    In Goa, at the mouth of the Zuari Sea, the weather is sunny and sunny, and the sky is clear blue, but the thick smell of gunpowder smoke is constantly permeating the sea.

    ¡°Dong dong~¡±

    Along with the rumbling sound of shelling, billowing white smoke rose from the battleships, and shells whizzed past in the air.

    King Ning¡¯s warships formed a formation on the sea area. On both sides of the huge warships, rows of cannons spit out flames, and dense projectiles flew towards the Portuguese warships like rain.

    "Left full rudder~"

    "Full speed ahead~"

    "Shorten the distance as soon as possible and rush out!"

    Vasco felt the huge water pillars rising from the sea around him. His face was very ugly. The Ming people's artillery had a farther range than theirs, and their attacks were more intensive. The key was that there were so many artillery pieces that they fired.  The speed is also faster.

    In addition, the warships of the Ming Dynasty are larger and more numerous than theirs. If they really fight with the Ming Dynasty, they might have to account for all of their dozens of warships here.

    So his plan was to rush out, wait until the distance was close, and then attack the Ming people severely several times to let the Ming people know how powerful he was and not fight back when beaten. This was not the style and tradition of bandits.

    If it weren¡¯t for the huge disparity in strength, he would have fought to the end with the Ming people in front of him.

    People who go to sea in this era are basically bandits, gangsters, hooligans, or down-and-out nobles, etc. In short, they are not easy to mess with.

    Behind the Portuguese, the ships of the King of Shu were also dispatched. Only the remaining eight ships were equipped with artillery, their sails were bulging, and they came towards them.

    "Hoo~"

    A round of shells roared in. Under the dense shells, several unlucky battleships were hit. The powerful inertial impact made holes in the battleships, which were also accompanied by the painful wails of the injured sailors.

    "Come on, rush out with all your strength~"

    "The Ming Dynasty's artillery is somewhat accurate~"

    When Vasco looked at the situation on his side, his eyebrows couldn't help but beat.

    The artillery of the Ming Dynasty was so accurate. From such a long distance, the hit rate was so high.

    They have no way to disperse now. In just a few rounds of salvos, some battleships on their side have been damaged. There was even one unlucky battleship that had its mast knocked down and its speed suddenly slowed down.

    ¡°Dong dong~dong dong~¡±

    As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the Ningwang battleship's attacks became more and more intensive. Under the powerful artillery shroud, the shells formed a dense rain of bullets.

    When the bullet rain falls, a column of water will inevitably rise, and at the same time, the unlucky Portuguese warship will be hit.

    " However, the artillery of this era are all solid bullets, and their power is actually quite limited. Even if it is hit by the artillery, unless it hits the core position, it will generally not be easily sunk.

    Only after weapons such as explosive bombs and fish were developed, ships became extremely fragile. Often a single fish was enough to destroy a warship.

    A dozen Portuguese warships almost rushed out to the sea despite the dense rain of bullets, and the distance between them became closer and closer.

    "Fire~"

    "Let these Ming people know how powerful we are."

    Vasco, who had been extremely frustrated, finally let out his roar and finally entered the range of their artillery. It was not easy.

    In such a short period of time, more than a dozen warships were basically defeated. Three warships had lost their combat capabilities, two were seriously injured, and the rest were more or less scarred.

    "Yeah~"

    Suddenly, the Portuguese sailors roared angrily aboard the Portuguese warships.

    The people who were licking blood from the knife's edge were all hooligans, pirates, thieves and the like. They were all extremely brave, and they entered their shooting range.

    Thick smoke suddenly rose from the Portuguese warships, and cannonballs attacked King Ning's warships one after another.

    For a moment, there was a fierce battle between the two sides.

    "You come and go with each other, and round after round of artillery fire pours towards each other."

    But as the distance got closer, the Ming Dynasty's artillery hit rate began to increase rapidly.

    With a round of unison, a large number of projectiles whizzed past.

    The Rafael where Vasco was located was attacked by seven or eight shells in an instant. All of a sudden, the battleshipGuli Country, this Guli Country is just south of Goa, very close to each other. When the time comes, you and I will have to help each other a lot.  "

    King Ning nodded, thought about it and said.

    Help is not free of course. Now it¡¯s time to carve up the territory. King Ning of the Guli Kingdom is interested in it, so he naturally wants to talk to the King of Shu first to avoid conflicts over the territory in the future.

    "Aren't you going to Africa?"

    When the King of Shu heard this, he thought about it and asked.

    "Of course I want to go to Africa, but there is no contradiction in occupying Guri Country. By occupying Guri Country, I can first establish a vassal state here in Guri Country and use it as a transit point. Then it will be easy to go to Africa."

    King Ning thought for a while and said.

    "That's a good idea."

    "That's fine. When the time comes, your Ning Kingdom and my Shu Kingdom will be next to each other. Then we will send troops together to wipe out the local indigenous people. After conquering these indigenous people, we can start to build a vassal state."

    Zhu Binhan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Although he was a little reluctant, this Guli country was even better than the Goa area. Now it was cheaper than King Ning, and the two vassal states were so close. From now on,  Expansion is bound to involve some conflict.

    "But who said that he was not as strong as Ning Wang, and he also received help from Ning Wang?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
