- Colonel Marousi, who commanded the Luzon Fleet, was unaware of the approaching danger!
Yes, pirates are very rampant, but the pirates do not yet have the courage to fight a decisive battle with the regular army. Those despicable pirates just dare to attack merchant ships.
These damn pirates, it¡¯s time for you to learn a lesson. To a certain extent, Colonel Marousi was very grateful to Governor Cocuera for giving him this opportunity.
By destroying pirates, you will definitely become a hero that attracts the attention of thousands of people.
The fleet is sailing slowly and is now far away from Luzon Island. Governor Cocuera must be eagerly waiting for the home fleet to return home, right?
The sea is calm, with only a few seabirds flying over occasionally.
Colonel Marousi suddenly thought, what is hidden under the sea? How happy would it be if human beings could one day freely ride in the depths of the sea?
"Ockham, pay attention to the sea." Colonel Marousi warned his assistant, Captain Oakham.
"Yes, Colonel." The captain responded loudly.
There is nothing on the sea, it looks so calm. Even if a fishing boat appears now, it can relieve the boredom of sailing.
You have to know that long voyages are extremely boring.
In the afternoon, the good news finally appeared. The sailors on the lookout loudly told the commander that a huge fleet was spotted ahead.
Oh, God, they finally showed up!
The flag of Spain! Yes, it has been confirmed. All the fleets fly Spanish flags!
The Luzon Fleet began to quickly approach the "Spanish Home Fleet", and Colonel Marousi immediately dispatched a small boat for communication.
The end of the pirates is coming soon, Colonel Marousi thought very optimistically
The fleet is getting closer
And Colonel Marousi would never have imagined who was standing opposite them. Colonel Marousi would definitely tremble if he heard this name:
Daming - Wu Liebo - Ding Yunyi!
On the "Huwei", Ding Yunyi stared coldly at everything in front of him. I saw it, I saw those Spanish battleships! Now, those Chinese who died in Luzon must be looking at themselves in the sky.
Revenge. Revenge for all the dead compatriots!
"Issuing the order, all ships are ready to attack!"
"All ships are ready to attack!"
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Ding Yunyi's mouth It has begun, and the tragic massacre at sea is about to begin Cannonballs are about to explode on the sea. The blood will soon turn the sea red The corpses of those Spaniards will be floating on the sea, and no one will sympathize. No one will shed even a tear for them
The artillery opened its ferocious mouth, and the gunners nervously stared at the fleet ahead When the cannonballs sounded, everything would be drowned in the terrifying roar and thick smoke!
This day is the third day of March in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty!
On this day, the Huben Guard Navy took the initiative to attack with the fury of revenge!
The brothers of Huben Guard will not forget today, the Ming Dynasty will not forget today, and the Spaniards will not forget today!
The fleet was already very close. At this time, Colonel Marousi suddenly discovered that something was not right. The oncoming ships were not only of a warship style he had never seen before, but the speed of the entire fleet seemed to be getting faster and faster.
Why is this happening? Why didn't they send someone to contact me? Instead, it speeded up?
A vague sense of ominousness arose in Colonel Marousi's heart
Just when the colonel hesitated, the sound of cannons suddenly rang out!
"Bombardment! Bombardment!"
A horrified cry suddenly echoed on the "Black Duke"!
"God, it's not our fleet! It's not our fleet!"
Colonel Marousi trembled suddenly and hurriedly raised the telescope in his hand In the telescope, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life:
All the battleships on the opposite side lowered the Spanish flag. Instead, it's it's God it's the flag of the Ming Dynasty people!
Sneak attack! Sneak attack! This is the most despicable sneak attack!
Those enemies actually flew the Spanish flag to lure the Luzon fleet into the trap they had set long ago!
"Fight back! Fight back!" Malus saidThe principal shouted loudly.
The attack came so suddenly that the Spaniards had no preparation at all. One warship had already been hit, and soon the warship became a key target of the Huben Guard Navy. One shell after another, they hit the injured battleship "Dancing Elf" crazily.
Poor "Dancing Elf" number. Never since its launch had it been so heavily bombarded. This is simply a huge disaster for it
There was absolutely no room for resistance. In just a moment, the "Dancing Elf" became the first battleship to sink in this naval battle.
"L formation to fight! Keep all ships on the same line as the main ship!" Colonel Marousi quickly woke up from his panic and loudly issued his order.
The sailors of the Spanish fleet still showed their good qualities, and like their commander, they quickly moved from panic to the fighting position they should be in!
"Let the enemy's blood splash on you before firing!" "The sound of battleships colliding and the sound of cannon fire are heard at the same time!" Such famous naval battle quotes are unforgettable in the hearts of every Spanish sailor.
They firmly believe in their courage, and they must close the distance to a point where it cannot be any closer Then they can bravely teach those sneak attackers a lesson.
But the development of the naval battle was completely different from what they imagined!
The enemy's attack on both wings was very fierce. It seemed to be a "V" formation. At least in the eyes of the Spaniards, he is like this, but not exactly like him.
What is even more frightening is that the range of the artillery on the enemy ship is too far, far exceeding the range of the artillery on the Spanish warship. After each round of artillery fire, the Spanish warships will always feel the huge power.
The idea of ??close combat has been completely disrupted Perhaps half of the warships will be sunk by the enemy's ultra-long-distance strikes before the Spaniards get close
Oh, God! Maruzi called God again.
When did the Ming Dynasty¡¯s warships and artillery become so powerful? Regardless of the size and speed of the battleship, or the range and power of the artillery. The Spanish warships are completely not on the same level as them.
Another battleship was hit, and then like a "dancing elf", this battleship suffered a concentrated attack.
Maruzi saw the sailors on the ship trying their best to put out the fire. But under the heavy blows of the enemy, all their efforts seemed so futile
He also saw that the sailors on the ship finally gave up their efforts to save the warship. One after another jumped into the sea, and the warship sank so quickly.
The enemy was furiously ravaging the Luzon fleet, and the shells roared in overwhelmingly, seeming to want to completely wrap every enemy ship in it.
Now, the situation is completely beyond the control of Colonel Marousi. He can only watch this terrible scene appear in front of his eyes!
Colonel Marousi doesn¡¯t quite understand, since when did the enemy¡¯s navy have such power? Did it just happen overnight?
Opposite him, another person was also watching the naval battle numbly and calmly:
Daming - Marquis Wu Lie - Ding Yunyi!
¡°Perhaps he was still a little uneasy before. Although he was sure that he could win, he was not very sure about the price his fleet would pay.
Now. Those worries have dissipated.
Zheng Zhilong¡¯s fleet is no longer his opponent, and the Spanish fleet is no longer his opponent. Perhaps our fleet is not as good as the Spanish in terms of sailor quality, but the advantage in weapons has made up for this extremely well.
As for the quality of the sailors, you don¡¯t actually need to worry too much. They will fight one battle after another. Rapidly improve your experience.
Just like when the Huben Guard Navy was first established, no one took them seriously. Even they themselves did not have any confidence to defeat their biggest enemy in the past: Zheng Zhilong¡¯s fleet!
But every small battle allows them to accumulate confidence and experience little by little, and sometimes even they themselves are not aware of such changes.
Once accumulation reaches a certain level, a major outbreak is inevitable.
The two fleets strangled together are the best manifestation at present.
The artillery fire at each other caused huge water columns to continue to surge on the sea. The quality gap between the two sides' artillery also makesThe confidence of the other side is changing rapidly.
It is completely conceivable that although the overall quality of the Spanish sailors is higher, when they watch the enemy's cannonballs continue to fall on their hulls, their own cannonballs can only land far away from the enemy warships. What kind of mood will you feel when you go to the sea?
"Tailwind, attack!"
Ding Yunyi suddenly became angry.
"Tailwind, assault!" This was the roar issued simultaneously by Captain Delson of the "Huwei" and the captains of other ships.
The Spanish fleet is in chaos and is gradually showing a tendency to collapse. The huge psychological blow began to make them no longer believe that they could win this naval battle.
Colonel Marousi's confidence is also collapsing. He fought the most inappropriate naval battle at the most inappropriate time. There is even no ability to resist at all.
First of all, the enemy attacked, completely leaving the Spaniards with no time to prepare; secondly, the number of enemy ships far exceeded the Spanish fleet, which is very fatal; thirdly, the number, quality, and artillery of the enemy warships The quantity and quality are completely astounding.
There is no possibility of victory in such a battle.
Another two Spanish warships were hit and caught fire, but the surrounding warships were unable to provide them with any help in the situation.
What is even more frightening is the cruelty and indifference shown by the sailors on the opposite battleship.
They ruthlessly destroyed the enemy's warships one after another. Every one of them firmly remembered the order given to them by Ding Yunyi before the war started:
"All enemy ships, annihilate every enemy ship within sight!"
Any enemy ship!
The brothers of the Huben Guard Navy faithfully carried out this order from Wu Liehou. They loaded the cannonballs ruthlessly and poured the cannonballs ruthlessly towards the enemy.
It¡¯s time to pay the price for what the Spaniards did to the Chinese on Luzon Island!
There was smoke and screams, just as Ding Yunyi thought before the war, he wanted the blood of the Spaniards to dye the sea red, and he wanted the corpses of the Spaniards to fill the entire sea!
Blood debt must be repaid with blood!
In the eyes of Colonel Marousi, it was a failure. This naval battle was a complete failure.
There is no possibility of reversal anymore, which is a great tragedy for Colonel Marousi.
You can¡¯t count on the enemy¡¯s sympathy for you, any sympathy can only exist in fantasy. In this situation, you only have two options:
One is to fight to the end for the honor of the officer; the other is to raise the white flag shamefully.
Colonel Marousi does not want the latter situation to occur. In this case, the honor of all Spanish soldiers will be lost in his own hands.
But in the current situation, does he still have a choice?
The enemy had already charged forward ferociously. The two wings of the Luzon fleet were torn to pieces, and they simply lost the ability to continue to resist.
If the battle continues like this, the entire Luzon fleet will be buried here.
"Commander, we can't fight any longer." Oakham said this in despair and frustration.
These words were like a needle piercing deeply into Maruzi's heart Everyone could see it, which meant that few people were willing to continue fighting.
He glanced at Oakham, who nodded slowly to him. Colonel Marousi sighed: "Order all ships to stop shooting and hoist the white flag."
This is the sentence that Colonel Marousse least wants to say in his life, and this is also the day that Colonel Marousse least wants to recall in his entire life.
On this day, I became a shame to the Spanish people. On this day, I encountered the most terrible thing.
The Spanish warships hoisted white flags one after another, and the cannons gradually stopped firing. And this naval battle also brought another terrifying scene to Luzon:
The most important defensive force in the Luzon defense circle was completely defeated here!
