This time, the black holes were filled with chain bombs. Four hundred chain bombs swept through the fleet at close range. Most of the ship's masts were broken, the sails were completely torn, and the speed of the ships increased significantly.
decline.
After all, the Spanish Navy was once the overlord of the sea, and the quality of its officers and soldiers was relatively high. At this time, some of the crew members who could still see began to use cannons to fight back.
It's hard to say just how much combat power can be exerted.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The non-stop rumble of cannons began on the sea.
Nearly 2,000 artillery pieces from both sides began to play the evocation of death, and bursts of gunpowder smoke began to fill the battlefield.
Howling cannonballs, wood chips flying all over the sky, human bodies thrown away, a primitive scene of iron and blood...
After all, the Spanish Navy is at a disadvantage in terms of strength. What's more, it has been tricked twice by Wang Xuan in a row, and its combat strength is much weaker.
A third-class battleship of the Spanish Navy has been hit by more than thirty guns. The hull is riddled with holes, but it still keeps firing.
Since they refuse to surrender, the best way to deal with such die-hard elements is to destroy their bodies and "set the fire!"
Wang Xuan gave an order, and the white-gate cannons of the three nearby battleships aimed at each other. Amidst the roaring sound, dense shells hit them. After one round, the Spanish third-level battleship was directly broken into two pieces.
It sank obliquely into the sea.
In less than half an hour, one third-level battleship and two fourth-level battleships of the Spanish Navy were sunk. Moreover, due to the different degrees of damage, the Spanish fleet soon became disjointed and pulled into one.
The longer the strip, the smaller the damage, the smaller the boat will run ahead.
Of course, Wang Xuan's fleet was not without any losses. An unlucky fourth-level battleship was hit twice at the waterline. Even with the improvement of the watertight cabin, most of it still sank into the sea, with the head of the ship raised high.
It doesn't look like it will last long.
The Spanish navy, which was divided into three groups, saw absolutely no hope of victory. The three-level battleships and the fourth-level battleships that suffered the least damage began to abandon their load and accelerate away from the battlefield.
At this point, the naval battle ended with the Spanish navy's defeat, and all that was left was the finishing work.
Instruct several warships to continue the pursuit, but not to move again after causing some damage to the opponent... Below the bait, it depends on how the Spanish Navy responds.
At the same time, a merchant ship also set off from the island, and the person in charge was an authentic Spaniard!
Or you can call him a "Spanish traitor". A guy who has been completely corrupted by money will drive a merchant ship to another port and inform the navy there.
The Spanish Navy has been monitored by Wang Xuan for half a year. Although the news spread slowly, it was enough time for him to still know the opponent well.
…
Wang Xuan ordered the fleet to stop firing and sent people to take small boats to the Spanish Navy.
Several captains of the Spanish navy met the messenger sent by this opponent.
"I'm not here to negotiate, but to convey orders." The winner has strong qualifications. "After the war is won, we will not mistreat the prisoners. As long as Spain is willing to pay some price, then you can go back safely, but the premise is
Don't do anything to these warships, these are our spoils of war!"
The captains of the other side looked at each other. It was the best outcome if the victorious side was willing to let them live. As for Wang Xuan tricking them into leaving and seizing the warship before killing them, the idea also lingered in their minds...
However, it’s all death anyway, and the result can’t get worse, so why not give it a try!
Several die-hard elements were defeated by Wang Xuan early on, and those who had stopped resisting had a desire to surrender.
Besides, Europe has always had a tradition of receiving courteous treatment after surrender. This is also a consistent practice to prevent the trapped beasts from fighting and causing unnecessary harm to the victorious side.
Everything went smoothly afterwards. After the Spanish navy surrendered, they boarded the cargo ship one after another, and Wang Xuan harvested 1 broken third-level battleship and 11 fourth-level battleships.
Wang Xuan was very well prepared for this naval battle that had been planned for a long time. Just after the naval battle, a large number of transport ships came over to replenish supplies and ammunition, transport the wounded back, tow and capture the ships, etc., which required a lot of work.
transport ship to complete.
On the other side, Wang Xuan's main fleet, which had replenished supplies, set sail again and pursued the two escaping warships with full sail.
…
A merchant ship was put into a Spanish colonial port after strict inspection. After entering, the captain immediately said that he had important information to report to the port governor.
"I was originally going to Port XXX, but I saw a naval battle on the way. Our fleet was being chased. There were many ships on the other side. I searched for more than a dozen warships. I don't know the specific model, but it looked like it was ours.
People are at a disadvantage."
This set of vague words was designed by Wang Xuan early on, leaving enough space for the other party's imagination and brainstorming, so as to better confuse the other party. The more intelligent a person claims to be, the more he will believe that he is aware of these things.
Judgment of ambiguous words.
After sending the businessman away, the governor immediately sent a ship out to sea to find the Spanish rear admiral lurking nearby, and told him the news he had obtained.
After thinking for a moment, the major general came to his own conclusion. The pirates this time were not just seven warships, but probably more. It might be a joint operation of many pirates. This is also the reason why the other party was able to loot many ports in succession.
Only seven of the ships were exposed intentionally.
It is intended to reduce the intensity of one's own attacks so that they can escape or win in battle.
Having figured everything out, the major general immediately ordered his men to raise sail and set sail. He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's entanglement to reunite with his squadron and eliminate this big pirate force in one fell swoop.
Not long after the major general set off, the Spanish merchant ship that had just arrived at the port set sail again and disappeared into the night.
The distance between the two ports is not too far, about less than three days' voyage.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, the major general received the news from the watchman and saw two of his own warships fleeing, followed by two enemy warships pursuing them.
After receiving the news, the major general was shocked and immediately came to the deck to send an order: "Sign up and ask about the specific situation."
After giving the instructions, the major general took out his binoculars and looked in that direction. In his eyes, what he was escaping were a third-level battleship and a fourth-level battleship. At this moment, the sailors on the watchtower were waving flags.
…
Suddenly, he saw a burst of fire light up on the pursuing enemy ship. Then, the watchtower and mast were swept by chain bombs, tilted slowly, and then hit the sea!
