[Today's second update]

Knock knock!

The cannon roared, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. The Pacific Fleet's starboard firepower fired a salvo, and the waves suddenly rolled on the sea surface for more than ten miles, and columns of water rose into the sky, making it difficult to distinguish between the sea and the sky.

Shells rained down and the sea boiled.

The first contact between the two sides entered the white heat!

Hot shells whistled in, and the fragile schooner was shot through in an instant, and was shattered by the lapping of the waves.

Some of the schooners were rubbed by hot shells, which immediately caused a fire, and the gunpowder and flammable materials accumulated on them instantly became weapons against their own people.

There are huge numbers of corsairs, rushing towards the Pacific Fleet at any cost.

Rao is the Pacific Fleet's firing frequency is extremely fast, and in a short distance of five or six hundred meters, the sloop is also approaching very quickly.

The Pacific Fleet does not play broadside hopping gang warfare with the enemy, but now the fog locks the sea, and the fleet that wants to avoid but is afraid to break away. Therefore, the ships were quickly replaced with grenade bombs, which sank the enemy ships as a living force to kill the enemy.

Knock knock!

The second round of shelling took place in half a minute, which really stunned the pirates. Gasan was most shocked, he knew that the Spanish fleet normally needed two shells a minute, and as the battle dragged on, a few minutes was not bad.

Ghassan knew that the Spanish fleet had this kind of firing interval, so over the years, against the Spanish warships, he always took advantage of the opponent's first round of shelling and before the second round of shelling to complete the gangside jump.

It had always been his winning formula, but now, after the first round of shelling, the second round was played in half a minute, which shocked him.

However, what surprised him even more was that the opponent's second round was not a solid shell, but a grenade bomb.

The whooshing of shells was gone, replaced by the dense chirping of small steel balls.

Gasan rushed ahead, and his years of experience made him feel bad, and he quickly jumped from the sailboat into the sea. At this moment, countless scattered bombs flew, and the sailboat was suddenly beaten into a sieve, and the two deputies on it were instantly beaten into a blur of flesh and blood.

Under the surface of the sea, countless marbles shot into a depth of more than a meter before losing kinetic energy, and Ghassan could see it clearly and had already guessed the situation above.

There is no reason to be spared!

The cannon roared and endured.

Ghassan was so shaken in the sea that his head buzzed and he had to surface.

The projectiles that shot from the sky, like wheat harvesters, turned the pirates who had just approached the Pacific Fleet into a hornet's nest.

When the battle reached a fierce level, the sailors of the ships of the Pacific Fleet took up muskets and fired at the approaching pirates.

The first wave of the pirate attack echelon consisted mainly of arsonist ships, with the aim of disrupting the formation of the Pacific Fleet.

Several schooners slammed into the battleship, and the long spikes pierced the battleship wrapped in a layer of copper under the action of strong inertia.

The flames ignited immediately, and the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet had to greet the arsonist boat with sandbags and water. Fortunately, the Pacific Fleet's artillery fire was fierce, making it difficult for the pirates' fireships to get close. Even if they got close, they were basically dodged by the battleship.

An arsonist ship rushed towards the cruiser Dolphin 249, and the captain saw that it had dodged the gunfire and dodged into the blind spot. So he hurriedly ordered the battleship to turn sharply to the right and crashed straight into the arsonist ship.

The pirates did not expect this situation, and when they saw the huge warship coming on top, they immediately panicked, and their hands trembled and they could not ignite the fire.

With a loud bang, the cruiser No. 249 rolled over the arsonist ship, and the small arsonist ship was torn apart in an instant.

The other cruisers also saw the practice of No. 249 at this time, and they all followed suit, and for a while, although the formation of the rear of the Pacific Fleet fell into chaos, they were fortunate to keep the battleship and reduce their losses.

The Pacific Fleet systematically attacked the pirates with artillery fired, and under the effect of the mass destruction of grenade projectiles, the battlefield situation gradually stabilized and developed in a favorable direction.

To the frustration of the pirates, the originally scheduled second echelon has been delayed, making the first echelon's attack weak.

After Ghassan surfaced, he did not dare to move, hiding under the wreckage of several warships. Projectiles shoot from time to time, piercing holes in the planks.

Gasan didn't care about anything else, calculated the time interval between the Pacific Fleet's guns, and then continued to dive to evade.

Half an hour later, when Ghassan resurfaced, he regretted the terrible situation outside. I saw that the more than 100 sloops he had brought with him were all destroyed, and the sea was full of wreckage of warships, and billowing smoke poured out, staining the sky gray and black. There were countless corpses floating on the surface of the sea, broken arms everywhere, corpses with blurred flesh and blood, and the smell of blood and foul smell was disgusting.

The fire burned the sea like hell.

The Pacific Fleet did not stop, it kept advancing, and it did not even stop cleaning the battlefield. The battleship in the fierce battle soon returned, and as the group gradually disappeared into the fog in the distance, leaving Ghassan with a stunned appearance.

And so it ended, and Ghassan was surprised to arrange, and his plan to prepare to destroy the Pacific Fleet at once turned out to be so vulnerable.

Could it be that this is the power of the Ming Empire? Or maybe it's simply the essential difference between a navy and a pirate.

"Damn it! Where did the second echelon go? ”

Only then did Ghassan remember that his second echelon had not appeared until now, which was the direct reason for his failure.

"Are there any living people—ahem!"

Gasan roared, and just as the waves rolled in, the stinking sea water poured into him, and he almost vomited his stomach in disgust.

The belated Kokod Boat Division rescued Gassan, and his subordinates did not feel the strength of the other party, and swore that the medicine would continue to pursue, destroy the Pacific Fleet, and avenge the death of their brothers.

Gasan looked at the five or six thousand boats, and his heart turned over to the five-flavor bottle. The scale of his pirates is not huge, but what can it be? The Pacific Fleet shamelessly uses grenades against them, the "common people", and what about the more people? It's not a live target for people!

The cannon fire on the east side kept ringing, and Ghassan finally came to his senses.

"Why are you still fighting*?"

Unbeknownst to the crowd, soon a clipper ship ran to report that the leader Karamolan had been attacked by the Dutch navy.

"What?"

Gasan was dumbfounded on the spot, things became unexpected, and the miscalculation of the strength of the Pacific Fleet was already a headache for him. Now that their boss has been attacked by the Dutch fleet, what the hell is going on, Ghassan is going crazy in a hurry.

"Reinforcements now!"

Ghassan could not help but rescue his boss, so he quickly turned around with five or six thousand boats and drove east.

It turned out that the Dutch East India Fleet was preparing to encircle the Pacific Fleet, but when it was encircled, it suddenly ran into Karamolan's pirate fleet. Due to the fog, Karamolan and Rayoz did not understand for a while, and when Ghassan and the Pacific Fleet fought in the west, they miscalculated, so they involuntarily fought.

It didn't matter if this was a fight, although Karamolan's fleet was not strong, it was not weak either, and for a time Rejouz's Dutch fleet could not take advantage.

However, Ghassan was still waiting for Karamolan to lead the fleet to form a second echelon to reinforce, and as soon as they fought, the second attack echelon was gone, making Gassan's plan fall short, and more than a hundred schooners were lost.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It was not only Ghassan who heard the sound of artillery, but the front of the Pacific Fleet who were the first to hear it.

It was the mid-rear team that was attacked, and the pirates hurriedly attacked, so that the original attack was finally concentrated on the mid-rear team.

This put a lot of pressure on the middle and rear teams, and while the front team did not participate in the battle, they happened to hear other artillery sounds from the east.

"That's the sound of the Dutchman's Westminster cannon!"

"It's huge! There are hundreds of cannons! ”

Shi Jianfei judged that the Dutch East India Fleet must have appeared not far to the east, so he had no time to clean up the battlefield, and hurriedly ordered the Pacific Fleet to speed up and leave the area of engagement.

"The fog is thick, no matter what happens in the east, we can be sure that the Dutch East India Fleet is coming, and our fleet is in a steep shape!"

"The report is up!"

Shen Yanghao handed the battle reports submitted by the warships that had just been handed over to Shi Jianfei, and explained on the side: "It was a group of pirates who attacked us, and the scale was very large, and it was initially estimated that they launched more than a hundred schooners. Judging from the battle situation, the opponent's schooners were filled with gunpowder, sulfur and other fire-causing things! ”

"That's the arsonist ship?"

Shen Yanghao nodded, noncommittal.

Shi Jianfei's expression was solemn, and he said, "If the pirates attack us, there is no reason to only use arson ships, there should be a second attack echelon behind them." ”

"That's right!"

Shen Yanghao said: "Pirates mainly rob, and it is not their style to burn them all. However, the second echelon did not arrive on time, which made the first echelon unable to follow, and our fleet was lucky to retreat! ”

Shi Jianfei said: "The cannon sound in the east should be the second echelon of the pirates, because they didn't arrive on time, they should have suddenly encountered the Dutch fleet!" ”

"It is undeniable that the sudden appearance of the Dutch fleet here is aimed at us!"

"Almost fell in their way!"

"What do we do now?"

Shi Jianfei looked at Shen Yanghao and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"Come and don't be rude!"

"That's exactly what I wanted!"

Shen Yanghao looked at the sky and said, "The fog will last for two hours!" ”

Shi Jianfei turned his head and shouted, "Ship sergeant! ”

"Here!"

"Order, the fleet turns east and goes out of the Pacific Ocean!"

The order was given, and the Pacific Fleet turned east, exited the fog zone at about eight a.m., and entered the Pacific Ocean.

At the same time, the exchange of fire between the Dutch East India Fleet and the pirate fleet was coming to an end. The pirate fleet did not know the number of the Dutch East India fleet at first, which, combined with the cover of dense fog, did not suffer. Later, however, as the fog became lighter and lighter, Karamolan discovered that the Dutch fleet was huge, so he did not dare to use the tiger's whiskers anymore, and took advantage of the fog to evacuate.

The Sea of López was the territory of the Corcod pirates, and the Dutch fleet was helpless and had to stop.

The two sides fought for several hours, the Dutch fleet lost two cruisers, and the pirate war sank eight frigates.

As the fog lifted, the Pacific Fleet was gone.

Rejoz was so angry that his beard stood up, and after a good sneak attack, he was finally ruined by a group of pirates.

"Your Excellency General, what should we do now?"

Turner stubbornly asked Rayoz, knowing that Reyoz was very hot right now, but had to ask.

"Keep chasing!"

Turner did not directly oppose Reyoz, but said: "Your Excellency, we will not be able to catch up with them in one day, and after this battle, I think they are ready. Besides, it is now certain that the Pacific Fleet has no intention of moving south to challenge us, and you will have to explain it to Admiral Arnhem. ”

Rayoz glared at Turner, and finally had to give up the idea of continuing the pursuit of the Pacific Fleet.

At ten o'clock in the morning, after the Dutch East India Fleet had cleaned up the battlefield, the fleet turned around and returned home.

At the same time, the Pacific Fleet was also sailing south, and was two hours ahead of the Dutch fleet. The sentinel ships released by the Pacific Fleet had already discovered the whereabouts of the Dutch fleet, so Shi Jianfei decided to wait in the waters near Naya.

The Pacific Fleet was blowing southerly winds along the Pacific coast, and when it reached the Naga Sea, it turned around and headed north, gaining the upper hand. At the same time, the Dutch East India Fleet went from south to north, exactly in the leeward direction. As a result, the Dutch fleet had to take a "Z" route, using the left and right backwinds to advance against the wind.

At dawn the next day, the Dutch fleet sailed to the waters off Naga.

It was not yet dawn, but the light on the sea was not very dark, a thin layer of fog.

At 5:30 a.m., the Pacific Fleet formed six squadrons and sailed downwind from south to north at a speed of 10 knots. At the same time, the Dutch East India fleet was still in a long line of snakes, sailing against the wind at a speed of five knots.

At 5:50, the two sides were five miles apart, and they both saw each other.

Rayoz hadn't slept well all night last night, when he suddenly heard a loud alarm and got up sharply to ask.

"Report to the Admiral, yes-it's the Pacific Fleet!"

"What?"

Ryoz got up with a spirit, quickly dressed, and came out of deck.

At this time, the flagship was already in a mess, because the Pacific Fleet was coming head-on, and the flagship was the first to bear the brunt, and the shape was worrisome.

Rayoz came outside, and he didn't need clairvoyance to see the tall mast of the Pacific Fleet.

"Prepare for battle!"

Turner hurriedly ordered, and the Dutch sailors were in their places, and from their frightened eyes, Turner sensed danger.

"General, the only way to do this is to turn around quickly!"

"It's too late!"

Rejoz saw at a glance the purpose of the Pacific Fleet, which was clearly here for revenge. The opponent occupies the upper wind direction, and the opponent is leeward, and the opponent will be rushed by the opponent when he turns around!

"The opponent is divided into six teams, as long as we turn, they will definitely rush in first and split our formation, that would be too dangerous!"

Turner said anxiously: "But, if we don't turn around, they will beat the flagship into a sieve!" ”

Rejoz held back his anger and said, "This damn guy, he just wants to sink my flagship as revenge for the battle in the López Sea!" ”

Lei Yoz naturally scolded Shi Jianfei, in his eyes, only the commander of the other party was equal to him, and others were not worthy of his hatred.

"Order the first ten battleships not to turn, and the battleships behind immediately turn to the east and make a detour from the left!"

"Your Excellency, General, please take a dinghy to the back!"

Turner asked worriedly, but Reyoz sneered, "If you want to eat me, you have to have a good mouth!" ”

Turner couldn't convince Reyoz, so he resigned to his fate. He was terribly scared in his heart, because from his experience, at this time, ninety percent of the flagship would be sunk by the other party.

The order was given, and the first ten fourth-class battleships of the Dutch fleet continued to advance, but slowed down. The more than ninety cruisers in the rear were ordered to turn eastward, preparing to outflank the Pacific Fleet from the left flank.

Here, on the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, Shi Jianfei just sneered after receiving the report from the Dutch fleet.

"Lose the car and protect the handsome!"

Shen Yanghao nodded and said, "This old man seems to be different from the rumors, but he also has two brushes!" ”

Shi Jianfei said with a smile: "Since he gave us the car to eat, then let's laugh and accept it!" ”

"It's a car!" Shen Yanghao said with a smile: "These ten battleships in front belong to the category of fourth-class battleships, with fifty guns, it will be very beneficial for us to defeat him in the future!" ”

Shi Jianfei nodded and said, "There are only fifty cannons, which is six fewer than our Beiyun level!" ”

Shen Yanghao rolled his eyes, he knew that Shi Jianfei was talking the opposite, what he really meant was that there were ten more cannons than the dolphin level, and he would suffer a lot of losses if he started a battle.

While talking and laughing, it was already 800 meters close to the enemy ship.

"The Sixth Sentai is inconvenient to maintain speed and course, seize the 'T' prefix of the enemy's East Turkistan Fleet, wait for the opportunity to fight, and cover the flank of the main fleet!"

"The other five teams immediately turned 90 degrees to the right and met the enemy with a 'T' cross, and they must take out the opponent's flagship!"

When the order was issued, the first five squadrons of the Pacific Fleet quickly made a right turn maneuver, and when they looked down from the air, five huge "L" shapes suddenly formed. The 6th Sentai continued to maintain the same speed and went to intercept the Dutch fleet in East Turkistan.

"Port side artillery fire ready!"

The ships of the Pacific Ocean quickly crossed each other, with five parallel shapes, which evolved into a huge straight line, and greeted the ten battleships of the Dutch fleet in a "T" position.

As the port side gun door opened, the black muzzle of a door was quickly aimed at the flagship of the Dutch fleet.

The first round of artillery bombardment all locked on the flagship of the Dutch fleet, which was a death order given to them by Shi Jianfei, and the sinking of the flagship of the Dutch fleet was the first achievement, and the officers and men of the whole fleet were gearing up.

"Ready—"

The commander of the guns raised the red flag with his left hand, took a sharp breath, put the whistle to his mouth with his right hand, and quietly watched the changes in the waves.

A wave hit, and as the port side was raised, the gun commander whistled violently, and at the same time ordered the flag to fall.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

……

The order was given step by step, and the fifty cruisers of the whole fleet fired a salvo of fire almost simultaneously, and the twenty cannons on the port side of each ship opened fire in turn. Suddenly, the roar of a thousand cannons was like a thunderbolt from the sky. In an instant, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, covering the sky and the sun.

A thousand shells weighing eighteen kilograms roared towards Reyoz's flagship, the Narro, and in an instant, countless columns of water soared into the sky. Fifty or sixty shells hit the Narro directly, and in an instant, the Narro was hit one after another on the port side and the upper and lower decks, turning it into a hornet's nest in an instant, with heavy casualties.

The hot shells pierced directly through the hull, and the hard oak was instantly shattered and splashed everywhere. The violent friction caused the wooden hull to emit thick green smoke, and soon the high temperature ignited the fine wood chips in the air, and suddenly the smoke was filled with gunpowder, and the fire was flying. More than a dozen shells hit the waterline directly, piercing through seven or eight holes of various sizes, and the sea water quickly poured into it, and the Narro immediately tilted and sank.

Rayoz was forced onto the deck by Turner, who used his body to block the flying debris, and the pain in his back was excruciating.
