Chapter 570: Let's Surrender

At this time, there were many warships docked in the port of Veracruz, and there were more than 100 ships of all sizes.

Due to the unclear intentions of the First Fleet stationed outside, a large number of warships and soldiers were gathered in the harbor.

But most people didn't expect that the legendary ferocious and abnormal fleet turned out to be even more ferocious than the legend.

They sadly found that the number of warships was always more than ten times that of the other party, but they could not defeat others.

To sum up, there are two reasons:

One, the range of artillery is not as far as that of the other side.

Second, the power of the cannonball is not as great as that of the other side.

As for the opponent's defense, not to mention whether it can be beaten or not, how can it not even be fought if it is close?

Edgardo, the person in charge who had been staying in the port, couldn't sit still at all, stood on the city wall and scratched his cheeks urgently, and said to himself:

"What to do, what to do!? Why is Daming's fleet so strong!?"

No one answered his question, because everyone had such doubts.

The sound of the explosion was like a hammer hitting his heart, and every time his own ship was shot, his heart trembled!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Count Armando is back!" Just as he was thinking about what to do, a soldier quickly ran up to him and reported to him.

"What! Armando? Where is it?"

"Just landed!"

"Yes! This***. I'm going to see him!"

With that, he trotted to keep up with the soldier who led the way.

After a while, he saw Armando, whose face was covered in blood.

"Edgardo! You ordered me not to dock!?"

As soon as they met, Armando asked angrily.

"Armando, you brought the Ming army here?" Edgardo ignored his questioning and asked angrily.

"How do you speak? I escaped from the Ming army with my life! Can I decide if they chase me or not?"

"Then why don't they follow someone else?"

"*** Your mother, Edgardo, you let the donkey kick in your brain!? How can such a thing be asked? You have the time to talk nonsense with me, you might as well think about what to do with these warships on the sea! Lao Tzu is gone! Goodbye!"

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave!

"You can't go! Didn't you bring the Ming army here, and it would have become what it is now? What did you do to the Ming army?"

"What the can I do!? What can I do with those broken pirate ships I brought out?! It wasn't His Highness who asked me to test the reality of the Ming army, but after just firing two shots, I was beaten and there was not even a hair left, only one of my warships escaped back! I ran all the way, and they chased all the way! How many times have the shells passed by, am I easy!"

"You shot at them?"

"That's right! Isn't it to test the power of their ships? How can you test without firing?"

"your grandmother!" Edgardo couldn't hold back any longer, and punched Armando in the bloodied face.

Armando was wounded and fell to the ground with a thud.

His men were not happy and came forward to avenge him, but Edgardo's men rushed forward as well, and the two sides scuffled together.

Edgardo looked at the absurd and funny scene in front of him, listened to the incessant explosion in his ears, and roared angrily: ....

"Stop!"

Hearing his roar, the two sides slowly stopped.

"Armando, even if I let you go, where are you going?"

"Take care of me, take care of your port!"

Armando didn't want to say a word of nonsense, turned around and left.

He just wanted to get out of this terrible place, away from the terrible shells of the Ming army.

Edgardo looked at Armando's back in the distance, dazed.

Armando can go, but as the head of the port, where can he go?

He looked at the mess again, and wondered if he was dreaming

"My lord, let's surrender!" A pro-soldier said cautiously.

The response was Edgardo's reprimand!

"Shut up! The Ming army's posture is simply determined to fight us to the death! What's the use of surrendering? Pass the order down and destroy the opponent's ship at all costs! Aren't they just nine warships? Even if I hit them, I have to sink them!"

"Yes..."

Edgardo didn't want to surrender, not because he had much arrogance in his heart, but because he felt that it had reached this point, where was there any room for maneuver.

Under Edgardo's orders, a dozen of the fastest ships launched a suicidal assault on the Ming fleet.

It turns out that in the face of absolute strength, even if you work hard, it is useless.

The charge of more than a dozen ships was only blown up and sunk a little closer to the First Fleet, and did not bring any damage to the First Fleet.

As the fighting continued, a scene that made the Spaniards in and around the harbor even more desperate.

On the sea level in the distance, there was a fleet again, looking at the hideous shape of the warship, and the fucking Ming army was coming.

The first to be spotted were the soldiers standing on the ramparts on the shore, who exclaimed in surprise and reported the news to Edgardo.

Ahhh

Edgardo glanced at the monocular and let out a wail of pain.

The nine ships had already beaten them to death, but they didn't expect a large group to come.

Does this still make people live?

The answer seemed to be no, and the Second Fleet joined the battle as soon as it arrived.

Compared to the First Fleet, which has already fought many battles, they are more eager for a hearty battle!

With the addition of the Second Fleet, the artillery fire became more intensive, and the Spaniards' battle losses increased in a straight line. Edgardo really wanted to surrender at this point. Because more than 100 of their warships have sunk, if they continue like this, there will not be any more intact warships in the harbor in less than an hour!

But just now he reprimanded his subordinates, and now he takes the initiative to surrender, isn't it very shameless?

"Surrender, sir! If this continues, the brethren will die!" An officer was persuaded with a crying voice.

"Good!"

Well?

The officer's tears immediately stopped.

Didn't you just bite and fight with others to the end?

How did it get so fast?

Anyway, give the order to go.

"Stop fighting! Surrender! Raise the white flag! People on the shore, wave the white flag!"

The officers shouted as they ran, and the crowd stirred again.

Compared with sending people to death without any advantage, surrender seems to be more reassuring!

So, everyone left their posts one after another and went to find the white flag. If you can't find a white flag, you can find a white sheet and a cotton cloth instead.

In a word, it would be good if dancing would make people see the sincerity of their surrender.

For a time, on the shore, on various warships, were angry with white flags.

Lu Shiyun, who had been keeping up with the battle situation, hurriedly reported to Xuelong.

"Overseer, Overseer, they have surrendered!"

"Well, I see. Let the people below cease fire!"

After the other side hoisted the white flag, the two fleets of the Ming army immediately stopped firing.

Edgardo felt a pain in his eggs.

If we knew you wanted us to surrender, we would have surrendered a long time ago!
