The blue sea is calm, and more than a dozen white-gray seagulls glide lazily against the sea, carefully observing the movement on the sea.

Suddenly, the seagulls that were originally gliding unhurriedly on the surface of the sea suddenly let out a few sharp cries in unison, and then began to climb rapidly and fly towards the northeast, and soon a row of small black dots appeared in the northeast direction, and slowly a row of masts also appeared on the surface of the sea.

A fleet of only three warships appeared on the sea, consisting of a 1,100-ton Spanish galleon and two 600-ton Galen ships, led by a Spanish galleon named "Awe". Colonel Ainsworth stood quietly on the galleon, looking at the seagulls flying over his head in front of him, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. As a rising star of the Royal Spanish Navy, Colonel Caleb was confident in his mission, leading three powerful warships to play a guest role as a pirate at sea, a task that was so simple that he didn't even bother to do it.

Ever since he turned his face with Yue Yang, Antony has been holding back his strength to give him a good look. In his opinion, Yue Yang was able to defeat the hillbilly of Holland only because of his luck and his own help, otherwise how could he have the ability to occupy the southern part of Dayuan so quickly. But this guy didn't know how grateful he was, and he even clamored to bring the entire Daguan into his arms, which was too unknowing, in order to let him know the power of the Spanish Empire, Antony decided to send a small fleet to attack at sea, and destroy the sea communication line from the Ming Dynasty to the Dayuan, in order to force Yue Yang to submit.

Carol ...... Carol ......"

"Oh...... Here it comes...... ......Soon, a man in a red-gray military uniform with a rosacea nose and a beard ran up to Caleb and saluted, "Lieutenant Colonel Caleb, what are your orders?" ”

Caleb had already smelled the faint smell of wine wafting from the front at this time, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Captain Taylor, are you sure that this route is the only way for Daming to reach the Great Staff?" ”

"There can be no mistake with the lieutenant colonel." Captain Taylor patted his chest and said, "I've been on this route several times, and I'm very familiar with it. It is indeed the passage between the Ming Dynasty and the Daren. ”

"But why have we been wandering around here for two days without even finding a boat?"

"I don't know." Captain Taylor shook his big, red nose and said helplessly, "This is something that only God can decide. ”

Caleb said coldly: "This is indeed something that only God can decide, but it is a military rule of the Royal Spanish Navy that you cannot drink alcohol during the mission, and I hope you can abide by this, and if I find out that you have delayed my order because of drinking, I will drop you on the mast to taste the Spanish military regulations." ”

"You're not going to have this chance...... Mr. Lieutenant Colonel. Captain Taylor grinned nonchalantly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Let's go down!" Caleb resisted the disgust in his heart and waved his hand for him to go down.

"This hillbilly who only drinks."

"This boy who can only play prestige."

As Taylor turned, the two men spat out sounds that only they could hear at the same time.

Perhaps Caleb's threat came into play, and soon the sound of a lookout came from the back mast.

"Discover the ship...... Quantity...... Two ships! ”

"What...... Finally found a merchant ship! Caleb's spirit was suddenly shocked, "Quick...... Hurry up and lean in! ”

The two opposing fleets soon approached. The lookout on the mast began to report again: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the opposite side is not a merchant ship but a Ming warship, the scale is about a thousand tons, and the number of artillery is unknown!" They showed no signs of evasion, and they were still coming like us! ”

"Battleship? It just so happens that I'm not very interested in merchant ships, and only the annihilation of the Ming warships can show the strength of the Royal Navy of the Spanish Empire. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Caleb, who had long been able to see clearly from the clairvoyant, sneered: "In that case, don't blame us for being polite, and order the fleet to set up a longitudinal formation and plug in." ”

Soon, three Spanish warships used the Spanish galleon as arrows and slashed diagonally towards the Ming ships in front.

Lieutenant Colonel Caleb's actions naturally could not hide from the two Ming warships in front, and the sailor in charge of the lookout raised the alarm loudly: "My lord." Three ships on the opposite side are rushing towards us! ”

"What's going on? Why did the Spanish ships rush towards us? ”

At this time, a man in an official robe standing on the deck was none other than Chen Zhenhui, who was the judge of Weihai Weitong at the time. This time, Chen Zhenhui took two newly launched fourth-class warships to transport a batch of supplies to Geranza City, accompanied by a group of important people, these people were none other than others. It is Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan and Wang Yue who are thoughtful.

It turned out that the conversation of Dong Xiaowan's three daughters was heard by Zhu Yujiao that day, and the soft-hearted Zhu Yujiao heard the three daughters' hearts and wanted to fulfill them, so she called Chen Zhenhui and Mao Xiang and others. As a princess, let Chen Zhenhui send the three daughters to Dayuan and Yueyang for reunion. At first, the three daughters naturally didn't dare, but they couldn't withstand Zhu Yujiao's persuasion, and the three daughters could only "give in" half-pushed and half-pushed in the end. Unexpectedly, he encountered three Spanish warships led by Lieutenant Commander Caleb in the middle of the road.

Although Chen Zhenhui is the largest official on these two ships, he is a civilian official and knows nothing about naval warfare, and the person in charge of the actual command is a thousand general manager named Lin Xiang, only to see Lin Xiang say to Chen Zhenhui a little anxiously: "Lord Chen, it seems that these Spaniards are not good, we have to be prepared, otherwise we will have to suffer later!" ”

Chen Zhenhui said to Lin Xiang with a solemn expression: "Lord Lin, the war is your business, I can't control it, but you have to ensure that this ship is safely sailed to the master, otherwise if you let the Hou Ye's family be damaged here, you and I will die without redemption, do you know?" ”

Lin Xiang nodded solemnly: "Your Excellency, rest assured, even if you die, you have to protect the safety of Lord Hou's family, but the battlefield is unpredictable, if you die first, Lord Chen must be prepared for the next thing." ”

Chen Zhenhui took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "I naturally know about this matter, you just need to do your part, and the rest of the officials will do it." ”

After saying that, Chen Zhenhui turned around and walked towards the cabin...... (To be continued......)
