Chapter 1729: Armageddon
The Spanish flag was raised again.
There were fragments of ships everywhere, falling on the sea.
At this moment, it seemed that even the sea water was dyed red.
Countless sailors from the Invincible Armada began to climb up the opponent's ships and seize the spoils.
They are not cruel and ruthless towards the Ottomans.
After all... prisoners can ask for ransom, which is a tradition that they adhere to.
The Clippers had left the main fleet and began to sail towards the direction of land.
This victory came too quickly.
Even the Spanish and Portuguese found it incredible.
In fact, they have been afraid of the Ottomans all year round!
Although he is quite sure to win in naval battles, he doesn't think the Ottomans are so vulnerable.
When they continued to make leaps and bounds in tactics and ship manufacturing, they never thought that the entire Ottoman navy was still standing still.
Immediately afterwards, the fleet began to hang sails. They would travel north and arrive at the nearest port. They needed some minor repairs to replenish ammunition and supplies, and then turn back to take down Alexandria and then seize the entire Egypt.
After all... after a great war, the Ottoman navy was destroyed, so in this vast ocean, they were the masters here and did not need to launch an attack in a hurry.
Duke Derek slept comfortably at this time.
Since he went to sea, he has not had a comfortable sleep for a long time. This sleep is very heavy and fragrant. Even in the world in his dream, it seems that there are only flowers and enthusiastic cheers.
But at this moment, his deputy hurriedly ran in and disturbed his dream: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency... I discovered the enemy ship, and thirty nautical miles east of us, a large number of enemy ships, with more than forty people."
Duke Derek seemed angry at the anxious voice.
More than forty ships...then...it may be a squadron of the Ottoman Navy!
For Derek, such a squadron is really vulnerable in front of the powerful invincible fleet, and there is no need to notify him of the coach.
"Is it the Ottoman?" Derek asked unhappily.
"No, it's the Ming fleet."
"Ming Fleet..." Duke Derek closed his eyes and became cautious.
"Is it the remnant of the Ming Fleet in the Northern Province? Or is it the Ming American Merchant Ship Fleet?"
"It was our Clippers who discovered them, but they found that their banner... It was very unusual... This was definitely not an ordinary Ming fleet..." The deputy looked very serious!
Duke Derek stood up, his face cold, but he still disdained: "What is that?"
"We discovered... the king of scum on earth is not an official account..."
When Wang Bushi's three strange pronunciations were spoken from the mouth of the eldest mate.
Slammed... Duke Derek's face sank.
Wang Bushi... It's actually Wang Bushi...
The Spanish and Ming Dynasty continued to confront each other in the Americas and northern provinces, and in this limited war, the Spanish began to understand the Ming Dynasty.
At least... they knew the other side's navy formation best.
When the word "Xiao Zhu Xiucai" appears in the opponent's fleet, it means that the opponent may have a formation escorting or acting. Such a formation means that its scale will reach 30 warships and more than 100 auxiliary ships.
But... Once the scumbag in the world does not appear.
As the eternal main flagship of the Ming Navy, the Ming fleet must have emerged in full swing. As for how large its fleet is, then... only God will know.
Even... the other party's commander, if he wants to be in his position, would never be inferior to Duke Derek to Spain.
The ships that the King of Scum on Earth, which are not fixed are not fixed.
Instead, there are only the latest warships launched and the most powerful ships can be used.
Once the latest giant warship is launched, the former flagship needs to abdicate and give way to the wise.
Because... the scum on earth does not serve, for the Ming Navy, it is a spirit and a totem. This Mr. Wang Bushi must be the most amazing Han warrior, with unparalleled wisdom and courage.
Don't underestimate it!
Duke Derek's expression finally became solemn.
"The other party cannot have only more than forty ships. Damn, this is the Mediterranean. If it were a huge fleet, why could it enter and exit the strait silently!" Derek became angry.
Yes... the main force of the Ming Dynasty came out in full swing, which means... hundreds of warships will be dispatched, and other auxiliary ships of various colors will reach more than a thousand. Such a large fleet actually entered the Mediterranean without warning, and the Spanish guards defending in Gibraltar did not notice at all... This... was simply a huge joke.
The deputy also looked at Duke Derek with a tense face. In fact... when he heard Wang Bushi's name, his heart trembled.
That was an invincible ship, which had appeared in the Golden Continent and Luzon.
"The Ming Fleet will never have only more than forty ships. This must be their squadron. Immediately...send a fast ship to search the nearby waters."
"Your Excellency, the Clippers have sent it."
Duke Derek said seriously: "Then, it seems that the time for the decisive battle with the Ming fleet has also come. This time they made a huge mistake. The arrogance blinded their eyes. They must not think that in front of the Invincible Fleet, the Ottoman Navy is vulnerable. Next, the Invincible Fleet will continue to welcome new enemies, until they are buried at the bottom of the sea. Even if it is the King of Scum on Earth, the same will be true. Notify all ships, all soldiers, and tell them that it is not the time to cheer and be happy, be ready for battle, polish their artillery and muskets, and replace them with new sails, and we will welcome new victory!"
The orders are conveyed quickly!
In the darkness, the ships shouted to each other.
The Mediterranean sea water did not have any stormy waves, relatively calm, but once night fell, the sea water seemed to suffer from the power in the dark and began to become irritable. In the huge continuous sound of waves, the fleet maintained its defensive formation and carefully searched for the enemy's traces. The soldiers whispered in the sound of the waves. Some old sailors who had experienced too many whispered to the new people about the legend of the king of scum on earth.
But... compared to the frightening scum on earth, they are more proud that they are a member of the Invincible Fleet.
This heinously powerful fleet has never had an opponent for many years, so that His Highness the King had to constantly disrupt the organization of the Invincible Fleet and only sent a small headquarters to undertake the mission.
And now... the squadrons from all over the world have gathered, and the largest fleet in the world has joined forces with the Portuguese Navy, which is enough to make them not afraid of any enemies.
It is frustrating that... no trace of a large fleet was found nearby.
The only thing I found was the slowly coming small fleet.
The number of its ships is less than one-thirty of the Invincible Combined Fleet. Even if the auxiliary ships and the clutch are thrown away, it is far less than one-tenth of the real warships.
The other party is approaching, which is the alarm received by the fleet.
This makes people even more confused.
Forty ships actually dared to rush towards the Invincible Fleet. Are they... crazy?
Although the Clippers continued to explore, they concluded that the other side's warships were different from ordinary ships.
But for Duke Derek, a ship is a ship, and it is impossible. There is anything extraordinary. Even if there is extraordinary, it is absolutely impossible... One is ten, one is a hundred. Quantity is strength.
The Invincible Armada slowly and carefully in the dark waves.
Until dawn.
The dark sky seemed to emit a ray of light suddenly, like a disagreement, tearing open the dark hole.
Immediately afterwards... the dawn fell, and the light fell on the mast, on the royal flag, and on the sails of the Red Cross.
The bulging cross sails are now like a proud general with a big belly.
Finally... the lookout hand can see the traces of the enemy ship with the naked eye.
So... he rang the bell.
The bells echoed across the ships.
Thousands of ships of all sizes, like locusts, stretched out their wings and then swept tightly towards the target.
Duke Derek noticed...the other party's ship seemed to have taken off his sails.
Or... the other party seems to have no sails...
Of course... all this is just speculation!
Any guesses now have no meaning.
He has confirmed that there will be no more naval within a radius of dozens of nautical miles.
What he faced was most likely a side division that had fallen into a team, or a Ming fleet that was under the banner of the king of scumbags on earth, using it to intimidate.
His eyes emitted light.
So, the order was issued with full energy.
Thousands of ships were launched together.
The huge gunboat pulled the sail and began to approach the other side with familiarity.
They need to find the best angle to expose the other party's hull to their own artillery, and then...slaughter them.
Other ships seemed to have begun to disperse, blocking the direction of breaking through or escaping.
The gunboat lowered its secondary sail, and its hull tilted slightly, and began to circulate around the Ming fleet.
It was like a pack of wolves, at this moment, looking for a fighter opportunity, and then... bit the other person's throat in one bite.
The sailors looked at their prey excitedly, one by one, and they were hungry. They were excited, their blood boiling, and they wanted to destroy this partial army immediately.
The sky...it's brighter...
Under the light of dawn.
The dim sea surface began to turn blue.
What's even more incredible is that the originally dark Ming ships, except for more than 30 sail warships, suddenly began to reflect dazzling light on the other ships.
This is...Iron Armor...
