Chapter 749:The Great Ming Empire is Not to be Trifled With

Zheng Zhilong held up his telescope to look at the rare super battleship and dozens of old armed merchant ships in front of the strait, and his face could not help but show a contemptuous smile, so the strength should dare to be so rampant, and his brain was sick!

He disdainfully ordered: "flag the flag, let them go away, or we will not be polite."

The flag bearer behind him played a few flag words on the lookout, and then the flag bearer on the lookout began to repeat the two flags: "Let go, or fire!"

At this time, the commander of the British warships, Lieutenant General Alexander, was really a little pressure, because he was not the commander of the operation, their boss, the Duke of Cromwell, was not here at all, and he had no right to decide not to let go!

Looking at the long dragon composed of two giant ships on thecoming, he did not know that his fleet was certainly not an opponent of the people, because his fleet could not see the head at all, that is to say, such a giant ship had at least a hundred ships, and his five super battleships could not have done hundreds of such giant ships even if they were fiercer.

He paused for a moment before shouting, "Quick, flag, please stop them, we ask for a dialogue."

Zheng Zhilong saw the other side of the flag, did not leave the mouth, then ordered: "Order, flagship and 101 ship, the main gun and auxiliary gun aimed at the front of the armed merchant ships directly in front of the gunner, all the warships are ready to side side side salve."

A wave of the flag, the two Weiyuan battleships in the front of the front suddenly opened fire, "bombing" a burst of artillery roar, blocking the middle of the entrance of the strait around the armed merchant ships splashed six flood pillars.

Not hit!

Zheng Zhilong frowned and then shouted: "Target point, bombard, sink."

Not long after, the two Weiyuan battleships in the front row fired again, and this time, a shell bombarded the armed merchant ship, and a wave of wood debris flew, and a huge hole appeared on the side of the armed merchant ship.

Now Alexander was really blind, he did not expect people to say that they would open fire, there was no room for discussion, after the first round of shelling, he was still considering whether to let go, the general battleship capital is three artillery pieces, six shells bombed out, he thought the other side at least a few minutes before firing again, so he was anxious to issue orders.

Unexpectedly, he hesitated, and people opened fire again.

What a loading speed!

He had not yet encountered the Ming Army's warships, naturally did not know that they could shoot five rounds in a row, but two rounds of continuous shooting had frightened him, and this loading speed was too terrible, and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, order all warships and armed merchant ships to give way."

Sadly, it was late.

His side of the flag bearer put the order out, all the warships and armed merchant ships before it had time to adjust the sails, opposite the opposite is a round of shelling, and now, the armed merchant ship in the middle of the two bullets, the deck has been smashed through, there is also a large hole near the side of the water line, the sea surged in, the hull soon tend to one side, slowly sinking down.

At this time, many Weiyuan battleships have been replaced with five thousand pounds of main guns, the guy, a cannonball down, enough to smash a half-sized hole, and the attack on the side of the armed merchant ship is the main gun of the Weiyuan battleship, this armed merchant ship is not strange.

Reasonable, no reason!

Alexander looked at the slowly sinking armed merchant ships, and did not know how to be good, to fight back?

He looked at the enemy's fleet again, and he could not see his head at this time, and it is estimated that there were more than a hundred super warships!

He was still hesitating, Zheng Zhilong did not hesitate, the flagship took the lead, and soon rushed to the entrance of the strait, the side of the gun has been able to bombard the enemy warships and armed merchant ships, he did not hesitate to order: "left side of the ship starboard saloon, the right side of the ship starboard saloon, in turn bombarded, each warship salaried three rounds!"

"Bombing", with his order, the first row of flagships and 101st warships at the same time roar, more than a hundred shells rained on both sides.

The entrance to the strait was less than ten miles in total, and all the English warships and armed merchant ships were within the range of the Weiyuan battleships, and this round of shelling, at least a dozen warships and armed merchant ships were shot, and the water column provoked on both sides blocked the human line of sight.

Alexander had not yet returned to God, and then the second row of two Weiyuan battleships opened fire again, and more than a hundred shells were smashed, "cry" a loud noise, and his flagship was shot!

He looked back at the huge hole in the deck, and suddenly he was blind, and the guns on his side were all guns above the kilogram, which was still a bullshit!

He yelled, "Hail, hurry, and order all the warships and armed merchant ships to retreat on both sides."

Sadly, it was too late.

After all, the sailing ship is not a ship, whether it is steering or starting to accelerate, the speed of the Weiyuan battleship is amazing, where they can withdraw.

"Hang bombardment", another burst of artillery roar, do not know whether the first row of Weiyuan battleship fired the second round of shells, or the third row of Weiyuan battleships fired the first round of shells, another hundred rounds of shells smashed on both sides, a burst of wood crumbs flying, and do not know how many warships and armed merchant ships were shot.

Then, the roar of the artillery sounded in succession, and it became more and more dense, and the huge shells poured madly, almost no gap, countless water pillars rose up, and the whole strait was like a rainstorm on both sides, and the water was splashed everywhere, and everyone was blurred in front of them.

The roar of the molest artillery lasted for nearly half an hour, and by the time the two hundred Wei's battleships had crossed the entrance of the strait, the British warships and armed merchant ships on both sides had lost their tracks, and the sea was full of floating debris and fallen British soldiers.

Zhang Bin scanned the sea ahead with a telescope, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Order, all light iron armor ships to salvage captives."

A wave of the flag flying, the outer light iron armored ships roared and dispersed, quickly rushed to both sides of the entrance of the strait, the ship's Ming army soldiers like a horse, waving the rope ring, the British soldiers in the water one by one, quickly pulled on the ship.

These British soldiers were bombed, and the souls who were almost scared of being killed by the shells were lost, and they dared to resist, so they let the soldiers hold it, pull on the boat, tie the strictness, and there is no struggle!

Alexander also got lucky not to be killed by a shell, he looked at the hundreds of warships that came up behind him, and his eyes were almost glaring out, where did he come from in the fleet, so many terrible giant ships, this is to sweep the continent!

Zhang Bin, of course, does not want to sweep the continent, he just wants to warn the European powers through this move, the Daming Empire is not good, you are best to light up a little, do not provoke the Ming Empire, otherwise, it will face the disaster!
