Chapter 625: Into the Atlantic Ocean [2 more]

Almost all the navies of the two countries withdrew to the port of Bue, and together with the Dutch navy that heard the news, all the horses of the three countries in southern Africa gathered together, and all of a sudden, the whole port was full of flags, and the warships crowded the port, as many as hundreds.

Bue Harbor gathered several navies, hundreds of ships, and almost tens of thousands of naval non-commissioned officers, even though they were afraid of the Ming fleet, but looking at the many soldiers and horses gathered in Bue Harbor, the governors of the navies of the three countries were also a little more confident.

It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Atlantic Ocean and compete with the hegemon of the Atlantic Sea, as the most popular Portugal and Spain at the moment, the two sides have fought several times, but unfortunately the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, and several small fleets of the two countries are simply not enough for the Ming fleet to be bombarded with a salvo.

It was only after several encounters that the fleet was pressed and beaten by the Ming fleet that the fleet realized that the Ming Dynasty was like a fierce tiger, and it was definitely not the natives they encountered on weekdays, and they could be allowed to slaughter.

After fighting again and again, Portugal and Spain finally realized that if they did not concentrate their forces, their small fleets scattered everywhere could not be the opponent of the Ming fleet at all.

As the overseas governor of Portugal, the Grand Duke of Doros is a grand duke of Portugal, and his family is so powerful that he can even influence the will of the Portuguese royal family.

The prestige and power of the Grand Duke of Doros were extremely heavy, so the admirals of Spain and the Netherlands naturally did not have enough confidence in front of the Grand Duke of Doros.

Needless to say, the lord of the coalition is naturally the Grand Duke of Doros.

At this moment, in the harbor, with the help of the clairvoyant mirror, Doros and other coalition generals all looked at the ships that appeared on the sea with solemn expressions.

There are hundreds of ships appearing on the sea and slowly coming, and there is really a sense of overwhelmingness.

In particular, some of the generals who had led their fleets to fight against this fleet and really understood the firepower of the fleet, when they looked at it again, they were still afraid.

The captain of a Portuguese naval fleet said to Grand Duke Doros: "Grand Duke, you must be cautious, this fleet is too fierce in firepower, and the firepower of the other side is at least twice as strong as ours in the same number." ”

Grand Duke Doros nodded slightly, being able to get out of Portugal and not indulge in enjoyment shows that Grand Duke Doros is not a mediocre person.

Early on from a number of captains who had experience in dealing with the Ming fleet, I learned some basic information about the Ming fleet, and after listening to the captain's reminder, Doros's expression is still solemn.

Just when the high-ranking generals of the coalition forces of several countries were nervously waiting for the appearance of the Ming fleet, they appeared in the huge fleet above the sea.

Yu Dayou, who stood on the flagship, looked much more mature, and at first glance he didn't look like a teenager less than twenty years old.

With the color of wind and frost and sophistication on his face, it can be seen that in the past few years, wandering on the vast sea, Yu Dayou has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under the danger and tempering again and again, Yu Dayou has really grown up, and I am afraid that even Chu Yi will be amazed when he sees it.

Lin Ping was dressed in armor, standing beside Yu Dayou, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, through which he could see that the harbor in front of him was densely packed with all kinds of ships.

"I said where are all these Xiyi people hiding, I never thought that they would all gather in this port."

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help muttering.

Jiao Yuan and Yue Buqun were naturally a little calmer than Lin Pingzhi, Yue Buqun put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to Yu Dayou: "General Yu, look at this situation, the other party wants to have a fierce battle with us here." ”

The corners of Yu Dayou's mouth curled slightly, and a touch of ferocity flashed, only to hear Yu Dayou say: "Since they want to find death, then General Ben will fulfill them." ”

Lin Pingzhi said: "Yes, we took care of them early, and we can also mobilize people to find the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Wu." ”

Sailing all the way, every time they encountered a port, they would send people into the port, and then hand over Chu Yi's drawings to those natives, mobilizing these people to find Chu Yi's whereabouts.

This effect is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it can be said that it is the most clumsy way to find people, but for them, this is the only way they can think of, and for this reason they do not hesitate to destroy a country that refuses to cooperate.

A whining desolate trumpet sounded, and soon the flag was hoisted.

The ensuing fleet observed the flag hoisted above the flagship, and all the ships immediately moved. In less than a cup of tea, the soldiers who had already integrated the ability to control the ship into their bones quickly completed the formation.

Hundreds of fleets pressed towards the harbor in unison, the momentum was really amazing, it was just a cup of tea, and even the outline of the ship could be seen with the naked eye alone.

In the harbor, Grand Duke Doros couldn't help frowning as he looked at several coalition generals who were arguing there, put the coffee on the table, and said in a deep voice: "If you continue to argue, I'm afraid the Ming fleet has already entered the port." ”

Several coalition generals immediately closed their mouths, and listened to the justice of Doros: "Don't say anything, the most important thing at the moment is to face the Ming army, what is the meaning of this battle, even if I don't say it, you all know it in your hearts." ”

The overseas forces of several countries are almost all gathered here, if they win this time, it will be fine, but once they are defeated, the military strength of several countries overseas will plummet, and the ports that they have occupied with great difficulty in the past will be lost.

As Doros made up his mind, several coalition generals who had been arguing finally put aside their disputes, and soon the military order was passed down through the order flag.

One by one, the ships sailed out of the harbor, and then formed an array to meet the Ming fleet outside the harbor.

The two sides were miles apart, and the silhouette of the ship could be seen without the help of a telescope, and even the people on the boat could faintly see a figure.

On the flagship, Yu Dayou, who had been paying attention to the movements in the port, saw the ships sailing out of the port one after another, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with a fierce color: "I don't dare to come out to meet them when they want to keep shrinking in the port, so it's okay, I will destroy them in a war and raise my Ming national prestige." ”

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's will only came not long ago, since this is the case, let's take these people to sacrifice the flag!" ”

The fleets of the two sides approached rapidly, and suddenly there was a roar, and I saw a sudden shelling of one of the fleets on the opposite side, followed by a roar.

The two sides were still miles apart, and at least the artillery at the moment, there was no hope of hitting them under the shelling at such a distance.

Even if the range of the new artillery of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded the range of the Portuguese and Spanish fleets, it did not take the lead in firing, but it was really of no use at this distance except for listening to the sound.

Obviously, the cannon sound just now was due to the nervousness of some soldiers in the fleet, and they involuntarily opened their guns, but as for the other ships firing, they were affected by the ship that fired first.

"What a rabble!"

If Doros and other high-ranking generals of the coalition army heard Yu Dayou's evaluation of them, I don't know if they would faint one by one.

However, Doros and the others, who were in the port, were also angry at this time, obviously angered by the shelling just now.

"Waste, what a waste, to fire at such a distance, do they still have heads, and the kingdom spent so much gold and silver to raise such a group of waste?"

Grand Duke Doros was clearly.

Finally, the distance between the two sides was retracted to a certain extent, and the flagship of the Ming fleet raised the command flag, and at the moment when the order flag was raised, I saw that the ships around were shooting out shells one after another.

As the captains of those Portuguese ships said, the guns of the Ming fleet were stronger than them in terms of range and rate of fire, especially the number of guns equipped on each ship exceeded that of Portugal, Spain and other countries.

Boom, boom, boom

Columns of water rose into the sky, and cannonballs flew sideways, pouring down like a torrential rain, and if you were not lucky, you could even be hit directly by the shells.

In the blink of an eye, several ships were damaged, and even a slightly smaller ship was directly hit by two shells, the hull was smashed through, and the bubbling sea water was frantically pouring into the hull.

Even if it is only the advantage of a few waves of shelling, the feeling of being shelled but not being able to fight back is too embarrassing.

The Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch coalition forces can only brave the shells to desperately approach the Ming fleet, otherwise, with the range of the cannons on their ships, if they want to hit the Ming ships, it can only depend on God.

With a loud bang, I saw a ship explode all at once, and I was stunned that the gunpowder magazine was directly detonated by a shell, and it is conceivable that if a ship's powder magazine exploded, then a ship was blown up on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Yuan couldn't help but admire: "Good, very good." Sink them for me! ”

Finally, at the cost of more than a dozen ships being wounded and two ships sinking, the distance between the two sides was shortened, at least the coalition side did not have to watch but could not fight back, and the feeling of being able to only be beaten but unable to fight back was really uncomfortable.

"Hit me hard!"

The artillery of the coalition side roared, and one after another shells flew out, and a column of water suddenly splashed on the sea.

It can be clearly seen that the number of guns loaded by a single ship is almost twice as bad as that of the Ming on the coalition side, and if the difference in the rate of fire is added, if the coalition fleet can fire a hundred shells, then the Ming fleet can fire at least three or four hundred.
