Chapter 118 Escape
Suddenly the sluggish flag on the mast suddenly swayed.
A strong wind whistled across the deck.
"It's wind, it's wind." The Spanish sailors on the deck were stunned and cheered.
The sudden strong wind instantly blew the arson ships that rushed towards the Spanish warships.
The Spanish on the warship were so happy that they even started to cry.
"God, is this your will?" Terry burst into tears for a moment, and no one expected that the situation of the war would reverse like this.
"General, the mercenary has attacked the dock again." A non-commissioned officer shouted.
All of the Spaniards fell from heaven to reality at once.
"Christian, set sail." Suddenly, General Terry spoke.
"Order, raise the flag, and signal all warships to follow the Christian out of the port and return to Manila."
General Terry's words calmed down the sailors, gunners and musketeers on the deck.
The chilling of mercenaries on the pier not far away was looming.
"General, are you going to give up Ravag?" The admiral of the Christians looked at the general in front of him in disbelief.
Terry nodded, avoiding the gaze of everyone present.
"We don't know how many fireboats the Ming army has, and Lavag has fallen into the hands of the mercenaries. Now we must save our fleet." General Terry said righteously.
"General, there are thousands of Spanish people in the city of Lavague, and the brave Spanish soldiers are still resisting." Admiral Christian said tremblingly.
He was an old man who had served in the navy for decades, and had been to America and East India, fighting in the turbulent waves of the Atlantic Ocean, circulating among countless pirate ships, and bravely protecting the merchant fleet.
"I order to leave the port immediately." Terry was furious and pulled out the musket from his waist and pointed it at the admiral's chest.
The musketeers and gunners around were all stunned.
One is the respected captain and the other is the highest commander of their navy.
"Go out of the port immediately, for God's sake." General Terry shouted.
In the end, the soldiers' duty defeated their feelings. Under the order of General Terry, the Christian took advantage of the sudden strong wind to escape to the port.
Several Spanish battleships who were still fighting followed when they saw the Christian fleeing outside the port.
The mercenaries on the side did not dare to pursue them, and hurriedly bombarded the fleeing Spanish fleet and stopped after arriving.
The Ming Navy fleet, which was still waiting for the results of the battle at the port, was stunned by the sudden strong wind.
"Nimu Lama, where did the wind come from?" Xiao Wu almost vomited an old blood.
The arson ship that had been accumulated for half a month was blown by this inexplicable strong wind, and most of them didn't know where they floated.
"Sir, the warship of the Folang Jiren." Xu Bin suddenly shouted,
Looking at the Spanish fleet rushing towards him in the distance, the Ming Navy was a little at a loss.
He quickly adjusted his hull and stood in front of the Spanish fleet.
But what surprised all the Ming sailors was that not only did the Spanish warships not fired fire at the Ming warships, they turned a corner from the right side of the Ming army and ran away!
This sudden scene shocked the Ming army soldiers.
"Sir, are you chasing me?" a co-supervisor spoke.
Xiao Wu looked at the assistant chief like a fool, and the assistant chief immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
At this time, Liu Yu, who had already made an appointment with Xiao Wu, launched a siege battle on time.
As early as Mutafi conspired with him to take down Lavag from the inside and outside, Liu Yu conspired with Xiao Wu, who led the fleet to attack the Spanish fleet moored in the port with arson ship.
Liu Yu and Mutafili cooperated to attack Lavag City.
However, the situation has changed slightly now, and the Spanish fleet has actually fled.
This was unexpected to Xiao Wu, and of course Liu Yu naturally didn't know about it now.
Four red cannons bombarded the city gate, and the huge recoil made the earth shake and gravel splashed.
The already bumpy city wall was shaken by this sudden shot, and the huge shaking scared the Spaniards on the city wall.
Four red cannons show their power together. This Western artillery, which can be regarded as a twelve-and-a-half-long cannon, showed extraordinary offensive ability.
If Liu Yu hadn't wanted to take down the Rawag City Wall intact, he would have used the Red Barbarian Cannon long ago.
Of course, Liu Yu did not bombard the solid city wall now but ordered the gunners to bombard the city gate.
It’s not that the Rawag city wall is strong and that the red cannons cannot be penetrated, but that Liu Yu needs a strong city, and he has no time or energy to rebuild a wall.
The huge wooden door was directly broken by twelve pounds of shells, and the screams of the Spaniards were faintly heard in the city.
Hearing the movement outside the city, the morale of the mercenaries in the city was greatly boosted.
Mutafi laughed and led a dozen mercenaries to the Spanish square formation.
The Spaniards on the city wall fought desperately with falcon cannons, and for a moment, the Spaniards in the direction of the city wall were actually attacked from both sides.
"Sir, the red cannon has broken through the city gate." said an artillery chief.
Liu Yu nodded and signaled the cannon leader to retreat, then looked at the people behind him.
"Did you all see it? I don't need to translate it to you, right?" Those people's clothing was not Ming army clothing, nor did they even look like Han people's outfits.
Several of them are the pirate leaders who defected to Xiao Wu these days.
Since defeating Li Tianyou, there have been thousands of pirates who have defected to the Ming army.
During these days, the Ming army was responsible for the food and drink expenses of these pirates.
Of course, Liu Yu did not have such a good temper, and he kept these idle people for free.
There is only one reason why these pirates were not sent to the mining department to mine, that is, they were to die for Mingjun.
Liu Yu calmly pointed to Rawag City, and regardless of whether these pirates could understand, he spoke,
"Did you see it? In front of you is the city of Lavag, a city full of gold. Now I will give you a chance to rush into the city and robbery it all the time." Liu Yu looked at the pirate leaders in front of him with a smile.
The pirate leaders seemed to understand what Liu Yu meant, nodded excitedly and then began to command their own forces.
These pirates besieged Lavag for a whole month to rob Lavag City. Now the Ming army actually broke the Lavag City Gate, and now they are only one step away from Lavag.
These pirates went crazy one by one. Before the Ming army issued the order, they rushed towards Rawag City like crazy.
The Spanish gunners on the city wall blocked the Ming army with falcon cannons, but they were useless to face the charge of thousands of people.
After a few sporadic shots, the pirates rushed straight into Rawag City.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the Spanish army immediately withdrew from the city walls and camps, and with the cooperation of the square formation composed of Spanish spearmen, they actually fought a way out among the pirates and mercenaries.
Instead of going crazy, the Spaniards rushed out of the city of Lavague and fought the Ming army to the death, but rushed towards the residence of the Governor General Lavague.
Pirates, Spaniards, mercenaries, and the city of Lavague became particularly lively for a while.
