602. Chapter 602 Show the enemy weak

Qian Wubing could clearly see that the size of the other party's ship was between 300 and 500 pieces, but their sails were much more than those on his own ship. This meant that in terms of volume, his own

Although the ships in the fleet have an advantage, they really can't compare to these guys in terms of speed.

Large size is an advantage in terms of loading capacity, but in this kind of battle, it may not be an advantage. Especially the opponent's artillery. Although the power is not easy to judge, it is obviously different from the Far East fleet that was destroyed last time.

Compared with the fleet, the opponent's firepower was much stronger. With all these factors combined, he really didn't have much confidence that he could keep them.

Especially, in the battle with the Bili people, these Spanish sailing ships grasped the position of the battlefield quite well. After the battle, they adjusted their posture to the best at the first moment - they could advance, attack, retreat or escape.

This extremely professional fighting method is not something that my unprofessional armed merchant fleet can possess.

Moreover, he had some bad thoughts in his mind. As far as he knew, from the Ming Dynasty to the southeast coast, apart from some colonial points, the only remaining Spanish force, the Far East Fleet squadron, had been removed by himself.

, even if the remaining colonies can gather these three ships, but judging from the opponent's almost provocative attitude towards their own fleet, these are not three helpless ships - they must

Still rely on!

Qian Wubing's mind was spinning quickly. He immediately thought of the return of the Spanish Far East Fleet. Although this was much faster than the two years he expected, in this world, even the Romans from Europe

Everything that comes along can happen, so what else can’t happen?

The silence on the shore finally slowly turned into a commotion. The mud man belatedly started shouting and yelling, which filled Qian Wubing's ears, which made him frown in disgust.

He admired the bloody spirit of the Boli people. Until the last moment of the battle, not a single Boli warship escaped. These soldiers deserved his admiration, but at the same time, he despised the recklessness of the Boli people, who did not even know the strength of the enemy.

, just rushing forward with such blood is called stupidity.

Just thinking about it, he felt that he had handled things well. Although he was conservative, he would never make unnecessary sacrifices.

"Sir! They moved!"

The ironclad ships of the Four Seas Fleet in the port are slowly unfolding. The port of the Bilimen is still too small. When there is no war, all the ships in the fleet are anchored here. Although it is a bit crowded, it does not matter much. However,

At this time, if there is no space, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the fleet.

The merchant ships, which were not many armed, were naturally at the innermost level of the port. What slowly emerged, looking for their own space, were naturally the eight huge ironclad ships. Compared with the three provocative Spanish warships opposite,

, the smallest of them was more than twice the size of the Spanish warship. Regardless of the firepower, the visual difference alone was enough to appease the panicked civilians and soldiers on the shore behind them.

"It's the battleship of the Ming people!"

On the Spanish warship's fortress, an officer in captain's uniform slowly put down the telescope in his hand and smiled.

"Lean further and see if you can reach the shooting range!" he ordered.

They are testing the bottom line of the Ming people step by step, just like a brave scout approaching a group of barbarians. This is risky. They don't know when the spears in the hands of the barbarians will fly to their heads. However, they have

Ambition, a thousand soldiers can conquer India. Why can't three warships armed to the teeth be able to annihilate this seemingly powerful fleet in front of them? The battle just showed that these warships, well, even if they are warships, they

Their combat effectiveness is obviously not much better than those pirates who are almost extinct in Lisbon!

Of course, if there were too many flying spears, they would choose to retreat. However, they would not be willing to test it before retreating.

Perhaps these huge "capital ships", just like before, don't even have a single cannon installed? If so, this huge feat will not be achieved by other colleagues.

"Don't be anxious, all ships are not allowed to move rashly, let them in!" Qian Wubing looked at the three sailboats approaching the port cautiously, with a sneer on his lips. Although they still maintained the necessary caution, what did he think?

These three ships are like three little thieves who broke into their own camp in the dark night. If I don't take the initiative to chase you away, you will get stuck in your eyes.

Three Spanish warships slowly approached. The eight warships that had already protruded towards the port faced several of them. Under the command of the flag of the flagship, they slowly turned to avoid these Spanish ships.

The intention of the warships is very obvious. If you still look at it from the perspective of the Spanish warships fighting against the clay men just now, in front of this wide port, eight ironclads are like a latch, blocking the front of the port, and the Spanish

The warship was like a nail about to drive into the door bolt, hesitantly heading towards the door bolt.

From another perspective, if the Spaniards had just used T-shaped tactics to annihilate the Bolimen's fleet, their ambition would have caused them to unknowingly change their position to the position of the Bolimen just now.

, the T-shaped horizontal head of the ironclad ship, but they, unknowingly, turned into the vertical one that could easily be tragic! It’s just that the Bili people didn’t know that there was such a tactic, and they were

I knew it, but it was because I was so stupid that I completely forgot about this tactic.

"Bang!" An armored ship on the flank of the Spanish finally couldn't help but fire, and this fire also showed Qian Wubing's plan to weaken the enemy and lure them deeper. It was shattered with one cannon. At this time,

Qian Wubing no longer had time to worry about who disobeyed his order and opened fire. In his ears, the deafening sound of cannons rang out one after another. The sound of cannons was the order. The cannons on each warship had been prepared long ago.

The gunners all thought it was the flagship that had given the order to attack, and they unanimously lit the fuse in front of them.

The Spanish warship in the lead was naturally the most unlucky. The gunner must have aimed the first shot for a long time. The tallest mast on the ship almost broke at the sound, and the huge mast roared.

It fell down and crushed a group of unlucky people on the ship. Those who were not crushed were hiding on the deck one after another, as if they had avoided the mast and were about to avoid their destruction!

Of course, all this was a delusion. The artillery fire that came one after another made them unable to escape. There really was nowhere to escape. Hundreds of artillery fire hit a ship at the same time. The movement was bigger than what they had just seen.

There was more movement, as if a hurricane was blowing on the sea. After the hurricane, the mighty warship just now was left with what looked like a bathtub. Everything on the deck, including people, masts, sails, and Spanish

The fortresses on the warship that they were proud of were all swept away by the steel storm, and this bathtub-like thing would not stay on the sea for long. There were countless holes all over the bathtub.

Sea water is being poured into it gurglingly.

There was not a long interval between the first wave of strikes and the second wave of strikes. However, during this interval, the second Spanish warship still fired back with the artillery fire they had prepared long ago.

This round of bombardment was aimed at Qian Wubing's flagship. Qian Wubing's flagship was the largest and most powerful in the port. Even if they were struggling to their death, these Spaniards still wanted to die and become more powerful.

Somewhat valuable.

This was the only Spanish counterattack in this battle. The consequence of this counterattack was that some of the iron sheets on Qian Wubing's flagship were knocked off. According to the later repair bills, at least Qian Wubing was given

The flagship cost no less than five hundred taels of silver to repair, but as for the personnel, no one was injured.

It’s not the Spanish’s fault. It’s really not strange. Compared with the size of Qian Wubing’s flagship of nearly two thousand materials, there is really no comparison between a warship of three to five hundred materials. Can you imagine that in 1912, an ordinary ship

You can imagine the difference between the naval warship and the Titanic. Unless the artillery on the Spanish ship are all mortars, their shells are destined to not reach Qian Wubing's seat.

The position above the ship's side.

The third Spanish warship, on the other hand, was keeping a certain distance from the two warships in front. When the sound of gunfire came to mind, the captain decisively gave the order to escape. At first, they just wanted to test these Ming people.

The warships were equipped with artillery, but the Ming people's warships kept silent, which made them more and more courageous. When the cannons sounded, the captain immediately understood that even if his warships were covered with blood,

They are all cannons, and they are definitely no match for the dozens of Ming warships in this port. At this time, a wise commander should make a decisive decision to retreat.

As for his colleagues who were already caught in the fire, he could no longer care about it. Give to God what is God's and give to Caesar what is Caesar's. This has nothing to do with glory. This is a battle that must be lost. It is His Excellency Saint Anzi who knows his choice at this time.

, and he will never be punished.

So, when the smoke cleared, Qian Wubing could only helplessly see that except for the two sailboats in the port that were blocking his way and sinking slowly, at the end of his sight, there was only one sailing ship that was slowly sailing away in the wind.

The small boat was shadowed.

"Go and bring me that guy who doesn't obey orders!" Qian Wubing looked at the battlefield and ordered with a cold face without any sense of accomplishment.

The enemy's escape is an annoying thing, and the culprit of all this, Qian Wubing, will certainly not let him go!
