074 The Moros are coming

Although Yu Zhe had never been to the battlefield in person, he had also seen the scene of the Muslim soldiers of the Sulu Sultanate going on the expedition, and knew that people must be nervous and panicked before the big war, so when he saw that the people on the Nuwa ship were not panicked at all, as if the battle had been won steadily, he was very puzzled.

Yu Zhe's puzzled appearance was caught by Liu Daming, Liu Daming laughed and said, "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?" Why are you sad? Missing a woman? ”

Yu Zhe blushed at Liu Daming's meat joke, shook his head and said, "No, no, Brother Liu, don't be joking, I just can't figure it out a little, why don't the people on the Nuwa ship look a little scared?" As if this battle could definitely be won. ”

Liu Daming said with a smile: "With Lao Lin in charge, this battle will definitely be won, everyone has such a thought in their hearts, so they are not afraid." ”

Yu Zhe was taken aback and said, "Is that Lin Yingying really so powerful?" Can everyone believe that following him will definitely win? ”

Liu Daming said with a smile: "You don't know what Lao Lin once did, during the Battle of the Yellow Sea, he shot down the torpedoes of the Japanese ships with a water cannon, and when we were caught in Japan, he used a trick to rescue us, and after arriving on Samar Island, he came up with a lot of new things, so the brothers all know that they will definitely win with him." ”

Yu Zhe was amazed and said, "Lin Yingying still has so many deeds? Can you tell me about them all? ”

Liu Daming shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to use the sextant to measure the star position to correct the magnetic compass, and I'm not available." ”

Yu Zhe hurriedly said: "I will do it too, I'll help you get it, just tell me." ”

When Liu Daming heard that he didn't have to work, he was immediately overjoyed, and agreed repeatedly......

The Nuwa ship was preparing for war near the islands and reefs, and at this time, the Spanish fleet was escorting the army ashore in the waters of Lurk, and on the flagship Casillas, the fleet commander, Vice Admiral Penelope Banderas, was chatting with the captain of the ship, Miguel Antonio.

Commander Banderas' face was full of gloom, and he said, "I feel more and more that this island of harmony is weird now! ”

Captain Antonio persuaded: "Your Excellency, please don't worry, isn't it that the ships Columbus and Queen Isabel did not return on time?" Nothing will happen to them, maybe there is a mechanical failure, and when they solve the problem, they will rush back. ”

Commander Banderas frowned and said, "I have a foreboding feeling that those two warships have sunk. ”

Captain Antonio smiled helplessly and said, "Your Excellency, the premonition is unreliable, how could those two battleships sink?" Just the Oars of the Molos? It's okay for them to bully and bully our transport ships, but if they want to hit a battleship made of steel and sink it, God will laugh when he hears it. ”

Commander Banderas sighed lightly and said, "I hope so. ”

At this time, a sailor came in and said, "Report to the commander, captain, that the transport ship has completely transported the troops to the island." ”

Commander Banderas nodded and said, "Let the transport ship get ready to drop anchor and stop." ”

The sailors agreed to go out, and Commander Banderas turned to Captain Antonio and said, "We must be on guard tonight against the Moros attacking our transports. ”

Captain Antonio smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I'm still afraid that the Moro ships won't come. ”

Commander Banderas smiled and said, "You want to hit them hard with a steel battleship, right?" ”

Captain Antonio replied, "Yes, I am now thrilled at the thought of our cannonballs overturning the small wooden boats of the Moros. ”

Captain Antonio burst out laughing when he said this, and Commander Banderas laughed along, and the gloom was swept away.

After a while, night fell, and the people in the Spanish fleet suddenly became nervous, the coast of this area was very tortuous, forming many natural coves, and they knew that the Moro's warships were hidden in these small coves, and they would rush out at any moment to attack the transports parked on the shore.

The searchlights on one protective cruiser and four gunboats were all turned on, illuminating the five kilometres of the coast nearby, and observers were added to each observation room, all of whom were engrossed in staring at the shore for fear that a Moro's warship would slip out of the bay without paying attention.

Commander Banderas raised his binoculars and stared at the land in the distance, and the Spanish Army placed sentries on the shore, and these sentries would light bonfires on the shore as soon as they saw a warship coming out of the cove, and the warships at sea would go over to stop the warship when they saw it.

Captain Antonio whispered from the side, "Commander, in the past, the time when the Moros launched attacks was early in the morning, and now they should not come out. ”

Commander Banderas sighed and said, "It's hard to say, what if the Moros change their style of play this time?" ”

Captain Antonio did not speak, and the time soon came to eleven o'clock in the evening, and the bonfire was still not lit on the seashore, and the hearts of all the Spanish sailors hung in the air, and they looked at the seaside with all their attention, both afraid of the bonfire and expecting it to be lit.

At this moment, a message suddenly came from the observation room on the mast: "Report to the commander, a ship is approaching on the north side of the sea. ”

Commander Banderas hurriedly asked, "What kind of ship is it?" ”

The observation room said, "There are sails that look like fishing boats." ”

Commander Banderas thought for a moment and said, "Continue to observe and order the gunboat Trajan to move towards that ship and reconnoiter its situation." ”

The observation room immediately sent a light signal, and Trajan's ship immediately moved towards the fishing boat, but the fishing boat, after spotting Trajan's ship, turned its bow and sailed towards the distant sea, and Trajan's ship did not chase and returned to the fleet.

It turned out that the fishing boat was the Pangu ship, and the captain Bi Fang was ordered by Lin Fei to use the night to reconnoiter the situation of the Spanish fleet.

When the Pangu saw the Spanish warship coming, it turned its bow and returned to the Aclyde Island reef, the Pangu ship anchored and stopped, Bi Fang came to see Lin Fei, Lin Fei first asked: "Have you found the anchorage of the Spanish warship?" ”

Bi Fang replied: "Yes, the location has been marked on the chart." ”

Lin Fei was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "It's not easy to find them at night. ”

Bi Fang smiled: "It's not difficult, the Spanish warships were worried about being attacked, so they turned on their searchlights, and the sea was bright, and we could easily see them." ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "In that case, the vigilance of the Spanish warships is very high, right?" ”

Bi Fang nodded and said, "That's right! However, such a high level of vigilance must be lacking, that is, they can't sleep all night, and tomorrow day is when they are most tired, and we should be able to attack them tomorrow day. ”

Lin Fei shook his head and smiled: "No, although they are very tired during the day, but the visibility during the day is high, so it is easy for them to spot us, and when the time comes, they will not be able to achieve the suddenness of the attack, our playing style remains the same, or take advantage of the attack of the island Yagurul Sultan to attack." ”

Bi Fang nodded, and Lin Fei said: "It's good to reconnoiter the location of the Spanish fleet, Bi Fang, you immediately tell the comrades of the SΓΉ Nuwa ship the location of the Spanish fleet, and then go back to have a good rest." ”

Bi Fang did so one by one, and it was already two o'clock in the morning of the next day, and the Spanish fleet was at its most tense, and the observers could hardly even blink an eye, and the gunners piled shells and propellants on the gun emplacements, and even the music boys of the military band threw down their musical instruments and held the shells in their arms, ready to be transported to the gun emplacements at any time.

But the coast was silent, the army bonfires were not lit, and there were no Muslim warships in the light of the searchlights.

The Spanish sailors breathed a sigh of relief, but Commander Banderas did not dare to relax, for he knew that tonight was the most likely time for the Moros to come.

The fleet rested for a day, and night fell again, and the fleet was still as engrossed in staring at the shore as they had been yesterday. It was ten o'clock in the evening, and suddenly there was a fire on the shore, which was the signal for the Moros to attack!

Clusters of fires lit up one after another, and soon a dozen bonfires were lit on the shore.

Commander Banderas counted the bonfires on the ship, one, two, three...... Fifteen, Commander Banderas and the army commander agreed in advance, the more bonfires lit, the more Moro's warships, they agreed on a total of fifteen bonfires, the army commander actually lit all these bonfires, how many Moro's warships came!

Commander Banderas picked up the ship's communicator and shouted: "The Moros are coming, the whole fleet is ready for battle!" ”

The observation room immediately sent the news to every battleship in the fleet by light signal, and everyone went into action, especially the gunners, who moved barrels and barrels of liquor near the gun emplacements, and the Spaniards did not drink or rejoice, even in battle.

At this moment the searchlight stopped on the south-west side, and in the light, a large field of wooden warships appeared, and the commander of Banderas commanded in a loud voice: "Turn the fleet and meet the enemy!" ”

The ships moved towards the position of the Muslim ships, and the Spanish fleet was three thousand meters away from the Muslim warriors, but Commander Banderas shouted: "Ships fire!" ”

The gunners picked up the barrels and poured the liquor into their throats, and the sharp burning sensation slid down their throats, and the whole body became excited, and they roared and screamed, loaded the shells into the barrels, stuffed the propellant bags into the tails, closed the bolts, pressed the firing buttons, and the guns on the ship roared, and the shells flew towards the ships of the Muslim warriors with the sound of the wind.
