When the other two battleships finally rushed into the range of 3,000 meters, the Daming battleship that had been severely damaged and slowed down was still 3,200 meters away. However, at this time, Lin Chong couldn't manage so much.

"Fight back!" Finally rushed into the three-thousand-meter range, and could fight back, Lin Chong roared angrily.

The Shenwei cannon on the Ming warship is actually about the same as the field cannon used by the regular army on the shore, the firing range is the same, and the weight of the whole gun is also about the same, but because it is to be deployed on the battleship, the appearance and style are slightly different.

Because the gun body is light in weight, easy to move, and has an anti-recoil device to control the recoil, the Ming battleship does not need to rotate both sides of the hull to fire, and the 32 Shenwei cannons on the battleship can be fired at the front target in unison when the battleship is advancing.

"Boom, boom, boom" The two Ming battleships that rushed into the range of 3,000 meters opened fire.

Excluding the few cannons that had just been shot and destroyed, nearly 60 shells flew towards the European Combined Fleet 3,000 meters away.

At the same point in time, the seventy Dutch super warships in the United European Fleet also completed the hull rotation and carried out the third round of cannon firing.

There were also more than 1,300 solid bullets flying over.

However, in the end, it was nearly sixty shells of the Ming Dynasty that flew first over the European Combined Fleet and fell.

"Boom Boom"

On the spot, four European warships were hit by one each, and at a distance of three thousand meters, four of them were hit by less than sixty shells.

This is not only the extraordinary performance of the Ming naval soldiers, but also the excessive deployment of warships of the European Combined Fleet.

Unlike the 22-pound solid shells fired by the Dutch super battleship, the shells fired by the Daming battleship were all powerful bursting shells. As soon as the shells exploded, blazing waves and shrapnel killed and injured a large number of soldiers on the European warships that were hit.

"Boom!" It was a Portuguese battleship, and there was a violent explosion where it was hit, the flames were in the sky, the wood was splashed, three cannons were thrown into the sea, and seven Portuguese soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Portuguese battleship was seriously injured by a single shell.

Along with this Portuguese battleship were three other ships of various countries.

In addition to the Dutch, Portuguese, British, French, and even the Spaniards, who had always been arrogant, were frightened, and there were only a few warships, and the inconsequential Holy Roman Empire, Poland, and Austria were also stared at in shock.

What kind of shells are used by the Daming battleship, how can it have such power, and the range of the cannon of the Daming battleship is so far, it still has such accuracy after hitting a range of three thousand meters, this is simply impossible, this is completely beyond their cognition.

The original Dutchman's super battleship suddenly opened fire, showing a range of four thousand meters, which already shocked them, and they felt that this was the cunning Dutchman hiding a secret weapon.

But now, the 3,000-meter range of the Ming battleship, the powerful shells, and the accuracy shocked them even more, both the Dutch and the Ming had such powerful warships.

Their first thought was, are they lagging behind? This feeling is strongest in the hearts of the British.

The British have always wanted to take the place of the Dutch and become the most powerful sea power hegemon, but now, the Dutch not only have more than 200 warships, but also hide such a secret weapon with a range of four thousand meters.

The commander of the British fleet, clenched his fists, secretly swore that after this naval battle, he would build a warship that completely surpassed the Dutch and the Ming.

At the same time as the shells fired by the Daming battleship hit the battleship of the Combined Fleet.

The shells fired by the Dutch super-battleship also exploded in the three Daming battleships.

The area covered by more than 1,300 shells is huge, even the Daming battleship that is more than 200 meters behind the front two is also shrouded by the Dutch artillery group, this time, because the distance is closer, the accuracy of the 22-pounder guns on the Dutch super battleship has also improved a little, and the eleven shells hit three Daming battleships.

"Click!" Several masts were broken, and large holes were smashed into many parts of the hull.

Especially the Daming battleship that was originally heavily damaged in the back, this time it was hit by three shells, one directly hit the parallel part of the sea, making a big hole, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and finally, the Daming battleship was sunk before it could rush into the range of three thousand meters.

Lin Chong watched as the Ming battleship behind him slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Brother, let's go!" Lin Chong didn't have time to be sad, this is a war, there will inevitably be such a situation, let the dead brother go first, and he will catch up after a while.

In fact, their two warships were not particularly damaged, especially the command ship he was on, which had just been hit by five shells, more than 20 Ming naval soldiers on board were killed and wounded, and several cannons were damaged.

Counting the first two rounds of shelling, the last two remaining Ming battleships were each hit by more than seven shells, according to the withstanding capacity of a battleship that can withstand about fourteen solid shells, plus the twenty-two pounds of shells that hit, at most three or four shells each, the last two remaining Ming battleships will also have to sink, or the time when that scene happened is the time when the next round of shells from the European Combined Fleet comes.

"Fight back! Fight back! Lin Chong yelled.

Presumably Lin Chong also knows this, death is just around the corner, he is not afraid of death, the reason why they rushed up is to divert the attention of the European eight-nation fleet, and give the people in the coastal bombed cities more opportunities to escape, and now his goal has been achieved, and in the end there is only one purpose left, that is, before death, pull as many warships of the European eight-nation combined fleet as possible.

The remaining Ming naval soldiers on the two battleships also gritted their teeth one by one, struggling to stuff one shell after another into the barrel.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom" was only six breaths apart, and the cannons on the two Ming battleships opened fire again.

Because just now several more cannons were destroyed, this time, only forty-nine shells flew towards the battleship group of the combined fleet of eight European countries.

It was also because the purpose was to sink several battleships of the European Eight-Nation Combined Fleet to cushion their backs, so the cannons on the two Ming warships were uniformly aimed at one European Eight-Nation Combined Fleet battleship.

Picked by the two Ming warships was an unlucky French battleship that had just been hit by a cannonball.

Four shells hit the French battleship almost at the same time, producing a violent explosion, the French battleship was instantly shrouded in a firelight, broken wood splashed, and a large number of French naval soldiers' bodies were swept into the sea by the blazing waves, plus one was hit earlier, the explosion of five high-explosive shells was obviously not wooden This French battleship can withstand the flirtatious, half of the hull was blown up, and the whole battleship tilted instantly, which is a sign of imminent sinking.
