Chapter 853: Luzon (2)

I don't know how long it took, but Negre, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a faint roar in his ears. … Top Novel,

Awakened, Negre looked up at the bright sky in confusion.

The scorching sun is still swaying his enthusiasm in mid-air. A few white clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. Where is the slightest hint of rain on a sunny day?

"Did you hear that?" Negre, whose brow was furrowing, turned to the officers and sailors on the deck and asked.

The Spanish sailors looked at each other, and soon all fell silent, listening intently to the faint sound.

And then......

"It really seems to be thundering?" An officer with a beard on his face looked up at the clear sky in confusion, and turned around to look around. "But there doesn't seem to be any sign of rain clouds all around."

"It seems that there really is."

"Hmm."

"The sound is very dense, it is completely loud, and it seems that the rain is not small."

"It's a long way off, right? The voice is so small that you can't hear it at all if you don't listen attentively. ”

"It doesn't feel like thunder when you hear it."

......

"It sounds a bit like the sound of a cannon being fired." An officer quipped. Not enough, no one will think that this is firing a cannon. With such a dense shelling, how many cannons would have to open fire to do it? Where in this sea could there be such a large fleet?

"It's really !! to open fire" Listen to the voices in the distance getting louder and denser. Negre, whose expression was gradually becoming serious, suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Quick! Fast! Fast! Order all ships to raise their sails and anchor!! ”

In the age of sailing, it was not easy to get a huge sailboat in motion. Just trying to lift all the huge sails required a large number of sailors to climb up and down. The ropes on a large sailing ship are at least a few thousand meters or even tens of kilometers long!

Admiral Negre's loud shouts also made the officers and sailors who were still laughing and chatting react. As soon as these people listened carefully, their originally indifferent faces instantly turned pale.

They are all old sailors who have been begging for life at sea for so many years. There have been many exchanges of fire with the navies and pirates of other countries, how can the sound of artillery not be heard?

At first, I just didn't think about it. Because these people did not think that such a large fleet would appear in the vicinity. But when they really listen and discern now, they quickly understand. That's really shelling!

This is the territory of the Spanish Empire, and their fleets are all in the harbor. And just by listening to the dense roar of cannons, you know that it can't be the strength that those old opponents in the Spice Islands can have!

An unknown, powerful fleet appeared near Spanish territory. And it's still firing intensively?! In this era, anyone dares to do anything to raid the port!

As long as the head is not stupid, anyone can guess. On this sea, at this moment, it is estimated that only the fleet of the Ming Empire, which taught the Dutch and the Portuguese a hard lesson, can achieve such a scale of shelling!

And the target of their shelling...... Many people's hearts began to contract rapidly. They really didn't expect that that powerful fleet would come here to launch a surprise attack on them without declaring a war!

"Signal the Tople and Zelta at once! Let's just say that I'll take command of them at once in the name of the fleet commander and hoist the sails and anchor now! Fast! Fast! Fast! Negre clutched his hands on the side of the ship, his eyes reddened as he looked at the two treasure ships not far away, and shouted at the sailors beside him.

To be able to make such a dense artillery bombardment, how many huge warships would have to do it? Thinking of the rumors circulating everywhere about the Ming Empire's naval fleet during this time, Negre felt the corners of his eyes twitch slightly.

He no longer expected the patrol ships to come back alive, he only hoped to be able to take all the ships out of the harbor before the enemy fleet arrived. Instead of being blocked in the harbor and beaten up!

Once the warships of the Age of Sail are blocked in the harbor, they will almost completely lose the ability to resist!

"Send someone to the shore and tell the garrison of the fortress, and ask them to immediately gather people to go to the residential area of those Ming people!" Negre's originally flushed complexion looked very hideous at this time. Gritting his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot and red, "Capture as many people as you can as captives." If anyone dares to resist, they will all be killed! ”

General Negre, who was suddenly attacked, was extremely angry at the Ming Empire, which had not declared war. Although they often do this kind of thing, when this kind of thing falls on their heads, the treatment is naturally different.

He was determined to take revenge on the other party. Either take some captives and take them hostage, or kill them to vent your anger. Anyway, the Spaniards don't know how many of these yellow-skinned monkeys they have killed.

As for what if it wasn't the fleet of the Ming Empire that came from outside and killed the wrong person, so what? If these inferior people are killed, they will be killed. It's just sheep that are weaker than the natives.

Spaniards in the Philippines know that the yellow-skinned Ming people are very industrious and like to accumulate wealth.

Receiving orders to suppress the gathering places of the Ming people can not only eliminate these disgusting yellow-skinned people. You can also plunder and earn a lot of money. Of course, the army is willing to do such a thing.

Just when the entire Spanish fleet was panicking and began to make urgent preparations. Out of sight, the sound of dense shelling in the distant part of the sea gradually fell silent. It didn't take long for there to be complete silence.

Negre did not send any more reconnaissance ships to see what was going on. Now he just wants to take the whole fleet and teach a good lesson to those bastards who don't know the height of the sky and dare to humiliate the Spanish Empire!

To know. They are the mighty Spanish Empire! Not the Dutch and the Portuguese, the country turtles!

The seaport blockade tactics of this era have not yet officially appeared. For the countries of Europa, which were still poor at this time, (the first few to become rich in the Age of Discovery were Spain and Portugal.) The vast majority of their profits from the colonies were spent on lavish lifestyles and tribute to the construction of lavish monasteries for the Church. Instead of developing scientific and technological production and expanding armament capabilities. This is also an important reason why they can never turn back after their demise. At this time, England and other countries that were determined to forge ahead in the future were still very poor. It is a huge waste to keep a large number of fleets on the enemy's doorstep for blockade tactics for a long time.

The real seaport blockade tactics still have to wait until England, which has invested almost all its national power in the navy, really rises. In England seized the Queen's Crown Jewel. It was only after the land of prosperity and servility that India began to emerge. And this tactic was used until the end of World War II. But at that time it was called a remote blockade.

Naval tactics of this era, in addition to regular naval encounters. The most common thing to use is to raid the enemy's harbor and sink all the enemy fleets in the harbor. If the wooden sailboat sinks. There is no point in salvaging it.

Admiral Negre did not want his fleet to be beaten up in the harbor, so it became a priority for the entire fleet as soon as possible.

By the time the Spanish fleet sailed out one by one, a large fleet in the distance had already drawn several queues and rushed over!

This fleet is naturally the Ming Navy led by Gao Yang.

At this time, Gao Yang had already made up his mind to personally go to the vicinity of Sagittarius A to destroy the control hub of the Reaper fleet that threatened his hometown.

Until then, he needs to push things forward as much as possible on the Ming Dynasty's side. While laying a solid colonial foundation for the Ming Empire, obtain more energy points to prevent accidents.

Gao Yang always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he was going to destroy the Reaper's control center this time, as if something unexpected would happen.

Before leaving, Gao Yang had to complete all the preparations.

After the New Year's Festival, Gao Yang refocused his attention and focus back on the time and space of the Ming Dynasty. After careful preparations, he once again went to the South Seas with a large number of ships. The number one goal this time was that location was important. Luzon is rich in natural resources.

As for undeclared war or something, Gao Yang didn't care at all. The strength is enough to crush the opponent, who will go all the way to play some trick of declaring war? Cannons and shells are the most formal declaration of war!

In order to prevent the Spanish fleet from running around and causing trouble while fighting on land. Gao Yang began to cover the battlefield when the Ming Navy approached Luzon.

Any ship that comes into view, regardless of the country, is temporarily controlled. This was to prevent them from sending a message to the Spaniards and waiting until the war was over before letting them go. As for such a thing as compensation, where can there be such a thing in this era?! This is also the reason why not a single merchant ship has entered the port of Krabi in the past two days.

When the fleet of the Ming Navy quietly approached the sea off the port of Krabi before dawn with the cover of night. The two second-cargo Spanish patrol ships failed to see the size of the flotilla in the dark night, and stupidly leaned over to question the identity of the counter. Without saying a word, Gao Yang ordered the two unlucky ships to be sunk quickly.

Subsequently, wait until the convoy of transports behind catches up. And as soon as the sky began to lighten, the fleet began to speed towards the port of Krabiti.

At this point, there is no need to continue to hide their whereabouts, and it is enough to find that all the ships flying the Spanish flag have been sunk.

Wait until after dawn, when approaching the port of Cavite. Two more Spanish patrol boats approached again to inquire about their identities and intentions. Gao Yang played a trick to lure them closer. Try to sink them quickly again.

But these Spaniards were not stupid to see a fleet of ships of this size approaching the port. Immediately, he wanted to turn the bow of the ship and flee back to report the news. Since you can't cheat, let's fight.

The battleship turned, revealing the dense gun emplacements on the side of the battleship. The advanced long-range artillery produced in modern time and space quickly tore the two Spanish patrol ships to shreds with a dense rain of bullets.

When Admiral Negre's fleet had not yet rushed out of port. There was also no time to line up the battle formation. The invincible armada of the Ming Navy had already rushed over.

A closed-door and dog-fighting operation will soon begin. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, and your support. That's what motivates me. )
