"Still want to run?"

Now that Shi Lang is furious, where will these Spanish warships easily escape?

The three giant ships in the back pursued with all their might, and the warships on both sides were directly outflanked, constantly approaching the Spanish warships, and it was difficult to completely shake off the Ming fleet!

Now the distance is getting closer and closer, especially the power of the bow gun has also been revealed, but the number of bow guns is too small after all, the three giant ships, the bow guns together, are only twelve, and they are fighting accurately, a wave of shells, being able to hit two rounds is already very high accuracy, such a little shell, even if it is powerful, is still a little too little.

"Command, pull all our rockets up and start attacking!"

Shi Lang shouted sharply, at this time, the offshore fleet will no longer keep its hands and attack with all its might!

Artillery and rockets are all attacking!

Carlos's fleet couldn't hold it when it landed, and the rockets landed on the warship, so it caught fire everywhere, it was terrible!

Run!

Carlos fled frantically with the fleet, and he didn't dare to fight at all, such a powerful firepower and hit accuracy, even if the strength of his fleet was tripled, it might not be someone's opponent, so it was the best policy!

Shi Lang chased after him, and did not wipe out the Spaniards in one fell swoop, and all of them returned!

In seven days, Carlos ran back to Manzanillo from the coast of Santiago in one go, and along the way, he lost seven or eight ships and gunboats, and returned to the port of Manzanillo with only three ships!

"General Shi Lang, this is already Spain-controlled Mexico! In this land, the Spaniards have at least twenty or thirty thousand troops, scattered on this land, and the Manzanillo that we are about to arrive at is the largest military port of the Spaniards on the west coast of the continent, and we are afraid that we will not have enough strength to take this military port......"

Wu Xing said astringently.

Shi Lang shouted: "Can't take the military port? Even if he can't take the military port, Lao Tzu will destroy all this fleet! This hatred is not shared! ”

Carlos returned to the port of Manzanillo and pulled out all his fleet in one go, with more than thirty large and small warships, as well as two main warships of the Spanish fleet, his strength was really good, and with all the warships at present, Carlos finally had confidence in his heart.

"Damn, all of them will attack, this time, we must destroy all the fleets of the Ming army!"

Carlos was angry, more than a dozen warships pursued, and three of them came back, and two of them had completely lost their combat power, this wave of attack made the Ming army fight too badly, this field must be recovered!

More than thirty battleships all pounced.

Wu Xing saw it clearly, the fleet, the Spanish fleet, this fleet is too far behind the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty, but Shi Lang is not the first fleet or the second fleet, can he beat others? After all, Shi Lang only has seventeen or eighteen ships, and the number is only half of the others!

"General Shi, how is it? Can you beat it? If we can't beat it, then we will immediately retreat, return to the Ming Empire, and take revenge, ten years is not too late, we will mobilize the main fleet and swallow them all in one go! ”

Shi Lang sneered: "Why can't you beat it?" Isn't it just more than 30 warships, their warships are not large, and the largest is the same as our heaven-class warships. ”

Shi Lang's face was cold, and he looked coldly at the Spanish fleet in the distance.

Dozens of Spanish battleships lined up in two columns and rushed towards the flank of the Ming fleet, it was obvious that this was to use side guns to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, more than thirty battleships, which was already almost all the warships that could be assembled on the west coast of Mexico, more than thirty warships, equipped with more than five hundred guns, and the number of artillery was more than one-third more than that of the Ming fleet!

Carlos wanted to use powerful side guns to respond to the battle, avoid the most powerful bow guns of the Ming warships, launch an attack from the flank, and crush the Ming fleet in one fell swoop!

A sneer hung on the corner of Shi Lang's mouth, wanting to suppress us with the number of artillery? Okay, come on!

The command flag in Shi Lang's hand continued to wave, the three main battleships began to move backwards, the bow gun and the stern gun all turned the direction, the bow gun and the stern gun are all installed on the iron pedestal, which can be transferred 360 degrees in one side, and at the same time, the muzzle can also move up and down 30 degrees, flexible and flexible, and the firing direction and angle can be adjusted at any time.

The main battleship retreated two miles, forming two columns with more than a dozen small battleships in front, and it was more than four miles away from the battleships of the Spanish fleet.

However, the distance of four miles, for the bow guns and stern guns of the main battleship, it is not affected at all, and it still maintains a strong combat power, as for the small and medium-sized warships in front, although the number of guns has suffered, but each battleship is equipped with a large number of rockets, and now the distance is within two miles, completely within the range of the rocket, the artillery and the rocket attack at the same time, and the firepower is even higher than that of the Spanish fleet!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

With the sound of artillery guns, the two sides started a fierce artillery bombardment!

A shell fell on the opponent's warship, even if these warships are not very tall, for solid shells, if you want to sink a warship, it is not so easy, after all, twenty catties of cannonballs smashed down, that is, a large crater, as long as you do not concentrate on the side of the ship below the waterline, the destructive power of the warship is limited, for a moment or three, no one can drink anyone, but for rockets and flowering cannons, it is different.

Rockets are specially used to set fires, these warships are not the main warships of Spain, their combat power is limited, whether it is offensive or defensive capabilities, they are far inferior to the main warships of the Spanish main fleet, and it is not so easy to extinguish them quickly.

As for the flowering guns, the bow guns and stern guns of the three capital battleships combined, more than twenty guns, at a distance of four miles, the threat to the Spanish warships was too great!

A volley of shells whistled in the air, flew towards the battleship, and landed on the Spanish battleship, and it only took three shells to sink the small Spanish battleship, and even the largest flagship would definitely not be able to stop the simultaneous bombardment of more than a dozen flowering shells!

One warship after another was hit by the flowering cannon, which directly blew up the cabin, and then the battle was blazing, and if you were unlucky, you were hit by the ammunition depot, then the warship was directly blown in two!
