"Booming" the fire that soared into the sky instantly ignited the entire cabin, and from time to time a fireman rushed out of the cabin and fell into the sea.

After hundreds of meters, the gunners on the Ming army warship could feel the hot fire.

"put!"

Several large bird boats surrounded them like sharks smelling blood, and began to bombard the fired pirate ship with the six-pound falcon cannons on the deck.

"Sir, the Ming people's warship cannons are too fierce." A pirate leader ran to the deck in shock and told Aha.

Just now, a ten-pound lead bullet hit Aha's main ship directly, but fortunately, the shell smashed a large gap and only injured a few unlucky guys, and did not cause much damage.

"Didn't you tell me that the Ming people's navy is just a few small boats, at best, only some six-pound falcon cannons. How could there be so many heavy cannons?" Aha pointed at the pirate warship that was burning not far away with an angry look and shouted at the Spanish merchant.

At this time, the Spanish merchants were already sweating profusely.

He was also shocked by the fierce firepower of the Ming Navy, which was no less than the firepower of the Spanish Navy battleship.

"No, we must tell the strength of the Mingren Navy to the Governor Juan of Manila so that the Manila navy and merchant fleet will be prepared, otherwise something big will happen." The Spanish rich businessman thought silently in his heart.

Looking at the pirate warship burning not far away, Aha felt regretful.

He regretted that if he had known this, he would have led the pirate warship to flee away immediately.

How could I still get entangled with the Ming army here?

But now the Mingren Navy warship is in full swing, so how could he let them go?

"Hurry, order all the warships to surround and sink the two Ming warships." Aha pointed to the two Tiger warships on the sea in the distance and said coldly.

The pirates were not stupid either, so they naturally saw two main Tiger Warships.

The two daunting 12-pound bronze cannons on the artillery deck made them very afraid.

Soon, more than a dozen pirate clutches surrounded them.

As the saying goes, the pirates who were besieging the far-sea fleet turned around. After seeing the arrival of the Ming army, they turned the bow and sailed towards Aha's fleet.

When he saw Aha's main ship erecting a battle flag, he rushed towards the two Tiger and Ben warships.

The Pirate Clippers were very fast and rushed to the front of the two Tiger Warships of the Ming army.

"Sir, the pirates are coming to us." The lookout whistle came from the lookout.

"Order the nearby big bird ship to come back immediately to reinforce and drive away the pirates and clutches." Qin Yu said.

There are also bird boats and big bird boats on the Ming army.

These extremely fast small and medium-sized warships are mostly escort ships as the main warships of the navy.

Soon, seven or eight large bird ships around the navy began to rush towards the Pirate Clippers, and the two fleets collided head-on.

The Ming army bird boat carried several Franc artillery guns.

This Franco cannon, which has improved to the Spanish rotary cannon, has an extremely high firing rate and accurate head, which is very suitable for close-range naval battles.

A ten-pound tiger cannon and three six-pound falcon cannons were set up on the Big Bird boat.

The Pirate Clippers are mostly centipede ships that imitate the Spanish, Clippers.

Some even need to rely on manpower to paddle.

When facing the Ming army's heavy artillery ship, it was naturally a mantis arm to block the chariot.

It goes without saying that the naval battle is like a wolf entering the flock of sheep and fighting one-sidedly.

"The pirate main ship escaped." Just as the Ming army's bird ship and the pirate clutch were fighting, the pirate fleet led by Aha actually set sail and fled.

I saw five or six three-masted pirate ships sailing towards the distant sea.

Without any hesitation or hesitation, he actually left behind more than a dozen pirate Clippers and pirate accomplices behind him.

"After all, it's just a group of bandits on the sea, with no morality at all." Qin Yu looked at the pirate ship fleeing in the distance with contempt.

"Sir, should our army pursue us?" a deputy general asked.

"Don't chase the enemy with poverty." Qin Yu shook his head.

"After this battle, I believe the other party remembered it too." Qin Yu sneered at the pirate Clippers who were beaten to pieces on the sea not far away and the three-masted ship burning.

Seeing that the pirates were beaten away cleanly by the Ming army navy, the sailors and mercenaries on several long-sea merchant ships also cheered.

"God, is this really your Ming naval warship? Why is it stronger than the East India Company's armed merchant ship?" Anderson stood on the deck and looked at the Ming army warship in the distance with a look of surprise.

The majestic Tiger Warship and the 12-pound long cannon were unforgettable to him.

"Then you have to thank the Queen's ship you East India Company gave me." Zhao Tianming, the merchant ship owner, walked to the deck with a smile on his face and said to Anderson.

"How is the casualties?" Zhao Tianming asked the mercenaries on the side with concern.

"Only two brothers were injured by stray bullets, and one side of the sail was broken." A mercenary chief reported to Zhao Tianming.

"I don't know the situation of other merchant ships, but I guess there should be nothing serious. After all, the Ming army navy arrived quite in time." The mercenary chief looked like he had survived the disaster.

Just now, the mercenaries on the deck had already drawn their guns and swords.

As a result, at the critical moment, the Ming Navy arrived.

"Hurry up and carry the injured brother down. The storm and waves on the sea are big and wet. If the wound is not treated quickly, it will worsen." Zhao Tianming quickly ordered the sailors to send the two injured soldiers down.

"Thanks to your musket team, otherwise our long-sea merchant ships would not have been able to hold on to the Ming Navy." Zhao Tianming smiled and patted the mercenary on the shoulder.

"We are all working for the Ming Dynasty." The mercenary chief said seriously.

Most of the mercenaries on the Sihai merchant ship were veterans who retreated from the Luzon Ming army.

These soldiers either retired due to injuries or were expelled from military service for violating military rules.

In short, in order not to let them be idle, the Ming court directly packaged it and gave it to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce as a mercenary, and by the way it also made a considerable mercenary expense.

"Thanks to you this time, after the Musketeers returned to Lavag, every gunner rewarded five silver dollars." Zhao Tianming would reward him for his contributions, and he was not stingy with these mercenaries.

"Then I'll thank the ship owner Zhao." The mercenary was overjoyed, and the mercenaries beside him cheered when they heard this.

On the contrary, the Ming Navy officers and soldiers who were salvaging pirates in the water nearby were neglected.

More than a dozen pirate ships and more than two hundred pirates were beaten by the Ming army in one fell swoop.

In addition to more than fifty people who were killed or drowned by stray bullets, more than one hundred and fifty people became prisoners of the Ming army.

However, they are basically local natives or East Asians.

The red-haired ghosts are basically invisible, they must be some cannon fodder left by Aha.

"How are our army's casualties?" asked a deputy general Miao Qianchao, a assistant chief.
