When the Ming Army was ready to stop, at the time of the showdown at the negotiating table, the army of the Indian governor had also arrived full of thorns, and Ezeiger was also a poor dagger and eager to try.

In order for the fleet to arrive in time, the Indian fleet can be said to be day and night marching, although the drive from the endless sea breeze, do not need manpower to drive, but day and night sailing, or make the whole army tired.

When the army arrived, Ezeiger looked at the spectacular fleet and almost wept bitterly.Twenty ships, twenty!This is almost all of the Portuguese Navy's main warships in control of the Indian Ocean.

The Governor of Albuquerque was venturing to gamble with him.This god of war, who has been at risk all his life, has given him absolute confidence and once again shows that his will to the Far East must be won.

This was almost the entire Portuguese garrison in India, and if it failed and caused great trauma to the fleet, Albuquerque's political life would end, and even be impeached and tried.

And the Royal Portuguese Navy will not only fail in the Far East, but also in the entire Indian Ocean, and this power gap will soon be filled by the Spanish, Arabs and Da Ming forces.

Therefore, the Chinese people's July 14th, the legendary days of ghosts, these Mindi and Cantonese people's mouths are not idle, the transfer of troops, the handling of arms, more than 40 warships ready to go, Izeger must die for the ideal, for the future, for the trust of General Kerk.

When the news of the Ming Army's arrival came back through the news of the express delivery, Ezeiger, as the commander of the theater, immediately ordered all warships to set sail and fight to the death with the Ming Army in the sea.

Their warships, plus the Ming army's warships, a large number of fleets in the full strait can not start a decisive battle in the full thorny strait, and if the Ming army rushes to the shore and seize the land, they will be forced to fight with the enemy on both the sea and the land.

The Ming Army is not a full-fledged royal palace guard.At that time, it is easy to talk about how easy it is to claim lost ground, only in the sea to decide the death of the battle, the destruction of the main force of the Ming Army, then the Ming Army can only return to the land, the South China Sea, the East Sea can become their own water park.

In order to make use of the power of the sideboard guns and quickly mobilize the gunfire of the ships in coordination, the warships still take the geese shape of the ships that gather horizontally at a certain distance, and more than 40 warships line up into three lines of geese.Each line was about three nautical miles apart, and the Ming army was greeted.

The first warships are the genie, the Spanish pirate merchants and the mercenaries, these miscellaneous army's combat power is uneven, the ability to cooperate with each other is worse, it is self-evident that they are placed in the forefront, and Ezeiger is not selling fruit.

This "Joint**" fleet has a Portuguese warship in the middle command.The captain was Captain Louis of the Royal Spanish Navy.Diego, he was a combative soldier.It was Ezeiger's lover, who was also a nobleman, and his father was a jazz.

Diego, dressed in a high-brimmed military uniform, ascended to the observation deck and looked away.The sun is sufficient at this time.The only thing that is not conducive to combat is that the wind is blowing from the Ming military at this time, so that the speed of the ship is faster than theirs.

But Diego didn’t care much about it, and here’s where they fought.Instead of the place where the ship raced, once the two armies fought, the fast-tracking ship would not be of any use.His sailors and helmsmen can make the most of his combat effectiveness by making them fully adjusted.

Diego saw the Ming Army's warships, and in an instant he couldn't help but stare at the eye: "Oh my God, this is the Ming Army Marine Division that makes the commander worried and even mobilizes all the naval forces of the Indian base to fight?"

A lot of boats, a lot of them.There were more ships moored in the port of the most prosperous trade ever seen in Diego, but these ships were large and small, uneven, and some could even see that its sails were rarified, and the rows of the ships were uneven and irregular, so it was inconceivable that the rearboat might even interrupt the mast of a friendly ship.

Diego could swear to God that he was in St. John’s.While studying at the Ferrancysco Maritime Academy.No genius professor ever told him that he could use such a formation to launch an attack on the enemy.Is this the first power of the East?

Lewis.Diego put up with the feeling of wanting to laugh: we were waiting.Such a tattered watermaster came, and they looked foolishly no different from the backward indigenous tribes.

Diego ordered the fleet to slow down.Turning to the side, more than a dozen warships stood on the sea and set off the attack formation.

“Their tactics are stupid, but there is no doubt that they are braver, why are fools always braver?”Diego muttered with a superior and compassionate aristocratic tone, looking at the Ming army fleet still rushing toward his muzzle, and habitually stroking the coat of arms and school emblems on his chest.

The coat of arms that graduated from the Maritime Academy was the school's youngest female instructor, and Ali, who was chartered by the king and promoted to captain because of his special contribution.Baron Adney wore it to his own hands.

The year he graduated, the year that Adity went to teach at school, when he first saw Adity, he was fascinated by this noble, beautiful and elegant noble girl.

He had almost decided to repeat it for three years, if it had not been for his father, Sir Louis, who had asked for a duel with his sword, would have done so.

"Unfortunately, her family even supported the judgment of the criminals who fell from a nobleman to an empire."Alas, now Miss Adney does not know whether she is still alive, perhaps she has now become one of dozens of wives of some fat native chief who weighs three hundred pounds, and has given birth to several children for him, wearing a dress woven from the leaves and the skin, sitting in front of a nest at the foot of a certain mountain to soak up the sun.

Diego, who sadly drew a cross on his chest for his short-lived love, then took off his cap and waved it forward gracefully, chanting, “Shoot, my soldier, and send these foolish poor people back.”

A series of dreary cannons sounded, one by one, the mouth of fire, and a column of water was raised in the Ming army fleet in front.The army is such an unexpected lineup.Captain Pedro and Miyamoto were surprised, too, but they were too late to think more, and as Diego ordered the guns, they hurried to attack the approaching Ming ships.

The intensive artillery fire set off more waves, some Ming army warships have been hit, there are a small warship with multiple shells and even broken up by the explosion, but the Ming army's warships did not make a counterattack posture, still rushed over without hesitation.

“Do they want to sink us with these broken ships?”Or be prepared to risk huge casualties.“Helping a fight?”Diego’s eyes were a little confused.He ordered the fleet to continue to attack with heavy artillery fire, while simply reporting the situation to the back with flag language, asking them to pay attention to the two-winged sea surface in case the Ming Army struck from the flank.

The Ming army has been shot many ships, some of which have been broken through the bottom of the hull, obviously have leaked underwater, still swaggered and rushed over, behind these dense ships.Large ships of the same size began to emerge as large as the Portuguese fleet.

"That is the main force of the Ming Army", Diego stared at the distant, neat formation of the main battleship of the Ming Army, and a kind of vows surged in his eyes.

It was Hanwu and Adity led the official fleet.Adney stood at the head of the ship, watching the distant Portuguese fleet still pose with a cross-barrage of shelling, and couldn't help but sigh: "I think."Even if Commander Dagama is here, I am afraid that the first battle will also suffer a big loss.“With us, it is too imaginative to use so many ships for a one-off attack.”

Han Wu also noticed that the Portuguese army has not changed.Don't let it be easy to laugh: "This kind of war can only be surprisingly won, once it is recognized, it is worthless."But for now, we seem to have succeeded.”

He looked back and said, "Order, accelerate forward, change yarn in the way, Weifeng leads the way, take the scythe line."

Adelie shook her body and repeated, “Scythe?The death of the soldiers...”

Han Wu looked at her strangely and said, “What are you talking about?Scythe...” He slowly drew a curve in the air.At the same time, he said, "It's just a housework of mowing the grass."

In the distance, Diego wringing his eyebrows and analyzing the Ming Army's strategy: "What happened to these different types of land ships in front?"It’s not always about consuming our shells, is it?”

Too many artillery shells are fired, it is indeed necessary to clean up the barrel, cool the barrel, and the relative delay will delay the time of the shelling, but the Portuguese army has so many warships, and now only one side of the cannon, the impact is very slight, which will be the purpose of the Ming Army.

Or.Wolves tactics?With these small boats, a large number of casualties close to the close combat.Creating opportunities for the main battleship behind?What opportunity?No indiscriminate attack?Diego laughed at his own absurd idea.As a general trained in the regular Western way of naval warfare, Diego could not think of any other purpose in sending such many ships.

Just at this time.A large number of Ming army ships have been close to within 30 feet, at this time can see the deck of some ships, the upper empty no one, no one is empty, no wonder they are hard against artillery fire, never did resist.This strange phenomenon caused Diego, who had intended to order the fleet to sail, and Diego, which formed a triangular attack with the rear formation of the fleet.

At this time, one after another, the Ming army warship burned up, the wind borrowed the fire, burning very rapidly, it seems that the ship filled a lot of flammable materials and set up the regular fire things.Although he had never seen a large number of warships used fire-offing tactics, at this time Diego finally understood the intention of the Ming Army: Yang Ling was not selling fruit.

More than a dozen horizontal artillery Portuguese warships were attacked in too large, Diego decisively ordered, stopped the shelling, all warships turned to face the Ming ship, the use of the narrow and clear army of fire ships although there are many, but there are still gaps between the hulls to speed up the way.

It was too late to move to both sides, and as a soldier, he could not tolerate not seeing even an enemy, but was chased by a pile of fire boats.The warships that the Ming Army really used to attack was still a long distance away, and at this time was walking the arc, and he had time to get rid of these fire ships and re-open the attack formation.

The Portuguese ship quickly turned the bow, facing a spit on the flame, and the burning mast canvas "cracking" bright ship rushed past.The first row of the burning fireboat had passed by.Just then, a "pomp" sounded, and a boat of Miyamoto was hit by the fire ship of the Ming Army, and the hull shook a little, and continued to sail forward.

“What a fool!”Diego cursed, but then he rolled his eyes in amazement.

The fireboat that only hit Miyamoto's warship was on the other side of the ship, and he could only estimate that it collided with the Ming arms ship.But the details were not known, but now he clearly saw that a fire ship on this side, like life, suddenly turned and hit the Miyamoto-Hao battleship.

Another "whist" sound, the burning fire ship hit the fast-moving warship, the impact of the hull makes the fire more intense after a meal.And as the battleship moved forward, the fireboat even clung to its hull, because the sails have burned up at this time, so these fire ships have no obstacles, the fire burned Miyamoto's ship.There was also a sudden fire on the portboard, and the crew who wanted to fight the fire could not even get close to the past.

Diego could no longer scold the East Man for being a fool, for his ship, all the other ships that had passed quickly through the middle of the fireboat.They all suffered the same fate.First, I felt that the bottom of the ship was sluggish for a moment like resistance, and then the fireboats on both sides of the earth moved quickly like a fire meteor, hit the board hard, and began to burn the battleship.

"There must be an underwater cable between the fireboats, these fire ships are connected to each other, my God, it is simply a net, back."Immediately back off!”

The sailor and the helmsman nervously adjusted the battleship, and there was a strange scene on the sea.A three-masted warship, towing a blazing wooden boat on both sides of the trail slowly.More large and small fire ships are rushing in succession, and they are chasing after death... their bows.

In the distance, the Ming Army's large warships are rapidly approaching, and a row of warships will soon enter the best shelling position at the bottom of the arc.Diego was anxious, and he informed the second echelon to pick up, from the two wings around to fight with the Ming Army.Accelerate one side back.But the damn fireboats were like conjoined babies, and they bite him on the ground.

A sailor avoids the most burning, fire-in-sighting part of the ship.With a long pole to push hard to tug at the fire, after being burned by the fire of the skin, finally left the burning pole, desperate to return to the fire: "Captain Diego, the ship side installed countless long nails, when the impact, has been deeply nailed into our ship, there is no way to separate."

“What?”Diego glared at his eyes and screamed, so that he did not play in a normal way, so that he also became helpless like a new soldier.

As a commander, he had dealt with a variety of enemies, wielding machetes, riding tyrant Arabs, and hiding in the grass with arrows and oil on his face.As for the naval battles with European countries and the countries of the East, large and small, including India, he has also experienced a lot, but this confrontation is the first encounter.

1,300 Four years ago, a general with a hundred thousand army commanders, holding a sharp knife, was angry at the burning fire around him, and then he left a hundred thousand troops like the cook king to escape, and the general was called Xia Houdun.

Louis Diego was more upset than Chahoud, at least the enemy of Xia Houdun had twenty or thirty thousand soldiers besides fire, but now only by these fire ships, I would have to burn down more than ten ships of mine?

“Bombing!”The ship's side of the ship made an explosion and was cracked by the blazing ship.It was because the fireboat was too hot, and the cannon that was placed next to the fire did not have time to take it away, causing an explosion.

“What to do?”The people on each ship ran in panic, the fire was too fast and too fierce, the side of the ship could not stand, could not be extinguished, and could not get rid of the fire ship, whether it was more than ten warships with nearly three hundred cannons, could it be completely destroyed by some small countries with such strength?

Diego suddenly came up with an unusual response, he loudly ordered: "side off the sail, all-out collision with Miyamoto's battleship, with flanks to hit, smash the fire ship!"

The ship moved in its direction and then hit Miyamoto's cap.With a "whist", the hulls of the two ships shook violently, and the crew of Miyamoto did not receive a warning, and this collision was "dumped" by Captain Diego, and there was a close contact with the deck, the shipboard, the mast, the cable column, etc.

The fire ship itself had not burned hard, and after the collision broke out in a "cracking" sound, another impact, the hull was completely broken, and some parts of the broken fire were still clinging to the side of the boat, but the fire was much smaller.

The other ships began to paint the gourds and collided with each other.The iron rope of the fire ship is still connected, and the collision will drag more fireboats over, and a careless point is uncertain where to nail it.In addition to the first Diego to use this method of the left and right of the impact out of the regiment, the other ships of the impact only attracted more fire ships nailed to their bows and sides.

At this time, the warships of the Ming army approached, and the ships of the warships were sideways, pegging a beautiful arc, like a military parade.A row of black hole in the mouth, "bombing", artillery shells as the rain.

The "joint" of playing the "touching ship" is like a mess, the more entangled with each other, the more the ships add fire ships, all tangled together, and have lost their ability to move.

Their ships were congested with each other, the hull was entangled by the fireboats, the ships on both sides were raging, some of them had been seriously damaged, and under the severe impact, the remaining artillery also broke the gun racks, rolling everywhere, and it could not be used for combat.

This is the strangest battle in the history of naval warfare, when one side of the war cannon attack, the other side did not even fire back.Diego looked sadly ahead, and the more than a dozen warships belonging to the Spanish pirates, the pirates, and the native mercenaries had become a pile of tattered, ten times more than the broken ships of the Ming Army he had just seen.

The ship that was burned by the fire and broken by the shells became the best incendiary, and now even if there was no fire ship, it could not extinguish the fire.

“My fleet is finished!”Diego lamented.

"Oh . . . .", Peng shark eyebrows and smiles, and his hair is red with a red flag on the top of his head, but it is very much like a fire star.Although standing here can not see the situation, but the smoke floating in the sea is telling him: the great work is done.

If the fire attack fails, it is impossible for the scattered fire ship to form such a thick, concentrated smoke.Although the plan of fire attack was a plan that was constantly refined after many generals and chiefs, the original advocate was him.

The first battle, the fire camp, this feat naturally can not run away from him.

When the lost Diego ship retreated two nautical miles away, the second echelon, which had been misguided, decisively abandoned the rescue of the Diego fleet and straight to the scythe.

The communication boat at sea passed the command signal of the Hanwu ship, and Peng shark spirited and rolled his arm and said, “It is our turn to go!”
