Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Before Zheng Zhilong could answer, a soldier hurried over and asked after saluting, "My lord, the ships have sent messages, are they going to land and fight?"

At this time, there were not many Spanish warships on the sea, but a large number of planks and broken sails floating, and a large number of Spanish navy struggling to survive in the water, and the few remaining Spanish warships also began to retreat towards the port.

Zheng Zhilong sneered, and ordered: "Order the ships to advance mile by mile, shelling one round per mile, and do not stop without the order of the governor!"

The messenger hurried down to deliver Zheng Zhilong's order, while Zhao Qing asked curiously, "Why aren't you going to land?"

Zheng Zhilong said: "What's the hurry? Since those barbarians are ready to fight against Daming, they must have anti-aircraft guns on the coast, and if they land in a hurry, they will only increase casualties. confessed.

Now bombard them first, get closer to the test a little bit, and destroy the coastal defense artillery of those barbarians first! "

Zhao Qing really didn't know much about military affairs, so he nodded when he heard the words, and said nothing more.

Sanchez on the shore held up his binoculars and murmured, "What kind of army is this!"

Just as he was sighing, Sanchez's adjutant, Acuña, hurried over and saluted: "Your Excellency, the casualties on the shore are too high now, do you want to use the coastal defense artillery?"

Sanchez glanced back at Acuña and said, "You don't know the consequences of using coastal defense guns now? Bring those barbarians closer first before fighting!"

Of course, Acuña knows what the consequences of using the coastal defense guns will be now-those barbarian warships will immediately concentrate their firepower on the coastal defense guns, and then the protection force of the entire Luzon port will be completely declared over.

But if the coastal defense guns are not used now, if those barbarian warships continue to bombard them like this, they will still be ruined. Even if a few guns are lucky enough to escape the fate of being bombarded, how effective will they be?

Chapter 532 Here comes the big deal!

Acuña hurried out to convey Sanchez's order.

At this time, the quality of the lower-level Spanish officers is indeed very good, and they can also be called the number one army in Europe, whether it is the navy or the army.

After receiving Sanchez's order, these low-level officers still carried out Sanchez's order even though they knew that there would be heavy casualties, and even today many people would die quietly.

If the ammunition of Zheng Zhilong's fleet was not so sufficient, if Zheng Zhilong hadn't ordered to cover every mile of advance, Sanchez's order would indeed be useful. At least the surviving coastal defense guns would pose a huge threat and casualties to the Ming South Sea Fleet.

Because the caliber and double diameter of the coastal defense guns are ferocious enough, and the firepower is also ferocious enough, as long as a shell falls on the battleship, it will be a huge hole.

At least Zheng Zhilong's current judgment is that the Franji barbarians must have coastal defense guns, and they will pose a huge threat to the fleet-even if his men are all new-style blessing ships, he dare not say that he can resist the coastal defense guns without injury.

But Zheng Zhilong made a mistake in his estimation.

Zheng Zhilong compared Spain's coastal defense artillery with Daming's coastal defense artillery and came to the conclusion that the coastal defense artillery is terrible, so it will continue to cover firepower.

But the actual situation is that during the ten years since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the coastal defense artillery of Ming Dynasty will be replaced every two or three years. Cannon laughed loudly at the opponent's five scumbags, and its power was naturally not the same.

As for the artillery shells and supplies fired by the non-stop fire coverage, Zheng Zhilong is not too worried. After all, in addition to the 24 main battle-type warships in the entire fleet, there are also eight Fuchuan that are fully loaded. of ammunition.

As long as all the 24 warships do not use up all the ammunition in stock at one time, they can realize the rotation of replenishment and rotation of fire, so as to achieve the effect of seamless firepower coverage.

Therefore, Sanchez should have been very likely to succeed and gave the South China Sea Fleet an order to inflict heavy damage. The final result was only to pit the Spanish army in charge of coastal defense.

Because in order to ensure the firepower, the size and weight of the coastal defense artillery are obvious there. It is very difficult to move, and some of them are simply fixed and cannot be moved for the sake of firmness.

Finally, a shell fired from the Fuchuan kissed a shell of a Spanish coastal defense artillery with a sharp whistling sound.

The cannonballs of the two powerful countries of the East and the West kiss together, just like dry wood meets fire, and pheasant meets hooligans.

After a loud bang, there was a soaring flame, and then the sound and flame of nearby shells.

He spit out the sand in his mouth with a "bah", and shook his head that was still a little dazed because of the huge shock caused by the explosion of the shell. Diego Velasquez shouted angrily Said: "Tell the governor, we want to retreat! This is not holding on, this is sending to death!"

But no one around responded to Velasquez's order at all. In a rage, Velasquez repeated his order loudly again.

However, the only response to him was the sharp whistling and explosions brought by the seemingly endless firepower of the Ming fleet.

Shaking his head again, Velasquez realized that the surrounding situation was very strange.

Only I was sitting up, and the others didn't react at all, as if they were all dead.

Velazquez's head is still a little dazed, but the habit he has developed on the battlefield for a long time still makes him reach out and pick it up. What if there is something alive?

The saying that one more person equals more strength is universal in many cases. Whether in the East or the West, there are many people who understand this truth, and Velasquez is one of them.

He kept digging and digging, even if his fingers were about to bleed, Velasquez couldn't dig out a few people.

Even the five that were dug out were basically shocked into fools by the huge explosion.

Sitting slumped on the ground, Velasquez didn't even care about the most important image in his daily life.

I have never been so aggrieved before, before seeing the shadow of the enemy, my own troops have completely collapsed.

Even when the Dutchmen fought for independence, although Spain suffered a defeat, it was not like it is today.

This is no longer a failure that can be described. The exact statement should be that the power of Satan has come to the world-this should be a destruction that can only be stopped by God, not what the Spanish soldiers can do.

In the current situation, is there any need to ask the Governor whether to evacuate or not?It is estimated that there are only a few people left in the entire coastal defense position. Apart from myself, there are a few idiots, who to guard against?

A smile uglier than crying appeared on his face, and Velasquez pulled out a pistol from his body.

This hand gun bought from the Dutch is really a good thing. Although the firing method is relatively primitive and the fire rope needs to be lit, it is enough to kill a person at close range.

I have always liked this hand system, although I have never used it to kill others, but it is not bad to use it to end my own life now?

Velazquez, who was slumped on the ground, no longer thought about other problems. After trembling and lighting the match, he pointed the muzzle at his temple.

The fire rope was left a little long, so that I would have enough time to pray, ask God to forgive my cowardly behavior, and have time to say goodbye to my family silently.

Farewell, my dear wife, De Silva next door has been coveting you for a long time, and it seems that you will not suffer if you follow him.

Farewell, my dear daughter, I hope you will not take another soldier for your husband.

Farewell, my son who can't speak, I hope you won't be a soldier in the future, and don't come to the Far East when you're a soldier, it's too fucking scary.

Acuña, who was assigned by Sanchez after the violent explosion, rushed to the position of the coastal defense artillery again, and rescued the dying Velasquez just before the match was burned out: "God, what are you doing? "

Velasquez didn't appreciate Acuña's action of saving him, even if Acuña fell over and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen for a moment.

Velasquez, who seemed to have been drained of energy, looked around the coastal defense position before saying, "As you can see, I intend to end my life to meet God, and I cannot bear the reputation of being a loser." Go on living."

Acuña said in surprise: "God told us that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and should be properly maintained. If you end your life, you will not be received by God."

After a sneer, Velasquez didn't pay attention to Acuña's words at all, but he didn't have the courage to raise the pistol again, and just buried his head deeply between his knees.

Acuña continued: "The governor ordered the coastal defense artillery to fire back, but judging by the current situation, there is probably no hope?"

Velazquez suddenly fell into a rage: "Let the damned governor fire his own guns and fight back! More than 1000 people are all dead, let him fire the guns himself! Assuming there are still cannons that have not been destroyed!"

Acuña was not blind, and naturally saw the situation of the coastal defense position. He just took a deep breath at the moment, ignored Velasquez who had already collapsed, and went back to report to Sanchez.

Velazquez has been abolished, his courage has been knocked out, and the coastal defense position has been declared non-existent and hopeless.
