Because of the big victory during the day, at least in the eyes of the coalition forces, they were able to not fall behind in the confrontation with the Ming fleet, and even faintly stood on the upper hand, that is, a big victory, this big victory made the coalition forces have a feeling that the Ming fleet is just like this, but these people don't want to think about the gap between the two fleets.

Yu Dayou's warships were only more than 200 warships, but on the coalition side, more than a dozen countries were gathered, and even pirates were pulled, and thousands of warships were put together.

As the saying goes, there are more ants that bite and kill elephants.

Although in terms of the performance of the battleship, the coalition side is too inferior to the Ming warship, but with the advantage of numbers, the coalition side did have the upper hand in the battle in the daytime.

From top to bottom, the coalition forces had a sense of contempt for the Ming fleet, and in their minds, the Ming fleet must be hiding in the harbor and shivering, so although they sent soldiers on duty, they did not have much vigilance.

These people never dreamed that after Yu Dayou and the others retreated, they returned to the port just to rest a little, complete the supply of the battleship, and set sail again without stopping at all.

As for the port where the coalition forces docked, Yu Dayou and others had already explored it clearly, and even knew everything about the layout in the port.

The battle in the day made Yu Dayou and other generals realize that although the coalition side said that the performance of the warships was not comparable to theirs, with the advantage of numbers, it was really possible to consume them to death.

After realizing this, Yu Dayou and Qi Jingtong first thought of not escaping, but how to reverse this unfavorable situation.

Set sail to the sea, after one naval battle, the large and small naval battles add up to dozens if not a hundred.

Yu Dayou has never retreated, even if it is a strong opponent, he dares to lead the fleet to kill.

The night attack was a decision made by Yu Dayou, Qi Jingtong and other generals after some deliberations, and it was also the weakness of the coalition forces.

The coalition itself is composed of the navies of more than a dozen countries, although they are united, but they have their own belongings, and this situation will not affect the overall situation in the case of a war in the daytime, but once it falls into chaos, the navies of more than a dozen countries will inevitably become a mess.

In fact, just when Yu Dayou and others led the fleet to blast open the port in the night, and then blocked the port and frantically vented their artillery fire into the port, the naval fleets of more than a dozen countries stationed in the port fell into chaos.

Especially not long ago, the high-ranking officials of the navies of various countries gathered together to drink and talk freely, and celebrated the destruction of the Ming fleet in advance.

The result can be imagined, and no more than one percent of the high-level executives can still remain sober when they disperse.

Before these navy leaders could fall asleep, there was a rumbling sound, the earth shook, and the explosion like thunder woke these people up at once, and even the alcohol disappeared out of thin air.

One by one, the generals rushed out of the room, disheveled, their faces flustered, and they saw the chaos in the harbor as far as the eye could see.

The night was so deep that if it weren't for the raging fire, it would have been impossible to see what was going on in the harbor.

But at this time, the harbor was full of fire, one after another warships were crowded in the port, and nearly a thousand warships gathered in a port, almost one ship next to another, so that as long as the cannon of the Ming fleet was aimed at the direction of the port, one shot did not dare to say that it would hit 100% of the allied warships, at least one of the three guns could hit one shot.

Blocking the port gate, hundreds of warships under Yu Dayou's command frantically poured artillery fire in the direction of the port.

The shells rained down like a torrential rain, but in the blink of an eye, at least dozens of battleships set fire and lit up the entire harbor.

The battleships that caught fire were like large torches that illuminated the chaotic battleships around the Ming fleet, and suddenly made those battleships also the target of artillery bombardment.

In the harbor, Prince William's residence, Prince William, who was awakened by the sound of artillery fire, put on his shirt under the service of the chamberlain, and hurried out of the bedroom, also seeing the fire in the direction of the harbor.

With a sigh in his heart, Prince William's face became extremely ugly, as the next crown prince of England, this time the coalition of various countries in order to deal with the Ming fleet, Prince William volunteered to come, in order to plan a heavy military merit for himself.

The battle in the day made Crown Prince William's heart very excited, because he saw the dawn of victory, as long as there was no accident, the Ming fleet was destroyed, and he as the commander of the coalition army, he would inevitably be famous in all countries, and at that time, his position as the crown prince would be more stable as Mount Tai.

However, the roaring light of the fire and the incessant sound of shelling made Crown Prince William's heart sink.

Crown Prince William almost roared at the guards beside him and said: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and find out for me what is going on, who is attacking the port." ”

In fact, there is no need to send someone to find out who is attacking the port, but Crown Prince William can guess a few points in his heart, but Crown Prince William is a little reluctant to admit it.

In a panic, it was not only Crown Prince William who sent people to check on him, but the commanders of other countries also had the same gloomy faces.

The Portuguese governor roared angrily: "Damn Mingren, pass the order, give me a counterattack, counterattack!" ”

Without any orders, some of the coalition soldiers who stayed on the battleship at night reacted and hurriedly began to counterattack.

It's just that because most of the naval non-commissioned officers went ashore to rest, only a small part of the naval crew remained on the ship, and in this case, even if they were not hit by artillery fire, or even gathered part of the crew, it was very difficult to counterattack.

There are at least several or even a dozen cannons on a battleship, and if you want to control so many cannons, it is not something that a few crew members can do, especially the gunners who are responsible for operating the guns, which require experienced artillerymen to control.

It is difficult for ordinary naval non-commissioned officers to control the range and landing range of artillery, as gunners are naturally a high class in the navy, most of these artillerymen disembarked and rested, which led to many warships trying to counterattack after reacting only to find that they simply had excellent artillery to control the artillery to fight back.

The sparse sound of artillery came from the harbor, and some warships that had barely opened fire returned fire on the Ming side.

But these fleets that fought back were immediately noticed by the Ming warships, these battleships fired a few shells, but the Ming side immediately replaced them with dozens or even hundreds of shells, but it was just a blink of an eye, and the battleships that fought back in the coalition forces were on fire, at least a few warships half of their hulls sank in the harbor, and the other half of the hulls were floating on the water and burning with fire.

When the high-level leaders of the coalition led by Crown Prince William arrived in the port, although they did not dare to say that the overall situation had been decided, the situation of the coalition forces in the port was very bad.

Because of the surprise attack of the Ming army in the middle of the night, the coalition army did not have time to react at all, and the coalition army itself was in chaos, each in charge of its own family, and the result of the surprise attack in this case can be imagined.

"It's over, the army is over!"

A general of a small country looked at the dozens of warships in his fleet with a look of despair, most of which had been blown up and sunk, and the remaining part of them were rushing around the harbor like headless flies.

One family was in chaos, and several other affected families were also in chaos, and warships colliding together could be seen everywhere.

Outside the port, with the help of the fire in the port, Yu Dayou and other generals looked at the chaotic scene with a calm face, and after a while, Yu Dayou nodded with satisfaction and said, "The coalition forces are nothing more than that." ”

Not long ago, the pirate Cook had said something like this, and it only took a few hours for the situation to change dramatically.

The Ming fleet was blocking the harbor like that, on the one hand, to prevent a fleet from rushing out, and on the other hand, it was also close to using the terrain of the port to destroy more coalition warships.

Thousands of warships is really a frightening number, it is really too much difference in scale between the two sides, even if it is such a big chaos, if it is not good to seize the opportunity, once the coalition forces react, the remaining hundreds of warships alone are very likely to threaten the safety of the Ming fleet.

Overnight, the artillery fire barely stopped, and almost seventy or eighty percent of the ammunition replenished back to the port was smashed in.

Hundreds of warships, adding up to thousands of cannons, in one night, tens of thousands of shells were shot out, if it were not for such saturated artillery fire, there would not be a miserable scene in the harbor.

Realizing that the overall situation was decided, even if God appeared, it was impossible to change the outcome, such as Crown Prince William, the Governor of Portugal and other high-ranking coalition forces withdrew from the port as soon as possible under the protection of the army.

The first rays of sunlight on the horizon shone down, bright and warm, shining on the bodies of the soldiers, making the spirit of the Ming soldiers who had been busy all night excited, and almost instinctively looked in the direction of the port in the distance.
