At this time, the Malay Governor's fleet was divided into the main force of a large fleet composed of fifty-four warships in the front, and the next one was a squadron composed of thirteen warships led by the Swedish Navy Admiral Hedram.

They were so powerful, with sails covering the sky and the sun. The sailors on the boat were ready to swing forward and rushed towards the five Li family fleets, which seemed very large, but were a little lonely.

"strangeness……"

"There is at least about a thousand yards away. Why did the Li family fleet change its course and prepare for shelling?"

At this time, the Swedish Navy Admiral Hedram, who was following behind, saw from his telescope that the Li family fleet had directly raised all the sails at a relatively long distance and turned with the crosswind.

He saw that the other party made a big arc. The beautiful hulls neatly followed the flagship in front of the mouth and drew a big circle on the sea, and then kept the same heading angle with their fleet and sailed northeastward. They opened the cannons facing them one by one, and pushed out the cannons inside.

"Are you really planning to shoot a thousand yards away?"

"No……"

"Then there are at least one thousand and one hundred yards!"

"What's the use of such a shelling?"

The Swedish Navy Admiral Hedram was a little confused. Although the enemy ships changed their courses from a distance and walked in the same direction as them, forcing them to pursue and then unable to use the advantage of quantity to encircle them, he did not understand what the use of the other party's shelling at a distance of more than a thousand yards?

In his opinion, at least about 300 yards of artillery cannon shooting can only be guaranteed to have a certain degree of shooting accuracy, and about 100 yards cannon shooting cannon shooting to ensure the absolute lethality of the artillery cannon shooting!

"strangeness!"

"Didn't it mean that these Li family fleets were actually disguised by the Ming navy?"

"But……."

"Why is their Royal Navy at this level?"

Hedram, who followed the last side of the fleet, was at least three thousand yards away from the enemy ship, and could not catch up or fight, did not order the sailors to enter the combat post. He just continued to follow while using a telescope to closely monitor the enemy ship's every move.

“!!”

"And, it's really fired?!"

Suddenly, in the telescope, Hedram saw that the Li family fleet had used the small angle surface to open fire at the fleet ahead of them.

"Who are they in charge? This is to play..."

However, as the gun mouths protruded from the enemy ship's gun doors sprayed out flames and black smoke, Hedram soon discovered that with the rumbling sound of cannons, the sharp whistling of cannons came soon. Then, he stared with his eyes wide open and was frightened back before he even finished speaking.

It is said that each of the Li family fleets has 248 heavy Cannon rapid-fire cannons?

Therefore, he knew about the other party having a total of 120 cannons on each side, and he also knew that the other party could shoot a total of 600 ground shells in a volley. However, the other party fired guns at a distance of more than 1,000 yards and shot them. In his opinion, it would be a good idea to have a dozen hits and smash several pits on the decks of several ships led by him, and that was a waste of ammunition!

But no idea...

“!!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

At this time, he actually saw that one heavy solid shell or expensive flowering shell was smashed down densely and accurately in the front of the main fleet of the Malay Governor Preyra. Except for about two-thirds of the hitting into the sea, the rest were accurately pierced into the decks or sides of the ship and smashing out large pits, or simply exploded?

At this moment, at the front of the fleet in front, whistling shells fell down like rain. At the very least, wooden thorns splashed, people overturned, and mast sails broke, and fire flashed. What's more, some ships did not know whether it was the powder barrels detonated or the flowering bullets, but burst into flames on the deck and cabins, and soon the entire ship was instantly covered by thick smoke and fire.

"not good!"

"quick!"

"Send the order!"

"Don't worry about the ten armed merchant ships. Let our battleships accelerate with full sails and rush up. We must intercept them!!"

Seeing this, when he saw that the fleet of Malay Governor Preyra lost two ships under the enemy's shelling. After injured several ships, Hedram, who found that the accuracy of the guns carried by the enemy ships was somewhat beyond imagination, exclaimed immediately, and then he quickly ordered his three second-level battleships to escape from the ten slow-armed merchant ships behind him, and directly accelerated through the waves, intending to use the power of his three battleships to move forward and intercept the Li family fleet.

He must do that, otherwise, if this continues, everything will be done!

At this time, Portugal's Malay Governor Doyle Ropez Di Preira obviously saw the seriousness of the problem like Hedram.

Therefore, the battleships they led quickly accelerated, gradually leaving the large fleet of pursuit, and directly from the other direction, preparing to cooperate with Hedram to rush up and intercept and attack the five ships that seemed to want to destroy their abominable Ming ships with ultra-long-range advanced cannons.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

However, the Li family fleet did not care about the battleships that left the fleet. Instead, after the loading was completed, it launched a second round of bombardment at Preyra's large fleet, directly injured several more ships, and even let one of them be submerged in the flames and crossed the sea, which seemed to be completely scrapped.

"Help~!!"

"quick!"

"Jump down!!"

"The mast of the June Flower broke, let them be responsible for saving people, and the other ships continued to move forward!"

"keep going!"

"Quick! Must be closer!!"

"Don't worry about them!"

Hedram's ships were obviously much faster than those armed merchant ships, so after the Li family fleet completed the second round of shelling, they finally caught up with the large fleet and rushed past the side of the ships that were damaged by sails or hulls, or simply caught fire and exploded.

Looking at the sailboats with miserable ends and the shrill howling firemen who were constantly jumping out of the fired armed merchant ship, the sailors on the three second-level battleships could not help but flashed a look of surprise and fear on their faces.
