Chapter 342: It's Already Big.

As a result, it's all a mess.

"What's going on!?" Oraza screamed in anger.

None of the officers and soldiers around him dared to answer, and everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Over the years, he has been around Luzon without setbacks.

But such a tragic situation in front of him has never happened, and it can be said that it is at his own doorstep.

And most importantly, not even the enemy was seen.

With red eyes, Oraza ordered to speed up and soon landed on the island of Corregido.

"Your Excellency the Governor! Whining! It's horrible! Their ships are too firepowered! We can't beat it!" As soon as Oraza set foot on the island of Corregido, Amado rushed up to Oraza and cried.

Whether it's really scared or pretending, it's not okay for Amado not cry. He led fifty warships out to fight, and only three of them came back with all their tails, regardless of whether the enemy was fierce or not, the primary responsibility was that he could not escape.

Crying twice, maybe it's a little useful.

"Stand up and speak!" Oraza looked at Amado, who was crying with a tearful nose, and said impatiently with a frown.

Amado stood up, but the tears still flowed down his face, and he was indeed frightened.

"I obeyed your orders and led fifty warships from Corregido Island, thinking that after the other side came into the range of artillery, I would open fire and sink a few of the other party's warships, but who knows how far the other side had sailed, the other side had already opened fire. I made a rough estimate that it was at least ten miles away from the opponent's warship at that time! Moreover, the enemy's shells are all powerful, and if our warships are to be hit, it will be good if they can not be blown in two.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I hastened to order the flotilla to disperse, intending to get closer and return fire with artillery. Seeing that we were scattered, the opponent's hit rate decreased, and they also stopped attacking. But the mistake is that we shouldn't be so close to them, our shells hit their ships like tickles! Not to mention sinking them, there was not even a reaction at all. Even the flagship I was riding in was concentrated in the stern of the other party's shells, and if it wasn't for the two men to save each other, my body was cold now! Woo!"

Amado was emotional, but spoke in a coherent manner, quickly recounting what had happened on the battlefield. After saying that, I cried again!

"*** shut up Lao Tzu!"

Amado's cry did not get Oraza sympathy, and he kicked him in the stomach. His eyes were red as he looked at the officers and soldiers around him.

"Is what he said true!?"

Everyone looked at Oraza, who was almost crazy, and retreated in fear, and then nodded again and again. Although Amado's acting skills are very clumsy, what he says is true.

"You're going to tell me! Of my fifty Spanish warships, three of them were beaten by the opponent's seven warships, and as a result, even the skin of the other side was not broken?"

It is said that the facts are in front of us, and it is impossible for Oraza not to believe it. But he couldn't figure out how seven ships could be hundreds and fifty ships? Even if many of these fifty ships were built later, and only a few Spanish galleons were built, they would not be so vulnerable, would they?

"Your Excellency, their ship. It looks like it's made of iron!" A soldier said cautiously.

"Made of iron!?"

Oraza was speechless. Do you look that stupid? A ship made of iron can float on the sea!?

"What the hell is going on?"

Ignoring Amado, who was lying on the ground wailing, Oraza's eyes shot sharply, hoping that someone would stand up and tell the truth.

"Your Excellency the Governor! I'm not lying! The other party's boat is really very strong! My ship was so close to them that I could hear the cannonballs crashing against their ship!"

"Yes, my lord, I saw a cannonball hit their hull without even shaking it!"

"I saw it too!"

"I heard that, too!"

Someone started, and these parties began to reassure.

Auraza's brow furrowed even deeper.

He didn't quite believe what Amado said, but he also didn't believe that everyone had joined forces to deceive him. But what these guys say is simply fantastical!

"My lord, I can draw! I can draw what their ship looks like!"

A polite-looking officer said.

Hearing this, Oraza nodded in agreement, and then ordered someone to find a pen and ink, and the young officer played on the spot, and soon a picture of naval battles was sketched vividly.

"Why did you paint their ship so big?" Oraza was also a little dissatisfied.

"It's that big."

"It's that big!?"

"Yes! It's huge!"

Oraza looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him sincerely.

Well, big is big.

"What are these two round ones? What's up there?" Oraza pointed to the two chimneys in the middle of the boat.

"I don't know, but these two look like chimneys, because the black smoke keeps coming out."

Oraza nodded, and went on to study the drawn ship.

It doesn't seem to be anything special except for being longer, wider, and taller.

Judging from the appearance, it is really impossible to tell which country it is.

But no matter which country it is, shouldn't you just hit and run?

"Lord Doge, I think they look like Akito's warships." Another officer whispered.

"Why do you say that?"

"I saw through the binoculars that the people on the ship were wearing clothes that resembled those of Akito's soldiers."

"Akito?"

Oraza's head was chaotic at this time, since he was a Ming person, why did he run away after fighting?

Is there a lack of ammunition, or is there a deeper plan?

"The order goes down, and all ships are not allowed to go to sea. In addition, there are ships scattered to prevent the other side from attacking suddenly."

"Yes!"

Oraza thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good solution.

What can be used to make up for the gap in strength?

Besides, if these are really the warships of the Ming Dynasty. And if it's really as sharp as they said, this battle basically doesn't need to be fought, just surrender. Otherwise, it will only increase the number of casualties.

Instead of returning to Manila, Oraza stayed on the island of Corregido.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful the steel monster in everyone's mouth was!

Corregidor at night is quiet, the weather is nice and the breeze blows the sea. The sea gently laps against the shore, giving the impression that it is quiet and peaceful.

But the Spanish soldiers on the island did not sleep very well, fearing that the terrible ships would attack at night.

Oraza spent the night in a half-asleep and half-awake night, until dawn, and he did not wait to worry about the attack of the night. He ate an unsatisfactory breakfast on the island, and went out on his rounds.

Another half a day passed, and the sea was still calm. Because of the fighting, the ships that came and went for the past two days did not dare to come again. There is nothing on the surface of the sea.

Knowing that it was ten o'clock at noon, Oraza, who had been drowsy after lunch, suddenly heard a shout!

"It's coming!"
