The Portuguese fleet was still lined up in two columns, and at a 45-degree angle to the left, it went straight to the Ming fleet, trying to crush them in one fell swoop while they had just changed their battle formation. The first fleet has been changed to a goose wing shape into a long snake formation. The second column is slowly adjusting its angle to connect with the first column to form a parallel naval artillery strike camp.

Adney stood on the bow of the handsome ship, and immediately discovered their true intentions from the actions of the Portuguese fleet, and the Ming warships, which were withdrawing from the fire array in a flat U-shape, immediately adjusted their angles, and the two sides drove parallel to the left through the burning fireships in the middle, and at the same time began to fire at each other's naval guns.

When the entire fleet sailed away from the fireship area, nearly 40 warships on both sides fired more than 6,000 shells, but the damage caused was minimal, and the fleets of both sides seemed to be completely unaffected.

Because they are too far apart, nearly 500 meters away, if a soldier runs on foot, it will not take much time, but the cannonball has lost most of its lethality when it falls from such a distance, at most it can be regarded as an iron ball falling from the sky, and even the deck may not be able to smash it.

"Bite them!" Ezeger noticed that the twenty Ming warships were all five-masted giants, well-equipped with firearms, and that they were definitely the main warships of the Ming army, so he ordered the fleet to chase after them.

After a fierce exchange of fire, all the ammunition on the deck was surrendered on both sides, and the quartermasters were hurrying out of the ammunition compartment with an intermittent phase on both sides.

The Ming army mobilized a large number of warships from north to south, among which there should be at least fifty heavy warships that can be called heavy warships, and it will never stop at the fleet in front of him.

But there was no shadow of any other ships on the sea level, perhaps because the Ming army's dispatch and command had their own considerations, or they did not dare to make a desperate bet and put all the warships into it. But no matter what, if you can take the opportunity to destroy the combat effectiveness of this fleet, then you will no longer have to worry about what threat the Ming army naval division will pose.

The sails were full of the sea breeze, and the ship began to accelerate, and the stirred up waves "thumped" against the bottom of the ship, and the ship almost jumped forward on the head of the waves. In fact, fighting at sea is by no means like fighting on land, and in the event of a decisive battle between large groups, the two sides can concentrate their manpower and material resources, choose a suitable location, and decide the outcome in one battle.

Due to the special conditions of the sea, the influence of sea breeze and sea fog, it is not uncommon for the two fleets to circulate at sea for half a month. However, the current financial situation of the Ming court could not support the huge naval division to gather in the South China Sea for war, so how could Ezeg's navy be delayed?

Even if the issue of supplies is not considered, but the transfer of all the Indian Ocean Navy to the Far East, this 'empty city plan' can only be played for a while, once Spain and other countries know the truth, who knows that they will not take advantage of the situation? All kinds of factors made Ezegg also eager to fight, and the experienced veteran also entered the team.

After chasing for half an hour, Ezeg's patience gradually disappeared, he couldn't stay away from Manraka, and the soldiers left behind were so few that the Ming Dynasty sent a boatload of aunts with brooms could sweep him all into the sea, and he had to rush back.

Ezeger was about to give the order to return to the division, but at this time the Ming fleet also slowed down, because they fled in front, the formation was a little scattered, and the attack formation needed to be rearranged. Aizeg was overjoyed, and the Ming army also lost its surname. It's like a game of hunting, whoever can't hold their breath first will fall into the trap of the other party.

The words "return to the teacher" rushed to the lips, but they became "rush over, pass through them".

Ezeger noticed that the Ming army was in a scattered formation, and if he quickly approached, the guns of the battleships on both sides of the Ming army would be blocked by his own warships, and although his move was a bit risky, he could fire the guns on both sides at the same time.

Once a close stalemate is formed, with the number of warships and the number of navies more than ten more than the opponent, they can also jump in hand-to-hand combat, and maybe they can not only destroy this Ming army, but also capture their warships and artillery to make up for the losses caused by the fireships.

The traps are set one by one, which is set by Adney, who is familiar with the fighting habits of the Portuguese army, Cheng Qiyun, who is familiar with the psychology of the characters, Peng Shark, who is begging for a living in the midst of deceit, and the senior generals of the navy and army who are familiar with the art of war, and Yang Ling, who is ignorant and knows his brain, which seems to be not very bright, but often has bold and bizarre ideas, and seems to know little about history.

In today's terms, it was a perfect plan made by a super spy, a psychologist, a conspirator, a group of military strategists and half a political 'genius'.

Ezegg commanded the battleship to rush up, and sure enough, he immediately halved all the Ming battleships, and the guns on both sides roared angrily, and Ezegg continued to give orders in a trembling on the deck: "The Giant, the Lion, and the Count follow my ship forward, completely cut off the connection between the two wings of enemy ships, and do not allow them to converge."

"The 'Storm' led the fleet to support each other from a vantage point, broke the masts of the enemy ships with chain bullets, jumped into hand-to-hand combat, and the six battleships in the tail were led by the 'Dreadnought' to the left and right."

The methodical order was abruptly halted, and Ezeg's mouth opened and closed, and his jaw fell in surprise. The Ming army once again surprised him, they did not bother to fight together, and the battleship that was rushed away only hurriedly returned fire with a few shots, and then pulled up the sails and fled for their lives.

With Ezeg's fleet as the center, they drew an irregular M-shape on the sea, fled to the rear of Ezeg's fleet, and appeared to meet in a V-shape to block their retreat.

"Will their ships and firepower be able to stop us from returning?" Although Ezeger was full of suspicions, he didn't dare to be careless when a fleet had just been wiped out by the Ming army's tricks.

The Ming warships on both flanks were exposed to the side of his fleet, and they were within the range of artillery attack, and all the Portuguese captains did not need the commander's order to immediately order the battleships to seize the opportunity to carry out a fierce artillery attack.

The ships were tossed in the waves, and the Portuguese fleet poured grapeshot, chain bullets, trying to smash the canvas and masts of the Ming army, while the Ming army hit their ships with solid bullets, and shot countless iron nails and sharp iron pieces with a rain of shotguns, forcing their soldiers to duck down and avoid the blow.

The Ming warships finally escaped completely to the rear flank of Ezeg, and because of Ezeg's decisive rush, they were taken by surprise, although they escaped in time and rejoined, but four of the twenty battleships had seriously damaged sails, and their maneuverability was greatly reduced, and one of the two battleships had one mast broken each, and one of the other battleships was opened by the 'Giant' with a large hole in the side of the ship.

Ezeger was so excited that he drew his command sword and waved it and shouted, "Turn the ship, don't let them escape, this sea will become their graveyard!" ”

"General Ezeg, a large number of Ming warships have been discovered!" The sailors on the lookout bucket suddenly shouted wildly, and when Ezeg heard this, he hurriedly boarded the bridge and looked into the distance, only to see the sails like clouds, and a large number of Ming warships swooped down from the front and the upper left.

The ships were very fast, and he could see that they were all slightly smaller warships, and the ships were of various types, and if Ezeger was familiar with the Oriental ship type, he would recognize it as a small fortune ship, a wave boat, a bird boat, a mandarin duck boat, a Guangzhou ship, a Cangshan ship, and other ships of various purposes.

"Fire attack again?" This was Ezeg's first impression, seeing the speed of the ship, he knew that it was too late to make a detour to the upper left, so he immediately ordered: "The 'Intrepid' led the ship to entangle the Ming warship, and the other ships turned to the right and went around to the back of the Ming fleet, I want to let them suffer the consequences!" ”

The huge fleet began to move to the right, and it would take half an hour for the entire fleet to move from position to redeployment at the earliest, so he ordered the 'Dreadnought' to entangle the Chinese warships to prevent them from taking the opportunity to escape.

However, the Chinese warships did not flee, and when countless warships appeared in the distance, Han Wu and Adney ordered the five badly damaged warships to cross the ship in place, turn them into a water fortress, and fight a positional battle with the Portuguese ships with sharp guns, while the remaining fifteen warships were also lined up, not retreating, but advancing, and blocking the Portuguese warships in a fan-shape.

This time the two sides fired fiercely, they were too close to each other, and they were completely within the range of various types of artillery, and columns of water rose in the sea, and the sides of the ships that were hit smashed into sawdust flew everywhere, and both sides were buying time at all costs.

The warships in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the transfer formation of the Portuguese ships had not yet been completed, so Ezeg gave up the roundabout battle plan and ordered the warships to penetrate into the Ming fleet.

The fleet turned again, and the Ming fleet that suddenly appeared at this time had also outflanked it, the warships chased, the waves flew, and the wolf-like small warships quickly penetrated into the Portuguese fleet with the advantage of flexibility and speed, and the gloomy murderous atmosphere filled the entire sea area.

Ezeg took a long breath of cold air, the last time it seemed to be a 'wolf pack tactic', but it was actually a 'burning company camp', this time it was mistaken for 'burning the company camp', but the Ming army seemed to be using 'wolf pack tactics'.

Annoyed, Ezeger ordered the fleet to fight back as he motioned for the ships to prepare for close combat. On the side and deck of the ship, the black barrels of the guns were spraying blazing thunder. The sound of commands and repetitions was heard from the rumbling cannons of the warships.

The experienced Portuguese warships used intensive artillery fire to ensure that the sea on the right side was not surrounded by the Ming army, so that if a confrontation was not possible, there was a way for the fleet to break through and return. All kinds of warships ploughed the sea, and the waves rolled, like a huge catfish stirring up a small pond, at least in this wrestling sea, there was no calm water.

In naval warfare, generally speaking, the side that is inferior in the number of ships always tends to preserve its ships from being easily damaged. Therefore, they tend to enter the battle on the downwind side of the enemy ship, so that if the battle is unfavorable, they can quickly get out of the area of engagement.

Ezig led all the main naval forces of the Portuguese army in the Indian Ocean, and he was even more reluctant to fight with the Ming army, if it was a crushing victory, Portugal would inevitably fall into the revenge of the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish countries to compete for the Indian Ocean, and the outcome of the two-sided battle was unpredictable.

The situation now is that the Portuguese Royal Navy followed da Gama's path and easily defeated Arab traders in the Indian Ocean, establishing a trading empire that stretched from East Africa to Manraka, and securing Portugal's monopoly on the rich spice trade in the East Indies.

Spain conquered Mexico and Peru, and plundered the Indians, causing gold and silver mines from the Americas to pour into Spain's vaults.

The war in the South China Sea will likely change this balance and directly affect the power structure of Europe, which is thousands of miles away. Both Governor Azek and Commander Ezeger were soldiers with a strong aggressive surname and had relatively little political consideration, but now that they were at a disadvantage, they finally realized the terrible consequences of Ezeg.

"Even if we lose Manraka, we must try to save our fleet!" Although the main fleet of the Portuguese army had not suffered major injuries at all so far, and had even inflicted great damage on the Ming army in the confrontation, this thought kept coming to his mind.

But in the current situation, he didn't want to retreat immediately. Both Miyamoto and Pedro have repeatedly said that the Ming army's melee combat ability is very low, they lack combat skills, lack the courage to fight, and have always relied on an absolute number of soldiers to win the victory, while the naval division is worse than the army's hand-to-hand combat.

He wasn't wrong about this information, at least Yang Ling really didn't have the time and energy to improve the water division's hand-to-hand combat ability during this period. But today's main offensive force is the men and horses of 'Peng Jiaban', and it is also the first battle after Wang Meiren defected to the imperial court.

Although Yang Ling treated Wang Meiren well, not only did he not weaken his team, install his own cronies, but also promoted Peng Shark and him to the rank of Admiral of the Navy after accepting the summons, but the new person must have a mood of eagerness to show it.

At the same time, the tactics of sea melee are exactly what the East China Sea Group, which is accustomed to looting and raiding for a living, is what it is best at, so Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun boldly handed over this task to them after repeated analysis, and the power was completely decentralized.

Of course, the 20 main warships of the Ming Army's naval division lined up on the outside and did not join the melee were not vegetarians, in addition to being responsible for blocking the retreat of the Portuguese ships, their other mission was to supervise the battle.

The sea was filled with gunsmoke, the drums and horns roared, the cannon roared, and the smoke of gunpowder erupted from the side of the Portuguese ships, and quickly spread, and the warships were like monsters spitting smoke, destroying the enemy ships with cannon fire, and trying to overturn them by swinging, but their room for movement was too small, and the sailors of the small boats were very skillful, and easily avoided them, and the result of the collision was to make their guns very inaccurate.

Some Ming warships had already approached the Portuguese ships, hooking the sides of the ships one by one, and the officers and men began to board the ships and fight hand-to-hand. These soldiers, who had just turned from pirates to officers, still maintained their wild and fierce surnames, and their flesh and blood were blurred by the fire on the Portuguese ships, and their heads and chests were split with axes, which only provoked them to a larger wild surname.

However, what really has a strong lethality is the small Franc cannon of the Portuguese army, which uses shotguns in close combat, and with a loud "boom", countless steel balls and iron pieces fly sideways, killing countless soldiers who board the ship.

The Ming army's firearms, crossbow arrows, and the guns on the battleship also desperately suppressed the counterattack of the Portuguese ships, and the Francos who were hit by the Ming army's shotguns, some of them tumbled into the rough sea, and some rolled on the deck with their bloody faces, and the rumbling artillery fire could not suppress the terrible screams.

The disadvantage of firearms was the slow firing speed, and the fact that several warships climbed at the same time from different angles made them even more careless, and officers and men constantly jumped onto Portuguese ships during the interval between the firing of artillery and firearms, and then were killed or suppressed by the counterattacking Portuguese soldiers.

Three Portuguese ships were already in full hand-to-hand combat, and more and more soldiers rushed to the deck to fight for their lives with the Portuguese officers and men who swarmed up on deck, in the cabins, and by the corridors. The cold knife and axe slashed at the opponent's **, and the blood flowed across the deck like water, sticky and slippery.

Dead bodies, axes, and steel knives were thrown everywhere, knives and axes flew, blood splattered, and the cold glow of cold weapons flashed everywhere on the deck and in the cabin. In close combat, the superiority of the Ming army was revealed. The Cold War weapons in Western Europe were mainly knives, swords, axes and muskets, while the Ming Dynasty did not have enough steel to forge weapons because the soldiers were too large, so they mainly used spears.

Some of these spears are made of flexible white wax rods, with only an iron spear head added to them, and some are bamboo spears from beginning to end. The Portuguese soldiers want to attack the target one is to be close, but also to have enough combat space, and the Ming army with spears can overlap positions, they only need to stand one foot away from the opponent, from the perimeter 90 degrees of the range can all enter the attack, the Portuguese sailors are retreating, the battleship is in the hands of the Ming army is a matter of time, some people began to disarm and surrender.

Ezeger finally made up his mind and prepared to get rid of the Ming army and return to Manraka. The gap in the right flank torn open by heavy artillery fire became the only way for him to escape, and the fleet turned to the right flank while returning fire to the Ming army.

The Portuguese fleet, which was really subordinate to him, had only lost three ships, and its strength was still there, and there was still a chance to regroup and fight again, and if it failed, it would sweep away the gold and silver treasures accumulated by the royal palace of Thorn over the centuries, and lead the fleet back to India, where it would accumulate strength and make a comeback in the future.

Ezegg pondered hatefully as he gave orders.

Adney stood at the bow of the ship, saw the movement of the Portuguese fleet, turned her head to look at Han Wu, Han Wu was also staring at the movement of the Portuguese army, his eyes showed excitement, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Sound the horn, let Admiral Peng collect his troops, and the headquarters fleet will attack!" ”

The Ming fleet put on a posture of hot pursuit, with Han Wu's main fleet in front, Peng Shark and Wang Meiren's 'wolf pack' behind, and Ezig's battleship in the front puffed up its sails and quickly left the battlefield with the smallest arc.

There was a loud bang in the distance, the waves were high, the hull capsized, and the 'creaking' sound from the ship's planks seemed to be audible. Immediately afterward, a high column of water rose from the surface of the sea, and another ship shook violently.

The Portuguese fleet did not know what was happening, but continued to move forward at high speed. Adney sighed, silently turned her head, and walked towards the cabin. Behind, Han Wu shouted an order: "Turn the rudder and drive sideways!" ”

Adney knew that such a situation was inevitable, and the official decisive battle between the two fleets and the fierce attack of the wolf pack tactics were all preparations for this moment, in order to let Ezeger himself walk into the minefield. The poor fleet, the invincible fleet that came from the west all the way to the east, and the powerful armament that controlled the entire Indian Ocean, was now doomed to defeat and could never turn over.

Such an outcome is inevitable, even if General Vasco da Gama or the god of war Governor Krk personally commands it, it will be the same ending. It is enough to have this just because, before that, there were no such weapons as mines in the world.

Ezeger really didn't know what was going on, the powerful explosion caused the hull to almost topple over. There was not a single ship in the direction that could hit this angle as far as the naked eye could see, and the point of explosion was from underwater, so he really couldn't guess what kind of weapon it was.

The fleet slowed down, and the explosions continued one after another, and Ezeger finally recognized one thing: whatever weapon the Ming army used, it was clear that it was a bomb planted in the water, waiting for his fleet to collide.

More than 30 warships sank to the bottom of the sea in a "stunned" manner with iron anchors under the order of Aizeg, all the sails were lowered, and their warships were moored on the spot. Surrounded by clear blue waters, the waves gently undulated, but who knows where and where there are bombs below? The entire sea was a terrible place of death in their eyes, immobilizing them.

Five warships were hit, including Ezeg's command ship, and since the explosion point was underwater, all of them now faced the same problem: the sea began to invade, and even without the Ming army, it was questionable whether such a warship would be able to sail back to port safely, even without the Ming army.

The warships of the Ming army cautiously bypassed this sea area, and waited on their upper hand. The Portuguese ships could not retreat, and the forward, left, and right directions were daunting to them, and they were trapped in a minefield.

Several adjacent Portuguese warships signaled to each other, began to approach slowly, set up a gangplank, and brought several generals to the intact 'Count', and began to urgently discuss countermeasures. This area is still within the range of the Ming warship guns, and the Ming army is moving to the best attack position.

No one could come up with an effective solution, there were explosion-provoking monsters under the water, and they couldn't get out, and until now they hadn't seen what those things looked like. It was not possible to stick to the same place, and the Ming army could not wait for the wind to change and let them withdraw the same way.

The fierce quarrel made the captains and gentlemen who were very angry almost smashed the conference platform of the 'Earl', and at this moment, there was a "boom", and the Ming army opened fire.

Ezeger didn't have time to discuss it any more, and he led the generals to hurry up to the deck, and ran to the side of the ship to look upwind. Beside him was a soldier hanging on his back on the side of the ship, half of his head had been severed by shrapnel, his brain was overflowing, and his blood had congealed black.

The other corpse sitting on the ground was even more terrifying, it had been ejected beyond recognition by the shotgun, his face and body were covered with shrapnel, and an iron thistle terrestris on his forehead was deeply embedded in his bones, which was a kind of shrapnel unique to the Ming artillery.

As the whole army was in despair, there was no one to collect the corpses of their comrades. Ezeger was accustomed to blood, and he pushed away the soldier's corpse with a blank face, quietly watching the Ming warship.

These enemies, who had only had a brief head-to-head confrontation with him so far, had been using intrigue and intrigues. Ezeg's navy also used stratagems, but they usually used stratagems to match frontal combat, and until now, the Ming army has used head-on engagements to cooperate with stratagems, using traps as main battle weapons.

Aizeg was not convinced, he was really unconvinced from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that he could be like a knight and be defeated with dignity, but the Ming army did not give him this opportunity.

The Portuguese guns also began to counterattack one after another, and Ezeger looked around his fleet and asked himself: Is my fleet going to be lost in the Far East? How do you rush out?

At this moment, he noticed that the camp of the Ming army had changed again. There was smoke rising from the rows of battleships, it was not gunpowder smoke, and clouds of black and thick smoke were sent down the wind under the pressure of the sea. Ezeger choked on the wind and immediately crouched on the ground and coughed, the soldiers on the ship in front of him were smoky with tears and snot flowing from the continuous smoke.

Two guards helped him stumble back to the cabin, and got a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose. It's an unconventional way again! Ezeg's anger was thunderous, and all the battleships were shrouded in clouds, and although the sea breeze kept blowing the smoke away, the subsequent smoke continued to blow.

The smoke was spicy and choking, and there was a stench that almost suffocated people, and they could no longer see the position of the warship, and the gunners could only wipe their tears while staring at the red and swollen eyes and shooting blindly.

Using the main fleet as bait and wolf pack tactics to drive away, what was really used to destroy the Portuguese fleet was mine warfare and chemical weapons. Ezeger knew that he could not hold out any longer, the Ming army had too many warships, and if each ship carried items to make poisonous smoke, the officers and men of his fleet would be smoked alive.

Ezeger gritted his teeth and gave the final order: "Order the fleet to forcibly break through, at a thirty-degree angle to starboard, with five warships that were shot as the pioneer, and make a way out!" ”

The Portuguese naval fleet set sail again in the billowing smoke, and the soldiers, with tears and snot in their eyes, fumbled to raise their sails, and set off to the right side with their backs to the Ming army amid a series of heart-rending coughs.

The thick smoke blurred the soldiers' vision, making it impossible for them to accurately follow the five warships in front of them, and at the same time, the underwater mouth was fixed with iron anchors, and the large tank mines in the water were implicated in the water with ropes and bamboo rafts, and from time to time they would hook the bottom of the battleships like swaying water plants, and many movable mines half-sunk in the water with small tanks, although their lethality was limited, but the psychological deterrent effect was great, and under their continuous explosions, the panicked Portuguese ships began to hit more large mines.

The first battleship 'Giant' began to sink before it could break out of the minefield due to too many hits and the sea water tore several holes. The sailors cried and tried to get the help of their friendly ships, but no one paid attention to them, and the following mineships rounded it with a determination to die, and continued to rush forward, while the rest of the ships followed.

Ezeger was determined to ignore his own soldiers in cold blood, and ordered the battleship to sail out at all costs. All he wanted now was to flee back to Manthorna immediately, as long as he could load some fresh water and food so that he could start the first phase of his escape.

He could take the rest of the supplies he needed along the way, and he had to flee back to India, and even if the royal Portuguese navy was reduced to beggars at sea, he had to keep a few warships for the Governor of Arbuquerque, even if it was only ten, otherwise this defeat might be the beginning of the weakening of the Portuguese state.

Adventurers always like to get rich overnight, but as big as the benefits, as big as the risks, and a failure can also send them into a situation from which they will never recover.

There were no more terrifying explosions ahead, and at the same time, they also rushed out of the Ming army's poisonous smoke array. Five warships were shipwrecked and sunk in the sand, leaving forever in that terrifying sea. Less than ten of the battleships that escaped were intact, and the rest were more or less scarred.

The Ming fleet found that they had broken out of the minefield and began to chase after them, Ezeg hurriedly inspected the fleet, and then ordered the captain of the 'Dreadnought', Mourinho, to be the field commander, and led nine warships with serious leaks in the bottom of the ship to fight the Ming army to the death, and the remaining eleven warships used the time they had gained to return to Manchurianga.

The large and small warships of the Ming army rushed over, and the nine Portuguese warships that did not turn well were soon engulfed by the wolves, and hand-to-hand combat began again.

A group of peach-like 'Super Saiyans' armed with sharp axes and long swords, with swollen eyes, desperately opened a slit in their eyes, trying to find the head of their opponent's spear.

Han Wu left behind five ships with damaged sails to assist Peng Shark's fleet in the battle, and he led fifteen undamaged warships, followed by nearly thirty small boats, and pursued the Portuguese fleet.

It wasn't that Ezeger didn't think that Manthorn Plus might be captured by the Ming army, but he had too many reasons why he had to rush back to investigate: the huge wealth looted by the fleet could not be avoided; His wife and children cannot be left alone; The archbishop, though he was a noxious fellow, could not leave him here to provoke the wrath of the king; The battleships could not be left without provisions, and in addition to the lack of food, the ammunition they carried was also consumed.

The fleet was about to sail into the bay, and the wind and waves were calm ahead, and there were no warships to intercept it outside the sea. "Thank God!" With a shout, Ezeger tearfully ordered the five warships behind the fleet to use the terrain of the bay to intercept the Ming pursuers and buy time for the entire fleet.

The Lucky was the first to turn into the bay, followed by Ezig's Count, and everyone on board was stunned as the huge hull slid incliningly across the sea, skirting the green peaks of the bay, and the whole smooth and vast bay was in view.

In the distance to the left, a neat row of warships was sailing out to sea, the fishhook-shaped line seemed to block their possible retreat, but Ezegg had no time to care about this, he stared at the behemoth in front of him, the terrifying killing machine.

It was covered in black holes, and if it weren't for the fact that it was floating on the surface of the sea where it had just sailed away this morning, Azer would have thought that this flat steel beast was a castle built here a long time ago.

The poor 'Lucky' had sailed too fast, perhaps to avoid the sharp and heavy ramming horns that seemed to plow through the mountains, and it must have made a sharp turn at the same time as it dropped its sails and threw the cat, so it now leaned its butt against the side of such a great ship, like a little duckling with a yellow beak cruising beside the mother duck, except that instead of warm wings, it was lined with rows of muzzles.

Behind this huge ship, there was still a row of warships quietly parked. Ezeger roared: "Left full rudder, left full rudder, drop sail, anchor, hurry, hurry!" ”

"Boom", the sea water stirred up by the sharp turn rolled out like a huge wave, and when it swooped at the foot of the huge ship, it became a gentle wave. The 'Earl' narrowly stopped and turned around, not being cut in half by the coulter. But the ships that came in were not so lucky.

There was less and less room for them to turn, and one ship crashed into the stern of the other that had been grounded, and the other smashed into the side of the other battleship, and the two ships crushed together.

The battleship was like the scene of a traffic accident, the ironclad giant ship was still quietly moored in the bay, and Ezeger did not move, he noticed that the bow of the giant ship faintly showed a few cannon ports, that is, the giant ship did not need to turn, it could immediately open fire, and use its heavy artillery to destroy the small boat under its nose.

Ezeg's gaze continued to move upward, the Chinese-style architecture, the cabins were like gorgeous palaces and pavilions, carved dragons and phoenixes, extremely honorable. On the high flagpole at the bow of the ship, in the middle is a golden flag, fluttering with the sea breeze, and the oblique sunlight is shining on the top of the pole, which is a Chinese dragon that is about to fly.

Someone was shouting, in a loud and majestic tone, but Ezeger did not know what he meant, and he saw that with these words, the sails of the great ship rumbled up, and at this time the sun was slanting in the west, and the main sails of the three huge clouds rose up, and immediately obscured the sky, and the light around them was dim.

The chaotic Portuguese officers and men fell silent and watched in horror at each other's movements.

The raising of the great sails made the anchor chains in the water straighten in an instant, and Ezeg was sure that if all these anchors were raised, his sturdy battleship would be plowed out of the bay by the ship in front of him.

Someone shouted again, in Portuguese: "General Ezege, Your Excellency Governor Yang Ling of the Ming Dynasty, I ask you to immediately board the 'Mighty General' and surrender to the Ming Naval Division!" ”

Eziger squinted at a pale man standing on the lower deck of the ship, it was Captain Louis Diego.

(To be continued)
