Zheng Yiguan's flagship was badly damaged, and when it staggered with the Ceuta, it immediately turned away from the battle.

The remaining warships had to fire several shots each as they passed the Ceuta, and one of the three warships of the Ganlasi people, the 420-ton Ceuta, was broken up by the Changxing army in just one round and turned into a pile of broken wood floating on the sea.

Rodriguez looked at the Ceuta as it disappeared into the sea, dumbfounded, and kept repeating the phrase: "How is that possible?" How can it be? ……”

The other armed merchant ships were frightened, they were not sturdy warships. The thin planks of the ship may fall apart in a few clicks, and they have avoided the battle line of the Changxing army.

For a time, the formation of the dry silk people on the sea was in chaos, and the eight warships of the Changxing army smashed into the fleet of the dry silk people from the flanks and bombarded the thin-skinned armed merchant ships.

When Zheng Zhibao came to the bottom of the killer whale battleship, the water here was knee-high. More than a dozen sailors were pumping water with all their might, and some sailors were clinging to the planks wrapped in quilts and rushing towards the cracks that sprayed water.

"Let me come!" Zheng Zhibao snatched the plank from the sailor's arms and rushed towards one of the largest cracks. One of the sailors was knocked down by the water that shot out of the crack, and the sea water gushed into it like a high-pressure pump.

Zheng Zhibao held the plank in front of him, and the continuous burst of water from the crack made it almost impossible for him to move.

Thinking of the eldest brother's entrustment, Zheng Zhibao roared: "Ah! The muscles bulged all over his body, and he took a strong step forward under his feet.

This step almost exhausted all his strength, and his body leaned forward to fight against the sea with all his might.

"Third master! Brother is here to help you! A sailor was behind Zheng Zhibao, and the strength of the two finally allowed Zheng Zhibao to stabilize his figure. He took a deep breath and took another step.

Seeing that this method worked, the other sailors came up behind Zheng Zhibao and pushed him forward.

One-step, two-step, three-step...... It was close, and in the end, Zheng Zhibao used the strength of everyone to block the wooden board in his hand on the crack with all his strength.

The sailors who had been preparing the ship picked up their sledgehammers and smashed the nails into the planks. More than a dozen ship nails were smashed in, and the planks were finally nailed into the cracks.

Although there is still seawater seeping out, it is no longer a big problem. Looking at the pumping can restore the battleship, and the other cracks are relatively small and can be easily blocked by sailors.

The thigh-high seawater was constantly pumped out of the cabin, and the faces of the sailors in the bottom cabin were smiling. It was their efforts that kept the battleship unsinkable, and some cheered loudly.

Zheng Zhibao even sat in the seawater, and the plugging just now made him use up all the strength in his body. Collapsed, he ignored the coldness of the sea and gasped for air.

Half an hour later, Zheng Yiguan finally got the good news that the water leak on the battleship had been plugged and he could continue to participate in the battle.

At this moment, there is no formation on the sea, and there are Changxing warships everywhere chasing and killing the Ganlasi people.

The Toledo, the flagship of the Dry Wax Crews, had been shot in several places, and even the mainmast had been discounted. He dragged his injured body and rushed towards Zheng Yiguan, with the momentum of dying together.

Rodriguez knew from the moment the Ceuta was smashed to pieces that the Dry Wax Man had lost the naval battle.

It was difficult for the enemy's firepower to bargain even if he was not underestimated, and when he personally faced the Sea Shark battleship, which was one size smaller, he realized the power of the Changxing Army's Chuyang Cannon.

The power of close range made Rodriguez despair. In his mind, artillery of this caliber should not have been on a ship at all. The terrifying weight, as well as the recoil when launched, is something that no battleship can bear.

But the opponent did it, watching the tail tower be destroyed by the opponent's bombardment. Rodriguez gave the flotilla a free breakout, and his Toledo and Alcalá were the focus of the enemy, but the other armed merchant ships had any hope of escaping.

As soon as the order was given, the panicked dry wax people immediately scattered and fled. They never wanted to exchange fire with such a terrible enemy, and three ships had already been sunk in that moment.

At this time, if you don't run, you will be in danger of being wiped out, and Rodriguez commands the flagship Toledo to rush towards Zheng Yiguan's killer whale battleship.

The experienced Rodriguez knew at a glance that this was the enemy's flagship, having just been hit near the waterline during the confrontation with the Ceuta, and was probably busy plugging the leak and repairing the battleship.

If you can seize the opportunity to sink the opponent's flagship, more armed merchant ships will escape. Even if you can't sink them, they will still attract enemies to come to their rescue.

There was no doubt that Rodriguez's strategy was successful, and when the Changxing army saw that he had attacked the flagship, four warships immediately rushed up to intercept it.

Rodriguez commanded the Toledo, which was nimble like a loach, and approached Zheng Yiguan under the siege and interception of the Changxing army.

Zheng Yiguan looked at the dried silk man who rushed up and sneered. Ordered: "Left full rudder, take the upper hand!" ”

The killer whale moved immediately, drawing a perfect arc across the sea to gain the upper hand and be in a T-shaped position.

The Orca battleship, which faced the enemy with one side intact, began shelling at a distance of two miles. The whistling of 24-pounder and 18-pounder guns echoed across the sea, and shells whizzed towards the Toledo.

The Orca Battleship's preemption of the upper hand made Rodriguez nervous, but the Changxing Army chasing after him let go of the heart he had been carrying.

The moment the cannonball hit, Rodriguez could only rush hard. At this moment, whether to the left or to the right, a large area of the side will be exposed to give the enemy a chance to attack.

So instead of slowing down, the Toledo spread all its sails and rushed up with the help of a tailwind.

He was going to ram the side of the orca battleship with the hard bow of the ship, and if he succeeded, he would die with the enemy.

Although Rodriguez planned well, he underestimated the capabilities of the gunners of the Changxing Army. Before entering a mile, the bow of the Toledo had already been hit by two shells.

The entire bow of the ship was almost knocked away, and the statue of the captain of the bow there was torn apart and disappeared, and a large hole was punched in the bow.

Even the deck inside could be seen clearly, the keel of the Toledo had been damaged, and more of it was already leaking, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

No sooner had the Toledo entered the first mile than a 48-pounder early sun cannon hit the bow of the ship. The shell smashed into the shattered bow of the ship, smashed two more decks, and made a large hole in the bottom compartment.

The raging sea water suddenly poured into the cabin, and the Toledo, which had been rushing forward, suddenly sank downward.

The whole bow of the ship plunged into the sea, and the whole ship slowly stood up. Then, in an astonishing sound of tooth-aching wood cracking, it broke into two sections and smashed to the sea, making a "Bang!" There was a loud bang.
