Blake's face turned red, he originally wanted to let the French fleet fight, but he didn't expect to be pushed back by the French.

Molde said very clearly, if the landing operation, the French will not give in, rush to the front, now it is a naval battle, people are not willing to come forward, give the first credit to the British, why, boast so much, when the matter comes, they will shrink their hands?

Blake snorted coldly: "If you go to war, you will fight, what's the big deal, do you think that the fleet of our Kingdom of England will still be afraid of a small fortress?" Flags, orders, the English fleet went to battle and took down the Ming army battery group in front of you! ”

At the sound of an order, the British fleet began to rush towards the battery group in the distance again!

Almost a nest dispatch, Blake is very smart, if you want to destroy the Ming army's battery group, then you must use the most powerful strength, a hundred warships at the same time to attack the Ming army's battery group, but to see if the Ming army's battery group can support it!

On the fort, Lu Mingting was still taken aback, he didn't expect that as soon as the Western devils came up, they dispatched so many warships, even if the Portuguese warships were the main warships, the size was the appearance of the heaven-class battleships and the ground-level battleships, not all the main battleships were the same size, the main ones who liked the giant ships were the Spaniards, the British and the French, and even the Dutch were not very keen on the giant ships.

Now as soon as the fleet of England comes up, the momentum is obviously much stronger than that of the Portuguese, fifty main warships, the average size is larger than the flagship of the Portuguese battleships, as for the auxiliary warships, they are also not small, they are really about to catch up with the Ming army's ground-class warships, hundreds of warships rushed over together, and the momentum is terrifying!

Rao is Lu Mingting is a fierce general in the army, and he couldn't help but gasp!

"Grandma's! Lord Lu, it seems that Inspector Shi didn't lie to us, this Western giant ship is really not ordinarily big, you see, there are at least thirty or forty warships larger than our Tian-class battleships! ”

Du Jiucheng, a guerrilla general on the side, smiled bitterly.

"So what?"

Lu Mingting snorted coldly, "Before the big war, Lord Tan had already told us about the difficulty of this war, but now that Xu Butang has arrived in Malacca, and our three major fleets have also arrived, the big deal is that the fish die and the net is broken, even if the battery group falls, we have to knock off the full mouth of the Western fleet!" Pass the order down, mobilize all the artillery, prepare to return fire, and also, the rocket battalion is ready to participate in the battle, today we are going to give the Western Fleet a dismount first! ”

The British fleet came up quickly, this time Blake personally went out and commanded the fleet to fight, hundreds of warships spread out on the sea, in an arc towards the battery group to surround it, and soon arrived at a position less than five miles away from the core area of the battery, it was in this position that the Portuguese naval guns could not exert the maximum power, so they had to continue to move the fleet forward, but their shells were able to hit the battery, but the fierce fire of the battery was caught off guard, and they returned!

Blake frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Order, the fleet continues to advance, while advancing, carry out artillery bombardment, suppress the artillery fire of the Ming army with the bow gun, advance to within three miles, and launch a covering artillery bombardment with the side guns, don't be stingy with shells, as soon as you come up, saturate me with an attack, I will raze the Ming army batteries directly to the ground!" ”

The British fleet moved forward again and fired at the same time, but the Western warships were rarely equipped with bow guns, and most of the battles between the two sides were flanked in order to give full play to the maximum firepower of the battleships.

However, even if it is these two or three hundred guns, it also brings a certain threat to the battery, and one shell after another falls from the sky and smashes near the battery, the solid bullet is good to say, at most it is dusty, but the flowering shell is different, the explosion will cause damage within ten zhang!

Fortunately, the distance was too far now, the British battleships were jolting at sea, and the crosshairs of the ship's guns were too poor, and the chances of accurately hitting the batteries were too small.

The British fleet launched an attack, and the Ming battery was also not to be outdone, and began a frantic counterattack, and a shell smashed down on the British battleship, blowing up the sea into a monstrous wave, running and smashing on the battleship, the same gunsmoke was everywhere, and the war was raging!

This time, the battery used not only the shore defense artillery, but also the artillery battalion of the newly formed Nanyang Army, which was condescending, and could still easily hit the shells six miles away, which could completely cover the British fleet, and the shore defense artillery plus field guns exceeded a hundred!

The two sides were a few miles away, and began a fierce battle, shells came and went, Blake looked coldly at the Ming army battery in front, and secretly sneered in his heart, sure enough, the Ming army was hiding its strength, when the Portuguese attacked, they only used only fifty or sixty shore defense guns, and now there are dozens of field guns into battle, and the firepower is at least half higher than before, but even if the firepower is increased by half, we have hundreds of warships, and more than a thousand artillery pieces can be used, this time attack, Even if you can't destroy your forts, you'll be skinned!

Blake ordered the flag soldiers to continue to convey the order, and the battleship continued to advance, and finally within three miles, the battleship began to move direction, aiming the side guns at the Ming army's battery group!

It's just that what Blake didn't expect was that the battleships of the fleet had not completely turned their bows, and a new round of offensive by the Ming army was coming, this time, not only artillery, but also rockets!

The rocket battalions hidden behind the batteries were all pulled out, and three rocket battalions with more than ninety rockets attacked at the same time as the artillery!

Rockets and artillery at the same time with a huge whistling sound, flew to the British fleet, only less than three miles away, this distance is too close, for the rifled artillery and rockets, the hit rate increased sharply, a shell and rocket accurately hit the British battleship, immediately set off a violent explosion, the rocket is fire everywhere, above the sea, the instant flames!

"Fack!"

Blake was stunned, patronizing the defensive artillery, but he didn't expect that they still had a large number of rocket troops hidden, the rockets whistling in the sky, with a blazing tail flame, as if the fire god was possessed, fire everywhere, what kind of warship can't stand the fire!

"Quick, get ready to put out the fire! Fight back! Fight back! ”

Blake roared angrily!
