It's just that at this time, when the sails are full and run again, there is still no time, and some sailors have even gone ashore and are resting on the island.

A terrible whistle sounded, and the sailors on the island raised their heads one by one in amazement, looking at the fleet not far away, and the sails on the direct battleship had begun to rise towards it at the fastest speed!

There is a case!

The sailors reacted and ran in the direction of the fleet.

However, it was already too late, Christoan couldn't wait, roared and ordered the fleet to set sail immediately, at this time, it is the most important thing to be able to keep the battleship, as for these sailors, it is a big deal that all of them are captured, at least there is still hope of survival, if the fleet is surrounded and annihilated, then everything is over!

The Portuguese fleet set sail in the shortest possible time, after all, it is still inferior to the first fleet, the first fleet has been rushing at full speed, but the Portuguese fleet needs to have an acceleration process, not to mention that the fleets are parked at the harbor of the island, and if they want to evacuate, they have to wait until the warships in the distance are evacuated before they can come out one by one,!

By the time the Portuguese fleet had just completed the whole team and had not yet sailed away from Rupa Island, the Ming fleet was no longer enough to sail away from the Portuguese fleet, and the Portuguese fleet set sail and retreated urgently to the west, and the Ming fleet had already gone straight up from the flanks and rear!

The two fleets formed a parallel situation, Zheng Haotian's face was full of coldness, and now it was time to collect interest!

"Order, all battleships, go on the offensive and launch a covering artillery bombardment on the opposite fleet! Beat! ”

Zheng Haotian gave an order, and hundreds of warships were all thrown into the attack!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

A ship's cannon roared incessantly, and the shells slammed straight into the Portuguese fleet with a huge arc!

The two fleets are now only three to five miles apart, and with the effective range of the rifled guns of the Ming fleet, it is enough to maintain a hit rate of 10 to 20 percent, and hundreds of warships have used thousands of guns in one go, and more than 1,000 shells have been smashed down, even if only one-tenth can hit the target, it is hundreds of shells, enough for each Portuguese battleship to take two shells!

Of course, it is impossible for the shells to fall evenly on each battleship, and the unfortunate Portuguese fleet has not had time to run out and prepare for battle, and as soon as it comes up, it will be stunned by the First Fleet!

The most conspicuous is the Portuguese flagship, and the most unlucky is also the Portuguese flagship, the flagship with a total tonnage of 1,200 tons, was directly hit head-on by five shells, the deck was blown out of a large hole, and a shell hit the side chord of the flagship, even the side of the ship was blown away, and the Portuguese flagship instantly ignited a raging fire!

The violent explosion caused casualties to the Portuguese Navy, and the sails on the flagship were torn apart by the explosion......

"Fight back, give orders, return fire immediately! The whole army fights back! ”

Christoan roared wildly!

As soon as the words fell, the second wave of shelling of the First Fleet arrived!

There are more than 1,000 shells again, and the First Fleet, as the most elite main fleet of the Ming Empire, is the most well-equipped, with the most rifled artillery equipment, and the hit rate in the war is naturally much higher than that of ordinary warships!

This time the flagship was hit by two shells again, one shell hit the mast directly, and the entire mast was blown to pieces by the shells, along with the bannermen with the masts!

Christoan was also swept on his left shoulder by the splashing hardwood, almost slapping Christoan down, and the flying wood chips directly knocked off a large piece of flesh on Christoan's shoulder, and even the shoulder blades were exposed, Christoan almost fainted in pain, let out a terrible scream from his mouth, and sat on the ground with his ass!

The flagship is finished, the Portuguese fleet is finished, the sails are destroyed, the flagship can at least command the operation, now it's okay, the mast where the flag soldiers are located was directly destroyed, even the fleet commander was seriously injured, almost died, without the unified command of the flagship, the entire fleet is a mess, without a fight!

At this time, the artillerymen on the battleships were finally in place, and began to prepare to return fire one by one, and one shell after another roared towards the Ming fleet to launch a counterattack!

It's a pity that it's too late, the war is not declared, and it is a sudden attack, the first two waves of attack of the First Fleet are too sharp, at least six or seven battleships of the Portuguese fleet were hit by more than ten shells, and they were torn apart by the violent explosion, and they have begun to sink into the sea, as for the rest, the other battleships are not having a good time, at least more than thirty battleships were hit by the shells of the Ming fleet,!

It was too fierce, and as soon as it struck, the Portuguese fleet suffered a heavy blow, and even the flagship was beaten down!

The gap between the Portuguese fleet and the Ming fleet at this time is completely revealed, if it is the Dutch or the English facing the First Fleet, although it will also fall into disadvantage, but it will definitely not be as embarrassed as Portugal, too passive, the Dutch and the English naval fleet is well-trained, advanced weapons, it can be said that it is a separate competition, even if it is not as good as the Ming fleet, at least there will not be too much gap, the Portuguese are too slow!

Now the Portuguese fleet does not have a decent formation at all, there is no command of the flagship, can only rely on their own experience, alone against the enemy, the distance is within two or three miles, the shells can barely hit the Ming army's battleships, the distance is a little farther, the shells do not know where to hit, after all, there is no rifling, plus the battleship on the sea is turbulent, it is too difficult for the shells to be accurate......

"General, general, get on the boat, immediately change the battleship, go to the Princess Claire, and command the battle instead of the flagship!"

The chief of staff on the side, Nanis, picked up Christoan and shouted urgently, "Our flagship can't be saved, it was hit by a dozen or so shells, it is obvious that it can't be saved, we must replace the battleship and command the fleet to retreat!" ”

With Nanis's support, Christoan hurriedly jumped onto a gunboat and ran towards the main battleship, the Princess Claire, not far away.

When they boarded the Princess Clauja, the flagship of the Portuguese fleet was hit by a cannonball again, and once again set off a violent explosion, and began to slowly sink towards the bottom of the sea!

"I drop God, ......"

Crisdogan couldn't believe his eyes, from the discovery of the Ming fleet to the present, only more than half an hour has passed, the Ming fleet is just carrying out more than ten waves of attacks, and now the entire Portuguese fleet has been completely disabled, one after another battleships are on fire, the flames are blazing, it's over, the Portuguese fleet is finished!
