"I want to be beautiful!" As soon as he saw the actions of these thirty Spanish warships, Zheng Sen guessed the intentions of Count Lancas.

It was nothing more than trying to attract their attention and drag them down with these thirty warships, so as to give the entire Spanish fleet a chance to escape.

It's a pity that Count Lancas, the commander of the Spanish American fleet, was wrong, and his thirty Spanish warships were simply not enough to drag eight Daming steel warships.

I saw that the eight Daming steel warships did not slow down at all, aiming at the thirty Spanish warships that took the initiative to attack fiercely, and at the same time, they continued to chase towards the fleeing Spanish fleet in front.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ----" The cannons on the eight Ming ironclad ships continued to bombard the thirty Spanish warships that took the initiative to meet the rear.

Since the two sides sailed opposite each other, the speed of approaching was fast.

Eight Ming ironclad ships, each aimed at a Spanish battleship and opened fire.

Under a round of shelling, eight Spanish warships were hit at the same time, and the shells exploded violently, blowing the wooden hull to pieces, and the cannons and Spanish gunners who were hidden there were simultaneously swept into the sea by the blazing waves of the shells.

Each of the eight Spanish warships that were shot had at least two shots. One of them was particularly unlucky, having been hit by four, two of which were still the most powerful 250 mm shells, and there is no doubt that the unfortunate Spanish battleship was sunk directly. And the remaining seven, even if they were not sunk, were also heavily damaged, and they definitely couldn't survive the next round of shelling of the eight Ming ironclad ships.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ----" Sure enough, after a while, the flames once again enveloped the eight Spanish warships.

The tragedy of the seven Spanish battleships that had been heavily damaged just now, six sank on the spot, and the remaining one was also shot four, although it did not sink immediately, but the hull has also begun to tilt, even if the Ming ironclad ship does not continue to fire on this Spanish battleship, this Spanish battleship will definitely not be able to escape the end of sinking by itself.

In just a few moments, seven battleships were sunk, one was on the verge of sinking, one was heavily damaged, and of the thirty Spanish warships that turned back to meet them, only twenty-one were intact.

This is simply an unequal battle, even if the number of thirty Spanish warships that Spain turned back to face is nearly four times that of the eight Ming ironclads, this is also a great battle that is not equal.

Seeing the nine battleships, they ended up like this in just a moment, and the Spanish generals and soldiers on the rest of the Spanish battleships were all frightened and pale.

Spain as an empire that has been in decline for many years, since the Armada was defeated by the British, they fell from the position of the first European empire, not only Portugal was cut off from the territory of the past, so many years, with the other four major sea powers, Spain mostly ended in failure, sometimes they can't even beat the Portuguese, it is conceivable that the Spanish will to fight is not high at all.

The Spaniards were frightened, they saw no hope of intercepting the Ming warship, and they wanted to turn around and flee again immediately. At this moment before they had made a decision, the eight Ming ironclad ships opened fire again.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom -----" eight more Spanish battleships were hit, and now only thirteen Spanish battleships are left in good condition.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides has just narrowed to a range of three thousand meters.

"Three thousand meters, it's here! We can finally shoot at them! The Spanish admiral on one of the battleships stared at the eight Ming ironclad ships with red eyes and said.

At a range of three thousand meters, several Spanish warships could already reach it, and these Spanish warships with a range of three thousand meters quickly adjusted their guns and prepared to open fire.

In the Battle of Malacca that year, the combined fleet of the eight countries was defeated, and 641 warships were almost wiped out.

In the past ten years, in response to the original Ming warships, European countries have vigorously developed their own warships.

The Spanish battleships have been improved three times, and now all the new warships that have come out have been able to reach a range of 3,000 meters, which was originally improved for the Ming warships.

It's just that at this moment, the Daming battleship appeared again, and all the Spanish navy, including the Count of Lancas, sadly found that their new battleship had been improved three times, and it could indeed reach a range of three thousand meters, which was similar to the performance of the original Daming battleship in the Battle of Malacca, but now the Daming battleship has also developed greatly, and suddenly increased the maximum range to a terrifying distance of seven thousand meters.

Gritted his teeth, no matter what, now they already have a few new warships that can reach the range, and they have been beaten so badly by these eight weird Daming cranes, they have to fight back first.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "About four new Spanish warships with a range of three thousand meters fired at the eight Ming ironclad ships in a salvo.

Dozens of shells passed, killing pillars of sea water, even if the Spanish battleship was at the limit range of 3,000 meters, no matter how low the hit rate was, but dozens of shells came over, how could one or two hit the Ming battleship.

Sure enough, a solid bullet and a flowering bullet each hit a Ming ironclad battleship.

I saw that the Daming ironclad ship hit by the flowering bomb, where the cannonball hit, only burst into flames, but it did not blow up any piece of armor, that is to say, this flowering bomb actually did not cause any damage to the ironclad ship that was hit.

As for the Daming ironclad ship that was hit by the solid bullet, almost only in addition to a slightly concave and convex white spot where the solid bullet hit, the solid bullet was also bounced into the sea by the armor on the ironclad, and it also failed to cause any damage to the Daming ironclad.

This -------

Such a terrifying scene, not to mention the remaining dozen or so intact Spanish warships in front of them, even the Spaniards on the hundreds of Spanish fleet ships that had been running at full speed in front of them all widened their eyes in horror, and they couldn't believe that this was what they saw.

The flowering and solid shells of their battleships hit the eight Ming warships, and they could only cause tiny damage that could be almost negligible.

Nima, if this kind of damage is calculated, even if these eight Daming battleships stop there and use them as targets for them to bombard at will, they dare not say that they can sink the Daming battleships.

Da Ming's battleship was so powerful that how could they believe that this was true, this world was too crazy.

"Could it be that these warships of the Ming Dynasty are all made of steel?" In the hundreds of Spanish ships in front of him, the hands of Count Lancas, the commander of the Spanish American fleet, holding the telescope, were trembling, he could not believe it, and he did not want to believe that it was true.

When he first saw these eight strange Ming warships, Count Lancas felt from many things on the battleships that these eight Ming warships might be built of all steel, but at the beginning, he didn't believe it, because there was no talk that steel could float on the water in Europe, and the huge warships built of all steel must be extremely heavy and heavy, and it was impossible for sails and manpower to drive such a battleship, so Count Lancas didn't believe it.
