The first thousand two hundred and fifty-three chapters break through in ten minutes
It’s no wonder how lonely the Spanish can have invincible here, because they are really powerful here.
The firearm configuration has been completed, and only a bunker is needed to stop those pirates with cold weapons.
Tens of thousands of pirates attacked Manila, but were defeated by the Spanish army of hundreds of people, and suffered heavy losses. The Spanish relied on the power of muskets to block the Japanese pirates' fierce shooting.
Even Zheng Zhilong has suffered losses in the hands of these Spaniards.
Therefore, these Spaniards who often win battles naturally developed an invincible and lonely mentality.
But this time they met the regular army from the Ming Dynasty, and the elite Marines among the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.
I don’t know how many of their experience in fighting pirates can be left in the Marine Corps.
Twenty-three Spanish warships greeted them. Among the twenty-three warships, only seven of which were the main warships, and their displacement was about 800 tons, while the rest were all at 300 tons.
But they were facing the rapid destroyer of the Ming South China Sea Fleet. Not to mention the tonnage, the Ming warship with a minimum of 1,200 tons, is not a joke that the power of thirty-seven ships appearing on the sea.
As the flagship, the Bai Ze was in the center. When the Spanish warship approached the Ming army's warship less than ten miles away, the warship on the opposite side was fully visible.
There was still some sea fog in the early morning, so these Spaniards didn't see it so clearly. Now they felt what they were facing.
"Oh, the kidneys are dripping!" A Spanish soldier even popped up in his mouth.
The flagship Bai Ze, which is in the center, is really too big. Its body is more than 100 meters long and its displacement is nearly 5,000 tons. It is simply a giant at sea.
Next to this warship is a group of warships that seem to be less than half the length of this giant, but even these warships are a little bigger than the largest main warships on their own.
Ships are the first combat power in naval battles. Faced with a fleet of this size, even the Spaniards, who were still experiencing how lonely invincible it is, began to tremble.
Do they suspect this is really a pirate?
Could it be that the Dutch is here?
When did the pirates become so generous? If the pirates here have all this virtue, they are still the dominant ghost here, so I will just run away.
What kind of glory is not glorious? Who would like to spread it? I will never come anyway.
Although they have already started to face each other, they really want to ask the other side, is it still time to retreat by themselves now?
Unfortunately, the opponent would not answer them because they saw that the warship on the opposite side had begun to turn and faced them with the strongest firepower on the side.
As the commander of this fleet, Kebide could only stabilize himself because he had no choice.
"Soldiers are ready to fight!"
"You are brave Spanish soldiers! They are just a group of pirates. Don't think they are powerful when you see their ships. You are the real warriors!"
"Use the cannons in your hands! Tell the opposite side that the ship's master is useless, and we are fighting the ship's master!"
At this time, Ke Bide was completely unwilling to give up until the Yellow River, and shed tears without seeing the coffin. What is the big ship? Our cannons must be better than you!
So the Spanish soldiers came to their senses, yes, what's wrong with the ship's big one? Maybe they don't have a few cannons, our Spanish cannons are the best.
They began to turn the hull and then faced the Ming people's fleet sideways.
While loading shells, the Spaniards looked at the Ming warships with jealous eyes. Although our Spanish artillery is powerful, it is also a blessing to be able to drive large ships.
After both sides entered a 1,000-meter radius, all the Spaniards raised their hearts.
Because the artillery battle was about to begin, they were waiting, and when they got closer, they set off firecrackers to make a good start, and most of them targeted the Baize.
There is no way for anyone to make this ship the biggest? If you don’t hit you, who will you hit?
It’s not good if the ship is big, and it’s easy to hit it. These Spaniards thought sourly.
"Prepare to open fire, I'll give you ten minutes to break through them quickly, and the Marines will be ready to land!" Zeng Zeng took charge of the Baize and issued a command order.
These small boats block the road. If they can't break through within ten minutes, they can really go home and breastfeed their children.
The troop transport ship, less than five miles from the fleet behind, also began to speed up, and the small boat used for landing on the ship was also untied the fixed rope and prepared to be put down.
"Fire!" Along the distance of 800 meters, the artillery carried on thirty-seven warships began to roar.
Ke Bide saw the fire suddenly on the opposite side. The joy that had just risen was frightened and wanted to pee. He thought that this group of people were mobs and did not understand naval battles at all. What can be accurate at such a long distance, but when he looked up, he saw the dense black spots coming towards him in the sky.
That's all shells!
"Boom boom boom!"
The warship where Kebide was located was directly hit by twenty-nine shells. All of these twenty-nine shells were flowering bullets, and they hit the deck of Kebide's battleship, and then exploded in waves.
The upper deck of the warship was blown up almost instantly, and the black smoke and orange-red flames rose up, and countless pieces of wood flew everywhere.
Ke Bide, who was commanding on the bridge, was torn to pieces by the rapid explosion without even reacting.
Faced with the bombardment of thousands of artillery by the Ming army, the area where the Spanish fleet was located was directly covered.
It was like a slaughter, and it was baptized by the Spanish warship on the deck with a flowering bullet. Fortunately, the main warship could withstand a few waves, but the 300-ton boat was not able to do it after being hit by a few. Some shells even penetrated the deck and exploded in the cabin, directly blowing the boat out of a big hole.
Two rounds of artillery passed, and thirteen large torches appeared on the sea. The remaining Spaniards seemed to be scared and directly raised their flags and lowered their flags and surrendered.
In less than ten minutes, the Ming fleet had already ended the war on the sea.
The stunned Spanish infantry soldier on the shore looked at everything in front of him, and his chin really fell to the ground.
Their powerful Spanish fleet was defeated by this fleet of unknown origin in such a short time.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Retreat!" A major quickly directed the people on the dock to retreat. The fleet could not stop it. Then these people stayed here to seek death. The artillery on the fleet would tear them to pieces.
