Luzon is not a mysterious place, and people often travel to Luzon to do trade. The trip to Luzon is led by someone who is familiar with the route.

After five days of rough seas.

"My lord, the road ahead is soon to reach Luzon. It may be a fleet of Frankies! ”

The name given to the Spaniards by the Ming people, Frankies.

Li Si rubbed his forehead, reducing the symptoms of taking a boat a little, it was the first time he had been on a boat for so long, and he felt like he wanted to die.

Hearing about the possible encounter of the enemy fleet, expressing disdain.

Although only the fleet that came together only had ten transport ships under his command, and the navy's warships came along with the transport ships, this was the first time that the volunteers had traveled far away, how could the navy let go of such a training opportunity.

Twenty warships belonging to the Navy remained on the side, and with such a large number of warships to escort them, the transport ships were not afraid of the enemy's attack at all.

The two hundred death row prisoners stayed on the ship with peace of mind, and did not dare to make any abnormal movements, which had the deterrent effect of the warship. Even if the condemned prisoners rebelled against the transport ship and hijacked it, they would immediately be bombarded.

"Come on, let the navy brothers go up and check, we'll stop and wait."

The thirty ships quickly separated, and the converted warships went to patrol the coast of Luzon, while the transports awaited orders.

There were no typhoons in the South China Sea in the spring, and Li Si docked off the coast of Luzon Island without fear of problems.

According to the guidance of the people who were familiar with the situation on Luzon, twenty warships set out to clear the Frankies of Luzon.

"In front of you is the stronghold of the Frankies, and there used to be a lot of big ships here, and we were charged tolls."

Chen De'an, a native of the Jiangnan region, was originally a pilot who followed the maritime merchants to Luzon, but was discovered by a volunteer warship some time ago outside the Pearl River estuary, and then he was robbed with the boat and people.

All the people on the ship were concentrated in one place to work as coolies, and Chen De'an was selected because of his knowledge of hydrology, especially in the South Seas.

This time, the navy set out in Luzon and brought these people over, otherwise there would be no such manpower in the talent reserve of the volunteers.

Through the telescope, Li Shan had already discovered a sea target ten miles away, and there were people with completely different hair walking around the ship, and he could also see the exposed gun muzzle of the ship.

Li Shan "informed all the flotilla and went up to shell the enemy ships." ”

If the muzzle of the cannon is not found, the battleship goes up to capture the ship, and since there is such a weapon as artillery, then it is the truth to cripple the enemy.

Li Shan had heard a sentence from the military commander, and he thought that what he said was very reasonable, and the truth was within the scope of artillery, and I heard that this was a famous quote from the chief to the navy.

If you want the enemy to be obedient, how can it be possible without a little strength, the enemy will not be stupid enough to give up his weapons and surrender, and resistance is a certainty.

It was expected that the enemy would resist, so the first reaction of the navy when it encountered the enemy was to open fire, and first cripple the enemy.

Twenty warships, four in a squad, went straight to the enemy in the distance.

Although Spain declined, its power was not comparable to that of the Dutch, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Clark galleon, 48 meters long, with a displacement of 600 tons, was armed with 22 24-pounder guns and 8 18-pounder guns.

The Clark hull had ample cabins for cargo storage and accommodation for the crew. In addition, there are multiple decks to accommodate heavy guns, and it is also convenient to fire side-by-side side guns to increase combat power. At the same time, it can withstand attacks from small ships.

The disadvantage is that due to its large hull, which requires many people to operate at the same time, each Clark sailing ship requires at least fifty sailors to maneuver the ship properly.

The Volunteers Navy came and soon came into sight, and the two sides could spot each other with the naked eye.

Five Clark sailboats cruised the seas and encountered a foul-hearted Volunteers navy.

When the Spanish fleet was changing direction, the disadvantage of sail power steering lost its advantage in front of the paddle ship Fuku, and the wind direction was southwest, which was not conducive to both sides, and both sides could not do anything to seize the upper hand advantage.

But this situation is in favor of the volunteers, and the paddle wheel already has twenty men, providing power like a bicycle, and adding additional power.

Relying on its agility and speed, the ship had already approached the middle of the Spanish fleet.

The soldiers on the Spanish fleet focused their attention on turning the bow of the ship upside down, and when the fleet led by Li Shan was less than a thousand meters away from the Francophone fleet, they opened fire first.

The five groups of the Volunteers had their own targets, and at the same time they opened fire with 25 guns on one side of the artillery.

Of course, twenty-five guns could not have been fired at the same time, otherwise the huge recoil would have dispersed the Fu ship.

"Boom!"

rumble

The artillery attacked directly at the rear of the Spanish fleet, which was adjusting its direction to expose the flank.

"Fleet! Fleet! The enemy's fleet! ”

"Hell, our flanking enemy ships are firing!"

"The enemy fires, turn quickly, quickly!"

Li Shan looked through the binoculars and looked at the frightened sailors on the enemy ship, Li Shan smiled at the corner of his mouth, the preemptive strike had an absolute advantage at this moment, and how big or small the volunteers were, four battleships aimed at an enemy ship.

The Volunteers gained the right to open their guns and desperately poured shells on the enemy's ships.

At this time, it is important to kill the enemy and not give the enemy any room to fight back.

It was not that the Spanish fleet did not want to return fire, the artillery was fixed in a certain direction, the steering was unfavorable, and even if the guns were fired, it was useless, they could only withstand the shelling.

The soldiers on each of the Volunteers' ships roared!

The shells whizzed towards the enemy's ships, some hit them, and many more fell on the sea, rolling up columns of waves.

The distance between the two sides was soon reduced to 800 meters, and because of the lack of steering and flexibility, the Spanish fleet was reluctant to withstand the shelling, and did not dare to turn around and flee.

If Spain turned and fled, leaving no doubt completely exposed to the enemy's guns, and the massive ships were slower than the Fuku, it would be a death-seeking act, and even the most stupid commander would not dare to do so. I can only turn desperately and find the "T" advantage.

The advantage of the "T" was that the ships wanted to use the guns mounted on the side of the ships to aim at the bow or stern position of the enemy ships, and this tactic was used because of the position of the guns installed in this era.

Of course, such tactics will be useless in later generations.

Because of the flexibility of the volunteer warships, they stubbornly guarded the "T" attack position, and the artillery kept bombarding.

The huge smoke after the artillery was fired, which was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, did not affect the field of vision.

Half an hour later, the Spanish ships surrendered, because no matter how hard they tried, they were still unable to ask for the result of the attack. The huge Clark galleon could only be beaten passively.

Two of the Clark galleons were destroyed, and one Clark sailboat was attacked below the water line and was slowly silent.

If you don't leave the sailboat in a hurry and sink in thirty minutes at most, don't expect a sailboat without a watertight box to be much resistant to sinking, of course, the Volunteers' warships also don't have watertight boxes, and if they are attacked by artillery once or twice below the waterline, they are also in danger of sinking.

At the beginning, Chen Zijian was greedy for a simple version of the lucky boat to be built quickly, and there was no process of watertight box.

Li Shan lowered his eyebrows, saw the white flag of the opposite ship, and knew that this was a means for the other party to surrender, so he asked the fleet to stop the shelling and send the ships up to capture the enemy.

The remaining ships maintained the advantage of firing guns, aiming at the enemy fleet, and if they tried to attack their own brothers who had taken prisoners, they would always have artillery support.

The capture process went smoothly, and within half an hour of the artillery attack, more than 200 Spaniards were killed and wounded, and the personnel of the five Clark galleons were about 500, and the battle was 200 lost and had no ability to escape, and surrendered as the only way to leave for their lives.

The Spanish fleet on Luzon was, of course, more than five Clark galleons, part of what happened to the Volunteers.

Li Shan smiled smugly when he saw his brother tie up those white people and catch the boat.

The navy for Europeans, whether Spanish, Dutch, uniformly called whites.

Li Shan" ruled Li Si and them, they could go ashore and find a seaside stronghold to set up camp. ”

The navy escorted Li Si and them to Luzon, and they were responsible for the rest of the matter.

Li Si was behind, and what he saw was unknown, only bursts of thick white smoke and the sound of artillery could be seen.

It didn't take long for the Navy to leave for an hour or so, and finally saw a battleship returning.

Li Si, as Chen Zijian's back-ermother, naturally has rewards, and the current Li Si's watch is one of the rewards.

After receiving the news of the return of the battleship, Li Si and his people quickly arrived at Luzon Island and officially entered the big island coveted by Chen Zijian.

In addition to Spain, Luzon has a large number of ***.

In later generations, the Philippines had a population of several million, and through the trade between the East and the West, the Middle East stayed in Southeast Asia and Fujian.

Li Si's mission, *** is also his goal, on Luzon, humanoid creatures except for the Ming people, are Li Si's goals.

The death row prisoners who followed over wanted to be free, each of them had to kill twenty heads, and then for each humanoid creature killed, they would be rewarded with one hundred coins.

As for whether he will be attacked by the Spaniards, this Li Si is not afraid at all, five hundred volunteers have a mini gun and twenty artillery pieces, and this kind of force cannot be destroyed casually.

Li Si will resist on the island for a maximum of ten days, and the second group of personnel will be transferred to him for command.

A week later, Chen Zijian received the news that the navy had returned and that Li Si had successfully landed on the island.

Immediately, a second group of 500 volunteers was organized to go over, and a route from Maoming to Luzon was opened, and ships would go there every day to transport materials. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} 》，; Talk about life and find a confidant~
