Angelica agreed with Li Nan's plan to go to the Western world, because her father, Edward Edward, the captain of the Queen Anne's Avengers, was very much in favor of her. Tiki is not dying of a serious illness or injury, but is about to be killed in a witch's prophecy.

Angelica believes that as long as Li Nan can go to the West, then with the help and protection of this powerful man, her father will be safe and sound.

The sweet good days of the two didn't last long, and someone came to disturb them, but it wasn't Xiao Qingyan who couldn't see Li Nan making out with women, but a mixed fleet from Spain and Portugal.

Alonso and Simão tried their best to defeat Li Nan this time, not only did they transfer back dozens of the most powerful warships from India, but also coaxed those pirates to charge forward.

The benefits of Asia are so lucrative that each piece of fine silk and porcelain can be repaid hundreds of times more than the benefits of each piece shipped back to their home countries, so Alonso and Simão are already desperate.

If this battle is successful, Alonso and Simão will be the heroes of the country, and they will be embraced and loved by their people, and the king will award them decorations.

But if it fails, it goes without saying that the political lives of the two men will be over, and what awaits them will be impeachment, trial, and even death.

Twenty-three corsairs and forty Royal Navy warships were assembled in Banda Aceh, which was almost the main force of the Portuguese and Spanish navies in India.

Picking a sunny day, the mixed fleets of the two countries began to sail towards Singapore, and this time they intended to completely defeat Li Nan's pirate fleet.

At the head of the fleet, naturally, were those pirate ships. These pirates are the most annoying existence of governments, so it is only fitting to use them as bait to attract enemy fire.

Forty well-armed Royal Navy warships lined up in several groups of Yanling-type formations, following behind the pirate ships, as long as the two sides engaged, then they could adjust the course and angle as quickly as possible, and give the enemy a fierce attack.

The location of this battle was not chosen by Alonso and Simao, because Li Nan's fleet had been holding on to the port of Singapore and the nearby strait, which could stop all ships coming and going.

Li Nan had long expected that the West would attack him, and these guys, who were accustomed to knocking on the doors of various countries with artillery, were obviously not used to doing normal trade.

At this moment, Li Nan also took out all the manpower he could muster, and thousands of large and small ships were moored on the sea, waiting for the arrival of the Westerner fleet.

When the pirate ship, the vanguard of the Western fleet, arrived on the battlefield, all the pirates were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Thousands of ships, which were rarely seen in their country, but when they saw the size of each other's ships, the pirates laughed.

Li Nan's mixed fleet is large enough, but it is indeed a little ugly, only his flagship Sea King and more than fifty Fu ships look good, and the rest are ultra-small net shuttle ships that can only be carried by a few people, light chain ships, sub-mother ships, Cangshan ships, and so on.

Seeing the dense boats in the distant sea area from the monoculars, Simão asked with a smile: "General Alonso, when you were at the Maritime Academy, did you hear of this kind of combat formation and method?" ”

"No, no, no!" Alonso shook his head repeatedly: "I can swear to God, no one has ever seen this kind of formation, it looks like we are making a bit of a fuss, and the pirate king of Asia, Li Nan, is no different from those stupid natives." ”

Regardless of the strength of the enemy, they still have to fight in the end, so Simão and Alonso gave orders to their respective ships, and the fleet lowered its sails to slow down, adjust its angles, and put on an attack formation.

Alonso and Simão looked down on Li Nan's mixed fleet, and even more so the pirates, so they rushed out more than twenty pirate ships without waiting for their own commander to order.

No sooner had the "Boom Boom ......" reached range than the new guns on the Corsair ship fired.

The dense artillery fire set off the waves, and although the distance was a little far, there were too many small boats in Li Nan's fleet, so some were still hit.

The solid shells of this era were not very powerful, but if they were hit several times, the wooden ships would also be blown apart.

In the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Western corsairs, the small ships of Li Nan's fleet were not afraid, but rushed over as fast as they could.

Hundreds of small boats flocked to the scene, and the Spanish pirate Captain Pedro, who had come to Asia to make a fortune, looked at the sea in front of him in confusion, and said to himself in confusion: "What is the enemy doing here?" Consume our shells or want to sink our big ships with these small boats? ”

In fact, it is no wonder that these Westerners are so confused, after all, compared with China, the population of the West is too small, and they have never seen this kind of warfare.

When the small warships of Li Nan's fleet approached within 100 meters, all the warships began to burn, and with the help of the sea breeze, the small ships loaded with flammable materials burned extremely fiercely, and at this moment, those Westerners also knew the enemy's intentions.

That's right, it's a fire attack!

"Raise the sails! Turn the rudder! "All the pirate captains were shouting desperately to avoid these fireships, but it was too late, and the tips of these small burning ships had sharp spikes, which would be firmly nailed to them as long as they hit the enemy ships with their momentum, and soon each pirate ship was surrounded by several burning fireships.

Westerners don't know about the existence of zombies, so they can't understand how so many people under Li Nan's command would volunteer to drive a fireboat to their deaths.

Panicked pirates splashed muskets, spears and water on these suicidal fireships.

Less than 300 small fireships set fire to more than 20 Western pirate ships, and looking at the pirates who kept jumping into the sea and abandoning ships, Alonso and Simão had long lost the smiles on their faces.

After getting rid of these pirate ships that were used as bait, Li Nan, who was standing on the deck, waved his hand and ordered: "According to the original plan, the whole army will attack!" ”

Li Nan's flagship, the Sea King, and dozens of Fu ships similar to the size of Western warships began to approach forward, and in front of these large ships were thousands of small ships that were moving extremely fast and could burn at any time.

Both Asolon and Simão were now in a dilemma, should they retreat or try to attack the enemy with the ship's artillery?

Asolon and Simao, who had returned to their own flagships, glanced at each other, and the glory of being soldiers made them make the same choice, which was to fight!

"Turn the rudder!"

"Prepare the artillery!"

With a shout, the forty naval warships all turned their hulls sideways, revealing more than 20 guns on the side of the ship.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and finally the commander's order came from both flagships: "Fire!" ”

"Fire ......"

These Portuguese and Spanish naval warships were equipped with forty-eight guns, and there were twenty-four guns on one side of the ship, and when the forty warships fired together, the scene was also very spectacular.

In the roaring artillery fire, the small boat in front of Li Nan's flagship disappeared a lot, but he didn't pay attention to this loss at all.

Although Li Nan had experienced a lot of battles, he was not good at naval warfare, and if he really relied on his command ability to fight against the combined Portuguese and Spanish fleets, it was estimated that the consequences would not be good.

Therefore, Li Nan gave up those subtle operations and command skills, and directly used the simplest and crude methods to fight.

Li Nan, who now controls the entire Southeast Asian seas, has too many resources to obtain, so whether it is these small boats or the zombies on board, they are all disposable items that can be consumed.
