So Cromwell immediately issued an order: "There are too few artillery guns in the Ming Dynasty, so it cannot be allowed to fire from a long distance. All warships immediately surrounded it and approached the bombardment!"

It turned out that he observed that this kind of warship with great power was not the ordinary type that had many artillery on both sides of the warship, but the artillery at the head of the ship, and the number of artillery was very small. Even the artillery at the tail of the ship would not exceed twenty.

Therefore, Cromwell immediately thought of a way to deal with it, and used his military strength to approach the attack!

The "weakness" of this Ming warship was also noticed by the famous Swedish general Karl Gustav Flanger and the commander of the Dutch fleet Anthony. He is worthy of being a famous general and issued military orders similar to Cromwell.

For a moment, under the leadership of the warships of several countries, they saw the dense warships on the sea, like sharks smelling blood, rushing towards the Ming warships one after another.

"Okay, I should fight like this!" Da Kong Dai and others on the shore saw it from afar and immediately praised.

To give full play to the advantages of military strength is what a general should do.

The Ming Dynasty had few warships and insufficient troops, so we had to catch this "weakness" of the Ming Dynasty fleet and beat them hard.

"Not good!" Theodosio, the Portuguese king, changed his face and said in a daze.

Just now, when he saw several Spanish warships explode and caught fire, he soon realized that the Ming army might have invented new weapons and was happy, and saw that all the warships from European countries rushed over frantically. This was a two-fist fight that could not match four hands. No matter how powerful the new weapons were, they could not resist too many enemy ships?

For a moment, Theodosio didn't know how much he was worried.

"Boom boom boom..."

On the sea, cannons were roaring.

Warships from various countries were also firing fires while rushing over. Even if they couldn't, they could disrupt the morale of the Ming army soldiers.

The Ming warships were also firing fires. There is no doubt that, whether it was accurate or the rate of fire, they were obviously much better than the artillery of warships from European countries.

Moreover, every time a fire is fired, several warships from various European countries will explode and catch fire.

Under the pounce of warships from European countries, the Ming Dynasty warships seemed to have noticed the crisis and did not fight again. Instead, they retreated and kept a distance to fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of cannons on the sea became the only movement near Little Nanjing. Everyone was watching the ongoing naval battle.

The only difference is that the Portuguese and Ming merchants in Little Nanjing were both nervous and worried. Most of the soldiers from European countries had a relaxed attitude of watching the show.

However, as time passed, the mentality of both sides gradually changed.

Just when I heard Theodosio and other Portuguese gradually became excited and loudly shared their new discoveries with their companions around me.

"Look, it seems that the Ming warships have more power. I see that they have not seen it, especially those warships without paddle wheels. They have kept their distance and were not caught up by enemy ships, and they seem to be more flexible!"

"That's right, those enemy ships rushed to the front all caught fire and exploded! Haha, deserve it!"

“…”

The soldiers from European countries, including generals such as Dakong Dai, did not speak, and there was no smile on their faces.

If this continues, even if the fleets of European countries can win, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses!

Cromwell, Carl Gustav Flanger and others naturally discovered this. They were all capable people and immediately dispatched warships to start a large-scale encirclement, no longer giving Ming warships more room to fly kites.

Their faces were all ashen.

Because most of the warships hit by Ming artillery exploded and caught fire. Such powerful artillery, or shells, are really devil's weapons and the terminator of naval warfare. If the Ming warships were not too small, or if the warships gathered from so many European countries this time, they would not be able to fight at all.

Nearly six hundred warships were left, but no one was left to deal with the Portuguese warships that rushed out of the port of Lisbon, and all went to encircle and suppress the Ming fleet.

However, as time passes, every time the warship explodes and catches fire, you can't watch your warship sink, right? You must have to separate the warships for rescue.

As a result, the number of warships participating in the war gradually decreased.

There were only about half left, and there were more than 200 warships participating in the war, and the warships of European countries finally surrounded the Ming fleet.

"This time, let's see how you run!" Cromwell said angrily.

At the same time, he also issued a military order, if he could fight with the Ming warships, he would fight with the Ming warships and capture the Ming warships. If he could not, he would sink it, so that the Ming warships could not fall into the hands of other countries.

That's right, he is coveting the artillery on the Ming warships.

So does Cromwell, and so does Carl Gustav Flanger.

Whoever masters the new artillery of the Ming Dynasty will be invincible in this sea area of ​​Europe!

However, the continued war once again exceeded their expectations.

Although the fleets of various countries surrounded the Ming fleet and began to surround and launch an attack, after artillery began to threaten the Ming warships, they actually discovered an incredible fact.

Just saw that their iron bombs finally hit the Ming warship, but they could not cause any damage to the Ming warships at all. At most, it would be a pit!

"What's going on? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty warships are really made of iron, not just covered with a layer of iron?"

At this moment, including Cromwell and others who were observing it, they were all stunned.

The subsequent facts proved that their guess was not wrong.

The fleets of both sides were close together, and more warships of the European Combined Fleet were smashed, and many iron bombs of European warships hit the Ming warships, but at most it caused some minor damage to the Ming warships and could not cause fatal damage to the Ming warships at all.

There is no doubt that there is only one conclusion that can explain this situation, that is, the Ming Dynasty warships are all iron armored warships!

And such warships are at least the dozen warships rushing in the front.

They line up, firing fire and rushing around. Instead, these Ming warships are like real king sharks in the sea, rampant in this "fish school" of European countries, swallowing one European warship after another.

On this battlefield, all warships were busy fighting, so there were no warships to deal with the explosion and fire. For a moment, there were warships that were about to sink on fire. A lot of dumplings had already been placed on the sea, and Europeans were shouting "Help".

There were even several unlucky European warships that were hit by the Ming artillery, or ignited their ammunition depot after the explosion. From time to time, a shocking explosion sounded, and the warships disintegrated instantly.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of cannons is the only main theme here. There are also many weaker sounds, that is, "dumplings" are shouting "Help".

After an hour of the war, the "harmed" Ming iron-armored warships were still rushing around. The warships of European countries could not cause substantial damage to such iron-armored warships, nor did they find a power system to destroy them.

On the contrary, on the sea, warships from various European countries were everywhere that were sinking or sinking. The people on the sea were surging, and the blood even attracted a large group of sharks.

At this time, although there were more than 200 warships from various European countries, it was obvious that they were all cowardly.

The Dutch fleet, which suffered heavy losses, even directly raised the white flag and surrendered. Then, they were busy saving their accomplices who fell into the water. There was no way, the Netherlands was just a few people who died because they could not bear such a large casualty.

The warships of other countries have no longer had the momentum they had before. A discerning person can see at a glance that the combined fleets of European countries will be defeated in this naval battle.

At this time, the Ming Fleet also began to change its style of play. The armored warships were divided into several teams, regardless of other warships, and they looked at the flagships of various countries and launched an attack.

"The Ming Dynasty is a thousand victories!" Theodosio on the shore first came back from his stunned shock and cheered in ecstasy.

When the people next to him heard his shout, they immediately came to their senses and cheered loudly.

After a while, the people in Little Nanjing, whether they saw the naval battle or not, cheered in unison with the rhythm.

"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

“…”

This shout has been moving westward from the Central Plains and now echoes over Europe.

The invincible military power of the Ming Dynasty was engraved into the bones of every Portuguese in the little Nanjing city.

Of course, the generals from European countries such as the Great Confucian Period were completely opposite to them.

Of course they saw that the joint fleet would probably collapse completely if it would not last long.

Naval battle, lost!

This is absolutely no one could have thought of beforehand!

"No, I will never lose!" Da Kong Dai stared at the domineering Ming warship on the sea, suddenly turned his head and said to other generals in a decisive tone, "We still have a chance, we must win this battle!"

The other famous French general Tirena immediately came to his senses and understood the idea of ​​Dakongde. He nodded immediately and said resolutely: "Yes, we still have a chance. We must not lose this battle!"

It has gathered so many naval and army from European countries to attack Portugal. If it fails so much, the consequences of failure will definitely not be something they can bear.

No matter how much the price you pay, you must win this battle. Otherwise, the sky of Europe will be red!

Thinking of this, Daconde, Tirena and others turned their horses one by one and rushed back to their military camp like crazy.

Not long after, more than 200,000 troops from all European countries began to assemble and rushed towards Lisbon.
Chapter completed!
