Chapter 606: Choose for yourself
The axiom has always been within the range of artillery, in fact, without artillery, it is hand-to-hand combat, and the Ming army led by Ye Xun also crushed the Spaniards.
From the very beginning, the Ming army slaughtered the Spaniards almost one-sidedly, and many Spanish soldiers escaped by hiding under the corpses of their comrades.
In fact, the muskets of the Spaniards far exceeded those of the Ming army, but in order to confuse the Ming army, James put away the long muskets, and the soldiers with short-handled muskets were a minority after all, and the Ming army did not give them a chance to use them at all.
"I protest, I protest! You are unreasonable, we all surrendered! Why are you still doing it? ”
James suddenly found that although the Ming warship was raining down arrows, none of them were shot at him, and he suddenly understood that it should be related to the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, so he yelled at Ye Xun.
Seeing the corpses of his men strewn across the boat, James's eyes were red, if it weren't for reason telling him that he couldn't do it, he really wanted to strangle the young man in front of him with his own hands.
Ye Xun smiled indifferently, turned his head to look, the effect was good, the dense arrows had been nailed to the deck of the Dreadnought, even if the Spanish soldiers were alive, they could not form a threat, so he waved his hand to signal that Tian Siqing could stop shooting.
"James, the governor of Luzon, Spain, it is better to meet than to be famous, you tell me fair? Who should the people of Luzon turn to for justice? So be it! I'll give you a chance at a fair duel, and as long as you can defeat me, I'll let you go back"
Listening to Ye Xun's words, James couldn't help but be surprised, he was surprised not that Ye Xun knew his name, but that he was fluent in Spanish.
He looked Ye Xun up and down a few times again, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" Is it the commander of the Ming fleet? ”
Ye Xun nodded and said, "It can be understood in this way, my father's surname is Ye Mingxun."
"You are Ye Xun?"
James's surprise was not trivial, he never expected that the legendary supreme commander of the Ming army would be so young.
Ye Xun frowned and said: "There is too much nonsense, if you don't dare to duel with Bengong, then Bengong will admit defeat to you."
James is not stupid, from the momentum that Ye Xun unconsciously revealed, he already felt that this young man was not simple.
James was very angry, because the Ming Dynasty people did not follow the rules, but there was nothing wrong with what people asked, when he led the fleet to attack the Luzon State and slaughtered the indigenous soldiers and civilians of Luzon, did he tell them that it was fair? To put it bluntly, this is a world where the strong are respected, and the weak can only be bullied.
Silently drawing his saber, he was still very confident in his swordsmanship, and among the Spanish noble generals, there were few people who were his opponents.
Turn sideways with the tip of the sword pointing downwards and strike a standard swordsmanship starting pose.
Ye Xun always had his hands behind his back, and only after James was ready did he shake his body violently, turning into a black shadow, turning in front of James and returning to the same place, if he didn't look carefully, he didn't know that he had moved.
James only felt a flower in front of him, and then his hand was light, and he subconsciously looked down, but was shocked to find that the sword in his hand was gone, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Xun playing with his sword.
"You—You know how to demons..."
Ye Xun smiled weirdly, shook his body again, and quickly shoved James's saber back into his hand.
During the whole process, James was like a fool, and he didn't understand what happened until the end, but one thing is certain, that is, there is no need to compete at all, and he is afraid that he is not qualified to fight with others.
James was also simply, after figuring it out, he silently unsheathed the sword, and after inserting the sword back, he bowed down and held it to Ye Xun with both hands.
"Venerable Lord Ye, please accept my surrender!"
Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said, "It's not over like this a long time ago, but you'd better let your subordinates surrender, otherwise my father will have to order them to be destroyed."
Ye Xun said and waved his hand, Tian Siqing's side was already ready, and after seeing Ye Xun's gesture, he immediately jumped to the Dreadnought with his subordinates.
The full strength of Ye Gong's No. 1 treasure ship is 1,000 people, and if you throw away the sailors, there are 400 people who fight full-time.
Looking at the dense Ming soldiers, James suddenly felt that he was really funny, and when he didn't know who he was, he still wanted to snatch someone's main ship, it is estimated that in the eyes of this Ye Gonggong, he is the number one fool!
At this time, it was already dark, and the Ming warships that were pursuing the Spanish warships also returned one after another, and then formed a huge protective circle with the treasure ship as the center.
Although it was not far from the shore, there were still many Spanish soldiers on the shore, and it was necessary to make sure that they all surrendered.
It is impossible for the escaped Spanish warship to escape too far, otherwise it will be no different from looking for death.
James was brought to the treasure ship, and the surviving Spanish soldiers on the Dreadnought were also sent to other ships for imprisonment.
Ye Xun ordered someone to clean up a table of wine and food, and while feasting James, he also invited Suleiman over.
The enemy was very red when he saw him, if it weren't for Ye Xun's presence, Suleiman really wanted to pounce on him and bite James a few times.
James turned a blind eye to Suleiman, as if this person did not exist at all, in his heart, he was Ye Xun's prisoner, as long as he had Ye Xun in his eyes, Suleiman, a defeated general, had no need to deal with it at all.
Ye Xun stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and then said to James: "Your Excellency the Governor, try our Chinese food, and we will talk about compensation after eating."
James was already hungry, and after seeing the exquisite Chinese food, Harazi was about to flow out, and when he heard Ye Xun say that he could eat it, he couldn't help but pick up the knife and fork, but he didn't know how to start with that dish, but when he heard Ye Xun's last sentence, the knife and fork in his hand were put down again.
After glancing at Suleiman, he turned his head to Ye Xun and said: "Honorable Lord Ye, although our army is the defeated side, our army has also suffered serious losses, if you want to talk about compensation, please forgive us for not being able to do anything."
Ye Xun spread his hands and said with an indifferent expression: "Then it's a pity, then I can only take His Excellency the Governor and all your subordinates to the Central Plains Continent, now that the Central Plains Continent is carrying out comprehensive construction, there is a great need for free labor, especially foreign labor."
"You!"
James jerked to his feet, trying to say something, but didn't know where to start.
At this time, Suleiman said in a strange manner: "Father-in-law, don't hesitate, these red-haired ghosts are tall and strong, and they are not necessarily more suitable to be laborers."
"In addition, in order to thank Gonggong Ye for his righteous action, after returning to Manila, all the expenses of your army will be paid by the contempt country, I don't know what my father-in-law thinks?"
This kid is very good at coming to things, and there is development!
After taking a few breaths, James sat down again, looked directly at Ye Xun and said: "These soldiers are thousands of miles away from their homeland, and their families are still looking forward to their return as soon as possible. ”...
