"Boom! Rumble! Boom ---"

In the early morning of 23 October, several Spanish ships sailing near the Strait of Gibraltar were sunk, with shattered planks and the bodies of a dozen Spaniards floating on the sea.

Noon! Facing the blazing Rangoon, the Ming fleet sailed into the Strait of Gibraltar.

"Ou! Oh, God! That's Ming's fleet! Several Spanish sentries on the north shore of the Strait of Gibraltar, on the Tarifa Castle, saw through the telescope the mighty Ming fleet on the sea, and the huge hull of the thousand-ton steel battleship, which made the eyes of these Spanish sentries widen.

"Doodoo ----" alarms sounded throughout Tarifa Citadel and Tarifa seaport.

The Spanish soldiers in the castle were urgently mobilized, and Spanish soldiers could be seen running everywhere.

More than 130 shore defense guns deployed on the edge of the coast were removed from their armor, revealing their hulls. Each of these coastal defense guns weighed 10,000 pounds and had a range of 5,000 meters, making them Spain's most important weapon to deter half of the Strait of Gibraltar.

In the harbor, eight Spanish warships departed to meet the Ming fleet.

The shock brought by the first two naval battles was too great, and in the face of the Ming fleet, whether it was the soldiers of the Spanish 6th Army who operated the shore defense guns, or the Spanish Navy soldiers on the eight battleships, their faces were a little pale, and there was fear in their expressions.

On a 7,500-ton battleship, Zheng Sen, commander of the Ming fleet, looked through the telescope at the panicked Spanish soldiers in the port of Tarifa and the eight Spanish warships that had just left the port, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Fire them and destroy them!" Zheng Sen ordered softly.

This was a soft sound, followed by the fierce sound of the battleship's main guns.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The battleship's main guns roared and spewed fire. After so many years, the Daming battleship has reached the third generation, 7,500 tons, and the caliber of the main gun has increased to 305 mm.

At this moment, the distance between the Ming fleet and the Tarifa seaport is still more than 7,000 meters, and the main guns of each ship are fired.

A huge artillery shell with a diameter of 305 millimeters crossed a distance of more than 7,000 meters and smashed into the Tarifa Citadel and Tarifa seaport.

The shells exploded violently, sending out huge fires that shook the entire Tarifa Citadel, shattered buildings, and blasted out craters in the streets. A squad of hundreds of Spanish troops was hit directly by a 305 mm shell.

After a fire, nearly ten Spanish soldiers who were closest to them were blown to shredded flesh, their bones were gone, and more than 20 people were injured to varying degrees.

"Ou! Don't ---" shouted the Spanish soldiers, who were lucky enough not to be injured, and scattered in all directions.

And this is just one of the scenes, the continuous shelling of the Ming battleships, every moment such shells fall into the Tarifa Citadel and the harbor, blowing up all kinds of ships in the harbor, killing the Spanish soldiers and ordinary Spaniards in the castle, and turning the entire Tarifa into a burning hell.

A 10,000-pound coastal defense cannon was blown up in a violent explosion.

The Ming fleet was still seven thousand meters away, and these shore defense guns with a range of five thousand meters could not reach it at all, and could only be destroyed by the Ming battleships on one side. Eight Spanish warships, which had just left port, were also sunk in the explosion.

In the face of a huge 305 mm caliber shell, these wooden Spanish battleships did not even need a second one, as long as one hit the main hull, they were able to sink the entire Spanish battleship directly, and in just a few minutes, all eight Spanish battleships were completely annihilated.

In less than half an hour, the 2,000-year-old Tarifa Citadel, which was founded during the Carthaginian dynasty, was also destroyed, reduced to rubble, and burned with fire.

The fire in the ruins of Tarifa Castle burned more and more, the fire light illuminated most of the Strait of Gibraltar, facing these fires, the Ming fleet passed through the Strait of Gibraltar strongly, sailed into the Mediterranean Sea, and sailed all the way towards the Aegean Sea, with a clear goal, according to the degree of the Ming fleet, it only takes four days at most to drive from the Mediterranean Sea into the Aegean Sea.

On the same day, the news that the Ming fleet sailed strongly into the Mediterranean shocked the whole of Spain, and then spread to the depth of the big 6 in Europe, and all countries were terrified!

There is no doubt that another major war between the European countries and the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, and the eyes of the people of all countries are focused on the Aegean Sea and Constantinople, where a large number of ships and more than 1.4 million troops from both sides are gathered, and it is a major war related to the survival of the whole of Europe.

In order to win this war, the European Anti-Ming Alliance not only gathered a million coalition troops in Constantinople, but also gathered a large number of warships in the Aegean Sea to prevent the intervention of the Ming fleet.

At this moment, the Ming fleet really came and approached the Aegean Sea, and when the news arrived, it instantly made the coalition fleet nervous.

"God forbid! Victory must belong to the Alliance, Amen! The coalition army gritted their teeth and prayed with a hideous face, their expressions full of determination!

On the morning of 27 October, the Ming fleet, consisting of 100 steel battleships, finally passed through the Mediterranean Sea and sailed into the waters of the Aegean Sea.

There are many islands in the Aegean Sea, more than 2,500.

Some islands even hold the main shipping lanes of the Aegean Sea, and in the past few days, the European anti-Ming coalition forces have urgently redeployed shore defense artillery on these important islands to intercept them layer by layer.

Although the Ming fleet does not know which island the European anti-Ming alliance will deploy the coastal defense battery, the Ming fleet has hundreds of battleships, and it is confident that it has absolute strength, and any strategy is not enough to threaten the fleet!

"Boom, boom, boom---" The coalition shore defense artillery on one of the islands suddenly opened fire on the Ming fleet passing through the sea area near the island.

The shells exploded on the surface of the sea near the battleship, blowing up huge columns of water. There were also two or three direct hits on the hull of the Ming battleship, and under the violent explosion, two unlucky Ming naval soldiers were overturned and thrown into the sea, a small steel plate was also lifted away, and the battleship suffered a little minor injury.

"Shoot back!" Zheng Sen ordered with a gloomy face.

The guns of the ships aimed at the islands from which the shells had come and began to return fire.

A salvo of 100 battleships, two rounds in a row, turned the entire island into a sea of fire in an instant, no matter how many coastal defense cannons deployed by the European anti-Ming coalition forces on this island, it must have been destroyed.

After easily destroying the island, the Ming fleet continued to sail deep into the Aegean Sea, and along the way, from time to time, the shore defense artillery hidden on the island by the coalition forces launched a surprise attack on the passing Ming fleet.

However, everything was unexpected, except for some minor injuries caused to a few Ming battleships, it did not play a role at all, but instead hundreds of them were deployed on the islands, hundreds of shore defense cannons were destroyed, and thousands of allied soldiers were killed.

The Ming fleet broke through the island defenses in the southern Aegean Sea and entered the northern Aegean Sea.

Subsequently, the coalition fleet group deployed by the anti-Ming alliance in the northern Aegean Sea appeared in the sight of the Ming fleet, and the coalition army could no longer avoid a head-on battle with the Ming fleet.
