The warships of the two sides are back in the same direction, preparing for the final showdown, with the addition of Tiago's cannon, the pattern of naval battles will be greatly changed, if it is a duel like this before, I am afraid that a day of hard work will not be able to decide the winner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Now the great destructive power of the Thiago cannon will play a decisive role, whether it is to destroy the hull of the enemy ship or kill the enemy's personnel, its power is unprecedented.

This time, it became Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie who took the lead, and the two ships, which had a decent head and face, advanced amid the shelling of each other.

When they arrived at the position of the shelling, they also turned gray and their armor was crooked, but their counterattack began.

Sixteen thirty-six-pounder and forty-eight-pounder Tiago guns, which were still functioning on the side of the ship, began to roar, and seven of them hit the enemy ship, and several large irregular holes were opened in the full side of the opposing battleship, which had been turned around, and most of the opposing guns were silenced.

Qian Er lit the artillery arquebus again, and this time his men were not nervous, and every Spanish battleship opposite the Hou Junji, which was the end, was repaired by the can openers of the ships in front.

When Hou Junji came on the field, the resistance he encountered was faint and scattered, and there was no neat salvo, and the gunners of the Hou Junji could fire as if they were in drill, and replenish the guns of the opponent's battleships, which was very pleasant.

At the end of this battle, there was no suspense about the outcome of the battle, all of them were 500-ton ships, but the heavy guns of Li Hu's fleet were 36-pound and 48-pound cannons and Thiago, and the Spaniards only had 24-pound guns in the fleet.

The San Martin and San Francisco had a few thirty-six-pounder cannons, and they couldn't handle them, and the result was that the Li Hu fleet was badly damaged on the outside, but not badly damaged on the inside, and the Spaniards had skylights open everywhere, and the gunners suffered heavy casualties. Now even a quarter of the complete artillery crew cannot be preserved, and it has basically lost its combat effectiveness.

The two sides sailed in the opposite direction, and the two Spanish warships did not turn around and headed directly to the east, not caring about anything, so it was better to run first, and the Hou Junji and the Black Tooth Changzhi, who came out of the tail, hurriedly turned around and chased after the clippers under the reminder of the clippers. Not a single enemy ship can be allowed to escape, and the longer this secret is kept, the better.

At this moment, the remaining five Spanish frigates were in a mess, and although they did not escape, they could see that the sailors' hearts were in chaos when they looked at the chaotic tracks.

When the two fleets opened fire again, it was only the first round that the first position of the St. André was destroyed in the front mast, the rear mainmast was shattered, and three large holes were cut in the gun deck. Now the St. André is full of holes.

The most terrifying thing is not this, it is very common to be beaten all over the body in a naval battle, and some of the warships in Li Hu's fleet on the opposite side are also full of holes, but the gun crew in the St. Andrea is only three complete this time, and the captain and the first mate of the St. Andrea discussed and raised the white flag cleanly.

They thought they had done their best to live up to the soldier's mission, and now they were just surrendering with dignity. This is very common in the West, and the San Diego behind it is also the same. It was also bloodied by the battleship opposite, with only five gun crews left, the mainmast completely destroyed, and no hope of victory.

The three ships behind looked at it, okay, run. Descending, our three ships rushed forward, it was a ghost gate, running back, could it be back to the ocean. The problem is that the damage is so bad, there is no hope of escape, and it has to be lowered.

So five white flags, large and small, were raised in various parts of the ship, and they all were lowered.

Dominguez on the San Martín stood on the deck with an iron face, silent, what a shame, the three rounds of battles did not last, and the Spanish Navy, which had been crisscrossing all oceans of the world for a hundred years, was completely degenerated.

Without his orders, Lucas, the captain of the St. Martin, also raised the white flag, and there was no point in continuing the fight.

However, Fidero, the captain of the São Francisco, did not order the white flag to be raised, because he had consulted with First Officer Ferdinand and believed that he was in danger of being killed.

After all, there was no news of the missing ship personnel last time, and the Portuguese were still subject countries of the Spaniards, and they robbed the Spanish treasure ship halfway, so they were most likely killed and killed, so that the secret would not be known to the Spanish king, so they decided to surrender conditionally.

It can be said that they think a lot, some are close to the truth, and they also put into action, but the ending is very bad.

When the approaching Li Jing heard the other party shouting a conditional surrender, and they just followed the drive and did not disarm, Li Hu on the Li Jing laughed angrily, it was really wishful thinking.

If you agree to their request, what will happen to the other surrendered ships, will they not disarm as they do, and the fleet will fight with other forces on the way, and they will escape and even help the enemy, what kind of person came up with a way to pat his head, Li Hu immediately ordered, not allowed, and then ordered Li Jing to get close to coerce the enemy.

At this time, Federo decided to intimidate his opponent with the ship's thirty-six pounder gun, I also have heavy artillery, defeat me, and you will also pay a big price.

Boom, boom, four thirty-six-pounder cannons opened fire, three of which hit the Li Jing, one projectile broke the foremast, one hit the lower deck, fortunately not the gun deck, and the last hit the bow compartment.

This projectile penetrated out, but a large number of wood chips that it splashed knocked down the guards around Li Hu, and the iron armor on Li Hu's right arm was also pierced by a wood chip, and the blood flowed nonstop, but fortunately, it was not directly hit by the projectile, it was all skin trauma.

Li Hu was furious, thinking that the war was over, but he didn't expect that the captain of the fleet would hang up the lottery at the end, and at this time, the artillery deck did not wait for Li Hu's order, and the twenty-one heavy guns on the side and bow of the ship roared.

Since the San Francisco was afloat and had no speed, it was simple, seventeen heavy artillery projectiles hit the target, and for a time the side of the ship on this side was opened with more than ten large holes, and the whole ship was crooked.

Fortunately, this ship was a behemoth of 1,200 tons, and it still had no fatal effect on it after being opened a dozen holes, and there were even six or seven guns that fired back, and two more holes were opened on the Li Jing, causing casualties.

The Li Jing and the Cheng Zhijie, another ship that came up, roared more than 40 heavy guns on the side of the São Francisco, and then fired a salvo after a hundred breaths, almost turning the side of the San Francisco into a honeycomb.

Then, the cannons on the Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie cleaned the deck of the San Francisco with shotshots, and the twenty cannons sprayed more than 1,000 iron particles on the deck of the San Francisco.

When they landed, the soft sails were shattered, the masts were damaged, and the dust was flying, and most of the sailors on the deck were killed, blood and scraps of flesh were splashed on the deck, and the sailors' howls were faintly heard for miles.

The people on the ships of both the ships preparing to surrender and those preparing to accept surrender watched in amazement as the two sides fought each other, wondering why the battle had become so fierce.

Domingos, who was closest to them, scolded for being stupid, without the escort of the battleship, the San Martin and San Francisco were the sturdy ones, and they could take a few more shots, I really don't know if this Federo has a head on his neck.

Li Hu ordered Cheng Zhijie to continue the shelling, while Li Jing approached the enemy ship and prepared to fight with help.

After Cheng Zhijie opened more than 20 large holes for the San Francisco in two rounds, Li Jing approached the San Francisco, and because the other party's deck was several meters higher than Li Jing, Li Jing's 100 armor guards hooked the guardrail of the enemy ship with rope hooks and boarded the enemy ship one after another.

At this time, the interior of the San Francisco was in chaos, and the captain of the San Francisco, Federro, ordered his sailors to attack, and the sailors scolded him for being stupid and wanted to kill the entire crew, and no one stepped forward to fight hand-to-hand.

At this time, Li Jing's armor and long knives, shields and firearms landed on the wide deck of the San Francisco, and they were also shocked by the slaughter scene on the deck, the scene was so bloody that the scene of scattered bombs lingering in their minds.

The armorers forced themselves through the deck to pounce on the various cabins and the lower deck, and the meal took control of the entire deck.

The dejected Federo was captured in the bow compartment, and the other sailors were taken to the deck one after another.

At this time, the reception of other ships was also underway, almost one ship docked with another, put on armor and disarmed, and spare sailors began to board enemy ships to take over the ships. Every time he went to sea to plunder Zhao Lie's fleet, he brought his own reserve sailors, because almost every time an enemy ship was captured, it was impossible to do without sailors.

Domingos and the others on the San Martin were also taken to the lower deck to be detained, awaiting Li Hu's decision.

At this time, Li Hu was thundering violently and asked people to interrogate with sticks who ordered the resistance, and at this time, of course, his image of hanging his arms was not much better, and Li Hu sprinkled his anger on the enemy prisoners.

It soon became clear that the captain and the first mate decided to resist after discussion, and Li Hu was about to order the two to be executed, killing chickens and monkeys, and the sailors reported that the lower deck of the San Francisco was seriously leaking, and asked if it was necessary to move the goods in a hurry to prevent the shipwreck.

Li Hu personally took a look at the bottom cabin, and found that the ship's board at the back of the bottom compartment was deformed by the impact of the gunpowder explosion, and the water seepage was serious.

Li Hu finally calmed down at this time, and resumed his decision as the commander of the ocean-going fleet, he ordered all efforts to plug the leak and rescue this huge ship, but he knew that Jeju's transportation capacity was tight, and if this ship was rescued, it would greatly relieve the pressure on Jeju to transport Liaomin.

At the same time, he ordered the armored sailors of the Cheng Zhijie to reinforce the place and make every effort to carry items to Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie.

And just like that, the operation to save the San Francisco began.

In the evening, Li Hu was told that most of the water seepage of the San Francisco had been stopped, and that the personnel were now transporting the water in the bilge outside. Li Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, all seven ships were received, because the ships were too large and the number was large, the five hundred reserve sailors who came from the ship were all on duty before they were put into operation, after all, more than a hundred sailors had been placed on several captured small merchant ships, and at this time the shortage of manpower was extremely tight, and even the sailors who changed shifts were all on duty.
