"Overseer! It's my Ming warship! The sailor in charge of the lookout shouted.

Xie Xuelong took the telescope from the sailor on the side and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, I saw Zheng Zhilong's flag hanging on the warship in front of me that was fleeing in embarrassment, and at this time, the mast of the warship had been broken by a cannonball, and it was already in danger.

"Catch up! No need to warn, just fire! Xie Xuelong decisively gave the order to attack.

"Yes!" All the sailors on deck excitedly accepted the order and entered the combat position.

At this time, I have to talk about the flagship that Xie Xuelong is riding.

It is modeled as the ironclad ship "Dingyuan" of the former Beiyang Naval Division. The ship is 93 meters long, 18 meters wide, has a draft of 6 meters, and has a displacement of about 7,000 tons. There are four 305mm breech guns as the main gun, one 150mm breech secondary gun in the bow and one in the stern, and four 75mm Krupp guns. Except for the absence of torpedoes and swivel guns, the overall armament is basically on par with that of the "Dingyuan" ship. Zhu Youzhen named it "Shuntian".

The six warships in the back are slightly smaller, imitating the armored cruiser "Laiyuan" and the armored cruiser "Zhiyuan". They are named after the names of Yongping, Guangping, Hejian, Baoding, Zhending, Shunde and other prefectures.

These seven warships Dagu Shipyard spent a great deal of effort, invested considerable manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and Zhu Youjian customized many parts from the system that could not be made with current technology, so that these seven warships were successfully launched. This is also the reason why Fan Jingwen thinks that Zheng Zhilong is not enough to worry about after reading it. Only these seven warships cost more than 10 million taels of silver, which made Zhu Youzhen's internal money empty.

And the name of this fleet:

Blue Star First Fleet

The navy has also been secretly trained in the past two years, and the recruits are all seaside athletes who are well versed in water, and after more than half a year of training, they already have a good look. This was their first battle and the first for the new ship.

Everyone was very excited, and after receiving Xie Xuelong's order, the "Suncheon" conveyed the order to the battleship behind him through the walkie-talkie. The seven warships increased their horsepower and headed towards the two warships that were chasing and fleeing in the distance.

Fleeing in the distance was Zheng Zhilong's ship, and it was the ship that Zheng Zhihu had sent to Luzon a few days ago to deliver supplies. The leader of this ship is called Ma Jiabao, and it can be seen from the name that he is the treasure of the old Ma family.

But after three generations of single transmission, he was full of despair at this time. I thought it would be a good errand to go to sea to deliver supplies to the chief soldier, not only to go to sea to relax, but also to have the opportunity to make a familiar face in front of the chief soldier. But I saw that I was halfway through the journey and encountered an accident. To be exact, it cannot be considered an accident, because the other party is premeditated.

More than twenty warships surrounded and opened fire, and they naturally counterattacked, but how many guns could there be on the grain carrier? Soon, their ships were surrounded and sunk. When the four grain ships saw that the situation was not good, they no longer resisted, and ordered to turn their bows and run, and escaped from the encirclement by luck.

Ma Jiabao was one of them, but in the process of escaping, three more ships were sunk by the opponent's artillery, and Ma Jiabao's ship survived to the end. But it was also hit by a shell on the mast, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Listening to the whistling of the cannonballs beside him and the sound of falling into the water, Ma Jiabao secretly hated in his heart. ....Follow Zheng Zhilong on the sea all these years, when have you been humiliated like this!? Dog day! If Lao Tzu dies, he won't let go of you stinky guys!

Hey?

What is that?

Ma Jiabao rubbed his eyes.

"Sun Er was stunned! Do you see if there is a ship ahead!? Ma Jiabao said excitedly as he tugged on the arm of the little brother next to him.

"Brother Jiabao! Is there a ship? ”

"It's huge!"

"Hmmm! It's huge! ”

In addition to sighing, Ma Jiabao's heart sank.

This is not our Taiwanese ship, we do not have such a big ship in Taiwan.

"Quick! Veer! Ma Jiabao gave the order again. Since you can't tell whether it's friend or foe, let's avoid it first.

At the same time that Ma Jiabao discovered them, the Spanish warships chasing behind also discovered the fleet of Xuelong.

The Spanish fleet was full of galleons, the largest of which was loaded with 32 guns, and the smallest was also loaded with 18, and the questioner was called Neron, who was the commander of this fleet. At this time, his face was calm, and he didn't look like he was making waves, and destroying a Ming grain fleet was really not a commendable achievement for him. The reason why they are in hot pursuit is to completely eliminate them and prevent them from returning to Taiwan to deliver letters.

"What's that!?" Nelong shouted unconsciously.

The soldier next to him didn't reply, and quickly handed over a monocular.

Nelong looked at the fleet in the distance that was riding the wind and waves in this direction, and was stunned.

He lowered the binoculars and lifted them again.

Finally he was sure that it was a ship heading this way, a ship he had never seen before.

And every time the telescope is lifted and lowered, the other party seems to get closer.

What ship? So fast? Whose ship? Appear here?

He saw that Ma Jiabao began to turn, and decisively ordered a reversal of direction, making the same decision as Ma Jiabao.

Since you don't know whether you are friend or foe, avoid them.

It took some time for more than 20 warships to turn around, and Xie Xuelong's fleet was getting closer and closer, until it entered the range of the main guns of the "Shuntian" ship.

The ship "Suncheon" opened fire.

There were two cannon bangs, and two 305mm shells were fired with a roar.

A few miles away, a Spanish galleon in the U-turn fleet was forced to concentrate on the side of the ship, and the shells directly blew a huge gap in the ship.

Keeping a close eye on the other side's movements, he looked back at his own warship.

He only saw fire coming out of the two gun ports of the ship at the front, and when he turned around when he heard the sound, one of his ships was blown open a huge gap, and the sea water poured into it frantically, and it seemed that sinking was inevitable. Only one ship was shot, and it seems that the other shot should have missed.

"Enemy attack! Fight back! Nelong shouted, the situation was already very clear at this time, since the cannon had been fired, it must be the enemy. What else is there to say? Fight back and that's it.

In fact, no more than he said, the command of the ships had already ordered the artillery to return fire.

But watching the distant cannonballs shoot out, Nelong came to his senses.

The range is not enough!

Then how the fuck can the other side's artillery shoot so far? Or a flowering bomb! Our ships are equipped with the most advanced artillery in the world! Why can't you compare to each other?

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, wild fruit reading, and install the latest version. 】

Xie Xuelong, who was also holding a telescope in the distance, raised a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and then ordered all ships to attack with all their might.

It would have been a surprise to have just been hit on a ship, but what happened next was unbelievable in Nelon's eyes.

The guns of the seven battleships roared, and one shell after another was fired at the flotilla of Nelon.

One, two, three.

Neron watched as more and more ships were hit by the enemy's artillery, and his own shells did not even touch the enemy's hair.

"Retreat!" Seeing the disparity in strength between the two sides, Nelong did not hesitate to give the order to retreat.
