Watching the main ship of the Black Flag flee the battlefield, the pirates completely collapsed, and what little fighting spirit they had was lost.

Hundreds of pirate ships began to flee in a panic, and many even collided directly with each other because of the confusion of command.

However, the sailors of the Ming army became more and more courageous, and the original panic and fear were swept away, and they took the initiative to pursue the fleeing pirates.

The sudden reversal of the battle situation relieved all the Ming soldiers present.

The collapse and flight of the pirates made the soldiers of the Ming army burst into bursts of cheers.

However, seeing the pirates suddenly collapse and flee, Xiao Wu frowned, and his expression was even more solemn than before.

The gunboat not far away is eyeing the Franc machine man at the moment.

"Aim for the Akito warships and send them to the bottom of the sea."

Terry smiled contemptuously as he looked at the fleeing pirate ship.

He let go of the fleeing Black Flag Gang's main ship, and personally led the flagship to rush to Xiao Wu's lucky ship.

Although the Manila authorities signed an agreement with Ming Cheng.

However, this does not mean that Terry and his fleet will accept the agreement.

The sudden rout of the pirates did not save the crisis of the Ming army's naval divisions.

The Franc Robot warship finally showed its fangs.

With the exception of a few armed merchant ships that continued to hunt down the pirates, most of the Spanish battleships began to charge towards the Ming army not far away.

The 24-pounder gun it carried even fired from a distance outside the range of the Ming artillery.

The sudden change made the Ming army stunned, but only Xiao Wu and other Ming army generals expected it and did not panic.

"Sail and withdraw." Xiao Wu issued an order, and the Ming warships began to retreat with the help of the wind.

Seeing the retreat of the Ming Army's sailors, Terry shook his head and smiled.

Now it was a southerly wind, and the fleet was blown close to the coast of Laoag.

Isn't this self-defeating?

Seeing the actions of the Ming army, the Spaniards present cheered.

They had already been holding back the fire in their bellies, if it weren't for the Ming army, how could they have been trapped in the port of Laoag for nearly a month.

Seeing the Ming army fleeing, these Spanish sailors immediately set sail and chased after them.

The number of artillery of the Ming army was inferior to that of Spanish warships, and the quality and quantity of heavy artillery were incomparable.

Retreat is the best tactic, Xiao Wu is helpless, the arson boat has been used up last night.

Huge columns of water were still lifted on the surface of the sea, and the waves crashed against the side of the ship, and the sea water had already soaked the sailor's single clothes.

A sea ship at the back of the palace was directly destroyed by the twenty-four-pounder guns of the Spanish warship that caught up, but in half an hour, only a canvas and some wooden planks remained on the sea.

The sailors of the Ming Army present did not dare to come out at this time, whether they were veterans of Shuishi Town or novices who had just entered Fubo Town.

The rumbling of artillery and the occasional column of water around them kept telling them that the red-haired ghost was getting closer.

"General, the remaining pirate ships have been expelled from this area by our armed merchant fleet." A lieutenant reported.

Terry nodded,

"Pass the order down and tell the merchant fleet to stop pursuing the pirates and return to the port of Laoag." General Terry commanded.

He wasn't interested in these pirates, for even if they were sunk under the sea today, countless pirate ships would still plunder the waterways tomorrow.

This was something that would have happened in the Age of Discovery, and it was not something that could have been changed by a single Spanish fleet.

However, the Ming army sailors in front of them are different, they are just a group of exiles.

Sink them all in this area, and then the Philippines will be safe.

"Presumably Governor Juan thinks the same way." Terry muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a heavy artillery shell landed on the sea not far from Terry's battleship.

The sudden artillery shot startled the Spaniards present.

Listening to the sound, it seems to be a twenty-four-pound shell.

When fighting with the Ming army's naval division before, the Ming army fired twelve-pound shells at best, so it is possible that the Ming army still has a big guy.

Before the Spanish sailors could react, several more heavy shells smashed into the Spanish battleship.

The most recent one fell within a dozen meters of a third-class battleship.

The jets of water drenched the Spanish sailors on deck.

"Damn it, where did these Han people get their heavy artillery?" A Spanish captain looked incredulously at the Ming warship fleeing in the distance.

"Sir, it looks like a shore cannon." One of the first mates pointed to the coastal batteries in the distance.

At the moment they were only a nautical or two from the coastline.

"Damn, are the commanders of the batteries drunk, the shells are all over our heads." The bearded captain was furious.

However, he quickly reacted and it seemed that something was wrong.

Because the shells fell on their side from time to time, and the Ming army sailors, who were closer, did not even hit them with a single shell.

"Something is wrong, send a flag to the coastal batteries to stop firing." General Terry looked at the battery in the distance and had a bad premonition.

"Sir, the flag of the Ming army is hung on the fort." One of the first mates yelled.

Terry was stunned, as if he was staggering backwards like five thunderbolts, and was held up by several adjutants.

Seeing the flag of Huben Town erected on the coastal fort a nautical mile away, Xiao Wu finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Sir, black smoke is coming from the direction of Laoag City." From the lookout post came the shouts of sailors.

"The Ming army is attacking Laoag." An astonishing news spread among Spanish sailors.

Just when the pirates were violently killing the Ming army's naval division, the Ming army's Huben Town, which had just annihilated 800 pirates in the camp, was not idle, and rushed towards the nearby Laoag coastal fort.

The coastal fort was not far from the city, and its heavy artillery muzzles were facing the vast sea, so I didn't expect that someone would cover it up from the slope behind.

The unsuspecting Spanish gunners and the requisitioned natives were slashed and killed by the soldiers of Huben Town, and the Spanish gunners, who were already on the verge of collapse, surrendered one after another.

The aborigines who were recruited were even more dispersed.

After taking control of the Spaniards' forts, the soldiers of the town of Brave took advantage of the situation to launch a feint attack on the city of Laoag.

The sudden attack stunned the Spaniards in the city of Laoag.

Looking at the sudden change, Terry was a little overwhelmed.

"There is no point in the general chasing and killing the Ming army's sailors now." The first mate stepped forward and spoke.

"If the city of Laoag is lost, then we will have to go back to Manila."

The first mate's words calmed General Terry.

The Ming army has already occupied the coastal batteries, and in such a pursuit, the losses of the fleet are bound to be not small.

Terry had no choice but to order the ship to return.

The armed merchant fleet escorting the escort in the distance returned early when they saw black smoke rising from the city of Laoag.

The owner's assets of these merchant ships are in the city of Laoag, and there must be no loss.

Looking at the Spanish fleet that was gradually moving away, the sailors of the Ming army who survived the catastrophe cried with joy.

They survived in the face of the pirates and the cannons of the Spaniards.

Even Xiao Wu was sitting on the deck at the moment.

"It's a really bad fight." Xiao Wu punched the deck.

Suddenly, the cannon of the giant ship of the Francophone man pressed and hit, which made these sailor generals from the Zheng group feel a great shame.

Fortunately, the army brothers in Huben Town took control of the Spaniards' coastal batteries in advance, otherwise the Ming army sailors would have really died here.
