    It is winter in the Northern Hemisphere in the Bay of Biscay. The waves in the Atlantic Ocean have become more turbulent, and the biting cold wind makes people not want to sail in such weather for even one day.

    "Damn Spanish traitors and Ming people~"

    John stood on the deck and couldn't help but wrap up his tattered clothes. He was a civilian at the lowest level in England. He was a sailor by profession and occasionally appeared as a pirate and in the English navy.

    Recently, the Ming Empire¡¯s fleet arrived in Europe, winning consecutive battles, defeating the Portuguese fleet, cleaning up the French and English ships blocking the Bay of Biscay in the Biscay Sea, and even bombarding the ports and cities along the French coast very arrogantly.

    This completely angered the French and England. After discussions between the two countries, the two countries also jointly formed a huge fleet of 150 warships, more than 3,000 cannons, and more than 30,000 people to prepare for the Bay of Biscay.  Here the fleets of the Ming Dynasty and Spain were annihilated in one fell swoop.

    John is a member of this huge fleet.

    Of course, although it is flying the flags of France and England, this fleet does not have a few regular navies from the two countries. It is basically composed of merchant ships and pirates from England and France.

    For this reason, King Henry VII of the Tudor Dynasty of England and King Louis XII of France promised them that as long as the war was victorious, they would seize the trading rights with the Ming Dynasty from the Spanish. At that time, merchants in England and France could obtain countless  You can make a lot of money by selling all the Ming Dynasty products.

    They also promised the pirates that as long as they won the war, they would be issued privateering licenses, become legal pirates, and receive state support.

    Under such a call, the pirates and merchants of England and France cheered for joy, almost came out in full force, and quickly gathered together, braving the severe cold, preparing to defeat the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish fleet in one fell swoop.

    At this time, the relationship between the French and the British was quite good, because French King Louis XII married the daughter of British King Henry VII, which was considered a honeymoon period, which greatly improved the grievances between the two countries during the Hundred Years War.

    However, the actions of the French and British naturally could not be hidden from the Spaniards. In order to meet this battle, the Spaniards also made active preparations.

    Not only did they do their best to raise warships from their own country, but they also purchased, hired, and leased ships from Portugal, which had surrendered and surrendered. All ships were concentrated in the Bay of Biscay.

    In the Bay of Biscay, two huge fleets silently moved towards each other in perfect agreement with each other.

    "The waves in the Atlantic Ocean are much rougher than those in the Pacific Ocean~"

    Tian Erniu's eyes were a little dark. It was already the sixteenth year of Hongzhi and it was the first month. Everyone should have been happily celebrating the festival with their families in Ming Dynasty, but they could only risk their lives in this foreign country.  Fighting the cold.

    Fortunately, Spain is still very welcoming to everyone. After spending a few days cleaning up the French and British people in the Bay of Biscay, they happily rested in the Spanish port city on the Bay of Biscay.  .

    The Spanish not only brought abundant food, but also enthusiastic Spanish girls, so that the entire fleet exuded a lazy atmosphere.

    Well, no one wants to go to sea to fight in such weather, but there is no way, the news has come, the French and British are coming menacingly, they must be defeated before they can return to the Ming Dynasty.

    "It's not bad, the really scary thing is the South Golden Continent and South Africa, where the storms and waves are really scary."

    Jiang Liang said with a smile, the cold wind coming in the face was like a knife cutting, making people want to hide under the quilt, hug the white Spanish girl and have a beautiful sleep.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it too, I must go and see it if I have the chance.¡±

    The two chatted very casually, not too worried about the upcoming battle.

    According to the information obtained by the Spanish, the fleet that Britain and France pieced together this time, although it sounds scary, has more than 150 warships and more than 30,000 people.

    But they are all composed of a ragtag group of merchants and pirates, and there is no regular army at all. There is no problem in fighting small-scale wars, but for such large-scale naval battles, they are obviously not professional.

    What's more, the strength of their own side is not bad. In addition to the twenty Ming warships they led, the Spaniards have also pieced together more than eighty warships these days, and there are hundreds of warships in total.  .All the people on the warship were gone, leaving only a few lonely people gasping for breath.

    The twenty Ming warships were constantly harvesting the enemy's warships. As the distance got closer and closer, the hit rate became higher and higher. In less than two hours, more than half of the warships were  Was sunk by Tian Erniu's warship.

    And when the sun gradually came to the western sky, against the backdrop of the sunset, the Spaniards began to cheer, and they won again.

    Once again, victory in the sea battle was achieved.

    Although this victory was not easy to come by, more than 80 warships and more than 50 warships were destroyed in the battle between the two sides. In the end, less than half of the more than 20,000 Spanish matadors remained.

    But they still won, winning the Battle of Biscay. The coastal ports and cities of England and France completely opened their arms to the Ming Fleet and the Spanish Fleet.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
