Chapter 1647: Juan's Decision
In the battle against the shore fire prevention force with the naval guns of this era, the losses were basically on the side at sea. Even the Haihan Navy, equipped with weapons and equipment that was ahead of its time, still did not dare to make a mistake in the face of the shore defense batteries in Manila Port, and even Wang Tom took the initiative to obey the decision of the command to abandon the attack on Manila Port from the sea, and instead landed on the coast far from Manila City, and advanced to Manila City by land.
The gap between the Spanish warships and the Haihan artillery deployed on the shore was even more obvious, and the exchange of fire completely showed a one-sided trend. Despite the fact that there were only eight guns on the shore, which was much less than the naval guns of the Manila fleet, the hit rate was several times higher than that of the opponent. The damage caused by these army guns on the warships was actually very limited, and the psychological blow to the Spanish sailors was greater, after all, when they invaded the colonies in the Far East, they rarely encountered such "intensive" coastal artillery fire, not to mention that the battle was still on their own doorstep.
To Juan's slight relief, the crew did not panic because of the artillery fire from the shore, and they were still able to launch artillery strikes at the pier in accordance with the established tactics, and the wooden trestle and stacked wooden boxes on the pier were scattered in pieces, which was also a little visible to the naked eye. Juan even got angry for a moment, and almost ordered the fleet to dock and launch a landing battle to clear the shore of those hateful Haihan artillery.
Fortunately, however, he kept a clear head, for soon a fireworks warning was issued by ships cruising around the perimeter, and traces of the enemy fleet appeared on the western sea.
"It's coming fast enough!" Juan could only sigh at the rapid response of the Haihan, which was much faster than the reaction of the defenders when the Haihan fleet attacked the port of Manila the day before. It was clear that Haihan had been more prepared for this situation in advance, so that reinforcements could arrive from the port of Krabi so quickly. This is not an effect that can be achieved by issuing a few dead orders, but an objective gap in the overall strength of the two armies, and even if Juan is envious, jealous and hateful, he will not be able to make effective improvements in the short term.
"Give up attacking the docks, all the ships turn around and prepare for battle!" Juan gave the order, then took the monocular from the adjutant's hand, adjusted the focus and began to observe the movement at sea.
This telescope was not produced in Spain, but he asked someone to spend a lot of money to buy it from Haihan. Because Haihan was quite strict in the management of the sales of such paramilitary items, this thing traveled all the way from Sanya for several months, and even went around Daming in the middle, and finally delivered it to Juan. Although the process was quite cumbersome, Juan also had to admit that it made sense to get what you pay for, and that the telescope produced by Haihan was indeed superior to its Spanish counterparts in terms of range and effect. And this is still only for export version, it is said that the binoculars used by the officers of the Haihan Army are far superior to this monocular structure in terms of performance, but what is a good method, Juan has not seen the real thing, so he can't imagine it.
In the distance, sails have appeared on the sea, and the red and blue flags fluttering from the top of the mast can be seen through the telescope.
