Volume 4 Chapter 198 The Ming Army is mighty

Outside the port of Manila, the Nanyang Fleet of the Daming Naval Division and the Spanish Colonial Fleet confronted each other nervously, if you follow the trajectory of historical development, it must be that the Spanish Colonial Fleet is far stronger than the Daming Naval Division, but now the situation is reversed.

On the side of the Daming Naval Division, there are hundreds of large and small warships, and the artillery has reached a terrifying more than 7,000 guns.

On the other hand, on the side of the Spanish colonial fleet, there are only more than 20 ocean-going sailing ships in total, and the volume can be a little larger than the Cangshan warship, and it is like a baby in front of the strong man in front of the Fuchuan battleship of the Daming Naval Division.

Yang Cong stood proudly on the bow of the Jiazi ship, holding a telescope, looking down at the more than 20 poor "little sailing ships" in Spain, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a trace of disdain.

With this bit of strength, you dare to come to the Ming Dynasty to spread wild, you are afraid that you will underestimate today's Ming!

He glanced around cursoryly, and then ordered without hesitation: "Send the flag and order the other party to surrender, otherwise, we will open fire." ”

These words were really domineering, and the Ming army standard-bearer who waved the flag on the lookout couldn't help but show pride on his face.

The commander of the Spanish colonial fleet, Legashit, saw the flag of the Ming fleet, but his face turned green with anger, what are you kidding, surrender?

Spain is the hegemon of the seas today, the number one power in the world, and the fleet of you, an "indigenous" country in the Far East, dares to call us surrender!

He seriously suspected that the guns on the Ming warships were all fake, and even if they were real, they were probably shoddy earthen cannons, and the range and power could not be compared with their cannons at all.

Surrender, that is impossible to surrender.

He decided to talk to them first and see if he could use Spain's "prestige" to scare them away.

Soon, he also waved a flag on his side, which roughly means that there is something to say, don't fire, and we ask for negotiations.

Negotiation?

What is there to talk about, it's all said, if you don't surrender, you will fire, are you joking with me!

Yang Cong snorted coldly, and then decisively ordered: "Order, all the Fu Ship battleships put up an attack formation, aim at the enemy warship, and fire a salvo on the right side." ”

Under his order, the fleet of the Nanyang Naval Division immediately began to change formation, and the fifty Fuchuan warships were arranged in an orderly manner, gradually forming a long line more than ten miles long on the sea.

Seeing this, Li Yashibi couldn't help but be shocked, this is the prelude to a sideside salvo!

He hurriedly shouted: "Quick, all the battleships are lined up, loaded with shells, and ready to fire a salvo from the port side." ”

The battle at this time is so rigid, especially in naval battles, you can only use the side salvo to deal with the side salvo, what turn around and run, it is simply looking for death, it is very likely, before you turn around, the shells of others have already smashed over.

However, even if Li Yashi reacted quickly, it was a little late, because the sailboat could not compare with the steamer in terms of speed or turn, and the more than 20 warships on his side had not yet lined up, and the Fu Ship battleship of the Great Ming Sailor Division was already pressing towards their left front like a dragon swinging its tail.

This was followed by a terrifying roar, "Boom Boom", "Boom Boom", "Boom Boom", "Boom Boom", ......

As soon as the roar of the artillery rang out, it showed no signs of stopping, and the shells were like a raging storm against the Spanish colonial fleet, and for a moment the entire sea near the fleet exploded into a column of water that was nothing to be seen except for the sails that were several feet above the sea.

Where could the Spanish warships withstand such a blow, and before the first round of broadside salvos of fifty Fufune battleships ended, some warships began to tilt and sink.

Legazpi looked at the mist and sawdust flying around in horror, not knowing what to do.

The artillery fire of the Ming army was so fierce that they had no power to fight back!

Suddenly, he felt a shudder under his feet, and then the ship under his seat fell to the right like a convulsion.

It's over, it's the rhythm of the shipwreck!

It's over, it's all over!

Shipwrecks at sea, can they still be saved?

If there are your own warships nearby, then of course there is salvation.

However, at this time, the flagship he was riding on was about to sink, and the other warships, the deck and other ships were not as thick as the flagship, how could they carry it.

In other words, it is very likely that the more than 20 warships under his command have been sunk, in this case, unless the Ming army sends kindness to save them, otherwise, they will die.

As for swimming back to shore, don't be kidding, although their location is not very far from the port dock, it is also relative to the battleship, and for people, it is impossible to swim back at a distance of more than ten miles.

Under the terrifying firepower of the Ming army, the Spanish colonial fleet was like paper paste, with a round of sideside volleys, more than 2,000 shells smashed over, and more than 20 battleships were sunk!

After a long time, the mist on the sea surface dissipated, Yang Cong carefully scanned it with a telescope, and then lightly ordered: "Order, all Cangshan warships come forward and salvage the prisoners." ”

Lygazpi was "rescued" in this way, but after he was "rescued", he was tied up by the Ming army, until a Ming Imperial officer with a team of guards interrogated one by one and found that he was the commander of the fleet, so someone loosened his ties and brought him to the flagship of the Ming army.

However, he had just seen the commander of the Ming army, and he was pressed to the ground by two Ming soldiers with a tiger's back, unable to move, that feeling, not to mention how aggrieved it was.

He couldn't help but shout angrily: "I'm the commander of the Spanish Far East Fleet, you have to be respectful." ”

Yang Cong listened to the interpreter's explanation, and couldn't help but look at the broken wooden planks floating in the distance, and then pouted slightly: "Your fleet is gone, and besides, you are our prisoner, what kind of respect or disrespect, will you respect the prisoner?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yashibi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head again, and shouted boldly: "You dare to attack our Spanish Far East Fleet without declaring war, and our King will definitely not let you go." ”

He only thought that he knew that Spain was the hegemon of the sea, and he would have some scruples.

But he never thought that Yang Cong would say disdainfully: "Have you ever said hello to Luzon, a subject country of our Ming Dynasty?" You're the ones who didn't declare the war, right? We are only coming to the rescue at the request of our subjects, why not declare war? Is it that you are allowed to beat others, and you are not allowed to fight back, what kind of bandit logic is this? “

When Li Yashibi heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Colony, do you still need to say hello?

They never say hello, they just pick up the guys and get on them!

If the Ming Empire was an ordinary indigenous country, it might be able to use the prestige of Spain to scare it, but the problem is that the Ming Empire was not an ordinary indigenous country at all, but the overlord of the Far East.

He stole a glance at the bow of the ship's auxiliary guns not far away, and then lowered his arrogant head as if admitting defeat.

Just kidding, with this terrifying firepower of the Ming army, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it when their invincible fleet comes!

The Ming army is too powerful, scare people, it's good if people don't scare you!
