Chapter 568

In the eyes of the subordinates on the ship, their Lord Earl did not disappoint them.

The warships behind were sunk one by one, but no matter how the Ming army's artillery bombarded them, they just couldn't hit their ship.

It seems that even fate is favoring them.

Until they had only one warship left on their side, the artillery of the First Fleet stopped completely.

Armando's boat has been driving forward for three or four miles, and there is no movement behind, which makes him more relieved.

"Keep speed, don't relax! The Ming army has no shells!"

Armando yelled to cheer up the sailors on board, and the First Fleet behind him really gave him face.During the next ten miles of the voyage, not a single shell was fired.

At this time, only a dozen miles away from the port of Veracruz, the largest port on the Gulf of Mexico at this time, the buildings on the coastline were already visible in the distance, and the passing ships became denser.

The passing ships could see that one was chasing and the other was fleeing. Some ships approached this side curiously, as if they wanted to get closer and find out.Of course, most of them have the mentality of watching the excitement.

Armando, on the other hand, was eager to bring disaster to the east, and someone could share the pressure of the Ming army for him, so he didn't mean to remind him at all.

"Master, there is an unknown ship approaching, do you want to fight?"

"beat!"

Xie Xuelong also saw it through the binoculars. It's about this time. What can I say?

From the map, they have already entered the largest port close to the Gulf of Mexico. Now that they have arrived at a place full of red-haired ghosts, there is no need to worry about it, just do it!

Turn him upside down, and let the red-haired ghosts taste the power of the artillery of the First Fleet!
Ever since, the first approaching ship received two shells from the First Fleet, one hitting the bow and the other hitting the stern.After rising two wisps of black smoke, it slowly sank.

Although, he is just a curious merchant ship.

This scene shocked everyone in this sea area.

No one could have imagined that, so close to the port, someone fired and sank a passing merchant ship.

As a result, the atmosphere on the sea immediately became tense. Ships without combat capabilities fled in a panic, and warships with combat capabilities also began to enter a state of combat readiness.

At the port in the distance, a warning whistle was blown.

Seeing the chaos in this sea area, Armando was also afraid for a while.

It's not that the Ming army has no shells, but it has never killed itself!

If you think about it carefully, if they really don't have shells, how dare they chase themselves all the way to the port of Veracruz?
No matter how powerful a warship is, wouldn't it still be a fart without shells?

Thinking of this, Armando felt lucky again. They had shells and didn't shoot at themselves, there must be some intentions.

Although I don't know what the specific intention is, didn't I skip a catastrophe?
As long as I can land smoothly and go home alive, even if they sink all the ships in the port, it's none of my business?

So although he caused the chaos here, he didn't care one bit.

No one even cared about his own life, and he was sent to the Ming people to die, so he still has the mood to take care of others?

Pull it down.

Whoever you love is dead!
As a result, a very strange scene appeared in this sea area.

Armando's warship fled desperately, and the First Fleet chased after it unhurriedly, and the ships that were close along the way gave way to both sides.Only the port fleet, which is full of guarding responsibilities, is in full swing before the war.

In fact, they had expected this.During the time when the First Fleet was docked in the bay, they made full preparations for fear that the First Fleet would launch a surprise attack on the port.

But Armando just left with the fleet in the morning, saying that he was going to find out, but he didn't expect that in less than a day, he would call at his door.

Fortunately, their reaction was fairly quick, and more than a dozen warships formed a formation and inserted obliquely from the northwest.

"Master, there are more than a dozen ships coming from the northwest, do you want to fight?"

"Wait until they're within range."

"Why is that?" Lu Shiyan asked in confusion.

"It's accurate, they can't run if they get close!"

"Hahaha! High regards, Supervisor!"

The so-called skillful people are bold, and they are not afraid of being hit when the boat is strong.The small shell hit the battleship of the First Fleet, which was almost like scratching an itch.

So these dozens of warships came to the front of the First Fleet aggressively, and Armando was a little surprised even watching the movement behind him.

Could it be that there were really no shells on the warships of the Ming army?Why don't you shoot?
impossible.

How dare you chase so deep without shells?

Just thinking about it, the Spanish side fired first.The artillery on more than a dozen warships roared at the same time, and a total of two to three hundred shells were thrown towards the First Fleet almost at the same time.

"Drink! Good guy! Get hidden!" Seeing this posture, Lu Shiyan hurriedly yelled.

In fact, without him having to speak, everyone was already doing what they were supposed to do.

Because the opponent's firing action was too obvious, he turned around first, pointed the hull in the direction of the target, and then fired.

With this kung fu, the people on board had already hidden themselves.

Although the Spanish shells could not sink the warships of the First Fleet, it was easy and enjoyable to kill the people on board no matter what.

Most of the two to three hundred shells landed on the sea surface, and a small part hit the battleship, rattling, but did not cause much damage.

After firing the first shot, they began to turn the bow of the ship again, and it seemed to fire another wave from another direction.

"Fire! Don't hold back!"

Lu Shiyan yelled into the walkie-talkie, it's already this time, what else is there to be polite?Just do it!

So the nine warships started shooting at the Spanish fleet in no particular order.

For a time, the deafening gunfire on the sea continued.

Then, there was the sound of the explosion of the shell hitting, and what followed was a billowing black smoke!
Then, there were faint screams and cries.

Yes, it was crying.

The soldiers on board who had never seen the First Fleet were almost scared to pee.

What kind of boat is it with them?What cannon?

Why is his mother so powerful! ?

But these questions, they seem to have no answers.

When the Spanish fleet finally turned the bow of the ship, there were still six of the dozen warships that could continue to fight, and two of them had their masts broken.

The commander of the fleet was unlucky and died in the first round of shelling just now.

So this unmanned fleet looks very pitiful at the moment, and the artillery fire fired at the First Fleet is also sparse, without any lethality at all.

But the gunners of the First Fleet don't care whether they have someone in command, which is not pitiful.Just aim without sinking them all.

The battle was short, not even as long as the ship slowly sinking.

When everything returned to calm, there was already a mess on the sea.

Only some broken planks are still floating on the sea.

Some were on fire, and some were lying on their stomachs.
