"Fire!" Finally reaching the range of 3,000 meters of most of the combined fleet's warships, Duke Peter Burston and the other fleet commanders roared almost simultaneously.

Just five thousand meters ago, although the super battleships of the combined fleet had also reached the firing range and counterattacked once.

However, when the counterattack was made, there were not many super battleships left, the strength of the counterattack was too small, and it lasted only a short time, and all the five-thousand-meter super battleships were all destroyed by the Ming fleet.

It also tried out the terrifying fact that the Daming battleship was built of all-steel.

At this moment, all the generals and soldiers of the Combined Fleet were suppressing this fear, and they were looking forward to sinking a Ming warship to dispel the fear in their hearts and restore their morale.

The pressure given to them by the steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty is too great, so that they are all suppressed in their hearts, not much, as long as they sink a steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty first, it proves that the steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty can also be sunk, which can dispel a lot of fear in their hearts.

Just one ship!

"Boom! Rumble! In the first round of the "bombardment———— more than 40 warships of the European Combined Fleet opened fire at the same time.

Hundreds of shells poured towards the Daming Iron and Steel Fleet, which was three thousand meters away.

The shell exploded in the middle of the Ming Iron Fleet.

"Bang! Boom! Bang ————-" At the same time that the water columns were blown up, many Ming warships were also hit by the shells of the European Combined Fleet.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The Ming warships are also firing their guns, and they continue to sink the wooden battleships of the European Combined Fleet with the most powerful firepower.

It was only at this time that the naval battle really reached its most intense time.

The sea level of the sea area where the fleets of both sides were located was trembling, and at the same time that countless huge pillars of sea water were blown up, the warships of both sides were constantly hit by shells.

If the battleship of the European Combined Fleet is hit by the shells of the steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty, without exception, the wooden hull is blown to pieces, and as long as two or three shells hit, at most four shells, a European wooden battleship will be sunk.

However, unlike the tragic situation of the wooden battleships of the European fleet, the shells of the European Combined Fleet hit the battleships of the Ming Dynasty, and they were never able to cause great damage to the battleships of the Ming Dynasty, and at most a few Ming naval soldiers on the deck were blown into the sea, and it seemed that it was not easy to really sink a Ming battleship.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

"Bang!" This is a 5,000-ton Ming battleship, because it rushed to the front of the fleet, it was hit by the most shells of the European Combined Fleet, and at this moment, it has been hit by at least more than twenty European Combined Fleet shells.

However, from beginning to end, this 5,000-ton Daming battleship has always maintained its strongest firepower, and the power of the battleship has not been damaged at all, but the armor of the battleship is covered with many black spots left by shells.

"Bang! Bang! "Two more solid bullets hit this Ming 5,000-ton battleship, and they only left two black spots on the battleship, not to mention the heavy damage to the battleship, and they couldn't even penetrate the armor of the battleship.

At this moment, the distance between the fleets of the two sides has been shortened to 2,500 meters, and at least more than 200 European warships are firing at the 96 steel warships of the Ming Dynasty, and there are even more European warships participating in the subsequent shelling.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ——-"

"Bang! Boom! Bang ———— "Thousands of cannonballs rained down on the sea area where the ninety-six Daming steel battleships were located, and countless water columns were blown up, which was also accompanied by the sound of cannonballs hitting the Ming warships with a loud steel knocking sound, proving that there were Ming cannonballs hitting the Ming steel warships.

On the side of the combined European fleet, Duke Peter and Bosston and Archbishop Spabot, as well as the commanders of the fleets of other countries, were constantly observing the situation of the Ming fleet in front of them with telescopes, and they were undoubtedly hoping that a Ming steel battleship would be sunk by them.

Especially the Daming steel battleships at the front, which were hit the most by the most bullets.

However, to their disappointment, they watched with their own eyes almost through the telescope that these Ming warships with the most bullets were hit by the shells of their combined fleet warships, as many as dozens of shells, but in addition to blowing up some slightly smaller steel bars and killing some Ming soldiers on the warships, they were never able to cause fatal damage to several Daming warships.

Pale and powerless! Fear!

They no longer knew how many shells they would need to sink these Ming steel battleships.

The distance between the fleets of the two sides continued to get closer in the course of the fierce firing between the warships of the two sides, and the dense columns of sea water that were blown up, and the fire of the explosion produced by the shells hitting the hull of the ships all showed the intensity of the naval battle.

By the time the distance between the two fleets was reduced to two thousand meters, there were less than 700 warships left in the combined European fleet, and more than 500 warships were sunk.

On the contrary, although some of the steel battleships of the Ming fleet were hit by a lot of bullets, there was no sign of sinking, that is, none of the Ming warships were damaged, while their combined fleet had lost more than 500 warships.

It's miserable!

Not only the generals of the Combined Fleet, but also the ordinary soldiers of the Combined Fleet were also full of powerlessness and fear in the face of such a situation!

They no longer see any hope of sinking the Daming steel battleship, let alone the hope of winning this sea battle, after all, they can't even sink a Daming steel battleship, what can they do to defeat the Daming fleet of nearly a hundred Daming steel warships.

Despair spread throughout the Combined Fleet.

Even if the distance between the two fleets has been shortened to less than two thousand meters, all the warships of the European Combined Fleet are enough to shoot at range, and the number of Combined Fleet warships that fired at the Ming Fleet at one time was more than 300.

However, it has never been able to sink even one Ming steel battleship, but on the contrary, its own side has lost more than 500 warships, and such pressure is enough to crush the morale and will of everyone in the European United Fleet.

The distance between the two fleets was still getting closer, and when the distance between the two fleets was shortened to less than 1,500 meters, nearly 200 more warships of the European Combined Fleet were sunk.

At this moment, the number of warships of the European Combined Fleet is even five hundred!

Not to mention the ordinary navy soldiers of the Combined Fleet, even the commanders of the fleets of various countries such as Duke Peter and Burston and the Archbishop of Spavid were also desperate, and they also did not see the slightest hope of victory in the naval battle.

In the eyes of Duke Peter and Burston, the Ming battleship that hit the most shells had been hit by at least a hundred shells from the Combined Fleet, but there was still no sign of sinking, how could this not make people despair.
