Philip paid close attention to the movements of the Ming court, and he knew that such a treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was the result of the Ming court's efforts in the past few years.

If such a sea beast is captured, not to mention its own value, their own strength will definitely increase dramatically. After all, if you want to sail across the vast sea to reach Fengming Continent, you can only do it by relying on such a huge ship...... Their small boats are fine along the coastline, but if they want to cross the vast sea without the guidance of a large ship, they will definitely be swallowed by the wind and waves.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty also had many advanced navigation technologies that they did not know, such as how to prevent scurvy and how to build watertight cabins...... If the treasure ship is captured, it is not impossible to be crowned a duke!

Being able to find opportunities in the midst of crisis, Philip's resilience is not insignificant. Firut was stunned, but also realized that this was the best opportunity to defeat the Ming Nanyang Naval Division: as long as the opponent's flagship was captured, wouldn't this naval division force be defeated without attacking?

As a result, the hurried Europeans, under the command of Philip's flagship, directly divided into two sides, bypassing the collision angle at the very front of the treasure ship, intending to clamp Li Jinglong's ship between the two.

"Little grandfather...... This, this, danger, danger! Steward Li Gui jumped to his feet anxiously.

Li Jinglong was also suddenly startled, although the speed of the treasure ship was fast with the help of the wind, it was fat after all, and it was indeed not easy to turn around. However, looking at the Xiyi ships outflanked on both sides, this guy did not sit still, but gave an order in his heart: "Quick, I will bombard the master!" Fuck it! ”

It can be said that the reason why Li Jinglong dared to fight a naval battle was because he only thought about using artillery in his mind. The doctrine of firepower superiority has been approved by his fifth uncle Zhu Su, whom he has always respected, and Li Jinglong is naturally full of thoughts about it. It's just that Fang Cai forgot to order the sail to be lowered in a hurry, so that he plunged into this thief pile.

Moreover, the ships of these Xiyi thieves were too close to the port of Danjiang, and if they were to shell rashly, Li Jinglong was really afraid that he would accidentally injure the military and civilian friends in the port of Danjiang. Now seeing this group of Xiyi taking the initiative to divide into two sides, I can't help but be overjoyed: the cannons on the treasure ship were originally mounted on both sides of the ship's side. Now this group of thieves has taken the initiative to outflank them from both sides, isn't this taking the initiative to send them towards their own muzzles?

Boom, boom! On the treasure ship, those terrible cannons rang out, like the neighing of this sea beast.

"Don't be afraid, rush forward! This weapon can't deal with enemies that come close! Philip shouted. He had also seen the cannons on Da Mingbao's ship, after all, there were many sea sharks and giant whales in the Pacific Ocean at this time. At this time, the Daming Fengmingzhou fleet, which was responsible for leading the way for them, would be responsible for firing cannons to frighten off these giant beasts blocking the way on the sea.

Therefore, he naturally knew that the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was equipped with this kind of cannon that could make a terrible roar.

But after all, he didn't personally appreciate the power of the cannon, and thought that the cannon of the Ming Dynasty was not much different from the bulky earthen cannons used by the Yuan people to show off their might. At this time, most of the Europeans still used ramming bows and arrows in naval battles, or they directly engaged the enemy ships to kill them.

But even if they escaped the roaring cannon fire and reached the treasure ship, they drove the ship into the thick hull of the treasure ship, and often the corners of their own bow were damaged and broken, and they could not dig holes in the solid treasure ship.

Not to mention the bow and the broadside. They raised their bows and arrows as if they were looking up at the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, and they could not even see the figures on the deck. As for the broadboard...... With such a huge difference in height, whether you can climb up under bumps is still two words......

Philip also noticed the embarrassing situation of his own fleet. At this time, he discovered that the naval warfare methods used in Europe were of no use to the treasure ships of the Ming army......

"There are really people who are close to the left." Li Jinglong stood on the deck, gritting his teeth and letting the artillerymen pour out valuable shells. Seeing that there were already a lot of enemy ships that could not be hit by the cannons, he angrily ordered: "Fight, change to flowers and bullets!" Throw me a grenade to my master! The group of Rakshasa devils to fight does not exist! ”

At this time, the Nanyang Fleet behind had also arrived, and the powerful Ming warships were like sharp axes, splitting Xiyi's fleet and coming to the rescue of the entangled Li Jinglongzao. Although the treasure ship is sturdy, the clatter of being hit by a group of small shrimp on the hull still makes the sailors and soldiers on and off the treasure ship feel very annoying. So, the solid ammunition of the ship's guns was replaced by hollow flowering shells, and the soldiers also took out grenades for throwing, and a large pile of bits and pieces were scattered on the deck of the treasure ship like a goddess scattering flowers.

Then, with a boom, there was another terrible explosion on the sea, and suddenly there was a terrible death zone on the sea that circled the treasure ship: there were burning ships and masts everywhere, and many of them were even blown up into wood. Blonde corpses are strewn across the sea, and the survivors pray for God's protection as they frantically paddle the broken ship to escape from this terrifying sea beast!

"Demons, demons...... Literally the embodiment of the demon that rules the sea! Philip looked at the Great Ming Treasure Ship still standing on the sea with shocked eyes. He knew that such a warship must be terrifying, but seeing the mighty treasure ship with his own eyes, he realized that he still did not expect even a tenth of this kind of warship to be terrible......

This group of Xiyi people finally coaxed. Without the commander's order, the Xiyi bandits, who had gathered temporarily, finally turned into a plate of scattered sand and began to flee in all directions with only their own care.

"Quick, defeat these thief ships and put out the fire!" Li Jinglong hurriedly ordered. The flagship treasure ship, which almost single-handedly defeated many Xiyi sea ships, slowly moved forward, and countless sailors and officers and soldiers on board rushed down......

The Nanyang sailors won, and they won very beautifully. Li Jinglong used his own strength to scuttle through the formation of thieves and defeat countless thieves...... Such a brave record, if it is passed on to the sky, to say the least, he will have to earn the name of a general, no less than a father.

However, his face was ugly, the port of Tamjiang was destroyed, and the port he had worked so hard to build was destroyed in the war because he fell for the tactics of those Western Yisheng to attack the west. The flames that were still burning diluted the joy of his killing and meritorious service, and the great loss made his heart continue to drip blood.

“…… Little grandfather, I'll wait for a little calculation. This time, the investment of at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in my Cao Guo Mansion will be in vain......" Li Gui cautiously came to Li Jinglong's side and said cautiously.
