Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 600 Victory in the First Battle
If it was a future generation who used this kind of intensive torpedoes to attack unsuspecting enemy ships, basically after this wave of attacks, the battle would be over.

But this is ancient times after all, limited by the craftsmanship, the bamboo tube cannot be filled with too much gunpowder, and the explosive power of the gunpowder is far from the ideal effect.

However, it cannot be said that this thing is useless, at least it can deter the enemy psychologically.

"Boom, boom"

Explosions one after another soon sounded around the Spanish warships. Although they did not cause much damage to Spain, some ships still caught fire beside the sides.

Captain Jack was taken aback immediately. He was only concerned with guarding against the Ming army's artillery, but he didn't want the Ming army to have such a secret weapon.

"Quick! All warships retreat and leave the battle circle"

Jack's main ship also took a few hits. Although it didn't penetrate the hull, it really scared Jack. The reason why he let the battleship retreat was because the Ming army's warships were too dense and they also had the upper hand. This kind of battle formation is very unfavorable to their warships.

If he hadn't wanted to take the treasure ship as his own just now, Jack would not have taken the risk of driving the warship so close to the Ming warship.

I don't want to miss the treasure ship, but put my fleet in danger.

"These damn Ming Dynasty people are too dishonest, it's all because of you, a piece of trash!"

As Jack said, he quickly kicked Li Chaoran to the ground. If he didn't think that this person was still useful, he would have directly slashed his sword to the ground.

Just when the Spanish warship was about to leave the battlefield in panic, the artillery on the Ming army's warship began to show its power.

"Boom."

If there were no new artillery provided by the Liaodong Arsenal, the Ming Army artillery of this era would really not be an opponent of the Spaniards.

But there has never been an if in this world. Perhaps it can be said that if the Spaniards were not so greedy, they would not be where they are today.

"Boom."

The Spanish warships retreating in a panic also began to fight back, but due to the greed of the pig-headed leader, the Spanish warships at the downwind position were already in a disadvantageous position. In addition, during the movement, they could not effectively aim at all, so most of the shells fired fell on the up the sea.

The originally calm sea surface was soon shrouded in smoke with the sound of rumbling guns, and huge water columns rose up around the ships of both sides from time to time.

Most of the Spanish were pirates and had rich experience in maritime combat. They thought that as long as they got rid of the siege of Ming warships and reorganized their formation, they would still be unable to fight from time to time, despite the fact that there were too many Ming warships.

It's a pity that Tian Siqing is also from a family of pirates, and he is knowledgeable and talented. What he studies most is how to deal with the battleship of the red-haired ghost.

Standing on the deck, seeing the route of the Spanish warship gliding on the sea, I immediately guessed their intentions.

"Death Scythe!"

This is the formation that Tian Siqing led the fleet to practice the most. After the semaphore on the handsome ship was sent out, more than ten Ming warships immediately surrounded the Spanish warships in an arc, and they still seized the upper air.

Standing on his main battleship, Jack's heart sank when he saw the formation of Ming warships, knowing that he had encountered a strong enemy.

At this moment, among the dozen or so Spanish warships, three had already been shot and began to tilt, and the other three were also damaged to varying degrees.

On the other hand, the warships of the Ming army, although black smoke was rising from five or six warships, judging from the speed of the ships, it was obvious that they had not lost their combat effectiveness.

In this case, once surrounded by warships of the Ming army, the consequences can be imagined with your ass.

Looking from a distance, the crew on the three warships that started to tilt had already started waving their hands to call for help, and some people had even started to rescue the lifeboats.

The other three warships that were emitting black smoke seemed to have lost their combat effectiveness. The crew members were busy fighting the fire, taking care of their comrades and speeding up their escape from the battlefield.

How to do?
Captain Jack was caught in a dilemma. Half of the twelve warships were lost at once. How would he explain to the governor when he went back?

You must know that before the expedition, he boasted to the governor that with these twelve warships, he could sweep the Ming Dynasty navy. Now that the coastline of the Ming Dynasty has not even been seen, the entire army is almost wiped out. What a fart this battle is!

surrender?

Letting my majestic Spanish Royal Navy surrender to the pagan country of Ming Dynasty, what is the difference between killing me and killing me?
While Jack was still struggling with his mind, the pursuit between the two sides still hadn't stopped.

The rumble of the guns also gave Jack a better understanding of the range and rate of fire of the Ming army's artillery.

Turning his head and glanced at Li Chaoran who was hiding behind the side of the boat, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Come on, give this guy a white flag and throw him into the boat"

Hearing Jack's order, Li Chaoran couldn't help being scared out of his wits. He boarded the red-haired ghost ship to avenge himself through these people, not to let these people hand him over as a gift.

"General, you can't do this to me, I'm here to help you."

Although Li Chaoran kept struggling and begging, with his small chicken-like physique, he was completely powerless to resist after being clamped by two big-waisted Spanish sailors.

One of his men approached Jack and asked in a low voice, "Captain, are we really surrendering?"

"Surrender ass, use this waste to attract the attention of the Ming army, and order other warships to leave the battle circle with all their strength, let's go back to Manila"

To use a Chinese saying to describe Jack's actions, it is a strong man cutting off his wrists.

The number of warships of the Ming army is already more than that of the Spanish warships, and the firepower is even stronger than Jack dreamed of. In addition, half of the warships were lost at one time. In this case, if he loves to fight again, there is only one ending waiting for him .

So, let's hurry up!
In fact, the firepower of the treasure ships was not fully utilized. This was mainly because the Ming fleet came out in battle formation. After all the ships fired at the same time, there was no chance for the treasure ships to show off.

Tian Siqing saw the direction of Jack's main ship, and knew that he was going to run, so he turned his head and asked Ye Xun who was watching the battle: "Elder-in-law, do you want to catch up?"

Ye Xun, who had been watching the battle intently, shook his head and said, "There's no need to be greedy, let's digest these ships first."

Tian Siqing actually thought so too, but with Ye Xun around, he had to ask for instructions.

"Eunuch Ye, spare the villain's life, the villain has important secrets to report."

Before Tian Siqing finished his sentence, Li Zhong's heart-piercing shout suddenly came from the mast. I remember that he was gagged just now, why did he still make a noise?
If it is tied high, you can see far away. If you are not tied so high, you will not be able to feel the thrilling feeling at all.

The deafening explosions and the cannonballs flying all over the sky directly scared half of Li Zhong's life, and he also understood that whether it was Xing Minghui or Li Chaoran, they were not the opponent of this Eunuch Ye at all.

In this case, saving your life is the most important thing, young master, don't blame the old slave for betraying you
