Today's Dongpeng Province is not an island group without soldiers, and even the number of soldiers has been increasing, and even the Ming Dynasty has established a complete coastal defense system.

It's just that many of the Xiyi people, who have always been used to rampant on the ocean, have never been able to change their pirate mentality, and they have always maintained a conqueror attitude, so they will always be very rampant to break into the forbidden area of a country, and like robbers, they will rudely and simply rob homes and houses.

When Huangshan Town encountered a large number of Xiyi invasions, many Ming officials and troops soon reacted and began to assemble towards Huangshan.

First of all, more than 50 warships of the officers and men of the Daming Naval Division, under the leadership of Li Cheng, the commander of Qianzong, drove towards Huangshan Town in an arc, and first surrounded the Xiyi warships that stopped at the ferry port of Huangshan Town.

Knock knock!

The Xiyi who stayed in the Xiyi warship parked here had also noticed the officers and soldiers of the Daming Naval Division, and at the same time began to hurriedly send people to inform their own people who rushed into the town, they also began to fire artillery in an attempt to block the Ming Naval Division.

"Fire! Kill these infidels! ”

There were Xiyi officers roaring on the ship.

The Ming naval division also returned fire with the bronze cannon on the bow of the ship, and at the same time took the initiative to meet the cannonballs and approached these Xiyi warships.

These sailing ships used by the Spanish colonizers are the famous Manila galleons in history, and the ships are quite terrifying to look at.

However, Li Cheng and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Naval Division under his command had contact with this kind of big ship, but they were not very afraid, so they did not hold back because the other party fired artillery.

Li Cheng himself shouted at this time: "Rush over!" Don't be a fucking coward! Whoever dares to retreat will kill the commander of the ship! ”

The Ming army bird boats on the waves of the sea were thus allowed to sail through the sea on hard sails and hit on the mast, and marched to the ferry port of Huangshan Town without hesitation, and it was not long before they rushed into the offshore area of the port at the cost of the sinking of three bird boats, forcing these galleons to a narrower area of activity.

At the same time, the sailors of the Ming army also burned the soft sails of these big sailing ships with divine fire flying crows.

Then many officers and soldiers began to flick their hooks and board these Xiyi galleons as their bird ships approached, ready to engage in a chord battle.

Xiyi on the sailboat was very panicked, and was busy using heavy arquebuses to line up to shoot, so that many Ming soldiers were hit by this bullet, and a big hole was broken in their bodies, and when they climbed these Manila galleons, they fell directly into the sea, like dumplings in soup, and it didn't take long for them to stain a sea area red.

Li Cheng frowned when he saw this.

He only hated that his level was not high enough, and he was not qualified to bring a double-decker big bird boat, which was made of tall pine wood from the Great Xing'an Mountains of Andong to make a keel, which could make the bird boat as large as 20 zhang, almost as big as the treasure ship when Zheng He went to the West, with more than 30 cannons and big guns, and it was completely unnecessary to let soldiers climb the boat to fight because of the small hull like now.

That's right, Li Cheng, a fleet of sailors responsible for coastal patrol, is not very big.

The real big bird ships were either defending important ports such as Quanzhou, Dengzhou, Dinghai, Haojing, and Guangzhou, or they were used as ships for high-ranking generals.

However, Daming has also increased the number of large ships, but because large ships have high requirements for technology and materials, few are launched every year.

The main warships responsible for coastal defense in non-important areas in the coastal waters are basically single-deck bird ships that are more than seven feet long.

Therefore, many times, the sailors also need to take over the shipside after encountering the Xiyi galleon, which will increase a lot of casualties.

Although Xiyi's Manila galleon was larger than the single-deck bird boat under Li Cheng's command, so that the Xiyi musketeers could inflict great damage on the Ming army on the boat, but the Ming army's sailors were particularly tenacious under the supervision of strict military discipline.

At the same time, the artillery of the bird ships also continued to bombard these galleons, and one galleon could not bear it, and before the Ming army could climb up, it broke through a large hole and was poured into a large amount of seawater, and began to sink into the sea.

On land, the Ming marines who had come to Huangshan from other places had also exchanged fire with the musketeers of Xiyi.

The thumping sound began to ring throughout Huangshan Town.

A Xiyi musketeer was slaughtering Han people door-to-door on the street on the north side of Huangshan Town, but he was shot in the head by the Ming army gunners who rushed over, and the whole person was lying on the street in a daze.

A small group of Xiyi musketeers were also wiped out on the spot after encountering the infantry squad of the Ming army in a small three-talented formation.

In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also began to enter various private houses to save people, and when they saw Xiyi musketeers killing people or raping women in private houses, they directly went over and killed these Xiyi on the spot.

Colonel Pedro rushed to the Ming garrison in Huangshan Town with 300 Xiyi musketeers and 1,500 Japanese mercenaries, and had just engaged the Ming soldiers here, and defeated these Ming soldiers who were far less numerous than his side, and captured some Ming soldiers, because he saw the wolf smoke burning and quickly withdrew to the sea.

After Pedro withdrew, he asked Captain Marquina to leave behind a hundred musketeers and a thousand Japanese mercenaries, while he led the rest of the officers and men to board a Manila galleon that was still intact and waiting for him to go up.

The Manila galleon immediately rushed out first.

The rest of the Manila galleons also turned around and prepared to flee.

"What a pity!"

"These infidels obviously have a very complete coastal defense, and we have to withdraw before we have time to kill all the heretics here, capture all their soldiers, and ask about the situation!"

Pedro also smashed his fist on the mast as he fled, expressing regret to the commander of the Manila galleon, Captain Velasco, for not being able to slaughter the town of Mount Huang.

Velasco also said helplessly at this time: "I hope to withdraw as soon as possible, we obviously underestimate the number of troops that these Ming heretics have deployed here, of course, it is more certain that they are indeed beginning to prepare to invade our God's territories in various parts of the world. ”

Pedro bowed his head and looked at Marquina, who was blocking the Ming soldiers on land.

By this time, Marquina and his infantry had formed a small Spanish phalanx, with spearmen and musketeers forming a hollow formation, in which musketeers with heavy arquebuses stood at the front, while heavy musketeers were supported by poles, while musketeers with light muskets were behind, followed by spearmen, with their spears flat, like the tusks of beasts, waiting for the arrival of the Ming infantry.

Bang bang!

As soon as the infantry of the Ming army came over, seeing this formation, they also began to change from the small three-talent formation to the three-talent formation, and it was also the heavy arquebus invented by Zhao Shizhen, that is, the chasing wind big gun was placed in the front, like a cannon, after rushing into the firing range, it launched an attack on Xiyi.

Here, the Xiyi musketeers also fired after the Ming army entered the firing range.

For a moment, there was white smoke in front of both sides.

Officers and soldiers on both sides fell, clutching their wounds and rolling and howling in the smoke.

But more and more Ming troops came, and at the same time, the Francophone machine and mother cannon pushed by the chariot also pushed over at this time, and first bombarded the Manila galleons that were responsible for receiving these Xiyi infantry to cut off the retreat of these Xiyi infantry.

At this time, the Divine Fire Raven was also ignited by the infantry behind the Sancai Formation and shot at the Manila galleon.

Soon, the manila galleon's spinnaker began to catch fire.

The Ming cavalry on both wings had also outflanked them at this time, and smashed them with three-eyed guns, cutting off their back roads.

Seeing this, the only Manila galleon that had not yet set sail to meet Maquina and the others set sail decisively, giving up the answer, trying to escape as soon as possible before the spinnaker burned out and before the Ming artillery hit the mast.

For this reason, the crew of this sailing ship has begun to desperately splash water to put out the fire.

And at sea.

Li Chengzheng commanded the officers and soldiers of the naval division under his command to climb the boat and fight the bloody battle with Xiyi, but saw that two of the seven Manila galleons that came here were beginning to prepare to turn around and withdraw, five of them did not leave because three of them had lost their speed because they were burned by the fire crows, and let the Ming army get on the boat, and one was still parked in the port to prepare to respond, so he immediately ordered to prevent these Manila galleons from escaping, and one was sunk by artillery fire.

As a result, more than 30 warships under Li Cheng's command chased after them, and at the same time, when these Manila galleons turned around and were about to withdraw, they pulled a fierce bombardment on them, and also launched more divine fire crows.

Two Manila galleons were sunk before they could be evacuated.

The last Manila galleon that was about to meet Marquina was also about to turn around, but it was blocked by more than a dozen fast centipede ships of the Ming army sailors who rushed in, surrounded in the middle, unable to travel, and finally could only watch more fire crows and cannonballs fly to their warships.

But Pedro's Manila galleon and another schooner broke through and fled deeper into the waters.

The warships of the Ming army immediately chased after them, and more than 20 small and convenient wave-opening boats chased the two galleons like smart and fast sharks.

But Xiyi's soft sailing ship is indeed fast, and it is truly like an arrow from the string.

Therefore, in the end, only one soft sailing ship was blocked by the catching wave-opening boat, and the reason why this one was blocked was because he was unlucky, and the divine fire flying crow launched by the catch-up wave-opening ship burned all his soft sails, and even the mast was on fire in the end, and he lost a lot of power.

It's just that Pedro's boat escaped by chance.

Here, Maquina is still stubbornly resisting on land.

But his stubborn resistance was in vain, and more and more Ming infantry had surrounded him and his infantry.

At the same time, there is no longer a single ship of his own army at sea.

At this time, the Ming army did not take the initiative to attack again, but only surrounded it, and sent an interpreter to call these Xiyi to surrender.

Marquina finally chose to surrender, and after seeing the guerrilla Tong Yuanzhen and Li Cheng, he said: "I hope to spare our lives, for the sake of my Holy Roman Emperor." ”
