Chapter 636 The Great Battle Is Imminent
The next day, on the deck of the "Little Lanlan", Liu Wei knelt on the ground, while Liu Xiang held a large machete, vowing to kill Liu Wei, this derelict bastard.
Zheng Zhibao also knelt on the ground. Zheng Zhilong held a sword in his hand, ready to stab his younger brother to death. This was outrageous! Zheng Chenggong entrusted him with guarding the house, but he failed to do so properly, causing a great disaster. He deserved to die!
Wang Wenzhou thought to himself, "Those two bastards, Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, are really shrewd. Executing a general before a battle is a major taboo, and besides, Liu Wei has just led the Navy SEALs to a great victory; he absolutely cannot kill a meritorious soldier."
Last night, after Wang Wenzhou led his fleet to occupy Penghu Port, he did not order an attack on the island. One reason was that the transport ships had not arrived and there were no army troops in the fleet. Another reason was that Wang Wenzhou was afraid that Li Mei and Zheng Chenggong would be captured by the Dutch on the island. He was afraid that if the island was attacked, the two old men would be in trouble.
However, after searching the entire Penghu harbor overnight, the fleet couldn't find the two missing men. The envoys Wang Wenzhou sent to persuade the Dutch to surrender also failed to discover that the two men were in the hands of the Dutch on the island. Wang Wenzhou guessed that these two reckless fools were probably dead.
With the entire Dutch fleet sunk to the bottom of the sea, there are now nearly 1 sailors on Penghu Island. Wang Wenzhou tried to persuade them to surrender, but they refused. Wang Wenzhou then decided to attack the island to avenge his baby.
Wang Wenzhou said coldly, "Alright, stop fucking making a scene!"
Liu Xiangyi said righteously, "My lord, Liu Wei neglected his duties and should be executed!"
"Bang!" Zheng Zhilong kicked Zheng Zhibao to the ground, pointed at his younger brother and cursed, "You bastard, I entrusted Sen'er to your care, but you let him slip away and cause trouble. I'll kill you!"
Wang Wenzhou was furious! Liu Xiang, why don't you just use that big knife?! You've been holding that knife to Liu Wei's neck for over an hour now, is this some kind of performance art? Aren't you tired? Zheng Zhilong, you son of a bitch! When has your brother Zheng Zhibao ever taken care of that little brat Zheng Chenggong? It's been Li Mei taking care of him these past few days! Why don't you just use that sword?!
"Screw you! I'll kill you both first!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, pointing at Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.
Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Li held Wang Wenzhou tightly, afraid that he would go crazy and actually kill the two of them.
Liu Xiang is Liu Li's father. Even though Liu Li knew that doing so would make Wang Wenzhou dislike her, she had no choice but to step forward.
Chen Yuanyuan was angry because Wang Wenzhou had lectured her, and she would stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
Chen Yuanyuan pouted and sneered, "Li Mei, that little bitch, is just being shameless. Why are you taking your anger out on others? Heaven is fair; everyone pays the price for their mistakes. Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong deserve to die, their whole family should be killed, and none of their men should be spared—they all deserve to die!"
Liu Li shook her head with a wry smile. "Sister Chen Yuanyuan, is this how you advise people? You know your nemesis; when he goes crazy, he's capable of anything."
With tears in her eyes, Liu Li pleaded, "Sir, you can't make a mistake!"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed, calmed himself down, and said with a wry smile, "Alright, Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong, you two stop acting! I'm a conman, do you think your clumsy acting skills can fool me?"
"Hehe..." Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong smiled wryly, their smiles quite awkward.
Wang Wenzhou said in a serious tone, "What Yuanyuan said earlier is right. Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes. You can't blame others for your mistakes. Now that we have a formidable enemy at hand, our most important task is to eliminate these barbarians who dare to occupy the territory of our Great Ming."
"You two don't need to think so much. I'm not that petty! Go down and prepare immediately. We're going to attack the island soon!" Wang Wenzhou said coldly.
"Yes!" Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong quickly pulled up their family members who were kneeling on the ground and left to carry out their orders.
Wang Wenzhou hugged baby Chen Yuanyuan and said sadly, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, another of my babies has died!"
"Sigh..." Chen Yuanyuan sighed. Although her husband was a womanizer, he treated each of his wives and concubines extremely well. She quickly comforted him, "Alright, don't be sad. Didn't you want to see me sleep with that barbarian bitch? Come on, I'll sleep with her for you right now."
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Yuanyuan is so good. We'll talk about it tonight. I'm going to kill the enemy later to avenge my sister-in-law!"
Soon, Wang Wenzhou's fleet was ready, and under the cover of the fleet's artillery, the "Ugly Monster" landing ship began its beach landing.
The Dutch weren't stupid; they knew the beach couldn't be defended, which allowed the soldiers on the "Ugly Duckling" to land successfully.
Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang, as commanders of the first batch of landing soldiers, methodically directed their subordinates to prepare for defense and to welcome the approaching main force.
Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang are now showing the demeanor of great generals. The battle on Penghu Island some time ago has helped them grow rapidly.
The students of the Youth Army also grew up. Having experienced a major battle, they were no longer weak scholars who couldn't even kill a chicken; each of them had the bearing of a seasoned veteran.
As the army gradually landed, Wang Wenzhou also took Chen Yuanyuan, the baby, off the ship.
Hou Fangyu secretly observed Wang Wenzhou. He couldn't understand it. Wang Wenzhou was a terrible person, not only greedy and lecherous, but also a coward. So why were his subordinates all so loyal to him?
Hou Fangyu truly couldn't understand how Wang Wenzhou, as a commander, could be seen with a beautiful woman in his arms during battle. Yet, even so, Hou Fangyu remained convinced that the Ming Dynasty would surely win this battle.
Once the army had assembled, Wang Wenzhou ordered, "All troops, listen to my command! Maintain formation and advance slowly!"
At this time, the Dutch, under the command of fleet commander Van der Sie, also lined up in formation, ready to fight.
As commander of the Dutch Second Fleet, Van der Sheehan lost the fleet overnight, and at that moment, he only wanted to atone for his sins with his death. Therefore, despite the situation where surrender was the right thing to do, Van der Sheehan refused to surrender.
Van der Cecil had studied the previous battle against the Ming army on Penghu Island. The Ming army was poorly equipped, and their muskets had a shorter range than the Ming's. Van der Cecil believed that although the Ming army numbered 5, five times his own, even if the Ming army won against their superior firearms, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
It was precisely for this reason that Van der Si was full of confidence. Even if he died in battle, he would make the Ming army pay a heavy price. Perhaps if he won this battle and captured the Ming army commander alive, he could also make the Ming army's fleet surrender, and then his lost Second Fleet would be returned.
"Hmm?" Van der Si suddenly frowned.
The two armies were initially facing each other at a distance of over a thousand meters, each making their own battle preparations. Suddenly, many sails over ten meters high rose in front of the Ming army's formation, completely obscuring the Ming army's formation. Van der Si was now like a blind man; although the Ming army was right in front of him, he had no idea what the Ming army was up to behind the sails.
