Chapter 661. The pirates' feast begins
On the ship, the big gong of the Spanish retreat tinkled non-stop, and the natives who had been defeated couldn't wait to rush to the canoes on the shallows, and the Spanish phalanx was methodically speared backwards, arquebuses opened the way, and the three hedgehog phalanxes also withdrew to the seashore, picked up the oars, and rowed quickly into the sea.
On the beach, the Ming pirates who were killed all over the ground looking for teeth only had the ease of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they didn't even dare to chase after them.
However, there were few dead in this battle, after all, the Spaniards were only 600, and they were not completely defeated, so they killed and wounded more than 156 pirates, and there were not as many pirates killed as the pirates themselves, as for the Spaniards, the natives were killed by cannons, muskets and knives, and there were also more than 100 as for the conquerors, none of them died.
It's really a typical low-quality and inferior-grade epic war of this era.
But even if he lost, Zheng Sen was still full of excitement, holding his telescope high and looking at the West and Dutch coalition fleet that was rapidly retreating towards the other section of the strait, his hands holding the telescope were trembling.
Although I still don't know where Yuan Dabao's fleet went, it is obvious that he was right, otherwise Xiban would not have been able to suddenly turn around and retreat so simply when he had the upper hand, and Xiban would not be able to afford it!
Then it's time for them pirates to get up and do something!
Putting down the binoculars, Zheng Sen hurriedly and excitedly turned his head and shouted loudly: "Tell the shark head, drown the ghosts, and if you want to get rich, you will go to sea with Lao Tzu!" Catch the yellow croaker!"
These days, mediating logistics and supply, arranging pirate defense, Zheng Sen can be regarded as establishing some prestige among the thousands of Zheng family pirates in the old department, seeing that after he finished shouting, he took Shi Daxuan and several other generals to run directly towards his battleship, a group of pirate leaders looked at each other in astonishment, did not hesitate for long, and then roared and screamed, and the Daming pirates who had just finished the battle were in the roar of their own family, and followed the ship.
The sail battleships defending against the shore squeaked and roared with their masts, and the sails were excitedly pulled, and one by one the pirate ships that were tilting their heads outward rushed out like a school of sharks.
At this time, the headquarters of the Jose coalition army docked at the mouth of the Strait of Malacca was also in a mess, and the first and second officers kept rushing down from the Seven Provinces by boat, and the battalion of the coalition forces stationed on the tidal flats on the other side of the Strait of Malacca was also in a panic packing up their things and dismantling their tents and withdrawing to the fleet.
Alex, the Manila colonel who had just commanded the retreat, was still stained with the sand on the tidal flats, and the old colonist's curly beard that resembled a burlesque actor trembled with the roar, his fists slammed on the table, the ink was smashed down, and a pair of bloodshot eyes were round, and he roared as if he was about to bite.
"Why retreat? Almost, almost Sir Ben sent that group of godless Ming heretics to hell! Have you let Satan blind your brains? ”
In the past, almost all the great powers in Southeast Asia fell into the hands of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and the remaining ones had to submit to a few Western colonial powers even if they were not destroyed.
Listening to the roar of the Spanish officer, Mao Jue had seen Ruferi, the governor of Batavia of the Dutch East India Company, and the governor of Java, Feng Feili, whom he had never seen. Leeuwenhoek, Governor of Banten Van Van Hotman, the Governor of the Spice Islands, Vantoff, all frowned, showing a look of disgust and disdain that looked at the hillbilly. On the other side, Hernan, the governor of Mariana in Spain, and Amancio, the governor of Garoline, were full of anger, glaring at these red-haired Dutchmen, and the atmosphere was very strangely frozen.
Alex roared angrily for two or three minutes before his immediate boss Hernan explained to him angrily and helplessly.
"The Ming army has captured Manila, is sweeping through Upper and Lower Luzon, and is approaching Kalimantan, and must go back to relieve the siege!"
"What? How is this possible? ”
His face was full of astonishment and incredulity, as if he was louder than his voice, and the old Spanish colonel roared at the red-haired Dutchman.
"Doesn't your information indicate that the main forces of your people are all attracted by the treasure ships and gathered around Manraka? You damned traitors!"
"Most of the Ming pirates besieging outside the city of Geranza have gathered here!"
Levinhut's red and round old face also showed a look of displeasure, and he snorted coldly: "Even Your Excellency can make it clear that those people are pirates!" And it was the Royal Navy of the Ming Kingdom that attacked the city of Manila! It's like the damn British, they can't even tell the difference, no wonder your country's invincible armada can make the British unable to find the north!"
"Traitor, you say it again!"
Seeing that the two Westerners were blushing and their necks were thick and almost didn't fight, Hernan interrupted the quarrel with a sudden sentence and said helplessly to a group of old devils.
"Gentlemen! Now is not the time to quarrel, how to deal with the attack of the Ming Kingdom is the top priority! We should get rid of the pirates in Malacca at once, and quickly concentrate our forces to take back Luzon!"
Who knew that at this time, Sir Cohen, who was the real director of the Asian branch of the Dutch East India Company and one of the members of the seventeen gentlemen's shareholders' meeting, shook his head heavily.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency's suggestion, the Dutch East India Company can't accept it!"
"The alliance with your country is to deal with the pirates of the Ming Kingdom, not to clash head-on with the Ming Empire, and the conflict between the Royal Navy of the Ming Empire and your country, the company does not intend to intervene!"
"Since your country does not plan to continue to deal with the Ming pirates here, then the company will also retreat back to Batavia immediately, may God bless your country!"
There are many contradictions between the Netherlands and Spain, and the alliance is just a bond of interests, and now the strength shown by the Ming Dynasty has made the Dutch feel afraid, and they are also afraid that the Ming Dynasty will repeat its old tricks, and they will attack Batavia with their own troops, and come to the pot! At this time, they are planning to smear the soles of their feet with oil.
But these words completely angered several Spaniards, and their beards stood up, and Alex grabbed Cohen's collar violently, and roared furiously: "Damn heretic, Sir Ben will hang you on the gallows with his own hands!"
"Pay attention to identity, Major! All of you here are aristocrats!"
Saying this, but the hand collapsed with the underworld, Levinhut took out a short firearm and put it on his head, since he moved the gun, there was nothing to talk about, and in the uproar, more than a dozen Dutch and Spanish guards all rushed in, and the muzzles of their guns pointed at each other's heads.
This fragile alliance has completely collapsed.
"Do you want to shed the blood of the nobles here, or do you want to go back and fight to the death against the Ming people in Luzon?"
Calmly patted Alex's rough slap, the old man who was almost seventy Cohen asked with a sneer, the current situation is not good for him, and the Governor of Marianas, the highest official in Spain at this time, took a deep breath and patted Alex on the shoulder helplessly.
"Colonel, your sword should be stained with the blood of heretics!"
"Humph!"
With an angry roar, Alex finally shook off the collar of the red-haired Dutchman and retreated in a huff.
Under the unpleasant gaze of the Dutch, a group of Spaniards threw up their sleeves and walked out of the door one by one, and before leaving, the governor of Mariana could not help but laugh sarcastically.
"If the Ming Dynasty raises the battle flag against the Netherlands, don't forget today!"
"The Netherlands didn't massacre the Ming expatriate!"
Not caring at all, Cohen sneered and sneered as well.
…………
On the sea, although the sails have been pulled out to sea, but the fiasco almost a month ago is really impressive, more than ninety warships of Spain and the Netherlands are moored there in a group, even Zheng Sen did not dare to go up at the first time, more than fifty Ming like greedy but cowardly wolves, around the edge of the fleets of the two countries.
But just when Zheng Sen held up the binoculars and drooled and looked at the treasure ships, the formation of the coalition fleet changed suddenly, and the thirty-seven Dutch gunboats suddenly turned their bows and sailed south with full sails directly, leaving the large battalion on the shore behind in an instant.
This scene was not only shocking to Zheng Sen, but also the Spaniards who were still packing their luggage and preparing to retreat.
The telescope fell from the Holy Trinity on the opposite side, the stunned faces of the Spanish sailors, and Zheng Sen suddenly raised his war knife with great excitement, and turned his head and roared sharply.
"Raise the sails and hang the banner of my Zheng family! Attack!"
"Eldest son, can there be fraud?"
Before he woke up from the combat effectiveness of the Western colonists, Shi Daxuan couldn't help but ask hurriedly, but Zheng Sen had already pushed away the captain at this time, and he personally took charge of the helm of the Black Island, a right full rudder, and the heavy gunboat rushed out of the wolves like a drift.
Wealth and danger are sought, and it will be difficult to fight when the Spaniards set up a formation, and this is how the battle of the angry sea is fought, facing the Black Island, the Spanish escort ship Victoria is also hastily full of rudders, and it is stopped, and in the sound of the water, it is just full of wind, just four hundred meters, and the two battleships have been staggered together in more than ten minutes.
However, in the face of the first-class battleship Kuroshima, which was more than 70 meters away, and the Victoria, which was more than 40 meters away, was like a child racing with adults, forty-eight heavy guns were pushed out of the gun bay by the sailors, and the swarthy artillery fire faced twenty-eight black holes on the opposite side.
"it!"
I don't know if the gun commander is from Henan, he roared in the original cavity and covered his ears and pulled down the cannon suddenly, the cannon sounded from low to high like a piano, and between the two ships, it was filled with dense gunpowder smoke for a moment, the flickering cannon fire in the smoke and dust shone brightly, and the screams of the sailors were accompanied by the explosion and song of the broken wood.
After a few minutes, the smoke of the cannon dispersed, and under the watchful eyes of a group of Ming pirates, the Black Island was still like an unreasonable reckless man, rampage forward, as for the Victoria, it had already stopped there like a bullied little lady, the mainmast and foremast had fallen to the ground, the lower deck was punched out of countless transparent holes, and the Spanish sailors who were killed by the artillery fire were paralyzed in the ruins.
The head wolf is heroic, and the encouragement of the entire wolf pack is simply incomprehensible, and even the eyes are slightly red with excitement, and countless Daming pirates excitedly raised their firearms in their hands to play with knives, and in the squeaky rigging, the Oriental pirate ships piled together are like salmon swimming upside down, and the black pressure is also emerging out.
