Chapter 1490: Rooted
South Seas, Cebu Island, a sunny day.
Bang!
A cannonball weighing more than a dozen pounds slammed into the hull of the three-masted gunboat, causing the entire hull to shake and cause a large group of people on board to fall to the ground.
Ah Wu slammed heavily on the deck, and his forehead immediately bulged a meat bag, and he got up from the deck, pointing at the Spanish warship in front of him with a fierce look and ordering: "Quick, bomb them!" ”
The four Thor guns on the bow were facing the Spanish ship in front, which had just been filled with shells, and the fuses were crackling and burning rapidly as the speed was adjusted at a good angle.
At this moment, a three-masted gunboat was chasing a Spanish warship, and the Spanish battleship in front of it was constantly fighting back, but the firepower was obviously inferior to that of the three-masted gunboat.
Bang!
The three-masted gunboat bit the Spanish warship in front of it tightly, and a tongue of fire erupted from the barrel, and a cannonball weighing more than ten pounds smashed heavily into the Spanish warship, smashing a large hole in the deck immediately.
Yes......
A Spanish soldier who had lost a leg was holding the blood-gushing leg and making a final wail.
Bang!
A bomb slammed into the stern, sending shattered wood chips flying into the air, and people being knocked overboard. However, more shells fell to the surface of the sea, splashing a column of water nearly ten meters high.
On the other side, the two ships collided with each other, and the crews of both sides were also overturned.
"Bird's Gun!"
Shen Jun got up from the deck and shouted loudly to his men.
As the words fell, a team of dozens of people gathered, and raised their flintlock pistols in their hands, pointing at the Spanish soldiers who were still in chaos on the deck of the enemy ship.
The Spanish soldiers, who were also well-trained, also quickly climbed up, and when they were ready to light the red rope to shoot, a broadside battle ensued.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It's just that the flintlock pistol here took the lead in the first step, and when it gently hooked off the trigger, one buckshot after another shot at the Spanish soldiers who were less than ten meters away.
Rows of Spaniards fell, and Shen Jun had already taken the lead, rushing to the deck of the Spanish warship with swords and axes, slashing and slashing the Spanish soldiers in front of them, blood splattered all over their bodies.
Between the lightning and flint, the two sides had already started a fierce battle, and before the Spaniards could react, Shen Jun had already led people to rush to the enemy formation and kill.
In this sea area, the two sides launched an unprecedented fierce battle, in addition to the combined fleet biting another Spanish warship, there was a battle on the dock.
"Captain, the firepower of these Ming people is too fierce, our ship is almost unable to hold it!" A navigator looked at the ship's hull and said in a loud voice to the captain in the's hat.
Seeing this tragic situation, Miguel López Gasby knew that it was impossible to retake the castle on Cebu Island, and if they continued to fight, I am afraid that all of them would have to be confessed here.
Unlike those adventurers, he was a regular government soldier who was directly subordinate to the Spanish government.
Their king, Philip II, did not hesitate to break the Treaty of Zaragoza with the Portuguese and sent his fleet to the South Seas in order to share the spice trade with the Portuguese.
As everyone knows, he was fiercely counterattacked by the natives of the East, especially the equipment of the fleet of the self-proclaimed Ming Kingdom was only stronger than them, not weaker, so that their plan to take root in Frost and Fog Island was ruined, let alone to open up a new colony here.
"Withdraw!"
Although Miguel Lopez Gasby had a lot of unwillingness in his heart, he just saw that all fronts were at a disadvantage, so he could only grit his teeth and give orders with hatred.
On this trip, their fleet consisted of five ships, one of which touched the reef while crossing the ocean. Now, three more ships have been folded here, and only one ship is left to flee to the east.
Shen Jun had just captured a Spanish warship and was about to work together to deal with Miguel López Gasby's warship, but saw the Spanish warship fleeing towards the east.
He didn't choose to continue the pursuit, but gritted his teeth and put down his cruel words: "These Spains are really damned, if you see them next time, Lao Tzu will definitely take them all!" ”
"Let's go back! This Spanish warship is really difficult, and this battle is not easy! Ah Wu stood on the deck of another three-masted gunboat, with a bandage on his arm, and shouted loudly at Shen Jun.
The Combined Fleet returned to the docks, where a group of men had been standing for a long time, and the ground was covered in blood, and there were even some stumps and broken legs on the ground.
Guanghaiwei Baihu Lin Lei and the chief Raduhar were all colored, and Lin Zhengyang next to him was better. It was with Lin Zhengyang's help that they were able to defend the fortress on Kirishima and not let the Spaniards succeed in taking it.
"Thank you for your help, our joint business group will remember the kindness of Brother Tai!" Shen Jun stepped off the boat and thanked Lin Zhengyang on behalf of the United Business Group.
"Don't dare, thanks to the help of the eldest lady in the past, I was able to continue to go south to find the lord! Today's move is just a modest effort! Lin Zhengyang did not dare to forget the kindness of the tiger girl, and also returned the salute.
"Brother Lin, how about you please go inside?" Shen Jun saw that the war was over, so he invited him.
Lin Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
Due to the impact of the typhoon, the fort here has a huge hole. The menacing Spanish fleet took advantage of the attack on the fortress of Cebu Island, and they once destroyed the fort, so that the place lost its most solid support.
Fortunately, Lin Zhengyang's men happened to be here to help resist, and the combined warship arrived in time, which withstood wave after wave of attacks by the Spaniards. It wasn't until the sea returned to calm that they had a big collision.
In this head-to-head confrontation with the Spanish fleet, the combined fleet was considered to have won the final victory, causing the Spanish to suffer heavy losses, and they will definitely not be involved here again in the near future.
With the warm sun shining on Luzon, the island that has survived many natural disasters is rejuvenated and everything seems to be back to its former state.
On the seventh day, the Cantonese grain ships finally arrived at Union Port.
With the smooth delivery of rice and grain, all the problems in the United City were immediately solved. Most importantly, this time, the vicious pirates of the Sea Ghost Seven were eliminated, and the Spanish fleet was repulsed, so that the United Merchants Group took deeper roots in this land.
