Chapter 72: Crushing

"The map you want is in the hands of Howling Wind, Howling Wind is the pirate king of Southeast Asia, no one knows where his map came from, many people guess that it was drawn by a pirate king who ruled the entire ocean before, and it has almost all the treasure locations on the sea, many of which are related to the gods, this map is the lifeblood of Howling Wind, and it is also the root of Howling Wind becoming one of the eight great pirate kings, so he won't give it to us easily, even if it is death" Jack knows which treasure map Chu Ming needs, the treasure map in Xiaofeng's hand will definitely not be more than ten people in the world, what does Jack even doubt if Chu Ming has the ability to predict the future, why is there no one on the sea who can hide from him?

"Howling wind? Hehe, I'll be afraid of him, and when the time comes, I'll drive the fleet over directly, and if he gives me a map, then he's still the pirate king of Southeast Asia, otherwise, I don't mind letting a pirate force disappear completely! Chu Ming said to Jack at this time, Jack smashed his mouth, and didn't say anything, Jack should be the weakest one among all the pirate kings, after all, Jack doesn't even have a ship now, no matter what's the howling wind, there is still a small fleet.

Soon the difference between the flagship and the British Empire's Dreadnought was only fifty meters, Chu Ming could even see clearly the British soldiers on the Dreadnought who were holding muskets aimed at him, the soldiers on the Dreadnought were still elite, most of them came from the British mainland, but the soldiers on the rest of the ships were not good, only a small part of the commanders were from the British mainland, and most of the remaining soldiers were local third brothers in India.

"Now is not a good time to negotiate, the Soul Coffin is also very important to the Kinetic Capital Company, with the Soul Coffin, they can directly control David Jones, whether it is to exterminate the pirates of the world, or to use David Jones to make all the pirates surrender and become the thugs of the East India Company, this is a feasible thing, it can be said that the value of the Soul Coffin is huge, and the East India Company cannot give the Soul Coffin to themselves like this, it can only make them feel afraid, Then they will honestly take out the Soul Gathering Coffin! Chu Ming said to Jack at this time, Jack was indifferent, and Chu Ming didn't need to discuss with Jack what to decide.

After Chu Ming gave the generals above the flagship a look, "Prepare for battle!" Crash ready, get ready to ram enemy ships! The orders for combat were issued, and then the orders on the flagship were also transmitted to other ships through the flag, and the distance between the flagship and the dreadnought was only a few tens of meters, but the flagship did not have any intention of stopping the ship, or even slowing down, which made the British commander, who was already afraid of the flagship, completely mad.

"Full rudder left, dodge enemy ships, fill shells, get ready for battle!" The British commander on the Intrepid yelled, but with a distance of only a few tens of meters, how could the equally cumbersome Intrepid dodge the huge flagship? "Fire!" Seeing that the huge hull of the flagship was directly crushed, in desperation, the commander of the Intrepid gave the order to open the cannon, wanting to be able to pull the flagship to make a funeral gift for himself when he was crushed into the sea.

"Fire!" The soldiers on the Dreadnought also burst out with great courage in despair, and the guns on the Dreadnought began to roar wildly, shooting towards the flagship, but at this current angle, they can only shoot the front impact angle of the flagship and the outer layer of iron armor, "boom boom" In the burst of gunsmoke, dozens of shells all bombarded the flagship's ramming angle and iron armor, it is difficult to miss this distance, I have to say that the Dreadnought is the most powerful warship of the British Empire after all, The weight of the guns on it was also the heaviest, and after a salvo, the flagship's ramming angles were messy, and the flagship's outer armor was also pierced in several weak spots, and the shells were fired into the ship's hold, posing a certain threat to the flagship's hold.

Finally, the flagship seemed to be a giant man pushing a soft girl, and the huge collision angle poked into the body of the dreadnought, and then like a giant axe to cut a piece of wood, the dreadnought was cut in half from the middle, and then the broken dreadnought was completely sunk into the sea under the continued crushing of the flagship, only a large number of broken wood was still floating on the sea, and some British soldiers in red coats kept praying for help, But it was sucked into the deep sea by the whirlpool caused by the wreck, and became a dead body, and the flagship almost didn't fire a shot, completely using its huge size and powerful impact to directly crush the dreadnought, which was a unilateral ravaging without any room for resistance.

"Annihilate the British fleet! I want them to kneel before me and beg me to make a truce! Chu Ming shouted, and then the general on the flagship issued an order for the whole army to attack comprehensively, the first to move was the flagship and the deputy general on the configuration of the Shenwei general, the range of the Shenwei general is much more powerful than the ordinary artillery, after the Shenwei general bombed the enemy into slag and sank to the bottom of the sea, the enemy's artillery could not reach the Shenwei general!

"Knock, knock, knock" a burst of muffled sounds like real thunder came, this is the beginning of the general Shenwei began to wield, the sound of the artillery of the general Shenwei is completely different from the general artillery, the flagship and the three vice admirals fired a salvo of more than 20 rounds of the general Shenwei cannonballs, directly the three British ships were broken and sent into the sea, except for the dreadnought of this level of battleship, the rest of the warships were in danger of sinking after a shot of the attack of the general Shenwei, those medium or light ships were fired next to each other, and sank directly, Without a word, this battle between Chu Ming and the East India Company was not a heavyweight battle at all.

The commander of the British army was really brave, yelling at all the ships to move forward at full speed, narrowing the distance between himself and the Chu Ming battleship, so that the range advantage of General Shenwei could not be brought into play, and even some generals had begun to order some light ships to give full play to their speed advantage, and rushed directly to the side of the flagship, igniting the ship's powder magazine, intending to die with the flagship, no way, the small cannon on the light ship was simply tickling the flagship, and it couldn't penetrate the iron armor outside the flagship, However, there were a large number of escort ships around the flagship, and it was extremely difficult for these light ships of the British army to rush to the side of the flagship, and the escort ships of the flagship were stronger than the British dreadnought.

On the lookout of the military port, the British generals led by Lord Beckett were holding binoculars and trembling at the battle situation on the sea, when they saw Chu Ming's fleet for the first time, they didn't want to fight this battle with Chu Ming, the flagship and the vice admiral seemed to be sea monsters, so Lord Beckett completely lost any courage to fight and the confidence to defeat Chu Ming, a frigate ship on Chu Ming's side was comparable to the British army's ace Intrepid, this is a fart!

When the flagship directly crushed the Dreadnought into the deep sea without saying a word, Lord Beckett's heart was like a heavy punch, at that moment he even thought that the strong, ancient, but moderate empire in the East showed his fangs, declared a full-scale war on the British Empire, and a world war was about to begin, although Lord Beckett was arrogant, but he was still somewhat self-aware, he did not think that he could afford a world war.

"We haven't received any documents to start a war, the other side is not declaring war, they are a bunch of barbarians! The scum of the civilized world, scum! "Bastard, I will definitely write to His Majesty the King, tell His Majesty everything here, and let His Majesty send an even more powerful fleet over and send these hateful Orientals to the bottom of the sea!" ","And the Spaniards, didn't they always preach that their fleet was invincible? Find a way to pull them into the water too! Let them deal with these Orientals! "In any case, India cannot be lost, India is as important to our British Empire as all the other colonies combined!" "The generals around Lord Beckett saw the complete crushing situation in the naval battle, and knew that their defeat was inevitable, so they began to make noise, and the purpose was to be one, not to blame the defeat on themselves.

"Prepare to negotiate, their navy is very strong, and only by using all our native fleets can they compete with them, but they don't have much army, they can't occupy India, and even as long as we gather enough army, they can't even get up to the beach, the other party's purpose is not to occupy India, nor is it a full-scale war" Half an hour later, Chu Ming had already sent all the ships that did not choose to surrender into the sea, and in the case of his own loss of seven escort ships, almost completely annihilated the British Empire's navy in India, but Lord Beckett also calmed down at this time, and saw that Chu Minglai's purpose was not to start an all-out war.

"Negotiate, negotiate! Whatever they need, as long as they don't overdo it", "Yes, when our native navy comes, no matter how much we pay, we will make them all vomit!" "Yes, yes, and the shipbuilding technology they mastered, we must get it, and the forging technology of those huge guns, with these, the Spanish armada will be sent to the bottom of the sea by us, and then our British Empire can dominate the world!" "As soon as all the generals heard Lord Beckett talk about negotiations, their eyes immediately lit up, the negotiation is good, there is no need to die, there is a big head of Lord Beckett in front, it doesn't matter what treaty is signed, it's none of their business.

"Treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, I think the other party will come to us soon" Chu Ming gave the order after occupying the last British battleship flying the white flag, although there was no suspense that Chu Ming won this battle, but he also lost nearly a thousand soldiers and seven frigates, and many ships were damaged to varying degrees, even if Chu Ming had experienced three times and space, sitting in a high-ranking position for decades, he still couldn't help but feel a little difficult to calm down.

The mermaids hid in the cabin before the battle, they were Chu Ming's greatest wealth, and they could not be missed, and after the battle, those old eunuchs took those masters of the people and left on two escort warships, and headed towards the Ming Empire, they wanted to send the Fountain of Immortality to His Majesty the Emperor, who was already dying.

By the evening, all the soldiers who had fallen into the water had been salvaged, including the bodies of the Ming soldiers, as for the British army, Chu Ming ordered only the wounded to be rescued, regardless of the corpses, and soon, all the British soldiers who were salvaged and surrendered were strung into a long string by ropes, and were guarded by several Ming soldiers with big knives, boiling gruel in the cauldron, which was the dinner of these British prisoners.

Finally, a small boat with a white flag appeared in Chu Ming's sight, Chu Ming completely annihilated the British navy, and it was impossible for the British army not to negotiate.

"On behalf of Lord Beckett, I invite Your Excellency to the port for dinner, and at the same time discuss the armistice," the British soldiers who came said politely to Chu Ming, without the slightest indication that Chu Ming was the great enemy who had just killed tens of thousands of their naval soldiers.

"Okay, I'll bring my wife to attend, please wait a minute" Chu Ming decided not to lose face in front of Lord Beckett, the Englishman who loved to dress 13, called Louise, changed into a silk gown, and let Louise wear a luxurious white dress studded with diamonds and pearls, Chu Ming took hundreds of highly skilled soldiers to attend Lord Beckett's dinner, Louise was the first time to participate in the banquet of mankind, although she was gorgeously dressed, but her mood was nervous.
