Volume 8 Chapter 277 was attacked
Zhang Bin held the binoculars, looking at the gradually dense exotic buildings on the shore, and couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face, it has been more than three months, and he is finally about to reach his destination, after being adrift at sea for so long, he can finally set foot on land and rest for a few days.
The journey can be said to be quite smooth, on the way they did not encounter the fleets of the anti-Habsburg coalition powers, at most they encountered some groups of armed merchant ships, people saw their terrifying lineup is basically frightened to hide to the side and dare not move, no one dares to come up to inquire, let alone block it.
They had encountered a few terrifying sea storms, but because the entire fleet was along the coastline, and the steamships were relatively fast and not affected by the direction of the wind, they were able to enter the sheltered harbor in time every time, and they did not suffer any losses.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is not far ahead, and I wonder how the King of Portugal will react to his arrival?
While he was thinking about what kind of etiquette to use when meeting the King of Portugal, there was a sudden sharp whistle from the lookout.
, there is no mistake, enemy attack!
Who would dare to attack such a huge fleet, could it be that the anti-Habsburg allied powers organized a combined fleet to block themselves?
It's unlikely, my side is full of steamers, and I don't know how much faster than the sailing ships, and it's impossible for the sailing ships to run in front of them to report the news, how can people organize a combined fleet to block themselves, and I'm afraid that the anti-Habsburg coalition powers won't know that they have led their fleets to the European continent.
Could it be that the powers of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance happened to organize a combined fleet to attack Portugal or Spain?
Zhang Bin really couldn't understand who had eaten the leopard's gall and dared to attack his own fleet.
He looked up in the direction the flagbearer on the lookout was pointing, then raised his binoculars and looked over.
There was no huge enemy fleet in the sea ahead, only a clipper ship speeding towards our own fleet.
Isn't this a light ironclad sent by itself to inform the King of Portugal?
He took a closer look at the light ironclad and frowned.
It turned out that it was not the enemy's fleet that came to attack its own fleet, but that this light ironclad ship was attacked, and several pieces of ironclad on it were obviously shattered, and it must have been smashed by shells!
What does that mean?
He put down his binoculars with a somewhat gloomy face, turned his head to Schwila behind him and said, "You Portugal really want to ally with our Ming Empire?" ”
When Svera saw him like this, he nodded in fright and said, "Really, how can the letter written to me by His Majesty the King himself be fake!" ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, he handed him the telescope and said coldly: "Then what's going on?" ”
When Shi Vera heard this, he hurriedly took the telescope and looked forward, and when he saw it, he was suddenly stunned, who would dare to shoot at the warships of the Ming Empire!
He slowly put down the binoculars and explained with an ugly face: "Your Royal Highness, this should not have been done by our people, the liaison officer I sent was also on the ship, how could our people fire at their own people?" ”
This is true, how can people fire at their own people, Zhang Bin thought about it, and simply ordered: "Order, all warships stop advancing." ”
I don't know what the situation is at this time, but I don't dare to rush into the port of Lisbon, if Lisbon is occupied by others, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss if he rushes in so recklessly.
Soon, the entire fleet slowly stopped, and the light ironclad ship also approached the flagship.
After a while, the general interpreter of the Ministry of Rites, who had been sent to inform the King of Portugal, hurried to the top floor of the flagship with Svera's entourage and said to Zhang Bin: "Grandpa Qiguo, we were attacked by British warships at the entrance to the port of Lisbon. ”
British battleships?
What's going on, is Lisbon occupied by the British!
When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but look at Shi Vera with a puzzled face.
Schwila asked the entourage a few words urgently, and then explained: "Your Royal Highness, it seems that the British have blocked the entrance to the port of Lisbon. ”
What the hell is going on here?
Zhang Bin said angrily: "Do you have a bad relationship with the British, why did they come to block the entrance to the port of Lisbon?" ”
Schwila hurriedly explained: "We have a good relationship with the British, and the British are willing to help us among the anti-Habsburg coalition powers, but their offer is too high for us to accept." ”
Will you blockade other people's ports if the talks collapse?
These fucking powers, are they really arrogant, Zhang Bin said impatiently: "How many warships do they have?" ”
Schvera asked carefully, and then estimated: "They seem to have only a few super battleships, but there are dozens of armed merchant ships." ”
"Hmph", just a few super battleships dared to be arrogant in front of Lao Tzu, Zhang Bin thought about it, and then ordered coldly: "Order, order Nanyang Hou to lead two hundred Weiyuan battleships to the front, warn the British, let them get out of the way, if they don't get out of the way, they will open fire, and bombard it!" ”
Zhang Bin doesn't want to fight to the death with the powers, but for these powers, you can't blindly be humble, if there is no conflict, it's okay to be humble, once the two sides clash, you must not be polite, as soon as you are polite, they will have to inch in.
Just right, give them a dismount, let them see the strength of the Ming Empire!
The herald quickly conveyed the order to Zheng Zhilong, and the entire fleet began to change formation, and the two hundred Weiyuan battleships that had originally protected the handsome ship in the middle quickly lined up to the front, and soon formed two long lines more than ten miles long, rushing forward side by side, while the other Zhenyuan cruisers and light ironclad ships lined up in a circle, escorting the handsome ships to follow closely behind.
At this time, the British did not know that they were in trouble, they had been blockading the port of Lisbon for several days, and the ships of various countries were very knowledgeable and did not come to touch their moldy heads, but today there was a strange ship that did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on entering the port of Lisbon, and they naturally opened fire unceremoniously.
However, to their surprise, the ship was hit by several shells, but instead of being sunk, it quickly turned around and ran!
This is really puzzling, according to the size of that ship, let alone a few shells, one shell down, can hit the cross, why is there nothing after the boat has been hit by a few shells?
A group of British naval officers and men were discussing this strange thing, and two long dragons suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, this time, it was not a small ship, but a huge ship, each of which was bigger than their super battleship!
Is this a small one and a big one?
The British naval officers were dumbfounded, which country's fleet is this, they have never seen the flag on the battleship!
This can't be blamed for their loneliness, because the fleet of the Ming Naval Division has never been to the European continent, and the British have not yet begun to develop to the Far East, they are invading the American continent at this time, the warships of the Ming Empire, they have never encountered them at all, how can they recognize them.
