Chapter 1102: Into the City

Just when the Spanish captain was calculating, suddenly more than a dozen warships fired in unison, and that earth-shattering sound made the entire warship can't help but raise their heads!

It has not yet reached the range of artillery, so it is impossible for none of these guns to hit them! These shells just fell on the sea in the distance, stirring up countless splashes!

Even the guns of their Spanish warships had not yet come into range, so how could the guns of these Eastern warships be within range? In fact, it really can't hit them.

But many people, including the captain, were silent, and their faces were gloomy and about to drip water! These cannons have not yet been fired when their ships are in range, not to bombard their ships, but to bombard their confidence!

The guns on these ships were not much weaker than theirs! These cannons are all new! Seeing the huge fleet of these forty warships, thinking about the dense cannon ports he saw, the Spanish captain's cold sweat fell.

This is simply some backward Eastern warship, this is an Eastern warship with as much firepower as them! Not to mention that they have one warship, even if they have four warships, they have no certainty of victory!

Not to mention that now, they are like fools who plunge headlong into the encirclement of these Eastern warships with powerful firepower, which is simply self-defeating! With such a huge contrast, with such a powerful firepower, how could he rush out with this warship?

"Captain, what should I do?" "Captain, what are we going to do?" The reason why these people asked like this is because they all know that in the face of forty warships with powerful firepower, as long as the encirclement is narrowed and only one salvo is needed, their warships will be full of holes and buried at the bottom of the sea!

If they resist, there is only one way to perish, but these eastern warships did not destroy them directly, but fired their cannons in advance to deter, what does this mean? This shows that there is still a way out!

The only way to survive is to surrender! There is nothing shameful in surrendering! They only have one warship, and in the face of forty warships with strong firepower, they have no choice but to surrender!

So the captain said with difficulty: "Raise the white flag and surrender!" ”

Compared with the solemnity and panic on the Spanish warships, Zhang Zhijie's warships were all very leisurely, and after the artillery was fired, Zhang Zhijie kept looking at the Spanish warships with a long look.

They have already fired a warning shot, and these Spaniards should also know the huge gap between them, so they should not stubbornly resist and kill themselves! It doesn't matter if you kill yourself, don't drag my warship to accompany the funeral, Zhang Zhijie muttered while observing in his heart!

But not long after, the Spanish warship finally put up a white flag, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but smile, these Spaniards are still interesting, and they didn't continue to resist!

Zhang Zhijie put down the binoculars, turned around and smiled: "These Spaniards are still knowledgeable about current affairs, and they have already raised the white flag to surrender!" Chang Yun, you rush up with four warships, disarm and take prisoners, if there is any dishonesty, you will be killed! ”

Chang Yun immediately responded in a deep voice, turned around and got off the ship to mobilize the warship. After Zhang Zhijie finished his order, he turned around and instructed Feng Haisheng: "Don't be careless, if these Spaniards are unwilling to be captured, if there is any abnormal move, they will directly bombard the matter!" ”

Chang Yun rushed up directly with four warships, and the more than thirty warships in the distance were still on alert, and there was no gap because these four warships rushed up.

Originally, the Spanish captain was not without other thoughts, if these Oriental warships were careless because they saw them hoisting the white flag, then he would definitely take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and sail away!

Yes, the Spanish captain planned to sail away, ignoring even the three warships on the island, because he knew that even if four warships were combined against forty ships with strong firepower, it would be difficult to be sure of victory!

So he planned to sail directly and return to the Americas to report the news, because they still have a powerful fleet stationed in the Americas, their invincible Spanish naval fleet!

But this illusion was shattered, because these eastern warships did not show any flaws from beginning to end, facing the four warships that met them. Especially when they got closer, seeing the dense arquebuses on the other side's ship, the captain and his subordinates were completely and completely honest.

Soon these Spaniards were disarmed, and then they were put on different ships in batches, and their ships were piloted by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to join the ranks of the Ming fleet! Anyway, they were all Western warships, no different from the Portuguese warships.

Zhang Zhijie didn't see these Spaniards, because he couldn't understand what these Spaniards were saying, and there were no Spanish speakers on the ship, so he could only tie them up!

The capture of a Spanish warship was just a trivial matter for Zhang Zhijie, after all, he had brought forty warships!

After this episode, the huge fleet sailed towards Manila again, and the fleet soon arrived at the port of Manila, where Zhang Zhijie saw the three Spanish warships anchored there at first sight.

Very good, three more warships were started, and they were all warships that were not damaged, which made Zhang Zhijie extremely satisfied, and the generals of the sailors began to board the dock one after another.

Chang Yun was the first to go ashore and immediately led people to search for the Spaniards' warship, which was empty, and in addition to ammunition supplies, there were also Spaniards' trophies.

Zhang Zhijie immediately began to deploy, Chang Yun led four Spanish warships and six Ming warships to inspect the harbor, while Zhang Zhijie and Feng Haisheng led three thousand soldiers to Manila!

Originally, Zhang Zhijie thought that he would encounter resistance, but it turned out that Manila was an empty city at all, except for the ravaged Luzon, there were no Spaniards stationed at all!

In fact, Manila was garrisoned, and the Spaniards left more than 100 people to garrison Manila, and the captain saw that a fleet appeared at sea, so he took some people to sail out to meet the battle, but still left more than a dozen Spaniards stationed!

But these Spaniards saw that their warships had been captured, and in the face of the dozens of warships on the sea, they only had a dozen people who would definitely not be able to hold Manila City, so they directly abandoned the city and went to report the news!

So Zhang Zhijie easily led the troops into Manila City, but now Manila City no longer has the original vigorous and prosperous scene, only lifeless.
