In the blue waves, the sea breeze was rarely soothing, and the summer southwest monsoon was familiar, but they were blown off course, and a small and large fleet of Caravel and Clark anchored at sea.

They found a turtle and had to find a way to get it on the boat.

No one knows better than these sailors how difficult it is to get fresh meat in the endless sea, especially turtles, which can live for a long time when thrown into the bottom barn.

The enemy of Lin Feng prevented them from docking in Taiwan, the route from Manila to Japan was infinitely extended, and there were only a few small islands along the way to stop, and now that they had deviated from the route, the morale of the ship had become very low.

Because their surveyor had bleeding gums, which caused him to be in a trance of fear, he shifted course. People grabbed his arm and bled him, thinking that he would be fine if he let the bad blood out, but the symptoms deepened, the bleeding increased, and the surveyor was dying for several days.

It is said that it is one small and two large, but in fact, the three ships are not small, even the smallest Caravel ship is more than 20 meters long, this old ship has deliberately raised the side in order to carry more cargo, and it looks extremely powerful; The two Clark ships were even larger, more than thirty meters long, and their large size and three decks looked like castles at sea.

That's when it happened.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Three soft sounds in the distance made the Spanish sailors who had captured the turtles feel like they were enemies, and the sounds were unfamiliar to them at sea—but they knew it was either guns or cannons.

At the end of the northwest eye, a strange-looking boat was rapidly approaching in a zigzag course. The armor of the people on the ship could not be seen clearly, but a few people stood at the bow of the ship and had just put away the strange looking things, and the smoke slowly dispersed at the bow of the ship.

It seems to be a demonstration to them?

It was so far away that the Spanish sailors on board could not see the other man's boat clearly, but they only felt that it was a twenty-meter boat of similar specifications to Caravel. There was no firepower on the ship, only the open butterfly sails could be recognized as a Chinese ship.

"Raise the sails, ask for money, and catch turtles!"

Three armed merchant ships of various sizes set sail, and the yellow and white canvas took off in the wind, and the huge red saffiano surged forward. The sailors on board quickly entered the combat position under the captain's orders, only a few entered the gun emplacements and stood by, most of the sailors stood on both sides of the mast and drew their swords and swung their swords, ready to take the ship.

Although they did not know why the Northern Empire was called China, they had the impression that the Ming ships had always lacked artillery, and that they were good at using fire and broadside jumping—they were just as good at it, and at this moment, they clearly had more sailors.

The Spaniards were conquerors, whether land, ships or cargo.

Nearly seven or eight miles away from them was a small shark boat, commonly known as the armed fishing boat of Nanyangwei, which was five feet and six feet long, and was actually smaller than the Spaniard's small Caravel boat.

There were not many weapons on board, only four five-pound guns, and in addition to that, there were six Franco-planes, carrying three small flags, which were safely parked at sea. Even compared with the Little Shark Ship, their ship was neither equipped with a ten-pound cannon that Nanyangwei later added to the Little Shark Ship, nor did they replace the Franc machine with a two-pound gun, so it was obviously not the main force in naval warfare.

They were the sea scouts of the South China Sea Expeditionary Force, they were not equipped with cannons, they were slightly faster, and they were at the head of the fleet.

Inform the fleet behind that they saw three enemy ships.

"Oh? Dare to come? ”

The little flag officer holding the mainmast looked at the enemy ship with a telescope, and for a moment it dawned on him, carefully put away the binoculars, climbed down the mast, and ordered in a loud voice: "Raise the mast, raise the sails!" ”

"They have a lookout on the mast, but there seems to be no one on the lookout in front of the ship, and they can't see clearly behind it, so they should think it's just our boat." Several flag officers on the ship communicated: "They have a good wind, and they will be able to fire their guns in another moment, what should they do?" ”

"Qianhu said that Xiyi's cannons are no less than ours, don't raise all the sails, go back." The small flag that had been standing on the bow of the ship looked into the distance and said, "A few more ships will fight again, and Qianhu should be coming here when he hears the sound of cannons." ”

They are Shunde's soldiers and Shao Mang's subordinates.

In fact, if there are high mountains here, if you look north, you can see several huge fleets heading straight to the southeast, and Chen Mu's southern expedition has begun.

Twelve 500 shark ships surrounded two huge ships, far apart and marching side by side, each 500 large ship was escorted by six small shark ships, forming a formation of twelve sailors capable of fighting independently.

They were armed to the teeth, and the fleet of four thousand expeditionary sergeants alone had a thousand guns of all kinds.

After Chen Mu, it was another fleet of the expeditionary force, with more war-blessing ships and grain ships, and many less small shark ships, which were generally similar, and were more than 6,000 Guangdong battalions under Chen Lan's command, which were Chen Mu's escort and baggage fleet.

In addition to these two majestic Ming fleets, there are also Lin Afeng's grass platform, more than 40 Dafu ships, small shark ships, and more than 2,000 East Asian pirates forming a fleet to cruise on the flanks, and the huge fleet covers almost the entire sea area.

Far away in Nanyang Port, Bai Yuanjie commanded more of the Guangdong Dusi Banner Army as a supplementary soldier, and joined the military battle after the results of the first battle.

Shao Tingda was approaching his scout ship, and seven large and small warships under his command were scattered in a seven-mile radius of the sea as the vanguard, and when they heard the letter cannon, they approached the small boat in front. The reckless worm on the ship was gearing up, he hadn't fought a naval battle for a long time, and since Chen Mu went north, there had been no such opportunity.

"See those birds?"

The reckless insect could already see the two small shark boats rushing to his left side, and he could also see his subordinates who were approaching his side to discover the enemy's situation, obviously he was being chased by the enemy ships, and even the sound of rumbling cannons could be heard in the distance, but he obviously couldn't see the enemy ships standing in the stern.

The subordinates on the mast shouted loudly: "See, three, chase left and right!" ”

"Flank fart, how far is it?" Shao Tingda snorted at the mast, and then shouted in a louder voice on the ship: "Remember, if you don't fight, you don't love to fight, put out the big dragon, and break their broken sails first when you go from the side!" ”

"Left Banner Command!"

"Right Banner Command!"

Shao Tingda ordered the two general flags, and the two general flags ordered each small flag, and in a blink of an eye, the entire hundred households on the five hundred shark ships had received the order, and the flag army carried out the cannonballs and gunpowder from the cabin, and the bird guns loaded with the medicine were placed on the side of the ship, riding the wind and waves, and the fleets of the two sides gradually approached.

The three Spanish ships that were chasing and fighting suddenly turned around at a certain moment, and the ships were almost straight and straight in circles on the sea, and the original tailwind suddenly went against the wind, which brought great difficulty to their steering speed, and at this moment, Shao Tingda, a big shark ship with white butterfly sails under the inlaid dragon, suddenly raised his hand: "Drumming!" ”

Knock knock, knock knock!

Rumble!

The heavy guns in the bow of the ship burst out, the ship pierced through the smoke of gunpowder, turned the bow and stabbed away, and the stern sounded a command.

"Starboard guns - ready!"
