Chapter 654: The Spanish Armada

24 July, Port of Gibraltar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Port of Gibraltar is located on the northern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar and is a small port. The ocean-going fleet remained in the harbor for three days, and the search for the city of Atlantis under the sea still made no progress.

The fleet's long-term stay had already aroused the vigilance of the Spanish fleet, and Ouyang Shuo clearly felt that the number of Spanish warships patrolling the harbor waters was increasing day by day.

"Find another day, and if you can't find it, leave!" Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart, although he had demarcated a specific area for Xiaoqing according to the information disclosed on the forum in his previous life, it still took a great opportunity to find it.

On the eve of leaving, Xiaoqing finally returned, holding an object that resembled a gas mask in her mouth. Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed when he saw it, he knew that the city of Atlantis had finally been found!

This "gas mask", along with the special items obtained by Pico in his previous life, are all unique to the Atlantean civilization, and the real name is "underwater breathing apparatus".

With it, the player is able to move freely under the sea.

"Well done!"

Ouyang Shuo took off the underwater breathing apparatus from Xiaoqing's mouth and gave a thumbs up at the same time. Four days and four nights of continuous searching at the bottom of the sea, even if Xiaoqing is a sub-divine beast, I am afraid that it is not light.

In order to find Atlantis, the little guy tried his best this time, and he must have suffered a lot.

"Year~~~"

The little guy was arrogant, looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees, but the satisfaction in his eyes could not be concealed. The funny thing is that although Xiaoqing has evolved into the unicorn subspecies, her cry is still the cry of a young beast.

One man, one beast, extraordinary harmony.

Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze. Only then did he notice that Xiaoqing's back was bleeding, and a large piece of his back was rotten, and all the scales had fallen off, revealing the flesh and even bones inside.

Seriously injured, the little guy didn't even snort.

Ouyang Shuo saw how keenly he saw it, and he recognized it at once, this wound was definitely not an injury from a giant beast fighting, but a firearm, to be precise, it should have been injured by artillery.

"Who did it?" Ouyang Shuo's tone was already difficult to hide his anger.

"Woo~~~"

Xiaoqing turned her head and looked out of the port.

Ouyang Shuo looked up and saw a Spanish warship approaching quickly, and there was a faint clamor from the ship.

"It's them?!"

Ouyang Shuo has basically determined that the culprit is the Spanish fleet.

"Year~~~"

Xiaoqing nodded, and it was hard to hide the hatred in her eyes.

Ouyang Shuo's excited emotions suddenly calmed down, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he touched Xiaoqing's head, "Little man, don't worry, I'll avenge you, you go down and bandage it first." ”

"Woo~~~"

Xiaoqing obediently left with the military doctor who arrived.

Ouyang Shuo sent Xiaoqing away, his eyes turned completely cold, he didn't look back, and said lightly: "Pass the order, all of them have it, and the fleet will immediately enter the first-level combat readiness." ”

"No!"

Chen Dameng, who had been following Ouyang Shuo, was also angry when he saw Xiaoqing's tragic condition. In the battle of the Star Kingdom, Xiaoqing showed his might, killing the white lion in one fell swoop, and it was rare to recruit this group of rude soldiers.

And now their "baby" is being shelled with artillery, how can they not be angry ?!

Chen Da saluted and strode away.

In less than ten minutes, the entire ocean-going fleet completely "woke up".

After the fleet entered the Mediterranean, at Ouyang Shuo's request, it has been deliberately keeping a low profile, and when it docked at the port, it also appeared as a commercial fleet, without a trace of gunpowder at all.

Now it's time to "shine the sword"!

Archers, sword and shield soldiers, artillerymen and other troops quickly took position, the golden dragon battle flag fluttered in the wind, and the war drums were beaten. Ouyang Shuo's life motto is, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone offends me, there will be no piece of armor left! ”

While the ocean-going fleet was preparing to depart, the Spanish battleship rushed into the harbor in a hurry and headed straight for the Dragonhead.

A middle-aged man with a white hat and a black beard on the battleship shouted at the Dragonhead with a rebellious attitude: "Hey, have you seen a cyan monster?" ”

Good guy, this guy doesn't pay attention to the ocean-going fleet at all.

It's no wonder that this man is so arrogant, the Spaniards regard the Mediterranean as their backyard. The fact that the port of Gibraltar is in Spanish territory has further fueled their arrogance.

Restoring the glory of a maritime power has always been a long-cherished wish of Spanish players. In their eyes, how can the backward eastern countries compare to their naval invincible armada?!

"Xiaoqing was injured by you?" Ouyang Shuo's tone was flat.

"Xiaoqing?" The middle-aged man couldn't turn the corner for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's that cyan monster." Damn, we can still escape after being hit by a shot, it looks like an extraordinary thing, and if you catch it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. Where is the beast now? ”

“……”

Hearing this, the twenty guns of the Dragonhead were already aimed at the Spanish battleship. Ouyang Shuo looked at the other party, but it seemed to be looking at a dead man, "It's my contract beast." ”

"Ugh!" The middle-aged man woke up at this time, and finally he was not completely confused by desire, "Since this is the case, then forget it." But next time, take care of your contract beast and don't let it run around. ”

"Go back!" The middle-aged man turned his head and ordered.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "What?" Hurt my contract beast, do you want to leave like this? ”

"What do you want? Don't forget that this is the Mediterranean, our Spanish territory. ”

The middle-aged man's attitude was still rebellious, and his tone was already a little stiff. finally encountered a strange beast, but in the end it was empty, which already made the middle-aged man quite depressed.

In his concept, he didn't force the cyan monster to pass, but he had already given it to the other party. Where did I think that depending on the other party's meaning, it was like not forgiving.

"Leave your life behind!" Ouyang Shuo's voice was still flat.

"Haha!" The middle-aged man was like hearing a big joke, "Your brain is burned, right?" ”

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, unwilling to bother anymore.

"Fire!"

Zheng He was interested and immediately ordered.

The rumbling sound of artillery drowned out the mockery, horror, and curses of the middle-aged people. The Dragonhead suddenly attacked, and the Spanish battleship was caught off guard, and before it could fight back, it was sunk by artillery.

The "invincible battleship" slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and with it the so-called "glory of Spain".

The other Spanish warships patrolling the waters outside the harbor heard the rumbling of artillery, immediately reacted, quickly assembled, and sailed towards the harbor with great vigour.

"Formation!" Zheng He ordered.

With the wave of the flag, the ocean-going fleet, which was originally docked side by side, quickly changed into a battle formation, and the [Flying Swallow Spreading Wings] formation of the Ming Dynasty's global shock first appeared in the Mediterranean, showing its majesty.

"Attack!"

The fleet quickly left the harbor and rushed towards the Spanish battleships opposite.

There were only about 20 Spanish warships patrolling the periphery of the port, which was simply not enough to see in front of the ocean-going fleet. They dared to rush over, relying on the support of the Spanish Armada behind them.

In their minds, the Shanhai City Ocean Fleet would not dare to provoke a full-scale war between the two sides. rushed over in a hurry, just to get justice for the sunken battleship.

But they were wrong!

Ouyang Shuo knew that when he sank the first Spanish warship, the contradiction between the two was irreconcilable. The fact that the ocean-going fleet came with a desire for peaceful trade did not mean that it had to be compromised.

True peace often needs to be baptized by war. Blindly subduing softness will not bring peace.

If Shanhai City wants to completely open up the great shipping route, it can't get around the Spanish fleet entrenched in the Mediterranean.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo was not ready to have a showdown with the other party so soon, but the development of the situation was no longer allowing Ouyang Shuo to think too much, and he had to fight back.

"Since you've done it, let's just do it thoroughly." Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself, "It's also time for the proud Spaniards to realize that their so-called glory has long been outdated!" ”

The Mediterranean, not the Mediterranean of Spain.

In order to keep the ocean trade routes open, the sailors of Shanhai City must deploy warships in the Mediterranean, flex their muscles, and show their presence.

Ouyang Shuo had never found a chance before. The "Xiaoqing Incident" is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, and Ouyang Shuo will not miss it. The situation has evolved to the present, and revenge for Xiaoqing has become a secondary factor.

……

An hour, just an hour.

More than 20 Spanish warships rushed up were all destroyed, and the wreckage of the battleships floated on the sea.

Got the news that the port of Gibraltar was in complete chaos. Presumably, the main force of the Spanish invincible warship had received the news at this time and was rushing here.

"Junhou, what should I do next?" Zheng He asked.

In this battle, although the ocean-going fleet won, Zheng He's expression was not relaxed.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that the ocean-going fleet has fought against an opponent of its class. The guns and guns of the Spanish fleet were one level higher than those of the ocean-going fleet in terms of quantity and quality.

Although the ocean-going fleet fought more and fought less, in order to destroy the other side, it paid the price of three warships and more than a dozen red horse boats.

The result of the war was enough to make Zheng He sober up. The ocean-going fleet still has a long way to go in the future, and it is not a simple matter to truly dominate the seas.

You must know that the strongest fleet in Europe is not the Spanish fleet, but the British fleet.

"Take the port of Gibraltar first, and get ready for a tough battle!" Ouyang Shuo ordered.

"Understood!" Zheng He nodded.

The Port of Gibraltar was a small port, and although it was strategically located, it could not withstand the shelling of the ocean-going fleet. In the afternoon of the same day, the port was completely incorporated into the rule of Shanhai City.

At the same time, a system announcement rang in the ears of Spanish players.

"System announcement: The lord of the Chinese region said that Wuyi led his troops to capture the port of Gibraltar and took the initiative to provoke a national war, Spain entered the national war mode, and the royal city of Madrid entered a state of second-level alert. For the specific situation, please check for yourself! ”
