Chapter 605: Fate

Soldiers, treacherous!

In large-scale offensive and defensive battles, Ye Xun never advocated a hard fight against Maimang, the enemy's casualties had nothing to do with Ye Xun, but the lives of the Han people were the most precious place, so Ye Xun would definitely avoid it if he could avoid his own soldiers from charging into battle.

It's a pity that the arsenal hasn't developed a real mine yet, otherwise the effect of this battle will be better, and the next step will also be taken as a main subject, and after going back, the arsenal will be ordered to speed up the development.

The explosions in the Spanish battleships continued, and the battleships in front had no time to come back to help, so they could only face the battle.

Come up with ideas, when there is a real naval battle, Ye Xun will have to step aside.

Tian Siqing was at the helm himself, and at the same time, he kept issuing orders in his mouth.

"Cloth crab formation, Changshan and Zhenyuan are the two ships, don't entangle first, let the flagship of the red-haired ghost go, go in a zigzag..."

As Tian Siqing's orders were passed down one by one, the soldiers behind kept waving flags to the heralds on the mast, and the heralds conveyed the orders to the other ships in the form of flags.

"Boom..."

With the approach of the warships of the two armies, the war finally began, and other warships are good to say, the No. 1 Ye Gongbao ship launched Weilai, and only then did people really know what it means to be overwhelming.

There are more than 20 gun ports on the side of the treasure ship, and a salvo is almost equal to two rounds of fire from the Spanish battleship, and the artillery has a long range and high accuracy, and the shells are still the most powerful blasting shells, as long as they are hit, they are not good.

In the rumbling of cannons, the shells fired by the Ming battleships rained down on the Spanish battleships, which had just entered the effective range of their own guns.

At this time, James had no time to take care of the battleship behind him, these Ming Dynasty people were so hateful, couldn't they fight with real swords and guns?

James has already seen that even if his fleet is all pressed, he may not be able to beat this Ming fleet, not to mention that nearly half of the warships have been made ineffective by the Ming army, so it can be said that there is basically no suspense in this battle.

But he was in the Royal Spanish Navy, and he wanted to fight for honor, and he couldn't fight and surrender.

It seems that in the hearts of foreign devils, the mind of preferring jade to be broken rather than complete does not exist at all.

In the midst of the earth-shattering artillery fire, the entire sea area was soon shrouded in smoke.

This kind of ancient naval warfare is almost always fought with side-chord guns, but unlike treasure ships, the huge hull also gives it enough space to install guns, and even the bow and stern are used, not only that, but the guns in the bow and stern are more powerful and have a longer range than the guns in the cabin, and the only drawback is that the reload time is slower.

But even so, it still posed a great threat to James's fleet, because the Ming army's giant was almost all-round, evading the sidestring guns, and always had to guard against the main guns in the bow and stern.

In the first round of exchanges, five Spanish battleships were hit again, two of them were seriously damaged, and after the explosion, the hull of the ship had begun to tilt, and the crew on it also began to look for life-saving tools to jump into the sea to escape.

There were also several warships on the Ming side that were damaged to varying degrees, but the Ming army had many warships and could afford the losses.

The damaged ships immediately made a detour out of the battle circle, and after the positions were filled by other ships, the officers and men on the ships began to put out the fire and repair the ships.

After a round of engagement, the losses to the Ming fleet were almost negligible, and under normal circumstances, the two fleets would cross each other, go around each other, and then engage in the next round of battle.

At this time, a scene that Ye Xun and Tian Siqing did not expect appeared, only to see the remnants of the Spanish warship suddenly split into two.

A white flag suddenly flew on James' flagship, the Dreadnought, while the other ships fled at full speed to the open sea.

"What is this for?"

Ye Xun and Tian Siqing couldn't help but look at each other, it stands to reason that the boss surrendered, and his subordinates should also surrender, what is the situation now? Why did you leave the coach and run away?

Ye Xun looked at the Intrepid through the clairvoyant mirror, but saw that the soldiers and crew had already poured onto the deck, except for the white flags fluttering high on the mast, and the sails were being withdrawn one after another.

"I want to play yin with Lao Tzu!"

A sneer flashed at the corner of Ye Xun's mouth, and he ordered without looking back: "The treasure ship anchored to accept surrender, and the other warships pursued the enemy ship as planned."

After Tian Siqing conveyed Ye Xun's order, he turned to Ye Xun's side and asked, "Father-in-law, you said they want to play tricks?" ”

"Hey, hey! James is not a little bold, he should still be fighting the idea of the treasure ship, telling the brothers to get ready, there is no need to talk to them about the morality of the rivers and lakes, but the artillery is not necessary, this ship is good, keep it for us to use"

Hearing Ye Xun say this, Tian Siqing suddenly understood, turned his head and commanded loudly: "Brothers, get ready, the red-haired ghost wants to play a trick of deception, and after leaning over for a while, they will all greet Lao Tzu to death, you, and you, all fucking hide first, carrying a big knife and pestle there, who would dare to come up..."

Ye Xun is now about to become a roundworm in James's stomach, he can't beat it, it's too embarrassing to run, in a hurry, James finally came up with a plan to break the boat, that is, to pretend to surrender, and then seize the treasure ship of the Ming army by surprise, and only in this way, maybe there is a chance to turn defeat into victory.

It was a little different from what James thought, the treasure ship that made him blush stopped, but the other Ming warships did not let go of their men because of his surrender.

However, the plan is that this thing will change at any time, and as long as the main battleships of the Ming army can be captured, it is worth losing a dozen battleships.

James saw many Han Chinese in Luzon, and he had the impression that the physical fitness of the Han people could not be compared with those of Westerners, so he was sure that he could defeat the Ming army in hand-to-hand combat.

The ignorant are fearless, and this phrase is appropriate for anyone.

The treasure ship had dropped anchor, and the Dreadnought was quickly approaching.

Looking at the treasure ship getting closer and closer, James seemed to see prey, and his eyes flashed blue light.

There are not many Ming soldiers on the deck of the treasure ship, they should all be in the cabin on the bottom floor, and it is impossible for such a large ship to rely only on sails.

In order to facilitate the connection, the gun muzzles on the treasure ship have all been closed, James saw that the two ships were about to dock, and with a big hand, he was ready to order his subordinates to board the ship, and suddenly there seemed to be a black shadow flashing in front of him, and he looked at it, but he saw that a young man wearing Ming Dynasty clothes and smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him.

James thought he was dazzled, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, there was really one more Ming Dynasty person in front of him.

I just wanted to ask who you are and how did you come up? Before the words could be spoken, there was a sudden sound of bangs on the Ming warship.

Although James's eyes were fixed on the young man in front of him, he still saw countless human heads suddenly appearing on the treasure ship, followed by a rain of arrows.

The Spanish soldiers and sailors were ready to pedal the ship, but the treasure ship was much higher than the Dreadnought, and they had to wait for the Dreadnought to be fully attached before they could throw a flying claw or something.

But now, before it could be completely attached, the Ming army launched a surprise attack, and the unsuspecting Spaniards were immediately killed and wounded, and screams rang out one after another...
