    "This is impossible.¡è" Hong Simei already felt her vision went dark and almost fell down.  Although Christine is the top commander of the squadron, she is surrounded by people from the Ming Dynasty.  There are many members of the Hong clan here. Even if their level is limited, it is impossible for them to rebel at this time.  "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have released those Spanish prisoners of war. I'm going to skin her and beat her tendons." Angered, Hong Simei pulled out a short gun, but Li Yanqing stopped her hand and said, "Now  In a hurry, everything is completely messed up. There is no need to fight this battle. Our squadron has no fewer ships than the other side, and the cannons are not as good as the other side. Just remember, I am with you, we are born together.  Let's die together. Come on, let me go out with you. It's not a big deal. The worst outcome is that we both get into trouble." He said it forcefully, but the truth is not that simple.  Although in order to strengthen the attack power, all the heavy artillery was assigned to the troops that captured Manila, and a thousand Zhejiang soldiers were strengthened, bringing the number of Zhejiang soldiers in the attacking force to as high as 4,000.  But the problem is that Spain also built a bastion on the base of Manila.  Who can say how many ways the Ming Dynasty's troops can use this kind of fortress?  Before, he had pinned his hopes on the Manila chess pieces to be closed inside and outside, but the current situation showed that the two most important chess pieces betrayed him, and he was not sure about the reliability of the other chess pieces.  Even Christine ran away at this critical moment, can others believe it?  He looked back at Xie Yunshang, "I took you by force. If you hate me in your heart, why not stab me now? If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yunshang had already slapped me in the face.  on his face.  Then she rushed forward and hugged him desperately, asking for a kiss, "Master. Do you know how much I hated you at the beginning and how much I wanted to kill you. But since I heard you say, all women are your heart's content,  I can't live without you. I just want you to stab me hard, just like these ridiculous nights. Anyone who wants to stab you will be wiped out with a slap in the face.  , I will stab him to death. Even if I confront Ye Feihuan, I will not show mercy. I just ask you to let me call you my father-in-law." "I will take charge of this matter for him," said Hong Simei.  If you win, your marriage will be settled. If you don't win, I will let you become a eldest wife." Although the morale of the entire fleet increased greatly under Li Yanqing's personal inspection, especially the flagship's lead, it further encouraged the morale of the troops.  The situation of the war is not optimistic.  In terms of the number of ships, after Christine¡¯s fleet left the team, the two fleets were evenly matched.  On ship quality.  The performance of Hu Jingshui's new sail warship, which combines Chinese and Western styles, is not inferior to Spanish warships.  In terms of artillery quality, the cannons equipped by the East India Company were more advanced, including many bronze cannons, which were more powerful than the Spanish iron cannons.  But the problem is the crew and sailors of the East India Company.  It's just that the second- and third-line troops' gunnery and ship control skills are slightly insufficient compared to the enemy.  Although the East India Company fired the first cannon, the threat was not great.  The Spanish navy simply rushed over under gunfire.  "Fire ship! Antwerp Burner!" It was just that the Spanish fleet had bad luck in the war and had just rushed over.  They found hundreds of unowned boats from the Ming Dynasty sweeping toward them along the tide.  This was still too hasty to prepare, and the main force of the fire ship was in Xiangshan.  Otherwise, in this round, Spain may have ships that are unable to escape, catch fire and sink.  Although this round of fireships did not cause actual casualties, it destroyed the formation of the Spanish troops.  This group of people's fear of fire ships far exceeded the Ming Dynasty's imagination. The formation of the entire army was scattered, and the battle situation seemed to have turned to the Ming Dynasty's side.  Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After all, the East India Company's fleet was too new. After the enemy's formation was scattered, it failed to seize the fighter plane to deliver a fatal blow. On the contrary, its own rhythm became chaotic. Especially the artillery skills were too poor and the cannonballs were fired.  Quite a few, but the actual damage is not worth mentioning.  These people adhere to the pirate style. When the opponent's formation is scattered, their own formation concept is gone. They rush to engage in battle, capture and kill each other, and it becomes a mess.  "Report, the enemy fleet flagship has been found." "The Yiren flagship has been found." The encounter between the two flagships is another proof of the chaos on the battlefield. It was originally a fleet battle, but in the end it turned into a bad ship-to-ship battle. Hong  The fourth sister blushed and said: "After all, I am a pirate and cannot lead soldiers. At the critical moment, my son-in-law showed his true colors. It's so embarrassing." Compared with her regret, Alfonso was very happy, "Great  Yes, a barbarian is a barbarian. Even a barbarian armed to the teeth is no match for a gentleman. Order to focus all your firepower and destroy the enemy's flagship." As a time traveler who was three hundred years ahead of his time, Alfonso did not.  Unlike the ordinary Spanish navy of this era, which liked boarding battles, it focused more on artillery battles.  Therefore heThe artillery on the ship was the most powerful and the gunners were the best.  After all, the navy is not a pirate. Under his order, two Karak-class warships immediately joined the team. The three warships concentrated fire on Li Yanqing's flagship. On the contrary, the ships on Li Yanqing's side fell into a single attack on the Spanish warship.  During the pursuit, there were no guards around.  At the level of the gunner, Li Yanqing was also absolutely passive. Shells fell next to the battleship, splashing huge water columns, and the entire ship was knocked up and down.  "Ms. sir!" Hong Simei staggered, but she was caught by Li Yanqing.  She gritted her teeth and said, "There are lifeboats on the ship. You go quickly. Fourth sister will never fall into the hands of foreigners and embarrass you. If you leave, I will wipe your neck."  We will live and die together." Li Yanqing also became angry and hugged Hong Simei with one hand and Xie Yunshang with the other. "Let's see who can kill whom." Alfonso on the other side also found out and wanted to knock him.  Driving this boat doesn't seem that easy.  The outer shell of this ship was actually covered with a thin layer of iron, which greatly affected the lethality of its own shells, and even if the hull was broken, the ship would not sink.  Naturally, he didn't know what a watertight compartment was, so he could only admire: "It seems that God is blessing it today. But no matter what, its good luck has run out, and it is ready to engage in a battle to seize the ship. Ye, I leave everything to you."  "Yes." Ye Feihuan nodded. He has nearly 300 Rangers under his command. If more sailors are mobilized, this number can be temporarily increased to 500.  Under such fierce artillery fire, more than half of the casualties on the other side's ship must have been dead. He could seize the ship no matter what. He just hoped that the dog officer would never run away.  But neither he nor Alfonso knew one thing. Originally, there were 500 Zhejiang soldiers in Yizhou. However, before the war, Zhang Ruolan, in order to worry about her husband's accident, deployed 300 Zhejiang soldiers on this ship that combined the advantages of a treasure ship and a Western ship.  on the flagship.  In other words, what this boarding force has to face is a counterattack by 300 Zhejiang soldiers equipped with fast guns.  Behind Alfonso¡¯s fleet, the East India Company squadron, which had already disappeared, was like a shining dagger, aimed at the rear of the Spanish fleet.  Christine looked firm and issued an order: "We have successfully circled behind the enemy. Now our fleet should be tied with the Spaniards from the front. Let us give him a fatal blow from behind. I order, move forward at full speed."  , destroy any Spanish warship you can see, don¡¯t take prisoners, remember, don¡¯t take prisoners.¡± (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
