Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 743
After hearing this, Anthony just nodded, his face still a little stern.Obviously, he and West, who arrived in Manila earlier, should have different ideas.

When the Spaniard saw him like this, he guessed the reason, and comforted Anthony and said: "With the reinforcements from your Excellency the Governor, our two warships totaled almost a hundred, and we can definitely defeat the Ming Dynasty's fleet at sea. What a waste! Their so-called lucky boats are simply incomparable to our sailboats..."

Hearing him speaking in his ear, Anthony retracted his distant gaze, turned to look at him and said: "The Ming Empire in the Far East is different from other Far Eastern natives, although their ships are more suitable for transporting goods by sea, and are not good at fighting. . However, this is their offshore area, and this attack on Luzon will definitely not be a trivial matter!"

Hearing this, the Spaniard swallowed his saliva, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he heard Anthony say in a heavy tone: "What's more, the Portuguese have colluded with the Ming Dynasty. The strength of our enemy, You must not underestimate it!”

Seeing his repeated emphasis, the Spaniard had no choice but to echo: "That is, they must have strength, but this is Luzon, and it is not easy for them to come from Annan. Be afraid of them!"

Anthony listened, but this time he nodded and said: "Naval warfare is our advantage, and because of this, I sent ten warships to Manila to meet you first, to ensure that this advantage will not be lost. In addition, this time I personally led the army and came here in a hurry. I should be able to arrive before the Ming army attacked Manila. After strengthening the strength of the fleet, I can rest assured. If we can’t defeat the Ming army, then there will be no place for us in Nanyang .”

The Spaniard always felt that Anthony's attitude was a bit pessimistic, so he didn't take it seriously. He immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, the Governor. The Ming Dynasty's lucky ships must not be able to go to sea due to the previous storms. Now this Not long after the wind and waves stopped, the Ming army was worried and had to confirm before going out to sea. I guess they may still be in Hoi An, and it is still early to reach Luzon!"

"Yes, this time is really blessed by God!" Anthony nodded and said, "The wind and waves have been a bit strong before, which restricted the Ming army from going out to sea. When they confirm that the weather is calm before going out to sea, we have already arrived in Manila."

"That's for sure!" After hearing this, the Spaniard pointed in the direction of Manila with confidence and said with a smile, "More forward..."

When he said this, he suddenly couldn't continue, as if his throat was grabbed by someone and he couldn't speak.

Anthony heard something strange, so he turned to look in the direction of his gaze.But they saw rows of ships sailing out from the side of Lubang Island on the sea in the distance and coming towards them.

This distance is actually not that far, and you can see at a glance what the ships in front are.

After being stuck for a while, the Spaniard finally spoke again, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's time for our Governor to be worried and send a warship to pick us up!"

He certainly had a basis for saying this, because all those ships were sailing ships, and they were also flying Spanish flags.

Anthony also heaved a sigh of relief. The first time he saw it just now, he was subconsciously taken aback, thinking that he was ambushed by the Ming fleet.

"Your Excellency Governor is a little bit overwhelmed!" Anthony smiled and said to the Spaniard when he came back to his senses, "The most important thing now is the defense of Manila. As for me, the Ming army probably didn't even think about it." With the appearance of our fleet, there is nothing to worry about!"

The Spaniard also thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he couldn't say so. He smiled and said to Anthony: "You are guests from afar, and this is your first time working together. Besides, it's actually not far away from Manila. It’s not very far, so there’s nothing wrong with welcoming the Governor. Maybe our Governor is there…”

When he said this, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Anthony's face. It was not the relaxed and happy one just now, but the cold one with a little nervousness.

So, he subconsciously turned around and looked back, and said at the same time: "Your Excellency, what's wrong, it's impossible to think that these are the fleet of the Ming Kingdom..."

"They're in a battle formation!" Before he could finish speaking, Anthony interrupted loudly, "This is very wrong, they can't possibly think that we are the Ming fleet!"

If this is an out-and-out Spanish conspiracy, and their intention is just to defeat the Dutch fleet in Nanyang and dominate Nanyang, it seems unreliable!
For a moment, he couldn't understand why the oncoming fleet had to put up a battle formation?Impossible, is it because of habit?
The Spaniard couldn't understand it either, but the fleet was indeed in a battle formation, so he explained in embarrassment: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, or..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw many more boats turning out on the other side of Lubang Island, and they followed the boat in front and headed this way.

"Fortunate ship?" Before he could speak, Anthony had already shouted.

Fu Chuan is an oriental ship type and was basically owned by the Ming Dynasty.With so many lucky ships, they can only belong to the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as this idea came up, the sailboats that were already very close to them lowered the Spanish flag and raised another flag.

"Portugal!" Anthony was startled when he saw it, his face was livid, and he quickly turned his head and shouted: "Ready for battle, prepare for battle..."

At this time, he no longer had time to think about why the coalition forces of the Ming army and Portugal appeared here. He was already very nervous thinking about how to fight this war.

So unexpected that they lost their head start.The entire fleet is still sailing in column mode, coupled with their invincibility in the South China Sea, they have relaxed their vigilance and are not ready to fight at any time.

The sudden battle alarm made the Dutch confused.While preparing for battle, many Dutch scolded the Portuguese for being treacherous, and even pretended to be a Spanish warship and approached them in advance. It was really shameless!

Fortunately, the Portuguese only had about twenty warships, while the Dutch had as many as thirty warships. They had an advantage in the number of warships. In addition, before, the Dutch also suppressed the Portuguese, and even Malacca Such an important place as the Strait was taken away from the Portuguese, so they had a great psychological advantage, so they were not very afraid.

Anthony was also unfazed and immediately issued a series of orders, asking the transport ship to move to the seaside first, withdraw from the battle zone, and let the warships set up a battle formation to prepare to seize the lost upper hand position.

But the order was only halfway through when he suddenly stopped again.Both eyes were fixed on the front, and the whole person remained motionless.After a while, he suddenly tore off his hat and shouted sharply, "Get out, get out!"

There was no other way. By now he had truly understood the Portuguese's intentions. He dared not fight again, so he quickly ordered a retreat.

The reason is actually very simple. Behind the Portuguese warships, from the back of Lubang Island, there are continuous warships coming out. Now there are more than 100 ships that can be seen as far as the eyes can see. They are still large lucky ships. As for the back It is not clear at all how many lucky boats are still hidden.

In normal times, Anthony would not be afraid.As long as they are on the sea, it doesn't matter how many and big Ming Guofu boats are, they are simply not as fast as their sailboats.

But now, the Portuguese warships are approaching. If they get entangled, they will definitely be overtaken by the Ming Dynasty's Fu Ships. With so many Fu Ships approaching and fighting, the Dutch warships are not made of iron, so how can they fight?
At present, I can only hope that I can turn around and escape quickly, and escape before the Portuguese warship pounces on me!
Insidious, so damn insidious!
However, before Anthony had time to curse, the Portuguese warship, with full sail, was already approaching the Dutch warship.

On the Portuguese flagship, Anders excitedly ordered and emphasized: "Rush up, entangle them, and don't let these Dutch bumpkins escape!"

For a long time, Portugal has been beaten by the Netherlands, which can be said to be very humiliating.Now, with the backing of the Ming Navy, he can finally feel proud and deal with these Dutchmen, how could Anders be unhappy!
Like him, the other Portuguese were also very excited, which allowed them to show their full ability and rushed forward without giving the Dutch a chance to escape from the warship.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery on the side of the ship opened fire, and iron bullets and chain bullets were fired in all directions. When they fell on the water, they threw up water columns. When they hit the ship, sawdust and wood blocks flew everywhere.At the same time, there were screams from the unlucky guy.

If you don't fight back after being beaten, and you are still downwind, even if you can escape, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.What's more, it's not certain whether he can really escape.

As a result, the Dutch fleet was forced to fight back, trying to retreat while fighting.

However, this battle was planned in advance, so how could it be possible for the Dutch to escape.On the flagship of the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck, issued orders in high spirits, and all the warships rushed to the battlefield at the maximum speed.

This battle was the Ming Navy's first battle in Nanyang, and it must be a famous battle!
"kill……"

On Lubang Island, Lu Xiangsheng was on a large rock on the shore, watching this unique battle with a telescope.At this time, in his heart, he was filled with admiration for the news about Emperor Chongzhen.

I didn’t expect that we could really ambush the reinforcements of the Red Yi on Lubang Island. In this way, if we defeat them one by one and prevent the Western Yi from joining together, the war in Nanyang will definitely be much easier!

With the help of Taizu and such sharp weapons, why would the Ming Dynasty not be able to dominate the world!
