The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

"Sir! Look, those two ships are so fast, and there's black smoke coming out of them!"

Sailors on board more than [-] warships of the Guangzhou Navy who were undergoing drills exclaimed.

A navy chief officer who led the team heard the soldiers' exclamations, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Black smoke is coming from the boat, fast!

Although there are thousands of ships in this eastern waters, the only one that meets these two conditions is the Ranger warship of the Ming Navy.

Although the Ranger warship is inferior to other warships of the Ming Navy in terms of firepower, due to its fast speed, she is often used by the Ming Army as a pioneer.

As soon as the Ranger appears, there will often be a large body of Ming Navy main force behind them, and then swarms of cannonballs will hit their heads.

Therefore, many officers and soldiers in the Navy call the Rangers "the mourning birds, black and impermanent!"

Thinking that the visitor might be the Ranger in the Ming Navy, the chief military officer hurriedly raised the Ming-made telescope he spent a lot of money to look in the direction pointed by the soldier.

"Not the Ranger!"

Comparing the picture album distributed above, the Navy Chief found that the two strange ships in the distance were obviously very different from the Ranger.

The Ranger still looked like a Galen ship with upturned ends, but it had an extra chimney. The two strange ships in front of him not only had two chimneys, but also had almost straight decks. This was the first time he had seen such a ship type.

But he still did not relax his vigilance. Although the ship was not the Ranger, the bright flag on the mast was fake. He hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the surrounding waters.

In his opinion, the Ming Army's smoking speedboats should be used as pioneers like the Rangers, and there must be the main force of the Ming Army's navy behind them.

But when he looked and looked again, his eyes almost popped out of his head. Apart from a Portuguese warship and a few ordinary merchant ships, there was no main force of the Ming Navy on the surrounding sea.

"Could it be said that the Ming Navy only sent these two ships?"

A big question mark appeared on the head of the Qing army commander.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Ming army to send only two warships to attack Guangzhou.

The main reason why the newly commissioned Taishan and Huashan appear here alone is because they run too fast.

The original plan of the Ming army was for the Taishan and Huashan [-] ships departing from Xinjing to meet more than [-] cruisers heading south outside Guangzhou Bay to cover the landing troops landing in Guangzhou Bay.

As a result, the two new cruisers were too fast, so they appeared here in advance, and they happened to bump into the Guangzhou Navy Department, which was out for training...

"Sir, what should we do?" At this time, a Qing army officer asked.

"These Ming bandits are extremely arrogant. After all, our Guangzhou Navy has nearly a hundred warships, and just two clippers dare to come to provoke! They are so contemptuous of me and do not teach the Ming bandits a lesson. It really makes people think that we are the Qing Dynasty." There’s no one left!”

"Send a signal to the other warships immediately, and join us to surround us and sink these two Ming bandit ships!"

Since there was no main force of the Ming Navy behind them, the Qing Navy commander immediately decided to go up and teach these two arrogant Ming warships a lesson.

If it were another large warship of the Ming Army, he might not dare to issue such an order, but the two smoking speedboats in front of him were different.

During his observation, he discovered that although the two Ming army fast ships were huge, they only had one deck, and there seemed to be very few cannons on them. The number of cannons was not even comparable to the bird ship at his feet. !

"Such a big ship is equipped with so few cannons. It seems that this Ming bandit will never succeed."

"There has just been a slight improvement, and those officials from the Ministry of Industry have begun to make money again."

The commander-in-chief of the Qing Navy was confident and shook his head gently as if he had seen through the essence of the incident.

Although he knew that the Ming army's artillery was fierce, what use could just a few cannons do?

Moreover, the Ming army only had two ships, but he had a total of 26 warships!All of them are medium and large warships.

26 ships versus 2 ships!

Rush up together and use the human sea tactic to pile up the Ming army's warships to death!

"Yes! Your lord!"

The Qing army officer responded with a happy face.

Since the emergence of the Ming Dynasty, it has fought countless battles with the Qing Dynasty, but the results without exception were the victory of the Ming army and the disastrous defeat of the Qing army.

The current situation is obviously that our side has an absolute advantage. As long as we seize the opportunity to sink these two Ming warships, the superiors will definitely not be stingy with rewards!

Although the big head will still be taken away by the people above, as the leader of the ship, he can still get a sip of soup no matter what.

The leader left with the dream of promotion and fortune. When he was young, a heavy horn sounded from the Qing navy fleet that was practicing formation.

The next moment, the Qing navy fleet began to change its formation, and then 26 Qing warships of various sizes rushed straight towards the two Ming warships.

On the unprotected cruiser Taishan of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, Jia Wenxuan, who had been transferred to the captain of the Taishan, looked at the Qing navy rushing towards him with a helpless expression.

Originally, he planned to wait for the landing fleet to arrive before cleaning up these little miscellaneous fish.

But now the little miscellaneous fishes actually come forward to beg for death!

Why!It would be difficult for him to refuse such a request!

Although Jia Wenxuan had just been transferred to the Taishan, he was very aware of the terrifying nature of the new cruiser at his feet.

Apart from a few ships of the same class, even the Royal Navy itself had only a handful of battleships capable of defeating her.

And defeating does not mean sinking. The Mountain-class cruiser relies on its body-covered iron armor and super-fast speed. Even if the upper deck is leveled, no one can leave it behind.

What's more, the power of the new artillery on this ship can be said to be devastating!

"Order, press the right rudder at 275, half the speed, let the Huashan catch up, and wait until the Qing navy approaches to a distance of 500 meters before firing!"

Jia Wenxuan ordered in a deep voice.

Although the 1691-type 130mm naval gun equipped on the Mountain-class cruiser has a maximum firing range of 5000 meters, its accuracy is a big problem.

When the Qing warships are brought as close as 500 meters, accuracy will no longer be a problem.

The rifled cannon has a distance of 500 meters, and the target is a big thing dozens of meters long. If you still can't hit it, then you should stop being a gunner and go home to nurse your children as soon as possible.

Under Jia Wenxuan's order, the Taishan and the Huashan began to turn, exposing all the side guns.

In the Qing navy, the navy commander who led the team thought that the Ming army was about to escape when he saw the Ming army's warships starting to turn, and he felt anxious in his heart!

Because he knew very well that with the speed of the Ming army's smoking speedboat, they would never be able to catch up if they wanted to escape.

Fortunately, the Ming army kept sailing at a slow speed after crossing the ship. He knew that this was the standard formation of the Ming army's navy to engage the enemy.

Seeing the Ming army put up such a formation, the Qing navy chief officer breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don’t run!Still fighting the enemy!remarkably brave!

The commander-in-chief of the Qing army looked happy, and happiness is contagious. Soon everyone in the Qing navy was immersed in an atmosphere of excitement.

Because everyone thinks they will win this battle!

As the distance between the two sides got closer, the faces of the navy officers and soldiers became even more joyful.

Getting promoted and making a fortune is now!

But soon, they stopped laughing.

"Boom boom boom..."
