Hundreds of warships against fifty warships, if the First Fleet can't have the absolute upper hand in this situation, then Zheng Haotian, the admiral, should jump into the sea.

The main battleship of the Ming fleet is indeed not as large as the main battleship of England, and it is only similar to the main battleship of the Netherlands, but the small size does not mean that the combat power is weak, even if the number of artillery is not as good as the level of Western warships, but compared to the power of artillery, it is indeed far better than Western warships, and now Zhu Jie has begun to change his thinking to the iron ship cannon, by increasing the power of the flowering bullet gunpowder, increasing the hit rate and effective range to enhance the power of the battleship, the application of rifled naval guns, has been reloaded technology, The artillery of the Ming army has really surpassed the Western artillery technology for at least 30 years, at least, Western countries want to popularize the technology of breech-loading rifled guns, there is no 30 years can not be done, not only the gap in technology, but also the gap in artificial concepts.

The battleships of the First Fleet rushed up one by one, and the distance between them and the Portuguese battleships became closer and closer, although the Portuguese artillery also began to be able to threaten the Ming warships, but the threat brought by the solid bullet to the main battleship of the Ming army was far less than the threat brought by the flowering bomb to the Portuguese battleship!

With the size of the Ming battleship, without dozens of shells directly hitting, it is impossible to sink the Ming battleship at all, but for the Ming battleship, ten flowering shells are enough to kill the Portuguese battleship, and the violent explosion is not at all what the wooden battleship of this era can resist, not to mention that there are countless rockets on the Ming battleship to participate in the battle!

"Retreat! Retreat with all your might, don't fall in love with the battle! ”

By this time, Christoan had fully understood that the gap between the combat power of the two sides was too big, not to mention that he only had forty or fifty warships, even if it was more than a hundred warships, and he was definitely not an opponent in the face of the main fleet of the Ming army, the artillery and rockets of the Ming army were too powerful, and they were not at all comparable to the Portuguese fleet.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming fleet did not encircle the Portuguese fleet, Christoan led the Portuguese fleet to the northwest and began a frantic retreat, trying to throw the First Fleet away.

However, where is it so easy to get rid of the huge First Fleet behind you?

Although the Ming fleet is not surrounded by the Portuguese fleet now, but more than 100 warships are lined up in two columns on the sea, arranged in parallel, and the Portuguese fleet side by side, the Strait of Malacca, there is not much wide, now the Portuguese fleet is completely blocked by the Ming army in the southern half of the strait, the Portuguese warships can only break through to the northwest, the rest of the south is land, the east is the fortress battery group of the Ming army, the north is blocked by the first fleet, only the west can sail, but, instead, All the warships of the First Fleet are also moving to the west, and the Portuguese fleet wants to get rid of the warships of the Ming army, unless the speed is faster than that of the First Fleet, but most of the battleships of the Portuguese fleet are old ships, and the sails on the battleships have also been damaged by rockets and artillery.

Christoan is now driven by the Ming army to the sky and no way to enter the ground, he has already repented of his intestines, why did he promise Troppe to stay and continue to contain the Ming army in Malacca? Why did you want to run to the harbor of Rupa Island without dying? Why do you have to occupy the fortress of Dumai?

As long as you don't enter between Dumai Fortress and Rupa Island, even if the First Fleet wants to attack itself, you can find it in advance, and then escape, now it's okay, it's completely blocked, this way of attacking, looking at this, if you want to get rid of the Ming army, you have to have at least three or four hours to reach the wide sea area, otherwise, you can only flee in one direction, and you can only withstand wave after wave of fierce attacks by the Ming army!

Don't say three or four hours, even if you continue to fight for another hour or two, your own Portuguese fleet will be completely wiped out, and not a single battleship will be able to leave Malacca safely!

It's time for a strong man to break his wrist, otherwise, he really won't be able to live!

"Nanis, the herald, order the left flank fleet and the forward fleet to immediately break away from the main team, diagonally to the north, block the course of the Ming army's march, block the entanglement of the Ming army, and the rest of the battleships retreat in the southwest direction! Fast! ”

Kslidoan shouted.

Nanis was shocked and said urgently: "General, you want to use the left flank and the forward to block the Ming fleet?" Then there will be no one left of these warships and soldiers, all of them will die here, and there will be no hope of escape at all! ”

Christoan said sharply: "Nonsense, sacrificing the left wing and the forward, at least our Chinese army and right wing may escape alive, otherwise, everyone will be doomed!" We will definitely not be able to rush out, you look at this sea, we are completely blocked in this narrow sea area, we can't get rid of the entanglement of the Ming fleet at all, it won't take two hours, we will be completely annihilated, all annihilated! At this time, we must show the courage to survive with a broken arm! ”

Nanis said abruptly: "General, how long do you think the left wing and the forward can stop people?" They are two columns, even if they can stop one of them, the outer column will also quickly detour, we can't escape at all, even if we escape, I'm afraid that the battleship will not survive, especially the nearly 10,000 soldiers of our fleet, all of them will be water ghosts! ”

Christopher was relieved of despair, Nanis was right, the current situation is too grim, it is simply a desperate situation, if it is a collision on the opposite side, you can escape at full speed if you can't beat it, but in the narrow Strait of Malacca, the two sides are actually fighting in parallel, how can you get rid of the opponent?

"What then? If we continue to fight, we will all die! ”

Christoan shouted.

"Surrender! Surrender! ”

Nanis said in a low voice: "General Christoan, we Portugal are a small country, even if the coalition wins, how much benefit do you think we can share in the end?" Even if you share the benefits, do you think you can hold on to the persecution of Spain, the Netherlands, and England? It's better to surrender, although surrender, our fleet will not be able to keep, but at least these thousands of naval officers and men will be saved, as long as there are people, the navy can be rebuilt, but if there are no people, Portugal will never turn over......"
