The distance between the fleets of the two sides is constantly shortening, and the sixteen-pounder guns of the battleships of the combined fleet of eight European countries have begun to reach the firing range and begin to counterattack the battleships of the Ming fleet on a large scale.

More and more sixteen-pounder guns were fired in the "boom boom" salvo.

Similarly, the Ming fleet was also constantly firing artillery, and each round of artillery firing poured nearly 10,000 shells into the European Combined Fleet, destroying dozens of warships of the European Combined Fleet.

"You don't have a chance to win!" On the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, Shen Jing sneered disdainfully.

Originally, the two hundred Shenwei-class warships of the Ming Dynasty had a good chance of winning, and later built another hundred Shenwei-class warships, and the total number of the two fleets reached 300, which was to win steadily.

No matter how hard the combined fleet of the eight European countries struggled, it could not escape the fate of defeat.

The Ming battleship changed its shells extremely quickly.

After the gunners on the battleship opened their guns, they immediately opened the breech of the cannons, released the shells, replaced them with new shells, and then continued to aim and fire, the time interval was too short.

When the distance between the two sides was close to a distance of two thousand meters, the Ming battleship fired again.

The same several dozen warships of the combined European fleet were destroyed.

At this moment, there were less than 420 warships left in the combined European fleet, and the losses were extremely heavy.

At this time, the combined European fleet was not only sixteen-pounder, but even fourteen-pounder guns had enough range.

The closer the distance, the more intense the battle between the two fleets became.

Soon, the twelve-pounder and ten-pounder guns of the combined European fleet joined in, and the battle between the two fleets was at its most intense.

In the Sky Mountain, dense cannonballs were flying, and even because they were too dense, some of the shells that the two sides hit each other directly collided and exploded in the air.

In general, the Ming battleship not only changed the shells faster, but also the shells were more powerful.

Although the number of shells fired at the European Combined Fleet was slightly smaller, the Ming fleet always had a firm upper hand.

"Quack!"

From time to time, the Ming battleship was hit too much and sank.

When the fleets of the two sides were still separated by a distance of 1,500 meters, the warships of the European Combined Fleet were already less than 300, and the damage was very terrifying, while the Daming warships only sank more than 30, and the number of warships on both sides was almost as good as expected.

It was terrifying, and the entire combined fleet was filled with panic.

Because all the ships were involved in the artillery salvo, the Combined European Fleet almost stopped moving forward, and each battleship rotated its hull repeatedly, and the cannons on both sides rotated one after the other to fire.

On the other hand, on the side of the Ming fleet, the degree of sailing forward has not slowed down in the slightest due to the continuous firing of cannons.

The naval battle was fought to this extent, and the balance of victory had already been completely tilted in favor of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter how unwilling the Dutch and the British were, no matter how much they wanted to defeat the Ming fleet, if there were no irresistible surprises in naval battles, almost all of them depended on absolute hard power, and intrigues were almost useless on the unconcealed sea level.

Moreover, the commander of the Eight-Nation Combined Fleet may have a certain talent for commanding naval battles, but where are the commanders of the two major fleets of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Jing and Zheng Sen, missing.

Although all the warships of the Ming Dynasty are only three hundred together, less than half of the six hundred and forty-one of the eight European United Fleets, and the number of cannons installed on each warship is not as good as the warships of the European Eight Nations Combined Fleet, but all the warships of the Ming Dynasty are Shenwei-class warships, and the Shenwei cannons installed are not only several times faster than the traditional European cannons, but also three times more powerful than the shells, plus the range of the Shenwei cannons of 3,000 meters, on the whole, the combat effectiveness of a Shenwei-class battleship in the Ming Dynasty is only equal to three European traditional warships.

However, even if it is only equivalent to three, the combined combat effectiveness of the 300 Shenwei-class warships of the Ming Dynasty is no less than 900 traditional European warships, which is much more than the 641 combined fleets of the eight European countries.

Therefore, from beginning to end, the Ming fleet is sure to win.

The commanders of the European Combined Fleet were just unwilling, not believing that the Ming warships were all powerful Shenwei-class warships, and when they knew, the two sides were already shelling each other, and they could not withdraw from the naval battle, so they could only stubbornly carry out the naval battle.

In fact, although there are still 300 warships left in the European Combined Fleet, there are 70 Dutch-class warships still 3,000 meters away, but the accuracy of these 70 Dutch-class warships is too low to pose much threat to the Ming fleet.

There are only more than 200 warships left, and in the face of the powerful warships of the Ming fleet, which is still more numerous, they have fallen to a complete disadvantage.

"Boom! Rumble! "More than half of the warships of the European Combined Fleet were lost, and the flagship under the personal command of the commander-in-chief of the eight-nation fleet was not spared.

"Ah" The last battleship of the Holy Roman Empire, which was also the flagship of the Holy Roman Empire, was aimed at a salvo by the cannons of the two Ming warships, and eight shells were hit in a row at once.

The battleship exploded violently in an instant, and most of the hull was shattered, and the flames soared into the sky.

The commander of the Holy Roman Fleet was also swept into the sea by the blazing waves of cannonballs, and sank directly to the bottom of the sea to feed the sharks without even struggling, and the Holy Roman Fleet was completely annihilated.

The second to be completely destroyed was the fleet of the Kingdom of Poland, but the commander of the fleet of the Kingdom of Poland had long been killed, and the Polish battleship on the left that sank was not the flagship.

Both the Holy Roman Empire and Poland had only a few warships to participate in the battle, and they were also joined by the Austrian fleet with fewer warships, and the Austrian fleet had only two ships in total, although they hid in the center of the fleet at the beginning, but their number of warships was too small, and it was inevitable that they would be wiped out at this moment.

"Quack!" The last Austrian battleship was also blown off its keel, and a large hole was blown out of the bottom of the ship, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and finally the Austrian battleship was inevitably sunk.

At this point, the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, Austria and others only sent a few warships to participate in the battle, and the fleets of the three countries, which thought that they could take advantage of the fire, were completely wiped out.

On the sea, only the British, Spanish, Dutch, French and Portuguese warships remained in the battle of the Ming fleet.

The five countries were originally the five major sea powers in Europe, and the weakest Portugal sent sixty-two warships to participate in the battle, although it also lost more than half, but it was not so quickly wiped out.

Although the naval battle is still going on, the European Combined Fleet has completely lost confidence in defeating the Ming Dynasty, and its morale has plummeted.
