I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

To say they are an army is actually more like a group of unorganized and undisciplined bandits.

The army side is better, but the navy side is completely like a pirate.

When there are orders, they are a serious army of the kingdom. Without orders, they are a bunch of pirates.

Robbery and killing and the king's order are almost equal in their hearts. If the two are in conflict and there is enough interest, they will ignore the king's order.

If you can make money, the king is nothing.

On the other side, as Zheng He's boat slowed down, the surrounding boats also slowly slowed down.

"My lord, brothers can't go back. If you have a chance, go to our house and see our parents!"

There is no reluctance, no determination to leave.

The shirtless man asked Zheng He, who had a broken arm, to be sent to the lifeboat, and decided to take the brothers of the whole ship to buy time for the main fleet.

Zheng He's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded heavily as he looked at all the crew members standing on the cabin who were ready for battle.

"I, Zheng He, owe you all in this life, and I will repay you brothers in my next life!"

"Your family, please don't worry, as long as I, Zheng He, are alive, whoever dares to bully them, I will fight him to the end if I survive this life!"

"salute!"

All the crew members stood at attention and raised their hands to beat their chests. They looked straight at Zheng He and the commander who brought their wishes and thoughts home, and blessed him with peace in their hearts.

As the lifeboat was slowly lowered, Zheng He's figure disappeared over the ship's side.

"Brothers, prepare to fight!"

The shirtless man removed the obstructing gauze on his arm, pulled out a big knife, and was ready to fight.

The rest of the crew occupied various positions, those who drew the bow and those who loaded the crossbow, silently watching the other warships speeding up around them.

On the other boats, except for the rowing boatmen, everyone stood on the deck and saluted and said goodbye to the brothers who bought time for them.

Soon, the materials brought by Zheng He came to another ship.He endured the tearing pain in his heart, and ordered the other warships to speed up.

"Brothers, turn around, let's rush up!"

When the fleet gradually moved away, the shirtless man turned around, looked at the enemy who was less than a nautical mile behind him, ignored the roaring artillery, and ordered to turn around and go directly to meet them.

"Hehe, cut off the tail to survive!"

Looking at the warship turning to meet him, the bearded captain sneered and ordered loudly.

"Let the Conch and the Shark finish this guy, and the others will continue to chase me, trying to end this boring hunt before dark."

The bearded white man has no patience, he misses his wife and children at home, and misses his fair-skinned and beautiful lover even more.

I have been away for so long, and I don't know what is going on at home.

When he set out some time ago, he felt that his lover was not looking right at the black slaves under his command.He decided to go home as soon as possible, but he didn't want to wear a dark hat just because he had been away for a while.

The two battleships that received the order rushed forward at full speed.

Since neither side has artillery, the attack method is still the original ballista and bow and arrow kerosene.

The battle broke out at a distance of [-] meters between the two sides.

The warship of the Ming army was the first to attack. On the top of the cabin, the three-bow bed crossbow, under the control of the shooter, fired a rocket with the thickness of an arm.

The three-bow crossbow invented in the Song Dynasty can shoot more than 1500 meters.

In the era without artillery, in addition to the catapult, the three-bow bed crossbow was a weapon for siege and defense.

Before the Ming fleet was equipped with artillery, the main heavy-duty weapon on board was the three-bow bed crossbow.

With a whistling sound, the huge arrow with the thickness of an arm fell and landed heavily on the enemy's ship.

The flame carried by the arrow is also slowly burning the enemy's warship.

"Asshole, fight back!"

The captain of the Conch, who was attacked, saw his beloved baby was injured, cursed angrily, and quickly ordered to fight back.

Soon, the three arrows were lost in the air and flying randomly, and the muffled groans and screams when the arrows were hit could be heard from time to time on the three warships.

In the era of sailing warships without artillery, the way of naval warfare was very simple.

Either use a flame weapon to ignite the opponent from a long distance, or the two sides will fight close to each other, or hit the boat directly if it is not an emergency.

As the three sides got closer, bows and crossbows also joined the battle.

Relying on the advantage of the height of the ship, Daming continued to shoot and kill the approaching western crew members from a high position.

It's a pity that they were outnumbered in the end. Even though the soldiers shot arrows desperately, the ships from the three parties still collided.

"Katcha Kacha Kacha..."

As the oars hit and broke, rope hooks and ladders were built up one by one.

"kill!"

The shirtless man was alone in front, and with a sharp slash of the big knife in his hand, a guy who was swinging by with the help of a sail was split in half.

"Brothers, let me kill you. If you kill one, you will earn money. If you kill two, you will earn one!"

"kill!"

The shirtless man gave an order, and the close-combat soldiers who hid behind various shelters and avoided the enemy's arrow rain rushed up with a roar, and met the grape man who climbed up.

The two sides fought together in an instant.

The melee soldiers on both sides of the deck fought desperately, and the archers in the attic above the deck also endured the soreness of their arms, and kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows, shooting and killing the enemies on the opposite side.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Suddenly, bursts of rolling thunder came from the east and reached the ears of the two sides who were fighting.

The shirtless man cut off the head of a white man on the opposite side, moved his ears, and looked in the direction of the sound.

A small black spot in the distance approached this side, and faintly saw bursts of gunpowder smoke rising.

"It's the sound of artillery!"

"The enemy's artillery seems to be two or three, this movement is not quite like it!"

After cutting down an enemy again, a trace of doubt flashed in the man's heart.

Although I couldn't figure out why there were so many artillery sounds suddenly, but at this time they were fighting desperately, and the man couldn't care about other things, so he could only continue to fight with the enemy.

"Reinforcements...it's reinforcements, Lutou, it's our people who came!"

Just after the man chopped down a few more enemies, excited shouts suddenly sounded from the attic of the battleship.

"puff!"

But before the man turned his head to look, the shouting Ming army soldier was shot by an arrow and fell to the ground. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The man didn't care about being sad, thinking about what the soldier said just now, he got rid of the enemy who was entangled with him, and rushed to the attic under the cover of several soldiers.

Picking up the binoculars of the dead observer, the man quickly looked at the faintly visible black spots in the distance.

The fleet that just left has returned, but their numbers have changed.

At the front of the fleet, eight huge battleships with Ming characters flags, leading the battleships of Zheng He and others, are moving forward quickly, chasing the fleeing Portuguese fleet ahead.

Looking at the battle flag with bright characters bordered in white, the eyes of the man who was fearless in the face of death turned red.

It is the navy, the navy of Ming Dynasty.

When they left, the navy had just formed a formation, and he should have been one of them, but was later sent to Lord Zheng He by His Highness, and continued to sail to the west with him.

Although he did not join the navy, he still remembered the navy battle flag with a white border in his heart.

"We have reinforcements!"

Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and the man's voice was a little choked up.

Then he brandished a big knife, jumped down from the attic, and roared loudly at the soldiers of the Ming army who were already a little bit unable to support themselves.

"Brothers, our reinforcements are here, our Daming Navy is here, we can survive. Kill all these bastards, and don't let those old brothers in the navy watch our jokes and kill me!"

The soldiers of the Ming army, who were desperately resisting with their last strength, were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then roared excitedly.

Who wants to die if they can live.

Now that they have the hope of surviving, the despair that they thought they would be buried in the nameless sea was swept away by the dawn of hope in an instant.

"Brothers, kill them all. One of my buddies is in the navy. I don't want to be looked down upon by him. Let them all disperse. I want to kill 10 of them!"

Excited roars resounded on the deck, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who were almost exhausted, suddenly burst out with infinite power in their bodies.In an instant, he turned into a charging bison, waved the weapon in his hand, roared and rushed towards the white-skinned barbarian who was still climbing on the boat.

Chapter 256: Grape Man: Surrender is a fine tradition of our Westerners.

"What about this, did anyone kill us!"

"Killed our three brothers, Brother Six asked me to kill him!"

"Hehe, it's too cheap to kill him, we have something more fun."

In the sea area where the battle was fought just now, dozens of warships formed a circle and docked there.

On the deck of a battleship, a group of white-skinned pigs and black slaves knelt in a row tremblingly with their hands tied behind their backs.

Ming navy soldiers in navy uniforms, together with the crew of Zheng He's fleet, identified the murderers one by one.

Anyone who hurt the Ming army was tied up with heavy objects, bloodletted and thrown into the sea.

As for the rest, they will be taken back to Daming, where they will be interrogated by professional personnel to obtain information about the other country.

Of course, this does not include those commanders.

As a high-level person, the commander must know more, it would be a pity to kill him.

Although the crew hated these guys to the point of gnashing their teeth, this was an order given by Zheng He, and they did not dare to disobey it.

On the flagship of the Sixth Formation of the Navy.

Looking at the brand-new battleship and the cannons emitting a cold light, Zheng He felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

If he had brought this kind of fleet, he would not have been beaten so embarrassingly. Not to mention destroying the Portuguese country, it would be no problem to overturn their navy's blockade of the sea.

Zheng He felt that today was his lucky day.

When they speeded up and sailed towards Daming with grief, they directly bumped into the Sixth Formation of the Navy that was patrolling.

Both sides were stunned for a moment at first.

Zheng He couldn't figure out why he could encounter Ming's warships here.

If he remembered correctly, this place should be far, far away from Daming.

Zheng He was puzzled, and the opposite party was equally puzzled.

In the area of ​​the Three Kingdoms Sea, it seemed that they were the only one, the Ming Squadron, cruising.Where did the fleet of old battleships with the dilapidated flag of the Ming army come from?And it looks like he's still being hunted down.

What made them even more puzzled was that there were several Ming warships chasing after them.

Although the flag hanging on it is not Ming Dynasty's, but as the Ming Dynasty Navy, they can still recognize the old warships they once owned.

Although he was puzzled, the commander of the sixth formation still issued a warning order.

But as the two parties approached, they gradually saw each other's clothes through the telescope.

One side was wearing a very majestic Daming navy uniform, while the other side was dressed in some tatters, but it could still be seen that it was Daming's attire.

In addition, the other party's skin color is the same as their own, so both parties can temporarily confirm that the other party is a bright person.

As the two sides got closer, the sides in the telescope could be seen clearly.

The first to recognize the opponent was the commander of the sixth formation of the navy.

He used to be the captain of one of Zheng He's warships, so he recognized Zheng He at a glance.

When he saw his former immediate boss now in a mess, the commander's heart boiled with anger.

In his life, there were only two people he admired most.

The first one is to bring the supreme glory to their navy His Royal Highness Taisun.

The second one is Zheng He, who went to the west to spread Ming Dynasty's fame.

One of the people he admired the most is now in such a mess, and it looks like he has a broken arm, how can he not be angry.
