364 Sea Battle
When Juan saw the iron-clad warship, his hand shook and the telescope fell from his hand.

He was completely shocked by the ironclad warship, and he didn't even notice that the telescope fell from his hands, and he muttered to God.

Their warships are only more than 600 tons, and they mainly rely on sails and helmsmen to advance.

But Daming's battleship not only can't see the sails, but also can't see the helmsman's oars, so what does he rely on to move forward?

The sudden appearance of a new type of warship has made Juan forget his own situation, and he has been thinking about how the Ming warship will move forward.

"Captain, what should we do, talk quickly?"

The soldiers found that something was wrong with the captain and hurriedly urged him. Under the urging of the soldiers, Juan finally reacted.

"Quick, give me the binoculars."

The soldier handed the binoculars to Juan helplessly, already scolding Juan's old lady in his heart.

In fact, it is useless to scold his mother, he only believes in his master, and doesn't care about you scolding his mother at all.

Juan took the binoculars and carefully observed the Daming iron-clad warship, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"It's nothing special. Although their warships look weird, they only have one cannon. The Ming army must have been trying to scare us with mysteries. They sank them after they came into range, and they were ready to fight immediately."

Juan only saw the cannon on the bow, but did not see any other cannons on the battleship.

He was relieved at once, no matter how powerful a battleship with naval guns is, it is impossible to gain an advantage in naval battles.

When the old bastard thought of the scene of capturing the Da Ming warship, he couldn't help laughing wildly, completely forgetting the embarrassment he had just seen when he saw the Da Ming warship.

"Brothers, fight hard, it's best to capture the Mingren battleship, and then move all our naval guns aboard, haha..."

Standing on the deck of the Shihuang, Zheng Chenggong raised his binoculars to look at the five warships below the city of Macau, with a disdainful smile on his face.

"The other warships obeyed the order, loaded all the shells, and fought for a round of bombardment to eliminate the five warships of the barbarians, and then surrounded and attacked the city wall of Macau from three sides."

"Yes"

Macau was originally just a small island with no defensive power, but after the Portuguese took over, they not only built city walls but also built forts.

They did this to defend against the islands, but in fact, they were preventing Daming from suddenly expelling them.

Seeing that the Ming warship was about to enter the range of their guns, Juan was ready to give the order to fire.

But it was discovered that the Ming battleship suddenly stopped outside the range of their artillery, and began to turn the rudder slowly.

"What kind of mystery are these bright people doing? If they have the ability to advance 200 meters, let you see how powerful our naval guns are."

But before he finished speaking, his expression changed.

"God……"

It turned out that he found that there were many large holes suddenly appeared on the side of the hull of six warships, and then countless black hole muzzles protruded from the large holes.

Now Hu Anbai understands that it's not that the Ming battleship has only one cannon, but that the cannons are all hidden on the side of the ship, and the cannon holes are so well hidden that they can't be seen from the surface at all.

The guns of Portuguese battleships are on the two strings of the two battleships, and the muzzles can be clearly seen.

"Boom bang..."

Suddenly he found that the Ming Fleet started firing, and black shells flew towards them.

Juan visually measured the distance between the warships of the two countries, but he shook his head:

"It's impossible to hit at such a long distance. The commander of the Ming Fleet must be a novice."

But before he finished speaking, shells suddenly bombarded their battleship.

A huge solid bullet jumped on the battleship, killing a dozen Portuguese sailors immediately, and the battleship was shaken violently.

The Portuguese sailors on the five warships panicked and lit their artillery one after another.

The artillery shells here have just been bombarded, and more than 20 flowering shells bombarded the Portuguese battleship.

"Boom bang..."

So many flower bombs exploded, killing a dozen more on the spot and injuring dozens of others.

However, all the artillery shells bombarded by Portugal fell into the return water, and they could not hit the warships of the Ming army at all, and the range was not at the same level at all.

The Portuguese sail warships are all made of wood, how could they block the bombardment of the Ming Dynasty's heavy artillery, and soon some warships began to leak.

"Hurry up and fire..."

"Boom bang..."

Juan desperately yelled to fire, but the Ming warships were all moored beyond the range of their naval guns.

The shells bombarded by the Portuguese naval guns fell into the sea one after another, causing no harm to the warships and soldiers of the Ming army.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, but he couldn't beat the Ming army at all.

Juan's eyes were red, and he screamed anxiously:

"Hurry up, rush over, you must rush within the range of our naval guns to bombard the Ming army, otherwise we will all become targets."

"Yes"

Five Portuguese sailing warships immediately sailed towards the Ming warships.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the iron-clad battleship and kept watching the movement of the Portuguese warship.

Seeing them rushing over, Zheng Chenggong smiled coldly and immediately sent an order:

"Hongwu, Hanwu, Guangwu, and Wendi spread out their wings.

The Yongle, the First Emperor, rushed to sink the Portuguese battleship immediately. "

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and the smokestacks of the six battleships immediately emitted billowing smoke, forming a fan shape to quickly meet them.

"The bow heavy artillery fires!"

"Rumble..."

The bow heavy artillery of the six warships fired at the Portuguese sailing warship together.

Six shells came out of the chamber and bombarded the sailing warship at a very high speed.

Among them, three solid bullets bombarded the sailing warship fiercely, and the sawdust of the sailing warship was immediately hit, and the sailing warship shook violently.

Then another shell bombarded the deck of the sailing warship.

The 84-pound solid bullet instantly penetrated the two decks with huge inertia.

There were more than a dozen casualties, and the battleship began to leak water. It was obvious that shells penetrated the hull.

The Ming warships bombarded the Portuguese sailing warships continuously, but Juan could only stare blankly and had no choice.

Only then did he realize that he had made a big mistake, which could be fatal.

Their naval guns are on both sides, and the largest caliber is only 32 pounds. They cannot fire at all when they charge forward.

However, the capital of Ming warships has heavy artillery, although there is only one, but it is an 84-pound heavy artillery. If it is bombarded below the waterline, it will soon sink the warship.

The distance between the fleets of the two countries is getting closer and closer, and one of the five Portuguese warships has been sunk when they are within range.

"Quick, turn the rudder and fire."

Finally, the warship of the Ming army entered the range of the Portuguese warship, and Juan immediately sent an order to turn the rudder and fire.

He also had no choice, the naval guns were on both sides, and he couldn't fire without turning the rudder.

However, the rudder was finally turned successfully, and before the guns could be fired, the warships of the Ming army had already bombarded the Portuguese sailing warships from three directions.

62 naval guns bombarded the Portuguese tall wooden warships frantically.

"Rumble..."

"Crack..."

The hit rate in the front was not high, and as the sailing warships turned their rudders, their tall warships were completely exposed to the Ming army's naval guns.

After a fat beating, the Portuguese sailing warship was riddled with holes, and two more warships were sunk.

The Portuguese shells finally bombarded the iron-clad battleship of the Ming army, but their shells could only leave a white spot on the iron-clad battleship's hull, and could not hurt the iron-clad battleship at all.

"God, their warships are all real iron-clad warships, there is no way to fight this battle, retreat quickly..."

In a fit of exasperation, Juan gave the order to retreat, or rather to flee.

"Rumble..."

"Boom bang..."

Before Juan finished speaking, two flower bombs exploded beside him...
