Chapter 962: Nightmare Comes
Entering the European seas, the first stop that Shen Jing and other Ming fleets arrived at was the Portuguese coast. Heaven's Voice'.『 2
"Ou! God, what is that! The merchant merchants of various countries in the coastal waters looked at the Daming fleet that suddenly appeared, their eyes widened, and they exclaimed in surprise.
It's too big, and it's too weird! Although some of these merchants have been to Daming for sea trade, it is a pity that they can only stop at the Strait of Malacca, and they cannot enter the Ming Dynasty along the 6 inland sea, so these merchants are also the first time to see the huge ironclad ships of Daming.
Just when the merchants on these merchant ships were panicking, on a 5,000-ton battleship of the Ming fleet, Shen Jing put down the binoculars in his hand and coldly ordered: "Open fire, sink these merchant ships!" ”
The Ming fleet came to Europe, originally to retaliate against European countries, whether it is the merchant ships of various countries or the coastal cities of various countries, are the target of Ming retaliation, besides, more than ten years ago, the European eight-nation joint fleet invaded the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and once brutally bombarded the coastal cities on both sides of Malacca, causing a large number of innocent people in the Ming Dynasty to die, Shen Jing and other officers and soldiers of the Ming fleet still remember this big hatred deeply.
The merchant ships of European countries along the coast of the Great 6 of Europe were the first victims of the butcher's knife of the Ming fleet.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Only about five battleships opened fire, and it was enough to sink the two dozen or so merchant ships of European countries in front of them.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! "One after another, huge pillars of sea water were blown up, and the merchant ships that were hit exploded violently, and the slightly smaller merchant ships were even directly shattered by the huge shells of the main gun of 250 millimeters.
A large number of European merchants on merchant ships were killed and sunk into the sea along with the broken and sunken merchant ships.
After sinking more than two dozen merchant ships from European countries that it encountered, the Ming fleet continued to sail forward.
Soon, the big 6 of Portugal appeared in front of the officers and men of the Ming fleet.
Here, it happens to be Puerto Lagos, the largest port in southern Portugal.
As one of the five major sea powers in Europe, Portugal's national strength is in the forefront of Europe, and there are many merchant ships from various countries coming and going to the port of Lagos, Portugal, with more than 200 coming and going, and several Portuguese warships are also on guard in the port at all times.
"What's going on, what happened just now!" Since the more than 20 merchant ships of various countries sunk by the Ming fleet were actually merchant ships sailing from the port of Lagos, which was very close to the port of Lagos, the sound of the cannon clearly entered the port of Lagos, which immediately caused chaos in the port.
However, they were answered by a flood of shells.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Ninety-six steel battleships of the Ming Dynasty opened fire in unison, and directly fired shells into the harbor thousands of meters away, bombarding the merchant ships of various countries in the harbor.
Under the bombardment of the Ming fleet, there was a sea of fire in the port, and the huge water column that was blown up by the cannonballs was hit by the cannonballs, and the merchant ships that were sinking in flames were sinking, and the breath of destruction descended on the port of Lagos.
The firepower of the Ming fleet, composed of ninety-six steel battleships, was so strong that the few Portuguese warships on guard in the harbor were sunk in the harbor before they even had time to leave the port.
It was a one-sided massacre, and the merchant ships in the harbor had no room to resist and could not escape from the harbor.
One by one, merchant ships of various countries were sunk in the harbor, and countless broken wooden planks and corpses of merchants and sailors of various countries floated in the seawater, and the entire sea water in the harbor seemed to be stained red with the blood from these corpses.
The battleship broke through the reddish waters mixed with corpses and sailed into the port of Lagos.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Having sunk all the merchant ships of various countries in the port of Lagos, the Ming fleet will also bombard the city of Lagos, which is adjacent to the port of Lagos.
Ciudad Lagos is a Portuguese city with a population of 100,000 and a history of nearly 2,000 years, and it is also one of the oldest castles in Portugal, but at the moment one of the oldest castles in Portugal is being destroyed.
Hundreds of shells poured into the city of Lagos, directly blasting the city into ruins.
Death and despair! The entire city of Lagos was filled with the cries and desperate voices of the Portuguese.
By the time the Ming fleet left the port of Lagos, the city of Lagos was in ruins.
The devastation of Puerto Lagos and Ciudad Lagos heralded a nightmare to the whole of Europe.
After destroying Lagos, Shen Jing divided the fleet into two according to the plan he had made earlier, sailing all the way north, in the direction of England and the Netherlands, and all the way into the Mediterranean, bombarding the southern coast of Spain, the southwestern coast of France, and a large number of small coastal countries in the Italian peninsula.
The Ming fleet, divided into two routes, sank all the merchant ships of all the countries it encountered along the way, and bombarded all the European castles built along the coast, reducing them to ruins.
Shen Jing followed the North Route Fleet, and after leaving the port of Lagos, he went all the way north, and advanced all the way to the destruction of Sribben, the capital of Portugal.
Portugal, as one of the five main forces of the European United Fleet that invaded the Ming Dynasty twice, is one of the five countries that the Ming Fleet came to Europe to punish this time, not only Portugal, England, France, the Netherlands, Spain, none of them will be spared, Portugal is only the first.
With the destruction, on September 4, after destroying more than a dozen Portuguese coastal castles along the way, the Daming North Road Fleet came to the waters outside the port of Sri Ben in the Portuguese country, and also brought the destruction to Sri Ben.
Due to the distance on the 6 is farther than the sea, and the steam-powered Ming battleships on the sea are not slower than the horses on the 6, although the Ming fleet has to bombard the coastal castles passing by along the way, wasting some time, but the Ming fleet still rushed to the sea outside Sri Ben Harbor at the same time as the king of Portugal got the news.
The King of Portugal was called up during his nap, and he was still a little angry, but the news he received instantly turned him into a blank face.
"It can't be! Our combined fleet is fighting in the Ming Empire, how could the warships of the Ming Empire come to Europe and bomb our Portuguese merchant ships and coastal castles! The King of Portugal's tone changed, and his tone was full of disbelief.
It stands to reason that at this time, the warship group of their combined fleet of European countries is attacking the Ming Dynasty, destroying the fleet and coastal cities of the Ming Dynasty, and the fleet of the Ming Dynasty should also resist their combined fleet groups of European countries in the Daming Sea at this time, why did it appear in Europe, how is this possible, unless--------
Unless their huge Combined Fleet battleship group has already been defeated by the Great Ming!
"It's impossible, I don't believe it!" The King of Portugal roared with a grim face.
