Not to mention the Spaniards, even the officers at all levels of the First Fleet from top to bottom couldn't understand it.

How could the imperial court make such a powerful artillery?

This fleet of fifty ships was originally planned to be divided into left and right teams after they came out, to surround Xie Xuelong's fleet from the north and the south, kill a few ships, and then capture one or two ships, and capture a few alive for interrogation. country.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

They are all ready to fight, the shells have been loaded, and they are waiting to kill these lifeless warships after entering the range.Unexpectedly, he was bombarded by the opponent not long after leaving the bay.

Amador, the commander of the fleet, was stunned.

It must be at least ten miles away, right?

Can you play like this?

"My lord! What should we do? The range of the opponent's artillery is too far! Our ships are too dense! We must spread them out!" A captain ran to Amador in a panic and shouted.

"Hurry up! Come down and disperse the ships! Go forward at full speed! Retaliate immediately after entering the range! Damn it! No one will be left alive! All sunk!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

At this time, four or five warships have been hit, and they have begun to sink into the water.Amador's decision was correct. After the fleet dispersed, Xie Xuelong's hit rate plummeted.

Seeing the warship rushing towards us with all its strength, a slightly crazy smile appeared on Xie Xuelong's face.Said to Lu Shiyan, who was watching the battle situation closely.

"Seyoung, do you think their artillery can sink our battleship?"

"It shouldn't be possible!"

"Try?"

"Try!" Lu Shiyan puffed out his chest and agreed without hesitation.He understood what Xie Xuelong meant. Although their artillery had a long range, their hit rate was really not high.Master Xie, a literati, is not afraid of close combat, so what is he afraid of?

"All warships obey the order, suspend artillery fire, and travel to about two miles away from the opponent!"

"Roger that!"

The captains of the ships who received the order were all excited, and the fleet headed in the direction of the Spanish fleet.

"My lord, they stopped firing and rushed over!" an officer said to Amador.

"I see, pass on the order, no matter what their plans are, fire as soon as they enter the range of the artillery!"

"Yes!"

Amador was very angry and decided to show these guys some seriousness.

The two fleets sailed in opposite directions, and soon entered the range of the Spanish warships.The sailors on the warship ignited the fuse without hesitation, and the shells flew towards Xie Xuelong's fleet with a roar.

The sea is not as good as the land. The movement of the ship, coupled with the shaking of the warship, has a great impact on the hit rate of the artillery.Fortunately, they had more ships and more guns, and a few shells hit the warships of the First Fleet.

When, when.

The sound of heavy objects hitting the steel plate came from the hull of the "Suncheon" at the front.

Lu Shizhen, who was a little nervous, froze for a moment, is this the end?

He saw a solution to Xuelong.

"Master, our boat has been shot."

"Understood." Xie Xuelong nodded lightly. "Order the ships to fire freely, without waiting for orders, and aim to wipe out the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Lu Shiyan was speechless.

Are you so calm?

Next, the Spanish fleet fired three rounds of bombardment, but most of them missed. A few hits only hit the hull, and a few hit the deck by luck, but they did not cause any casualties, but caused damage to some facilities.

Soon, the distance between the two sides narrowed to about two miles.

The battleship where Xie Xuelong was on opened fire first, and it was powerful to say the least. A shell directly hit the opponent's warship, opening a big hole in the hull.

Then there was uninterrupted artillery fire, and the warships on the Spanish side were constantly being shot.

At this time, the gap between the two sides has become more and more obvious. As long as the artillery shells of the First Fleet hit an important part of the hull of the Spanish warship, their warship will not be spared.

However, one side in Spain bombarded the iron frame of the Volkswagen First Fleet, leaving only a small depression.

Amador, who was in charge of the command, was beaten.

What monsters created these ships?Long range, powerful, fast, strong defense.Is there no weakness?

Don't say it yet.

For Spanish wooden sailing ships, the First Fleet really has no weaknesses.It can be summed up in two words:

crush.

It is not a level of crushing.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer ships that can operate normally around him, Amador finally reacted.

run!

Run now!

Amador gave the order without hesitation, and took the lead in making the warship turn around and run in the direction of Manila Bay.

Fortunately, it was only four or five miles out of the bay at this time, and I ran back in the blink of an eye.

With this U-turn, he exposed the hull of the ship to the First Fleet, and the target suddenly became larger, and the three warships all stared at the warship where Amador was at at the same time.

Then they fired at the same time, two of the three shells missed and one hit.It directly hit the stern of the ship, and the huge power directly blasted the stern to pieces.Fortunately, Amador was standing on the bow and was not directly killed, but the violent impact knocked him to the ground in an instant.

At this time, he really knew that he was afraid, and cried for his subordinates to save him.

Fortunately, he still had two more loyal subordinates, who pulled him up, ran to the side of the ship, put down a small boat, sent Amador down, and then jumped onto the small boat together, rowing desperately toward Manila Bay go.

Amador sat slumped on the boat, watching the warship he was standing on just now was slowly tilting, his eyes were about to drop.

what happened?

This is the first time he saw a battle like this when he grew up.

The battle would not stop because of Amador's escape. Seeing that the opponent wanted to retreat, the First Fleet pressed even tighter.

The gunfire on the ship continued to roar, and the ships of the Spanish fleet continued to be hit and slowly sank into the water.The sea was full of wreckage of warships and soldiers who jumped off the ship. The screams and explosions, mixed with billowing smoke, echoed over the mouth of Manila Bay.

The soldiers on Corregidor Island watched everything on the battlefield from a distance. They witnessed their own fiasco. They didn't fire the loaded shells until the opponent's fleet entered the range of the island's artillery.But it didn't help.

The First Fleet stopped less than three miles from Corregidor Island.

"Master, why don't you just take Corregidor Island and attack Manila?" Lu Shiyan asked with some doubts.

"The opponent has too many warships in Manila Bay, and our ammunition is not enough to support us in one attack. In addition, it takes four to five days to travel from Dagupan to Manila. We have to wait for Zheng Zhilong to receive supplies before attacking the city."

"I understand!" Lu Shiyan nodded.

"Come here today."

Xie Xuelong looked at the messy sea and ordered to stay away from Corregidor Island.

Their supply ship is in Palavig, a half-day voyage from here, and the distance is not far or close, so they don't have to worry about being targeted, and they can supply in time.

They left, and Olaza was about to collapse.

The roar of artillery fire reached the Governor's Mansion, and he impatiently boarded the boat and headed towards Corregidor Island, but the scene he saw almost made his eyeballs pop out.
