The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

James finally left. Although he was still extremely reluctant, with Governor Skeena's guarantee, he felt a little more confident.

But he didn't dare to go alone to monitor the Ming warships, so when he was about to go to sea, he roped in four other cruisers to act together, not for anything else but to be brave.

Soon five warships flying the Portuguese flag set sail, but as soon as they left the port, they encountered the Taishan Huashan Second Ship, which was almost arriving at its destination.

Looking at the two Ming Navy warships not far away, James felt a little nervous. Just when he was thinking about how to communicate with each other, shouts came from the Taishan.

"The five Portuguese warships on the opposite side have illegally entered our territorial waters of Ming Dynasty. In order to avoid misjudgment and unnecessary casualties, you must stop your ships and surrender immediately!"

"The five Portuguese warships on the other side are illegal..."

Hearing this bilingual call in Chinese and Portuguese, the officers and soldiers on the five Portuguese warships were stunned.

We just met and you didn’t say a word, but you want us to surrender?Is this reasonable?

Moreover, they have been sailing freely in this sea area for more than 100 years. How come they are trespassing illegally now?

At this moment, except for the officers and soldiers on the Pelayo, the officers and soldiers on the other four Portuguese warships were all filled with indignation, and they all shouted that they wanted to teach these two arrogant Ming warships a lesson.

The officers and soldiers on the Pelayo looked at their companions around them with anxious eyes.

The Ming army is too strong, which is not a good sign.

And what should they do now?

They agreed to monitor the Ming warships, but no one told them that they would encounter such a situation!

"Sir, what should we do?"

A soldier asked James anxiously.

But James was also very panicked under such circumstances!

or?surrender?

James, who had witnessed the naval battle two days ago, really couldn't afford to have any intention of fighting the Ming army.

James and the officers and soldiers on the Pelayo had seen the terror of the Ming army, so they never thought of resisting from beginning to end.

But they had never seen the Portuguese on the other warships that they drew to embolden them.

Although they also knew that if there was a firefight with the Ming army, their final end would definitely not be good-looking, but the Ming army's aggressive shouting still made many people feel angry.

It's really too bullying!

"These damn Ming people actually despise our Portuguese Royal Navy so much!"

On the small cruiser Skylark, Captain Bernal's eyes were filled with blazing fireworks.

Portugal is one of the most powerful countries in Europe. As a pioneer in the Age of Discovery, our ancestors were also very generous.

Now, with the support of the huge fleet behind them, these Ming people dared to shout in front of them with just two warships. If it had been in front of him, he would have ordered to fire.

However, he has not lost his mind yet.

"Communications officer, tell those damn Ming people that this is public waters and we have the right to navigate freely!"

"Huh, free sailing?"

On the Taishan ship, Jia Wenxuan had a sneer on his lips.

Times have changed, redheads!

"Main gun No. [-], aim at the mainmast of the warship that just shouted. Tell the gunner that if you hit the Japanese wife I sent him, if you don't hit, don't eat tonight's meal."

Jia Wenxuan turned his head and ordered.

Of course, he didn't really expect the gunners to hit the mast of the Portuguese cruiser.

The two ships are now 400 meters apart. At this distance, if he wants to hit a mast with a diameter of 20 centimeters with artillery, the chance of winning a lottery ticket is not much greater. All he wants is a warning effect.

As for dinner?He knew that many people on the ship had saved the various cans that were usually distributed, and then waited for the ship to dock to convert these things into money. They would not starve to death without a meal.

But sometimes things are so magical.

Originally, no one believed that they could hit the opponent's mast, including the gunner himself.

But after the sound of a cannon, the mainmast of the Skylark cruiser in the distance suddenly exploded with countless wood chips, and then broke off and fell down. Along with a series of cables, people on the Skylark's deck were swept away.

Fortunately, this shell was a training shell, otherwise the deck of the Skylark would have been full of casualties at this moment.

"Well, sir, it seems you have to marry a Japanese wife."

Seeing this situation, someone said jokingly.

Why do you expect me to hook up with a Japanese wife?

Jia Wenxuan felt something was wrong when he heard this. He was about to refute, but at this moment, a cannon shot was heard from the Skylark on the opposite side.

The other side actually counterattacked!

Then there was a bang, and the opponent actually hit!

Although the solid iron ball of this 6-pound cannon had no impact at all except making a small crater in the hull of the Taishan, the nature of the attack was different when the opponent counterattacked.

At this moment, Jia Wenxuan had selectively forgotten that he had ordered the firing first. He pointed at the Skylark in the distance and shouted loudly:

"How dare you attack our Ming Dynasty Royal Navy! Destroy it for me!"

Bernal, the captain of the Skylark, was about to cry as he looked at the shell that hit the Ming warship.

He didn't want to fight back!

He knew that Ming warships all used blooming shells. The shell that just hit the mast did not explode, indicating that the other party just wanted to give them a warning.

But why did Leng Touqing fire a counterattack on his own ship?

But now that the cannons were fired, war was unavoidable, so he could only bite the bullet and order:

"You idiots! Move quickly and fire immediately, let these damn Ming people see how powerful our Portuguese Royal Navy is!"

When this order was given, Bernal was ready to run.

After sinking these two arrogant Ming army warships, the Ming army will definitely retaliate wildly, and those who stay will definitely die.

As for the Ming army's revenge on Macau, he could only say sorry. If he wanted to blame it, he could only blame the soldier who fired the cannon.

Bernal never thought about whether he could win or not.

In his eyes, his own side has five warships and the Ming army has only two.

How could it be impossible to defeat our own ship at such a close range with so many cannons?

Then, he knew that he really couldn't beat this...

The Taishan and Huashan ships launched the attack one step ahead of the Skylark.

Since both ships are facing the enemy from the bow and at some angles, only the two 3mm main guns on the bow and the port side main gun No. 130 can be used in the first round of attack, plus two 2mm machine guns. The attack firepower is not too strong.

But even this kind of firepower is not something the Skylark can withstand.

"Boom boom boom..."

At a distance of 400 meters, all four 130mm shells fired by the two ships hit the Skylark.

In an instant, the Skylark's fire flickered, sawdust flew, and even a 12-pound deck gun weighing hundreds of kilograms was lifted into the air by the explosion.

But this was not over yet. Before the fireworks of the explosion dissipated, dense 37mm artillery shells were already hitting them.

In an instant, plasma exploded and severed limbs flew everywhere.

"Oh, God!"

Bernal was stunned by what he saw.

Are they being attacked by two battleships?

Let alone sinking the opponent now, our own survival time has already entered the countdown.

This time Bernal did not guess wrong. After a round of main gun smashed the Skylark into half a wreck, the second ship Taishan Huashan quickly completed the turn.

Subsequently, all 14 main guns on the sides of the two ships opened fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the deafening explosions, the Portuguese cruiser Lark was engulfed in rising flames and smoke.
