The morning glow was like blood, and in the agitated war drums, the fleet of the Jiangxi Army was the vanguard, and swooped down on the Western fleet on the periphery of Xiangdao Harbor with great momentum, and hundreds of guns on the ship roared and sprayed out hot tongues of fire, and the shells roared across the air, and the momentum was quite terrifying.

As soon as the battle began, the Westerners sensed that something was wrong, and the Ming army's offensive today was obviously more ferocious than at any time in the previous days. The commander of the coalition army, Pires, said with an ugly face: "It's not good, I'm afraid that the Ming army is about to launch a general attack, hurry, bring all the ammunition up." ”

In an instant, the Westerners transported a steady stream of ammunition stored in warehouses on the inner island to the seaside batteries.

Boom Boom Boom ......

I saw that the sea was filled with smoke, and the Wang Zhi fleet on the left flank and the local guard fleet on the right flank also began to fire artillery to cover the Jiangxi army's charge, and the fierce artillery fire instantly suppressed the Western fleet. Yu Dayou did not break his promise, and he would not have less cover than he should have.

"Brothers, kill, let those Yiwu soldiers see how brave our Jiangxi army is. Firecrackers! Yu Linsheng waved his knife and raised his arms and shouted.

After the battle of extermination, the combat power of the Jiangxi army has become stronger, and the technology of naval warfare has become more and more mature, the artillery is methodically loading and firing cannons, the wrestlers are shouting and paddling hard, and the sword and shield men, archers, and musketeers are waiting for the day, staring at the enemy ships in the distance with hideous expressions, ready to jump up for close combat at any time.

The distance between the two fleets was getting closer and closer, and the Cangshan ship of the Jiangxi Army was hit by the land-based heavy artillery on the island, and the bow of the ship was blown up on the spot, killing and wounding a large number of people, but the brave Jiangxi Army was fearless and continued to rush towards the Western Fleet at full speed.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Dense shells rained down, and from time to time ships were shot in the fleets of both sides, filling the air with smoke and blood flying. Yu Linsheng said loudly: "Brothers, the Westerners don't have much ammunition, rush over hard, the victory will be ours, kill, how can you say that you have no clothes, and you will be with them!" ”

"Kill!" Thousands of Jiangxi troops shouted in unison, everyone rowed hard, and the Western fleet was getting closer and closer, probably less than 100 meters left.

Yu Linsheng was overjoyed, and said with a cruel smile: "The son and mother ship, go on, burn him." ”

Just as the bannerman on the head of the mast was about to send out the flag, a cannonball whistled and hit the mast, and the mast fell in response, and the bannerman fell off the deck from the high lookout, spurting blood on the spot and dying on the spot, and the mast also crushed and injured several people.

"!" Yu Linsheng scolded, picked up the command flag and personally climbed the vice pole Wangdou to play the flag, and the ten-bow mother ship that got the order rushed towards the Western Fleet with firewood.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Western Fleet also apparently understood the intentions of the Jiangxi Army, and the artillery fire was intensive, and two of the bow mother ships were overturned by the huge waves caused by the cannonballs on the way, and the death squad on board was killed in the sea on the spot.

Finally, there were still eight bow mother ships that rushed to the vicinity of the Western fleet under intensive artillery fire, but they were greeted by a rain of bullets from the Westerners.

Bang bang bang......

In an instant, the soldiers on the four-bow mother ship were shot and killed, leaving only the four-bow empty ship that had been beaten into a sieve and drifted unowned. A battle is a success, and victory has always been built by corpses.

"Ahh Yu Linsheng's eyes were red, his fists were clenched hard, and his flesh was so painful that he trembled, they were all brothers in life and death in a thousand households, and it was gone like this, and it was fake not to feel distressed.

Fortunately, the remaining four bow motherships rushed into the Western fleet, and the bow of the ship was nailed into the hull of the two Western warships, and the firewood drenched in fire oil immediately ignited.

The mother ship is divided into two sections, the front and back are connected by iron chains, the mother ship in front is full of firewood, and the back boat is used as an escape, as long as the firewood of the mother ship is lit, the child ship can untie the iron chain and carry the death squad back.

However, none of the death squads on the four-bow ship could return home, and as soon as they turned around and sailed a short distance, they were beaten into a sieve by the Westerners' muskets, and none of the daredevils on the ship were spared.

"Good brother, good job!" Yu Sheng shouted with red eyes: "Rush, don't let the brothers of the death squad die in vain." ”

At this time, the fleets of both sides had entered the range of muskets, and the sound of gunfire like bursting beans rang out immediately, and the sharp arrows killed at the sound of the bowstring, and the tragic sound was endless.

The other Ming armies were infected by the bravery of the Jiangxi army, and the Wang Zhibu fleet on the left flank and the Weisho army fleet on the right flank all accelerated and rushed to attack, and for a time they had the upper hand.

"What a warrior!" Yu Dayou couldn't help but blurt out admiration.

Chen Dacheng and other generals of the Yiwu Army were also in awe, Feng Laoliu scratched his head and said unwillingly: "Boss Yu, it seems that Yu Linsheng is really going to let that kid get the first credit." ”

Su Qingsnake shrugged and said, "That's what people deserve." ”

Chen Dacheng arched his hand and said: "General, is it time for the whole army to press?" ”

Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, the Westerners still have spare strength, you see, the island is still constantly transporting ammunition to the front line." ”

As if to confirm Yu Dayou's words, the artillery fire of the Westerners suddenly became extremely fierce, and the land-based heavy artillery continued to fire, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains.

Rumble......

A heavy cannon shot landed on Yu Linshou's ship, blowing a big hole in the hull on the spot, and more than a dozen soldiers were shocked and fell into the sea.

"General Yu, it's not good, the warship is leaking!" A sergeant rushed to report.

Yu Linsheng was shocked and ran to the hatch to look down, only to see that the sea water was pouring in from under the boat, and the soldiers in charge of paddling were trying to plug the gap, but it didn't have much effect.

At this moment, the Westerners' artillery fire became more and more fierce, and a nearby wingman ship was hit by several cannons and sank in an instant. Yu Linsheng was shocked and angry, and at this moment he already had remorse in his heart, the artillery fire of the Westerners was so fierce, where did it look like there was a shortage of ammunition.

After another moment of fierce fighting, the Jiangxi fleet, which was exposed to the intensive artillery fire of the Westerners, continued to have ships damaged and sunk. Luo Hong, deputy of the Qianhu Office of the Lead Mountain, shouted from the bow of the boat: "General Yu, withdraw, the artillery fire of the Westerners is too fierce to withstand it!" ”

Yu Shenglin unwillingly stared at the Western Fleet close at hand, but what could he do, the ship under his feet was sinking little by little, and if it was delayed any longer, a ship of brothers would have to explain, and finally he could only grit his teeth and say: "Withdraw!" ”

At the sound of an order, the fleet of the Jiangxi Army began to turn around and retreat. Seeing this, Yu Dayou hurriedly raised the flag and ordered Wang Zhi on the left flank and the guard army on the right flank to cover with artillery fire, and at the same time, the Chinese army also pressed on, forcing the Western fleet not to dare to pursue.

In fact, the Westerner fleet was also frightened by the ferocity of the Jiangxi army, and wished that the Jiangxi army would retreat, where would they dare to pursue.

Watching the Ming fleet retreat beyond the range of artillery, the Westerners collapsed to the ground with relief, this battle was undoubtedly the most tragic since the two sides fought, and the casualties were also the most serious.

"Your Excellency Pires, we lost ten warships in this battle, and now there are only thirty bows left, and there are still twelve bows that are seriously damaged and need to be overhauled, and there are less than twenty bows that can fight, the key is that our ammunition is almost exhausted, and we will definitely lose if we continue to fight." The leader of Spain's fleet, Codillon, said loudly.

Pires was also in an anxious mood, and he frowned and said, "Your Excellency Codilon is a little restless, maybe ...... Maybe we can sit down with Ming Jun and talk about it again. ”

The Englishman Charles immediately shrugged his shoulders: "Who is going to talk?" Last time, Luo Nadao's ass was smashed by them, and now he will bleed as soon as he shits, and half of his life is gone, and he suffers from it, who dares to negotiate with the barbaric Ming people? ”

Lores gritted his teeth and said: "This time I will go in person, I and Xu Jin are also old friends, so I shouldn't even give any face." ”

The Englishman spread his hands and said, "Oh, please, Your Excellency Pire, we are now hostile to each other, either you die or I die, that Governor Xu will talk to you about friendship, right?" Apparently impossible. ”

Pires actually understands that he and Xu Jin are just a one-sided relationship at best, a fart friendship, even if there is a friendship, what is it in front of national interests, but, in the current situation, the Ming army will attack again, and the coalition forces will definitely not be able to resist it, not to mention, the coalition forces also need time to repair the damaged fortifications and warships.

Pires said: "No way, we need time to catch our breath now, without further ado, prepare the ship immediately, and I will set off to meet this old friend now." ”

"Oh, selfless Lord Pires, good luck then!" Briton Charles shrugged his shoulders and said.
