Next, Anthony should lead the fleet back to Manila, or continue to stay and attack this chicken coop bay, which is the most difficult thing for him.

It's easy to say that you can withdraw and just pat your ass and leave, but what about when you go back? He took so many ships, soldiers and sailors, and ran all the way to the island of Taiwan, but he couldn't even defeat a group of Chinese pirates, this was not the Dutch occupying Penghu, they were facing the official army of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no shame in defeat.

But if he goes back and says that he was beaten all over the ground by a group of Chinese pirates, and runs back to Manila in disgrace, it will be a complete shame, and he will be sent to the gallows, and the whole of Spain will be humiliated because of him.

Who will look down on them in the future, the Spaniards stationed in Luzon! I am afraid that even the Chinese pirates who used to be respectful to them will no longer take them seriously in the future, and when their Spanish cargo ships appear in the South Seas again, there is no guarantee that the Chinese pirates will swarm and slaughter them like broilers.

Another point is that the Chinese immigrants living in Manila and Luzon, these people are very strong in Manila, they control a lot of money, and these Chinese seem tame on the surface, but God knows whether they will one day replace their Spanish rule in Luzon and drive them out of Luzon and become the new masters there.

Anthony forgot that less than a hundred years ago, Luzon was a vassal state of China, but now in the eyes of the Spaniards, Luzon is their forbidden thing, and they have completely forgotten whose territory Luzon used to be.

He remembered the Chinese riot in Manila more than 20 years ago, and when he heard about it, the Spaniards still had lingering fears.

If they were defeated by a group of Chinese pirates this time, once the news reached Manila, would the Chinese over there still be as deferential to them as before?

Anthony didn't dare to think down, if he didn't find a way to defeat this group of Chinese pirates, he would definitely go back without good fruit to eat, this is a sure thing.

But if he can take Chicken Coop Bay, no matter what, there will always be an explanation when he goes back, even if he is dismissed, he will not be sent to the gallows and hanged.

So after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to lead the team to withdraw to Manila, so he could only hold on to it a little longer, and think of a way to see if he could use other ways to take this chicken coop bay.

That night, Anthony sent several light speedboats, under the cover of night, to touch Battery Island again, ready to rescue the Spanish soldiers on the island.

But the sea wolves didn't make it easy for them.

After repelling the attack of the Spanish fleet for the second time during the day, more than a hundred Spanish soldiers were trapped on the island.

The Spanish soldiers were panicked like rabbits, hiding in the crevices of the reef, not even daring to show their heads, and during the day they thoroughly experienced the power of the sea wolves, and they watched as the small boats that carried them over were sunk on the shore one by one, cutting off their retreat, and then cutting them down in front of the fort like rice.

Then they killed their commander, and in the end they nearly sank the large ship that had tried to rescue them, forcing their ship out of the battle and leaving them on the island.

And the damned Chinese pirates in the Seawolf's turret kept shooting at them, but anyone who was not careful, as soon as they showed their heads, they would be knocked down by a single shot.

The enemy's marksmanship was incredible, and although the arquebus was very powerful, it was not easy to hit a person from a distance of fifty meters, but there were obviously a few marksmen in the opponent's battery, and the arquebus they were holding was like having eyes, waiting to harvest their lives at any time.

The trapped Spanish soldiers were not so careful at first, but after being killed one after another, they never dared to show their heads again.

The Chinese pirates' marksmen can accurately hit their heads and easily open their heads, so they only dare to lie on the back of the reef, and they don't even dare to let a fart easily.

Of course, the Chinese pirates in the fort did not let them stay in the reef, and after the fleet withdrew, the Chinese pirates also tried to clear them.

A group of Chinese pirates, armed with knives and guns, came out of the battery and launched an attack on them, trying to clear them all from the island, but the Spaniards still made some efforts and resisted vigorously, killing and wounding a dozen Chinese pirates, and several of them were killed themselves.

So the Chinese pirates withdrew to the fort and continued to use cold guns against them.

The Chinese pirates kept shouting at them in the battery, and through the Chinese interpreter they had brought with them, they learned that the pirates were shouting for them to surrender and not to kill them.

But surrendering to a group of Chinese pirates, it was evident that the Spanish soldiers could not stand their pride a little, so they decided to continue their stubborn resistance, because they still had a little hope of their commander, and felt that he should not abandon them, and that he would definitely send a ship to rescue them in the evening.

As the hungry Spanish soldiers hid in the reef after dark, a pillar of light suddenly fell from the fort illuminating their position.

This pillar of light came from the fort, which shocked the Spanish soldiers, and they wondered how these Chinese pirates could do this, and they were able to concentrate the light of the fire and shine it in one direction, and it was so bright, that some people stretched out their heads curiously to observe what it was.

But one unfortunate fellow, who looked a little too closely, stretched out his head to observe the source of the pillar of light, forgetting that his head was exposed to the light of the pillar of light, and in a few moments he heard a gunshot from the fort, and the curious boy fell headlong under the reef without saying a word.

When the people next to him went to look at him again, they found that this guy's head had been opened, and the enemy could actually fight so accurately at night, which scared them even more so that they didn't dare to show their heads.

Hungry and frightened, these people prayed among the rocks, praying that their men would send ships to rescue them from this hellish place.

At this time, suddenly there was a burst of cannon fire on the sea, and they quickly looked at the sea, and through the darkness, they saw some lights on the sea, which were obviously the lights from the masts of some ships that were not very large, and the other was the flash of some constantly flickering artillery fire.

They immediately realized that it was their ship that had come to pick them up, but the problem was that they were blocked by a patrol ship sent by the sea wolf at night, and the two sides exchanged fire.

At this time, the sailors of the sailors who had been stationed in Jilong Bay for so long had seized the opportunity.

They did not dare to go out of Jilong Bay during the day, so they could only help the soldiers in the bay to garrison the forts or set up checkpoints at various intersections, and only dared to go out of the bay at night to patrol the sea to prevent the Spaniards from sneaking up on Jilong Bay at night.

As a result, today they finally caught the three Spanish speedboats that tried to sneak to the island of peace in the dark of the night to retrieve their trapped soldiers.

So these sailors who have been aggrieved for several days can't be ignored at this time, they can't do those big plywood boats during the day, can't they still do these small boats of dry silk people at night?

So in the darkness of the night, they immediately fired a volley of gunfire at the three Spanish speedboats, and rushed over with a roar, and engaged a broadside battle with a Spanish speedboat.

As a result, after a short fierce battle, several patrol ships of the sailors actually succeeded in capturing one Spanish dhow and driving the other two Spanish speedboats away from the mouth of Chicken Coop Bay, completely breaking the thoughts of these Spaniards trapped on the island.

Seeing that the ships that came to their rescue were driven away by the ships of the sea wolves, the Spaniards on the island were completely desperate, and a small number of Spaniards who were good at the water simply threw away everything and jumped into the sea and swam into the darkness, they wanted to find a place to land near Chicken Coop Bay, and then escape back to their temporary anchorage at night.

But most of the soldiers, because they were not sailors, and the water was not good, but they did not dare to jump into the dark water, so they could only tell that they should not be allowed to do so, and that they would continue to be trapped on the island.

When Anthony heard the sound of cannons on the sea, he knew that his plan to send ships to rescue those soldiers at night had once again failed, and these pirates were too bold to dare to go out to patrol the sea at night, and his fleet had an advantage during the day, but at night he did not dare to mobilize the large fleet to fight against the Kron ships of the sea wolves.

Although the firepower of those Kron ships is not strong, they know very well the hydrological situation in this area, where there are reefs, where the water is shallow, they know it well, and they go to trouble them at night, and if they are not careful, they may be led to the reef group or shoal to run aground and run aground.

So he could only mobilize the speedboat as a force to rescue those soldiers, and their speedboat at sea was not the match for those Kron ships equipped with cannons, sure enough, the three boats sent out in a short time escaped back to two, and even two Kron boats ran near their anchorage, fired a few shots at them from a distance, and when they fired back, the two Kron boats immediately extinguished the lights on the mast and disappeared in the dark sea.

In the second half of the night, the black head sent some additional men to Heping Island, including some native auxiliaries who were good at night activities, and immediately after landing on the island, he and Sun Baoqiang and Feng Twelve began to launch the most remedial purge against those remnants of the island on the island.

A large number of sea wolves, armed with bayonet-mounted flintlock pistols and rattan spears, surrounded a reef where the Spanish soldiers were hiding, and then began to clear the Spaniards inch by inch.

In the darkness of the night, the arquebuses used by the Spaniards were simply waste, and they had to light the arquebuses at all times before they could have a chance to fire, but the result of igniting the arquebuses revealed their location, and they were immediately shot by the Seawolf musketeers.

The sea wolf, on the other hand, was armed with a flintlock pistol, which did not need to light the arquebus at night, so it could shoot covertly, and the Spaniards suffered greatly.

Eventually, the Spaniards were crushed into a small beachhead reef, and seeing that they were still trying to resist, Sun Baoqiang ordered grenades to be thrown at them.

As a result, a little fire began to light up from all directions, and the grenadiers lit the grenade's fuse with a fire rope and threw it at the Spanish soldiers.
