Chapter 337: The Temptation of the Red Hair

This type of robbery instead of buying was used many times when they started their journey from the Kingdom of Spain.

None of the island natives who faced the arquebus with bows and arrows attached to them had a good end.

Under the command of this Spanish officer.

The Spanish fleet of armed merchant ships began to approach the mouth of the Red River.

"Report to the captain! It's an armed merchant ship of the Spaniards! ”

The sailor soldiers on the lookout hurriedly shouted below, and Liao Siwei, who had been waiting here early, instantly had a serious expression.

couldn't help but scold: "Sure enough, I really guessed it, it's really a red-haired fan from Spain!" ”

"Captain, what should we do now!"

The words of the sailors on the side seemed to wake up Liao Siwei, and I saw that his expression changed, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly said to the sailors and sailor officers around him: "Everyone has entered a state of combat readiness!" ”

"If this group of red-haired people is not good! Then we have to let him see what it means to have a return and no return! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone hurriedly went down to arrange, a large amount of ammunition was moved to the deck, and the gray cloth that was originally covered with the artillery was also directly removed, as if it was waiting for battle.

But not far away, on a Spanish armed merchant ship, a sailor seemed to notice the strangeness of the Ming ship in the distance.

That silvery-white sheen... The swarthy chimney, and he didn't even see the mast and sails on this Ming warship, and the sailor couldn't help but rub his eyes again.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

After a few moments, he could finally determine that the Ming warship in the distance was a ship they had never seen before, and an opponent they had never encountered.

"Oh! Sir, I think we're in trouble! Check it out! It seems that something is very wrong with the warships of the Ming Kingdom! I've never seen a ship like this. ”

The little Earl, who was sitting in the shade on the back of the deck, was visibly displeased when he heard this.

He muttered, "Look at your timid appearance.... Can the ships of the Ming Kingdom be any different from us? Could it be that it is made of steel.... I! Oh my God! ”

The little earl drew out the telescope he had brought with him, and the precious stones and delicate patterns on it were all proof of the wealth and nobility of his owner.

But what did he see through this telescope now...

He saw a warship with a silver-white sheen of steel, the swarthy muzzles on the sides, and the busy sailors on the opposing ships.

For a moment, the little earl began to exude a chill from the back of his neck.

What kind of monster is this.. How can there be a steel ship that can float on the water, how can there be steel that sails on the sea without sinking to the bottom.

A sight never seen before.

Let the future little count of Spain in front of him feel like a stormy wave.

But the rhetoric just now has been blown out, and now they have all been pasted face to face, if they simply turn around and run, wouldn't they take out the face of the Kingdom of Spain and be trampled on by themselves?

A gritted tooth, a stomp of the foot.

No matter whether he can win or not, this little earl doesn't care about any gentlemanly demeanor or anything like that.

He said directly: "Only.. It's just silver wood paint! I've seen this kind of thing when I'm traveling in the Netherlands! Don't panic, everyone, you can definitely win by firing directly! ”

The sailors around him, though very reluctant to accept such a statement.

But instead of not obeying the orders of the future little earl, and being thrown into the sea by turning his head, he must have obediently returned to his position now to attack the warship of the Ming Kingdom, and if he wins, there is still a possibility of going home.

After figuring this out, all the sailors on board began to be nervously busy.

The adjutant on the side obviously couldn't understand why the young future Spanish count in front of him had to get along with the warships of the Ming Kingdom...

What he didn't know was.

The future little count in front of him owed a huge debt of up to 100,000 Spanish silver coins overnight because he gambled with several second-generation people who were also from the Spanish aristocratic circle in a small garden built by the Spaniards in the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, it was the main reason why all the money for buying goods in Daming was swept away.

The old friend of the so-called father, who was willing to finance his return to Spain, was only a reason that the little count had found for himself not to look so humiliating.

The other party provided him with money on the condition that he wanted to find a way to go to the mouth of the Red River in Annam and engage the warships of the Ming Dynasty during the return journey.

It doesn't matter if you can beat it or not, but you have to fight.

If you take the money and run away, and the other party does not see this news in the newspaper published by Daming, then the news of his squandering and gambling in Daming will reach the ears of his earl father word for word.

The frightened little count had no choice but to find a way to get such a vote.

Bang bang bang! At the same time, the guns on the side of the ship began a salvo.

A burst of white smoke suddenly rose on the sea, and when they saw the leading ship firing their guns, the other Spanish armed merchant ships behind them could only follow suit and fire at the Ming warship.

"Good fellows... None of them? This red-haired ghost's accuracy is also bad enough..."

Boom! A chattering Daming sailor's head ushered in a violent shudder.

I only heard someone behind me say, "You little ghost, can you think of something good!" Hurry up and prepare, we're going to fight back! ”

"Yes! Sir! The sailor hurriedly responded.

Above the sea, war is on the verge of breaking out.

As the red-haired men of the Kingdom of Spain opened fire, all the sailors of the Ming Dynasty understood that it was time for them to appear.

"Everybody! Target, Spanish armed merchant ships, burst fire! ”

Bursts?

Without the slightest hesitation, the group began to prepare the artillery, and the continuous firing meant that the first salvo could be skipped.

Attack directly with artillery until the enemy ship sinks!

Bang! The Ming artillery is different from the ancient cast iron cannon of the Spaniards, but they are all real rifled rear loading, which is not only highly accurate, but more importantly, the effective range is far above the Spanish artillery.

So, under the command of Liao Siwei, the boiler of the Qingdao ship was once again filled with coal, and the whining steam was squeezed out!

"Distance yourself and have some fun with these red-haired ghosts!"

"Yes! Captain! ”
