Chapter 361: The cannon roared and the clouds flew

The flagship of the Asia Minor, Admiral Prussia of the Eastern Roman Navy, holds a telescope and targets the steel behemoth of the Ming Dynasty.

"God, they really made it!"

Wilson, the adjutant next to him, looked disapproving, and said, "Your Excellency, what you see is just a giant turtle in bulky armor, and these Orientals think that the bigger the battleship, the better, it's just too funny."

"Wilson, you've seen the drawings, this is an ironclad ship, not a treasure ship!"

"So what?"

Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Orientals have just lifted the sea ban, in fact, they don't know how to fight at sea at all, such a huge warship, it must be very slow, we can completely rely on the speed advantage to defeat them!"

The Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, has a very long history.

However, just a year ago, the capital of Constantinople was conquered by Sultan II, and since then, the Ottoman Empire has officially replaced the Eastern Roman Empire.

After the defeat of the Eastern Romans, Queen Dosia took advantage of the chaos to escape to sea and fled with the rest of her navy, eventually settling on the island of Ceylon and beginning to gather strength in preparation for the reconquest of Constantinople.

At this time, Peng Qing's fleet sailed back, so they set their sights on the east and sent Admiral Prussia to contact this mysterious country.

The Prussian fleet sailed eastward, but was driven away by the Ming navy cruising the South Seas, on the grounds that his ships were armed and belonged to warships, and once they entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, they were considered invasions.

In desperation, Prussia had no choice but to return and set up a small base on the Falklands, and then waited for the opportunity to contact Zhang Shiying, the commander of the Qiongzhou Guard.

As for how to get in touch...... Hehe, gold is a good thing, and in this world, there are few people who can resist the temptation of wealth.

In the past year, he not only smoothly entered the Daming Sea, but also established a port on Qiongzhou Island, and smuggled a large amount of money, making huge profits.

By chance, he also got the blueprints of the ironclad ship that Daming was building!

When he saw the drawings, Prussia was shocked.

The steam engine system depicted in it is really unbelievable, probably because the technology was so advanced that even the historic Eastern Roman Navy did not believe that it could actually be built.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

!」

Prussia watched carefully, and in the monocular, the two ships of Qiongzhouwei, one on the left and one on the right, followed on both sides of the ironclad ship.

It seems to be a concerted operation, but in fact, it ......

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and Prussia was shaken and looked ahead again.

Bang!

A huge explosion sounded, and the sea suddenly burst into flames.

Through the telescope, Prussia really saw that his own frigate Flying Ray was smashed by the waist.

Yes, smash!

This is a flowering bullet unique to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a heavy one.

The Flying Ray shattered in an instant, and the people on board didn't even know what was happening, and the bones were scattered along with the wreckage.

On the Zheng He, Zhu Qizhen held a telescope and saw this scene clearly.

"Well done!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Zhu Qizhen took off the binoculars and saw Fan Zhong rushing towards him.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A series of explosions sounded, and before Zhu Qizhen realized what was happening, he was already pressed under Fan Zhong's body.

Immediately afterward, he could clearly feel the hull of the ship tremble.

Damn, it's been attacked!

However, the enemy ship is still hundreds of paces away, and it has just lost one, how can it be possible to attack so quickly?

Mengdi, he thought......

Qiongzhou Wei!

Zhu Qizhen angrily pushed Fan Zhong away, and said angrily: "Zhang Shiying rebelled, didn't he, fire, fuck it!"

Due to close fire, the hull of the ship suffered some damage, despite the protection of iron armor.

In the lower gun compartments, five gunners were traumatized to varying degrees.

Lu Qian immediately ordered: "The reserve gunner is on top, listen to my command, open fire, and return fire!"

Immediately a reserve gunner stepped up and lit the lead.

Zhang Shiying stood at the bow of the ship and was ecstatic when he saw that his cannon had hit accurately, but he was soon not happy.

Because after a volley of artillery, the ironclad shook only slightly, and then ...... It's okay?

At the same time, he saw that the dense, swarthy muzzles of the guns were already aimed at him.

I can't even count how many there are......

"Commander, you'd better go back to the cabin!"

Zhang Shiying's face was bitter: "It's useless......

His expression was both helpless and tragic, because he knew what was about to happen. ….

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

On both sides of the ironclad ship, sixty guns fired alternately, and countless gun ports spewed dazzling fire.

He could even see swarthy shells flying towards him......

Bang!

Bang!

Countless shells smashed the two ships to pieces, leaving only sawdust flying everywhere.

The fate of the two ships was the same as that of the Flying Ray, if not worse, with countless wrecks left on the surface of the sea.

The people on board didn't even have time to call for help......

Almost instantly, the three warships vanished, leaving only a wreckage.

Now, only the Zheng He, Asia Minor and Moray Eel remain on the sea.

Jin Ying watched all this dumbfounded, he couldn't even believe that the power of the ironclad ship was so terrifying.

With an indestructible body of steel and indestructible firepower, even if it is a god descending to earth, it is nothing more than that, right?

Zhu Qizhen grimaced, pointed ahead, and said angrily, "Full speed ahead, fuck it!"

Zheng He let out a long whistle and rushed towards the Little Asia.

The bow gun had been reloaded, but the Moray Eel had learned the Ray's lesson and was starting to no

The rules swing forward.

"Report, the main gun can't be locked!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't think about it, and said, "Keep moving forward and close the distance!"

"Yes!"

In the steam cabin, the shipwrights worked hard to add coal, and all four boilers were turned on, and the entire cabin was filled with white gas.

Zheng He emitted black smoke, like a terrifying sea beast, breaking through the waves.

Prussia was already stunned, he was completely unaware that the seemingly bulky big guy in front of him had killed three battleships in a snap of his fingers.

Moreover, when their guns were aimed at the Qiongzhou Wei battleship, they did not hesitate at all.

Under the heavy artillery, everyone was bombarded into slag.

It's so ruthless!

He quickly thought in his mind that the opponent's firepower was too strong, and he had no chance of winning, and the only way was to rely on the speed advantage.

"Command, forward!"

"Your Excellency, are you sure you want to do this?"

The adjutant was also stupid, he didn't understand very much, in the face of such a behemoth, why don't you run and wait?

Prussia's face was heavy, and he said, "Look at the speed of that ship, we can't run away."

"However, their target is the Moray Eel......

The implication is to take advantage of the time won by the Moray Eel and run quickly!

How far can you run, how far you can run, in your lifetime, you will never come to Daming again.

Prussia shook his head and said, "If we turn around, the Moray Eel won't last much at all, so give the order to go down and move forward!"

At this time, the Moray Eel was already approaching the ironclad, and the two ships were facing each other.

Rumble!

On the Zheng He, the main gun was fired again, but the Moray Eel deftly dodged.

The cannonballs blasted out huge waves on the sea, and the Moray Eel took the opportunity to turn the rudder and aim its guns at the Ming ironclad.

At the same time, flames erupted from the muzzle of the Black Hole.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The shells hit them all, but ......

The hull of the Zheng He was barely affected, except for a few pits.

In front of the huge steel armor, these iron bumps seemed to be a joke. ….

The Moray Eel was very nimble, and immediately after a salvo, the rudder turned, and the two ships staggered by.

In the bilge of the Zheng He, Lu Qian seized the opportunity and immediately ordered an attack.

Bang!

Bang!

After all, artillery needs leads, and by the time the fire was fired, the Moray Eel had already passed by.

Seeing the waves stirring up on the sea, Captain John couldn't help but gasp.

God, if you are hit by these shells, you will be like the Flying Ray, you will be crushed to pieces, and there will be no scum left.

The two ships staggered by, and the Moray eel turned the rudder again, aiming its side at Zheng He.

"Fire...... Huh?"

Captain John was stunned as he saw another cannon barrel with a black hole.

This thing...... Isn't it in the bow of the ship?

How is there another one in the stern?

Rumble!

The secondary cannon fired, and the shells smashed straight into the Moray Eel.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder quickly......"

However, it was too late.

A cannon shot smashed on the side of the Moray Eel, and if it was an ordinary solid bullet, it might not have been fatal.

However, this is a flowering bomb.

Bang!

The cannonballs exploded, and the huge air waves tore the entire ship of the Moray Eel apart, the mast was broken, and it began to fall with a creak, and countless people flew flesh and blood......

Captain John was thrown straight out and fell into the sea along with countless wreckage.

Zhu Qizhen let out a heavy sigh, damn, you still want to poke Lao Tzu in the eye?

Let's give you a light first!

In the distance, on the Asia Minor, Prussia was again stunned.

Another round, and the Moray Eel was wiped out.

The gap between a traditional wooden warship and an ironclad is simply too great!

The terrifying disparity in strength makes people desperate.

"God, Moray Eel...... Gone!"

In the vast sea, only Zheng He and Asia Minor remained.

Both ships were moving towards each other, but Prussia was in complete despair.

He really couldn't think of how this battle should be fought.

"Your Excellency, we ...... It's time to get into range......

"Quick, raise the white flag!"

Prussia seemed to react, dancing and shouting.

On the Zheng He, the lookout hurriedly reported: "Report...... The enemy ship raises the white flag!"

Jin Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the other party has surrendered, and our army has won a complete victory!"

Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy, and he said, "It doesn't matter what flag he raises, give him a blast and beat him hard!"

Prussia was desperate to find that the other side did not seem to accept its surrender, but continued to speed up.

He finally realized what kind of monster he had provoked.

In an instant, four ships were wiped out.

All of this made him look like a clown, and all the previous naval combat experience and skills were completely subverted at this moment.

No matter what kind of tactics it is, it is so vulnerable in front of this giant ship.

Yes, in the face of absolute strength, all tricks lose their meaning.

On the Asia Minor, everyone stopped moving, they no longer had the courage to fight.

People keep kneeling down and praying, expecting miracles......

The Zheng He was still accelerating, and the huge hull swept in with a sense of desperate oppression.

The Asia Minor was sail-powered, and when the two ships approached, it was swept aside by the wind and waves of the Zheng He, like a leaf.

Immediately afterward, he saw the other party suddenly turn.

Yes, with a speed and rate that he could not comprehend, a sudden turn.

It's hard to imagine how such a huge battleship could have been managed......

He didn't need to think about it anytime soon, though.

Because the opposing artillery has already fired.

Bang!

Bang!

A steady stream of shells smashed wildly, then exploded.

The mast broke, the cabin blew up, and countless people fell in pools of blood.

Bang!

A shell hit the middle of the Little Asia and seemed to blow off the keel.

The whole ship broke in two, and then slowly sank.

Some of the survivors fell into the water with floating objects in their arms, struggling desperately in the water, shouting for help.

Jin Ying cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, is it ...... Capture a few captives and try them for trial?"

Zhu Qizhen looked at them coldly and said, "I can't understand what they are saying!"

"However, the whereabouts of the ironclad blueprint ......."

There are dragons in Nanshan
