At the moment when Liang Pengfei and the others were evacuating according to the platoon and arranging the tail sweeping work, on the Spanish flagship in the Western pirate warship group outside Liang Island, Colonel Alfonso was holding a telescope and observing the gunpowder smoke floating over King Crab Island, his brows sometimes locked, sometimes stretched.

Because of the obscuring of the view of the Crab's Foot Gorge, Colonel Alfonso could only guess the course of the war by the intensity of the gunfire, but the sound of gunfire that had just faintly come out of the channel had stopped, and the pirates who poured into the channel did not hear the cheers they were most accustomed to when they were victorious, which made Colonel Alfonso feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

The pirate chiefs and the Spanish naval officers, who had formed their own social circles on the deck of the warship, had stopped talking and laughing with each other, and looked at the strait with puzzled eyes, as if trying to see something from the clouds of smoke floating above the strait.

At this time, a number of clippers crowded in the strait slowly retreated, and one of them headed towards Colonel Alfonso's flagship as fast as it could. It was the clipper he had sent to the Luzon fleet to oversee the pirates, and Colonel Alfonso's gaze froze when he saw the hole in the sail and the bullet marks on the hull.

Soon, a Spanish lieutenant ascended the aft tower with some embarrassment, and reported the news he had just received to the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Colonel Alfonso.

"What? More than 30 clippers, more than 2,000 people, and the effort is gone in just a while? Alfonso wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, or if there was something wrong with his pocket watch, which had only gone around half a circle from the time the first clipper ship rushed into the strait, and in half an hour, more than 30 clippers and more than 2,000 Western pirates had been wiped out.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Yes, Colonel, I saw with my own eyes that the enemy was very strong in fire, and the defensive positions were strong, and the pirates were under heavy artillery fire as soon as they approached the docks......" The lieutenant, who had a stained uniform and a bullet hole in his hat, and whose face was blackened, clearly recounted to Alfonso what he had observed in the fierce battle.

When they heard that the other side had arranged a heavy artillery position behind the dock, and in less than two minutes, they had sunk seven armed clippers in the waterway without resistance, and everyone felt that the corners of their eyes were twitching.

Next to him, the corners of a proud Spanish officer's mouth curved slightly: "Did those pirates rush forward regardless of the formation without making any formation adjustments?" And they won't cover and rescue each other, right? ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, it does." The lieutenant who had come to report the news thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively. "But the strength of the other side's firepower is also an important reason, according to the frequency of their firepower, I think, at least nearly two thousand, yes, at least more than two thousand defenders, otherwise, our allies would not have been wiped out so easily."

Under the lieutenant's intentional or unintentional exaggeration, Colonel Alfonso was much more relaxed, because if the defender had strong fire support, with the same force, it could indeed cripple the attacking opponent of the same strength in a short time.

But they could not have imagined that the total number of Chinese pirates on the dock and the artillery position was only 1,000, and the other 1,000 were still hidden in the shadows, eyeing each other, and if Alfonso knew the truth, perhaps, his first thought would not be to continue the attack and consume the strength of his allies.

Instead, they seriously thought about how to deal with these fierce Oriental pirates in this battle.

"No wonder there was such a big loss. Our allies have lived up to their name as pirates, what a rabble. Most of the Spanish officers standing on the rear tower had an unsurprising look on their faces, as if they were not standing here with a group of naval officers, but with a group of Western Zhuge Shenshu with feather dusters.

Alfonso's brow did not let this loosen, and carefully asked the lieutenant some questions he wanted to know. Finally, Alfonso shook his head: "Although those allies of ours are too underestimated, it also proves that the strength of those pirates of the East is still quite strong, otherwise, it would not have been possible for our allies to lose so much in such a short period of time." ”

"How is this possible, if they are strong enough, why should they run away?" One officer had a somewhat dissenting opinion.

"This is a question that perhaps only the cunning Orientals can understand, who always like to say and do things that are inexplicable." A naval officer who had been in Luning for more than two years shrugged his shoulders and interjected.

"Well, anyway, since those Eastern pirates have revealed their strength, now go and ask our allies to come over, perhaps, it's time for them to appear." Alfonso set his eyes on the pirate leaders, a hint of mockery on his lips.

Well, withstanding the first wave of attacks, and causing these vile pirates to lose thirty or so clippers, this made Colonel Alfonso feel that it was the best news he had heard since the army set out from Manila, and it was now in the interest of the Spanish colonies to continue to let these pirates continue to fight with the pirates of the East.

The Spanish officers behind him all had the same expressions, and it was quite a pleasure for them to let these pirates go to their deaths.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Dear Mr. Colonel, although we have lost some allies, our strength is still there, and this wave of tentative attacks has made it clear to us that the number of Eastern pirates defending on the island will not exceed two thousand, and they have lost at least hundreds of people in the battle just now, so I think we should continue to launch powerful and effective attacks without giving them a chance to breathe." The wig James gracefully extended his tail finger and scratched the top of the wig's head. It was as if he had just leaned on the side of the breastwork of the dock and counted the corpses of the Oriental pirates lying on the ground.

"I agree with you, Mr. James, what do you think, Mr. Liu?" Alfonso looked serious and looked at Liu Qiqiao, who was sitting next to the wig James.

"I also agree with Mr. James's proposal, although our warships are strong enough and the artillery fire is powerful enough, but I think that we should still attack by clippers, because the strait is narrow, and the light and small clippers can exert their fast speed, and since the opponent's artillery is placed behind the dock, then, as long as we don't deal with the Spanish treasure ships and attack the dock with all our might, then, their heavy artillery will not be able to threaten us......" Liu Qiqiao said in a high-sounding manner, but in fact, which of the people here would not understand his mind?

In addition to the five clippers under Liu Qiqiao, there are three warships, even if the clippers are all lost, Liu Qiqiao will not be a pity, but if those warships loaded with powerful firepower and rich materials lose one, Liu Qiqiao is afraid that he will have the mind to wipe his neck, you know, he fled to the South Seas, and it took a lot of effort to fight to the death, and he made up three battleships.

Similarly, Liu Qiqiao's proposal was unanimously agreed by all the pirate leaders present, the clipper ship was originally a consumable for the warship in the naval battle, and if they could really rely on the clipper to take down the crab king island, they would still make a lot of money.

Although some of the little pirate leaders had grievances in their hearts, after the wig James and others proposed to send several clippers as strikers to participate in this wave of attacks, the last trace of resentment disappeared without a trace.
