"It can't be. ¤ "Fourth Sister Hong already felt that it was dark in front of her eyes and almost fell down. Although Christine is the supreme commander of the detachment, the people she brings with her are all Ming people. Many of them are the clans of the Hong family, even if the level is limited, it is impossible to turn back at this time.

"Blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have released those Spanish prisoners of war. I'm going to skin her and twitch her tendons. Hong Simei was furious and pulled out a short gun, but Li Yanqing stopped her hand and said: "Now if you are in a hurry, you will completely mess up, and there is no need to fight this battle." The ships of our detachment are not less than the other side, and the guns are not worse than the other side, so let's fight. Remember, I am with you, we are born together and die together. Come, I'll go out with you. It's not a big deal, the worst outcome is that both fall into each other's traps. ”

He said it hard, but the truth is not so simple. Although in order to strengthen the attacking force, the troops that captured Manila were equipped with all the heavy artillery, and reinforced 1,000 Zhejiang soldiers, so that the number of Zhejiang soldiers in the attacking force was as high as 4,000. But the problem is that Spain also built a fortress on the base in Manila. The troops of the Ming Dynasty, how many ways to take this kind of fortress, who said well.

Before, he pinned his hopes on Manila's chess pieces to close the inside and outside, but the current situation shows that the two most important chess pieces are against the water, and he is not sure about the reliability of the other chess pieces. Even Christine ran away at this critical moment, can others believe it?

He glanced back at Xie Yunsheng, "You are also forcibly occupied by me, if you hate me in your heart, it is better to stab me now." If it's late, I'm afraid I won't have a chance. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yunsheng's slap had already slapped him in the face. Then he jumped up and hugged him regardless of Qiē, and took the initiative to kiss "Master." Do you know how much I hated you and wanted to kill you? But since I heard you say. All women are your heart, and I can't do without you. I just want you to stab me hard, like these ridiculous nights. You bullied me in the past, and you slapped me in the face just now. If anyone wants to stab you, I will stab him to death, even against Ye Feihuan, I will not be soft, I just ask you to let me call you a husband. ”

"I've taken charge of it for him." Hong Simei said: "If we can win, we will also handle your marriage." If you can't win. When you get down there, let you be a big woman. ”

Although under Li Yanqing's personal inspection, the morale of the entire fleet was greatly improved, especially the flagship taking the lead, which encouraged the morale of the troops, but the battle situation was not optimistic.

In terms of the number of ships, after Christine's fleet broke away from the ranks, the two fleets were on par with each other. On the quality of the vessels. Hu Jingshui's new type of sail battleship, which combines China and the West, is not inferior in performance to that of Spanish warships. In terms of the quality of the artillery, the East India Company was equipped with more advanced cannons, including many bronze cannons, which were more powerful than the iron cannons on the Spanish side.

But the problem was the crew sailors on the side of the East India Company. It's just that the second- and third-line troops, the gunnery and ship control skills are slightly insufficient compared with the enemy. Although it was the East India Company that took the lead, the threat was not great. The Spanish Navy simply rushed over under artillery fire.

"Fireship! Antwerp burners! "It's just that the Spanish fleet has bad luck and has just rushed over. On the Ming side, one hundred and ten ownerless boats swept towards them along the tide. This is still too hastily prepared, and the main force of the fireship is in Xiangshan. Otherwise, this round will come, and the Spanish are afraid that there will be ships that will not be able to avoid catching fire and sinking.

Although the fireships did not cause actual damage, they did disrupt the formation of the Spanish troops. The fear of these people for the fireship Cheng dù, Yuan Da Ming imagined that the formation of the entire army was scattered, and the battle situation seemed to be on the side of Da Ming.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the East India Company's fleet was too new after all, and after the enemy's formation was scattered, it was not able to seize the fighters to deliver a fatal blow, and its own rhythm was also chaotic, especially the artillery skills were too poor, and the shells hit a lot, and the actual damage was not worth mentioning. These people do not leave the pirate style, when the opponent's formation is scattered, their own formation concept is gone, rushing up to engage in the side battle, catching and tearing each other, and it becomes a mess.

"Report, now the flagship of the enemy's fleet."

"The flagship of the present."

The encounter between the two flagships is another proof of the chaos on the battlefield, it was originally a fleet battle, but in the end it was a ship-to-ship battle, Hong Simei blushed and said: "I am a pirate after all, and I can't bring soldiers." As soon as the son-in-law of his subordinates arrived at the critical moment, he showed his original form, which was too embarrassing. ”

Compared with the remorse on her side, Alfonso was very excited: "Great, a barbarian is a barbarian." Even a barbarian, armed to the teeth, is not a gentleman's opponent after all. The order was to concentrate all fire and knock out the enemy's flagship. ”

As a time-traveler three hundred years ahead of his time, Alfonso did not like broadside battles like the ordinary Spanish navy of this era, but paid more attention to artillery battles. Therefore, he had the most powerful guns and the best gunners on this ship.

After all, the navy is not a pirate, under his order, two Karak-class warships immediately joined the team, and the three battleships fired at Li Yanqing's flagship, on the contrary, the ships on Li Yanqing's side fell into a single ship pursuit of the Spanish warship, and there was no escort around. At the level of the gunners, Li Yanqing's side was also absolutely passive, and a cannonball fell beside the battleship, splashing a huge column of water, and the whole ship was staggered.

"Xianggong!" Hong Simei stumbled, thanks to being dragged by Li Yanqing. She gritted her teeth, "There are lifeboats on board, you go quickly." The fourth sister will never fall into the hands of foreigners and embarrass you, if you leave, I will wipe my neck. ”

"Wipe you ghost. Where are you and where I am, our husband and wife live and die together today. Li Yanqing was also ruthless, hugging Hong Simei with one hand and Xie Yunshang with the other, "I'll see, who can take who's life." ”

Alfonso on the other side also appeared, and it seemed that it would not be so easy to knock on the boat. The hull of this ship was actually covered with a thin layer of iron sheet, and the lethality of its own shells was greatly affected, and even if the hull was broken, the ship was unsinkable. Naturally, he didn't know what a watertight compartment was, so he could only praise: "It seems that God seems to be blessing it today." Either way, it ran out of good luck and was ready to take the ship in battle. Ye, a qiē handed over to you. ”

Ye Feihuan nodded, he had a special team of nearly three hundred people under him, and if the sailors were mobilized, this number could be temporarily increased to five hundred. Under such fierce artillery fire, more than half of the casualties on the other party's ship must have been killed, and he can take the ship no matter what, and he only hopes that the dog officer will not run.

But he and Alfonso didn't know that there were originally 500 Zhejiang soldiers in Yizhou, but before the war, Zhang Ruolan was worried that her husband would have an accident, so Zhang Ruolan equipped 300 Zhejiang soldiers on this flagship that combined the advantages of treasure ships and Western ships. In other words, what this receiving force had to face was a counter-assault of 300 Zhejiang soldiers armed with fast guns.

Behind Alfonso's fleet, the East India Company fleet, which had disappeared, was like a shining dagger, aimed at the back of the Spanish fleet. Christine's face was firm, and he ordered: "We have successfully rounded the enemy's back, and now our fleet should be tied with the Spaniards on the front, and we will give him a fatal blow from behind, and I order, all forward, destroy any Spanish warship you can see, and do not take prisoners, remember, do not take prisoners."
