Daming One Piece

Chapter 204 Surrender! (First update, please subscribe)
Finished!

The frenzied influx of seawater completely exceeded the limit of emergency repairs, but in just one or two minutes, the seawater had already swallowed the cabin at the bottom.

The ship is sinking!

Not even a chance to fight back!
The scene in front of them made Valdes and others dumbfounded. They never thought that the naval battle would be so quick. How long did it take them from the beginning of the war to now?
In less than half an hour, they had already lost a warship.As for the first "Hulian" to be beaten, it seems that the situation is not much better, and it is estimated that it will sink sooner or later.

"Damn it, these devils, they must have signed a contract with the devil!"

Wades cursed in horror.

He never thought that a naval battle could be fought like this, let alone that the losses in a naval battle would be so great.

"God bless, let those damn heretics die!"

While Wades was cursing like this, he saw the Chinese column approaching him.

Because of the wind speed, the speeds of both sides were very slow, and Wades kept praying in his heart, and he prayed that the Heavenly Father would bless him in the next battle.

In the sound of his prayer, the cannon rang, and the 36 cannons on the port side fired continuously. Because the distance was so close, Valdes could even see how the shells penetrated the Chinese warships and smashed the Chinese warships. Body.

"Your Excellency, at least twenty shells hit the Chinese warship!"

When the congratulations sounded, a feeling of uneasiness surged in Wades' heart. He knew that... he had now become an unarmed guy.

"Quick, quick, reload now!"

While the Spaniards were desperately loading their cannonballs, the Ming army, who were getting closer, adjusted the shooting range, and the distance between them became even closer.

Boom, boom...

The sound of the cannon sounded, and the thirteen cannons on the starboard side accurately smashed the shells on the side of the "San Juan". The grape shells the size of fists easily tore apart its side deck, making holes the size of watermelons. , Hundreds of grape shells played a terrible storm on the deck and in the cabin.

Still, it all seems bearable.

"Quick, bring the planks and nail the leak."

"Canvas, cloth, block with cloth..."

Just when the Spaniards were desperately trying to block the water inlet, the artillery fire from the next warship struck, and with a round of fierce artillery fire, another hole was blasted out of the bulkhead, and the sailors who were trying to rescue fell down. A large piece was downloaded.As the seawater poured into the cabin, the seawater in the cabin turned red.

"Damn it! So it's like this..."

Wades yelled in astonishment.

"Quick, quick, spread out immediately, spread out..."

As a naval commander with 20 years of military experience, Wades immediately realized the danger. What he faced was not one warship, but twelve warships. These twelve warships did not consider other people at all. Just focus on the nearest ship. After a dozen rounds of intensive artillery fire, even if the enemy ship does not sink, its combat effectiveness will be halved.

"Damn, these cunning Chinese..."

Even if Wardes reacted, his reaction was exhausted—he had no way to give an order at all, and the semaphore command of this era has not yet been invented.

In this era when correspondents rely on roaring, Wades's order could not reach the other three warships at all, and even he himself had no chance to escape-the wind speed was too slow, and he had no chance even if he wanted to leave the battlefield.

I could only stand helplessly being beaten—for the next time, I could only watch helplessly as more than a dozen warships smashed shells on the "San Juan" like a warship, one after another Not only did it smash holes of various sizes in its bulkheads, but the casualties of the sailors were even more fatal. Not only were more than half of the artillery shells casualties, but even more than half of the infantrymen who were preparing to join the ship were killed and injured. The deck was full of blood. Soldier screaming again and again.

"Father, have you just abandoned your people?"

Wades prayed silently in his heart, his eyes were full of despair!
In desperation, he saw that the "Culian" in the distance was already teetering, it was already seriously tilted, and it was about to sink into the sea. On the surface of the sea, there were drowning sailors everywhere, even his own. The flagship has also poured in a large amount of seawater.

"My Heavenly Father..."

it is finally over……

When the last warship sailed towards the rear, Wades finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the sound of guns had already been heard from behind him.

Although when the Chinese warship passed by, he could see bullet holes of different sizes on the other side's warship and the canvas, but their condition was still good, but what about his side?
Finished!

"Retreat! Retreat now..."

Wades said loudly.

"Withdraw to Manila!"

But in fact, Wades is already in a situation where there is no way to escape, his warship is too slow, not to mention that the Galen ship can't outrun the schooner in North Harbor, even the sea water in the cabin is enough to slow it down.

Just when Valdes was slowly trying to escape from the battlefield, the other three Spanish warships ushered in their bad luck. Just like what happened to the other three ships, they also encountered unprecedented violent shelling. A small warship with a smaller tonnage was even bombarded to disintegrate on the spot-after the keel broke, the ship disintegrated quickly.

This is an overwhelming naval battle!

It was a crush!
It's not just a technical crush!
It is also about gunnery and training.

Even the Beigang fleet has only just been formed, but in fact it is not much different from the Spaniards' fleet. After all, there is no professional navy in the sea in this era. It was just a young man brought in temporarily, but Beigang had conducted strict pre-war training before that, and it was still live ammunition.

Faced with such an ending, it was completely unexpected. The remaining three Spanish warships saw that the situation was not good, so they still wanted to fight. They all tried to sail away, but it was a pity that they could not beat the Chinese. Even the speed is far behind the opponent.

Wades, who was in no hurry to escape, saw that the Ming army had adjusted its course and was chasing after him. Seeing that there was no way to escape, he hesitated for a moment, and then ordered decisively.

"Raise the white flag!"

Losing three warships, three suffered heavy damage, and then surrendered. This is not a shame. Even if Madrid got the news, they couldn't blame them for anything?
"Gentlemen, thank you for your heroic battle, but our opponent is too strong, damn it, as the heavenly father can testify, each of us is heroic..."

When the time came, Wades didn't forget to cheer himself up.
