Chapter 1458: Unlucky Englishman

The corners of Zheng Chenggong's mouth twitched, this Qin Inspector in front of him was really fatal, he didn't care about anything as soon as he started a fight, but don't go to the Xianzhi Lord to pit him......

Zheng Cai said in a deep voice: "Order, the left and right flank fleets change course, quickly interspersed in the southwest and northwest directions, and form a flanking trend for the fleet on the west side, the front army and the Chinese army mobilized the main warships, approached the western fleet at full speed, and launched an attack with the bow gun, in order to wipe it out in one fell swoop, and more than a dozen merchant ships, all of which were sunk by him!" ”

With the swing of the flag, the Second Fleet moved, although the current Second Fleet only left the front army and the Chinese army, and there were only dozens of warships, but to deal with the caravan in front of them, it couldn't be simpler, as long as the two wings of the fleet were outflanked in place, then they would be dead!

To the west, the English caravan also discovered the Ming fleet at the same time.

Soros, the leader of the caravan, rubbed his eyes fiercely, God, this is the fleet of the Ming Empire, how did they come here, this is already the hinterland of the South Seas, is it really going to war, the former, I have heard that the emperor of the Ming Empire is angry like thunder for the matter of Fushou Ointment, so the unlucky Westerners have more than hundreds of people, all of them have lost their heads, they are also foreigners, and they have also been to get Fushou Ointment, specially, I can't afford to provoke this group of uncles, Lao Tzu's caravan was escorted by a total of two small gunboats, which were not enough to stuff people's teeth, run!

"Quick, wave the flag, the fleet will immediately turn around, return, don't go to Luzon, hurry up!"

Soros roared.

The flag soldiers on the side were still a little confused, and said in amazement: "Mr. Soros, don't you go to Luzon?" Two-thirds of the cargo in our fleet is to be unloaded on Luzon! ”

"You know!"

Soros roared sharply: "If we are surrounded by the Ming fleet, all our goods will have to be unloaded in the sea, run!" It's slow, and our lives are estimated to be enough! ”

Soros has been operating on the sea for more than 30 years, what wind and waves have not been seen, at this time, the risk is very high, and it must not be seen with the Ming fleet, once encountered, it is not or, it can't be shaken off, the military aircraft is a priority, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked, and the Ming army can let itself go safely?

The herald, hurriedly waving the order flag, began to give orders, ordering all the merchant ships to start thinking about retreating behind, one by one the merchant ships began to stop moving forward, turned around, and prepared to run back, but, above the sea, where is it so easy to turn around, these merchant ships are not small, loaded with a large number of goods, turn around, it takes time.

The fleets on the left and right flanks were already rapidly approaching, advancing at full speed, slamming into the back of the Soros caravan, and as for the main warships of the front army and the Chinese army, they were rushing straight at full speed and launched an attack on the front of the caravan!

The bow guns of the main battleships were all rifled guns, and the firing range could reach more than eight miles, and seven or eight battleships, almost at the same time, began to shell, and shells smashed towards the merchant ships!

Soros was a little foggy in his head, and he started shelling so far away? Are these generals of the Ming fleet crazy? Three nautical miles away, they dare to carry out artillery bombardment directly, but they are afraid that the shells will not even touch the edge of the caravan!

"Quick, leave the battleship behind you, turn around and move forward at full speed, retreat, retreat!"

When Soros was roaring, the cannonballs had already fallen overhead, and seven or eight battleships, firing thirty shells at the same time, all fell in the ranks of the caravan, and at least ten guns fell on the merchant ships!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The cannonballs fell down, and the explosion shook the heavens and the earth, and many sailors were even thrown into the sea directly by the explosion, and the merchant ship was filled with gunsmoke in an instant, and the fire burned!!

"No, no!"

Soros felt that it was dark in front of him, and almost fell off the watchtower, this caravan was carrying more than a million taels of silver, which was worth a lot of money, if it was all buried here, he couldn't afford to lose his family!

It's just that now Soros is roaring, and it's useless, after the first wave of shelling, followed by a steady stream of shelling, in just a quarter of an hour, at least more than 100 shells were fired, blowing up the merchant ships to the ground, and some small merchant ships were even directly broken by the shells and sank to the bottom of the sea!

"Hurry up, retreat at full speed, retreat!"

Soros roared in despair, "Damn the yellow pig of the Ming Dynasty, as long as Lao Tzu or return to India, he will definitely let the Governor send a fleet to encircle and suppress you!" ”

Back in India? I'm afraid that Soros no longer has such a life, although the Ming fleet behind did not chase closer and closer, but the flanking fleets on both sides are indeed in place, and one by one the battleships have begun to open the gun doors on the side chord, revealing the black hole of the muzzle!

Boom Boom Boom ......

This time, more artillery was put into the shelling, and more than 20 battleships and nearly 200 broadside guns began a frantic shelling, and one shell after another smashed over!

Soros was completely dumbfounded, and at this time he roared angrily: "Quick, quick, hang the white flag, surrender, surrender!" We're not running anymore! ”

What a? Surrounded by people on all sides, if you want to rush out of the encirclement of dozens of warships, not to mention their twenty or so merchant ships, even if it is twenty warships, there is not much possibility......

However, apparently it was too late at this time, shells were falling from all directions, and each wave of attack required more than three hundred shells, where could Soros's twenty merchant ships withstand such a fierce shelling? In the blink of an eye, half of the merchant ships have sunk into the sea!

Obviously, Qin Mufeng and Zheng Cai didn't plan to stay alive, if they wanted to start, they had to be neat, anyway, the English people did not harm the people of the Ming Dynasty in this Fushou Paste incident, and this time it was even if they charged interest!

The Ming fleet didn't care whether to hang the white flag or not, the firepower was even more fierce, kill!

In just half an hour, all 20 merchant ships were destroyed, and one by one the merchant ships gradually disappeared and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Qin Mufeng stood on the watchtower, nodded slightly, and shouted: "Yu Gong, give the order to the battleship in front, carefully clean the battlefield, don't leave trouble, after a quarter of an hour, immediately change the course and rush to Palawan Island with all your might!" ”
