Pirates are one of the most vicious and cunning professions, and in order to survive on the perilous seas, these pirates have to deal with all kinds of dangerous situations in addition to fighting the treacherous seas. This leaves the pirates with little credibility to speak of, and with the exception of pirates within a group, they will do whatever it takes to deal with their enemies.

This time, for the sake of the gold on the battleship 'Manila', Luo Sangu had no choice but to deceive these Spaniards. Otherwise, if the Spaniards resorted to a dead end, they would not have thought of getting that ton of gold. The construction funds of the second batch of 12 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy still count on this gold!

After receiving Luo Sangu's assurance, Colonel Adrian ordered the battleship Manila to stop resisting. The sails on the battleship were lowered, and the guns were all withdrawn. Although it is a very shameful thing to surrender to the pirates, in order to survive, these Spaniards can't care so much!

Several small boats were lowered from the cruiser 'Xinhua' and the cruiser 'Zamboanga', and the heavily armed soldiers of the Xinhua Army rowed in small boats toward the battleship 'Manila'. The cruisers 'Xinhua' and 'Zamboanga' continued to cruise the enemy at a distance of about 1,500 meters from the battleship Manila, and all the guns on the battleships were also aimed at the battleship Manila.

"Damn! Those Qing people are really cautious! Could it be that they were really pirates disguised by the regular army of the Qing Kingdom? Seeing that the two pirate ships had been hovering at a distance of fifteen hundred meters, Colonel Adrian cursed. You must know that in this naval battle, the reason why the battleships "Manila" lost so badly was entirely because their artillery range and the speed of the battleships were not comparable to the enemy. If you can close the distance, with the ferocious firepower of the battleship 'Manila', you will definitely be able to sink those two pirate ships!" It's just that the pirates didn't give them this chance!

"Your Excellency Colonel, what shall we do? Those Qing people are going to board the ship! A junior officer asked.

"At this distance, will we be able to inflict heavy damage on a pirate ship with a single round of shelling?" Colonel Adrian asked. At this time, he was still a little reluctant to give up and wanted to die and struggle.

"Your Excellency Colonel, this is very difficult. At a distance of fifteen hundred meters, it is difficult for us to inflict heavy damage on a battleship with a displacement of up to one and a half hundred tons in the first salvo! If we fire, the pirates will go crazy and retaliate. When the time comes, we'll all have to fall into the sea to feed the fish! A major officer objected.

Colonel Adrian nodded, and then said, "In that case, then give up resistance and surrender to those pirates!" May they keep their promises! ”

The Spanish naval officers and men aboard the battleship Manila ceased resistance, and hundreds of Xinhua soldiers in small boats boarded the deck of the battleship Manila. Each 'Shark-class' cruiser only needed a hundred crew members, but for this operation, each ship brought more than fifty more soldiers, in order to take control of the entire battleship after forcing the Spaniards to land, and then bring back the gold on the battleship!

"All hands up, hand over your weapons, and get to the deck!" A Xinhua Army officer who knew Spanish yelled loudly!

The Spanish officers and men on the battleship Manila were very cooperative, for them, the battle was over, they had done their best in the battle, and now it was time for them to think about themselves, and they had to save their lives first.

Under the leadership of Colonel Adrian, hundreds of Spanish naval officers and sailors on the battleship "Manila" came out of the cabin one after another, laid down their weapons, and then squatted on the deck under the supervision of the soldiers of the Xinhua Army.

"Your Excellency, Officer? Are you Qing people? Colonel Adrian couldn't help but ask.

"Qingguo? No, we're pirates! The Xinhua Army officer who led the team grinned. They weren't Qing people, they were real pirates. Even now that the new China Kingdom has been established, in the minds of many old people who came out of Flying Fish Island, they are still pirates. This is in their bones, and it will never change!

Colonel Adrian opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything more. He believes that the pirates are reluctant to admit their identities and are simply trying to keep them secret. He was sure that these pirates must have been disguised by the Qing navy. If the pirates had such a strong combat power, then the maritime trade routes of the entire world would have been cut off!

"Sir, the search has been completed, and all the Spaniards are here!" A soldier reported!

"Hmmm! Signal the Commander to lean over! The Xinhua Army officer said.

Soon, the cruisers 'Xinhua' and 'Zamboanga' approached the deck of the battleship 'Manila' from both sides. The battleship Manila had a total of three decks, which was much higher than the Shark-class cruisers of the Xinhua Navy. However, in naval battles, tall hulls will also become the best targets, which can be reflected in the naval battle just now.

Luo Sangu boarded the battleship 'Manila' under the protection of several soldiers. Her heart was also very excited, more than a year ago, she was just the leader of a group of small pirates, in order to survive, she had to beg for a living on the dangerous sea, once she encountered the naval warships of the Westerners, she had to desperately escape. Now, even the Spanish Navy has surrendered to them, and this change makes Luo Sangu a little unbelievable!

"Commander! The Spaniards are under our control, and the gold is in the cabin! "The officer who boarded the battleship 'Manila' before reported to Luo Sangu!

"Hmmm! Move all the gold to our battleship and prepare for evacuation! Luo Sangu looked at the Spanish naval officers and sailors squatting on the deck, and then said. Once upon a time, these foreign devils brutally slaughtered them, and now, these foreign devils have all become prisoners.

The appearance of Luo Sangu made the officers and men of the Spanish Navy a little commotion, they never thought that the leader of this group of enemies was actually a woman. Could it be that these people are really pirates, not disguised by the navy of the Qing Kingdom?

"This noble lady, we have surrendered, you must do what you promised, guarantee our lives!" Colonel Adrian shouted.

"What do you say about that foreign devil?" Luo Sangu asked.

The translator translated Colonel Adrian's words, and after listening to it, Luo Sangu nodded with a smile: "Tell him that we will keep our promise!" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Colonel Adrian was relieved.

The soldiers of the Xinhua Navy began to carry the gold in the hold of the battleship Manila. All of the gold was cast into ingots weighing fifty kilograms, twenty pieces in all. The two soldiers carried a piece and moved it to the cruiser 'Xinhua' and the cruiser 'Zamboanga' respectively. In less than ten minutes, the gold was removed. This operation of the Xinhua Navy can be regarded as a successful end! It has only been three hours since the battle broke out.

"Retreat!" After all the gold was moved, Luo Sangu gave the order to retreat. In addition to the one ton of gold that had been brought back to Spain from Luzon, the personal belongings of the Spanish sailors were also looted, and although the Spanish sailors were very unhappy with the pirates' actions, they chose to remain silent at gunpoint.

A few minutes later, all the officers and men of the Xinhua Navy withdrew to the cruisers 'Xinhua' and Zamboanga, including the soldiers who were guarding the surrendered Spanish sailors on the battleship Manila.

"What's going on? What happened to those Qing people? "Some Spanish naval officers and sailors found it inexplicable.

However, Colonel Adrian's face suddenly turned pale!

"Damn! You shameless Qing people, you don't keep your promises! Colonel Adrian yelled.

Immediately, the Spanish navy soldiers also realized what was going to happen, and everyone scolded angrily. But many more are skewering around the boat like flies without heads!

When the cruiser 'Xinhua' and the cruiser 'Zamboanga' withdrew to a distance of about fifty meters from the 'Manila', both battleships opened fire at the same time!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The two warships concentrated a total of 8 105-mm naval guns and 8 75-mm naval guns to fire at the 'Manila'. At a distance of 50 meters, the soldiers of the Xinhua Navy could easily hit the target almost without aiming!

Dense shells hit the battleship 'Manila'. The shell easily pierced the deck of the battleship and exploded inside. Soon, the battleship "Manila" was on fire. The officers and men of the Spanish Navy on the battleship were either killed or burned alive, and some jumped directly into the sea to escape.

The cruisers 'Xinhua' and 'Zamboanga' were still firing fiercely. After a few salvos, even the Manila, a third-class battleship with a displacement of 1,800 tons, fell apart under heavy shelling.

After sinking the battleship Manila, the cruisers "Xinhua" and "Zamboanga" did not leave immediately, but cruised in the nearby waters. The soldiers of the Xinhua Army stood on the deck and opened fire with their rifles at the Spanish naval soldiers in the sea. For the sake of secrecy, the Spanish warships and their naval officers and sailors had to be wiped out!
