"Extinguish the fire! Put out the fire! "On the Spanish ship that was rammed, the Admiral shouted wildly,

The Spanish soldiers were scrambling to extinguish the fire, but before they could extinguish the fire, another speedboat loaded with fuel rushed in.

Because the success of the first clipper ship caused the hull of the Spanish warship to catch fire, the Spanish musketeers on board could not calmly cope at this moment.

The nearby clippers were like sharks smelling blood and approaching the wounded whale.

In just half an hour, the Spanish third-class battleship was attacked by five or six clippers, except for one of which was unsuccessful due to the desperate counterattack of the Spanish musketeers who preemptively ignited the fire oil.

The rest of the ships all managed to get close to the battleship, and they clung to the hull and turned into a fierce flame.

Compared with Zheng Zhilong's arsonist ship back then, the arson boat used by Xiao Wu was loaded with more ignition materials, and the fire oil and black powder burned more violently, and it was extremely difficult to extinguish.

When the flames gradually engulfed the hull of the third-class battleship, the soldiers on board could no longer calm down, they dropped their weapons and ran desperately on the deck, and many of them even jumped directly into the icy sea.

"General, the Chris is burning." On a warship, the navigator shouted to General Terry in horror.

Looking at the burning warship, General Terry almost spat out a mouthful of old blood,

Although he knew that the Oriental was good at using arson ships to attack, he never imagined that this kind of thing would happen in his own fleet.

"Damn, the Admiral on the Chris should be on the gallows." General Terry yelled.

If the previous armed merchant ships were due to the sudden attack of the Ming army's clippers and the merchant sailors were too slow to react, it would be understandable that the actual combat experience was insufficient.

Then the Chris that should have been prepared and experienced in combat would be destroyed by a few small boats with no artillery, which was unacceptable to General Terry.

Not only the Chris, but the rest of the arsonist ships began to attack the other Spanish ships,

Even General Terry's flagship was targeted by an arsonist ship, but under the operation of the flagship's skilled gunners, the sneaky arsonist was not long before it was blown up by the whirlwind guns on the side of the ship.

"General, the Chris is finished." The marine officer looked palely at the Chris engulfed in flames.

The burning battleship Chris was also seen by Spanish soldiers on nearby ships, and the fire swept through the ship, and the sailors and soldiers ran back and forth from the high side of the ship before jumping into the sea in despair.

With a loud explosion,

The huge hull of the ship was like an arched sea beast that was suddenly lifted up and smashed heavily on the sea surface, letting out a tsunami-like roar.

The shouting of the ship stopped abruptly, and the ship gradually disintegrated in the fire.

The roaring fire shone on the faces of every Spanish soldier and gunner, and every face revealed horror and disbelief,

This was the first Spanish battleship to be sunk,

The ones that were destroyed by the arson ships before were only armed merchant ships, not real Spanish warships, and the losses were lost.

But the Chris is a real warship,

A third-class battleship of the Spanish colony sank in the icy waters off Luzon at this moment,

This made the hearts of the Spaniards present sink,

Looking at the firelight in front of him, General Terry didn't speak for a long time,

The Spanish fleet was commanded by Admiral Skoll, who led three majestic second-class ships into the pirate herd but was surrounded.

Admiral Terry in the rear immediately took over the command of the fleet,

thought that with the superiority of the number of artillery in the fleet, the opponent had been suppressed,

Who would have thought that a sudden arson ship would give a heavy blow to the fleet,

Including the Chris, six Spanish warships have already been sunk, including five armed merchant ships.

And several other third-class warships were also attacked by arsonist ships,

Due to the seven-seven-eighty-eight consumed by the arson ships of the Ming army, the remaining few third-class battleships did not suffer much loss,

But the fire ignited by the oil on the ship also made the sailors of several warships embarrassed.

Looking at the Ming Army's sailors who were still fighting hard, General Terry suddenly became angry,

He expected these Orientals to use fire attacks,

But he didn't expect that these weak enemies would have such courage to sink their own warships even at the cost of their lives.

It's completely different from the pirates I've seen.

He also served as an escort for the merchant fleet,

He has also fought with pirates who have multiplied or even tenfold,

Although the pirates are ruthless, they will definitely not fight the Spanish warships,

Generally, after a heavy blow, the pirates will flee in a panic.

This is also the reason why General Skoll is confident that he will lead three second-class battleships to rush into the pirate group,

At the beginning, himself and General Skoll projected,

Skoll led three second-class warships to break through the pirates' defenses and disrupt their formation.

The pirates themselves are a rabble, united by different maritime powers, and can be broken up by a single assault.

Then General Terry led the follow-up fleet to destroy this pirate alliance, so as to eliminate all pirate forces off the coast of Luzon once and for all.

But the current situation has greatly surprised the two of them.

The pirates were aroused by Skoll's fierce pursuit and fierce fighting, and they entangled Skoll's three second-class warships and could not get out.

But the fleet in front of him was blocked in front of the follow-up fleet,

The other party's resoluteness greatly exceeded General Terry's expectations,

In the distance, Skoll's fleet was surrounded by layers of pirates, and General Terry was a little worried,

Skoll's fleet was trapped by a horde of pirates and could not escape at all,

At this moment, the pirates have changed from the passive side to the active side,

As long as Xiao Wu blocks Admiral Terry's follow-up fleet,

Then sooner or later Skoll's fleet will be swallowed up by pirates,

At this time, General Terry couldn't sit still, watching the sinking of the Chris, he finally made up his mind,

"Charge,"

"All the ships broke through the sniper fire of the pirate fleet and joined up with General Skoll."

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, at first Terry just let the fleet bombard with Xiao Wushui's division, and suppressed Xiaowu's division with the quality and quantity advantage of large-caliber artillery.

But now he had to lead the flotilla to charge,

Rushing into the pirate blockade regardless of casualties, joining General Skoll,

Although the madness of the pirates made Terry a little worried, and also caused a lot of losses to the Spanish fleet, it was also within the controllable range.

As soon as he joins up with Skoll's fleet,

He didn't believe that the Spanish fleet would be planted on these third-rate ships.

As Terry's main ship hoisted its battle flag, the four third-class battleships began to rush towards Xiao Wushui's division, while the armed merchant ships on the side were selectively ignored by Terry.

Originally, because of the attack of the arson boat, Xiao Wushui had a chance to breathe,

But when the Spaniards rushed up desperately,

The pressure of the Ming army increased sharply for a while,
