In a part of the Aegean Sea, accompanied by roars, two huge fleets collided fiercely, one after another on top of the warships.
Someone cut off the mast, and the mast fell heavily onto the opponent's warship. With weapons in hand, they quickly rushed along the mast to the opponent's warship, and a bloody close combat began.
Some warships were not close to each other. Rolling white smoke rose, and cannonballs fiercely attacked each other. Suddenly, large holes appeared on the other side's warships, and there was a miserable wailing around the holes.
Voice.
On other warships, muskets and bows and arrows were exchanged, and screams were heard constantly on the deck.
The battle soon entered a fierce stage. More than fifty Spanish warships and Ottoman warships collided with each other and became entangled with each other. The entire sea was in chaos.
In the sea area where the warships are connected, the sea surface is like dumplings. A large number of people continue to fall into the sea, and a large number of corpses and broken boards are floating on the sea surface.
The brave Spanish matador, the brave Ottoman soldiers, and the pirates collided fiercely, and their roars rang out in the sky.
Not far away on the sea, the Ming Dynasty's warships were still meandering on the sea, with billowing white smoke rising, and countless cannonballs roaring in the sky, accurately falling on the Ottoman Empire battlefields.
"Come on!"
"These Ming people are cowards. They can only rely on artillery and they don't dare to fight with us at all. As long as we rush over, they will immediately become as well-behaved as women!"
Red-bearded Oruch waved the long sword in his hand and kept roaring. He did not fight with the Spanish matador like other Ottoman warships, but directly led his three pirate ships to rush towards the Ming Dynasty's warship.
.
He wanted to capture Ming warships one after another and use them as his future flagships.
Judging from the current situation, the Ming people seem to be inferior to the Europeans. They are very timid and cowardly. They do not dare to engage in a follow-up battle with them, but just continue to fire artillery attacks from a distance.
In contrast, Spain at least had the spirit of chivalry, and directly started a bloody battle with the Ottoman Empire's warships, and the two sides fought fiercely.
"Dong dong~dong dong!"
The Ming fleet obviously couldn't hear the roar of the red-bearded Oruchi. The only response to him was the sound of increasingly louder shelling, with shells whistling in the sky.
As the distance between the two sides gets closer and closer, the hit rate becomes higher and higher.
"Boom~"
A cannonball hit Redbeard Oruch's warship with great accuracy, creating a large hole in it. The flying sawdust left a bloodstain on Redbeard's face, and the surrounding pirates let out miserable screams.
Voice.
"Come on!"
Oruqi was unmoved. They were all old pirates, so this was nothing.
The oars were rowing continuously at a very fast speed. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and soon everything on the Ming warship could be clearly seen.
On the huge Ming Dynasty warship, there were rows of black gun barrels. With loud noises and billowing white smoke rising, cannonballs roared towards me.
With every shelling, the flagship of the red-bearded Oruchi would be hit by several shells, and holes would appear one after another, but it would still be very strong and nothing would happen to it.
But the other two pirate ships around him were not so lucky. Soon one pirate ship slowly sank into the sea. The pirates on the ship began to flee in fear. The small escape ship was full of pirates, but more of them were
It can only swim continuously in the sea.
"quick!"
"Faster!"
Oruch roared through the torn hole at the pirates rowing in the cabin. The pirates in the cabin were rowing the oars with all their strength.
However, the closer it is, the higher the Ming warship's artillery hit rate is.
Under the fierce Miyun cannon attack, the shells fell on the enemy ships as if they had eyes. Another pirate ship was sunk. It was riddled with holes and could no longer withstand it.
"Skull~"
Oruqi's eyes were bloodshot. Two of the three pirate ships he had managed to save were gone in the blink of an eye, leaving only the flagship he was riding on.
"Boom~"
At this time, there was another intensive roar. In sight, the Ming Dynasty's warship was shrouded in billowing white smoke. Soon, cannonballs pierced through the white smoke and roared, and then fell heavily on their own.
On the flagship.
"Crunch~"
Along with a crisp sound, huge holes appeared on the side of the pirate ship. The cabin was full of casualties, and seawater began to pour in ferociously.
"Can't you even do a string battle?"
Oruqi's eyes were blood red, and his whole body became dull. Looking at the Ming warships that were so close to each other, it seemed that he could reach them with his hand. However, the distance between them was like a chasm, and it would last forever.
make life difficult for.
His flagship began to slowly sink into the sea, and the Ming warship actually began to attack the Ottoman warships further away. This was Chi Guoguo's contempt, as if facing an opponent that had no threat at all.
, and it’s like looking at a dead person.
This made Oruqi extremely angry, but he had no choice but to watch helplessly as the huge warship ran rampant on the sea, baring its teeth and claws.
Intense artillery attacks came one after another without any pause, and almost all of the Ottoman warships that rushed towards the Ming warships suffered the same fate.
The warships of the Ming Dynasty were sunk by fierce artillery before they even approached.
Oruqi saw with his own eyes that a warship was very close to the Ming Dynasty's warship. The sailors were already ready for a battle. However, what greeted them was an extremely dense volley of muskets, accompanied by
The muskets opened fire, and countless people on the deck were killed and wounded immediately.
Then the cannonballs were riddled with holes in the warship, and it slowly sank into the sea in the blink of an eye.
"It turns out we are already too far behind!"
Oruqi did not struggle and sank into the sea with his flagship. At the last moment, he realized that he had fallen behind in the follow-up battle. In front of powerful artillery, there was no need for the Ming Dynasty to fight you in close combat. They could just use
Artillery can sink your warship.
"He wants to fight with us again~"
"What age has it been? In the age of giant ships and cannons, we still want to continue the battle."
Tian Erniu looked at the silent Ottoman Empire ship in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Looking at the central area of the naval battle, the Spaniards and the Ottomans were fighting together, and there were scenes of melee between the two sides everywhere on the warships.
"Flower freely, just get rid of the enemies!"
After Tian Erniu gave the order, he stopped taking care of it.
There is no doubt about the outcome, just like the Battle of Biscay.
The Ottoman Navy was still immersed in close combat and could not extricate itself. Their fate was the same as that of the English and French coalition forces. They would be sent into the sea by the artillery of the Ming warships.
"Kill!"
Kolster stabbed a bearded man to death with a sword and roared at the person behind him.
He looked at the Ming ships not far away. These ships were as elegant as nobles. Even after a naval battle, they did not appear to be damaged at all.
Beside these Ming ships, Ottoman warships were slowly sinking into the sea. There were a large number of people on the sea who were constantly struggling, but in exchange for the bows, arrows and muskets of the Ming sailors.
"Times have changed~"
"We must learn from the Ming Dynasty and use giant ships and cannons to deal with the enemy, instead of fighting the enemy like wild beasts."
Duke Colster thought so in his mind.
The battle raged from day to night. When the last Ottoman sailor was stabbed to death with a sword, the battle finally ended.
The Spanish matadors are cheering and celebrating another great victory.
Since the rise of the Ottoman Empire, Christendom has not seriously defeated the Ottoman Empire, but now they have done it.
In a day's bloody battle, they used their chivalry to defend the honor of the Spanish Empire, and also won great honor for the Christian world.
Perhaps after this war, Spain's reputation in Europe will become even higher, it will be inevitable to become the leader of European countries, and the Spaniards will also be praised by the Pope.
Of course, Spain's interests can also extend from Sicily to the Aegean Sea. Perhaps from now on, the entire Mediterranean will become Spain's back garden.
After all, except for the maritime power of the Ottoman Empire, the remaining countries in the Mediterranean are not of concern, and no one can challenge Spanish interests here.
Compared to the excitement of the Spanish bullfighters, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty seemed much duller.
For them, the previous battle seemed to be just a practice of artillery fire, but this time they used moving real targets instead of the previous moving imaginary ships.
Under the cannon of the giant ship, the battle becomes easy and simple.
