Chapter 1004: Attack on Paris (1)

"No, God! They are the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, why did they appear in Europe, could it be that this group of demons has invaded Europe again! The commander-in-chief of this French fleet shouted in fear.

What he didn't know was that the appearance of the Ming fleet in Europe again this time was not the same nightmare for the coastal countries of the whole of Europe as last time, but only for them to France this time.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Watching his own ships being sunk one after another, the commander of the French fleet despaired.

There have been two super sea battles, and the last time the Ming fleet went to Europe, the Ming fleet has become an invincible existence in the eyes of European countries, and it is synonymous with nightmares.

One-sided slaughter!

Although the French battleship has been upgraded again in recent years, the range of the cannon is only up to 3,200 meters, and the cannon is bulky, flexible and powerful.

Not to mention fighting back, it is impossible to even turn around and escape, because the speed of the steam-powered Daming battleship is nearly twice that of their wooden battleship, how can it escape, whether it is a counterattack or escape, it is a dead end without any effect.

Seeing that his warships were constantly being sunk, in just a short time, more than seven battleships had been sunk, another six had been severely damaged, and only four intact battleships remained, and the corpses of a large number of soldiers were floating on the sea, and some were blown up and thrown into the sea, but the people who were still alive were constantly struggling.

There is no hope! In the midst of boundless despair, in order to reduce unnecessary deaths, the commander-in-chief of this French fleet thought of surrendering.

"The Ming fleet is too strong, let's surrender!"

Soon, on each of the remaining French warships, soldiers were waving white flags symbolizing surrender, indicating that they were willing to surrender.

"Hehe, surrendered so quickly! Ships stop shelling! Huang Haitao saw through the telescope that all the remaining French warships had surrendered, so he did not order to continue sinking the remaining French warships.

Soon, the remaining ten French warships were all captured by the Ming Expeditionary Fleet.

The fleet of the Ming Expeditionary Force continued to advance towards the English Channel.

Approaching the middle of the English Channel, the Ming Expeditionary Force fleet collided head-on with an English fleet of about twenty warships.

"Oh, oh my God! The battleship of the Ming Dynasty! They are in Europe again, and it's an absolute nightmare! The commander of this England fleet was frightened all over his body, afraid of the purpose of the Ming expeditionary fleet, and afraid that the Ming Dynasty would bombard the coasts of various countries like the last time.

England was hit hard last time, and now a few years have passed and they have not been able to recover.

The commander of this English fleet was terrified, the strength of the Ming fleet was simply a nightmare, and he didn't know whether he should meet it to intercept it, or turn his head and run away.

The warships of the Ming fleet are steam-powered steel warships, and their speed is much faster than their wooden warships, and they will definitely not be able to run away if they escape, but it is also a hopeless dead end to meet them.

Just when the commander of the England fleet was afraid of whether to order the warships of the England fleet under his command to meet and intercept the Ming Expeditionary Fleet, on the deck of a Ming battleship at the front, a Ming Navy soldier kept shaking the order flag in his hand.

Although the naval flag of the Ming Dynasty was somewhat different from that of European countries, the commander of the English fleet still saw what the Ming meant, which was to let them avoid it and not get in the way.

The Ming fleet should not have been aimed at them England, otherwise it would have fired at their fleet a long time ago, and the commander of this England fleet would dare to stay and immediately order the English fleet under his command to avoid the shipping lane.

"Quick, get out of the way! Avoid them! The British admirals on a large number of battleships roared, for fear that they would be slow to avoid, and the Ming fleet opened fire on them.

It wasn't until they confirmed that they would not be attacked by the Ming fleet and watched the Ming fleet leave from a distance that the British on the England fleet breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they soon wondered, there was no doubt that this huge fleet belonged to that powerful and distant Ming Empire, but what was the purpose of the Ming Empire sending their fleet to Europe again?

The commander of the English fleet asked a warship to return to England to inform the Queen of England, but he hesitated to send a warship to follow him to see what Ming's purpose was.

After only a moment's hesitation, the commander-in-chief of the English fleet made a decision.

Soon, the commander-in-chief of the English fleet personally ordered his flagship to break away from the fleet and follow in the direction of the Ming fleet, ready to see the purpose of the Ming fleet.

The commander of the England fleet had such a decision, after a certain amount of consideration, since the Ming fleet was not coming at their England, then he should not be attacked by the Ming Dynasty if he followed from a distant distance.

Although they discovered the actions of the British, Yan Yingyuan and Huang Haitao did not pay attention to it, they obviously thought that an English warship would not dare to attack the Ming Dynasty's ships, and they must only be here to explore the purpose of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Expeditionary Force's fleet attacked France, which was originally intended to deter European countries, and did not care that Britain was watching the battle from a distance.

As it penetrated deeper into the middle of the English Channel, the Ming expeditionary fleet encountered a French fleet of fifteen warships.

Without saying a word, after reaching the firing range, the Ming battleship began a fierce shelling.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Like the French fleet just now, the French fleet, consisting of fifteen warships, also faced a one-sided slaughter, and the battleships were sunk one after another.

Unlike the reaction of the French fleet just now, the French fleet composed of fifteen warships, when it was attacked by the Ming fleet, as soon as it discovered the 'identity' of the Ming fleet, it immediately turned around and fled.

It's a pity that their wooden battleships could not escape in the face of the steam-steel battleships of the Ming Dynasty, and they could only be sunk.

Sure enough, before they could complete their turn, four French warships had already been sunk, and several more had been heavily damaged.

After a while, after more than half of the battleships were sunk, the remaining French battleships could only choose to surrender and become prisoners of the Ming Expeditionary Force fleet.

The two French fleets that met head-on, a total of thirty-two warships, were actually all the warships deployed by France in the English Channel, and even most of the warships of France in Europe, and now they were completely annihilated and captured by the Ming Expeditionary Force fleet in just two faces.

Paris is about a hundred kilometers away from the English Channel in the northwestern part of France.

Yan Yingyuan's strategy is to land on the French coast, the closest to Paris in the English Channel, and go straight to Paris, the core of France, to defeat France and capture Paris with the strongest posture.
