Chapter 1641: Head-to-head showdown
Looking at the five Haihan warships sailing towards him, Juan naturally had no reason to retreat, he thought that this was by no means the main force of the opposing fleet, most of them were just auxiliary troops left on the periphery to carry out the cover of the broken rear, and it was good to be able to eat one or two of them in one go. When he ordered the fleet to spread out on the left and right, preparing to surround these Haihan sailing ships from the sea.
However, as soon as Juan's order was issued, the battle formation on the opposite side had also undergone a new change, and the four Explorer-class battleships began to turn westward to seize the upper hand, while the black galleon was single-handedly rushing towards the Manila fleet, and it seemed that it was planning to pass directly through the middle.
Regardless of whether the opponent was insane or deliberately provocative, Juan could not allow the ship to be so powerful in front of him, and immediately ordered the main force in the middle, including the flagship "San Diego", to target the black sailing ship, and strive to inflict heavy damage on the opponent in the first round of firefighting.
Of course, if Juan had seen the "Martin" engage with the strange warship, he might have changed his tactics and not tried to engage the black sailing ship. It's a pity that no one in his camp knows the combat methods and lethality of this black sailing ship, and the Spaniards can only use the traditional way of naval warfare to deal with it.
The consequences of this were obvious: before the black galleon could reach the range of the Spanish guns, the rotating turret in the bow of the ship opened fire. Before Juan could even open his mouth to laugh at his rival's impatience, he saw another galleon on the port side of the flagship shot, and a large exploding board at the bow of the ship scattered into the sea like a goddess scattering flowers, mixed with faint cries of misery.
"What is this!" Juan was puzzled by what he saw, it was unbelievable that the naval guns of the Haihan people could hit at such a distance. According to his last experience with the Haihan warship, although the opponent's naval guns have a certain advantage in effective range, they don't seem to be so exaggerated. Obviously, this should be some kind of new weapon developed by Haihan, and its performance is far superior to the naval guns it was equipped with in the past.
While Juan was still scratching his head and wondering how to deal with this new weapon, Wu Sen, the commander of the "Black Shark", was extremely dissatisfied with the hit just now: "My order is aimed at the largest flagship, why did it hit the ship next to it?"
In fact, Wu Sen had already had the intention of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and the gunner of the "Black Shark" did aim at the "San Diego" to shoot, but because of the turbulence of the waves, the angle of the cannon was slightly off, and after flying hundreds of meters in the air, it had already deviated from the target, and swept diagonally above the bow of the "San Diego", but it happened to hit another Spanish sailing ship in its left rear, and this shell was not wasted by mistake.
However, because the Black Shark's guns were already using more advanced monolithic shells, they were reloaded much faster than the old guns, and the second shell was fired before the Spaniards could respond. At this time, the distance between the "Black Shark" and the target was shortened by nearly 200 meters, and this time the shot did not deviate again, and it accurately hit the starboard side of the "San Diego" and opened a large hole in the hull.
