On the flagship of the Asia Minor, the Eastern Roman admiral Prussia held a monocular telescope, and the target was the Ming Dynasty's steel behemoth.

"Oh God, they really made it!"

The adjutant Wilson beside him looked disapproving and said: "Your Majesty General, what you see is just a giant turtle wearing heavy armor. These Orientals think that the bigger the battleship, the better. It's so funny."

"Wilson, you have seen the drawings. This is an ironclad ship, not a treasure ship!"

"So what?"

Wilson shrugged and said: "The Orientals have just lifted the sea ban. In fact, they don't know how to fight at sea at all. Such a huge warship must move very slowly. We can completely defeat them with our speed advantage!"

The Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, has a very long history.

However, just a year ago, its capital, Constantinople, was captured by the army led by Sultan II. Since then, the Ottoman Empire has officially replaced the prosperous Eastern Roman Empire.

After the defeat of the Eastern Roman Empire, Queen Docia took advantage of the chaos to escape to the sea, and took the remaining navy to other places. Finally, she settled on the island of Ceylon and began to accumulate strength to prepare for the recovery of Constantinople.

At this time, Peng Qing's fleet returned, so they set their sights on the east again and sent Admiral Prussia to contact this mysterious country.

The Prussian fleet sailed eastward, but was driven away by the Ming Dynasty navy cruising in the Nanyang area. The reason was that his ship carried weapons and was a warship. Once it entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it would be regarded as an invasion.

In desperation, Prussia had no choice but to return and established a small base on Falklands, and then waited for an opportunity to contact Qiongzhou Guard Commander Zhang Shiying.

As for how we got in touch... Haha, gold is a good thing. In this world, few people can resist the temptation of wealth.

In the past year, he not only successfully entered the Ming Dynasty waters, but also established a port on Qiongzhou Island, where he smuggled a large amount of goods and made huge profits.

By chance, he also got the blueprint of the ironclad ship being built by Ming Dynasty!

When he saw the drawings, Prussia was shocked.

The steam engine system depicted in it is really incredible. It may be because this technology is so advanced that even the Eastern Roman Navy, which has a long history, does not believe that this thing can really be built.

So Prussia sent the drawings back to Ceylon and continued his smuggling career.

Although he knew very well that his behavior was not allowed, but so what?

He has seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming fleet. Although the treasure ships are huge, they are all used for carrying cargo. The firearms equipped on the ships are extremely limited. However, his own fleet has rich combat experience and strong maneuverability. To say the least, even if it can't be defeated

,Can’t you run yet!

How could those bulky treasure ships catch up with our Asia Minor?

As for the ironclad ship being developed, it sounds incredible, but it is just some wild imagination.

However, when he saw the armored ship falling from the sky with his own eyes, he was shocked again.

The size of this giant ship is more than five times that of the Asia Minor flagship. If the two ships collide head-on, your Asia Minor ship will be smashed to pieces immediately!

"Your Excellency General, our allies are here!"

Prussia moved the lens tube, and sure enough he saw the Qiongzhou Guard's ship following him.

He immediately understood that today's battle was inevitable.

"Let's fight, may God bless us!"

"Don't worry, General, our Flying Ray is very fast."

"The ship is equipped with steel armor all over the body. The Flying Ray's firepower is not enough, so we send a semaphore and let the Moray go aboard. Tell Captain John to use the speed advantage to deal with the opponent."

"Look, General, our allies are ready!"

Prussia observed carefully, and in the monocular, two ships of the Qiongzhou Guard, one on the left and one on the right, followed the ironclad ship on both sides.

It seems to be a coordinated operation, but in fact...

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise came, and Prussia was shocked and looked ahead again.

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded, and the sea suddenly burst into flames.

Through the telescope, Prussia really saw that his frigate Flying Ray was blocked and smashed to pieces.

Yes, smash!

This is Ming Dynasty’s unique blooming bomb, and it’s a heavy-duty one.

The Flying Stingray instantly shattered into pieces, and the people on board didn't even know what happened, so they were shattered into ashes along with the wreckage of the ship.

On the Zheng He, Zhu Qizhen held a telescope and saw this scene clearly.

"Well done!"

Suddenly, a voice came to his ear: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Zhu Qizhen took off his telescope and saw Fan Zhong rushing towards him.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A series of explosions sounded. Before Zhu Qizhen realized what happened, he was pinned down by Fan Zhong.

Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt the hull of the ship shaking.

Damn, we were attacked!

However, the enemy ship was still hundreds of steps away, and one had just been killed. How could it be possible to launch an attack so quickly?

Suddenly, he thought...

Qiongzhou Guard!

Zhu Qizhen pushed Fan Zhong away angrily and said angrily: "Zhang Shiying is rebelling, right? Open fire and blast him!"

Due to close range fire, the hull suffered some damage despite being protected by armor.

In the gun cabin on the bottom floor, five gunners suffered varying degrees of trauma.

Lu Qian immediately ordered: "Reserve gunners on top, listen to my command, fire, and fight back!"

Immediately, a reserve gunner came up and lit the fuse.

Zhang Shiying stood on the bow of the ship and was ecstatic when he saw that his cannon hit the target accurately. However, he soon lost his joy.

Because after a round of artillery salvo, the armored ship just swayed slightly, and then...it was fine?

At the same time, he saw densely packed, dark muzzles, already pointed at him.

I can’t even count how many there are...

"Lord Commander, you'd better go back to the cabin!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhang Shiying looked bitter: "It's useless..."

His expression was both helpless and tragic, because he knew what was about to happen.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

On both sides of the ironclad ship, sixty artillery pieces fired alternately, and countless muzzles sprayed out dazzling flames.

He could even see the dark cannonballs flying towards him...

Boom!

Boom!

Countless cannonballs smashed the two ships to pieces, leaving only sawdust flying everywhere.

The fate of the two ships was the same as that of the Flying Ray just now, or even worse. There were only countless wrecks left on the sea.

The people on the boat didn't even have time to call for help...

Almost in an instant, the three battleships disappeared, leaving only a piece of wreckage.

Now, only the Zheng He, Asia Minor and Moray are left on the sea.

Jin Ying stared at all this in stunned silence. He couldn't even believe that the power of the ironclad ship was so terrifying.

With an indestructible steel body and indestructible firepower, even if a god comes down to earth, it can only be like this, right?

With a dark face, Zhu Qizhen pointed forward and said angrily: "Go ahead at full speed and fuck him!"

The Zheng He roared loudly and rushed towards the Asia Minor.

The main gun on the bow has been reloaded, but the Moray learned the lesson from the Flying Ray and began to swing forward irregularly.

"Report, the main gun cannot be locked!"

Zhu Qizhen said without thinking: "Keep moving forward and close the distance!"

"Yes!"
