In order to release his superior forces, the captain of Napoli ordered his men to use wooden boards to build another pedal to the Seahorse.

When the fully armed Spanish soldiers began to scream and started jumping from the other end, the Marines on the Seahorse quickly hurriedly made up their positions. However, the two sides were too close, and the well-trained Spanish soldiers were diving from a high position, so they could not allow the Marines to set up a formation.

Under the crazy impact, the Spaniards finally broke through the hastily arranged defense line by the Marines and took the opportunity to attack the Seahorse.

The sailors on the Seahorse were afraid of weapons and could not shoot at the Spaniards with muskets. Gatwood and the cyclone gun lost their shooting angle. The sailors could only throw away the firearms, bayonets on the rifle, and engage in an ancient and cruel hand-to-hand battle with the Spaniards.

What the Spanish expected was that although these Ming soldiers were unwilling to fight on the battlefield, they did not lack the courage and martial arts to fight with their lives.

Even if the coast guards fell to the ground, they would still be in the arms of the enemy and rolled off the boat to fight together!

In such a small space, the battle is based on the fact that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road and make great efforts to achieve miracles. The strong physique and courage of the coast guard officers and soldiers are well compensated for their lack of practical experience.

But the Spanish were not vegetarians, they were the strongest army of this era! With their full body of armor, superb skills and courage that was equally fearless, they fought with Ming soldiers on the Seahorse.

The soldiers on both sides were completely red in their eyes, and the casualties on the deck were killed and injured, and blood flowed. If it weren't for the sand sprinkled in advance, they would have been unable to stand firm.

The number of casualties on both sides rose sharply, but there were still a steady stream of soldiers on the Naples, which had the advantage of the number of people, heading to the Seahorse to reinforce through the pedals.

The captain of the Seahorse Zhuo Li was already several times. After being rescued by his subordinates, he bandaged him and said to the instructor: "Arrang to go to the gunpowder depot. Once the entire army is wiped out, ignite the fire. The red-haired ghost cannot take the Seahorse away..."

"Don't worry, it's already arranged." The instructor stuffed his cigarette into his mouth, pulled out his sword and said, "You have a rest first, I'll go and kill enough money..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain opened his mouth so hard that he didn't even notice the cigarette falling into his arms.

"What's wrong?" The instructor turned around and saw the 3102 ship, the Sea Wolf, rushing straight towards the Sea Horse from the side and backwards, and was about to hit it.

"Be careful that you will hit the boat!" The instructor hurriedly reminded his subordinates loudly, while grabbing the deputy on the bulkhead, and at the same time, he grabbed Zhuo Li who was slumped on the deck with the sanitary officer.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang and hit the Sea Wolf on the firm buttocks of the Sea Horse.

The Seahorse was immediately hit and rushed forward. The soldiers of the two armies were caught off guard and fell on the deck in a mess. Some unlucky guys also fell off the boat...

What was even more unlucky was the Spanish soldiers who were crowded on the pedals on both sides and were about to rush from Naples to the Seahors. The pedals on both sides were all overturned under the impact, and the Spanish soldiers above also fell into the sea like dumplings.

However, the Haima still had its castration and continued to slide forward for dozens of meters. Obviously, the giant arrow that grabbed it also fell off in the impact.

The Sea Wolf took advantage of the situation to fill the seat of the Sea Horse, and was side by side with the Napole. The two sides were less than one meter apart...

"Fire the cannon!" Cai Yilin, who was wrapped in bandages on his head, pulled the cannon rope hard. The Hong Xi cannon mounted on the stern roared and shot a red shell at the Napole, which was close to him!

On the way to reinforce the Seahorse, Cai Yilin ordered the preparation of the long-lost red fire bomb.

Although this shell is amazing, it takes too long to prepare and is prone to danger. Therefore, in principle, the Office of Staff no longer encourages the use of this shell.

It was just because it had an irreplaceable effect that each ship still had a blast furnace to heat the shells. Cai Yilin deliberately wanted to surprise the Spaniards and ordered the preparation of six of these shells.

Before the impact, the gunners filled all six port guns into the port.

After the impact, they followed the captain and shot five other red-burned shells into the hull of the Napole.

After the shot was fired, the gunners quickly used coolant to cool the cannon inside and outside. The smell of vinegar suddenly came to the sky, which made the officers and soldiers with dry mouth secrete a lot of saliva.

Because the main component of the coolant is white vinegar, its boiling point is extremely low and much stronger than cooling with water. Of course, the cost is also higher, but it is nothing for the wealthy coast guard troops.

On this side, the Sea Wolf was busy preparing to send another round, but on the other side, an orange light flashed and a shocking roar burst out!

The 600-ton Naples also broke into two pieces in the middle in this terrifying explosion. The explosion's flames soared into the sky for more than ten meters. All the people and things on the ship were thrown into the sky like debris...

The huge shock wave pushed the Sea Wolf out a long distance and almost overturned. Cai Yilin and his men were all over the ground, and more than a dozen coast guards fell into the water. Fortunately, they were all wearing life jackets, so it was fine...

The Hippocampus in the distance was lighter. Zhuo Li, who had just lit a cigarette, opened his mouth wide again and dropped the cigarette in his arms...

This little Cai is not only fierce, but also has a great luck, right? He can actually lit up the explosive depot of the Spanish ship.

In the era of sailing warships, it was difficult to destroy an oak warship with solid shells. Most warships were not extinguished in time after a fire broke out and were burned.

The thick oak shell of the warship can withstand the bombardment of hundreds of cannons and keep the warship from sinking. Unless the unlucky part under the waterline is chiseled by the shells...

But there are carpenters on the boat, and most sailors know how to plug the leaks, so when there are enough personnel, it is still very likely to plug the rupture and drain the water in.

Another possibility is to lead the gunpowder depot, which can destroy a ship in one go. However, the gunpowder depot is all in the cabin of the warship, and even if the solid shells are lucky enough to be shot in, they cannot ignite gunpowder.

But the red fire bullet can ignite...

~~

Just like the Sea Wolf and the Sea Horse.

The officers and soldiers on the upper fleet destroyers and frigates fought bravely in the absence of support, dragging the enemy with superior forces and blocking the route of the Spanish subsequent fleet's escape. They created prerequisites for the assault fleet and the reserve fleet to fight an annihilation battle!

While the Upwind Fleet began to fight, the assault fleet led by Lin Feng also entered the battle!

Unlike the former that disperses one-to-one, the assault fleet always maintains irregular formations.

Lin Feng personally took his flagship 09 ship "Winning Wanli" and led five other battleships, 10 ships Zhenyue, 11 ships Kunwu, 12 ships Jingyu, 13 ships Feixing, 14 ships Qingming, and 10 other cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 18 frigates, like fish, penetrated into the center of the Spanish fleet.

The reserve fleet led by Wang Rulong fought against the Spanish guard fleet, preventing them from supporting the middle lane, breaking the local advantages created by the attack fleet.

Of course, Lin Feng would not disappoint the Upwind Fleet and the Reserve Fleet, and she led the assault fleet into the middle of the Spanish Fleet.

The Spanish fleet did not have the habit of maintaining a battle line. Even though they had previously scrambled to escape, they pulled the team into a column similar to a column. However, the deep-rooted melee thinking still made them like the army, treating the middle lane as the central army, gathering the most and strongest warships there, one to protect their flagships, and the other to reinforce all directions at any time.

Because the assault fleet was heading towards the Spanish fleet, it fought with enemy ships earlier than the upwind fleet.

During the interweaving process of crossing the enemy formation, both sides used their naval guns to shoot at the nearest enemy ships, and the smoke quickly spread on the battlefield, making people unable to tell the direction. Some warships even collided head-on, and the sailors fell into the water.

But the adventure was worth it. When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the commanders of each ship saw that they had successfully divided the Spaniards' middle lane into two, and a large number of enemy ships fell into their own siege.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the other way around. Because on the sea surface less than ten miles, hedgehogs gathered seventy or eighty enemy and us warships, you have me and I have you, and I have you, and they have completely become a whole.

But the assault fleet insisted that it was itself surrounding the Spaniards.

Moreover, their tactics are different from the Shangfeng Fleet. In addition to the battleships that have absolute advantages, they still choose to fight one-on-one, even cruisers with high blood pressure, will work together as much as possible to attack enemy ships within a safe distance that can avoid accidental injury.

As for destroyers and frigates, they randomly formed several three-ship combat teams, using three to one, striving to paralyze the enemy ships as soon as possible with their superior forces.

Unlike the Shangfeng Fleet and the Reserve Fleet, the assault fleet is here to fight melee, and they fight in formation and take care of each other, so they are not afraid of getting too close, but instead pursue the face-to-face output as much as possible.

Moreover, in order to avoid accidentally injuring a friendly army in the melee, it is obvious that it is safer to use the Hongxi cannon with a shorter range.

Therefore, under Lin Feng's suggestion, the main ships of the assault fleet greatly increased the installation ratio of Hong Xi's cannons.

The destroyers and frigates even removed all long-barrel guns and replaced them with all short and heavy guns. The caliber of the short and heavy guns is super large and can even be loaded with double rounds. An oversized solid blast in the front breaks the hull of the enemy ship, and a shotgun in the back to harvest. How could it be so ecstatic?

Moreover, the number of grape bombs fired by short and heavy artillery is several times that of long-barrel cannons. One shot can clean up a large area, and even the mast can be broken.

In this way, the close-range lethality of the warship's volley increased several times in an instant. Of course, it was at the cost of completely giving up long-range attacks.

But this is the sharpest way to fight against the big ones. Therefore, the destroyers and frigates of the assault fleet perform much better than the same type of ship of the upwind fleet.

They fought all sides in the middle of the Spanish fleet, using their superior forces and short and heavy artillery, and a team could paralyze an enemy ship in about ten minutes.

Then quickly search for the next enemy ship. It either attacks left and right, attacks forward and backward, or even fights multiple ships, turning one Spanish sailboat after another into a living coffin floating on the sea...
