Now on the sea, the Spanish fleet is surrounded by the Ming fleet, the strength is close to three to one, the artillery of the Ming army is extremely strong, and there are rockets to help, the Spanish fleet is unlucky this time, you can't run if you want to, three sides are outflanked by the Ming fleet, constantly launching attacks, small auxiliary warships, only ten shells can sink it, as for the main battleship, it can be sunk by only twenty or thirty shells, the distance between the two sides is only two miles, and the rifled gun hit rate is as high as more than 15 percent, Where will the Spanish fleet be able to parry?

In just the first quarter of an hour, it brought heavy damage to the Spaniards, at least twenty warships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the Spanish fleet turned around and ran, but at this time, the Ming fleet on both wings had been outflanked in place, and even several heaven-class warships began to encircle the back of the Spanish fleet, and it was not so easy for the Spanish fleet to run!

Boness had already knelt on the ground, desperately praying to God that they would escape from the ascension, the Portuguese fleet, come quickly, help us, even if you can't defeat the Ming army, as long as you can get the Spanish main fleet out of danger......

However, it was more than fifty miles from the Portuguese coast, where could the Portuguese fleet find the battlefield here? Even if it was discovered, in the face of such a huge Ming fleet, the Portuguese fleet would definitely not dare to show its face......

The battle lasted less than an hour, and the Spanish fleet was completely defeated, at least more than forty battleships were sunk, and twenty or thirty were heavily damaged, left on the sea, and could only wait for death.

Chabolt showed no mercy to the remnants of the encircled Spanish army, and with a single artillery, the remaining twenty or thirty heavily damaged battleships all sank into the sea, and the fleet continued to advance in the direction of Portugal!

This location is less than 200 miles away from the port of Lisbon in Portugal, which is only a few hours for the fleet, and that night, the Ming fleet came to the port of Lisbon, which is the capital of the Kingdom of Portugal and an important commercial city in Europe in the seventeenth century.

Lisbon port, the huge lighthouse stands in the distance, as the capital and commercial center of the Kingdom of Portugal, four huge batteries, also stand high, the Kingdom of Portugal has deployed nearly 100 coastal defense guns here, although these coastal defense guns are smoothbore guns, with solid shells, but huge shells, can also pose a huge threat to the giant ship, no fleet here dare to underestimate the city defense of Lisbon.

On the lighthouse, a few sentinels looked into the distance boredly, over the years, the Western mainland, especially on the land, rarely had large-scale wars, especially now Portugal has declined, the Kingdom of Spain is even more afraid to provoke other powers, other powers compete for hegemony at sea, and they are not willing to provoke this toothless tiger, it is not a wise move to set up an enemy in vain, it is now that Lisbon's city defense is a little slack.

In the midst of boredom, suddenly a sentry's eyes widened!

"Fernandez, Fernández, look, look into the distance!"

The other sentry complained, "Coelho, what are you doing?" What's going on in the distance? ”

"Fleet, fleet! A huge fleet! It's rushing towards our port! ”

"What a huge fleet," exclaimed Coelho, "less than ten miles away!" ”

It was late at night, the light was dim, and by the light of the lanterns on the lighthouse, the sentries could only see more than ten miles, and no matter how far they went, they could not see anything, and by the time a few people found the fleet, the fleet had already advanced to a position less than ten miles from the port.

Fernández also discovered the fleet, it was too dark, I don't know which country's fleet it is, and I don't know if it's friend or foe!

"Quick, shake the lantern and ask for the other person's identity! Send a message to the battery immediately, there is an unknown fleet approaching the port! ”

Fernández, the leader of several sentinels, shouted when he realized that something was wrong.

It's just that after the signal was sent, a signal was also sent from the opposite side - "The combined fleet has returned victoriously, and the Dutch fleet and the Spanish fleet have returned first, and they will stay in Lisbon for one night!" ”

Fernandez's heart was immediately steady, the Dutch fleet and the Spanish fleet had returned, and now it was time for the five countries to form an alliance, and no one would be angry at this time, and once the allies were attacked, it would cause public anger.

Fernandez smiled: "Okay, it's the Dutch fleet and the Spanish fleet, there is no danger, tomorrow they will leave Lisbon, pass the word, let the two fleets dock!" ”

The order was delivered, and after only a few moments, the Ming fleet slowly came to the shore, and it was only a hundred and ten steps away from the dock......

"That's not right!"

Fernandez has been staying at the lighthouse, using a lantern to guide the fleet to dock to the dock, and gradually the fleet is getting closer, Fernandez finally saw clearly, this is not the Dutch fleet and the Spanish fleet at all, in the Western Ocean, Spain and the Netherlands are both maritime powers, the warships of the two countries are almost the same as the Portuguese warships, it is easy to identify, the size and structure of these giant ships are very different from the Western warships, and, most importantly, there are no flags of Western countries on the battleships, This is not the Dutch fleet and the Spanish fleet, with the yellow dragon flag floating on it!

"It's not good, we're fooled, this is the fleet of the Ming Empire, not the fleet of the Western Ocean, quickly, send a signal to the battery, prepare for battle!"

Fernandez's words fell, and the sentries around him began to shake the lantern desperately!

However, the lantern had just shaken a few times, and gunfire rang out above the battleship.

Cha Bolt himself, holding a firing pin rifle in his hand, fired at the soldiers on the lighthouse, only three shots, three sentries fell headlong, died, at the same time, the Ming army's troop transport began to quickly approach the dock, a distance of one hundred and ten steps, only half a minute, it landed, and one by one Tianxiong soldiers began to rush to the dock!

At this time, on the huge lighthouse, Fernández lay down below, not even daring to show his head, the opponent's marksmanship was too accurate, three shots, he killed his three subordinates, if he showed his head, it would also be difficult to escape death......

At this time, groups of Tianxiong troops began to rush to the dock, and immediately launched an attack on the batteries on both sides!
