"Is this the Spanish Armada that once roamed the world?" Wang Yue stood on the deck of the landing ship, looking at a Spanish galleon that was slowly sinking, and muttered to himself with some emotion.

"Oh, ......" A heavy footstep sounded, and Zhuang Suwen's voice sounded behind him: "Report to the commander, I was ordered to completely annihilate the Spanish fleet, sinking a total of fifteen enemy sail warships, and our army did not suffer any casualties. Now there are a large number of enemy overboard personnel floating in the sea, and how to deal with them is for the commander's instructions. ”

Wang Yue looked at the figure chasing the waves on the sea and said indifferently: "This still needs to be asked, isn't there still a shortage of manpower to build roads in our freshwater resettlement site?" Those sailors can swim in the sea for so long without sinking, it can be seen that their physical strength must be excellent, and they must be good at fishing them all, and they must be good at building roads. ”

Listening to Wang Yue's calm words, Zhuang Suwen certainly knew that his own commander could give the greatest tolerance to people of his own nationality, but he definitely had another attitude towards foreigners.

While the Tiance Navy was busy salvaging the Spanish overboard, Keelung Harbor and the castle behind it were already in chaos.

Dressed in a gorgeous military uniform and carrying a sword scarred with gems at his waist, Caron stood on the city wall, looking at those strange, unimaginably huge Ming warships, and an anxious look flashed in his eyes. It is said that these ships are all steel, oh my God! Have you forsaken your people?

At this moment, the voice of Colonel Anthony sounded in his ears: "Your Excellency the Governor, there is another Ming army behind the castle, numbering more than a thousand people, and I have ordered a group of soldiers to go and defend it." ”

"What?" Caron's heart fell into the valley of ice, there were only more than 1,200 Spanish soldiers in Keelung City, and the enemy not only had strong firepower, but his strength was several times that of his own, how should this battle be fought?

The offensive steps of the Tiance Army's naval and land forces were carried out in coordination, and immediately after the Spanish fleet was destroyed, the second regiment of the security army appeared behind Keelung City.

Subsequently, the naval and army forces carried out a clear-up artillery bombardment of the forts in Keelung, the mortars on the sea continuously shelled the port batteries and the city wall two kilometers away, and the security forces also shelled the fixed artillery on both sides of the city wall with the 37 type artillery one kilometer away.

Compared with the solid-shell artillery of the security forces, the mortar attack is louder and more effective, especially the 100-millimeter mortar, and every shell that lands is deafening.

"Boom, boom...!" Mortar shells fell one after another near the forts of the harbor and city walls, and from time to time huge explosions swept the Spanish soldiers who could not escape into the air.

Liu Ru, a reporter accompanying the army, witnessed the Tiance Army for the first time, and had just finished enjoying a naval battle like a fireworks display, followed by a landing battle.

Ten minutes after the shelling, amphibious assault vehicles and armored vehicles rode the waves towards Keelung City.

Countless shells were flying in the sky, and the Keelung port and Keelung city in the distance were full of bombing points, and in the smoke of gunpowder, more than fifty armored vehicles rushed towards Keelung, and among these armored vehicles was a big guy, this was a Type 99 tank.

After clearing two batteries near the harbor, landing ships and passenger and cargo ro-ro ships also docked one after another, the soldiers of the 5th Regiment formed a group and advanced towards Keelung City in companies behind armored vehicles.

All the armored vehicles were pushed back, and the Type 99 tank took the lead, the turret kept turning, and at a distance of six or seven hundred meters, it aimed at the battery on the city wall and bombarded it fiercely, and the power of the 125-mm tank gun was even more amazing, and because of the straight trajectory, it quickly collapsed a large part of the wall where the battery was located.

Only then did Liu Ru realize that the war of the Tiance Army was fundamentally different from the war she had heard of or seen in books.

"Oh God! What is that? Seeing so many mecha monsters spewing flames at Keelung, Karon was completely stunned.

"Boom...!" A shell landed more than thirty meters from Cuarón, which immediately overturned five or six Spanish soldiers, and the stump and severed arm were thrown into the air.

"Goo-dong!" An arm that I don't know whose one fell near Caron.

Colonel Anthony said worriedly: "Your Excellency the Governor, it is too dangerous here, you better go down!" ”

"No!" Although Caron's legs were trembling, he still shook his head: "I can't go down, I'm going to stay here and command the battle!" ”

He understood that the enemy's artillery fire was mainly dealing with the battery, and there should be no danger here for the time being.

In the face of such heavy artillery fire from the enemy, the reason why his own soldiers have not collapsed is because he is still on the city wall. He was sure that if he went by himself, he was afraid that it would not be long before someone would open the city gate and surrender.

Antony, who had no choice but to pray for his good fortune: "O Lord Almighty, have mercy on your people, and let us have the strength to defeat those hateful infidels!" ”

It was a pity that Cuarón's idea was good, but God seemed to be on vacation today, and did not hear his words, and not long after he prayed, a cannonball exploded on a battlement next to him, and a fist-sized stone flew out and hit him on the head, and our Governor Cuarón fell to the ground very straightly, and Colonel Anthony on the side hurriedly led him back to the governor's palace in the city.

Soon after Karon was carried away, the tanks that had cleared the forts of the city walls smashed the city gates, and the armored vehicles behind the tanks rushed into Keelung.

Dense gunfire rang out in the city, and the on-board machine guns fired "All over!" The sound of shooting. The Spanish soldiers, armed with arquebuses, fired at the armored car, and after the white fog cleared, the armored car was unscathed, but the soldiers who had just fired were mercilessly torn apart by the vehicle-mounted machine guns.

The soldiers of the Fifth Regiment also rushed into the city, and the Type 95 rifles and Remington shotguns against the arquebuses were as sharp as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and after two quarters of an hour, the remaining defenders of the city surrendered, and the battle could not be fought.

After Wang Yue entered the city, he soon saw Karon, who looked like an Arab with a head bag, and he smiled and said: "Governor Karon, we have finally met, and you are very welcome to be my prisoner of war." ”

At this time, Caron had already woken up, his expression quickly changed a few times, and finally said with three points of helplessness, three points of resentment and three points of unwillingness: "You are Lord Wang Sihua?" I am the Grand Governor appointed by the King of Spain, and it is my duty to defend the Grand Governor, and I will still choose to resist if I have the opportunity! Your attack on Keelung is an invasion of the Kingdom of Spain, and you wait to meet the wrath of the Kingdom. ”
