Chapter 625: Entering the Atlantic Ocean [2 more]

Almost all the navies of the two countries withdrew to the Port of Bue. Together with the Dutch navy, which came after hearing the news, all the navies of the three countries in southern Africa gathered together. For a while, the entire port was filled with flags and warships.

The port was crowded with hundreds of ships.

The navies of several countries gathered in Bue Port, with hundreds of ships and nearly tens of thousands of naval soldiers. Even though they were wary of the Ming fleet, looking at the many soldiers and horses gathered in Bue Port, among the navies of the three countries,

The governor also had a little more confidence.

When the Ming Dynasty enters the Atlantic Ocean, it is impossible to compete with the overlords of the Atlantic Ocean. As the two most popular countries at the moment, Portugal and Spain have fought against each other several times. Unfortunately, the strength gap between the two sides is too large. The few small fleets of the two countries are simply not enough for the Ming Dynasty fleet.

A wave of volleys was blasted to pieces.

It was only after several battles that the fleet was suppressed and beaten wildly by the Ming fleet, and the fleet realized that the Ming Dynasty was like a tiger, and it was definitely not like the natives they encountered in daily life who could be slaughtered at their will.

After repeated battles, Portugal and Spain finally realized that if they did not concentrate their forces, their scattered small fleets would not be able to match the Ming fleet.

As the overseas governor of Portugal, the Grand Duke of Doros is a grand duke of Portugal. His family is extremely powerful and can even influence the will of the Portuguese royal family.

The Grand Duke of Doros has great prestige and power, so the naval generals of Spain and the Netherlands naturally do not have enough confidence in front of the Grand Duke of Doros.

Needless to say, the leader of the coalition is naturally Grand Duke Doros.

At this moment, in the port, with the help of telescopes, Doros and other coalition generals looked solemnly at the ships appearing on the sea.

Hundreds of ships appeared on the sea and came slowly, it really felt like an overwhelming place.

In particular, some generals have led their fleets to fight against this fleet and have truly experienced the fleet's firepower. When they look at it again now, they are still wary.

A captain of the Portuguese navy fleet said to Grand Duke Doros: "Grand Duke, you must be careful. The firepower of this fleet is too fierce. With the same number, the opponent's firepower is at least twice as strong as ours."

Grand Duke Doros nodded slightly. Being able to leave Portugal and not indulge in enjoyment shows that Grand Duke Doros is not a mediocre person.

He had already learned some basic information about the Ming Fleet from many captains who had experience fighting against the Ming Fleet. Now after listening to the captain’s reminder, Doros’s expression was still solemn.

.

Just when the top generals of the coalition forces of several countries were nervously waiting for the emergence of the Ming Dynasty fleet, they appeared in the huge fleet above the sea.

Standing on the flagship, Yu Dayou looked much more mature. At first glance, he did not look like a boy under twenty years old.

The weathered look and maturity on his face show that Yu Dayou has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years while drifting on the vast ocean.

After repeated hardships, Yu Dayou really grew up, and even Chu Yi would be amazed when he saw him.

Lin Pingyi, wearing armor, stood beside Yu Dayou, holding a telescope in his hand. Through the telescope, he could see that the port ahead was densely packed with ships of all kinds.

"I asked where these Xiyi people were hiding. I never thought they would all gather in this port."

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but murmured.

Jiao Yuan and Yue Buqun were naturally more calm than Lin Pingzhi. Yue Buqun put down his telescope and said to Yu Dayou: "General Yu, look at this situation, the other party wants to be with us.

There’s going to be a fierce battle here.”

The corner of Yu Dayou's mouth curled up slightly, and a fierce look flashed across his face. Yu Dayou could only be heard saying: "Since they want to die, then I, the general, will help them."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Yes, we have taken care of them early, so that we can mobilize people to find the whereabouts of His Highness King Wu."

Along the way, every time they encountered a port, they would send people into the port, and then hand Chu Yi's drawings to the natives, and mobilize these people to search for Chu Yi's whereabouts.

This kind of effect is like finding a needle in a haystack. It can be said to be the most clumsy way to find people. But for them, this is the only way they can think of. For this reason, they did not hesitate to destroy countries that refused to cooperate.

The desolate horn sounded, and soon the flag was hoisted.

The subsequent fleet observed the flag hoisted on the flagship, and all the ships immediately moved. In less than a moment, the soldiers who had already integrated the ability to control ships into their bones quickly completed the task.

array.

The fleet of hundreds of ships rushed towards the port. The momentum was really astonishing, but it was just a matter of time, and the outlines of the ships could even be seen with the naked eye.

In the port, Grand Duke Doros frowned as he looked at the several coalition generals arguing there. He put the coffee on the table and said in a deep voice: "If you continue to argue, I'm afraid Akito's fleet will be gone."

Entering the port."

Several coalition generals immediately shut their mouths, and heard Doros say: "Don't say anything. The most important thing right now is to face the Ming army. What is the significance of this battle? Even if I don't say it, it will still be in your hearts."

Everyone knows it.”

Almost all the overseas forces of several countries are gathered here. If they win this time, it will be fine. However, once they lose, their overseas military forces will plummet. Everywhere they managed to occupy in the past will

All the ports will be lost.

As Doros made up his mind, several coalition generals who had been arguing at first finally put aside their disputes, and soon the military order was passed down through the command flag.

One ship after another, ships sailed out of the port, and then formed an array to greet the Ming fleet outside the port.

The two sides were several miles apart, and the outline of the ship's hull could be seen without the help of a telescope. Even the people on the ship could vaguely see a figure.

On the flagship, Yu Dayou, who had been paying attention to the movements in the port, saw ships sailing out of the port one after another. A sharp look flashed in his eyes and he said: "I don't dare to think that they will stay in the port all the time."

It’s good to come out to fight, so we can destroy them in one battle and enhance the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.”

Yue Buqun stroked his beard, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's decree came not long ago. In this case, let us use these people to sacrifice the flag!"

The fleets of both sides approached quickly, and suddenly there was a roar, and a fleet suddenly bombarded the opposite fleet, followed by a burst of roar.

The two sides were still several miles apart, and at least the current artillery fire had no hope of hitting them from such a long distance.

Even though the Ming Dynasty's new artillery had a range far beyond that of Portugal, the Spanish fleet's artillery range was not the first to fire. In fact, firing at this distance was of no use except to hear the sound.

Obviously, the sound of the cannon just now was caused by the nervousness of some soldiers in the fleet, who fired involuntarily. As for the firing of other ships, it was influenced by the ship that fired first.

"What a rabble!"

If Doros and other high-ranking coalition generals heard Yu Dayou commenting on them like this, I wonder if they would all faint in anger.

However, Doros and the others who were in the port were also very angry at this moment, obviously made angry by the shelling just now.

"Trash, they are really trash. They fired artillery from such a long distance. Do they still have brains? Is it possible that the kingdom spent so much gold and silver to raise such a group of trash?"

Grand Duke Doros was obviously furious.

Finally, the distance between the two sides shrank to a certain extent. The flag was raised on the flagship of the Ming fleet. The moment the flag was raised, the surrounding ships were seen firing cannonballs one after another.

.

Just as the captains of the Portuguese ships said, the artillery of the Ming fleet is superior to them in terms of range and rate of fire, especially the number of artillery equipped on each ship exceeds that of Portugal and Spain.

and other countries.

Boom, boom, boom

Columns of water rose into the sky, and cannonballs flew across the sky, pouring down like a torrential rain. If you were not lucky enough, you might even be hit directly by the cannonballs.

In just a blink of an eye, several ships were damaged, and even a slightly smaller ship was directly hit by two cannonballs. The hull was smashed through, and gurgling seawater was pouring into the hull crazily.

Even if it was only the advantage of a few waves of shelling, the feeling of being shelled but not being able to fight back was really too frustrating.

The allied forces of Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands could only risk artillery shells to get close to the Ming fleet. Otherwise, with the range of the cannons on their ships, if they wanted to hit the Ming fleet, it would be up to God.

There was a loud bang, and a ship exploded suddenly. The gunpowder magazine was directly detonated by the shell. It is conceivable that if a ship's gunpowder magazine exploded, then a ship would be blown up on the spot.

's fell apart.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good, very good. I destroyed them!"

Finally, at the cost of more than a dozen ships being injured and two ships sunk, the distance between the two sides was narrowed. At least the coalition side no longer had to watch but not be able to fight back, the kind that could only be beaten.

The feeling of not being able to fight back is really uncomfortable.

"Hit me hard!"

The artillery of the coalition forces roared, and shells flew out one after another, and water jets suddenly splashed above the sea.

It can be clearly seen that the number of artillery loaded on a single ship is almost twice that of the Ming Dynasty. If coupled with the difference in firing rate, if the coalition fleet can fire a hundred artillery shells, then the Ming fleet will be at least

It can fire as many as three to four hundred.
