Finally, there was a British warship, with their superb skills in operating sail warships, to complete the merger with the Ming warship. The sailors who had been prepared for a long time began to pounce on the Daming battleship.

Some jumped directly to the Daming battleship, and some pulled the rope to swing to the Daming battleship, in short, no matter what method was used, falling to the Daming battleship first, it was their first step to victory.

Seeing this scene, Robert on the flagship behind couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as one battleship approached, the sailors on the Ming warships would be forced to engage the sailors of the British Empire and would no longer be able to operate the warship, so that other warships would be able to rely on it to support.

With such a first ship, there can be a second one. If you concoct it in the same way, I believe that with the number of warships in the combined fleet, you can eat these ordinary Ming warships by relying on the superiority in strength. If possible, you can also capture Ming sailors to blackmail the Ming troops on those ironclad smoking battleships. At that time, your own warships will be full of Ming prisoners, see if they dare to collide!

And the Portuguese on the shore, seeing this situation, no one cared about the invincibility of the steam ironclad battleship for a while. Because they also know the wishful thinking of Robert and others. Now the focus of the war has shifted after the change in tactics of the combined fleets of the European countries.

Unless the Ming sailors on the battleship can quickly clean up the enemy sailors who jumped past and get rid of the entanglement of the enemy warships, otherwise, in the endless gang fighting, the Ming warships will definitely fall.

However, how can the gang jumping war be solved at once? This is a hand-to-hand battle, and you don't know who is dead or alive?

Just as they were so worried, the British sailors had already landed on the Ming warship with a cry of "wow". Seeing that the goal was achieved, the morale was much higher.

However, at this moment, a lot of gunpowder smoke suddenly came out of the deck of the Ming battleship, and I saw that the British sailors who had fallen to the Ming battleship or were about to fall to the Ming battleship fell to the ground one by one.

Almost at the same time, the sound of gunfire was continuously mixed with the sound of cannonballs.

The most critical thing is that the musket shooting of the Ming army is almost continuous, and the firepower formed by this suddenly occupies the absolute upper hand in the gang jumping battle. Although there were also a few Ming soldiers who were shot or hit by cold weapons such as bows, arrows, and axes and fell to the ground, there were more British sailors who fell to the ground or fell into the sea in batches.

The sudden and fierce gunfire on the Ming battleship made the sailors on the British battleship stunned. Instinctively, they dared to jump back and retreat, or simply lay on their own decks to avoid the heavy guns of the Ming army.

At the same time, they wondered in their hearts why the Ming army on the battleship was so fierce, even though there were not many people on the battleship. has a better look, and immediately recalled that the musket in the hand of the Ming army seemed to be particularly strange, as if there were many muskets welded together, doesn't this mean that a Ming army can use several muskets to fire?

Upon discovering this, these British sailors couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. It turns out that firearms in naval warfare can still be done like this?

At this moment, on the other side of the Ming battleship, another British battleship approached. The sailors on these battleships saw that the Ming sailors had already opened fire. Although they were surprised by the fierceness of the Ming army's muskets, they had just fired a round, and in such a short period of time, they would definitely not have time to reload their ammunition.

Therefore, they did not need to be explained by the officer, and prepared for the gang battle as quickly as possible, hoping to use the time gained by the sacrifice of their accomplices on the first British battleship to catch the Ming army off guard.

The Portuguese on the shore just wanted to be happy and praised the fierceness of the firepower on the Daming battleship, and when they saw the situation of the other British battleship, they understood their intentions, and suddenly they could not be happy, and they immediately became worried again.

The reason for this is that the number of troops is far less than that of the enemy!

But no one expected that when the sailors on the British battleship first started to jump into the gang battle, they saw countless gunpowder smoke coming out of the Ming battleship, and at the same time as the gunfire rang out continuously, those British sailors were shot and fell to the ground or fell into the water.

Caught off guard, the sailors on the second British battleship also suffered heavy losses.

Among them, a few quick-eyed British sailors immediately escaped by squeezing themselves on their own decks. Thinking back to the scene I had just seen, I was a little dumbfounded.

Because they saw that those Ming sailors didn't need to be loaded with ammunition, and after throwing away the strange gun that had finished fighting, they actually took out another strange gun. It was apparently already reloaded before the war, and there was no need to temporarily reload ammunition at all.

There are even sailors who see that there seem to be three such strange guns in a Ming army. This means that even if the musket in the hands of the Ming army is finished, there is still a musket waiting for them to jump over as a target!

Thinking about this, the British sailors couldn't help but be afraid, how can this be fought? The firepower of the Ming army is too fierce, and it costs human lives to consume, and there are not so many lives!

However, before they could consume the musket ammunition of the Ming army on the deck, the Ming artillery on the bottom had already begun to roar again.

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

The two British battleships that leaned on were riddled with holes at close range, and even because the Ming army's artillery was larger and more powerful, those shells often pierced the current battleships and caused damage to other warships that rushed over.

Either way, this gang fight is completely hopeless.

Not only this one, but several other Ming warships were also seized by the combined fleets of European countries, and the battleships that wanted to jump into the gang were all bombarded by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army.

Seeing this scene, the Portuguese on the shore were immediately relieved and cheered again one by one. They hug, they jump, and let out their inner joy to their heart's content. It turns out that the shortcomings in the Ming fleet are more than enough to deal with the combined fleets of European countries!

At this time, they really understood why the commander of the Ming fleet would be so sure that he would dare to use more than 300 warships against more than 1,000 enemy warships. At this moment, they even believed that even if there were more enemy warships, they would not be able to help the Ming warships.

Needless to say, with Zheng Zhilong's rich experience in naval warfare, how could he be so arrogant that he wanted to fight more with less without support! He's not a young and impulsive man!

At this time, he was watching the battle from the flagship of the Ming fleet. For what is happening in front of him, his expression is indifferent, and he does not have the sense of accomplishment of fighting more with less, defeating the enemy, and winning soon.

"Alas, there is really no accident, it is completely crushed by national strength!" Zheng Zhilong sighed to himself. seems to be complaining, which means that it doesn't reflect his combat level at all!

In his previous era, in order to win the European sail warships, he made a bloody investment, published heroic posts, and invited pirates from the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty to gather in Liuluo Bay, and finally defeated the combined fleet of the Dutch fleet and Liu Xiang's pirate group.

That battle really took him a lot of thought, passion throughout the whole process, and racked his brains for the final victory. Every time I think about it afterwards, I am very proud.

However, in this battle, the Ming Dynasty equipped him with steam ironclad warships, not to mention, the guns on other ships have also been refitted, and they have been replaced with rifled guns, which has improved accuracy and power. Even the sailors on the battleship were equipped with three multi-barreled flintlock pistols, which were an upgraded version of the three-eyed gun.

There are also sailors on the ship, all of whom have to enter the arsenal hall of the division for systematic study, and the quality of the soldiers is not known how much it has improved compared with before!

This is the embodiment of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, if it was changed before, the Ming court was so poor that it was to death, how could it be equipped with such advanced weapons.

Thinking of these, Zheng Zhilong had a conclusion in his heart: although this battle seemed to be commanding and winning the war, in fact, it was all the credit of the Ming Emperor!

He was a little indifferent to the victory, but the commanders of the fleets of the European countries saw this scene, and they were all desperate. Even the gang jumping battle they had high hopes for didn't have the power to fight back against the Ming army, so how could this battle be fought?

At this time, the steam ironclad battleships of the Ming Dynasty had already scuttled through their entire fleet and were turning the corner to prepare for a second round of attacks. Although the other Ming warships were a little slower, they beat the wounded combined warships to the ground. The entire sea was littered with the wreckage of the battleships of the Combined Fleet. The sea is full of sailors struggling to survive.

In this battle alone, the combined fleets of various countries lost at least half. This battle can't be fought anymore.

Since you can't beat it, you can run away.

The first person who came up with this idea was Robert the commander of the British fleet, because Cromwell had told him that Britain was an island country and needed more battleship escorts.

As a result, the British fleet was the first to flee, but by this time it had lost almost half of it.

When the fleets of other countries saw this, they also lost their will to fight, and they all wanted to escape.

But at this time, the Ming fleet has scuttled through the fleets of various countries, which is equivalent to reaching the outermost sea. The fleets of various countries want to escape, and it is not so easy.

Under the command of Zheng Zhilong, the Ming fleet either flanked or pursued, and probably killed and injured about half of the combined fleet. In this battle, the Ming army mostly fired chain bullets, broke the enemy's mast, and left it alone to pursue other warships, anyway, without sails, they couldn't run.

In the process, the steam ironclad battleship came into full swing again. High-precision artillery, not driven by the wind, or propeller propulsion, is much faster than most sail warships, and in the end, the warships of European countries did not dare to run together at all, and scattered into the Atlantic, only to be escaped.

"Wan Sheng!" On the shore, some Portuguese knew what slogans the Ming army would shout after the victory, so they shouted first.

When the other Portuguese heard this, they all shouted one after another, venting their joy to the fullest: "Wan Sheng! ”
