General, Dajin is not short of geniuses, but it lacks pride, blood, national prestige and integrity."

"We can escape, but if we die here, we can... become a role model for young people!"

"People will die sooner or later. Can a real man... die for his country? Yes!"

Yuan Zhiming said, "To die for the country is an honor."

On the ocean of blood and fire, the broken Hengyong ship did not leave.

This battleship named "Hengyong" proved their Hengyong with practical actions.

Amid McPherson's exclamation and the Dutchman's roar, the Hengyong, at the fastest speed, hit the escaping cruiser.

A loud bang seemed to wake up the sleeping world.

Flames shot up into the sky, and the oceanIt was as bright as day.

The huge waves were surging, and everyone's faces were stunned.
