However, this was not the end of the story, as the Ming battleship used blasting shells, and the fire of the shells also ignited the gunpowder and shell magazine on the French battleship.

"Boom!" An even greater explosion was born, and an even greater burst of fire completely enveloped the battered French battleship.

The remaining half of the hull was almost shattered and disintegrated by this powerful explosion in an instant.

With a bang, the wreckage of the French battleship sank to the bottom of the sea in the shock of the ships of the Combined Fleet.

Their shock was not over, and it was only six breaths apart that two Ming battleships opened fire again, and another forty-nine shells flew towards a Portuguese battleship that had already hit one shell just now.

"Boom Boom" was accompanied by a column of water at the surrounding sea level, and the Portuguese battleship was hit by three shells at the same time.

However, this time, the Portuguese battleship did not detonate like the French battleship, counting the one that had been hit just now, it only hit four, although the Portuguese battleship had been heavily damaged, lost its combat effectiveness, and the hull was slightly tilted, but there were no signs of sinking immediately.

On the command ship of the two Ming warships, Lin Chong gritted his teeth and stared at the unsunken battleship belonging to Portugal.

"General, that barbarian warship hasn't sunk yet, do you want to continue shelling it!" A Navy soldier hurriedly asked.

"No need, aim at the other one!" Lin Chong immediately decided.

"Yes, General!" The flag soldiers on the command ship quickly waved the flag to another Ming battleship.

Immediately, the forty-nine cannons on the two battleships quickly moved their muzzles and aimed at another European Combined Fleet battleship, the same one that had already been hit by a shell.

Lin Chong's decision is undoubtedly correct, maybe if they shell again, the European Combined Fleet battleship that has been heavily damaged and has lost its combat effectiveness will undoubtedly sink, but their time is running out, instead of sinking another European Combined Fleet battleship that has been heavily damaged and lost its combat effectiveness, it is better to aim at another European Combined Fleet battleship that is still combat-effective.

After this meeting, the two Ming warships had sailed to a distance of 2,600 meters.

"Boom, boom, boom" The two Ming warships fired their guns for the fourth time.

This time, the Ming naval soldiers on the two battleships swung frequently, and even five shells hit a British battleship at the same time.

The British battleship, which had also been hit by one shell, was now hit by five shells almost simultaneously.

The explosion of the distance, and the entire British battleship was enveloped in flames.

"Boom!" Most of the wooden hull was shattered.

"Ah" many British sailors were killed and wounded.

"Whoa!" Along with more than a dozen cannons, the bodies of a large number of wounded British sailors and dead British sailors were thrown into the sea, and large swaths of the sea were stained red with the corpses.

Although the British battleship did not produce a martyrdom, it was inevitably a massive tilt of the hull and slowly began to sink.

"Nope! God," roared the British fleet commander as he watched his sunken battleship.

He combined hundreds of warships in his fleet here, but it was a great shame that he even let three warships of the other side sink two in succession and seriously injure one.

"The Dutch are really a waste, after so many rounds of shelling, why haven't they sunk three Ming warships!" The commander-in-chief of the British fleet scolded.

Every battleship is money, not to mention the hull itself, the dozens of cannons on board are worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, just because the Dutch have not sunk three Ming battleships several times and lost in vain.

In fact, the commander-in-chief of the British fleet misunderstood the Dutch.

In fact, the Dutch have been training a lot since they built the 4,000-meter class of warships.

However, the range of the Dutch-class battleship may be very long, but the weight of the cannon is too heavy, it is extremely difficult to adjust the muzzle, and it is naturally extremely difficult to aim, and because they are all pound guns filled with loose gunpowder, more loading, or less loading a little gunpowder, there will be deviations, all aspects are combined, so that the accuracy of the Dutch four-thousand-meter class battleship is extremely low, basically aimed at the approximate area and fired indiscriminately, which is why every round of shelling is thousands of shells, but each round is only a few, and ten shells hit the Ming warship.

Rushing

Finally, the Dutch battleship once again rotated its hull, and the cannon on the other side, which had not yet been fired, completely rotated and aimed at the two Ming warships.

"Boom boom" The Dutch ignited the fuse and the cannon was ejected.

More than 1,300 shells covered a radius of several hundred meters from the two Ming warships.

At this last moment, the two Ming warships also fired again.

Nearly fifty shells flew towards one of the combined fleet ships, which were also the same ships that had already been hit by a bullet and belonged to the Holy Roman Empire.

However, in the end, it was the shells of the Dutch-class battleships that fell on the bows of the two Daming battleships first.

"Bang! Boom! "Bang" cannonballs like rain hit the sea, blowing up columns of seawater.

With a bang, the sea water from the explosion was dumped on the decks of the two Ming warships, drenching all the Ming naval soldiers on board.

"Click!"

"Click! Rumble!! ”

On the command ship where Lin Chong was located, two masts were broken and smashed on the deck, and three more shells hit the deck and the side of the ship, directly punching several large holes in the hull of the warship.

Another Ming battleship was even worse, directly hit by six 22-pound solid bullets. Half of the hull was shattered, two large holes were punched in the bottom of the ship, and the sea poured in, and the battleship leaned backwards for a moment, and slowly sank into the cold water.

"Boom Boom"

At the same time that the second battleship of the Ming Dynasty was sunk, on the side of the European Combined Fleet, the battleship of the Holy Roman Empire was also sunk by a wave of shells from the two Ming battleships before they died.

At this point, three warships of the European Combined Fleet were sunk and one was seriously damaged.

However, it was not completely over, and there was still a Ming battleship that struggled not to be sunk.

Lin Chong, who was covered in injuries, climbed up with difficulty holding on to a broken mast, and now he was the only battleship left.

Lin Chong glanced around, nearly half of the cannons on the battleship were destroyed, and nearly half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and now there were about ten cannons left.

"Keep going, fire!" Lin Chong yelled.

The other Ming Navy soldiers who were knocked down also quickly got up and continued to operate the cannons.

Bang! Open the breech of the cannon, release the shell casing, stuff it with new shells.

Although the only remaining Ming warship suffered heavy damage, the hull was slightly tilted, and the degree of advance was greatly reduced, but it was still stubbornly rushing towards the combined fleet of eight European countries.

"Boom Boom" has reached a distance of about 2,200 meters.

Eighteen cannons, and only one shell hit the battleships of the combined fleets in this round.

It was a Dutch battleship, and the shells threw four Dutch soldiers and two cannons off the sea.

"There is even one Ming warship left!" The faces of the commanders of the European Combined Fleet were not good-looking, and they all felt that the Dutch were beginning to decline, and seventy battleships fired at the same time, but they did not sink three Ming battleships in four rounds, and let one heavily damaged Ming battleship continue to fire.

The commanders of the fleets of the other countries roared angrily.

"Prepare to fire!" Many warships of various countries sailing in front were moving the muzzles of some of the cannons.

This is one of the few sixteen-pounder guns on the warships of various countries.

At a distance of 2,200 meters, completely within the range of the sixteen-pounder guns, it is obvious that the fleets of various countries have no patience to continue to wait for the next round of gunfire from the Dutch-class battleships.

Soon, at least 300 sixteen-pounder guns on the front battleship were aimed at the last Ming battleship 2,200 meters away.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom" These sixteen-pounder guns with their muzzles adjusted have fired.

The cannonball crossed a distance of 2,200 meters and flew quickly towards Lin Chong, the heavily damaged Ming warship.

In this last one, the eyes of the remaining Ming Navy soldiers on the battleship widened.

"Fire!" Before the combined fleet's shells fell, Lin Chong also roared.

"Boom Boom" The only remaining Ming battleship also fired the last wave, eighteen shells, before more than 300 sixteen-pounder shells fell from the Combined Fleet.

"Bang! Boom! "Hundreds of columns of sea water were blown up.

The Combine's sixteen-pounder guns were far more accurate than the Dutch's four-thousand-meter guns.

Eight sixteen-pounder shells hit Lin Chong, the only remaining Ming battleship.

The world of the battleship's hull was torn apart, and the hull began to disintegrate while slowly sinking into the sea.

Before the battleship sank completely, Lin Chong burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, the main force of my Ming fleet is coming, they will avenge us, let you and others all die" The sea water finally submerged Lin Chong, and did not let Lin Chong finish all his words.

In terms of the European Combined Fleet, before the Ming battleship commanded by Lin Chong was sunk, two of the eighteen shells fired desperately also hit the Dutch battleship just now.

Counting the one just hit, the Dutch battleship was hit by three powerful high-explosive shells, and although it did not sink, it was also heavily damaged.

At this point, a skirmish naval battle ended.

At the cost of the total annihilation of three Shenwei-class warships, the Ming sank a French warship, a British warship, a Holy Roman Empire warship, and severely damaged a Portuguese warship and a Dutch warship.
