Chapter 854: Luzon (3)

"Are you all ready?" A lean man with a dark complexion and a short outfit quietly approached the window on the second floor of a wooden house. ○ Eyes swept to the Spanish soldiers who were lining up outside the window, and asked their colleagues in a low voice.

"Reply, all ready. Just wait for those Francos to throw themselves into the net. A young man with a faint fluff on his mouth said with a grin.

This is a Ming gathering area near the port of Krabite. Most of the people who live here are Han Chinese who come to Luzon to make a living.

Among them were merchants who had come south to do business with the Spaniards, as well as expatriates who had set up a business in the area and wanted to live here. There are also a lot of piglets who are trafficked here to do hard labor.

This is the territory of the Spaniards.

The industrious Han Chinese were soon able to earn a lot of wealth in this rich land with their own hands. This wealth was more of a disaster in this era for the Han people who had no ability to resist.

Those local natives who have been lazy as pigs all their lives have been bullying and blackmailing these Han people under the instigation of the Spaniards, and the contradictions between the two sides are very deep. This was also the division of the Spaniards in order to facilitate their rule.

Sometimes, these Spaniards, who imposed heavy taxes on the industrious Han Chinese, would take matters into their own hands. Every few years, a leek-like harvest is launched.

They will have organized, planned mass murder of the Han people who live here, robbing them of their women and wealth. After the blood is washed away, it continues to attract a new group of hard-working Han people to come here and continue to do their hard work. After a few years, cut the leeks again.

This large-scale massacre and plundering by the Spaniards continued until they were driven out of Luzon by the Americans.

In this long river of time, I don't know how many people's souls and bones are crying silently. I don't know how many Han daughters were slaved by the Spaniards and natives. Their blood feud is rarely even mentioned!

Even so. In the modern time and space, there are still countless people who are crazy about those Spanish football clubs. Cheer for them and bless them. And willingly give a large sum of money.

This kind of thing, even just thinking about it will make Gao Yang feel sad. Someone hit him on the left side of the face. And take the initiative to send the right cheek up with a smile!

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Gao Yang quietly sent an elite team to mix in the merchant ship queue a few days ago. hid in this gathering place of the Ming people.

When those Spaniards are really ready to take out the anger of the Ming people here, this elite team of no more than 100 people will take on the responsibility of protecting this place. They only need to support until the naval fleet successfully enters the port, and then the Ming Dynasty has the final say.

What the Spaniards have done, Gao Yang knows very well, which is the main reason why he wants to directly open another opponent before solving the Dutch.

When I don't have the ability, I can only watch and endure, and my heart is constantly dripping with blood. However, when he now has the ability to take revenge on all these humiliations, Gao Yang will definitely not tremble when he makes a move!

......

The roar of artillery fire shook the sea. The otherwise calm sea was swept up by the powerful weapons invented by humans. Furious.

With bursts of flames like fiery red clouds lit up in front of countless gun emplacements, this small sea area seemed to be violently stirred by the angry Sea Emperor Poseidon at this time!

Countless lead bullets with death greetings pierced the sky and slammed into the sea, stirring up countless boiling columns of water.

The huge ship frantically moved forward in a column of towering water, the gunsmoke on the side deck was filled, and countless long-range heavy guns let out a deafening roar!

There were constantly scattered and fluttering waves surging up and down, washing fiercely on the deck. The originally smooth deck was now misty with bright red colors.

Bullets rained down and gunsmoke billowed out. The ears of the sailors who were frantically fiddling with the guns were filled with a non-stop thunder. And that terrifying and terrifying majestic voice was like thousands of wild lions and angry tigers, roaring and rushing directly in front of him!

The human body is useless in the face of this powerful weapon that carries enormous kinetic energy. At this time, even wearing underwear outside will not help. If anyone is unfortunate enough to be hit by a whistling shell. Or rubbed it. It would be extremely difficult to leave a whole corpse behind.

"Shh Gao Yang, who was holding a telescope in his hand and observing the overall battle situation in the command cabin, raised his eyebrows lightly, and pouted, "The Spaniards on the other side have two hits." ”

"Commander." Fu Yao, chief of staff of the fleet, said calmly: "The commander of the enemy fleet made full use of the terrain conditions in the narrow harbor and the protective shelter of the islands and reefs, so that the quantitative and qualitative superiority of our army was temporarily suppressed. Eventually, however, this situation will change. After all. The huge gap in strength between the two sides is far from being able to be reversed by superb command skills and special terrain. ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded slightly, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed. The slightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed. No matter how the Spaniards on the other side struggled, the final outcome was already predestined.

Previously, Gao Yang personally led the large fleet to rush towards the small convoy of the Spaniards. Trying to send those small boats to the bottom of the sea with powerful firepower in one fell swoop.

However, the extremely experienced Negre will soon notice that something is wrong through the telescope. The Ming Navy on the opposite side not only has an absolute advantage in numbers, but they are not the small ships they used to know. This time, all the people who came to Krabi Port were super giant ships that he had never seen before!

Watch as those huge warships flying the Sun, Moon and Dragon Flags surging forward. Negre suddenly felt that there were 100,000 grass and mud horse beasts roaring past him.

"It's not scientific!"

Negre will feel like his brain and eyes are running out of his head. Where did such a huge warship come from?! Just by looking at it, you can predict that the ship must be filled with countless deadly guns!

Negre now more or less understood why the Dutch and Portuguese were so indifferent. Facing opponents of this number and level. Not to mention hillbillies like the Dutch and Portuguese. Even if God comes, I can't bear it.

He had also thought of using the big ships in his hands to rush out of the harbor and teach the yellow-skinned monkeys who dared to offend the majesty of the Spanish Empire. Who would have thought that the huge warship in his hand would become a small point in front of the fleet of the Ming Empire!

Most of the ships on the opposite side were bigger than the largest Spanish galleon in his hands! And in terms of quantity, it is completely desperate!

General Negre, who could barely suppress the shock in his heart, immediately ordered to go back immediately, using the various islands and reefs in the harbor as cover, and played a game of hide and seek with the warships of the Ming Empire.

Although I already have a bad premonition in my heart. But as a commander, General Negre still chose to do his best for his empire!

His only hope now is that the fleet on the other side is a rabble, and the training morale is super bad. Only then would he have a glimmer of hope of escaping.

It's just that the reality is always cruel to the point of despair.

The weak fleet on the opposite side, which was despised and ridiculed in the past, has now been transformed into an elite navy with advanced tactics and accurate gunnony!

If it weren't for the distance, and the fact that the Spanish ships were hiding behind the reefs. At this time, Negre will have at least half of the ships under his command!

Even so, it has only been a little more than half an hour since the shelling began from the opposite side. Already more than a dozen warships, large and small, have been hit several times. Two ships were sunk, and many were damaged by fire!

"It's not scientific!!"

Negre will watch as a lighted dhow spins and slowly sinks not far away. The sailors on the ship jumped into the sea with a howl of 'poof, poof'. However, the dense shells fired from a distance still landed accurately near the ship. He couldn't understand how those Ming Empire gunners were trained!

Such a distance is almost the limit of the firing distance of long-range artillery on one's own fleet. And in the harbor with complex terrain, they can still hit so accurately?!

"The Zelta is on fire!!" A terrible shout made Admiral Negre's heart tremble. He hurriedly turned to look the other way.

He saw that the rear mast of the Zelta, which weighed more than eight hundred tons, had already fallen diagonally towards the sea with a quivering low sound. The sails of the warship had been lit, and the flames were spreading rapidly, and it would not be long before the entire ship would be consumed.

As one of the largest ships in the Spanish fleet, the Zelta will inevitably attract attention. I used to toss and turn under the command of the captain, and with the help of the cover of the islands and reefs, I finally survived until now. And then its good fortune finally ran out.

"......" Negre looked at the Zelta in the distance with a complicated expression. There was a chill in the depths of my heart. The ship was loaded with a large amount of Mexican silver ingots that had not yet had time to be unloaded! Those are the property of the Spanish royal family! Now they're going to sink to the bottom of the sea. How is he going to explain it to the king?!

"General!" The bearded first mate of the Stina Kaya rushed over and shouted with a sad expression, "This can't be done again!" The artillery fire of the enemy fleet was simply too fierce. Our counterattacks simply won't be able to inflict decent damage on the enemy, and if we continue like this, sooner or later we'll be all consumed! ”

"So what do you say you should do?" How many generals Negre, who had always had a resolute expression, finally showed a touch of sadness on his face: "Do you rush out, or surrender?" (To be continued.) )
