Chapter 1232

If it is said that one shot hits, it can be regarded as shit luck; then if two shots hit, it is barely lucky; but now, two warships of the Ming army sank one ship after two rounds of bombardment. It can also be said that it was shit luck to kill the Dutch battleship, so this shit luck is really good!

In this short period of time, the second warship of the Dutch fleet was getting closer and closer to the warship of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and the warship of the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to meet it.

Governor Kun of Batavia was watching. This time, the Dutch battleship fired before the firing distance he estimated in his mind.Or maybe they think that the Ming army must have been lucky, and maybe they can too.

However, Kun could see clearly that those shells were for nothing.Just like bad luck, every shell, without exception, accurately avoided the target and fell into the sea to smash the fish.

At the same time, the three warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy that went up to them fired "boom boom boom", and then, by luck again, the Dutch warship was like a magnet, correcting the Ming Dynasty Navy's weakness. The direction of the iron bullet hit all parts of the warship.

For this sake, even an idiot knows that the artillery of the Ming army has such a high hit rate, it is definitely not luck, but better than theirs!
This time, the remaining three Dutch fleets panicked.Facing the overwhelming Ming army naval warships, if they rushed past, they would definitely end up the same as the previous two ships.There was no need to choose, and without waiting for Kun's order, the captains of each ship ordered to turn the rudder, turn the rudder, and then turn the rudder.At this time, they only had one thought, to escape far away, far away from these warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

However, the naval warships of the Ming Dynasty came around in a semicircle, just like casting a net.If you don't want to be caught by this net, you can only run into Manila Bay.

In fact, the actual battle situation is indeed like this.Whether it was the remaining three Dutch warships or those indigenous ships, they had no choice but to swarm into Manila Bay in the face of the Ming Dynasty Navy warships overwhelmingly coming from the open sea.

The navy of the Ming army was not in a hurry, but just maintained its formation and slowly pressed over.

Drive the sheep into the pen!

In Manila Bay, fighting has already begun at this time.

On the flagship of the Dutch fleet, Admiral Anthony, in high spirits, commanded the coalition forces to launch an active attack on the "dying" Deming navy warship.

Liu Xiang's arsonist boat broke away from the fleet and rammed into the warship of the Ming Navy; similarly, the arsonist boat is also Zheng Zhilong's good tactic, and he also sent small boats to the Dutch fleet. Arson, they have already fought each other.

Logically speaking, the Ming army is obviously at a disadvantage, and the morale of the Ming army sailors should be low.However, I don't know if Zheng Yiguan's ability is really powerful, but the morale of the Ming army sailors is much higher than that of the pirates.

As they approached, the soldiers of the Ming army shouted, "Jump into the sea and don't kill!"

"You worked your life for Xiyi, and your ancestors don't recognize it?"

"You are surrounded, jump into the sea and surrender as soon as possible!"

"With blood on your hands, it's too late. It's still too late to jump into the sea!"

"..."

Whether it was the soldiers of the Ming army or the pirates under Liu Xiang, most of them were from Fujian and Guangdong, and they could understand what they were shouting.

Some pirates obviously hesitated when they heard it, while some pirates snorted when they heard it, and shouted in response: "You jump into the sea, and we won't kill you!"

"Cheat ghosts, look at our many warships, you are dead!"

"..."

Both sides shouted words, but their hands were not slow.Generally speaking, these arson boats are just hiding firelighters, and when they rush up, they ignite and jump into the sea.

However, these pirates obviously did not expect that the arsonist ship of the official army was equipped with a tiger squatting cannon. Into a piece, rushing toward the face.Those officers and soldiers then abandoned the tiger squatting guns and jumped over to fight.

Seeing this situation from behind, Liu Xiang cursed angrily: "Zheng Yiguan, a prodigal son, even equipped a tiger crouching cannon on the arson boat. What a f*cking prodigal, shameless?"

Although he was cursing, he was very envious in his heart.Only by relying on the imperial court can one be so rich and powerful!It is even possible to equip a tiger crouching cannon on a one-time arson ship.You know, the arson ship never returns, and this tiger crouching cannon will definitely sink in the sea.

Although there are many ships here, the arsonist boats obviously tended to lose to the official arsonist boats just after the battle.Liu Xiang shouted immediately, and then ordered to send smaller warships to stop the Ming army's arson boat.

Anthony, who was not far away, also saw the arsonist ship fighting, and cursed secretly, and then ordered his Dutch fleet to go up, avoid the arsonist ship, and bombard the Ming navy's main formation with the advantage of artillery.

After giving this order, he sneered and said, "The counterattack regardless of the cost shows that these oriental monkeys already know that they are in a desperate situation. Hehe, I will definitely let you have more time to taste the taste of despair!"

While talking, he turned his head and looked back, and he could already see an indigenous troop carrier sailing into Manila Bay.

Seeing this, Anthony issued another order to separate a part of the fleet to bombard the naval warships of the Ming army moored in the port.He didn't need to command any more. His subordinates knew their own advantages, so they took advantage of the artillery and pressed down on the warships of the Ming army to fight.

The entire Manila Bay is really lively like never before.

The dark Dutch fleet slowly approached the Ming warship.The warships on both sides met each other on the side of the ship, revealing the black muzzle, ready to exchange fire.

Liang Xiaozhen is in the fleet, he is the third leader, and there are about [-] ships under his command.But his subordinates didn't understand, why didn't the head of the family let them attack?It stands to reason that to secretly preserve strength is mostly when there is a stalemate or an unfavorable situation.But now, there are more warships than the official army, and the Dutch fleet is more powerful than the official army. At this time, why not go up to claim credit?Didn't you see that the other masters were very enthusiastic!

Is it because the arson ship is not good at fighting?But the head of the family didn't even send out the arson boat, so when the head of the family investigates this matter later, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it?
They were thinking about it, but the third leader raised a banner to them and asked the captain to go to his flagship.

When is it now, and the captain is even allowed to go there, can't you say something in advance?The captains didn't understand, but when the third master spoke, they didn't dare not listen, so they hurried to see Liang Xiaozhen.

On the Dutch fleet, Anthony watched his fleet press past and would soon be within the range of the battle, so he was relieved, snapped his fingers to his guards, and ordered: "Coffee!"

The military order has been laid out, and our own side has the advantage of fighting more and fighting less, and has the advantage of ships and guns. If we still can't win this battle, then we can really go home to grow sweet potatoes (drive a carriage).

The rest of the time is to appreciate the destruction of the Ming navy, blast a way for the indigenous infantry to go ashore, and then capture Manila, that's all!
"General, coffee is here!"

Anthony listened and reached for the coffee.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the continuous sound of "boom boom boom" was heard. Obviously, the warships began to exchange fire.

He was a little surprised, because before he turned his head to pick up the coffee just now, he clearly remembered that it would take a while before he could reach the effective range. How could there be an exchange of fire in such an instant when he turned his head?Could it be that the Ming army couldn't hold back and fired first?Hehe, if this is the case, the navy of the Ming army is weaker than I imagined, then this battle will end sooner!

Anthony thought so, subconsciously looked up.But he found that things were indeed as he expected. It was the navy of the Ming army who fired. At that time, the key point was that the two warships under his command were hit by multiple iron bullets.How is this going?

At this time, his hand happened to touch the coffee cup, and he lost his grip on one of them. The coffee cup fell down and shattered with a "snap". The coffee didn't enter his stomach, and spilled all over the deck.

However, at this time, Anthony was no longer in the mood to care about the coffee. He looked up at the port and found that other naval warships of the Ming Dynasty were also firing. Although many shells were empty and fell into the sea, every When a warship fires, some will always hit the target.And the warships under his command were already rescuing the ships before they had time to fire.

This... what's going on here?

Anthony looked at all this, it was beyond his expectation, for a moment, he was a little confused!
You know, in their impression, the best artillery of the Ming army is called the Hongyi cannon, and the Dutch are that Hongyi.That is to say, the artillery of the Ming army was just an imitation of them.In their consciousness, it is impossible for the artillery of the Ming army to be more powerful than theirs!

And on Liang Xiaozhen's flagship, at this time, his captains had already rushed to his ship, surrounding him to ask what was going on.

Liang Xiaozhen glanced around them, and asked loudly: "I can tell you a piece of news. At this time, outside Manila Bay, the Imperial Navy has more than 200 warships, including a hundred or so sailing warships, which have been blocked. Manila Bay. The imperial court will win this battle."

Hearing this, his subordinates were immediately dumbfounded.Why does it sound like talking in a dream!
"Master, this is impossible, how could the court have so many warships. We checked in advance, isn't there only a hundred or so warships here?"

"Master, how do you know what's going on outside Manila Bay?"

"Master, how much is this?"

"..."

Liang Xiaozhen knew that her subordinates would question her, and when he was about to speak, he heard the continuous sound of "boom boom boom", which interrupted his speech for a while.Everyone turned their heads to look, but they were stunned to find that the Dutch fleet, which they thought was the most powerful, had been bombarded by the warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy and had no power to fight back.

This... what's going on here?

Liang Xiaozhen smiled happily when she saw this, and said, "See, the strength of the imperial court is beyond what you can imagine!"

When his subordinates heard him speak, they turned around and looked at him in surprise. They were a little confused and couldn't figure it out. What's going on?

"Okay, listen up, let me tell you the truth!" Liang Xiaozhen glanced at them and said solemnly, "Actually, I'm an undercover agent!"

"..." All his subordinates were still stupefied when they heard a crow fly over their foreheads.

Seeing them standing there stupidly, Liang Xiaozhen had no choice but to explain in detail: "Actually, I am a secret agent of Jinyiwei. What I just said is true. The court will win this battle! You have followed me for many years, and this time I will give you a meritorious service." opportunity, otherwise there will be no shop after passing this village!"

At this point, he felt that he had explained enough, then his face turned cold, and his voice raised a lot: "Whoever is willing to follow my brother, don't talk nonsense, raise your hand!"

As far as he is staring at people, none of his subordinates can bear it. Believe it or not, as long as they don't agree, they will definitely not be able to get off this boat.

Seeing that all her subordinates raised their hands, Liang Xiaozhen immediately gave the order, preparing to take this last chance to make a contribution.

After being stunned for a long time, Anthony finally came back to his senses. He turned his head to see more and more ships coming in from the mouth of Manila Bay. He made a decision and immediately issued a flag to order all ships, including the Dutch fleet All the warships of the Liu Xiang Pirate Group were pressed up, and they fought more and less, and they got closer to fight.Only in this way can the advantage of the naval artillery of the Ming Dynasty be offset.

This way of playing, the loss will definitely be relatively large.However, whoever gave the Ming navy's artillery an advantage, long-range shooting is nothing more than wasting one's own warships.

After this order, Liu Xiang hesitated.The foundation for him to settle down in Nanyang is the ships in his hand.If he rushes up like this, he doesn't know anything else, and it is certain that his ships will suffer a lot of losses.

Thinking of this, he dawdled.

However, why did Anthony not want to reduce the loss of his warships.Therefore, these sailing warships of his supported Liu Xiang's fleet, and used their strong ships and sharp guns to force Liu Xiang's ship to go up first.

This shameless behavior of the Dutch made Liu Xiang yell and curse.However, he has no way to resist, because the Dutchman is his master.

Anthony watched Liu Xiang's fleet finally being forced by himself to rush towards the navy of the Ming army, and couldn't help but smile smugly.

At this moment, the lookout post suddenly shouted: "Your Excellency, the situation over there seems to be wrong!"

Anthony heard the sound, and sure enough, there were densely packed indigenous boats at the mouth of Manila Bay, all of which were frantically driving in.

Logically speaking, this is nothing.That was the plan, to let the indigenous ships come in to prepare to land and seize Manila.But the crux of the problem is how those native ships rushed in.Even if there are gold mountains and silver mountains to grab, there is no need to be like this.Many boats collided with each other, and many people fell into the water.Judging from their appearance, it seems more like there is a tiger chasing after them, and they are scrambling to escape for their lives!
But how is this possible?It doesn't make sense!Anthony couldn't understand it!
