Chapter 794: Battle of the Tamjiang Sea

However, it is said to be blocked, but in fact, it is only barely supported, and it will not collapse. Seeing that the military and civilian resistance of Danjiang Port is tenacious and it is not easy to occupy this place, Philip immediately made a decision, no longer taking the occupation of Danjiang Port as the priority, but looting and burning in the port to accumulate wealth.

After all, Dawan Island is very vast, and even if it cannot occupy it as a base, it can find another place to build a port again. Or simply set sail to the west or south, occupy the ports of the South Seas or the poisonous region, and then oppose the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, it is this Danjiang Port, which has gathered a lot of hard work of the Li family of the Cao Guo Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is looted, it can not only deter the Ming court, but also make a big deal to boost the morale of the fleet and sailors under his command.

After all, not all of their ships were British...... There were also quite a few other European businessmen. Such as Venice, Franc machine. Because Philip and Philut won the status of a tributary state for Britain, these Europeans also pretended to be Britons in order to gain more profitable profits in trade with the Ming.

However, this time Philip and Firut overturned, and their merchants who falsely claimed to be Britons were naturally affected...... If it weren't profitable, they wouldn't follow Philip's instructions. and even other British merchants...... Most of them came from nobles from all over Britain, and it was because they smelled the benefits of trade with the Ming Dynasty that they went to the East. Most of these people are above the top, and they may not listen to the two.

In order to hold this group of loose sand together, it is necessary to let them eat meat. Philip knew that these people had a greedy nature in their bones, and for them, as long as they could lead them to their advantage, they would listen to him.

As for whether to be a merchant or a pirate...... And who cares?

As a result, the port of Tamjiang, which was still fighting, was ablaze with fire. The Xiyi sailors who landed fought with the soldiers and civilians of Danjiang Port on the one hand, and plundered this port soaked in Li Jinglong's painstaking efforts and built by the Ming soldiers and civilians and the Gaoshan people with great difficulty. The crazy European sailors were already red-eyed when they saw the wealth in the port of Tamjiang.

This group of merchants who were not allowed to enter the Ming Dynasty have all become vicious pirates.

So much so that when Li Jinglong's fleet returned to Danjiang Port, looking at the smoke and flames rising into the sky on the coastline, the prince of the Duke of Cao, who had always pursued elegance and gentlemanly demeanor, was rarely blinded and thundered.

"This group of Rakshasa devils actually played a trick for my master...... Full sails! Hang the sails! ”

"Master, I'm going to smash their thief ship!"

Although the treasure ship under Li Jinglong's seat was extremely fat, it also had many sails, and Li Jinglong ordered a full sail in a hurry, and the sailors did not dare to disobey. In an instant, many of the sails on the treasure ship were stretched and bulged, and the speed of the huge treasure ship increased suddenly, much faster than the other ships.

The ships of the other South Sea Fleets saw that their flagships were also full of sails. All of a sudden, the entire fleet cleaved the waves and pressed towards the British fleet outside the port of Tamjiang. The treasure ship under the seat of Cao Guogong and Li Xiaogong is like a cannonball, with a fierce momentum, and it rushed to the forefront in the first place.

At this time, the fleet of Europeans, led by Philip and Firut, was still docked at the port of Tamkang Port, and their sailors were still fighting on the shore with the tenacious Tamgang soldiers and civilians......

"The Ming fleet? How did you come back so quickly? On the British's flagship, Philip, who had been holding a goblet and watching the fire on the shore, was so stunned that he didn't even know that the bottle of wine of great value had been spilled on the placket of his coat.

He was puzzled, even if the Ming army found out that the port that was being built was a suspicious soldier, he should not react so quickly that they wanted to attack the West Danjiang Port so quickly, so as to come back to help so quickly.

He could never have imagined that the White Lotus believers, whom they had bought with a lot of money and who seemed to be very respectful and hardworking, had already sold them to the Britons before the Ming army could make a temptation. They never imagined that the British sailors they left in that place and thought they were enough to control the situation were actually no match for those White Lotus believers who were not amazing......

"Damn, don't think about it so much, Philip, Daming's ship is coming...... My God, is their commander crazy......" Seeing that Philip was still stunned, Firut jumped to his feet in a hurry. Although their fleet saw the approaching Ming fleet, the sailors were still burning on the shore and had no time to board the ship.

And that Ming flagship...... It's coming too fast!

"Boom!" While Firut was still in a hurry, the Ming flagship, which was flying the Li flag, had already crashed into the British fleet that had no time to evacuate like a cannonball. The tall hull and terrible tonnage of the treasure ship crashed into several European multi-masted galleons in an instant.

Li Jinglong was angry and did not choose an artillery battle, but directly chose to crash into these Xiyi fleets, although reckless, but also accidentally struck with the effect of a surprise attack. In the fleet of Europeans docked at the port, there was a sudden rush of chickens and dogs.

"Quick! Hurry aboard...... Don't rob it! My God! This is the treasure ship of the Ming army! Firut trembled with fright at the mountain of treasure ships. Their flagship is already a very tall and sturdy ship in Europe. However, compared to this treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, the tip of the mast of their flagship could not even touch the tall side of the treasure ship. From their point of view, the mast of the treasure ship is more like a direct puncture of the blue sky......

Firut had seen this kind of treasure ship before, and that was when they went to Fengmingzhou under the protection of the Fengmingzhou fleet of the Ming Dynasty. It was precisely because of the deterrence of this tall and terrifying sea beast that they never dared to disobey the rules set by the Ming people when they were in the reckless land of Fengming Continent, which was ownerless on all sides.

Otherwise, they would have found a way to take possession of the vein of gold flowing everywhere.

Now that this treasure ship has collided, for Firut, it really feels like the earth has collapsed and the mountains have been destroyed. Although he made up his mind to plunder the Ming Dynasty and let the Ming court take back his fate, he never thought of confronting the Nanyang Fleet with such a terrible treasure ship. Philip was more sensible, he found that the other party's flagship had crashed into the shallow sea, and immediately rejoiced: "Quick, surround that flagship!" ”

"Since such a large ship has stopped, there must be no way to turn around and leave easily...... God, if we can take this big ship of the East, we will send it! ”
