    The Ming army was ready for everything. When the showdown was on the negotiating table, the army of the Indian governor had also arrived in Mancijia, and Aizeg was also trying to show his strength and was eager to try.

    In order for the fleet to arrive in time, the Indian fleet can be said to be marching day and night. Although the driving force comes from the endless sea wind and does not require human power, the non-stop sailing day and night still makes the entire army exhausted.

    When the army arrived, Ezege looked at the magnificent fleet and almost burst into tears.  Twenty warships, a full twenty!  This is almost all the main battleships of the Portuguese Navy that controls the Indian Ocean.

    His Excellency the Governor of Albuquerque is taking a risk and betting with him on this game.  The God of War, who has been adventurous all his life, has given him absolute trust and once again demonstrated his determination to win the Far East.

    This is almost the entirety of Portugal's garrison in India. Once it fails and the fleet suffers major trauma, Albuquerque's political life will be over, and he will even be impeached and tried.

    And the Royal Portuguese Navy not only suffered a crushing defeat in the Far East, but also became powerless in the entire Indian Ocean. This power gap will soon be filled by the forces of the Spaniards, Arabs, and Ming Dynasty.

    Therefore, the fourteenth day of the Chinese lunar month is a day when ghosts are said to be haunted by legends. These ghosts in the mouths of the people in Fujian and Guangdong are not idle. They dispatch troops and generals, carry arms, and more than forty warships are ready to go. Ai Ze  Ge must fight to the death for his ideals, for his future, and for the trust of General Krk.

    When the news that the Ming army had attacked came back through the news speedboat, Ezege, as the commander of the theater, immediately ordered all the warships to set sail and fight to the death with the Ming army in the sea off Mancijia.

    Their warships plus those of the Ming army, the huge fleet cannot start a decisive battle in the Mancijia Strait. Moreover, if the Ming army takes the opportunity to rush ashore and occupy the land first, they will be forced to fight against both the sea and the land.  of enemies engaged.

    The Ming army is not the Royal Palace Guard of Manchuria. At that time, it will not be easy to regain the lost land. The only way to fight to the death on the sea is to wipe out the main force of the Ming army's navy in one fell swoop. Then the Ming army can only retreat to land, and the South China Sea and the East China Sea can become their own water.  paradise.

    In order to facilitate the use of the power of the broadside guns and quickly mobilize the artillery fire of the cooperative warships, the warships still adopt the shape of wild goose feathers where the ships gather at a certain distance horizontally. More than forty warships are arranged in three rows of wild goose feathers, with each row separated by about three.  In the sea, Xiang Mingjun greeted him.

    The warships in the first row are Japanese, Spanish pirate merchants, and mercenaries. These miscellaneous troops have uneven combat power and poor coordination ability. The meaning of placing them at the forefront is self-evident, Ezege  It's not a fruit seller.

    There is a Portuguese warship in the center of this "United Nations Army" fleet.  The captain is Luis Diego, captain of the Spanish Royal Navy. He is a militant soldier, Ezego's favorite general, and also a nobleman. His father is a jazz.

    Wearing a straight military uniform, Diego boarded the watchtower and looked into the distance.  At this time, the sun was sufficient, and the only thing that was not conducive to combat was that the wind was blowing from the direction of the Ming army, so the speed of the Ming army's boats was faster than theirs.

    However, Diego didn't care too much about this. This was the scene of their decisive battle, not the place where the boat races were held. Once the two armies were at war, fast sailing would be useless.  His sailors and helmsmen can make his warships give full play to their combat effectiveness through subtle adjustments.

    Diego saw the battleship of the Ming army clearly, and at this moment he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "My God, this is the Ming army navy that made the commander worry so much that he even dispatched all the main naval forces of the Indian base to fight?"

    A lot of ships, really a lot, more than the ships moored in the most prosperous port that Diego has seen all the way east, but these ships are big and small, uneven, and some of them can even be seen  The sails of the ships are tattered, and the formation of the ships is uneven and irregular. It is unimaginable that the rear ship may even break the mast of its own friendly ship if it fires a cannon in such a situation.

    Diego can swear to God: When he was studying at the San Francisco Maritime Academy, no genius professor ever told him that he could use such a formation to launch an attack on the enemy.  This is the navy of the most powerful country in the East?

    Luis Diego suppressed the feeling of wanting to laugh: We are waiting in full swing, and what we are waiting for is such a shabby navy. They look stupid and seem to be no different from those backward indigenous tribes.

    Diego took the time to order the fleet to lower their sails to slow down and turn sideways. More than a dozen warships lay across the sea, forming an attack formation.

    "Their tactics are stupid, but there is no doubt thatThey all ran in a panic, the fire was burning too fast and too fiercely, no one could stand on the side of the ship, it couldn't be extinguished, and they couldn't get rid of the burning ship. Could it be that more than a dozen warships with nearly 300 cannons could do it with such strength?  The powerful naval power that overthrew many small countries was wiped out by some dilapidated fireboats like this?

    Diego was suddenly in a hurry, and came up with an unconventional solution. He ordered loudly: "Raise the sails sideways, and ram into Hiroshi Miyamoto's warship with all your strength. Use your flanks to ram the fireship into pieces!"

    The battleship moved in direction, and then bumped into Hiroshi Miyamoto's ship.  With a sound of "Boom", the hulls of the two ships shook violently. The crew on Miyamoto's ship did not receive any warning. The collision was immediately "dumped" by Captain Diego, and they were all involved in the deck, ship's side, mast, and bollards.  Had an intimate encounter.

    The fireship itself was already burnt weakly. After the collision, the gap was cracked in a burst of "squeaks". Another impact, the hull was completely shattered, and part of the shattered fireboat was still tightly stuck to the side of the ship.  Burning, but the fire has been much smaller.

    Seeing this, the other battleships began to follow suit and collided with each other.  The iron chains of the fire boats are still connected, and the collision will drag more fire boats over. If you are not careful, you may not know where they will be nailed.  Except for Diego, who was the first to use this method, rammed left and right and quit the battle group. The ramming of other warships only attracted more fireships to be nailed to their bows and sides.

    At this moment, the warships of the Ming army approached, and the hulls of the warships turned sideways, drawing beautiful arcs, like a military parade.  Rows of black holed muzzles, "boom boom boom", the shells are as dense as rain.

    The "United Nations Army" playing with the "bumper boat" is like a mess, and the entanglement becomes tighter and tighter. The ships and the fire boat are all tangled together and have lost the ability to move.

    Their ships were congested with each other, the hulls were entangled by fire ships, the sides of the ships were blazing, and some of them were seriously damaged. Under the violent impact, the surviving artillery also smashed the gun mounts, and rolled everywhere.  Cannot be used for combat.

    This is the strangest battle in the history of naval warfare. When one side's warship fired artillery, the other side did not even fire back.  Diego looked ahead sadly. The dozen or so warships belonging to the Spanish pirates, Japanese pirates, and native mercenaries had turned into a pile of wrecks.  times.

    The side of the ship that was burned by the fire and cracked by the shells became the best burning material. Now even if there is no fire ship, it is impossible to extinguish the soaring flames.

    "My fleet is finished!" Diego lamented.

    "Hehehehe", Peng Shark smiled openly, his beard and hair were all red as reflected by a red flag above his head, he looked a lot like a Huode Xingjun.  Although he couldn't see the situation of the battle standing here, the billowing smoke from the sea told him: the battle is over.

    If the fire attack fails, it is impossible for the scattered fire boats to form such a thick and concentrated smoke.  Although the fire attack strategy was a plan that was constantly supplemented and perfected after repeated discussions by many generals and staff, he was the original proponent.

    In the first battle, the company was set on fire. Naturally, this feat could not escape him.

    When Diego's ship, which lost its combat power, retreated two nautical miles away, the second echelon, seeing that the situation was not good, had already formed a zigzag shape, decisively abandoned the rescue of Diego's fleet, and directly intercepted the sickle.

    The communication boat at sea transmitted the order signal of Han Wu's ship, Peng Shark was refreshed, rolled up his sleeves and said: "It's our turn, let's go!"
