Chapter 350 The Cannon Is Coming!

Gan Hui sent people to properly arrange these thousands of captives.

Then he asked about the battle situation in Manila Bay, and was even more shocked when he learned that the First Fleet had wiped out many Spanish warships.

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be easy to win Manila?"

"It's not easy, but it's not difficult. If it wasn't for saving these people, tomorrow would be the time to attack the city."

"Master Xie Duzhai has a kind heart, and the general admires it!" Gan Hui said, clasping his hands.

I secretly felt that these people met Xuelong, if they met them, they would have been bombarded to death together with the Spaniards.

"Have the supplies delivered to Zongbing Zheng been out for five days?"

"Yes, I separated the troops who transported supplies from those who transported weapons. The transport of that kind of cannon is easy, and it should arrive in about two days."

Xie Xuelong nodded, then got up and prepared to leave.

Gan Hui knew that the war was tense at this time, so he didn't keep him, and sent Xie Xuelong all the way to the ship.

After solving the problem of captives, Xie Xuelong felt a lot more relaxed, and led the fleet to leave Dagupan and continue southwards towards Palavig.

At the same time as they set off, Cerezo finally escaped from Limbones.He first came to Corregidor Island and found Franco.

"Didn't Mingren come over today?"

"No." Franco said with a smile.He also spent these two days in apprehension, worried that Ming would break his promise and continue to attack Manila.But at this time, there was still no movement from the other party, and he sent a fleet to investigate the waters tens of miles away from the mouth of Manila Bay, but also found no trace of the Ming people.Only then did he feel relieved, and faced Cerezo with a smile at this moment, waiting to see his governor speak to praise him.

"Now is not the time to be proud. You release the fleet and conduct a rigorous investigation in the nearby waters. If the other party makes a comeback, you must get news in time. You can also respond in time!"

"Yes!" The smile on Franco's face disappeared, and he straightened his body and said seriously.

Cerezo didn't stay long in Corregidor Island, and after giving instructions, he brought people back to Manila.Franco respectfully sent him to the ship all the way, but he found a strange problem. Only two of the thirty warships that Cerezo brought back from Manila returned at this time, and the rest were missing.

Franco wanted to ask a question, so as to understand his own strategic deployment, but in the end he held back.

As for Cerezo's dog temper, he might not get the answer he wanted and would have to be scolded.

Damn, whatever!Love ye ye ye drop.

He has already thought about it, he has done everything he can and cannot do, and if the Ming people really break their promises and make a comeback, he will surrender immediately.Even being caught as a prisoner by Ming people is better than being bombarded to death.

Cerezo went straight back to Manila by boat. As for the fleet he brought, he ordered him to go to a certain place:

Batangas

There are many bays in the entire Luzon Island, and Batangas is one of them, but it is not as famous as Manila Bay.

The reason why Cerezo ordered the fleet to go secretly to Batangas was purely to leave a way out for himself.

The land distance from Manila to Batangas is more than 100 miles, and there are no mountains in between.If the city of Manila falls, he can go all the way south, first to Batangas, and then escape by boat.

As long as they are at sea, no matter how powerful Mingren's warships are, there is nothing he can do about it.

As for why they didn't escape from the mouth of Manila Bay, just kidding, their fleets were so face-stricken, there is still a possibility of running away?

In his view, no matter how quickly the Ming people signed the deed and how resoundingly they swore the oath, since they were aggressively attacking Manila, they would never give up easily.But this does not mean that he can leave here. After all, even if he takes office for one day, he is the governor of Luzon.Being cowardly before a battle and fleeing before His Majesty the King is definitely not a plus, and it is even very likely to be convicted.At that time, the other officials have not worked for a few days, the money has not been obtained, and they have been imprisoned because of this, it will be too sad.

No way, I deserve to be unlucky.

Cerezo has no feelings for this, so he is ready to abandon Luzon at any time.

Outside Manila, Zheng Zhilong's men were still busy hunting in the mountains.

"Damn, the food here is so strange." Zheng Zhilong swallowed a mouthful of snake meat and said sullenly.

"Haha, brother, this snake still tastes very good after being roasted. Besides, it's better than starving!" Zheng Zhibao laughed when he heard this.

Conley likes to eat snake meat. Under his strong recommendation, they also tried it and found that it was not as scary as imagined.Besides, when I was wandering at sea and had nothing to eat, I never ate anything I fished from the sea.

"I'm not saying it's not delicious, but it's not an option to go on like this. Shen Qianhu, do you think the team delivering the hell cannon will arrive tomorrow?" Zheng Zhilong looked at Shen Lian who was on the side.

"I don't know. But the news was sent back last night, saying that we are to wait for the arrival of the hell cannons to launch an attack, and we don't have to wait for the fleet's bombardment!"

"Why is this?"

"I don't know." Shen Lian's answer was concise and clear.

Zheng Zhilong sighed and did not speak. They have been here for almost 20 days, and they have consumed almost the same food in the past few days.Although you can find food in the mountains, after all, these messy things are not as safe as food. Many soldiers have already started to run away because they are not used to it.Dozens of soldiers also lost their lives, some were bitten to death by poisonous snakes, and some were eaten by unknown food.If this continues, he doesn't know how long he can last.

"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to worry, as long as the hell cannon is delivered, the city of Manila will be captured within a day!" Lu Jiang interjected, he knew the power of the hell cannon too well.

"Old Lu, I hear you talking about the power of this hell cannon. My ears are almost callused. When I get back, I really have to see if it is as amazing as you said."

"Wait and see!"

Lu Jiang said with a smile.

The sun in the sky gradually moved westward until it disappeared into the sky, and another day was over.

In the early morning of the second day, Zheng Zhilong got up from the tent early and ordered his soldiers to continue to follow Kangli's rebel army into the mountains to find food.

After busying for a while, he took out an unknown wild fruit. It didn't taste very good, but it could barely satisfy his hunger.When it came to his mouth, it made him even more irritated that he didn't come.

At this time, a soldier quickly ran over from the periphery.

"Chief soldier! Chief soldier! The deliverer is here!"

"Send something? Where are you!?"

"More than ten miles away! The brothers in charge of security on the periphery just sent news that the transport team from Dagupan to deliver the artillery has arrived! Let us help to receive it!"

"Okay!" Zheng Zhilong threw the fruit in his hand to the ground happily, and shouted to Lu Jiang who was washing his face with water not far away:

"Old Lu! Old Lu! The guns are coming!"

"Where is it?" Lu Jiang asked excitedly after wiping his face indiscriminately.

"More than ten miles away. Let's go, go and have a look! Call Shen Qianhu and the others!"
