Since the Spaniards and the Ming signed an agreement.

As a result, the Spaniards, who had not been able to work before, became industrious.

By the time Lieutenant Brewster returned, it was late at night.

He brought back news that the Spanish consul in Laoag had endorsed an alliance with the Ming army.

"Dear General, Sir Brent admires your courage and charisma, and the actual combat effectiveness of your army, but the problem is that you cannot guarantee that your sailors will be able to defeat the pirates besieging Laoag, so it is impossible for him to send the Spanish fleet out of port to die." Brewster brought Sir Brent's words intact.

After hearing these words, Liu Yu frowned, do these Spaniards really plan to be turtles with shrunken heads.

"So, you Francois want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Wang Tong glared angrily, he had always been quite disgusted with these red-haired ghosts.

"General Wang is angry." Liu Yu waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

"Captain, please tell Sir Brent that it is the pirates who besiege Laoag, not our Ming army, if the Spanish fleet is not willing to fight side by side with the Ming army's naval divisions, then we will go back to Vigan directly, but I don't know how long Laoag's gunpowder supply can last, a week or three days." Liu Yu said with a smile.

This morning he had received news from Xiao Wuna that there was a shortage of gunpowder in Laoag, and at the same time, when the pirates attacked the city at noon, the shore defense guns were sparse, and it was obvious that there was a lack of ammunition.

Now, Laoag is actually a dead city, it's just the difference between dying early and dying later.

Reinforcements from Manila will not arrive.

At least not until the city of Laoag is broken.

Brewster naturally understood that he had seen everything in the city of Laoag before entering it.

Although strongly maintained by the army, the city of Laoag was not greatly damaged by pirates.

But robberies and riots happen from time to time.

The most fatal thing is that there is a lot of loss of gunpowder, shells and medicine in the city, and many of the artillery shells on the gun positions have been exhausted.

You can only scare people with a pestle there.

The main force of the Spanish naval fleet moored in the harbor remained.

The Spanish fleet in the entire seaport of Laoag consisted of two second-class battleships, six third-class battleships, and more than twenty locally armed merchant ships of Laoag with artillery decks, which can be said to be elite.

However, because of the death of General Skoll in the naval battle a month ago, morale was low.

In addition, all ships were wounded, especially several third-class warships were seriously wounded.

A lot of warships were in a state of repair during the month.

Thus, during this month, the Spanish fleet, although occasionally sorties, was not in full force.

Although it caused huge casualties to the besieging pirates, it did not change the fact that Laoag was besieged.

After hearing that the Manila authorities had made peace talks with the Ming, General Terry's first reaction was to be furious, saying that he would not form an alliance with the Ming army.

Because the death of his commander, Admiral Skoll, had a lot to do with the Ming army.

At the beginning, Admiral Skoll led three second-class warships into the pirate group and killed them indiscriminately, and his tactics were indeed correct.

After all, pirates are composed of dozens of forces, and the organization is chaotic, as long as they can break up the formation, they will inevitably break up and flee.

But who would have thought that Xiao Wu's Sailor Town warship would stand directly in front of Skoll's fleet.

As a result, the originally scattered pirates transformed from the same group of sheep into a pack of red-eyed wolves in an instant.

This eventually led to the death of Admiral Skoll.

Therefore, General Terry hated the Ming army's sailors to the core.

"A few capital warships will be repaired in a few days, and in a few days I will lead an invincible fleet to the sea to deal with these disgusting pirates and Mingren." This was what General Terry said to Sir Brent, Consul of Laoag, and coincidentally, Brewster was present at the time.

For General Terry's arrogance, Sir Brent was a little more realistic.

In fact, the ammunition supply for the entire city of Laoag could no longer supply for the next large-scale siege.

The city of Laoag was originally a seaport city, and the food supplies in the city were brought in by sea.

The supply of food and grass in the city has basically run out, and people are dying of starvation in the streets and alleys from time to time.

He was more inclined to work with the Ming army to deal with pirates.

After all, one more friend, one more chance.

A well-organized Ming army sailor is better than a disorganized pirate.

As a result, there was a heated debate between the officials of the city of Laoag and the navy.

These circumstances were naturally informed to Liu Yu by Brewster.

After listening to Brewster's report, Liu Yu was thoughtful.

It seems that if he does not come, the city of Laoag will inevitably be taken by pirates.

However, the pirates who are powerful are probably more difficult to deal with than the Spaniards.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yu hurried to the station of Shuishi Town with a few personal soldiers.

With no islands to call for, Xiao Wu's Sailor Town and some pirate forces unwilling to cling to the Black Flag set up camp on the beach at the mouth of the Rawag River.

Xiao Wu has been staying in the Fu Boat, and this time Liu Yu came to Xiao Wu's base camp on the Eagle Boat.

But as soon as he stepped onto the deck, he noticed a dramatic scene.

"My lord, the Black Flag Gang hopes to attack Laoag with your lord tomorrow morning."

"Moreover, with the warships of Sailor Town as the vanguard." A short sailor with a Southeast Asian appearance on the side said to Xiao Wu with a high toe.

The soldiers behind Xiao Wu were all wide-eyed, holding knives in their right hands, eager to cut the short Southeast Asian with a thousand knives.

Liu Yu looked at the scene in front of him with interest, and he didn't step forward to disturb.

"Please tell Lord Li that I am the Duke of Mingguo, and my official position is higher than him, and he has no right to command me, and Sailor Town has consumed a lot of ammunition these days."

"There are only ten shells left in each ship, and if we want to fight again, I'm afraid we will have to transport shells from Wigan first." Xiao Wu replied calmly, his tone was very calm, and he didn't mean to be angry at all.

"Oh, Lord Xiao, are you sure you want me to go back and tell my family like this?" The Southeast Asian pirate swaggered.

Xiao Wu didn't say anything more, but turned around and went up the ship.

Several sailors stepped forward and lifted the pirate up and threw him into the sea.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu laughed straight away.

He happily went upstairs.

On the sea near the Fukufu, a soaking wet pirate was soaking in the sea and cursing.

Xiao Wu looked indifferent and didn't say a word.

"Lord Xiao, it looks like the pirates are already wary of you." Liu Yu stepped forward with a smile and looked at the figure swimming on the sea not far away.

"The pirates are strong, how are you getting in touch with the Franc Robot?" Xiao Wu was also unambiguous and went straight to the point.

"The officials of the Franc machine in Laoag are willing to cooperate with us, but their sailors do not agree."

Liu Yu paused, saw Xiao Wu's calm expression, and continued.

"So if we take the lead in attacking the pirates and so on, and after we form a stalemate with the pirates, the Franc Robot will naturally come out of the harbor and annihilate the pirates in one fell swoop."

"Hmph, use us as bait, do you want the fisherman to profit?" Xiao Wu snorted coldly.

In fact, this was not what the Spaniards meant, but Liu Yu's idea.

The negotiation was not successful, so Liu Yu changed his method, and the Ming army sailors took the lead in fighting the pirates, and at the most critical moment, the Terry fleet took the opportunity to kill and beat the pirates by surprise.

This was a decent fit for both the officials of Laoag and the Spanish navy, and the Spanish losses would be minimal whether they won or lost.

"Not to mention how long the sailor can hold out under the siege of pirates, what if those red-haired ghosts deliberately stay in the harbor and don't come out?" He Bin couldn't help but speak.

"Franco, the machine will inevitably leave the port." Liu Yu cut the railway.

"Because they didn't plan to cooperate with us in the first place, they just waited for us to lose and the pirates before they ate us in one bite." Liu Yu said calmly.
