Chapter 2288: Escape and Regret

"Xinghebo, are you trying to say that the Taixi people will dominate the sea? Hahaha!"

Fu Xian also laughed, and the laughter was contagious, and soon the deck was full of laughter.

Yes! The commander was laughing, how could this war be lost!

Fang Xing was also laughing, smiling.

There was more memory in his eyes, and then a slight sneer.

"Is it done?"

He suddenly asked.

Hong Bao and Fu Xian were stunned, and finally Fu Xian reacted and said excitedly: "Xinghebo, it's done."

Amid the sound of musket volleys, Fang Xing nodded slightly and squinted at the front.

There, he believed that the commander of the coalition forces was there.

The enemy troops on both wings had lost their fighting spirit, and the constantly rotating volleys turned their climb into a hellish journey. Those guys who were ready to set fire were killed one by one by snipers, but instead there were several more burning ships on the sea.

And right in front, more than a dozen warships were sniping the enemy with continuous artillery fire, and the frequency of artillery firing was getting lower and lower.

This was not because of the high temperature, but because the enemy ships were already timid.

On the sea, countless shipboards, people, and debris were floating.

Those were the results of the artillery.

And farther away, the warships that were damaged by the artillery had blocked Fang Xing's sight.

The battlefield was very vast, but it was filled with screams and exclamations.

Countless Westerners were shouting and cursing their superiors' orders. They cursed their superiors and were forced to embark on a road to certain death.

The smoke of gunpowder lightly enveloped the sky above the battlefield, and Fang Xing seemed to see the god of death grinning grimly.

Clang!

He drew out his long sword, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

The soldiers on the entire deck were looking at him.

The entire fleet was waiting for his order.

Fang Xing's chest was gradually relieved, and the long sword flashed.

"Counterattack!"

A thousand-household official turned around and roared: "The Lord has ordered, counterattack..."

"Counterattack!"

"Counterattack!"

Countless shouts gathered together, and countless people raised their arms and shouted, covering the flags.

"Counterattack!"

The desolate horn tore through the smoke, and countless Ming soldiers shouted.

"We fight back!"

"Ignite!"

Under the deck, the officer knelt on one knee and ordered loudly.

One by one, thick incense sticks were pushed towards the fire gate, and then the gunpowder burned and conducted...

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Countless iron bullets crossed the sea, and the most intensive artillery attack since the beginning of the war began.

Iron bullets hit the hull, wood chips flew across, and even the whole board was blown out.

A Taixi man was hit by a large piece of wood chips flying across his eyes, and he fell down without even a scream.

Under the intensive bombardment, wood chips flew and formed a curtain in front.

Before this curtain fell, the entire Ming army fleet had raised full sails.

The crew was desperately adjusting the angle of the sails, and countless people were busy.

"Smith!"

After the cheers of the Ming army, the intensive artillery fire made the Frankish general panic.

He grabbed Smith's collar, and asked with the last glimmer of hope in despair: "Smith, you are a famous general, you are a famous general, tell me, can we win?"

The Ming army ships in front were accelerating, and the treasure ships were in front, using their huge bodies to hit and crush the small and pitiful Taixi ships.

The Ming army's warships were using artillery to kill the fish that escaped the net in the gaps between these treasure ships.

This was the first attack, and behind them, the old warships were like combs cleaning up the last enemies.

This is an airtight attack line, and no one can escape from it.

No, there is.

The only way is to escape.

"Stop it!"

Smith suddenly knocked down the Frank general who grabbed his collar with a crazy punch, and then shouted: "Stop it! Let them block it!"

His eyes were desperate and sad.

From the beginning of the encirclement of the Ming army's small fleet, he was as ambitious as everyone else.

But just when the encirclement was coming to an end,

the main force of the Ming army came.

If the victory is calculated by number, then the coalition will win without a doubt.

But those larger warships are too terrifying. They have so many side guns that they can be divided into two parts to fire, which continues the density of firepower and fills the intervals of turning.

And the larger treasure ships, the Ming army on them is even more terrifying, using firearms to knock down their own subordinates in rows.

The front is collapsing, countless warships have begun to turn, but in a hurry, many ships collided with each other, and it was a mess.

"Smith, run!"

After being knocked to the ground, the Frank general was in no mood to entangle this, and hugged Smith's calf and shouted: "Hurry up!"

Smith looked at the sea in front of him blankly.

There were shipboards floating on the sea, but there were more people.

Those corpses were floating on the sea, with pale faces.

He raised his head, looked at the chaotic scene ahead, and shouted: "Retreat! Everyone retreat!"

The Frankish general got up as if he had been pardoned and shouted: "Retreat quickly! Don't worry about them, we run first!"

So the warship took the lead in turning, and then the remnants of the fleet that received the order began to flee.

After turning, Smith looked back and saw a rout.

The Ming army's attack line had changed, and the treasure ship had fallen behind the warship.

The warships no longer fired volleys, but approached the fleeing enemy ships, bombarding them with two or three iron bullets, or tearing the sails with chain bullets; even worse, some bold Ming soldiers even used kerosene to ignite the warships, and those Taixi people did not dare to resist, but just knelt down and surrendered.

This is what the situation is like when the army was defeated like a mountain.

Doc and others were brought up. When they were downstairs, they heard the sound of gunfire and various shouts. After coming up, they stood on the treasure ship and looked down at the current situation. Most of them were stunned.

They stayed in the cabin for too long, so at this moment they kept rubbing their eyes, and then tried hard to see the situation in front of them.

"That's not..."

Doc's face was pale, but he didn't know if it was because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time or what.

He gradually adapted to the light and gradually saw the situation clearly.

A big defeat!

There is no doubt that a blind man can tell who is the winner from the shouts in the Ming language.

Doc sniffed, and then tears came to his eyes because of the smoke.

That was sadness!

He refused to bow his head, just coughed, and then tears fell.

Henry stood on his right, his lips trembling slightly, and his clenched fists were also trembling.

Abel was in a daze, and then asked: "Where are they from?"

Frank had almost lost its maritime power before, that is, they built a lot of ships after following Hong Bao to the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't know about it.

Abel also smiled at Doc and Henry. In his opinion, even if they wanted to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, Frank would have nothing to do with it.

"They finally came out."

Doc said bitterly: "But why are they so anxious? Why?"

Henry said blankly: "I don't know, according to my memory, they came out too far. They shouldn't run so far..."

Fang Xing and others were in front, and the interpreter was called over.

At this time, a burning warship appeared in front of the left, and the treasure ship passed by it without hesitation.

As if it was crushed, the warship was shattered in an instant.

Doc even saw the last few people on the ship jump into the sea. He could even tell from their clothes that they were Plantagenets.

There were a lot of debris on the sea. Doc shook his body and said, "What happened?"

Henry said blankly, "We failed. Those idiots, if I were here, I would definitely not agree to Lisbon's participation in this voyage. A group of idiots whose ambitions and brains don't match..."
