Anthony listened, just nodded, his face still a little grim. Obviously, he and West, who arrived in Manila earlier, should have a different idea.

When the Spaniard saw him like this, he guessed the reason in his heart, so he comforted Antony and said: "With the reinforcements of His Excellency the Governor, the total number of warships on both sides of our two sides is almost a hundred, and we will definitely be able to defeat the fleet of the Ming Kingdom at sea!" Their so-called lucky ships can't compare to our sailboats at all......"

Hearing him speak in his ear, Anthony withdrew his gaze from afar, turned his head to look at him, and said, "This Ming Empire in the Far East is different from other Far Eastern natives, although their fortune ships are more suitable for transporting goods at sea, and they are not good at fighting. However, this is their coastal waters, and this attack on Luzon will definitely not make a small fuss! ”

Hearing this, the Spaniard swallowed his saliva, and when he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, he heard Anthony's tone be a little heavy and said: "What's more, the Portuguese are still colluding with the Ming Kingdom. The strength of our enemies must not be underestimated! ”

Seeing that he repeatedly emphasized this, the Spaniard had no choice but to echo: "That is, their strength must be there, but this is Luzon, it is not easy for them to come from Annam, we are waiting for work at ease, and it is impossible to be afraid of them in the war at sea!" ”

Anthony listened, but this time he nodded and said: "Naval battle is our advantage, and it is because of this that I sent ten warships to Manila to meet you first to ensure that this advantage will not be lost." In addition, I personally led the army to hurry here this time, and I should be able to arrive before the Ming army attacked Manila. After strengthening the strength of the fleet, you will be able to rest assured. If we can't defeat the Ming army in this way, then there will be no place for us in this Nanyang. ”

The Spaniard always felt that Antony's attitude was a little pessimistic, so he was a little disapproving, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, let go of a hundred hearts, those lucky ships of the Ming army, the previous wind and waves, must not be able to go to sea." Now that the storm has only stopped, the Ming army is worried repeatedly, and it must be confirmed before going to sea. I guess they may all be still in Hoi An, but it's still early in Luzon! ”

"yes, God forbid this time!" Anthony listened, nodded and said, "The wind and waves have been a bit strong before, which has restricted the Ming army's access to the sea. By the time they confirmed that the sea was calm before heading out to sea, we had arrived in Manila. ”

"That's for sure!" When the Spaniard heard this, he pointed his hand in the direction of Manila with confidence, and said with a smile, "Go further, ......."

When he said this, he suddenly couldn't speak, as if his throat had been choked and he couldn't speak.

Anthony heard a little strange and turned his head to look in the direction of his gaze. But they saw on the distant sea, from the side of Lubang Island, rows of boats sailing out and coming towards them.

This distance, in fact, is not very far, and you can see at a glance what kind of ships those ships in front are.

After being stuck for a while, the Spaniard finally spoke again, and said in a relaxed tone: "It should be our Governor-General's Excellency who is not at ease, and has sent a warship to pick us up!" ”

He was rightful to say this, of course, because the ships were all sailing ships and flying the Spanish flag.

Anthony was also relieved, the first time he saw it just now was that he was subconsciously startled, and he thought that he had been ambushed by the Ming fleet.

"Your Excellency the Governor is a little distracted!" Antony came to his senses and smiled and said to the Spaniard, "The most important thing now is the defense of Manila. As for my side, the Ming army probably didn't expect the appearance of our fleet at all, so what is there to worry about! ”

The Spaniard thought the same thing in his heart, but on the surface, he couldn't say that, so he smiled and said to Anthony: "You are guests from afar, and it is the first time you have cooperated." Besides, it's not that far from Manila, and it's nothing to greet His Excellency the Governor, who may be in those ......."

When he said this, he suddenly felt that Anthony's face was a little wrong, not the kind that was relaxed and happy just now, but the kind that was cold and a little nervous.

So, he subconsciously turned his head and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, what's the matter, it's impossible to think that these are the fleets of the Ming Kingdom......

"They're in a battle formation!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Anthony loudly, "This is very wrong, they can't think that we are the Ming fleet!" ”

If this is an out-and-out conspiracy by the Spaniards, with the intention of defeating the Dutch fleet in the South Seas and thus dominating the South Seas, it does not seem reliable!

For a moment, he couldn't understand why the oncoming fleet had to put on a battle formation? It's not possible, it's because of habit, right?

The Spaniard couldn't understand it, but the fleet was indeed in a battle formation, so he explained a little embarrassedly: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, or ......."

Before he had finished speaking, he saw that on the other side of Lubang Island, a number of more boats had turned out, and they followed behind the ships in front of him, and drove this way too.

"Fukufue?" Before he could speak, Anthony had already lost his voice.

Fu ships are the type of ships in the East, and they are basically owned by the Ming Kingdom. There are so many lucky ships, then they can only belong to the Ming Kingdom.

The idea came to them when the sailing ships, which were already very close to them, lowered the Spanish flag and raised another flag.

"Portugal!" When Anthony saw it, he was immediately shocked, his face turned pale, and he quickly turned his head and shouted: "Combat preparation, combat preparation......

At this time, he didn't have time to think about why the Ming army and the Portuguese alliance appeared here, and his mind was already very nervous about how to fight this war.

Unexpected, so much so that they lost the first opportunity. The entire fleet was still in column mode, and coupled with their invincibility in the South Seas, they relaxed their vigilance and were not ready to fight at any time.

The sudden battle alarm made the Dutch confused. Many Dutchmen scolded the Portuguese for treachery while preparing for war, and even approached the battleship pretending to be Spaniards in advance, which is really shameless!

But fortunately, the Portuguese warships are only about twenty, and the Dutch warships are as many as thirty, and they have an advantage in the number of warships.

Anthony was also not in a panic, and immediately issued a series of orders, telling the transport ship to approach the sea first, exit the war zone, and let the battleship set up in battle formation, ready to seize the lost upper hand.

But halfway through the order, he suddenly stopped again. The two eyes were staring straight ahead, and the whole person was motionless. After a while, he suddenly ripped off his hat and shouted, "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”

There was no way, he had really understood the intentions of the Portuguese by this time, where did he dare to fight again, and quickly ordered a retreat.

The reason is actually very simple, behind the Portuguese battleships, from the back of Lubang Island, there are constantly warships coming out, and now there are more than a hundred of them as far as the eye can see, or that kind of large fortune ships, as for how many blessing ships are hidden behind, it is not clear at all.

In normal times, Anthony would not be afraid. As long as they are on the sea, no matter how big and big the Ming Guofu ship is, they will not run as fast as their sailboats at all.

But now, the Portuguese battleship has approached, if they are entangled, it will definitely be caught up by the Ming Guofu ship, so many lucky ships, close to the fight, the Dutch battleship is not iron, how to fight?

At present, we can only hope to turn around and escape quickly, and escape before the Portuguese battleship pounces!

Insidious, so fucking insidious!

However, before Antony could curse, the Portuguese battleship, with its sails full, was already approaching the Spanish battleship.

On the flagship of the Portuguese, Anders excitedly emphasized in the order: "Rush up, entangle them, don't let these Dutch hillbillies run away!" ”

All along, Portugal has been pressed and beaten by the Netherlands, and it can be said that it is very humiliating. Now, backed by the Ming Navy, he can finally raise his eyebrows and clean up these Dutchmen fiercely, how can Anders not be happy!

The other Portuguese were also very excited about the same idea, which allowed them to play their best, and rushed forward without giving the Dutch a chance to break away from the ship.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The guns on the side of the ship opened fire, and iron bullets and chain bullets were fired in all directions, falling into the water and smashing into columns of water, and when they hit the boat, wood chips and wooden blocks flew wildly. At the same time, there are the screams of the unlucky ones.

If you don't fight back after being beaten, and it's still in a downwind position, even if you can escape, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses. What's more, it's not certain whether you can really escape.

As a result, the Dutch fleet was forced to fight back, trying to retreat while fighting.

However, this battle was planned in advance, and how could it be possible for the Dutch to escape. On the flagship of the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck, gave orders with high spirits, issued military orders one after another, and all the warships rushed to the battlefield with the greatest speed.

This battle is the first battle of the Ming Navy in the South Seas, and it must also be a famous battle!

"Kill ......"

On Lubang Island, Lu Xiangsheng was on a large rock on the shore, watching this unique battle with a telescope. At this time, in his heart, for the news of Emperor Chongzhen, he was admiring and throwing himself to the ground.

I didn't expect to be able to ambush Hongyi's reinforcements on Lubang Island, so that each one can break through and prevent the Xiyi of Nanyang from converging together, and the war in Nanyang will definitely be a lot easier!

With the help of Taizu, such sharp weapons complement each other, why can't Daming dominate the world!
