1231 And the center blooms
If you say that a shot hit, it can be regarded as shit luck; Then the two shots hit, it was barely a shit luck; But now, two warships of the Ming army, two rounds of shelling, sank a Dutch battleship, this is also shit luck, then this shit luck is really good!
At this time, the second battleship of the Dutch fleet was also getting closer and closer to the Ming naval warship, and the Ming warship took the initiative to meet it.
The governor of Batavia, Quin, was watching, and this time, before he could reach the distance he had estimated in his mind, the Dutch warship opened fire. Or they think that the Ming army must have taken shit luck, and they may be able to.
However, Kun saw very clearly that the shells were all in vain. Just like walking the stinky shit luck, every shell, without exception, accurately avoided the target and fell into the sea to smash the fish.
At the same time, the three Ming Navy Division's warships that met them opened fire "boom boom", and then, again, the Dutch battleship was like a magnet, correcting the direction of the Ming Division's iron bullets and smashing them everywhere on the warship.
It's all at this point, even if it's an idiot, you know that the Ming army's artillery has such a high hit rate, it's definitely not a shit luck, but better than theirs!
At this moment, the remaining three Dutch fleets were all panicked. In the face of the overwhelming Ming army naval division warships, if they rush over, they will definitely end up the same as the previous two. There was no need to choose, and without waiting for Kun's order, the captains of each ship ordered to turn the rudder and turn the rudder again. At this time, they had only one thought, to escape far away, away from these Ming Navy warships.
However, the warship of the Ming Navy Division came in a semicircle, as if it had cast a net. If you don't want to be caught in this net, you can only run into Manila Bay.
In fact, this is indeed the case in the actual battle situation. Whether it was the remaining three Dutch warships or those indigenous ships, in the face of the Ming naval warships that were overwhelming in the open sea, they had no choice but to rush to Manila Bay.
The Ming Army's sailors were not in a hurry, but just maintained their formation and slowly pressed over.
Drive the sheep into the pen!
And in Manila Bay, the fighting was already going on by this time.
On the flagship of the Dutch fleet, Admiral Anthony commanded the allied forces to launch an active attack on the "dying and struggling" ships of the Ming Navy.
Liu Xiang's arson ship broke away from the fleet and crashed into the Ming naval division warship; Similarly, arson ships are also Zheng Zhilong's good tactics, and he also sent small boats to the side of the Dutch fleet, and the small boats of the two sides met and fought each other before they set fire.
It stands to reason that the Ming army is obviously at a disadvantage, and the morale of the Ming sailors should not be high. However, I don't know if Zheng Yiguan's ability is really powerful, and the morale of those Ming soldiers is much higher than that of pirates.
After approaching, the soldiers of the Ming army shouted one after another: "Jump into the sea and don't kill!" ”
"You worked hard for Xiyi, and your ancestors didn't recognize it?"
"You are surrounded, jump into the sea and surrender as soon as possible!"
"If you have the blood of your compatriots on your hands, it's too late, and it's still too late to jump into the sea!"
“……”
Whether it is the soldiers of the Ming army or these pirates under Liu Xiang, most of them are people from Fujian and Guangdong, and they can understand what they are shouting.
When some pirates heard this, they were obviously hesitant, while some pirates scoffed when they heard it, and shouted in response: "If you jump into the sea, we will not kill you!" ”
"Fools, look at our many warships, you are dead!"
“……”
Both sides shouted, but their hands were not slow. These arsonist boats, in general, were just hiding ignitions, rushed up, and then set fire to the sea.
However, these pirates obviously did not expect that the arson ships of the officers and soldiers were even equipped with a tiger squat cannon, and as soon as the ships of the two sides approached and were preparing for a springboard battle, they were confronted with a "boom", and iron sand was sprinkled into a piece and rushed towards them. The officers and soldiers then abandoned the tiger squat cannon and jumped over to fight.
Liu Xiang saw this situation in the rear, and scolded angrily: "Zheng Yiguan, a loser, actually equipped a tiger squat cannon on the arsonist ship, what a fucking loser, do you want to be embarrassed?" ”
Although he was scolding, he was very envious in his heart. Only by relying on the imperial court can you be so wealthy! It is possible to equip a one-time arson ship with a Tiger Squat Cannon. You must know that if the arson ship has gone and never returned, this tiger squat cannon will definitely sink into the sea.
Although there were many ships on this side, as soon as the battle began, the arson ships obviously had a tendency to be defeated by the arson boats of the officers and soldiers. Liu Xiang immediately shouted, and then ordered to send a small warship to the front to stop the arson boat of the Ming army.
Anthony, who was not far away, also saw the arsonist ship fighting, and also cursed secretly, and then ordered his Dutch fleet to meet it, avoid the arsonist ship, and bombard the Ming Navy's main formation with the advantage of artillery.
After giving this order, he sneered and said: "The counterattack regardless of the cost shows that these oriental monkeys already know that they have reached a desperate situation. Hehe, I'll be sure to give you more time to taste despair! ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked back, and he could already see that the indigenous troop transport ship had sailed into Manila Bay.
Seeing this, Anthony issued another order to divide a part of the fleet and bombard the warships of the Ming army sailors anchored in the harbor. He didn't need to command more, his subordinates knew their own advantages, and they used their artillery superiority to press the Ming warships to fight.
The whole Manila Bay is really lively at this time.
The Dutch fleet was pressed by the black, and slowly pressed towards the Ming warships. The warships of both sides met each other with their broadsides, revealing their black muzzles, ready to exchange fire.
Liang Xiaozhen's fleet, he is the third leader, and he also has more than 30 ships under him. However, his subordinates did not understand why the boss did not let them attack. It stands to reason that if you want to secretly preserve your strength, it is mostly when you are in a stalemate or an unfavorable situation. But now, there are more warships on our side than the official army, and the Dutch fleet is stronger than the official army, so why don't you go up to grab the merit at this time? Didn't you see that the other leaders were very enthusiastic!
Is it because the arson ship is not in good shape? But the owner didn't even send out the arson boat, and when he looked back at the big boss, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it, right?
They were thinking about it, but the three masters waved the flag to them and told the captain to go to his flagship.
When has it been, and even let the captain pass, can't you say anything in advance? Those captains didn't understand in their hearts, but when the three masters spoke, they didn't dare not listen, so they hurried to see Liang Xiaozhen.
On the Dutch fleet, Anthony watched his fleet press over, and soon it was within the range of the engagement, and he had the leisure to snap his fingers at his guards and ordered: "Coffee!" ”
The military order has been arranged, and the side has the advantage of fighting more and less, and has the advantage of ships and artillery, if this is not won, then it is really possible to go home and plant sweet potatoes (drive a carriage).
The rest of the time was to appreciate the destruction of the Ming naval division, blast out a way for the indigenous infantry to go ashore, and then capture Manila, that's all!
"General, here comes coffee!"
Anthony listened, and reached for his coffee. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of continuous heavy artillery was heard, and it was obvious that the warships began to exchange fire.
He was a little surprised, because before he turned his head to pick up the coffee just now, he remembered that it would take a while to reach the effective range, why did he turn his head for such an instant, and there was an exchange of fire? Could it be that the Ming army couldn't hold its breath and fired first? Hehe, if this is the case, the Ming army's sailors are weaker than they imagined, then this war will end faster!
Anthony thought so and subconsciously looked up. found out that it was indeed as he expected, it was the Ming army sailors who opened fire, and at that time, the key was that the two battleships under his command were hit by multiple iron bullets. What's going on?
At this time, his hand happened to touch the coffee cup, one of which was not steady, the coffee cup was not steady, it fell, and it broke with a "pop", and the coffee did not enter his stomach and spilled all over the deck.
However, at this time, Anthony didn't have the heart to care about the coffee, he looked up at the port and found that other naval warships in the Ming Kingdom were also firing, although many cannonballs missed and fell into the sea, but every warship fired, there were always some that hit the target. And the warships under his command were already rescuing the ships before they had time to fire.
This...... What's going on?
Anthony looked at all this, it was really unexpected to him, and for a while, he was a little confused!
You must know that in their impression, the best artillery of the Ming army is called the Hongyi cannon, and they Dutch are the Hongyi. That is to say, the artillery of the Ming army was just a copy of theirs. In their consciousness, the artillery of the Ming army could not be more powerful than theirs!
And on Liang Xiaozhen's flagship, at this time, his captains had already hurried to his ship and surrounded him to ask what was going on.
Liang Xiaozhen glanced around them and asked loudly: "I can tell you a piece of news, at this time, outside Manila Bay, there are more than 200 warships of the imperial court, including more than 100 sail warships, which have blocked Manila Bay. In this battle, the imperial court will win. ”
As soon as he heard this, these subordinates of his were immediately stupid. How can you listen to it, it's like talking in a dream!
"Boss, this can't be, how can the imperial court have so many warships. We checked beforehand, aren't there only a hundred or so warships in it? ”
"Boss, what's going on outside Manila Bay, how do you know?"
"Boss, how many is this?"
“……”
Liang Xiaozhen knew that his subordinates would question, and when he was about to speak, he heard a continuous sound of "boom, boom", which interrupted him for a while. Everyone turned their heads to look, but they were stunned to find that the Dutch fleet, which they thought was the most powerful, was actually bombarded by the Ming Navy warships and had no power to fight back.
This...... What's going on?
When Liang Xiaozhen saw this, she smiled happily, and said, "See, the strength of the imperial court is not something you can think of!" ”
His subordinates heard him speak, turned their heads, and looked at him in amazement, they were a little confused, they didn't understand, what was going on?
"Well, listen, I'll tell you the truth!" Liang Xiaozhen glanced at them and said solemnly, "Actually, I'm undercover!" ”
"......" all his subordinates listened, and a crow flew over their heads, still in a state of confusion.
Seeing that they were stupid, Liang Xiaozhen had to explain in detail: "Actually, I am a secret agent of Jinyiwei. What I just said is true. In this battle, the court will win! You have followed me for many years, and this time I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, otherwise there will be no store in this village! ”
Speaking of this, he felt that he had explained enough, and then his face turned cold, and his voice raised a lot: "If you are willing to follow your brother, don't talk nonsense, raise your hand!"
As far as he stared at people, none of his subordinates could bear it, and whether they believed it or not, as long as they didn't agree, they would definitely not be able to get off the boat.
Seeing that his subordinates all raised their hands, Liang Xiaozhen immediately ordered, ready to take advantage of this last opportunity to make a good contribution.
After a long pause, Anthony finally came to his senses, turned his head to see that there were more and more ships coming in from the mouth of Manila Bay, and he made a decision, and immediately issued a flag, ordering all ships, including the Dutch fleet and the warships of Liu Xiang's pirate group, to press up, to fight more and less, and to fight closer. Only in this way can the superiority of the artillery of the Ming State Navy Division be neutralized.
With this style of play, the loss will definitely be relatively large. However, whoever gave the Ming Navy Division's artillery an advantage, the long-range shot was simply a waste of his own warship.
As soon as this order was given, Liu Xiang hesitated. The foundation of his life in the South Seas is the ships in his hands. If he rushes up like this, he doesn't know anything else, and his ships will suffer a lot of losses.
Thinking so, he grinded.
However, Anthony didn't want to let his ships lose a little less. Therefore, his sail warships stood up to Liu Xiang's fleet, and forced Liu Xiang's ships to go up first with their strong ships and cannons.
This shameless behavior of the Dutch made Liu Xiang so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded. However, he could not resist, because the Dutch were his masters.
Anthony couldn't help but smile smugly when he saw that Liu Xiang's fleet was finally forced by himself to rush towards the Ming army's sailors.
At this time, suddenly the lookout post shouted loudly: "Your Excellency General, the situation over there doesn't seem to be right!"
Anthony heard the sound and looked, and sure enough, at the mouth of Manila Bay, the indigenous boats were densely packed, and they were all frantically driving in.
Logically speaking, this is nothing. Originally, it was planned to let the native ships bring in troops to prepare for the landing and capture of Manila. But the crux of the matter is how the indigenous ships are rushing to get inside. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver to grab, there is no need to embrace them like this. Quite a few boats collided with each other, and quite a few people fell overboard. Looking at them, it looks more like there is a tiger chasing after them, and they are scrambling to run for their lives!
But how is this possible? It doesn't make sense! Anthony couldn't figure it out!
