Volume Four, Chapter 198, Ming Army Mighty
Outside the Port of Manila, the Ming Navy's South Ocean Fleet and the Spanish colonial fleet were in a tense confrontation. If we follow the historical development trajectory, the Spanish colonial fleet must be far stronger than the Ming Navy's Navy, but now the situation is reversed.
On the side of the Ming Navy, there were hundreds of warships of all sizes and sizes, and the artillery reached more than 7,000 terrain. The city tower-like lucky ships were densely packed, and they looked like they made people feel their scalp.
On the other hand, there were only more than twenty ocean-going sailboats on the Spanish colonial fleet, which were only a little larger than the Cangshan warship. In front of the Ming Navy's Fu Ship Warship, it was like a baby in front of a strong man.
Yang Cong stood proudly on the bow of the Jiazi ship, held up his telescope, and looked down at the more than 20 poor "little sailboats" in Spain, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With this little strength, you dare to come to the Ming Dynasty to act wildly. You may underestimate the Ming Dynasty today!
He glanced around briefly, then ordered without hesitation: "Send a flag and order the other party to surrender, otherwise we will open fire."
These words were really domineering. The Ming army flag bearer who waved his hand to sing the flags on the lookout table couldn't help but look proud on his face.
Le Yashibi, the commander of the Spanish colonial fleet, saw the flag verbs of the Ming fleet, but his face turned green. What a joke, surrender?
Spain is the current maritime overlord and the world's number one power. You, a fleet of a "indigenous" country in the Far East, dare to ask us to surrender!
He seriously suspected that the artillery on the Ming army warships were all fake. Even if they were real, they were probably shoddy earth cannons, and their range and power were simply not comparable to their cannons.
Surrender, it is impossible to surrender.
He decided to talk to others first to see if he could use Spain's "fame" to scare them away.
Soon, he also made a flag verb, which roughly means that there is something to say, don’t open fire, we ask for negotiations.
negotiation?
Is there anything to talk about? I have said that if you don’t surrender, just start firing. Are you kidding me?
Yang Cong snorted coldly, then ordered decisively: "Transfer the order, all the lucky ships will set up attack formations, aim at the enemy warships, and fire a round of volleys on the right side."
With his order, the Nanyang Navy fleet immediately began to change its formation, and the fifty lucky ships were arranged in an orderly manner, gradually posing a long dragon of more than ten miles long on the sea.
Leyashibi was shocked when he saw this. This was the prelude to a volley on the side!
He quickly shouted: "Come on, all the warships line up, load shells, and prepare for a volley of the right side."
The battle is so rigid now, especially naval battles. When dealing with side volleys, you can only use side volleys. If you turn around, you will run away. That is simply a search for death. It is very likely that before you turn around, someone's shells have already hit.
However, even if Li Yashi reacted faster, it was a little later, because the sailboat could not compare with the steamer in terms of speed or steering. More than 20 warships on his side were not lined up, and the Ming Navy's Fu Ship warship was pressing towards their left front like a dragon swinging its tail.
Immediately followed by a terrifying roar, "boom boom boom boom boom", "boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...
The roar of the artillery showed no sign of stopping as soon as the cannon sounded. The shells hit the Spanish colonial fleet like storms. For a moment, the sea near the entire fleet exploded with water columns of soaring into the sky. Except for the sails several meters above the sea, nothing else could be seen.
Where could Spanish warships withstand such a blow? Before the first round of side volleys of fifty lucky ships were finished, the warships began to tilt and sank.
Leyabi looked at the mist in front of her and the wood chips flying around in horror, not knowing what to do.
The artillery fire of the Ming army was too fierce, and they had no power to fight back!
Suddenly, he felt his feet tremble, and then the warship under his seat fell to the right like a rush.
It's over, it's the rhythm of a shipwreck!
It's over, everything is over!
Is there any rescue for a shipwreck at sea?
If there are your own warships nearby, of course there will be rescue.
However, the flagship he was riding on was about to sink at this moment. Other warships, decks, etc. were not as thick as flagships, so how could they bear it?
In other words, the more than 20 warships under his command are likely to have been sunk. In this case, unless the Ming army is kind enough to come to save them, they will die.
As for swimming back to the shore, don't joke. Although their location is not very far from the port terminal, it is also relative to warships. For people, it is impossible to swim back within a distance of more than ten miles.
Under the terrifying firepower of the Ming army, the Spanish colonial fleet was like paper. With a round of side volleys, more than two thousand shells were smashed, and more than twenty warships were sunk!
After a long time, the mist on the sea surface had just dissipated. Yang Cong carefully glanced with a telescope, and then ordered lightly: "Send the order, all the Cangshan warships come forward to salvage the prisoners."
Li Yashibi was "rescued" like this, but after he was "rescued", he was tied up by the Ming army. It was not until a Ming Empire officer with a general appearance interrogated him and interrogated him one by one and found that he was the commander of the fleet. Only then did someone loosen his tie and take him to the Ming army's flagship.
However, he had just met the commander of the Ming army and was pressed to the ground by two Ming army with a tiger back and waist. He couldn't move. That feeling was so frustrating.
He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "I am the commander of the Spanish Far East Fleet, so you should respect it."
After hearing the interpretation of Tongzhi, Yang Cong couldn't help but look at the broken wooden board floating in the distance, then curled his lips slightly and said, "Your fleet is gone, and you are our prisoner. What kind of respect or disrespect? Will you respect the prisoner?"
When Li Yashibi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his head again, shouted with courage: "You dare to fight undeclare and attack our Spanish Far East Fleet. Our King knows that, and will never let you go."
He just thought Daming knew that Spain was the overlord of the sea and would be scruples.
But he never thought that Yang Cong said disdainfully: "Have you greeted Luzon, a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty? You are the ones who fought without declaration? We just came to rescue at the request of the vassal state, why not declare the war? Are you allowed to fight others and not allow others to fight back? What is the logic of robbers?"
When Li Yashibi heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.
Do you still need to say hello to open up a colony?
But they never say hello, they pick up the guy and get on!
If the Ming Empire was an ordinary indigenous country, it might be possible to scare Spain's reputation. Problem, the Ming Empire was not an ordinary indigenous country at all, and it was the overlord of the Far East.
He secretly glanced at the head of the ship not far away, and then lowered his arrogant head like a confession.
Just kidding, the terrifying firepower of the Ming army is probably not even able to fight with their invincible fleet!
