readx; Chapter 418: Get out of the way! Otherwise, fire! (above) (add more for the alliance leader's fluttering beauty!) ）

"Admiral Wise, do we need to let the fleet fire its cannons to pay tribute to the Imperial Navy soldiers who died here. The www.biquge.info adjutant thought for a moment and asked.

Although Lucived didn't want to fire cannons for those defeated and humiliating people, but doing so would chill the hearts of these naval officers under his command, Lucived was not stupid, so he waved his hand and said, "Yes, when you pass by that sea area in a while, you can arrange it." ”

"Yes, General." The adjutant immediately gave a military salute, and then turned around to give an order, he had just turned around, and before he could leave, suddenly a panicked voice came from above the watchtower: "General...... Checkmate! ”

"What's going on?" Lucived immediately stood up and asked angrily!

"Report! Report! Generals, fleet! There's a fleet coming up to us! Right behind us! The lookout rushed down, rushed to Lucived's face, and spoke loudly.

Lucived was stunned for a moment, then raised his head sharply and asked, "Fleet?" Are you sure it's a fleet? ”

"Yes General!"

Lucived immediately raised his legs and walked over there, of course he knew that there was a fleet at this time, it must not be the British fleet, and there was a fleet in this place, although the Spaniards also had it, and the French also had it, but what could make his subordinates so panicked meant that this fleet was absolutely very powerful, and it should not be the Spaniards, nor the French.

Soon Lucived personally boarded the watchtower, picked up the telescope in his hand, Lucived immediately looked into the distance behind, and soon a black shadow on the sea came into view, although he had just jumped out of the sea level, and he couldn't see it very clearly, but such a large number of ships, it was definitely only possible to be a fleet, it could not be a merchant ship, and from this distance, there was such a large volume.

The size of the other party's ships will definitely not be more than their ships, as a senior naval reward, although Lucived disdains other countries, but in terms of knowledge, Lucived is a very strict person, an excellent admiral can deduce from the size and distance of the ships he sees, the approximate volume of the other party's ships.

So when he saw the shadows of those ships, Lucived immediately understood that this was definitely a fleet, and it could not be a merchant ship, although many transport ships were indeed much larger than warships, but it was impossible for transport ships to appear in groups without the protection of warships.

Coming down from the lookout, Lucived immediately said loudly: "Order the fleet to turn, prepare the battle formation, order the transport ships to continue to advance 5 nautical miles, and the battleships are ready for battle, always keeping an eye on the enemy's movements!" Tell me all the latest movements of the enemy. ”

"Yes! Checkmate! The adjutant immediately shouted, and then the standard-bearer immediately passed the order to the ships, and the whole fleet immediately began to disguise, and all the warships began to slow down, while the transports and armed merchant ships began to accelerate and continue to move forward. And the entire fleet commanded by Lucived began to organize the formation, neatly arranged the sides, and aimed in the direction of the enemy's fleet.

Lucived's flagship was not hidden, but placed in the center of the fleet, Lucived's face was gloomy looking at the fleet in front, when he just saw the other party on the lookout, according to the height of the lookout, the approximate distance of the other party was between 15 nautical miles and 20 nautical miles. Lucived kept looking at each other with a telescope, and as the other party's hull began to zoom in, Lucived's face became ugly.

Because from this distance to the amplified speed of the opponent's hull, Lucived even roughly deduced the speed of the opponent, which was definitely faster than the speed of their ship, even close to the maximum speed of 20 knots! It's a terrifying speed, could it be a steamship? You must know that although the ships in the Far East Fleet are now assisted by steam engines, they are not absolutely steam driven, and there are sails and manpower assistance.

"General! There were a few ships of the Qing Empire's maritime merchants, and they asked if we could open the channel for them to pass. Just as the opposing fleet was approaching a certain distance, Lucived's adjutant came over and asked.

"Let them get out of the way and wait, either by a detour or by me." Lucived said with a gloomy face. The sea routes of this era are not like later, how to go and how to go, there is basically information, no sea ships in this era will deviate from the channel casually, because deviating from the channel means unfamiliar water pattern information, there may be reefs, and there may be pirates and so on.

"Yes!" For his general's orders, this adjutant naturally carried them out without discounting.

"Captain! The other party told us to wait. After Li Changfu received the report from the lookout, he immediately scolded a little unlucky: "Damn, these **** Brits." ”

But the British are strong at sea, and they can only wait, who will let them eat on the sea.

"The captain of the British, who is in a posture of war, I see if we retreat." A first mate next to him asked.

"War gestures? Well? The British fleet is messing around in this place, huh? Quick, look in the other direction. Li Changfu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted violently, and said loudly, they don't have a telescope in their hands, and they can only rely on their own eyesight, so they are slower than the British fleet.

"Ship...... Captain, Ship&...... Fleet! The lookout looked in the other direction, came down from the mast, rushed over and shouted.

"Fleet? What fleet? Li Changfu immediately asked loudly.

"It seems to be the fleet of the Ming Dynasty." The lookout said loudly, "Who else is there in this sea but them?" As soon as this lookout was like this, Li Changfu and the others immediately looked happy.

"****, these grandsons, let them be arrogant. Haha, let's see how they mix up this time, but let's see how many ships our Ming Dynasty fleet has. Li Changfu quickly asked, for those of them who ran this line, it is no secret that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty came, and the circle on this sea was so big, and any secrets spread quickly.

Moreover, Li Changfu and the others have also been rescued by the other party, especially when the other party began to transfer Chinese people on various islands in the South Seas, etc., they have seen many ships with the Ming Dynasty flag and the blood-colored dragon flag with a gold background! They didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty had not perished after more than 200 years, and it had developed again overseas.

Although they have not been to the place where the Ming Empire is located, they have received the favor of the other party, and they have also listened, the other party's warships protect all the Chinese, right is this word, protect all the Chinese, whether it is the Qing Dynasty, or in the South Seas, or all the Chinese who are willing to move to the Ming Dynasty, the other party seems to have changed the name of the dynasty, now called Huaxia!

However, many folk merchant ships and transport ships are hung with the temperament of Ming characters, and some of the official ships of the Ming Empire will also hang another temperament, a pale gold as the base, a blood-red dragon as the pattern, which is called the blood-colored dragon flag by those who beg for a living at sea!

Li Changfu and the others have also encountered pirates in the past, in fact, who of them has not encountered pirates a few times? But that time, before the island approached them, a warship of the Ming Empire passed by, and the terrifying speed and the super powerful artillery left a deep impression on Li Changfu and them! Especially the terrifying artillery, at a distance of thousands of meters, just three rounds of artillery bombardment accurately blew a pirate ship directly into a pile of fireballs and debris.

The three pirate ships besieging them, facing one of the opponent's warships, didn't even have a chance to get close, so they were directly sent to the bottom of the sea by the other party to feed the fish! And after exterminating the pirates, the other party also saluted them with flags! Tell them to be hearty! At that time, Li Changfu was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat! So since then, although they are still from the Qing Dynasty, at sea, everyone knows in their hearts that they have another person to protect them from the threat of pirates.

Now even those red-haired foreign devils in this sea area don't dare to embarrass them, let them go to each port is very warmly received, according to it seems that a Portuguese Hongmao port forcibly seized the cargo of a Chinese merchant ship, note that it is a Chinese ship, not a ship of the Ming Empire, as a result, this Chinese merchant ship somehow found the warship of the Ming Empire to complain.

As a result, the Ming Empire directly drove the warship to the port of the Portuguese red hair, directly shelled the entire port, and instantly blew the entire port into a sea of fire, and then the Portuguese governor paid three times the amount of merchant ship cargo to the cargo owner, and had to compensate for the cost of the shells, and finally politely sent people away, and did not dare to let a fart go.

Since then, when the foreigners in that port saw the Chinese ships docking, they rushed over directly to maintain order, for fear that someone would offend the cargo owners of these merchant ships. Because of these things, he also has a better life in various ports than before! After working on this sea for so many years, Li Changfu certainly understands that on this sea, cannons are the truth! What was the attitude of these foreigners towards them in the past, and what is the attitude of these people now, this is completely the difference between the land!

As for the navy of our Qing Dynasty, hey, no!

"Captain! What a big fleet! What a big fleet! The lookout shouted excitedly. Everyone on the entire ship couldn't help but cheer, and a smile appeared on Li Changfu's face.

Until the whole fleet appeared in front of all the ships, until Li Changfu saw the blood-colored dragon flags hanging on those warships! Li Changfu felt an electric current rising from the tail vertebrae, and he couldn't wait to shout and shout at the dragon flag over there! However, Li Changfu couldn't help it, he was the captain anyway, but the sailors under him cheered in unison.

The huge cheers were heard even by Lucived, who was very far away, and when he saw the merchant ships over there, Lucived almost died of anger, and he couldn't wait to send the other party directly into the sea with cannonballs! But not now, because now he has an enemy in front of him that makes him look solemn! A terrifying enemy!
