Chapter 340 These warships are not the same

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback when he heard the words, then reacted, and said in surprise:

"But that hell cannon!?"

"Exactly!" Shen Lian nodded.

"Great!"

Before Zheng Zhilong could speak, Lu Jiang clapped his hands and applauded.

Among the people present, no one knows the power of the hell cannon better than him.

"It's at least five or six days' journey from Dagupan to here, but we only have enough food for two days." Conley didn't know what a hell cannon was, he only knew that he would run out of food soon.

"Now that the trenches are almost filled, how about dismissing these puppet troops?" Zheng Zhibao suggested.

"If you dismiss them, you can only free up one day's rations, and you have to worry about them making trouble in the backcourt. How about this, isn't there a mountain in the east? Take them into the mountain to find food, and you can fill your stomach more or less."

"If it's really not possible, that's the only way to go. Anyway, just get through these few days."

Several people discussed the countermeasures and ordered to retreat a few miles.

Olaza in the city is happy.

Zheng Zhilong?

Overlord of the sea?

What kind of cow?

Otherwise, I will return home in Manila without a feather! ?

Olaza handed the binoculars to his subordinates, hummed a tune and walked down the city wall.

At this moment, he was completely relieved, and felt that Mingren's means were nothing more than that, and Manila was completely stable now.

Thinking of the fear, panic, and depression these days, Olaza breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the relationship with Daming has been messed up, at least Manila can be kept, and it is not the worst result.

However, I should not be able to keep my position as governor.

Thinking of this, Olaza sighed again, a strong sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

For the next two days, everything was calm.Conley took people into the mountains and found a lot of food in the mountains. Although it was not enough for everyone to eat with all their might, it still had some effect.

As for Olazar, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Except for the fact that the fleet sent to intercept the opponent's supply line did not send back news, which made him a little worried, the situation was fairly stable all day long.

At noon when Olaza was preparing to have lunch, an officer ran in in a panic.

"Governor! It's not good! A fleet suddenly appeared ten miles away from Corregidor Island and sank our two patrol ships! It looks like it's going to attack Corregidor Island!"

"What!" Olaza suddenly stood up! "Is it Zheng Zhilong's fleet!?"

"According to those who escaped, it is a fleet that has never been seen before!"

"How many ships?"

"Seven."

"How much!?" Olaza thought he heard it wrong.

"Seven ships!"

"Do you think I look stupid? Seven ships dare to attack Corregidor Island?"

Olaza is going to get angry when he stares, isn't that nonsense?There are nearly [-] warships in the entire Manila Bay, and they occupy the advantage of the terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Didn't you see that Zheng Zhilong took a detour to attack Manila by land?

Seven warships attacked Corregidor Island, even a fool would not believe it!

"It's absolutely true! My subordinates didn't believe it at first, but after sending ships to investigate, they found that there were only seven warships on the other side! All the soldiers who went there said so!" The officer who reported the letter swore. "And from what they said, these warships are different."

"Why is it different?"

"Although there are not many warships in this fleet, the shape looks extremely exaggerated, and the firepower is extremely fierce! Our patrolling warship was sunk before approaching within five miles!"

Seeing what the soldier said with certainty, Olaza couldn't help but not believe it.

He murmured in his heart, seven warships went to Manila Bay to show off their power, what kind of operation is this?

And it wasn't Zheng Zhilong's boat?

"Is it a Dutch warship?"

"no!"

Which side is that?Olaza fell into deep thought again.

wrong!Just want to have a fart!

"The order continues. If the other party continues to provoke, send fifty warships to meet it. That's right! It's best to leave a few alive and see which side it is."

"Yes! Lord Governor!"

In his opinion, there are only two possibilities for these warships to appear here.

One is Zheng Zhilong's disguised fleet, intended to harass their rear, so as to seize the opportunity to capture Manila.But the two parties have completely torn their faces apart at this time, and there is no need to do so.

Another possibility is that another powerful force, seeing their war is raging, wants to take the opportunity to come and gain some benefits.

After much deliberation, the second option is more likely.

Thinking of this, Olaza sneered.

The battle between himself and Zheng Zhilong seemed to be a little bit of a disadvantage on the surface, but someone was eager to jump out and want to make trouble.After repelling Zheng Zhilong, he must clean up all the guys around him!

Olaza's imagination is in place, if it is a normal battle, it will indeed be within the range of his guess.

But the problem is that the appearance of Xie Xuelong is not normal at all, or the Blue Star First Fleet is not normal.At this time, Xie Xuelong was patrolling quietly ten miles west of Corregidor Island.

"Master, will the red-haired ghost send a boat out?" Lu Shiyan, the captain of the "Shuntian", asked softly standing beside Xie Xuelong.

"I guess it will. If you sink two of their patrol boats in a row, wouldn't you be a coward if you don't come out?"

"Haha! What the supervisor said is very true! Then let's wait."

"Wait another quarter of an hour. If they don't come out after two quarters of an hour, we will attack directly."

Xie Xuelong is a cautious character, Manila Bay has a lot of defense forces, even though he is very confident in the few warships he leads, he doesn't plan to plunge into it head-on.What I'm afraid of is that no matter how fierce the firepower is, it won't be able to exert its due power in a tight siege.

Facts proved that Olaza's subordinates were not cowards. In less than a quarter of an hour, a fleet of more than a dozen large and small warships sailed out of Manila Bay.

"Report! Fifty warships are heading towards us in the southeast direction!"

The soldiers in charge of the lookout reported loudly, and all the soldiers on board became energetic.

"The red-haired ghost thinks highly of us." Xie Xuelong chuckled and glanced at Lu Shixuan.

"Get ready to fight! The target is east-south to the fleet!" Lu Shiyan understood, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to give orders.

Soldiers on several battleships were completely accustomed to this fighting style, visually measuring the distance to the enemy, aiming, and firing.

There is no need to be close to the enemy, and there will be no boarding battles, and of course, there will be no danger to life.

Where can I find such a good job?

Almost at the same time, the gunfire of the seven battleships roared at the same time, and the shells roared towards the Spanish fleet.

boom!

The hit warship roared, followed by the flames of the explosion.

As warships were gathered one after another, the Spaniards out of the bay panicked.

They couldn't understand why the opponent's artillery could fire at such a long distance and hit the target! ?

Naturally, there will be no answer to the question, because the 305mm main guns on several warships have a range of more than 7000 meters, and the less powerful 105mm secondary guns have a range of more than [-] meters.

Who dares to think?
