Chapter 813: The Battle of Hierro Island

El Hierro.

The Canary Islands are located in southwestern Africa, while Hierro is the closest island to Morocco in Africa. At the same time as receiving the emergency from the base, the fleet stationed here gathered as soon as possible and rushed to the rescue.

Franco, the commander of the detachment, was very resourceful, knowing that the other side had attacked the base with lightning speed and besieged Teneri Philadelphia, and it would be difficult for his fleet to gain benefits, so he deliberately slowed down the speed of the voyage until another fleet arrived, and only after the two sides had converged did he start to kill the Pencanary Islands.

The two fleets, with a total of 20,000 warships, arrived in the waters of Hierro Island. Franco could see the black smoke rising from afar, and even if he didn't see it himself, he could guess how bad the situation was on the island.

In any case, Hierro Island is ruined.

"Damn the Chinese. This is a provocation! Franco angrily sent a private message to his colleague.

"This is not a provocation, it is a declaration of war. Franco, war is coming, be careful. Francisco reminded, in a calm tone, apparently upset by the bad situation on the island.

"On the island? Or go to Teneri Philadelphia first? There has been no news over there, and I don't know if Your Excellency the Commander will be able to hold out until we arrive. Franco asked.

"Now is not the time to think about this island, you see the situation on the island, we have to rush to Tenerife immediately to relieve the siege. His Excellency the Commander will not lose Teneri Philadelphia in just a few days. "Francisco is very calm and analytical.

"You're right." Franco immediately agreed.

The two men discussed and then ordered the fleet to bypass the island of Hierro and go straight to Tenerife. However, no sooner had the fleet rounded the island of Hierro than a flotilla suddenly burst out from the other side and rushed straight into the belly of the fleet.

"It's a Chinese person!"

"It's a Chinese person!"

Franco and Francisco sent each other a private message warning at the same time. Both of them have been in battle for a long time, and while issuing the alarm, they commanded the fleet to immediately seize the upper hand.

In the Age of Discovery, which is powered by wind or manpower, seizing the upper hand is also seizing the advantage, and tactics such as collision and overboard jumping can be fully played.

The Armada then deftly reversed direction and seized the upper hand with the advantage of speed. In a short period of time, the originally bloated fleet was like a smart python, and its fangs were aimed at the sudden attack of the Xanadu Sailor.

The two sides were not far apart, and the ships at the front of the two sides were soon approaching within a kilometer. The Xanadu Sailor immediately took the lead in attacking, and black smoke rose from the decks of the frontmost ships, and the Divine Fire Crow with the longest range shot out first.

"Childish!"

Franco and Franco sneered at the same time, and commanded the fleet to disperse like a textbook, and the fleet was dismembered and dispersed into small formations, each consisting of five warships, giving full play to the advantages of speed and agility.

Puff puff, the first wave of Divine Fire Crows almost all missed, falling into the sea. Under the high-speed navigation of the two sides, it is difficult to obtain results if they cannot form a dense offensive.

"Lean in and tell the Huaxia people that this is not the place for him to go wild!" Franco gave an order, and one formation after another suddenly pounced on the Xanadu Sailor like a vicious wolf.

In a short period of time, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

At this time, the decks of more warships of the Xanadu Sailor Division were lively. Dragon cannons, divine fire flying crows and thousands of cannons fired in unison, and in an instant, the sky was filled with black smoke, and raindrops covered the incoming Spanish fleet.

Dense offensive, with few gaps. Rao is the Spanish fleet has brought the speed and flexibility of Western-style warships to the extreme, but it has also suffered a heavy blow, and the dozen or so formations at the forefront have fallen into the sea of fire in an instant, and they have lost their combat power.

However, under the intensive artillery fire, the Spanish fleet did not damage the name of the Invincible Armada, ignoring the painful losses, and under the command of Franco, they launched a frantic charge, and tried to take overboard.

The distance of a kilometer is not long, especially at full speed of Western-style warships. After losing about five hundred ships, the three formations at the forefront of the Armada broke through the artillery blockade, successfully engaged the broadside, and then ...... The sailors on the ship who were ready to jump into the gang fought hard bite their knives and lined up to climb the mast, and then grabbed the cable and swung over.

Even the smallest warships were a cut above Western-style warships, and they could not climb the mast and could not go up.

Soon the first sailors managed to jump onto the deck, and then a dense forest of guns was ushered in. After eliminating the old water combat props such as the slap stick, the extra space can be loaded with more soldiers. A stern fighter is now fully loaded with 500 men, while a Western-style warship is worth 100 men.

A five-fold gap.

The sailors were unable to escape at this time. In mid-air, all they could do was howl wildly, wielding their swords desperately, trying in vain to earn a glimmer of life, and then they didn't fight. The pikemen stationed on the deck did not need to make any unnecessary movements, they only needed to raise their spears, and the other party sent them to the door like a string.

On the flagship of the Xanadu Sailor Division, Zhou Yu stood on the top deck and looked at the battle situation ahead, his face was a little ugly. Lu Yao sat in the port of Tenerife and talked nonsense to the other party, he was completely responsible for annihilating the Invincible Armada to help, but he didn't expect to suffer a setback at the beginning.

"Such barbarians are wise, attacking their weaknesses with their own strengths." Zhou Yu hated and pounded the guardrail in front of him. After all, he still underestimated the strength of the Invincible Armada's all-Western-style warships, and was caught off guard by the other party, losing the advantage of black technology in vain.

However, Zhou Yu was not discouraged, to be reasonable, this was the water battle he was familiar with.

The flag was raised, and the entire army of the Xanadu Sailor Division dispersed like fireworks in an instant, and plunged headlong into the imposing invincible armada.

In an instant, the dull sound of collision became the main theme of this sea area. With the advantage of size, the Paradise Sailor defeated the Armada with a bewildered face. At least a thousand warships lost their combat power in this wave of collision, and they could only watch as the dense soldiers jumped off the Paradise Sailor warship, and quickly completed the gang jump.

Franco and the others were completely stunned when they saw the dense soldiers jumping off the dense soldiers on the Paradise Sailor warship like dumplings, and there was only one thought in their minds.

How many people are on your ship, it's not endless?

It's not scientific!

It's only twice as big as Lao Tzu's warship, how can it hold so many people?

However, when the two of them saw the small city-like building boat jumping close to the gang, the whole person was not good. It's also a hairy fight.

Compared with science and technology, it is an era worse than the number of people...... It's an embarrassing topic for thieves, don't talk about it.

At this time, Franco and his wife had no chance to escape. The warships of the two sides were completely stacked together, and they lost their upper hand, so they lost the advantages of speed and flexibility, and all they could do was to cause as many casualties as possible to the Paradise Sailors.

In less than two hours, the Arcadia Marines ended the battle, escorting a group of prisoners and warships to Tenerife.
