Chapter 288 The tree is in ashes

……

Ahead, the two Chinese ships seemed to be speeding up, but it was obviously a little late compared to the Franc battleship that was already pursuing at full speed.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching......

De Sousa squinted ahead, a haughty smile on his face.

The formation of this side was well maintained, with two columns, one on the left and one on the right, and it didn't take long for them to be trapped.

As the distance got closer and closer, the fastest "Sophia" had gradually bitten into the snow-white wake left by the big iron ship in front.

Judging from the wake, the course of the big ship was not very straight, but crooked, as if it was trying to make a pursuit.

"Hold on to the outside line, don't let it run!"

De Sousa shouted loudly, his face full of hideousness.

Stupid Chinese guys, this is the sea, not a deep alley, so twisting around like this is a fart, wouldn't it be a waste of speed?

Is it because he didn't die fast enough? Or are you too scared to hold the rudder?

"Order Silva, go all out and pursue the wooden galleon!"

After giving the order, de Sousa stared at the front with both eyes, and the greedy gaze did not leave the large iron ship that was getting clearer and clearer for a moment.

The Doge wanted this big ship, so he did too, and the other wooden sailing ship could not attract his attention, so he gave it to Silva as cannon fodder.

……

Now it was clear that the great iron ship had no sails, but there was a large chimney in its stern, and black smoke was rising from it......

"Could it be that it burns the stove?"

Sha De Sous's face was full of surprise, he really couldn't think of any relationship between the power of the ship and the burning of the stove......

Immediately, he discovered more strange things - this strangely shaped iron ship, with its tall side, was a fake!

Originally, when he looked at it from afar, he couldn't see clearly, thinking that the ship was extremely tall, but now he could see clearly, the stern of the ship was indeed very high, but the side of the ship was not high at all.

However, there are many iron shelves in the cabin, and many of them are equipped with colorful square iron sheds, and if you don't look closely, you will think that they are one with the ship's side.

"What a strange ship!"

De Sousa couldn't even think of what those boxy iron sheds were for, and he couldn't understand why their sides were unimaginably low.

However, this is a good thing, such a low side of the ship, as long as he shoots a few shots at the iron shed and stern, and then his soldiers jump over, it will be far less difficult than imagined.

Thinking of this, De Sousa gasped with excitement......

"Order the artillerymen, open the gun doors and prepare to fire!" He shouted viciously.

At this moment, in front of his eyes, it seemed that he had seen that the wharf of Nanwan Port was crowded with people, all of whom were compatriots who greeted his triumph, and the cheers resounded in the sky;

He saw that the Governor was smiling and challenging himself with a king-size medal on his chest, and a large red ribbon with a long tassel around his neck;

He saw beautiful and passionate Spanish girls, vying to throw winks at him, flowers and champagne piling up his room......

……

However, a scene that happened in the next moment immediately interrupted de Sousa's sweet dreams and pulled him back from his illusion to reality.

The two targets, one large and one small, suddenly split left and right, and each turned out......

"Huh? This is...... Want to split up and run away? ”

De Sousa reacted immediately, and a sneer broke in his heart, Lao Tzu pressed the outside line with two columns, isn't it just to prevent you?

He was about to give the order to turn the rudder and pursue, when suddenly, he always felt that something was wrong.

Because, to his great surprise, there was a scene - the two ships, each rowing a large arc, turned around and came back.

It's just that now they actually occupy the outer line, and instead wrap his two columns in the middle.

"Two boats, five boats?"

De Sousa's eyes were uncertain, a little confused.

If they do this, if they are fast enough, it makes sense to want to escape, and if they want to fight, shouldn't they concentrate their firepower?

Could it be that they are making a false shot and want to run back? But where can this go?

"Is this going to run or fighting?"

De Sousa was confused again.

At this moment, something even more unexpected happened to De Sousa - the wooden sailing ship on the right fell sail!

This is completely contrary to common sense!

At the moment of life and death, whether it is fighting or running, how can you drop the sails?

De Sousa's gray eyes were about to bulge out.

"It's ...... To surrender? ”

A few seconds later, it dawned on de Sousa!

The other party turned around and gave up his power, and he really couldn't think of a more reasonable reason other than surrendering.

Happiness came too suddenly!

For a while, he didn't know what to do!

……

However, de Sousa's happiness only lasted for a short time.

Because, the warship "Qinzhou" that fell sail did not slow down, but was heading towards it at high speed!

Not only did it not slow down, but it looked faster than when it was downwind!

Not to mention the big iron ship, which didn't use sails in the first place, and naturally didn't care whether it was downwind or headwind.

In the blink of an eye, the big iron boat, which was still a little distance just now, was already approaching at high speed, so close that you could see the people standing on the side of the other party......

De Sousa blinked, shook his head vigorously, and shouted at the top of his throat:

"Quick, catch up! Order the artillery, change positions! Open the left porthole......"

Originally, the enemy ship was on his right, and the gunner opened the gun door in the right porthole, but now it was necessary to immediately switch to the left.

Fortunately, there is still time, according to the battle regulations, the artillery on both sides should have been loaded with gunpowder and cannons, and at the moment, the two sides have not yet entered the firing range.

After giving the order, de Sousa turned his head and looked at the right column.

He was a little worried that Silva, an idiot, would be even more overwhelmed, and now that the two sides were facing each other, the exchange of fire was imminent!

It's a pity that De Sousa is really eating radishes and worrying about it this time, because he can't take care of himself anymore.

Before he could turn around, he heard an exclamation in his ears.

De Sousa hurriedly turned back, and finally saw the biggest and last unbelievable scene of his life.

Two black dots!

No! It's two flames!

No, no, no! It was two balls with their buttocks spitting fire, each drawing a graceful arc, flying towards him!

"My God! This is...... What the heck? ”

God was too busy to respond to him.

De Sousa's stunned state lasted only a few seconds.

The next moment, except for a flash of divine white light that suddenly flashed in front of him, he didn't feel anything, and he went to heaven......

……

Not far behind, the sailors on the decks of the remaining three battleships witnessed this miracle with their own eyes!

The two flagships, the "Sophia" and the "Skull Flag", were blown into two pieces in a dazzling white light almost at the same time, and the fracture was thrown high and fell heavily......

In the blink of an eye, the canopy was gone!

De Sousa and Silva, two brothers in distress, did not live up to the same year and month, but chose to meet their God on the same day......

(Question: The Governor of Macau, Fei Susha, sent people to attack the Chinese ships on the sea without passing the council, except for the purpose of using this to establish power and suppress the Spaniards, what was the main purpose?) ）

Thank you: "Baby", "Red Blossom Trance", "5 Half Lemon C", "An Zhi Ruosu" for the reward! Thank you!
