Chapter 94 Dragon Plan No. 15: Mysterious Fleet (Part 2)
Twenty miles southeast of Nanao Automobile, a huge fleet is trekking in the stormy waves.
The fleet was obviously divided into two teams. The sudden front was a battleship fleet, composed of a first-class battleship and two second-class battleships. The one among them was extremely tall, which was a first-class battleship.
There is a woodcarved statue of the Ascension of the Virgin on its bow hanging on the inclined truss of the ship. Below is a huge oil painting. The red crown is directly above the oil painting, the stone pillars of the castle palace are on both sides, and six small paintings in the middle:
On the top left is a castle, symbolizing the Kingdom of Castile;
On the upper right is a white lion wearing a crown, symbolizing the Kingdom of Leon;
The lower left is a golden-red vertical stripe, symbolizing the Kingdom of Aragon;
The lower right is a red-bottomed golden chain, symbolizing the Kingdom of Navarra;
The bottom crown pomegranate on white background symbolizes the Kingdom of Granada;
The red-edged and blue-bottomed golden iris in the middle symbolizes the Bourbon dynasty.
Obviously, this is a giant ship from the Kingdom of Spain!
Behind it are five armed merchant ships, which are also the king's badges of the Kingdom of Spain.
Behind the armed merchant ship is another battleship fleet, and on the bow tilt is a wooden statue of Jesus' Crucifix, and the oil painting below is another scene:
There is also a crown on the top, and a golden lion stands on the crown;
On the left is an enlarged version of this lion, representing England;
On the right is a white unicorn, representing Scotland;
Below is a harp, representing Northern Ireland;
There are four small paintings in the middle:
The upper left is three golden lions, representing the first three kings of England: the King of England, the Duke of Normandy, and the Duke of Aquitaine;
The yellow-bottomed red lion on the upper right symbolizes the domination of Scotland;
The harp on the lower left represents the Kingdom of Ireland;
There are three golden lions on the lower right, which has the same meaning as the upper left.
The British king once served as the French king, and his badge was also dotted with iris.
Obviously, this is a warship from the UK!
Compared with Spain in front of them, there were only three battleships and five armed merchant ships, all the British were battleships. In addition to the "St. Edward" just now, there were three second-class battleships and five third-class battleships!
Behind the British fleet are four armed merchant ships, four of which are obviously in a group, but they do not hang flags that mark their identity.
Finally, there is an armed merchant ship, and a fleet of six Guangzhou and Fu Ships that obviously come from China. Whether it is an armed merchant ship or Guangzhou and Fu Ships, Fu Ships, the ships are very worn out, and it is much shabby compared to the European warships in front.
They hung flags with the pattern of the Queen of Heaven subduing the sea dragon.
A strange combination, but it is indeed an extremely powerful and huge fleet!
Soon, they were discovered by a nearby Iron-armored Saiyinzi.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties was standing on the Spanish first-class battleship "San Martin", who was in the forefront, wearing a black ship-shaped hat, a tight blue tuxedo, a white vest, a white tight trouser, and a black high-tight leather boot.
The yellowish-brown sideburns have penetrated deep under the cheekbones.
The eyes and cheeks are deep, but the skeleton is thick and looks very ferocious.
Jose Antonio Guterres, we call him Guterres, the second-ranked figure in the jurisdiction of the Philippines, the military leader, and the lieutenant general of the Kingdom of the Kingdom.
Guterres obviously saw the ship roaring from time to time in the distance with black smoke. Although he had expected to encounter the Truqin warship in advance before coming, it was still a big surprise for him to go forward to the vicinity of NAAUA to investigate.
I saw his right cheek move, and at this moment he was obviously thinking about countermeasures.
"This place is hundreds of miles away from Hong Kong Island. It is impossible for them to patrol such a distance, so..."
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Blow the trumpet, warning!"
However, there was still a man standing beside him, and he was dressed in a Spanish navy general, looking younger than him. After hearing this, he said: "Your Excellency, since the Truchens have found this, it means that their fleet is nearby. We...we are here to help the British, since that's the case..."
Guterres also woke up.
"Dear Carvalho, you're right. In this way, there's still a distance from the NAAu Automobile in front. If the enemy has arrived here in advance, it will definitely be there to shelter from the wind. It's better to do this..."
Soon, the flagship of the British fleet "St. Edward" followed closely behind, received the news that the Spanish passed by in flag language.
"Our flagship has two clairvoys entangled together and are working hard to untie it. It will take some time. In this way, the speed of the ship will be reduced. Please take your country's ship first"
There was also a man standing on the "St. Edward". He was a little older than Guterres, and his clothes were similar, but he was in a black tuxedo. In fact, he also discovered the little black dot with black smoke just now. After receiving the news from the Spanish, he immediately understood what they meant.
Rodney, commander of the British Empire's North American naval.
"Fake!"
He cursed inwardly, but he still let the fleet form a battle formation.
"Let James lead his fleet to speed up and make him pay attention. The closer he gets to SAU, the more vigilant you should be"
James, the captain of the second-class battleship of the "St. James", was originally the captain of another second-class battleship. He was named James by Lieutenant General Rodney, the captain who was temporarily appointed as the "St. James".
Soon, James took a second-class battleship, and three third-class battleships accelerated and rushed to the front.
However, when he rushed to the front, the little black dot just now had no trace.
James was in his thirties and was a student of Indian Admiral Sanders, who was defeated by the Truchens before. After receiving Rodney's order, he did not hesitate at all and immediately set off with his own squadron.
For sail warships, the so-called speed-up can only do one thing when the wind direction is consistent: raise the spinnades in front and behind or the wing sails on both sides.
When sailing, at least the wing sails on both sides will not rise, but since you see the black spots emitting black smoke, it means you will soon enter a state of combat, and it is appropriate to raise all the sails.
The battleship masts and sails are numerous, which means that as long as you master it properly, you can use the tailwind and the crosswind continuously adjust the angle between the wind direction to achieve faster speed.
At this time, the Spanish fleet, which had already landed in the middle, issued a warning call.
This made the armed merchant ships and other miscellaneous fleets behind them also nervous.
The four armed merchant ships in the penultimate sequence seemed to be deliberately concealing their identities, but their ships, sailors, were obviously Europeans.
They obviously did not come as the main force, but came to take advantage of the troubled waters. After hearing the warning signal, they not only did not speed up, but instead lowered some sailing gear, so that the real miscellaneous fleet at the end surpassed them.
The person standing on the ship of the miscellaneous fleet was obviously East Asia and Southeast Asian. On the only armed merchant ship, a middle-aged man with a beard opened his clothes, revealing his strong muscles and sparse chest hair. He was barefoot and his trousers were rolled up, revealing his two strong legs.
This person is the largest Chinese pirate leader between the Philippine Islands and Borneo Island, the Makassar Islands. His surname is Zhang, and no one knows his original name, but whenever Zhang Fei of Sulu Island is mentioned, everyone knows it.
Zhang Fei saw that the four armed merchant ships in front actually slowed down, and there was a deep contempt in his eyes. After a roar of drums, his seven ships quickly passed over the four armed merchant ships and immediately moved forward.
NAAUA.
When the fleet commander Zhuang Jiyun was also excited when he learned that the potential enemy had finally become a reality.
"Your Highness is so amazing. He actually guessed that this potential enemy is from this direction, and time is always right!"
In order to cope with the potential crisis, Timur has drawn two wooden Batulus from Singapore and Hongji Port in the past few months. After receiving the signal from the Saiyin number, he immediately issued an order.
"Try it again!"
When Saiyin number returned again, he received new news.
"Commander, the enemy ships are divided into three groups. The first group is all battleships, with a total of nine ships. They are under the banner of the British, and four of them suddenly emerge. The distance between the two groups is about one mile"
"Then were the Spanish fleets, with three battleships and five armed merchant ships, and the distance between them and the British was about five miles."
"There should be the pirate ships invited by Europeans to take advantage of the situation. If you guess correctly, it should be the fish that sneaked into Hongji Port last time. The distance between them and the Spaniards is about five miles."
"There are four armed merchant ships, which do not hang flags and have unknown identities, but they were originally before the pirate ship, but now they have been dragged to the end, obviously they are preparing to watch the tiger fight in the mountains"
Zhuang Jiyun nodded and thought to himself: "I only have one iron-armored Bogda, four iron-armored Batulu, four wooden Batulu, and two Saiyin. If the enemies flock together, it will be a big test, but they will not blame me for their own death."
"Send the flag immediately"
"Two Saiyin ships immediately went south to deal with the pirate ships and unidentified armed merchant ships behind the Spaniards"
"The remaining ships headed towards the British fleet at full speed!"
Soon, he brought a Bogda and eight Batulus to meet James's fleet of forwards.
He climbed to the watchtower and observed for a while, and said, "The Spanish fleet is away from the British."
It's getting farther and farther away, obviously I don't want to be completely involved in this battle. I mostly have the intention of taking advantage of the situation to rob, which is great"
"But it is not guaranteed that just as we were fighting the British, the Spaniards suddenly accelerated and rushed over"
After looking at the two towering chimneys of the Bogda, I hesitated for a moment and issued an order.
"The First Squadron suddenly stepped forward and penetrated through the British fleet in front. Remember, all armor-piercing grenades are loaded, don't be afraid of hurting the chimney. Our ship's side is very high, which can offset the impact of some shells. As long as the chimney is not broken, it can still support it for a while."
"Once the chimney is broken, put it in a spare one!"
