Chapter 498: Manila is not easy to fight

When the Orca approached the Dreadnought, the people of the Orca Battleship dropped their jaws in shock. All the surviving dry wax men lined up on the deck, and knives, axes, and arquebuses were stacked on one side of the deck.

At the front of the Dry Wax people stood two Changxing Army soldiers in cuirassals, and behind them were the first mate Ma Le and Fernandez, dressed in neat military uniforms.

Pan Xuezhong, who was the first soldier to jump over, widened his eyes and asked, "First mate!" You ~ the three of you captured the enemy ship? ”

……

When Fernandez handed the sword in his hand to Zhang Huan, the Changxing army cheered. This victory came too hard, and if it weren't for the captain's sanity, it was not known who would have died in the end.

The Dry Silk people were also visibly relieved that for them the war was over. All that remains is to wait for Ganlasi to send someone to redeem it, at least her life will be saved, and she will not be buried in the far east.

The Dreadnought was beaten so badly by the orca battleship that the planks on one side were almost broken. Fortunately, the keel was not damaged, otherwise the captured battleship would have been abandoned.

The Changxing Army, who took over the Intrepid, immediately carried out a simple repair of the ship, replaced it with a mast and headed towards the desert island where the Fufu ship was hiding.

After obtaining the nautical chart equipment and nautical charts of the dry wax people, Zhang Huan confirmed his location. They drifted to the south of Manila near the strait, and it was no wonder that they encountered a large fleet of Dry Wax people.

After interrogating the dried silk sailor, Zhang Huan got another shocking news. Not long after the treasure ship of the Dry Wax people arrived in Manila, all the silver brought from the New World was placed in Manila.

What is the concept of more than a million taels of silver, that is how many killer whale warships. If the navy grabs this batch of silver, it will be able to have dozens of warships in next year's budget.

Zhang Huan, who learned the news, turned his eyes into the shape of a hole. As soon as he arrived on the desert island, he immediately found Tao Lei and Li Zhen to have a meeting, and everyone was excited when he heard the news that there was silver in Manila.

Tao Lei pondered for a while before he spoke: "There is silver in Manila, we must go and grab it." But before going to Manila, we need to find out the deployment of troops in Manila. Otherwise, the robbery will turn into a suicide action, and it will be fun, and knowing oneself and knowing the other can be foolproof! ”

Zhang Huan also agreed with Tao Lei's idea, after all, Manila is the most important base of the Gan Wax people in East Asia, and it is impossible to be completely defenseless. He also said: "What Brother Tao said is true! We still have a lot of dried silk captives in our hands, and although we promise to treat them well, we need them to know each other! ”

"Interrogating the prisoners, even give us the death brigade. In our hands, there is no mouth that cannot be pried open! Li Zhen patted her chest and said.

He is already the captain of the death brigade, responsible for directing all the members of the death brigade to cooperate with the Changxing army to carry out the clearance operation.

On that day, Fernandez and his men were taken to an open beach, where several wooden stakes had been planted side by side.

Li Zhen stood on the beach and let out an eerie evil smile at the captives, which made the hearts of all the captives flutter.

"Do you know what these stakes are for?" Without waiting for Ma Le to finish translating, he said to himself: "I am used to tying uncooperative people to wooden stakes, so that when the sea tide rises, the chance will drown people's necks.

You don't have to worry about drowning in the sea, but watch out for the fish and crabs in the sea. They will gnaw away from your legs until the bones are exposed.

If you're lucky, you won't die that day, and those fish will only reach your loins. One more day to eat your chests, and at the end I will have a whole pair of bones to collect as trophies. I don't know which of you will have the honor of being my trophy, I'll see! ”

When Ma Le finished translating, the faces of all the dried silk people changed. Living people are eaten little by little by fish and crabs, and they have never heard of this kind of torture.

Fernandez forced himself to composure, and he took a step forward and said, "Your Excellency, I, as a baron, demand justice, and my family will pay a ransom befitting my status. If the Ganlasi people are not treated fairly, the Ganlasi royal family will send troops to crusade against Your Excellency, and please think twice about what else to do. ”

Li Zhen smiled after hearing Fernandez's words, and said, "As the captain of the baron, you will be the first to enjoy such treatment. The bones of a nobleman add a lot of color to my loot. ”

The members of the death squad were given orders to ignore Fernandez's resistance. Strip him naked and tie him to a stake.

Fernandez, who was tied to a stake, regretted that he should not have had any aristocratic rules with the barbarian Orientals.

He was now tied to a stake, and as time passed, the water began to rise.

When the water reached his calf, Fernandez saw small fish walking around him in the water, and from time to time they hit his leg, which made Fernandez frightened every time.

The sensation in his legs was even more pronounced as the sea water flooded his chest. From the initial gentle impact, but then there was some stinging, and finally it turned out to be a kind of torment.

When a crab clamped his foot with a big crow, Fernandez couldn't hold back any longer. He tore open his throat and howled, "Oh God! Get me off the damn stake, you can know anything. Please! ……”

Fernandez's voice was hoarse, and Li Zhen and Ma Lecai came slowly on the sampan.

Li Zhen also said very regretfully: "It's a pity! I thought there would be a baron's bones in my booty, how good it would be for you to hold on! ”

Fernandez shook his head like a rattle, and no longer cared about the image of an aristocracy. As long as he can get out of this damn beach, he's willing to sell his soul to the devil.

It wasn't until years later, when Fernandez had become a member of the empire, that he learned from Mal that the confession was nothing more than a lie. He just happened to be caught by a crab, and he wouldn't be eaten at all.

The Changxing Army immediately interrogated the captives separately, and after getting the information they wanted to know, several of them fell silent.

They all came to the conclusion that Manila is not easy to play. First of all, there were eight warships in the port of Manila, and there were 700 musketeers in the city.

There were even 18-pounder heavy cannons on the walls, which were almost a nightmare for attackers. The five-mile distance between the city of Manila and the wharf is full of dwellings, inhabited by local natives, Han Chinese, and some merchants.

Once the Changxing army raided the port, it would inevitably cause alarm in Manila City. By then, the city gates had been closed, and Manila could not be defeated by less than 1,000 soldiers. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
