The firepower of the Daming steel battleship is too powerful, two or three shells can directly smash a European Combined Fleet battleship, the shells on the sea, or the violent explosion sound when hitting the battleship, shakes the hearts of the soldiers of the United Fleet.

One Combined Fleet battleship after another was hit by shells and sank in the flames and explosions.

Miserable! It's miserable!

The combat effectiveness displayed by the battleships of the Daming fleet in front of them was too strong, and many soldiers of the combined fleet turned pale with fright.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming fleet in front of them had less than 100 warships, while their European Combined Fleet had more than 1,200 warships, and the number of warships was more than 12 times that of the Ming Fleet, the soldiers of the European Combined Fleet would probably have been frightened and lost the will to resist.

All the generals and soldiers of the European Combined Fleet were waiting for the Ming Fleet to come into their range so that they could start a counterattack against the Ming Fleet, which was as terrifying as the ghost of hell.

It doesn't take much, as long as they can watch the sinking of a battleship of the Ming fleet, maybe they can dissipate more than half of the fear in their hearts.

Finally, as the fleets of both sides approached rapidly, the distance finally narrowed to within five thousand meters.

The distance of five thousand meters is already the range of the five thousand meter class super warships in the combined fleet, which means that the combined fleet can finally fight back.

"Fire!" Duke Peter Burston and the Archbishop of Spaport beside him almost screamed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The super-battleships of the European Combined Fleet, which have reached range, have finally opened fire.

However, the shells fired were not as dense as expected, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were 'sparse', because only a dozen super battleships were firing, and the rest of the super battleships had either not reached the firing range, or had been severely damaged and lost their combat effectiveness.

More than 300 shells crossed a distance of 5,000 meters and landed in the Ming fleet, which had already entered a distance of 5,000 meters.

"Bang! Boom! Bang ——-" one after another water columns were blown up.

Compared with the huge water column blown up by the 250 mm caliber main gun of the Daming battleship, the water column blown up by the shells fired by the battleships of the European Combined Fleet is simply not worth mentioning.

Of course, with so many shells, how could a few of them hit the Daming steel battleship.

However, the commanders of the European Combined Fleet and the Archbishop of Spabbot, who were observing the effects of the bombardment with binoculars, were horrified.

I saw that although one of the Daming battleships was hit by a solid bullet and a flowering bomb, the flowering bomb only exploded a small fire on the deck of the Daming battleship, and not even a steel plate could be blown away, and there was no debris that was blown up like a wooden battleship. And the solid bullet was even worse, hitting the steel armor on the right side of the Ming battleship, there was not even a fire, and the entire solid bullet was 'bounced' into the sea, leaving only a black spot on the place where the Ming battleship was hit.

The same is true of several other Ming warships that were hit, whether it was the flowering bomb or the solid bullet of the European Combined Fleet that hit the steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty, it did not cause any substantial damage to the steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty.

"God! That's impossible! Archbishop Spabot's eyes widened in shock.

"How is this possible! Why didn't our shells work on the Ming battleship, it was a shell! We must have seen it with the wrong eyes! Impossible————-" Duke Peter Burston said in a trembling tone, full of disbelief and panic.

As the best naval commander of England at present, and the nominal supreme commander of the European Combined Fleet warship group this time, Duke Peter Burston has definitely experienced many naval battles and has rich experience in naval battles, but the scene in front of him has completely exceeded his cognition.

Not only the Archbishop of Spaport and the Duke of Peter and Burston, but also the commanders of the fleets of other countries were equally incredulous when they saw such a scene. Being able to become the commander-in-chief of the fleets of all countries, they are the best naval commanders of all countries, but this is also beyond their knowledge, and they can't believe that what they see is true.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The ninety-six steel warships of the Ming fleet are also constantly firing.

Under this round of shelling, more than a dozen warships of the combined European fleet were sunk.

The warships of the European Combined Fleet also kept firing back, and the shells that were fired hit several Ming warships from time to time, but they still did not cause much damage to the Daming warships.

However, some unlucky Ming naval soldiers on the battleship were swept into the sea by the blazing waves of cannonballs, so that the Ming naval soldiers also suffered some casualties.

"Sink all the European warships that are firing their guns first!" Shen Jingchao decisively ordered all ships to first aim at the super warships of the European Combined Fleet that were firing their guns.

Shen Jingchao has also seen that although some of the European Combined Fleet warships have reached a range of 5,000 meters, the number is not large, as long as these European Combined Fleet super warships with a range of 5,000 meters are sunk first, then the European Combined Fleet will inevitably fall into a situation where they will be beaten for a period of time and cannot fight back.

Under Shen Jingchao's order, the Daming battleships gave priority to those European Combined Fleet super warships that were firing guns.

When the distance between the two fleets was shortened to 5,000 meters, more than 100 super battleships of the European Combined Fleet had been sunk and dozens were heavily damaged, and there were not many European super battleships that could fire at the 96 steel battleships of the Ming Dynasty.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! "One super battleship after another was sunk in a huge column of water that was blown up.

"Boom!" The flames enveloped the hull of a European super-battleship, and a large number of broken wooden planks were blown away in the blazing waves, and the super-battleship of the European Combined Fleet began to sink slowly.

With the sinking of the most European super warships, and at this time, the two fleets were still four thousand meters away, but the European combined fleet, which had lost all the five thousand meters of super warships, was once again in a situation where it could not fight back.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Ninety-six Ming warships began to bombard those three-thousand-meter European warships.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! "Under the huge column of water that was blown up one after another, the entire sea seemed to be shaking, and the flagships of some European fleet commanders were also affected.

A huge column of water exploded not far in front of the European warship on which the Duke of Peter and Archbishop Span were riding, and the splash of water directly soaked the clothes of the Duke of Peter and Archbishop Spavid, who were standing on the deck.
