Arrogant!

That is a capital of arrogance. As the king of the Indian Ocean in this era, the Ariba Sultanate Navy has more than 30 European warships and hundreds of European or Tianshi merchant ships.

More importantly, the sailors of the Sultanate of Ariba not only have religious bonuses, but also have many tribal warriors who came out of the desert. They were very barbaric in the naval battle. After pulling ropes and dancing the scimitar in their hands, they were simply invincible on the deck.

The Portuguese were beaten to pieces by these people again and again.

After receiving the reply from the Sultans of Ariba, Gan Hui was stunned for a moment, and he looked a little excited, and he almost shouted excitedly.

Why...it's hard to fight under the reputation!

He was really afraid that the Sultans of Ariba agreed to the negotiations because they feared the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, they want to fight, this is a good thing!

"Admiral, since they have rejected the negotiations, we should start the attack and destroy their ships at the port."

There is no need to remind Ding Yun at all, Gan Hui nodded and said.

"We have to knock out all the flies first to avoid buzzing and getting annoying!"

When he put down the telescope, Gan Hui said again.

"In half an hour, I hope I will never see a broken ship of the Ariba Sultans here again!"

At the same time, the Ariba Sultanate Navy in the port had already sailed out of the port, leading a fleet of sailboats. The slaves pushed the wooden pulp to hit the sea and stormed the white waves. The speed of the fleet was far greater than that of ordinary sailboats. Twelve sailboats sailed out of the port and pressed towards the Ming army.

The drummers at the stern of the ship beat the war drum. The sound of the war drums "dong...dong...dong" exploded in the fleet. As the war drums sounded, the gunners on the deck pushed the one-sided wine bottle cannon out of the muzzle, and quickly adjusted the angle with the handle on the gun mount to aim at the enemy ships that were getting closer and closer.

On the deck, the Marines, who were full of strength, were holding muskets, and they stood in the center of the deck, in order to avoid being caught off guard during the battle on the shore.

While the Ming army was preparing for combat, the Ariba Sultanate Navy, which had rushed to attack, shot the artillery shells one after another, separated by five or six hundred steps.

This kind of shelling is simply a waste of shells!

Gunners who are familiar with the performance of artillery did not blink, and calmly observed the distance between the target and themselves through the cannon window.

Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred...

"boom…"

The flagship roared first, two 100-pound cannons and six 50-pound cannons, the first round of shells was fired. The shells roared out of the thick cannon smoke, drew a straight line in the air, and then plunged into the sailboat that rushed over first. The violent explosion directly blew it into two pieces in half.

"boom……"

After the flagship fired, seven other fast cruisers followed behind them, launching fierce shelling at the Ariba Sultanate Navy with heavy artillery mounted on the side.

Because the wine bottle cannon is too heavy, the Ming Dynasty's cruise line often has only a dozen artillery pieces, and only about 8 on one side of the side. It seems that the firepower is insufficient, but its power is extremely powerful. Once it hits the target, it will be an almost devastating shelling for the wooden ships of this era.

Five or six of the dozen shells fired from the first round of the fleet hit the target, instantly reverting the three sailboats that rushed to the front into a pile of rotten wood.

"This ship is too unstoppable!"

"Is the board too thin?"

"Grandma, this is here to die!"

The gunners who had a good start shouted excitedly. They quickly loaded the cannons and repeated the movements that had been practiced thousands of times - cleaning the inner chamber, loading the shells, and then quickly pushing the cannons out of the cannon window.

The Ariba Sultanate Navy on the opposite side was stunned in the face of a devastating blow!

Hamad opened his eyes even wider and was stunned for a while before saying.

"Their shells hit the gunpowder depot? Why did they sank our ship in an instant!"

The naval battles in this era are either solid bombs or grape bombs. Naval battles are either solid bombs against each other, bombing the opponent's ship boards, and bombing the opponent's sailors with grape bombs to kill them. Sometimes, water battles may even last for several hours, and they cannot surely sink the opponent. The final effect may be the arson ship.

But at present, the Ming Dynasty's artillery bombardment was completely beyond their imagination. They didn't understand what shell the Ming Navy used, but they just took it for granted that it was a gunpowder barrel hit by the Ming Dynasty's artillery shells.

"Burn the shells red and blast them with incendiary bombs!"

As a veteran of naval warfare, Hamed only thought that the other party was using incendiary bombs - in fact, it was a solid iron bomb that burned red. Naturally, he had to use the same shells to retaliate.

But even so, the Ariba Sultanate Navy could only use artillery shells to beat drums on the Ming warships in vain. Their artillery shells were difficult to penetrate the Ming army's warships, and many artillery shells were just futilely hit on the boards, and then they flew on the water and drifted.

While the sailboat was severely damaged when it left the port, Prince Hmed, who led the sailboat fleet, commanded the fleet to try to approach the Ming Navy.

Their attempt was worth it. At least this would make the Ming warships more focused on attacking those sailboats. The Ming army's warships launched a second round of volleys in less than a minute. This time, their artillery fire became more fierce and more accurate. Dozens of grenades rushed towards them with death roaring, smashing them hard on the ships, and blowing out huge balls of explosive smoke and water columns.

While splashing several huge white water columns, the sailboats turned into burning torches one by one. At the same time, the sailors of the Ariba Sultanate, who had approached the range of the bow and arrow, fired at the Ming army's ships with bows and arrows. "Bang, bang..." Rockets were chiseled on the deck of the Ming army's warship. On the canvas, the oil cloth ball hanging at the front of the crossbow arrow lit the canvas, and thick smoke came out of the deck.

This is the magic weapon of the Ariba Sultanate Navy - the Rockets. They used the rocket to burn the opponent's sails and rigging, and then siege them when the enemy loses its mobility!

"Quick, put out the fire."

Seeing this, the sailor immediately took out the water dragon from the bucket beside him. This piston-type water dragon is a bit like a large water gun. Dozens of water dragons sprayed the rigging at the canvas that caught fire. The fire head that had just started to burn was instantly extinguished in its bud.

However, the Ariba Sultans were still shooting rockets, and some rockets even landed directly on the sailors. At the same time, the Marines who were originally standing by, were already holding muskets to attack the Ariba Sultans sailors. For a moment, the deck was full of rapid gunfire. Although there were only dozens of Marines on each ship, with the advantages of the four-year-old rifle, they had raindrops to hit the Ariba Sultans water without even a chance to raise their heads.

At this distance, the artillery did not even need to be aimed. A hundred-pound shell flew straight to the target. In the violent explosion, the scattered shrapnel even nailed to the board of the Ming army's warship. The violent explosion directly exploded a bed-sized hole on the warship of the Yariba Sultans. The sea water immediately swarmed into the cabin. The warship lost its balance in a blink of an eye. The Ariba Sultans on the deck were in a mess and jumped into the sea with screams. The powder barrels, cannons, and shells all fell into the sea along the rapidly tilted deck.

The slave pulp in the cabin had no chance to escape. They could only scream in despair, cry, and then be submerged by the sea water. Under the pressure of the sea water, the wooden hull made a creeping sound. Suddenly, the bow of the ship suddenly pierced under the water, and the stern raised high. At the moment when most of the hulls were exposed to the water, suddenly, the ship folded into two pieces like a toy, and the seemingly solid warship split into pieces.

Hundreds of sailors and slaves sank directly into the sea with the ship. The Ariba Sultanate sailors who sank into the sea grabbed some broken wooden boards and struggled on the sea, swam desperately towards the land...
