971 Watching a big show

I saw that in the inside of the Ming fleet, puffs of smoke began to rise. When the people on the warships of European countries saw it, they thought that there was a fire in the warships of the Ming Kingdom!

However, most people know that the Ming army has a new type of warship, that is, ironclad smoking warships. Since there is smoke, it means that it is this new type of battleship, and not the battleship, that is on fire.

Robert, in particular, was frightened, and hurriedly looked at it, counting the puffs of smoke that came out to see how many there were?

Before he could count them all, he saw that the battleships on the periphery of the Ming fleet suddenly dispersed. The smoke-filled battleship drove out.

These ironclad and smoking battleships, lined up in a horizontal formation, met the warships of European countries that attacked Lisbon.

"Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three!" Robert quickly counted and got a confirmed number, and was immediately surprised, this is much more than they expected, "The Spaniards are going to suffer again!" ”

The reason for this is that the attack on Lisbon can be said to be the home of the Spaniards. Therefore, the Spanish fleet was rushed to the forefront. No matter how resistant the ironclad smoking battleships are, in short, they are certainly not something that the first wave of fleets can deal with.

Seeing the ironclad smoking battleships in the Ming fleet suddenly rushing out, the Spanish fleet did not want to fight. However, this war on the sea is definitely not something that can come and go if you want to. In particular, the Spanish fleet was followed by the fleets of other countries, and it was even more difficult to turn around. In this way, the only way to rush forward is to rush forward.

On the shore, the Portuguese, ignoring the stray guns, all flocked to the port to watch the battle. Seeing that the fleets on both sides were about to engage in battle, to be honest, they were more nervous and worried than anyone else. After all, if the Ming army was defeated, they would have to go back to the days of being enslaved by other countries, which they could not accept.

In the rumbling of the cannon, they were nervous, and suddenly became excited.

"It's amazing, do you see it, do you see it, how powerful the guns of the Ming battleship are, it actually pierced a hole as big as a Spanish battleship with one shot, haha, scrapped!"

"If you want me to say, it's actually such a long distance, and it can hit so accurately, this is the most terrifying!"

"Whatever, anyway, killing the Spaniards, killing these European robbers is the most powerful!"

“……”

These Portuguese who watched the battle were all elated, and they had rave reviews for the guns on the Ming warships!

In the middle of this, suddenly, Luther Gimf asked Raff in a loud voice: "Aren't you familiar with the Ming Dynasty?" It's not that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is called the Franc machine gun, and what Hongyi cannons are, they are all learned from our Europe. Why is the Ming artillery so powerful now? ”

"Haha, that's for sure!" When Raff heard this, he laughed and said, "Have you ever seen this steam ironclad battleship in Europe?" People have it! Look, how powerful! It can be seen from this that the artillery is powerful, that is inevitable. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said, "Let's just say that the steam engine is good, is there one in Europe?" It is said that the Ming Emperor was inspired by the heroes of the wine theory, and finally invented the steam engine. You see, you can drive battleships, you can also drive carriages, tsk, don't be too powerful! ”

"I see!" When Luther Kimf heard this, he suddenly realized, "Then I must drink a few more glasses to see if I can invent something!" ”

When Raff heard this, he wanted to say that the point was not this, but the brain. But now that the naval battle was going on, he didn't have the heart to argue with his friends, so he focused on the sea in the harbor.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After a few rounds of shelling, the warships on both sides were very close. According to the normal way of playing, either adjust the course, seize the upper hand, and then carry out sideside shelling; Either that, they will approach the enemy ship directly and start a gang fight.

The combined fleets of European countries had obviously considered in advance how to deal with the Ming ironclad smoking warships, and knew that if it was just shelling, they would be ironclad and not afraid of shelling at all, so they all chose to prepare for a gang jump.

Their way of playing was immediately seen through by the Portuguese on the shore. Immediately, they all smiled and became worried.

"If the Ming fleet has fewer ships, there will definitely be fewer soldiers. If you jump to the gang, you will suffer a big loss! ”

"Yes, as long as one warship comes over to jump into the gang fight, then the other warships will also come over, and they can't be killed at all."

"It's dangerous, the Ming battleships should retreat quickly, keep their distance, don't give those battleships a chance to get closer, and use the advantage of artillery to kill them!"

“……”

Just as they were discussing worriedly, they saw that the twenty-three steam ironclad battleships at the front of the Ming fleet did not avoid it at all, and directly rushed towards the enemy ship with their bows.

Generally speaking, if you want to jump in a gang fight, it's good if you have two boats side by side. Now that the Ming army directly rammed it with the bow of the ship, which warship would dare to continue to use the gang jumping tactic? Otherwise, if you can't jump over a few people, not to mention, people's iron armor will collide with you, and you will definitely be smashed by the battleship.

As a result, the warships of the European countries in front of them turned their rudders to dodge, trying to fight parallel to the Ming warships and then jump into the gang.

However, the steam ironclad battleships of the Ming Dynasty were lined up. Twenty-three ships, almost all of which are occupied by the sea area on this side of the port, and they plough directly over it, which is simply unavoidable.

The huge impact sound of "bang bang bang ......" immediately sounded one after another.

"Okay, great, see no, that unlucky Spanish battleship was smashed in half!"

"Look over there, it's a Dutch battleship, and it's also badly bad, the bow is gone, and it's flooded!"

"Hahaha, good, good bang, sink these damn battleships!"

“……”

Amid the earth-shattering applause of the Portuguese on the shore, the smoke on the twenty-three steam ironclad battleships became thicker, and the battleships, which had slowed down, began to slowly accelerate again, facing the second wave of enemy ships.

In this process, except for a short period before and after the impact, the guns in the bow of the ship are always roaring, tearing apart the enemy ship in front of it, and also leaving enough distance for the ship to accelerate.

Behind these steam ironclad battleships was the unlucky wave of enemy warships. Most of them were hit and the hull was badly damaged. There were only a few of them, which turned quickly, but were only brushed by the ironclad battleship, and after shaking a few times, they did not damage too much.

However, behind the steam ironclad battleship, it was closely followed by the other warships of the Ming Dynasty. Before these warships with little damage recovered from their panic, they ushered in the second wave of attacks from the Ming fleet.

Don't you want to be parallel? The Ming warship behind this is to balance with you. But before they could jump into the gang, the guns on the side of the ship had already fired.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the midst of this cannon fire, some of the Portuguese on the shore were clapping desperately, some were cheering happily, and some even jumped for joy.

"Well played, well played, played wonderfully!"

"It's so cool to watch, you should beat these European bandits like this!"

"The Ming fleet will definitely win, go and call your mother and sisters from the cellar to watch a good show!"

“……”

Amid their cheers, the steam ironclad battleship began the second round of greeting the enemy. Behind them, the other warships of the Ming Dynasty were closely followed, and the formation did not change at all, as if the first round of engagement had never happened.

"Hahaha, see it, another battleship has been broken, it's good!"

"I really love the steam ironclad battleship, this is absolutely invincible at sea!"

"Bump, bump, bump, bump their waist!"

“……”

The Portuguese on the shore are just celebrating a festival, or watching a big show, and they are still nervous and worried at the beginning.

They could all foresee that if they continued to fight like this, the Ming fleet would be able to win easily.

However, after the combined fleets of the European countries survived the initial panic and realized that they could not effectively deal with the ironclad smoking warships, they changed their tactics.

By this time, the battlefield had moved to the outer sea, which was more spacious.

The Dutch and British fleets split on both sides, bypassing the ironclad smoking battleships and heading straight for the ordinary Ming battleships behind. Obviously, he wants to bully the soft and fear the hard.

Seeing this, the Portuguese on the shore were worried. Those who have bad eyes, hurry up and ask for good eyes.

"Don't shake me, you shake me dizzy, what else can I say!"

"The artillery bombardment on both sides has begun, good, yes, the artillery of our Ming fleet is very powerful!"

"Ah, it's a pity, there is a Ming warship that is a little seriously damaged. But fortunately, the losses of those British ships were even heavier. ”

"Don't worry, rest assured, in artillery battles, the Ming fleet still has the upper hand. The Ming fleet not only has powerful artillery, but also the formation is not chaotic, unlike the opposite side, which has been attacked by ironclad battleships first, and there are not many formations......"

"Hey, something seems wrong, what are they trying to do?"

“……”

The situation of naval warfare seems to have changed again. The steam ironclad battleships were still plowing forward, but the European warships that went around to the rear adopted new tactics when the shelling was at a disadvantage.

"It's really shameless, relying on the fact that there are so many of them, they are going to use a jump gang to fight against ordinary warships of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Then what should I do, there are many of them, and the gang jumping battle of the Ming battleship will be dangerous!"

“……”

The Portuguese on the shore were worried again, and they could vaguely predict that even if the Ming fleet could win this battle with ironclad warships, it was estimated that the losses would be heavy!

Although they hoped for victory, if the Ming fleet suffered heavy losses, it was definitely not what they wanted to see.

Their worries were the last hope for victory in the combined fleets of European countries. They wanted to deal with the other warships in the Ming fleet, and finally find a way to deal with the lone twelve ironclad smoking warships.

Because of this, they are all out of the way. The European joint warships that bypassed the ironclad battleship rushed to the Daming battleship one after another, and they didn't have to worry about being crushed, even if they withstood the shelling, they were all gearing up to wait for the gang jumping battle to begin.
