Daming Military Empire

Chapter 639 Superior skills, great powers lost

The cold wind was howling and the waves were rolling. On the Atlantic Ocean about a thousand miles south of the Strait of Gibraltar, a fleet of 150 super battleships was slowly heading north. Van Mendy was very excited standing on the bow of the flagship.

According to the detection report from the secret sentry ship in front, the Ming army fleet did not find any abnormality, and it was still heading south. Calculating the time, it will encounter it in about an hour.

It has been more than a day since the fleet of the Ming army left Hong Kong, and it is impossible to turn back, and the ambush of the allies is really an ambush from all directions.

Due north is the fleet of Sweden;
To the northwest is the fleet of Denmark;
To the west and southwest is the British fleet;

To the south and southeast is the fleet of Holland;

To the east and northeast is the fleet of France;

Eight fleets, each with 150 super battleships, add up to 1000 or two hundred super battleships!
And the number of warships of the Ming army has been ascertained. There are only [-] super battleships and four giant treasure ships in total. Facing an allied fleet that is twice as large in number, as long as they are surrounded, they will definitely not be able to escape.

The preset battlefield is ahead, and Fan Mendi can't help but raise the binoculars frequently, looking forward, and there is no abnormality so far, the Ming army fleet should be set this time.

Hurry up, hurry up, he kept shouting in his heart, his hands holding the binoculars even trembled a little, this time the main force of the Ming Empire Navy was encircled and suppressed, as long as he succeeds, Fan Mendi will be included in the In the annals of history, become a world-renowned naval battle star!

And just a few years ago, when he had just escaped from the Far East, the parliament was even discussing that he should be labeled as "a wasteful governor" and "a frequently defeated general" and then executed. Fortunately, his popularity is not bad. In the end, he was only sentenced to life imprisonment.

To his surprise, he was released again more than a year ago, and his rank of admiral was restored, and he even became the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces!
I have to say that his luck is really against the sky, because the anti-Habsburg alliance wants to vigorously develop the navy, and at this time, let alone commanding thousands of super battleships, the generals who have commanded hundreds of super battleships are very good. Not much, and he also has an advantage, that is, he has commanded the fleet to fight against the Daming Empire Navy many times. Although he was defeated in the end, he has fought against the Daming Empire Navy after all. Compared with those who have never seen the Daming Empire Navy I don't know how many times stronger the general is, so he, the defeated general, was elected as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, and no one objected to it!

Fan Mendi is really impatient at the moment, this time, he must take the main force of the Ming Empire Navy in one pot, and he will be ashamed!
Looking forward, looking forward, a row of black spots finally appeared on the sea in front of him. He quickly raised his binoculars to see that it was a warship, and indeed it was a warship of the Ming Empire. Because that's what the scouting report said, the fleet of the Ming Empire was very scattered, and the distance between the queues was more than ten miles. Isn't that the sparse battleship group in front of them?

Finally caught, Fan Mendi shouted excitedly: "Order, all warships, move forward at full speed, and the left and right naval guns are all loaded with solid ammunition, ready to fire."

Looking at the warships of the Ming army that slowly became clear in the telescope, Fan Mendi's excited face was deformed, victory, victory, the Ming army has entered the encirclement, one thousand and two against six hundred, no matter how powerful they are Gotta get down.

At this time, the fleet of the Ming army seemed to have spotted them too, and something happened that stunned Fan Mendi. The warships of the Ming army actually started to turn around, and they turned around in a chaotic way, some turned left, some turned right, as if they were not at all. There is no command, the whole formation is completely messed up!

The Ming Empire actually sent such an idiot commander, okay, Fan Mendi blushed with excitement.

Seeing the warships of the Ming army turn around in a mess, it is impossible to attack with the naval guns on both sides, because everyone's speed is about the same, and the Ming army turned around a few miles away. It is very difficult for them to catch up.

However, it doesn't matter, all directions to the west are the Allied fleet, the Ming army can't run away, the guns on the left and right ships can't reach it, but the cannons on the bow can still reach it, Fan Mendi shouted excitedly: "Order, all Battleship, bow cannon loaded with solid rounds, ready to fire."

After all, he stepped aside from the middle position and stood on the right side of the bow cannon. If he wanted to stand in the middle again, his ass would be blown apart by the bow cannon.

Is the Ming army really in such a mess?In fact, these are all illusions. If Fan Mendi can stand in the sky and have a panoramic view of the actions of the entire fleet of the Ming army, he will find that all the warships of the Ming army are gathering in one direction. The first three rears, in the shape of arrows, are accelerating towards the Swedish fleet due north.

Zheng Chenggong stood calmly on the podium in the middle of the giant treasure ship, and calmly ordered: "Order all the bow guns of the giant treasure ships to load solid bullets, and the guns on both sides of all super battleships to load solid bullets. Dash through the middle of the ship."

The enemy's fleet is not as scattered as it was at the beginning of the battleships of the Ming army. If the enemy ships do not evade, they will definitely crash into a pile. Isn't it a bit risky to do so?
Soon, the enemy ship entered the range of the [-]-inch cannon, and Zheng Chenggong shouted directly: "All the giant treasure ships, fire the giant cannon at the bow, and bombard it for five consecutive rounds with solid bullets."

"Boom boom boom" With a loud noise that shook the sky, the huge treasure ship shook a few times, and more than a dozen shells the size of washbasins flew towards the enemy ship ahead like meteorites falling from the sky.

The commander of the Swedish fleet was ordering someone to load the shells. Suddenly there was a huge roar in front of him. He subconsciously thought that the enemy commander was sick. Obviously, the distance was still five or six miles away. Damn it!

However, there were several loud bangs, and several warships in the two rows in the middle of the fleet were shot!

How is this possible, he quickly raised his binoculars and looked at the shot warship, my God, was this shot by a shell?

The sawdust of the warship that was shot flew across, and there was a huge hole as high as a person at the place where the bullet was shot. The battleship had already begun to tilt slowly, and it was about to sink to the bottom of the sea!
One shell sank a super battleship!The Swedish commander was dumbfounded. What kind of cannon is the Ming army, a ten-inch cannon?
He really guessed right. The super battleships of the Ming army were loaded with [-]-inch cannons, and there were not one but six cannons, three at the front and back.

"Boom boom boom" Not long after, the giant treasure ship opened fire again, and several super battleships were bombarded with sawdust, tilting and sinking.

How to fight this, Ming army warships have not yet entered the range, he has already lost a dozen super battleships!
