"Quick, quick, order the artillery, immediately return fire, launch an attack on the Ming fleet at sea, come, immediately notify General Montello, and immediately send battleships to help in the battle!"

More than a dozen shore defense guns on the Galileo battery opened fire at the same time, launching an attack on the Second Fleet on the right flank of the sea, and one shell after another flew towards the battleships of the Second Fleet, and almost at the same time, the batteries on Corregidor Island and the Spanish fleet all went into battle, and one artillery began to attack the Second Fleet.

Zheng Cai did not show weakness, pulled up the entire second fleet in one breath, and began to launch a counterattack on the Spanish army, the number of artillery pieces put into the two sides in one breath exceeded 400, an astonishing number, and the sky was full of whistling shells, and the back and forth were endless.

However, it is clear that Bosque and Montellio underestimated the determination of the Ming army to lower the Bataan Battery, as long as the Bataan Fort is taken, then the island of Corregidor will definitely be finally lost under the attack of the Bataan Fort and the Ming fleet, and the Bataan Peninsula is the top priority!

Soon after the battle between the two sides began, the battle situation on the Bataan Peninsula changed drastically again, and it was not only the artillery of the Second Fleet that attacked the Galilean Battery, only a moment later, the remaining nine batteries on the Bataan Peninsula were put into battle at the same time, but this time the target of the battery was no longer the Ming army, but the Galileo Battery, the unfortunate Galileo Battery, had fallen into the siege of the nine batteries and the Ming fleet!

The nine forts have been controlled by the Ming army, although whether it is the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army or the soldiers of the special operations battalion, they are not professional artillery, but they are always the elite forces of the Ming Dynasty, among which the soldiers in the special operations battalion, there are really a lot of people who have really practiced artillery, this is a compulsory course for the soldiers of the special operations battalion, and the nine batteries were taken, Liu Yucheng gave an order, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion were all dispersed, mastered the forty artillery pieces on the nine batteries, and began the siege of the Galileo battery, this time, the Galileo battery was unlucky!

The nine batteries on the Bataan Peninsula are not far from each other, and the farthest is only ten miles away, and the artillery is all coming towards the Galileo battery, plus the shelling of the Second Fleet, every minute, the Galileo battery will usher in the bombardment of hundreds of shells, the Galileo battery is a palm-sized place, where can it withstand such a wild bombardment?

The most unfortunate thing is the Spanish soldiers, completely in the Ming army's indiscriminate bombardment, in just half an hour, the Spanish army paid a heavy price, nearly half of the casualties, there is no way, the Galileo battery is completely under siege, there is no place to run!

As for the dozen or so artillery pieces on the Galileo battery, under the siege of the nine batteries and the Second Fleet, they were also completely drowned in the bombardment of artillery, from morning to noon, on the Galileo battery, there were less than two artillery pieces that could be used, or even completely negligible, as for the Spanish army, the casualties were even heavier, even Bosque was destroyed by the explosion fragments of the shell, and most of his beard was burned by the flames.

"Bosque, the Ming army's attack is too fierce, if we continue like this, everyone will die here......"

Luke wiped the sweat from his face and exclaimed.

"If you die here, you have to resist it, the Galileo battery is lost, then we have no danger to defend, and it won't take two days for Corregidor Island to be lost, and when the time comes, the Ming fleet will drive straight into and block the entire Manila Bay, and our fleet will have to explain!"

Bosque is not distressed, thousands of Spanish troops are about to be buried here, this is almost all the main force of Spain in the Eastern world, and Luzon must not be lost!

Bosque gritted his teeth and commanded the soldiers to hold the fort to the death, using the fortifications of the fort to hide, avoiding the artillery fire of the Ming army, like a turtle, retracting all the head and limbs back into the tortoise shell, hiding in it and making a fortune.

The previous artillery bombardment still had an effect, gradually, the casualties of the Spanish army increased little by little, all of them hid in the fortifications, and then carried out the shelling, the effect was not so obvious, Xia Wanchun and Liu Yucheng also had to slow down the pace of the attack and began to deal with the attack of the Spanish fleet.

The Spanish fleet surrounded the perimeter of Corregido Island, cowering in the inland sea, with the help of the artillery of Corregido Island and the Second Fleet, although the two combined, the number of its guns was not inferior to the Second Fleet, but the Second Fleet was on the open sea, the space was extremely wide, and the warships could move freely, and the Spanish Fleet wanted to repel the Second Fleet, which was also extremely difficult, The two sides fought fiercely for most of the day, the second fleet could not help the Spanish fleet, could not rush into the inland sea, the same, the Spanish fleet around the two sides of Corregidor Island, did not dare to go to sea to meet the battle, the artillery battle just now has been revealed, the Ming fleet in front of it, the combat power is stronger than the Spanish fleet, especially the power of the artillery, extremely strong, not to mention that now in the open sea, there is another fleet of the Ming army cruising on the periphery, go out? That's to die!

The first fleet, Cha Shu frowned tightly, just now the peninsula has sent back people to report the battle situation ahead, this time, everyone underestimated the combat power of the Spaniards, the combat power of this group of people is far stronger than the Dongying people, Xia Wanchun's cavalry, with the assistance of the special operations battalion, was not able to quickly take the entire Bataan Peninsula, it was really a bit unexpected by everyone!

"Can't wait any longer!"

Cha Xuan snorted coldly: "Order, send a small gunboat, and send me the first special operations battalion to send it too, Deng Xiong, this time you act in person, be sure to take the last fort before tomorrow morning, and completely control the Bataan Peninsula!" ”

"Yes, Lord Budo!"

Deng Xiong agreed and began to assemble the strength of the special operations battalion, and rushed towards the Bataan Peninsula in a small warship, although it was all shallows, and the battleships could not land, but the small warships, but the tonnage of 100 tons, could drive the ships all the way to an area less than a mile away from the beach, and the remaining one mile was not a matter at all for the officers and men of the special operations battalion.

Before dusk, a special operations battalion landed on the Bataan Peninsula and soon reached the Das battery.

"Lord Xia, General Liu!"

Deng Xiong said in a deep voice: "Lord Mintang is starting to be dissatisfied with the speed of the attack ahead, and we must take the entire Bataan Peninsula before dawn tomorrow!" ”
