[The last sentence of the previous chapter, I wanted to write a cannon, and it was written as a cannon. What I wanted to express is that the cannon is unreliable, it has nothing to do with cannons.]

When the 104 and the Zhenwu continued to carry out the second round of destruction of the Duke of Goa, the 102 and 103 had already joined fire with another Carac sailing ship, the Garreles.

It has been a quarter of an hour since the first shot was fired, and the Gareles is naturally ready for battle.

Three warships opened fire at the same time and engaged in a cruel battle!

The starboard turret of the 102 ship and the port turret of the Gareles, the starboard turret of the 103 ship and the starboard turret of the Gareles are no more than forty meters apart. In this kind of battle between the nearly face-to-face, the hit rate is directly full. As long as it is on the same level, there is no possibility of missing shots at all!

The white smoke quickly enveloped all three ships. Only the sound of suffocating continuous cannons, the crazy shouts of soldiers from both armies, the howls of pain, and the curses of angry curses. There were also the sound of cannons in the mast and wooden hull, and the huge metal collision of the cannons being hit by the cannon body... All these terrifying sounds intertwined and formed a symphony of blood and fire!

But gradually, the difference was still divided...

The Gareles, who was supposed to be against two, had a loss significantly greater than that of the opponent.

The Gareles had twenty bronze long snake cannons on both sides and a falcon cannon with a slightly closer range... which is what the Ming Dynasty called Dafa Gong. Originally, the number of cannons was much larger than the sum of the two ships.

However, the size of the Gareles is basically the same as that of the Duke of Goa, and the barrel is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, the gun position on the wind and rain deck can only shoot the masts and sails of two enemy ships, and cannot cause damage to its hull.

So what can really hurt the coast guard officers and soldiers is the twelve guns on the left and right sides of the artillery deck.

Ships 102 and 103 are half-sized Garen ships. Although they also have double decks, the gun windows on the lower deck are relatively low, and when they open the windows and shoot in strong winds and waves, it is easy to pour into the sea water. Therefore, during the initial trial voyage, Yang Fan only installed nine guns on the upper deck on the left and right sides.

Wang Rulong and other senior coast guards were very dissatisfied with this firepower, and they insisted that Yang Fan adds cannons to the lower deck. Yang Fan was so worn out that he could not help. When they firmly guaranteed that the sea conditions exceeded level five, they would never open the lower deck, and then added seven guns on the left and right sides to the lower deck.

Therefore, each of the two ships has 16 cannons available at this time. 32 to 24 cannons cannons that can cause damage to the opponent's personnel, and there are eight more cannons on the Jiangnan Group!

This is not the key. The key is that the 24 Portuguese guns are all long-barrel guns fired from a long distance. At this distance, although the long-barrel guns are pressed through two enemy ships, there is no pressure. However, their shells are small and their initial speed is large. They often leave two symmetrical holes as big as bowls on the walls of the two ships, and the shells fall into the sea...

In addition, the artillery decks are splash-proof, so as long as they are not hit directly, it does not have much threat to the cannon and the gunner.

But once it hits directly, trouble comes... One of the solid shells directly penetrated the guardrail of the 103 ship and hit the barrel of a Hongxi cannon. The cannon immediately sunk into a large pit and was completely scrapped.

Another shell came in through the gun window, and then it hit the main mast wrapped in bedding. With a loud crack, the main mast was still cracking, and the shell bounced back. It first wiped a coast guard's head away, then made a big hole in the chest of the deputy gunner, and finally cut off the main gunner's thigh. Then it rolled quickly on the ground, tripping several coast guards, and then stopped its journey of eating people.

In fact, the number of coast guards killed by cannons was not as much as that caused by the Portuguese condescendingly with a coercive gun and a Big Bo Lang aircraft.

But the coast guards showed fearless fighting spirit. The health officers quickly carried the dead and injured to the medical cabin. All the marines on the ship went to the top floor and attacked the Portuguese with muskets, Big Bo Lang aircraft, Longqing rockets, and Chacha grenades. With the fierce firepower, the red-haired ghosts on the high place were suppressed so hard that they dared not show their heads.

The coast guard gunner, who was idle at the tail of the opposite cannon, immediately filled the vacancy of the sacrificed comrades and continued to use Hongxi cannon to pour fire into the red-haired ghost.

With the continuous output of the two main coast guard ships, the Portuguese suffered a lot of losses. Hong Xi's cannon was double-shot, and Bao Junshuang was attacked on both sides...

Moreover, short cannon loading is much more convenient than long cannons. Basically, if the opponent fires one shot, we can fire two cannons! Under such dense and fierce artillery attacks, the gun positions on the deck of the Gareles artillery were silenced one by one.

In fact, the artillery was fine, but not much was scrapped. However, the more than 300 Portuguese and Nanyang sailors on the artillery were all cleaned by heavy rain shotguns...

~~

Colonel Conde, the captain of the Garreles, was in the helm room of the stern, avoiding the Oda City rockets running around in the sky.

Although he was also lying under the table, it was definitely not a manifestation of cowardice, but to hear the movement below clearly! A serious face!

When he heard that the artillery deck was basically silent, he finally couldn't help but say to the first mate beside him: "You can't be beaten passively anymore, you must leave here!"

"But the Duke of Goa..." The first mate plucked up his courage to look up at the flagship behind him.

"Don't worry, the Duke of Goa is a non-sinking warship, and the commander is the best commander of the empire in the Far East." Kong De said seriously: "Let's move to the upper vent and turn around and come back to rescue it!"

"Yes!" The first lieutenant felt that this statement should be able to pass the aristocratic court, so he crawled out to pass the order!

In fact, it is mainly because the tide is about to rise. Once the tide rises, the tide will push their boats into the bay, and it will be even more difficult for them to drive out of Shen'ao Bay.

Kong De also got up and took the helm himself, wanting to make the sailboat turn northwest.

The first mate was outside, commanding the sailors to control the sail cables, quickly lifting the spinnade and main support sails, and using the slight south wind to help the warship turn around.

Almost at the same time, the Duke of Goa also began to turn around. But it did not start the anchor normally, but cut off the anchor cable and forced the sail to sail. The ship that lost its anchor could not be docked, and if it encountered a storm, it would have to leave it to fate.

But Domingo no longer cared about so many. The waves of sailors he sent to collect anchor cables were all spurted by the Great Bolang machine and musket of the Jiangnan Group, and he was unable to complete the task at all. Seeing that his flagship had turned into frozen tofu, he would be passively beaten, and he would probably become the first big sailboat in history to be sunk. He could only cut off his arm and set aside before talking about it...

The four battleships took great effort to put on such a niǎo position. How could the little lady in the middle escape easily? So the four main battleships also turned their rudder and raised their sails, with the attitude of you being the wind and I being the sand, lingering to the end of the world.

At this time, the coast guard officers and soldiers of the 102 ship discovered that there were only two of their four masts left. There was only one left in the 103 ship...

However, the repair is not enough for the time being, because the fierce battle continues. They have to cause as much damage to the damn immortal sailboat as possible before the other party gets rid of it.

However, the advantage of the size of the Gareles was too obvious. Although the two ships tried hard to stop them, the Zhenwu on the outside still relied on its strength to directly hit the sailboat, trying to force it to stop, it still completed its turn after a quarter of an hour.

"Rise the main sail, top the mast!" The first mate whispered on the stern, and the sailors of Gareles also burst out with powerful momentum at the critical moment of life and death, the Portuguese and Nanyang sailors.

Work together to open all the useful sails at the fastest speed.

It was dawn, and the morning breeze brought power to the Galiles, allowing it to squeeze out the 103 ship, a small set, and slowly sail northward.

Seeing this, Haierdi and Rongsheng were very anxious and immediately ordered a pursuit. They agreed to wipe out the entire ship. What's the matter if they ran away?

~~

"It's so fucking hard!" Wang Rulong, who was anxious, cursed on the roster of the Japanese.

The Duke of Goa was first hit hard by the 102 and 103 ships, and then the Zhenwu and 104 ships followed and ravaged. They fired the cannons for an hour, and the barrels were softened, and they had not sunk the Portuguese flagship yet! He was so angry that he kept hitting his head against the wall!

He finally believed that in the era of sailing battles that the young master said, unless the fire cannot be controlled after the fire is hit, or the rare attack on the ammunition depot will explode, it is almost impossible to sink an oak-capped sailboat.

The humidity was close to saturation at this time, and the Duke of Goa was soaked in water. Therefore, the effect of the Oda City rocket was greatly reduced. Although it caused many fire points, it was controlled by experienced Portuguese sailors.

In fact, the downward shelling of the 104 ship and the Zhenwu ship opened several holes in the waterline of the Goa Duke. However, the carpenters and sailors responsible for damaging the pipes at the bottom of the ship took their lives to block most of the holes. In addition, the surface of Shanghai was unstable, so there was no risk of a shipwreck.

"Don't harm yourself first." Xiang Xuehai reminded Wang Rulong: "The Duke of Goa is about to turn around!"

"He thought beautifully! He bumped into it!" Wang Rulong roared.

"Are you serious?" Xiang Xuehai asked again. "Is there two of us?"

"Crash it!" Wang Rulong said viciously: "I don't believe it. It's so full of holes!"

"Okay!" Xiang Xuehai issued an anti-collision order to the deputy captain, and while steering himself, he pushed the hull of the Goa Duke and headed up.

The artillery deck of the Goa Duke was completely gone, so he naturally could not defend himself, so he could only watch the 10,000-hu black-tailed ship crashed into it in the middle.

With a loud bang, the Duke of Goa, which had finally turned around, had a big hole in the right tummy of the boat! The sailor who was making up for leaks at the bottom of the bilge was killed by many deaths.

As Wang Rulong expected, the broken ship, which was shot into a sieve, had almost broken ribs, and the boards were all riddled with holes, and the mortise and tenon structure of the entire ship was broken.

So much so that the square head of the Zhenwu ferry was penetrated deeply into the body of the Goa Duke and could not be pulled out...

The madman Wang Rulong immediately raised the order flag and ordered the 104 ship to shoot with the side cannons to clean the upper deck of the enemy ship!

Because the Zhenwu squad was much shorter and was closely linked to the Goa Duke, there was a wall blocking it, so I was not afraid of being accidentally injured by the Hong Xi cannon of the 104 ship.

If three ships are compared to adults, the Goa Duke in the middle is pressed against his arm from behind by one person, and the other person is punched in the face in front.

The Hong Xi cannon of the 104 ship was fired in just one salvo, sweeping away the Portuguese and Nanyang sailors on the rain deck of the Goa Duke and the forecastle.

Only the three-story stern tower resisted the bombardment of Hong Xi's cannon.

But no one can guarantee what will happen to the next volley.

"Don't worry about so many things, jump!" Lin Daogan was the first to take the lead and jumped down from the porthole of the stern.

Zeng Yiben and others also performed diving on the high platform and left the sailboat that had been completely unsuccessful.
Chapter completed!
