The British are different from the Dutch and the Spaniards, the Dutch and the Spaniards have fought with the fleet of the Ming Empire several times in the South Seas, knowing the details of the Ming Empire, when fighting, they will naturally be prepared, especially the Dutch fleet, in the South Seas and the Ming Fleet have fought a few times, knowing the strength of the Ming fleet, but the West and the Netherlands know, it does not mean that the British also know.

Before the combined fleet expedition, the British fleet had not fought head-on with the fleet of the Ming Empire, and some were only rumors that this time it was at war with the Ming Empire, and the English fleet suffered a big loss.

Faced with the strange array of the Ming Empire's fleet, Trafford did not understand the intentions of the Ming army commander at all, so he rashly started the war, and suffered a big loss as soon as he made his move.

In order to be able to hit the Ming fleet to the greatest extent, the English fleet focused its artillery fire on the inner Ming fleet and began to attack, ignoring the Ming fleet on the outside, anyway, I don't threaten you, and you can't threaten me either, but, obviously, Trafford was wrong.

After all, the size of the ships was too small, the number of artillery was insufficient, and it was too much of a loss, but the artillery and rockets were fired at the same time, but they were able to parry the first few waves of attacks of the English fleet.

However, the Ming fleet on the outside did greatly surprise Trafford's expectations, Xu Yifan's double-horizontal line tactics, the inner fleet was just a disguise, and the real killer was the main fleet on the outside, more than a hundred main warships!

Whether it is a heaven-class battleship or a ground-class battleship, including several super battleships, almost all of their guns have been replaced with rifled guns, which are so powerful that they are beyond everyone's imagination, two or three miles away, they can still maintain a hit rate that surpasses that of the English fleet, not only that, but the power of the flowering bomb completely burst out, setting off a group of war on the battleships of the English fleet!

Caught off guard, the English fleet was beaten in a mess, Trafford originally thought that it was just fighting with the Ming fleet on the inside, but he didn't expect that everyone pounced, and the hit rate of the naval guns of the main battleships on the outside was two miles away, which was more accurate than the naval guns of the inner fleet, and the artillery hit rate of the English fleet was also higher!

The overwhelming shells and rockets stunned the English fleet as soon as they came up, and one after another the battleships were scrapped and sank to the bottom of the sea!

"Fack!"

Trafford angrily scolded, "Order, all the battleships are supposed to avoid the main battleships of the Ming army on the far outside, don't be hit by their shells, all of them are fucking flowering shells, the power is huge, once hit, the consequences are unimaginable!" Fake, why are these Ming Empire warships and guns still able to hit so accurately at a position close to a mile? God, tell me, what the hell is going on? ”

No one can answer this question, and neither can God at Trafford!

The Ming fleet is unforgiving, constantly launching a crazy offensive towards the English fleet, the English fleet can't parry at all, in addition to artillery, the English fleet also has to guard against countless rockets, these things are not much direct lethality, but set fire everywhere, as long as he hits, it will catch fire everywhere, especially the sails on the battleship, once hit by the rocket, it won't take long, it will be burned to the ground, there is no sail, the battleship, then it will completely lose its mobility, Can only be passively beaten at sea!

"Fack, Fack!"

Trafford jumped like thunder, but there was no way, it couldn't withstand the offensive of the Ming fleet at all, in just a quarter of an hour, the English fleet suffered heavy casualties, more than 30 warships were directly sunk by the Ming fleet, and some of the battleships were blazing, if in a short time, can not turn the tide of the war, let the fire spread, soon these battleships will be burned to ashes!

Run? Now that the English fleet is heading southwest, it can only continue to move forward, which will be farther and farther away from home, and it will be really isolated; As for turning around and escaping, how can the Ming fleet give itself the opportunity to turn around calmly? Continue to fight to the death? Who knows if the French fleet will rush to support? If the French fleet rushes to the aid and arrives in time, maybe the English fleet will be able to retain some vitality, but once the French fleet sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, then the English fleet will really die, and it will definitely not be able to escape today's catastrophe!

Trafford was also difficult to choose for a while, so he could only temporarily command the fleet, constantly attacking the Ming fleet, and the two sides continued to fight fiercely on the sea!

However, Trafford was too unlucky, he was riding on the flagship of the English Empire, the Sea King, a behemoth with a displacement of more than 1,600 tons, a well-deserved giant of this era, equipped with more than 100 artillery pieces alone, and it was absolutely transcendent in Western countries.

However, today he has been targeted by the super battleships of the Ming Empire, the two super battleships of the first fleet and the second fleet, staring at the Sea King at the same time, out of their own battle sequence, and actually approaching the Sea King!

Two super warships, with a tonnage of 1,200 tons, this is the most advanced warship equipped by the Ming fleet, the number of naval guns is limited, but the combat power is unparalleled, they are all huge volumes, and at the same time they are loaded with more than fifty breech-loading rifled guns, aiming at the Sea King, and suddenly killing them!

More than a hundred flowering shells were smashed down on the Sea King!

By the time Trafford found out, it was too late, and Trafford commanded the battleships to desperately dodge, to no avail, being targeted by two giant ships at the same time, at a distance of less than two miles, even if only five shells hit the Sea King, but these five super shells were enough to bring a deadly threat to the Sea King.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The first unlucky thing was the shipbuilding where Trafford was located, a cannonball exploded on the ship, almost destroying the entire shipbuilding, the tower collapsed, and the unlucky Trafford was thrown out two or three feet away, and a wooden pole with a bowl mouth and a length of more than three feet smashed on Trafford's back, almost slapping him into a meatloaf!

Rao is so, Trafford's body is constantly twitching, and the blood in his mouth is constantly spurting out, obviously, he wants to live, unless God is giving him a life!

Traffel was seriously wounded and dying, the Sea King was badly damaged, and the English fleet was defeated!
