Chapter 662. Get rich overnight
These pirates are like this, scattered and scattered, vulnerable, but there is a leader, crazy but like a tiger, fighting to the death, the Black Island took the lead, like a tiger shark to crush into the Spanish fleet, after setting off a sea of cannon blood, layers of pirate ships in the sailors like a wolf howl also pulled up, sharp teeth gnawed at the Spaniards.
The most unfortunate is the first brave to rush up the Victoria, the Ming pirate ship cut into the horizontal row will fire at it every time it passes by, the Victoria with a broken mast can not dodge at all, the Spanish sailors squatting on it are directly waiting for death, there is no way to hide behind the wooden wall, and they are killed one by one in the raindrops of artillery fire, and finally the keel is simply hit by a few cannons and folded in the sea.
With a gurgling sound, the bow of the ship with the statue of the goddess was raised high, and it slammed into the backward aft tower with a clatter, and finally it sinked and bubbled down.
On the other side, the Black Island had completely penetrated into the Spanish fleet and fought fiercely with three Spanish warships in succession.
After the Battle of the Anglo-Spanish Armada in 1596, the old Spanish tactics did get some changes, but what happened today was too sudden, and it was impossible to open up the battle space at all, and was directly washed into the middle of the two ships by the Black Island, and the ninety-six heavy guns on both sides instantly burst out with devastating destructive power. The gunners on the other side of the board didn't even have time to snort, and threw them backwards with the waves.
At high speed, even the sawdust is as murderous as a flying knife, and in the mournful shouts of the gunner, a medicine boy carrying a powder keg is running over at a high speed, and the board of the ship next to him exploded, clicking a black dot on his leg, and the medicine boy didn't even have time to snort, he collapsed directly to the ground, the blood fountain of his left leg came out, and the leg bone was directly broken into two halves from the middle.
He was lucky, not far from him, a bearded gunner fell directly on the back deck, his face was hideously stuck in a few long pieces of wood, his eyes were squeezed out, and blood was flowing down the mud.
The war is fair, when the Spanish ship was fired, the Black Island also suffered casualties, but on the one hand, the ship was large and the materials were sufficient, and on the other hand, the black technology of the Dongjiang River was also revealed, the fiber net!
As we all know, the material of the body armor in later generations is not strong steel, but a relatively soft Kevlar pottery piece, which is very easy to break, in the face of arrows, the defense of the cotton armor made of paper and the cloth stamped by the cloth is not even as good as the iron armor, the Dongjiang River is still a cheap cloth production source, Chongzhen fifteen years ago, the Dongjiang boat, every time between the board wood, there is a layer of wood soaked with glue and rotten fiber layer, after Chongzhen fifteen years, it is simply two layers of ship board are pasted with a thick layer of rubber and cotton.
The Spanish shipboard was smashed in all directions with a bang, even if it was the lightest grapeshit, the Dongjiang shipboard faced the small-caliber gun, and the shell simply clattered into the ship's board, even if the heavy artillery blasted the ship's plank open, it was just a big hole, and it couldn't cause splash damage, and the Spanish battleships on both sides were about to be beaten into a sieve, and Zheng Sen's Black Island was just a few more pockmarks, and the gunner's casualties were not at all a grade.
However, compared with the traditional Daming pirate ship, the only drawback of the Dongjiang warship is estimated to be that there is no first gun in the bow, and the two sides are playing happily, and a few heavy noises smashed on the foredeck, smashing out a few big holes in the thick deck, and the bow is a bit imitating the Japanese style, and the compassionate face of the Great Bodhisattva of Eight Arms Stretched Out with eight arms was flattened, and Zheng Sen's favorite set of fishing gear was also knocked away.
Seeing the Spanish battleship firing in front of him, all of a sudden, Zheng Sen's pirate blood completely bubbled out, the rudder was straight and directly stuck, he suddenly pulled out his war knife, and roared like a lion.
"Full sail full speed ahead, hit it X!"
You can fight advanced artillery battles, and you can play the oldest angle collision tactics! The sailor in the bow of the ship also let out a madman's scream, the heavy rigging pulled down, the sails that had fallen for the battle were once again round and rounded, and suddenly the Kuroshima gave up the two frigates that had been beaten and struck, and slammed into the Spanish ships in front of it like a bull.
The frightened shouts of the Spaniard sailors on the opposite side could be clearly heard, the captain in the three-cornered hat slammed the rudder to death, the first mate in front of the ship also screamed and hung the sails, and the heavy battleship creaked and turned, but before the stern turned thirty degrees, Zheng Sen's Black Island had already hit it fiercely.
The incomparably poignant collision, the click of the wood cracking, the eight arms waved by the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman were completely embedded in the hull of the unlucky Spanish battleship, stuck on it, and the vibration of the distance caught more than a dozen Spanish sailors next to the ship off guard and simply fell into the sea, and the rest fell to the ground like a rolling gourd, and before they could get up, the screaming Daming pirates had jumped down from the bow of the ship more than one meter high, brandished an axe scimitar, and slashed at the head of the Spanish sailor.
Bang~Bang~
Muskets like popping beans come and go, white smoke steames on the ship, the sound of gunfire is accompanied by the rampant evil laughter of pirates, the gang battle is no better than a big duel on the road, the narrow deck fights, the test is personal skill and bravery, the Spanish phalanx tactics are too difficult to play here, the Spanish conquistadors with big guns have just rushed out of the lower deck, and a Zheng family pirate with an axe slashed head-on, unreasonable and directly slashed his dog's head with an axe, click, Even the Spanish Iron Helmet was split in half.
After pulling out the axe, the pirate smirked and slashed down the narrow passage, the spear was not easy to use, let alone the arquebusiers below, and the clattering sound of bones breaking, blood water flowed down like a spring, and a corpse was like the scene of a horror movie.
A bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield, the Zheng family pirate warships with strong financial resources and strong firepower collided with the Spaniards one after another, the cannon fire was splashing below, the ropes were whistling overhead, and the rain of the Daming pirates who jumped the gang fell on the deck like raindrops, followed by a bloody fight, and looked at his main formation with a telescope, and the Governor Mariana who climbed the bird's nest himself was helpless, and immediately ordered in a hurry.
"Abandon the treasure ship! Order a retreat!"
"Retreat?"
Colonel Alex, a stubborn old man who was already on fire, collapsed directly like an artillery battle, full of anger, and he pointed at the battlefield with a hideous face and roared: "Marquis, you let the dignified Royal Navy flee in front of the pirates? Do you want the face of the empire anymore? ”
"Is gold important or is it the jewel in the crown of His Majesty the Emperor, and the East Indies are important? Benhou's fiancée, Miss Serita, is still in Manila, and no matter what the price, Benhou can't let her hang on the infidel gallows! Colonel Alex, are you going against Benhou? ”
Seeing that Governor Hernan, who had always been smiling, twitched with a hideous face, and again, Alex, who was a civilian, had to compromise, angrily threw his command sword on the ground, and he turned away.
The command ship, which had not yet been entangled by the attack, suddenly shook a complex and rapid flag, and then the swarm of the Spanish battleships next to it spread the signal like that, and the same initial stunned, the sailors who were guarding the dozen or so treasure ships in the middle helplessly rowed the dinghy away, and a group of people moved out of the cargo hold and lit it directly on the deck, and the white smoke rising from the top immediately attracted the attention of the pirates who were attacking wildly.
"Eldest son, look!"
Listening to the loud shouting of the first mate Shi Daxuan behind him, and throwing aside the captain of the other party who had been shot a few times and was kneeling on the ground vomiting blood, Zheng Sen climbed onto the cargo pile covered with canvas on the deck, and looked at the binoculars twice, he immediately roared in pain.
"The treasure ship is inside!"
"Don't fucking cut it! Get back! Get back! Go to Lao Tzu to rob the treasure ship! You're fucking chopping! I don't want silver! ”
kicked over a subordinate who was still slashing happily, Zheng Sen ran back with a shout, and the Black Island pirates who were killing and slashing also ran back, leaving only the Spanish captain with a few bloody holes in his body and the crew who were cut to the teeth and grinning to look at each other.
Seeing that other pirate ships abandoned their opponents and rushed towards the center circle, the pirates who returned to the Black Island were sailing and ruddering, and they were in a hurry, but the eight arms of the Hachiman Bodhisattva at the bow of the ship were stuck in the Spanish ship, and they just couldn't pull it out.
He was so angry that he almost didn't cry, and Zheng Sen roared angrily: "What about the powder keg? Bring it up and blow it up!"
"Eldest Prince, don't we have to blow up the bow of the ship?"
First mate Shi Daxuan was cold sweat broke out, and shouted sadly behind him, but Zheng Sen was so anxious that he smashed his fist on the rudder.
"I can't take care of it!"
"As long as you can sail there, as long as you grab a treasure ship, it's not a problem to buy a few more Black Islands, go quickly!"
His son-in-law's eyes were red, and he was helpless, Shi Daxuan could only urge a big heart and run to the lower deck, but just when Zheng Sen was as anxious as the ants on the hot pot, on the opposite Spanish ship, a sailor who had been stabbed in the thigh limped and waved a white flag, and pointed at the pirates with guns on the bow of the ship, pointing at the mast behind him in fear and shouting in Spanish.
Although the language is not understood, the gestures are universal, and it took Zheng Sen to understand after watching it for a long time, and he shouted hurriedly.
"Don't shoot, go down and paddle! Xiban wants to pull it out with us!"
Dozens of oars stretched out from the muzzle, the Spaniard also changed the sails, and the hostile sides who had just fought until the blood flowed backwards together, in the click of breaking, the Hachiman Bodhisattva, who had broken two arms, could be regarded as pulling out, the bow of the Black Island slammed into the water, and the Spanish ship on the other side suddenly retreated like a gray whale gnawed by a shark.
But just when Zheng Sen breathed a sigh of relief, there was already a pirate ship leaning on the treasure ship that had been let out, and the heavy box was carried out from under the cabin by the excited pirates, and it was opened suddenly, and the golden gold, the shining silver, and all kinds of spices with various rich aromas suddenly came into view, and in an instant, these pirates went crazy, and grabbed the treasures like happy convulsions and carried them into their arms, and the precious metals collided together with a crisp clattering sound, A gold coin engraved with the face of an unknown Westerner seemed to come to life, bypassing a few greedy dirty hands, fluttering down the sloping deck and falling into the warm Pacific Ocean with a crisp and pleasant sound.
Despite the crushing defeat, the Ming pirates won the final victory, snatching the huge treasure that the Spaniards had been robbing in South America for a whole year, and countless gold and silver rained down.
Get rich!
On the other side, the scarred Spanish warship was finally dragged away from the battlefield, staggering to the northeast and routing, standing on the deck, looking at the golden light that kept coming out of the binoculars, and the old officer Alex's reddish-brown eyes seemed to be bleeding.
Since the Anglo-Spanish naval battle, the glorious first empire on which the sun never sets, the face of the Holy Spanish Empire in the East has been slapped in the face again, and it has been robbed by a group of pirates, and it is estimated that for a long time, Spain will become the laughing stock of the Western world.
It's just that compared to the East Indies, this loss is no longer worth it! Now all that has been lost is the capital Manila, and if it drags on any longer, perhaps there will be no Spanish foothold in Central and South Asia, and they will have to go back and drive the invading Ming army back to the sea.
In Alex's unwilling roar, more than 30 Spanish warships, the main force of nearly 8,000 Spanish East Indies, finally broke away from the battlefield in embarrassment and went straight to Luzon to return.
But what the Spaniards didn't know was that they were simply jumping from one fire pit to another!
…………
A few hundred kilometers away, the city of Manila.
In a month, the entire city and all the population resources within 50 kilometers of the vicinity have completely fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the offensive against Fort St. Philip has also begun.
On the fortress wall, the Spanish defenders who were already hungry and dizzy looked at it with fear in their eyes, and in the dark evening night, the natives carried piles of palm leaves, wet wood, and firewood to the front of Fort St. Philip, and behind, those Ming soldiers were smiling and pointing at ease.
The wind blew slowly from the sea, blowing Huang Degong's long beard and sideburns flying, looking at the fortress in the night, his eyes were smug but full of murderous squint.
For a long time, it was Mao Jue's Dongjiang tactics that were rampant in the world, and the faces of these old Ming generals were slapped, and this time, it was finally his turn to show what he had learned and come up with some old methods!
Seeing that the palm leaves were almost piled up, Huang Degong roared loudly.
