Chapter 655 Spanish Armada

July 24, Gibraltar port.

The Port of Gibraltar is located on the north shore of the Strait of Gibraltar and is just a small port. The ocean-going fleet stayed in the port for three days, and there was still no progress in searching for the city of Atlantis under the sea.

The fleet's long stay has already aroused the vigilance of the Spanish fleet. Ouyang Shuo clearly felt that there were more and more Spanish warships patrolling the sea area of ​​the port every day.

"Look for another day, and leave if you can't find it!" Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart. Although he had designated a specific area for Xiaoqing based on the information disclosed in the previous life forum, it would take a great chance to find it.

On the eve of leaving, Xiaoqing finally came back with something like a gas mask dangling from her mouth. Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed when he saw it. He knew that the city of Atlantis was finally found!

This "gas mask", together with the special items obtained by Pique in the previous life, are all unique to the Atlantean civilization, and its real name is "underwater breathing apparatus".

With it, players can move freely on the seabed.

"Good job!"

Ouyang Shuo took off the underwater rebreather from Xiaoqing's mouth and gave a thumbs up at the same time. Four days and four nights of continuous searching on the bottom of the sea, even if Xiao Qing was a sub-divine beast, he would be exhausted.

In order to find Atlantis, the little guy tried his best this time, and he must have suffered a lot.

"year~~~"

The little guy was as arrogant as pity, he raised his head to look at the sky at forty-five degrees, but the satisfaction in his eyes could not be concealed. What's funny is that although Xiaoqing has evolved into a unicorn subspecies, her cry is still that of a Nian beast.

One person and one beast, unusually harmonious.

Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze. Only then did he notice that Xiaoqing's back was bleeding, and a large piece of her back was rotten, and all the scales fell off, exposing the flesh and even bones inside.

Being seriously injured, the little guy didn't even hum.

Ouyang Shuo was so perceptive, he immediately recognized that this wound was definitely not from a giant beast fighting, but from a firearm, to be precise, it should be from a cannonball.

"Who did it?" Ouyang Shuo couldn't hide his anger.

"Woo~~~"

Xiaoqing turned her head and looked outside the port.

Ouyang Shuo looked up and saw a Spanish warship approaching quickly, and there was a faint clamor from the ship.

"It's them?!"

Ouyang Shuo had basically determined that the culprit was the Spanish fleet.

"year~~~"

Xiaoqing nodded, with hatred in her eyes.

Ouyang Shuo's excited mood suddenly calmed down, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he touched Xiao Qing's head, "Don't worry, boy, I will avenge you, you go down and bandage it first."

"Woo~~~"

Xiaoqing obediently left with the military doctor who rushed over.

As Ouyang Shuo sent Xiaoqing away, his eyes became completely cold, without turning his head, he said indifferently: "Send the order, everyone will be there, and the fleet will enter the first-level combat readiness immediately."

"promise!"

Chen Dameng, who had been following Ouyang Shuo, was also angry when he saw Xiaoqing's miserable condition. In the Battle of the Star Kingdom, Xiaoqing showed his might and killed the white lion in one fell swoop, but this group of rude soldiers is rare.

Now their "baby" is being bombarded with artillery, how can they not be angry? !

After Chen Dameng saluted, he strode away.

In less than ten minutes, the entire ocean-going fleet "woke up" completely.

After the fleet entered the Mediterranean Sea, under Ouyang Shuo's request, they kept a low profile on purpose. When they docked at the port, they also appeared as a commercial fleet, without any smell of gunpowder at all.

Now is the time to "shine the sword"!

Archers, sword and shield soldiers, artillerymen and other arms quickly took their positions, the golden dragon battle flag was fluttering in the wind, and the war drums were beating. Ouyang Shuo's motto in life is, "I won't offend anyone if they don't attack me; if anyone offends me, I won't leave any!"

When the ocean-going fleet was ready to go, the Spanish battleship rushed into the port in a hurry and headed straight for Longshou.

On the battleship, a middle-aged man with a white hat on his head and a long black beard shouted at Longshouhao, "Hey, have you seen a blue monster?"

Good fellow, this person actually doesn't pay attention to the ocean fleet at all.

No wonder this person is so arrogant, the Spaniards regard the Mediterranean Sea as their back garden. The port of Gibraltar is also in Spain, which further fueled their arrogance.

Restoring the glory of the ocean power has always been the long-cherished wish of Spanish players. In their eyes, how can the backward eastern countries compare to their invincible fleet at sea? !

"Xiaoqing was injured by you?" Ouyang Shuo's tone was flat.

"Xiaoqing?" The middle-aged man couldn't turn the corner at once, and then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it is that blue monster. Damn it, it can escape after being shot by us. It is extraordinary at first glance." If you catch it, you will be able to sell it for a good price. Where is the beast now?"

"..."

Hearing this, Longshou's twenty cannons were all aimed at the Spanish warship. Ouyang Shuo looked at the other party as if he was looking at a dead person, "It's my contracted beast."

"Uh!" The middle-aged man just woke up, and finally he was not completely confused by desire, "Since this is the case, then forget it. But next time, take care of your contracted beast and don't let it run around."

"Go back!" The middle-aged man turned his head and ordered.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "What? You hurt my contract beast, so you want to leave like this?"

"What do you think? Don't forget that this is the Mediterranean Sea, and it's the territory of our Spaniards."

The middle-aged man's attitude is still unruly, and his tone is already a little stiff. After finally meeting a strange beast, it was nothing in the end, which already made the middle-aged man quite depressed.

In his mind, if he didn't force the cyan monster over, he was giving the opponent face. How could I have thought that depending on what the other party meant, it was as if he would not give in.

"Save your life!" Ouyang Shuo's voice was still flat.

"Haha!" The middle-aged man seemed to hear a big joke, "Have you lost your mind?"

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, he didn't want to waste any more words.

"fire!"

Zheng He was sensible and ordered immediately.

The sound of the rumbling artillery drowned out the ridicule, panic, cursing, etc. of the middle-aged people. The Dragon Head suddenly attacked, and the Spanish warship was caught off guard, and was sunk by artillery before it had time to fight back.

The "Invincible Battleship" sank slowly to the bottom of the sea, along with the so-called "Glory of Spain".

The other Spanish warships patrolling the outer waters of the port heard the rumbling artillery, reacted immediately, assembled quickly, and sailed aggressively towards the port.

"Fix formation!" Zheng He ordered.

The flag was waved, and the ocean-going fleets that were docked side by side quickly transformed into a battle formation. The formation of the "Flying Swallow Spreading Wings" that shocked the world in the Ming Dynasty first appeared in the Mediterranean Sea, showing its majesty.

"Attack!"

The fleet quickly left the port and rushed towards the opposite Spanish warship.

There are only about 20 Spanish warships patrolling the periphery of the port, which is not enough to look at in front of the ocean-going fleet. They dared to rush over, relying on the support of the Spanish Armada.

In their thinking, the Shanhai City Ocean Fleet did not dare to provoke an all-out war between the two sides. Rushing over in a hurry was just to seek justice for the sunk battleship.

But they were wrong!

Ouyang Shuo knew that when the first Spanish warship was sunk, the conflict between the two was already irreconcilable. The ocean-going fleet came with the desire for peaceful trade, but it did not mean that it had to compromise.

True peace often requires the baptism of war. Blindly submissive will not bring peace.

If Shanhai City wants to completely open up the great route, it cannot avoid the Spanish fleet entrenched in the Mediterranean Sea.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo didn't intend to have a showdown with the opponent so soon, but the development of the situation has made Ouyang Shuo no longer able to think too much, so he must fight back.

"Since we've done it, let's do it thoroughly." Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself, "It's time for the proud Spaniards to realize that their so-called glory has long been outdated!"

The Mediterranean, not the Spanish Mediterranean.

In order to maintain the smooth flow of ocean trade routes, the Shanhai City navy must deploy warships in the Mediterranean Sea to show their muscles and presence.

Ouyang Shuo had never found a chance before. The "Xiaoqing Incident" was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, how could Ouyang Shuo miss it. The situation has evolved to the present, revenge for Xiaoqing has become a secondary factor.

...

An hour, just an hour.

The more than 20 Spanish warships that rushed up were completely wiped out, and the wreckage of the warships floated on the sea.

After receiving the news, the port of Gibraltar was in complete chaos. Presumably the main force of the Spanish Invincible Battleship has received the news at this time and is rushing here.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Zheng He asked.

In this battle, although the ocean-going fleet won, Zheng He's expression was not relaxed.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time an ocean-going fleet has fought against an opponent of the same level. The artillery and guns equipped by the Spanish fleet are one level higher than that of the ocean-going fleet, both in quantity and quality.

Although the ocean-going fleet was fighting more and fighting less, in order to destroy the opponent, it paid a full price of three warships and more than ten red horse boats.

The result of the war was enough to wake Zheng He up. The ocean-going fleet still has a long way to go in the future, and it is not an easy task to truly dominate the ocean.

You must know that the strongest fleet in Europe is not the Spanish fleet, but the British fleet.

"Conquer the port of Gibraltar first, and prepare for a tough battle!" Ouyang Shuo ordered.

"Understood!" Zheng He nodded.

The port of Gibraltar is just a small port. Although it has an excellent strategic location, it cannot stop the shelling of the ocean-going fleet. In the afternoon of that day, the port was completely brought under the control of Shanhai City.

At the same time, a system announcement rang in the Spanish players' ears.

"System announcement: Qiyue Wuyi, the lord of the Chinese region, led his troops to capture the port of Gibraltar and provoked a national war. Spain entered the national war mode, and the royal city of Madrid entered the second-level alert state. Please check the specific situation by yourself!"
