Chapter 288 Three battles to determine the ruler and minister (Part 2)(2/2)
The first battleship, "Giant", had too many fires, and the sea water tore open a few holes and began to sink before it rushed out of the minefield. The sailors cried and tried to seek rescue from the friendly ships, but no one cared about them. The subsequent thunderbolt ships were determined to bypass it with a mortal determination and continued to rush forward, while the other warships followed closely.
Azeger made up his mind and ignored his soldiers and ordered the warships to wade out at all costs. Now he just wanted to escape back to Mantaga immediately, as long as he could carry some fresh water and food for him to start the first stage of escape.
He could rob the rest of the supplies needed along the way, and he had to escape back to India. Even if the dignified Portuguese Royal Navy became a sea beggar, he would still keep several warships for Governor Ah Bukrk, even if there were only ten. Otherwise, this failure might be the beginning of Portugal's decline from then on.
Adventurers always like to get rich overnight, but the greater the benefits, the greater the risks, and failure at once can also lead them to a situation where they are doomed.
There was no longer a terrifying explosion in front of them, and at the same time they rushed out of the Ming army's poisonous smoke array. Five warships fell into the sand and remained in the terrifying sea forever. Less than ten escaped warships were intact, and the rest were more or less scarred.
The Ming army's fleet found that they rushed out of the minefield and began to chase after Gufan. Azeger hurriedly inspected the fleet and then ordered the captain of the "Default" Mourinho to be the field commander, leading nine battleships with severe water leakage at the bottom of the ship to fight the Ming army to a death battle. The remaining eleven warships used the time they had won to return to the Masaga.
The Ming army's warships of all sizes rushed over, and nine unstoppable Portuguese warships were quickly swallowed up by the wolves, and the hand-to-hand combat began again.
A group of "super Seyyas" with sharp axes and long swords, with swollen eyes as peaches, tried hard to open a gap in their eyes, and used their watery eyes to find the gun head of their opponent's Youhuluo...
Han Wu left five warships with wounded masts to assist Peng Shark's fleet in combat. He led fifteen warships without any damage, followed by nearly thirty small boats and chased the Portuguese fleet.
Azeger hadn't thought that Mantaga might be captured by the Ming army, but he had too many reasons to rush back and find out: the huge wealth plundered by the fleet should not be denied; his wife and children should not be ignored; although the Archbishop was an annoying guy, he could not leave him here to arouse the king's anger; the warships could not be without supplies, and except for the lack of food, the ammunition they carried was also consumed.
The fleet was about to sail into the bay. The waves were calm in front, and no warships were blocking the sea outside the mouth of the sea. "Thank God!" Azeg shouted, and in tears, ordered the five warships behind the fleet to use the bay terrain to block the Ming army's pursuits and buy time for the entire fleet.
The "Lucky" turned into the bay first. Azeger's "Earl" followed closely behind. When the huge hull tilted across the sea, bypassed the green peaks of the harbor, and the entire stable and vast bay appeared in front of him, everyone on the "Earl" was stunned.
On the far left, a row of neat warships were sailing out to sea. The hook-shaped line was blocking their possible retreat at first glance. But Azeger had no time to take care of these. He stared at the giant creature in front of him, the terrifying killing machine.
Its body was filled with black muzzles. If it weren't for the fact that it was floating on the sea that had just left the morning, Aze would have thought that this steady steel monster was a castle built here a long time ago.
The poor Lucky was driving too fast, perhaps to avoid the sharp and heavy horn that could plow the mountain. It must have made a sharp turn while dropping the sails and throwing the cat, so it now uses the butt of the ship to diagonally face the side of the giant ship. It is like a yellow-beaked duck swimming beside the female duck. But the top of its head is not warm wings, but rows of crimson muzzles.
Behind the giant ship, there was still a row of warships quietly stopping. Azeger roared wildly: "The left rudder is full, the left rudder is full, the sail is falling, the anchor is broken, hurry up!"
"Boom", the sea water stirred up by the sharp turn rolled out like a huge wave, and when it pounced at the foot of the giant ship, it turned into a gentle wave. The "Earl" almost stopped and turned around, not cut in half by the porch. However, the warship that turned into immediately was not so lucky.
The space for them to rotate was getting smaller and smaller. One ship hit the stern of another stationary ship, and the other ships squeezing and other warships shattered, and the two ships rubbed tightly together.
The warships were like the scene of a traffic accident. The armored giant ship was still quietly anchored in the bay, and Ezeg did not move. He noticed that several muzzles were faintly exposed on the bow of the giant ship. In other words, the giant ship did not need to turn, and it could fire the cannon immediately and use its heavy cannon to smash the small boat under its nose.
Azeger's eyes continued to move upwards. The Chinese-style buildings, the cabins were like gorgeous palaces and pavilions, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and they were honored. On the high flagpole on the bow of the ship, there was a golden flag in the middle, fluttering with the sea breeze, and the slanted sunlight shone on the top of the pole. It was a Chinese dragon that was about to fly.
Someone was shouting, with a bright tone and majestic, but Azeger didn't know what he meant. He saw that with this sentence, the sails of the giant ship rumbled slowly. At this time, the sun was slanted westward, and the main sails on three sides rose, immediately blocking the sky, and the light around them was dark.
The chaotic Portuguese officers and soldiers calmed down and looked at the movements of the other party in fear.
The rise of the giant sail made the anchor chains in the water straighten up instantly. Azeger was convinced that if all of these anchors were raised, his warships that would have been plowed out of the bay by the ship in front of him.
Someone called out again, in Portuguese: "General Azege, Ming Dynasty... Governor Yangling of the Ming Dynasty, ask you to board immediately...... Climb the 'Magic General' and surrender to the Ming Dynasty Navy!"
