Chapter 337: Raise the White Flag!
This battle can't be fought.
The guns on the opposing ships had a long range and great power. It only takes one shell to take out a ship. And your own artillery, not to mention the power, can't shoot in front of others, what else to fight? Fight again to find death.
Following the first reversal, the fleet led by Nellon once again reversed direction. They turned around, and the Ming fleet was not idle.
After firing two shots, the gun became more and more proficient, loading, aiming, and firing in one go.
As soon as Nelon's fleet made a U-turn, several more warships were hit, lost speed, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. Nelong could no longer maintain a cold and expressionless image, and panicked and urged the people below to move forward at full speed.
Ma Jiabao, who was sandwiched in the sea area between the two sides, was blank at this time, looking at the warship that was getting closer, he felt that the grain ship under his feet was like a flat boat on the sea, as if the waves could overturn his ship.
What ship? So fast!
What cannon? So strong!
But at the same time, I was also quietly relieved. The other party did not attack him, which means that he can't die this time.
Hahaha! Ma Jiabao, who reacted, looked at the embarrassed Spanish fleet and laughed maniacally!
Red-haired ghost of dog day! Chase! Why don't you chase it!?
"Brother Jiabao! The big ship is giving us flags! Just as Ma Jiabao was recklessly rejoicing in the rest of his life, the sailor next to him tugged him.
Ma Jiabao turned his head to look in the direction of the Xuelong fleet, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled even more heartily!
"My own people! This is our Daming's fleet! β
Xie Xuelong's fleet passed by Ma Jiabao's grain ship at a rapid pace, and the waves that set off made the grain ship shake violently. Rao was like this, Ma Jiabao still tried his best to maintain a standing posture and saluted towards the big ship in front of him.
The fleet did not stop and continued to speed towards the fleeing Spanish fleet.
The flustered Nelong turned back frequently, trying to see the fleet thrown away.
But he was disappointed, the other party's artillery fire did not stop, and the distance was getting closer and closer. He had a new understanding of this kind of warship, which he had never seen before.
The speed is also fast!
You can't beat it, you can't run away.
What to do!?
Rumble! Another cannonball hit the stern of the warship next to Nelong, and I don't know if it was an illusion, Nelong almost felt the heat wave from the explosion.
He trembled with fright, and counted the number of warships around him, seven!
There were twenty-four!
In desperation, he finally thought of a way!
"Raise the white flag!
οΌ β
Surrender! That's his way, the way he might survive. His men did not hesitate and quickly tore down the flag of the Kingdom of Spain.
"My lord! There are no white flags! A soldier said with a sad face.
Their fleet is invincible in the waters of Luzon, how could they prepare that thing!
"Go and find it! Idiot! White cloth will also do! β
Eventually, one of the soldiers tore off the white cloth from the Nelon's table, hung it up in a hurry, and ascended to the mast.
In just a few moments, another ship was concentrated and slowly sank.
"Overseer! The other side is to surrender. "...."See. Attack the opponent's ship without a white flag! β
Xie Xuelong planned to let people attack the warship that did not surrender, but there was no chance. Except for Nelon's flagship, the remaining five warships all did the same, raising the white flag.
"Wave the flag, let them stop!" Xie Xuelong commanded.
"Yes! Overseer. β
With Xie Xuelong's order, the artillery fire also stopped.
Nelong, who was in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief, saw the other party's flag through the binoculars, and ordered the soldiers to stop the ship and wait for the other party's arrival. After some friendly exchanges, the two sides decided on the next way to get along.
Seeing the other party's ships getting closer and closer, Nelong felt that he couldn't even breathe well.
The shape of the opposing ship is exaggerated, huge and not bloated. From bow to stern, from mast to deck. There is a strange beauty everywhere.
To show the sincerity of the surrender, he ordered all the soldiers to stand on deck. Secondly, he was also worried that the other party would not misunderstand anything, and give them a shot at close range.
The two flagships finally came together, and Nelong's flagship shook violently, and it took a long time to stabilize.
Xie Xuelong ordered the men to lower a rope ladder from the boat and motioned for the Spaniards to climb up.
Seeing that there was no other way, Nelong did not flinch, and took the lead in grabbing the rope ladder and slowly climbing up.
As soon as he arrived on the other deck, he was tied up by two soldiers.
Bastard! It's huge!
Nelon's heart wailed, and when he reached the deck, he really felt how big the other party's warship was. Look back at your own flagship.
, what the hell.
"What's your name? Why attack our Ming grain ship!? Xie Xuelong called for a translator, and asked Ou Neilong.
After listening to the translator's words, Nelong was dumbfounded.
Zheng Zhilong is beating us in Luzon, big brother! Isn't that what I should do if I attack your grain ships? Could it be that they should be able to transport grain over and let him be fed and have the strength to beat us?
"We, we, made a mistake."
Nelong held back for a long time and gave an ambiguous answer.
Xie Xuelong regretted it after asking, how could he ask such a non-level question." Why are you in this area? β
"Zheng Zhilong has surrounded Manila, and our Governor has sent us to patrol the waters around here to cut off Zheng Zhilong's supply lines and let him be defeated without a fight!"
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, wild fruit reading, and install the latest version. γ
"Your governor is calculating." Xie Xuelong sneered. If His Majesty hadn't ordered him to lead a fleet to come, it would have been possible for them to succeed in their treacherous scheme. "Is it just your fleet?"
"Thisβyes." Hearing Xie Xuelong's question, Neilong stood up.
"Tell the truth!" Xie Xuelong has been up and down in officialdom for so many years, and he knows the secret when he looks at Neilong's expression. He then pulled a pistol from his bosom and put it on Nelon's head.
Although Nelon, he didn't know what he was holding in his hand, but he knew that it must be something that could kill him.
"And two."
"How many? How many ships? β
"That's the size of our fleet."
"Where are they?"
"The sea areas we are responsible for are different, one of them is in the east and the other is in the west."
"Is there anything else to hide?"
"Don't dare!"
Nelong has all the questions and tells everything he knows. And at the same time as the questioning, the soldiers who surrendered also kept climbing up and were tied up in a string.
Xie Xuelong placed the surrendered Spanish soldiers at the bottom of the cabin and sent soldiers to guard them. Then he let the grain ship that was wandering back to the side come closer.
Ma Jiabao climbed onto the flagship excitedly, first saluted Xie Xuelong, and then looked at Neilong on the side.
Thinking of the brothers on several sunken ships, Ma Jiabao became gritted his teeth.
"Want to hit him?" Xie Xuelong, who was on the side, said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Let's fight." After saying that, he turned around.
Ma Jiabao was stunned for a moment, reacted, and walked towards Neilong with a cruel smile.
