    "kill!"

    After counting to thirty, the lieutenant immediately gave the order to attack, and then jumped to the window first.  Huang Meng and others followed closely behind, shouting and pounced on them one after another.  By this time, the beam of the searchlight had disappeared, and the firelight seemed much brighter.  The enemy ship's gun window in front of Huang Meng was very close and at a right angle. He jumped into it, rolled on the spot, and then shot up with his knife.

    The dark cabin was filled with groans and sounds of fighting. The dim light of the fire made people vaguely see some figures. Huang Meng cursed loudly in Chinese and started to kill with the enemies who did not understand the language.  After a series of chops, Huang Meng heard another loud curse in Chinese coming from behind his opponent.  With the flash of fire from the gun in the distance, Huang Meng seemed to feel that the enemy was turning around. He swung the knife away fiercely, as if he had hit something, and some warm liquid sprayed on his face.

    Some companions accidentally bumped into the window sill, screaming and falling into the sea between the two boats, but more people poured in through the windows smoothly.  When many Ming soldiers stepped into the cabin, they would first shoot into the dark interior, both for safety and to create a light to illuminate the way forward.

    "Bind your dog eyes!" An extremely angry roar came from in front of Huang Meng. It was the lieutenant who led the team. The foreign curses could no longer be heard in the second half of the cabin. The lieutenant danced with his arms.  The knife rushed to the front row; but as a result, another Ming soldier jumped up from the side window, and without saying a word, he shot into the darkness, knocking off the lieutenant's helmet.

    The lieutenant who broke out into a cold sweat raised his arms halfway and almost cut the soldier who almost shot him off the boat: "Light up, light up!"

    A companion beside Huang Meng pulled out a fire stick and shook it vigorously. Suddenly a bright flame appeared in the cabin, and almost at the same time there was a gunshot.  The companion who started the fire was beaten so hard that he staggered and fell to the sky.

    "Spanish!"

    The one who opened fire was a Spanish sailor hiding in the dark. Following the fire, the Ming army that poured in also saw clearly the last few enemies still standing. Huang Meng and his other companions roared together and raised the fire towards them.  The enemy with the gun pounced on him, and the Spaniard dropped the gun and waved his sword to protect himself. However, he was stabbed to the ground by four or five knives in the blink of an eye The dying screams became less and less, and finally he was completely  It disappeared, leaving only the sound of chopping.

    "Stop, stop, light more lights!" the lieutenant shouted breathlessly again.

    More firelight appeared in the cabin. Huang Meng looked around. The only ones standing were Ming soldiers wearing blue and white military uniforms and domed steel helmets.  The floor was littered with motionless human bodies. Ming soldiers held up lights and looked for the exit. Soon someone shouted: "Hatch, the hatch to go up."

    The lieutenant ran to the ladder and saw that it was covered with a cover. He first put his ear to it and listened - it seemed that there was a fierce fighting up there. After listening for a moment, the lieutenant gently reached out and raised the hatch cover, wanting to try it.  Whether it was suppressed or not.  After discovering that the lid seemed to be removable, the lieutenant put his finger to his lips, made a silencing gesture to the soldiers surrounding him, grabbed a torch in his hand, and motioned to extinguish the rest of the light.

    Including Huang Meng, the Ming army all looked at the cover at the top of the ladder with vigilance. They all opened up their frames one by one and got ready for a fight.  After seeing several soldiers around him loading their rifles and pistols, the lieutenant held a torch in one hand and raised his other hand above his head, showing three fingers.

    While shaking his hands, the lieutenant reduced one finger, and then another; while retracting the last finger, several soldiers holding the lid with their hands used force at the same time, and violently flipped the lid over.  The lieutenant shouted, threw the torch up, and retreated at full speed.

    "Um!"

    "ha!"

    "ah!"

    The soldiers of the Ming army yelled and beat them up, and almost at the same time, screams of surprise came from above Huang Meng's head.

    "A Spanish guy is coming out!" As the exclamations and screams came from the entrance of the cave, two or three swords were also stabbing at the entrance of the cave.

    "Our own people, our own people!" After hearing the Chinese, Huang Meng and others shouted together, and a Ming army soldier climbed up the ladder while shouting.

    boom!

    There was a gunshot, and the Ming army who had just climbed up the ladder was shot, fell heavily, and lay straight on the ground.

    "It's one of our own, you bastard!" the lieutenant yelled, and the second one climbed up the ladder. Following him, the Ming soldiers on the lower floors climbed up the ladder to the upper gun deck.

    The fire in front of Huang Meng's eyes flickered on and off. It seemed that the first half of the cabin was already under the control of the Chinese, and the back corridor was under the control of the Chinese.There were also sounds of fighting and fighting coming from inside.

    "Get on the deck, get on the deck." A man in the distance shouted to Huang Meng and others. Through the sporadic firelight in the cabin, Huang Meng could see this man guarding a ladder. The Ming soldiers in front were following his instructions.  Say hello and climb out of the cabin from the ladder. The person guarding the ladder anxiously pushed the person up and shouted hurriedly: "Follow the captain!"

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, the three searchlights had been extinguished. Deng Ming looked up at the side of the Spanish warship. There were already many Spanish soldiers there, and they were shooting at the Ming army ship from a high position.  The Ming soldiers who stayed on the deck fought back with rifles, not to be outdone. Several Ming soldiers also operated small cannons on the deck, pointing the muzzles to a high point a few meters away, and sprayed the shells directly into the enemy's face.  Go up.

    Several guards rushed in front of Deng Ming and blocked the commander tightly behind him. However, they did not participate in the gun battle, so no Spaniards shot at Deng Ming.  The soldiers fighting on the decks of the two ships acted based on instinct. When they saw the muzzle flash there, they would scream and fire there, and then reload their weapons with all their strength - if they were not hit by the counterattack fire, they would  A shot will be fired where there is sound or light.

    Clusters of flames erupted from the muzzles of the guns, like bolts of lightning, rushing between the two ships. The soldiers on both sides had entered a state of madness. Every time they fired, they would scream with all their strength  ¡­Gradually, the voice seemed to get softer, and then got softer again.

    A friendly ship came from a distance and began to sweep the Spanish warship with a beam of light - there was only one beam of light. Deng Ming glanced at the ship and saw that there was only one light left on the ship.  .  Behind this friendly ship, there were several Ming army ships coming at full speed, but most of them had no lights.

    The Spaniards on the heights had not fired back for a long time. The Ming soldiers on the deck fired two more rounds and then stopped. They looked up at the enemy ship that was once again illuminated by the light beam, panting and observing the above.  movement.  At this time, Deng Ming also looked around him and found that Feng Xifan and other Taiwanese soldiers who were supposed to be beside him had all disappeared.

    An officer climbed up from the lower deck. He hurriedly called: "Is there any carpenter? Come and plug the leak! Everyone comes down to help scoop out water."

    After the two ships were tied up just now, the Spanish battleship's lower artillery deck fired without any miss, opening several large holes in the Ming army's lower hull. One of the holes was very close to the waterline. Every time the ship shook, it would  There was a huge influx of sea water.  This officer and a few sailors were desperately scooping water below. When he heard the gunshots above seemed to have stopped, he hurriedly climbed up to ask for support.

    The Ming soldiers remaining on the deck were less than a quarter of the people on the ship. No one answered the officer's call. They still raised their heads and looked at the suddenly silent enemy ship's side.  The fire above became brighter and brighter, and it seemed as if countless torches were lit.

    Suddenly a rope was thrown down from above, and at the next moment, several torches poked out from the side of the ship. The people holding them all wore helmets, and they were soldiers of the Ming army.  Shortly after the torch was revealed, Deng Ming saw a man jumping onto the side of the ship.  With a package in his arms and the rope in one hand, the man jumped out of the ship's side and onto the deck of the Ming army's flagship.

    The man who fell down was none other than Li Siming. His uniform was already covered in blood. Li Siming walked up to Deng Ming, let go of his hand and threw the large ball he was holding at the feet of the commander¡ª¡ª  This is the flag of the Spanish flagship, with the eagle emblem of the Spanish royal family painted on it.

    "Prime Minister, the battleship is yours." Li Siming reported loudly. He then threw a European long sword on the flag: "The Spanish commander surrendered to you, Prime Minister. This is his sword.  .¡±

    At this time, another person jumped out of the boat. Feng Xifan, whose face was covered in blood, strode behind Li Siming and praised Deng Ming loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel Li is really good at his skills."

    "Of course," Deng Ming looked down at the military flag at his feet, then raised his head and smiled at Feng Xifan: "Now Feng Weishi no longer doubts it. Lieutenant Colonel Li became the captain on his own merit."

    "I have never doubted my humble position." Feng Xifan replied seriously.

    Twenty-two of the thirty Spanish warships were captured by the Ming army in the naval battle. The resistance of the flagship was the fiercest. The blood shed by Ming officers and soldiers on this ship was equivalent to half of the entire naval battle.  Not a single Ming ship was sunk by enemy artillery, and none of the captured Spanish warships suffered irreparable damage.  Eight Spanish warships were able to escape from the battlefield because they were far away from the battlefield when the war started. Seven of them did not choose to escape to the open sea after fiercely shooting at the ghost faces in the sky, but rushed to the beach at full speed and ran aground - when they saw the devilIn the end, most people were unwilling to stay on the dangerous sea for another moment.  After washing up on the beach, the sailors above abandoned the ship and fled ashore together, running desperately inland.  After dawn, the Ming army occupied these abandoned stranded ships.

    There was only one Spanish warship that escaped from the battlefield and did not choose to rush to the beach. However, its captain was also heartbroken. The officers and soldiers on the ship sang hymns in unison and fled as fast as possible towards the way they came - in the coming days.  , these Spanish sailors will still suffer a lot, and no one of them can sleep peacefully at night before arriving in Manila.
