The Great Ming Navy arrived in front of the Falang Mech. They surrounded the Falang Mecha Fleet from three directions.

Surrounded by three people, one is missing.

This one was the beach. If the Franc Mechs went to the beach, they would only die.

It was like how a fish would definitely die of dehydration when it reached land.

Qi Jiguang stood on the deck of the large pontoon, his hand holding the railing as he looked at the tactical cooperation of the Great Ming Fleet.

This was the first time that the Ming Navy had encountered firearms. Before this, they had only encountered pirates with cold weapons, which was not of much help to the intensity of the training.

This time, they encountered the Folang Mechs.

However, Qi Jiguang found that the cannon fire of the Folang Mechs was faster, and the small boats were also very flexible.

Their sailors were very skilled in controlling small boats. These Franc Mechs had come from the extremely dangerous Atlantic Ocean.

After seeing the battle situation, Qi Jiguang stood on the deck and ordered loudly,

"The Emperor has decreed that any barbarian army that dares to intrude into the land of the Ming Dynasty must be killed on the spot!"”

"Everyone, attack! Attack! Attack!" Qi Jiguang drew his sword and ordered the navy to attack!

This time, Qi Jiguang led 10 large barges and 150 new warships, pressing down on the Folangji fleet with the pressure of Mount Tai!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The cannons fired!

After a round of bombardment, the five Flang wooden sailboats were instantly sunk to the bottom of the sea!

Under the crushing power of the Ming Navy, the Folangji sailors, who were familiar with naval warfare, were beaten to the ground!

The encirclement on the sea was getting smaller and smaller.

The Folangji fleet had already gone crazy. If they couldn't get out, they would be completely annihilated…

The Folangji fleet that had rampaged through Europa and looked down on all the heroes had never encountered such a death threat before.

Half a year ago, it was this fleet that had defeated the British fleet within an hour and wiped out the British military presence in the Mediterranean.

Under the threat of death and the pressure of losing their dignity to the Ming Navy, the Folang Mechs burst out with powerful combat power.

The Folang Mechs were very skilled in combat, and this was the first time the Ming Navy's officers and soldiers had engaged in a war with hot weapons on the sea, so their combat experience was zero.

Moreover, most of them were new recruits. Before joining the army, most of them were children of farmers.

Therefore, for a moment, the Folang Fleet occupied a partial advantage, and they were about to tear a hole in the encirclement...

Qi Jiguang saw this and stopped underestimating the enemy.

If Folang Juren escaped unscathed today, how could he face the emperor?

If he couldn't annihilate the enemy with absolute strength, he, Qi Jiguang, would be laughed at by the soldiers of the empire…

The battle on the sea was extremely intense. The advantage of the Ming Navy was that they had an overwhelming number of battleships, advanced battleships, and their cannons had a longer range and greater power.

On the other hand, the advantage of the Falang fleet was that they had rich experience in naval warfare, and their cannons could fire shells at an extremely fast speed. However, their range was very short, only two nautical miles at most.

The Ming Empire Navy's cannons had a maximum range of 6 nautical miles, and the number of cannons was shocking.

Although the aim was not very accurate, under the bombardment, the losses of the Falang fleet were heavy!

In less than half an hour, the fleet of the Langs had permanently lost the possibility of breaking out.

Soon, the distance between the two battleships was getting closer and closer.

When the ships of the two armies collided, the boarding battle began.

At this moment, the outcome was already decided!

No matter how experienced the people were, as long as the Ming soldiers boarded their ships, it would be their doomsday.

The main ship of the Ming Navy was a command ship, modified from Zheng He's treasure ship.

Qi Jiguang stood on the deck of the main ship with a brass telescope, observing the naval battle without blinking.

Actually, this was also the first time in half a year that Qi Jiguang had commanded his navy to train against enemies with cannons.

This time, it was the most practical training because the opponent was the most powerful fleet in the current sea.

The combat quality and tactical skills of these Franc Mechs could not be underestimated!

The battle ended quickly, and ninety percent of the Falang warships were sunk.

And the Ming Empire's loss was only a large barge that was smashed open by the enemy's artillery.

The big pontoon that was hit could still move. As long as it was repaired at the dock, it could still be used for decades.

No matter how soul-stirring the process was, there was no doubt that this great sea battle was a battle where the Ming Navy crushed the Folangji Fleet.

Thirty-five Franc warships, sailors and naval officers, a total of seven hundred and fifty-six.

In the battle, the Ming Navy killed more than 300 people and the rest were all captured.

As soon as the war ended, Qi Jiguang immediately ordered to send the entire fleet to Haihe Port.

He wanted the craftsmen to find out the advantages of the fast firing speed of the Franc Mechs 'cannons and then make up for the shortcomings of his own cannons.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

The emperor had given him an edict to train a fleet that could fight in the distance within a year.

The combat power of the naval battle and its influence on the major vassal states of Nanyang had to surpass Zheng He's fleet.

Otherwise, Qi Jiguang would be punished by the Emperor and even beheaded…
