In June, the temperature in Xiangjiang is not too high and there is not much rain.

The blue waves are thousands of miles away.

On the sea thirty miles east of Haojing, the sound of cannons shook the sky!!

Nearly a hundred battleships lined up on the sea to fight, and the scene was tragic.

On one side are more than 40 sail battleships in Portugalia, and on the other side is the Delin fleet with the Delin Four Seas Wave Flag, with similar numbers.

At present, the artillery range and firepower of such warships are limited, so they can only adopt straight-line navigation tactics during naval warfare. The warships are arranged in a single column and sail in a straight line. When the enemy ships enter the artillery range, they start firing and conducting artillery battles.

This tactic was considered the best tactic for sailing warships a century before the Steam Machine Revolution.

The war broke out not suddenly. In the past half month, Portuguese warships have blocked Dayan merchant ships in various ways, intercepted and seized seventeen or eighteen merchant ships loaded with food, and refused to return them.

Many people originally thought that Dayan would think of a solution from the land.

Haojing is also facing the direction of Xiangshan County and has deployed heavy artillery and heavy troops.

No one expected that Dayan's warship would suddenly appear in the Haojing Sea and wage a naval battle with it.

There were merchant ships far away around to watch.

In addition to the ships on Dayan, there are also merchant ships hanging from the Netherlands, Portugalia, England, Flangji and other countries, all watching from a distance.

It was just beyond everyone's expectations. A war that should have been fought, but the situation was not very stalemate.

In ordinary naval battles, with cannon fire and smoke everywhere, there are actually few shots that can really hit.

When the warships are similar and the firepower is not much different, which side wins depends on their shell storage, warship maintenance, soldiers' quality, and the commander's combat command ability.

The latter, especially, is crucial.

For example, when England challenged the Dutch maritime hegemony, it launched three national wars in a row.

However, three consecutive times were defeated by the Netherlands.

One of the most important reasons is that there is a peerless general named Reit in the Netherlands.

The fierce legend of this fierce general is no less than any famous general in the world.

When the Netherlands' comprehensive national strength was not as good as England and Heysifrons, he even dared to lead his army alone into the Thames River, the country's gates of England.

Not only did he enter the British Fortress base, burned a large number of warships, but he even brought back a spoil.

England was riding his face and outputting wildly!

The attainments of naval combat command have reached the pinnacle!

But when the veteran in his sixties passed, he went deeper alone and failed to break through and unfortunately died in battle. The Dutland's naval combat power quickly declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Now, many people began to speculate, and they didn't know if the ship of the Delin used Eastern magic or if it also produced a Reit...

However, after five rounds of artillery attacks, the warships of the Governor of East Timor in Portugal began to suffer heavy losses.

Then, when no one could see what was going on, the warship Delin was possessed by God and passed through only six rounds of cannon fire. More than ten warships in Portugal were hit one after another, burning flames and exploding, and then sank.

This scene made the merchant ships of Western countries who had witnessed this scene stunned and shouted at the devil!

They knew that the Yan State navy was in fact and the Neiyang navy was pretty good, but they had basically never seen them go out to sea to fight.

The foreign navy is very funny...

In their impression, the only thing Da Yan can fight is the fleet of the Four Seas.

But wasn’t the Four Seas dead? It was still attacked and killed by Portugalia and Japan.

However, before they could react, they saw the Portuguese fleet begin to defeat and flee.

Flee to Haojing desperately.

Although the fleet with the Delin Four Seas Flag itself sank several ships and was severely damaged and withdrew from the battle, the main force still existed and accelerated to catch up.

The sound of cannons rumbling along the way, and Portuguese warships were constantly bombed and exploded, sinking to the bottom of the sea.

This scene made many Western merchant ships frightened.

How could there be such a strong combat power and such a high hit rate?

The Dayan Sea Division, with the Delin Four Seas Flag, stopped until the Haojing Castle and the shore artillery began to fire and returned to the East Timor Governor's fleet to return to the island and continued to fire at Haojing on the sea.

At this time, less than half of the more than forty warships in Portugalia were left.

What shocked everyone even more was that the ship of the Governor of East Timor, Portugal had sunk...

Big event!

A shocking event!!

Although Portugalia has long lost its overlord who dominated the world two hundred years ago, this generation of King Joao V of the Braganza Dynasty was a lucky guy, and a large amount of gold mines were discovered in the colonial Redwood Kingdom.

Portugalia, a small country that had fallen behind, vigorously developed its navy after a large amount of gold filled the treasury, and now it has returned to the level of a first-class European power.

Now that Joao V is at his utmost pride, the governor of East Timor is highly valued by him, otherwise he would not have expanded his army to more than 40 battleships, which clearly wanted to do a big battle in the East.

Who would have thought that the Portuguese Far East Fleet had not yet shined, and even the Governor was killed.

Will the proud monarch of the fifth generation of Ruo Ao personally expedition?

No, probably won't...

Seeing that with a volley of Delin fleet, 30% of the shore cannons on Haojing Island were pulled out!!

God!

Did Satan appear in Eastern people?

What kind of artillery technology did they master?

But no one thought about it anymore, because Hao Jing raised a white flag...

...

Except for a very small number of core personnel, there are not many people who know that Delin and Hao Jing sing double acts.

Not many people even know about the Sihai fleet.

This battle is about real guns and cannons!

However, the ships in Portugalia were blasted internally by themselves...

Governor William was killed by Elizabeth, a young widow in Portugal, and then buried in the sea.

No one would doubt this war, the sinking of so many battleships, the Governor of the Portuguese died in battle, and thousands of Portuguese soldiers died tragically, even on the Delin side, there were ships sank...

This is an absolutely real naval battle, but the result of the war is beyond the expectations of Western countries.

And with this result, in addition to the Delin, the commander of the Delin Four Seas:

The daughter of the former Four Seas, the concubine of the Duke of Ningguo of Dayan, Yan Sanniang!!

...

On the boat.

Jia Qiang stood with his hands behind his back, looking out at the vast sea.

Behind him, there was only an iron cow, a black helmet and black armor, guarded with a halberd.

Afterwards, there were Qi Yun, the heads of the thirteen families, and the nine major surnames.

Finally, there were Shanxi merchants who were stranded in Yuezhou City for more than half a month and were almost exhausted in patience.

"Do you know what this battle means?"

When the smoke from the sea disappeared, except for the occasional mutilation or corpses floating, there were no traces of war, Jia Qiang suddenly asked.

Qi Yun bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations to the Duke of the State. After today, no one dares to rob the Delin sea ship after this!"

The sea grain has begun to operate, and Siam and Annan are not clean. Warlords from all sides control it. In order to get money, a large number of people are willing to resell their food.

But Western foreign merchants also hope to get a share of the pie, especially when they know that the Great Yan needs a large amount of food.

The English-American Indian company owns the most fertile land in the Mughals and can produce a large amount of grain every year. If it can be sold to Dayan at a high price, it will naturally make more profits than to the poor in the Mughals.

Unfortunately, Dayan Haicai is completely controlled by the Delin. At present, high-priced grain does not need yet.

The Delin number, the merchant ships that purchased grain from Siam and Annan naturally encountered accidents. The owners of the Jiuda family came to ask Jia Qiang for ideas many times, but were shirked to this day...

The nine surnames did not expect that Jia Qiang had such courage and even more strength!

In fact, with the Delin alone, he defeated the Portuguese fleet and surrendered the people!

What shocked them were the seven Shanxi merchants.

They knew that Jia Qiang's legend had killed Bo Yankhan in the formation and destroyed the Fan family, a wealthy Shanxi businessman who occupied Zhangjiakou for many years.

But that reliance really had too many luck elements. They all believed that if they had not defended the city and fought in the wild, Jia Qiang would never be Bo Yankhan's opponent.

But now...

For the first time they saw what was a battle between hundreds of artillery fired against them.

With such a firepower formation, even if you fight Bo Yankan again, the horse and scimitar may not be able to beat it?
To be continued...
