Chapter 1546? (????????)? Hunting the Armada(2/2)
When he was in Guawa, in the Spicy Islands, he and Portugal's Malay Governor Doyle Ropez Di Preira led a huge fleet of ten warships and dozens of armed merchant ships to attack the second fleet of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce. In the Nanyang waters east of Brunei, he encountered the five giant warships of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce in the open waters of the spice route at about 108 o north latitude 2 o north longitude 108 o east longitude .
Can result...
Hedram experienced all that in person!
Two fleets of sixty-seven warships could hardly have formally fought with the warships of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, and were sunk eighteen, injured twenty-two prisoners, and then defeated and fled on the spot.
That terrible battle scene, the feeling of powerlessness under the overwhelming shells, now that I think about it, still makes him awake in his sleep from time to time.
"Lilu..."
"Sorry, I don't know if they can rush out, but I only know that the rumored message that the Ming Empire has begun to decline is likely to be wrong. The Oriental people still retain the most advanced shipbuilding technology and artillery making technology in the world!"
"And whoever can get it, perhaps, can dominate the world?"
Thinking of those giant Li family warships that were obviously large but were more resistant to wind and waves and faster and more stable, as well as the terrible naval guns with a range of at least more than twice the range of heavy cannons or iron cannons currently commonly used in Europe, Hedram felt that his heart could not help but speed up a few beats.
He also wanted to get those things and improve Sweden's shipbuilding and artillery technology, but he also knew that it was impossible. The reason why the Spaniards are so popular and eyeing them is obviously self-evident, and there will definitely be no chance for them Swedes!
Of course, there is definitely no chance for the Portuguese, Dutch or British, because now the Spanish Invincible Fleet has blocked the Li family's second fleet directly into the Mediterranean.
“??”
"Reign the world?"
Blinking, Lilu Agott seemed to be digesting the information Hedram said, but soon she laughed.
"Ahhh!"
"Impossible!"
"Mr. Hedram, I have seen Huamei Li and the others, and their large and medium-sized blessed ships. The ships look average, and some cannons are even worse than ours. Otherwise, she would not have tried every means to entrust my Agot Chamber of Commerce to help her get a civilian battleship."
"It is absolutely impossible for their second fleet to rush out of the Strait of Gibraltar!"
"That's absolutely not..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
“?!”
However, before Lilu Agot finished speaking, she was shocked to find that in the distance, a series of sounds of firecrackers came, and then, the water columns aroused by the shells falling on the sea?
“!!”
“That’s…”
"The Second Fleet of the Li family?!"
Hedram Joachim Bergstone picked up his telescope at the first time and looked into the Strait of Gibraltar. Then he soon saw that at the sea level east of the strait, there were indeed five huge ships sailing down the wind. They were the five battleships of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce!
At this time, they were heading towards the Strait of Gibraltar at high speed, and firing far away from the sea in groups of three or three, as if provoking the Spanish Invincible Fleet that was blocking the Strait?
soon!
In response, the Spanish Invincible Armada, which had originally been anchored and cruising on the sea, slowly moved under the angry commands. They began to pull up sails with Spanish flags and badges, lifted up anchors, and no longer cared about checking the passing merchant ships.
Seeing that the Spaniards no longer make things difficult, the ships waiting to pass at the entrance of the Strait saw that the naval battle was about to begin here soon, they also scattered and drove quickly towards the place they thought was safe.
"No way?"
"It seems that it is really the banner of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce..."
At this time, Lilu Agot also saw the five giant ships and the flags she had long been familiar with in the telescope.
"But……"
"Are they crazy?"
"How dare they?!"
So, seeing that the five ships were rushing towards the strait without knowing their own lives, she couldn't help but exclaim in a daze after seeing that the Spanish Invincible Fleet had begun to move in turn and began to form formations at the chaotic strait entrance.
Of course, she was just exclaiming, because now, she had no choice.
...
At this time, at the sea level east of the strait, on the flagship of the "Xiang Feihu", a disgusting little girl was also looking at the slightly chaotic entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar with a telescope.
“…”
(°〼°〃)
"cut!"
(ˉ▽ ̄])Tsk~~
"Are there quite a lot of ships?"
(? ̄?? ̄??)??°
"First mate, command: rush up and hit them with a few rounds of shells, then we turn around and run back, leading their large fleet to the gathering place of the old man and the muscular man behind!"
?(?^o^?)?
After looking at the densely packed and formation of Spanish Invincible Armada, and then looking at the more warships rushing out of the Port of Ceuta and the Port of Seville, Anne first curled her lips disdainfully, and then ordered the chief mate who had been opposing and rushed directly towards the Strait of Gibraltar.
“!!”
"Great Admiral, you want to..."
"yes!"
"Abide by the order!!"
The first mate was stunned, and then he quickly understood the specific intention of their Grand Admiral, so he stood up and responded loudly, then ran to his post to issue orders.
"Anne?"
"You want to lead the Spanish fleet to the gathering point of the Basha and Heiding's fleets behind them, so that they can fight?"
"But……"
"What if they don't get fooled and don't fight?"
At this time, Song Yifeng, who was standing by, obviously knew what Annie was trying to make, so she hurriedly asked after the first mate left.
"If you don't get cheated, you won't be cheated. Anyway, we run fast. If they like to fight or not, if they don't fight, we will fight ourselves and run away after the fight!"
(? ̄?  ̄?)Hehe!
There were too many Spanish warships. Anne just counted randomly and estimated that there were at least two or three hundred. There were only five of them with so many ships. The Mediterranean is so small. If you are not careful, they may be completely blocked, and it will be miserable.
Therefore, she planned to let the Ottoman Navy and Heiding's fleet follow far behind fight head-on with the Spaniards, block the Spanish warships and fight head-on with the enemy, and she and her fleet only need to carry out far-reaching shelling outside the enemy's range.
Of course, she didn't know whether it would be successful. It didn't matter if it didn't succeed anyway. After all, there were too many Spanish ships, and this battle could not end in three to five days. She had time to play with them slowly!
"That's good!"
"I just thought you would definitely rush out regardless of your concern..."
He patted his little breasts with some fear, and Song Yifeng nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How could he be so stupid?"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"You underestimate others too much!"
o(′^)o
"Wait, we can conquer this Mediterranean soon!"
(????-)?
"ah?"
"Conquer here? Are we just these five ships?"
Song Yifeng was obviously a little unbelievable.
"certainly!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
“…”
In the distance, the female pirate Azisha Nurennahar was standing silently at the bow of the ship, looking at the busy sailors on the spacious deck and the two little girls playing on the podium of the stern.
She heard Annie's orders and also heard the conversation between Annie and Song Yifeng. At this time, she didn't want to escape for the time being because she wanted to see if they could really do that to directly defeat the powerful Europeans?
