Chapter Eighty-Six: Despair!

Nineteen captured warships, plus the original three of the Liang family, and five under the command of Shi Xianggu, a total of twenty-seven tall and majestic warships, the total number of heavy guns on one side is more than 500 high, on the wide sea outside the dock, lined up in a linear array, the rumbling cannons like rolling thunder, like a volcano from hell rising to the sea, are pouring hot and hot magma towards the Namanila dock.

As a result, many Spanish soldiers and civilians with guns who were hiding in bunkers were either blown away by the intense shock wave, or buried alive by the mud and gravel lifted by the heavy artillery.

The city of Manila was full of terror, and the Spaniards fled in a hurry, not caring about the manners of ladies and gentlemen, and some of them did not even have time to put on their shoes, so they held their children, took their wives or lovers, and ran towards the south gate of Manila with all their might.

Originally, the city relied only on the more than a hundred guards in the governor's palace to maintain order, but now, in addition to an extra musket in their hands and an extra dagger in their waists, the eyes full of fear and despair, and the hurried footsteps and shouts of those guards were not much different from those of the timid civilians.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I advise you to leave Manila immediately." Major Diego drew his command knife from his waist, and after greeting Governor Marcello's head, he walked resolutely to the gate.

"Major, Major Diego, where are you going?" The six gods of Governor Marcello are like gamblers who have been approached by creditors.

Major Diego had a sad smile on his face: "My soldiers are struggling under enemy fire, and as a commander, I must go and command them to fight, so that those damned Qing pirates understand that we Spaniards do not lack the courage to fight, even in the face of a strong enemy." Take care, Lord Doge. ”

Looking at Major Diego's back, Governor Mahanro sat down weakly on a chair. It was like a terminally ill old man, with trembling lips muttering to himself: "Manila, the kingdom's most important colony in the East, is this the end?" God, where are you ......"

--------------------

In this completely Western-style building, it looks so white and immaculate in the sun, and the windows that are even inlaid with metal look extremely luxurious in the sun, but now, it seems to be dyed with a layer of decaying gray.

The roar of the cannons that changed the color of the storm continued, like a never-ending storm, on the dock, there were no more soldiers who fought back bravely, only piles of broken bones, and those terrible pits that were smashed out by the heavy artillery, there were ruins everywhere, on the docks, there was almost no finished thing, and from time to time the heavy shells that screamed and smashed down, and a layer of flying ash and debris flew sideways.

"Is this the pearl of our kingdom, the beautiful Manila City Pier?" The command knife in Major Diego's hand trembled slightly, and the one hundred and fifty Spanish soldiers and two hundred heavily armed civilians who had rushed to the edge of the dock with him were also trembling, their hands holding their guns, their feet standing on the ground, and even their hearts and souls, all trembling under the fire of the molten city and destroying the country!

At this moment, the armed gunboats of the Spanish Luzon fleet appeared in the distance, and although they bravely attacked the invaders, the opposing warships continued to bombard the pier indiscriminately.

And those armed gunboats and clippers, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, were like a pack of wolves, frantically rushing towards those brave Spanish navies, and the end was already on the table, waiting for their fate, either to be sunk or captured.

Liang Pengfei saw that in the telescope, the dying struggles of those Spanish gunboats were exchanged for extremely fierce artillery attacks, and even one gunboat did not even have time to turn around before it was blown up and sunk in the sea by crazy artillery fire.

"These losers! A gunboat is tens of thousands of taels of silver, how can it be so wasted. Damn Zhang Xingba, when he comes back, Lao Tzu must kick his ass hard! It's just that I don't feel distressed about selling Yetian. Young Master Liang gritted his teeth and scolded in distress, and Shi Xianggu couldn't help but be gentle when he heard it. At this moment, she felt that Liang Pengfei's actions and surname were in line with his immature age, and there was a trace of intimacy in her eyes when she looked at Liang Pengfei.

The excellent tradition of the Spanish Navy did not stop the fear of death, and after that maddening siege and shelling, the remaining Spanish ships that did not want to end up with the gunboat soon raised the white flag, and the pirates could not help but cheer at the sight of this scene, and their morale was more and more invigorated!

"It's over, the Luzon fleet of the Kingdom of Spain has been completely wiped out...... Major Diego's mouth showed a bitter smile, all hope has been completely shattered at this moment, and what still supports them to stand here is only a long time of training, and the determination to prove their courage by death...... --------------------

"Battleship, reach nearly 500 meters, re-line and shoot, and blast the walls of Manila into rubble for me!" Liang Pengfei was quite satisfied with the effect of the shelling, and the effect of the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery pieces made Liang Pengfei feel both proud and happy.

Shi Xianggu, who had the same emotion, also whispered: "Fortunately, those pirates and Spaniards were forced down that day, otherwise, the consequences would be a little unpredictable." ”

Hearing Shi Xianggu's words beside him, Liang Pengfei smiled: "It's a pity that there are not so many assumptions in the world, and now, these sharp weapons that attack us have become our means to deal with them, I don't know what kind of expression the governor of Luzon will have now, I really want to see that stupid bird." ”

"Liang Shao, can we go ashore? Now it seems that the docks show no signs of resistance. Shi Xianggu raised her eyes and looked at the tall Liang Pengfei beside her, I don't know why, now Shi Xianggu feels that there are many things, she no longer hides them in her heart silently like before, and prefers to put forward the problem and hand it over to this young man who is several years younger than herself to solve.

Liang Pengfei shook his head: "No, I haven't hurt them yet, and more importantly, I want to beat them a few more times to let them understand who is the boss here." ”

Shi Xianggu rolled her beautiful eyes speechlessly, and her coquettish expression made Master Liang's heart sway. Shi Dakai watched the conversation between the two with cold eyes, and after seeing the expression of Young Master Liang's eyes, he coughed dissatisfiedly.

"Brother Shi, what's wrong with your throat, it's because the smoke of the artillery fire is uncomfortable, do you need me to bring you a glass of water?" The cheeky Young Master Liang had a concerned expression, just like the affection of his brother-in-law who was concerned about his brother-in-law, which made Shi Da open his face with black lines, and goosebumps on his body rose one after another.

"No need, thank you Liang Shao, what do you want to do with those Spanish officers?" Shi Dakai quickly interjected, and shook his chin in a certain direction on the side of the ship, where eleven Spanish officers stood except for Colonel Alfonso, their pale cheeks, trembling strands, and the godless scattered gaze, revealing the shock in their hearts and the fear of death.

"Them?" Young Master Liang glanced at the group of trembling plague chickens from the corner of his eyes, his eyes full of disdain. "Naturally, after our bombardment, let them become envoys to persuade the Spanish governor to surrender."

"Persuasion?" Steward Lu subconsciously plucked out his ears, did he hear it right? The young master actually wants the other party to offer a table?

Shi Xianggu's eyes full of doubts also projected on Liang Pengfei's body. The pirates behind him also all looked at Young Master Liang stupidly.

"Why, can't the Spanish governor of Luzon surrender to a pirate leader?!" Liang Pengfei felt angry when he saw these goose-like subordinates.

"Of course you can, but young master, aren't we here to rob Luzon?" A small boss stepped forward and asked a stupid question.

Young Master Liang crooked his nose angrily, and kicked over: "Silly bird! Resisting our robbery with knives and guns, or offering wealth with obedient hands, which one do you think is more fulfilling? ”

The little pirate leader who was kicked laughed dryly: "The young master is wise and martial, of course the latter has a greater sense of achievement." ”

"If you dare to choose the former, the young master will definitely hang you on the mast and turn you into jerky." Bai Shusheng whispered happily.

"I call you, scholar!" The little boss hatefully raised his middle finger at the bad embryo of the white scholar.

"Okay, don't quarrel with Lao Tzu, and then argue with you to jump into the sea for me to wake up!" Young Master Liang rolled his eyelids and looked at the approaching city of Manila, at this time, the battleships began to shoot horizontally again, and the guns stretched out their hideous and ferocious muzzles from the gun window, and began to aim towards the city wall of Manila City...... Seeing that the shelling stopped, Major Diego, who thought that those Qing pirates were preparing to land forcibly, plucked up his courage, led his excellent soldiers, as well as those brave civilians, to rush into the dock and clean up those bunkers, although the dock fortifications and shore artillery positions have been completely turned into ruins, but Major Diego still hopes to lay out a line of defense before the other party rushes to the dock, so that those Qing pirates can taste their strength.

However, he had simply cleared a position and lined up the soldiers in battle formation, the opposing warships stopped again, and the guns bombarded indiscriminately again, Major Diego closed his eyes in despair, and approached the relentless fire of the meteorite on the other day, but he only heard the scream of the heavy cannon in his ears, and then a huge explosion and collapse sound sounded behind him.
