Chapter 816
Jose, who had put on his cockscomb hat again, stood on a Carrick sailboat and was looking angrily at the combined fleet and the three-masted gunboat where Qiao Yifeng was.
Although Jose was once a prisoner, he successfully escaped from Manila Bay with the help of Luzon's minister Morabi.
Just thinking about the scene where his brother died in front of him, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he took two Carrick sailboats and his companions back to Manila Bay. Not only to recover his brother's body, but also to
Launch a revenge against these semi-civilized natives and make them pay with blood.
At this moment, the Manila area, just dozens of miles away, has lost its past peace. There are many corpses scattered on both sides of the town roads, some houses are still smoking, and everything seems to be in a mess.
"Morabi, we must find out the traitor Morabi!"
Suleiman looked at the tragic situation in front of him, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes very red, and he roared like an angry lion.
It's just a pity that Morabi has disappeared, and there is no regret in the world.
Yan Yi sighed silently in his heart, and finally understood why Qiao Yifeng wanted to use their soldiers to execute the Spaniards that day. The Ming Dynasty people guessed that Jose would be released, so they deliberately wiped blood on them, so that He
Cyprus was angry with Manila.
Seeing the king's expression and the Spanish's destruction of Manila, the king would inevitably change his original intention and welcome these Ming people with open arms.
After this time, the king may have understood that Spain is the real devil, and trading with them is like seeking the skin of a tiger. If Luzon wants to avoid being destroyed, it must firmly embrace the thick thigh of the Ming Dynasty.
Boom!
Under the cloudy sky, a battle was taking place in Manila Bay. The Spanish ships had followed the combined fleet in a fierce exchange of fire. The shells were flying around the sea with terrifying screams, and water columns several feet high were splashed on the sea surface.
.
"Light the fire and set it off!"
Qiao Yifeng looked at the menacing semi-iron-armored sailboat and seemed very calm as he gave the order.
Although he knew that there would be a battle with Spain, he did not expect that it would come so quickly. Just as they were preparing to return to the voyage, they were all planning how to report to Lin Haoran, but in the end, everything happened.
I have to admit that the Spaniards have arrogant capital, and they can indeed traverse the Southeast Asia with their strong ships and cannons. If the United Shipyards had not invested heavily in building this kind of three-masted gunboat, I am afraid that they would have been annihilated by them today.
Boom!
Eight powerful cannons spurted out tongues of fire, and cannonballs weighing fifteen kilograms flew towards the Spanish galleon.
Although most of them fell into the sea, one also hit the bow of the ship, causing the iron sheet to dent into a terrible shape, and the strong wood inside the iron sheet had been cracked and broken.
Bang!
One of the masts on the three-masted gunboat was broken, and the upper part slammed downwards, creating a hole in the hull.
In this battle, it seems that no one can get any advantage, and it becomes more and more tense.
Boom!
This time it was not the sound of artillery, but a thunder in the sky. This white-hot war seemed to have angered the heavens, and raindrops as big as soybeans suddenly fell from the dark sky.
"Rush over!"
Jose didn't want the sudden rain to ruin the blocking battle. He immediately braved the painful rain and ordered the ship to move forward at full speed. He wanted to eat this weird ship and use the water on it.
His life was buried with his brother.
However, the three-masted gunboat fled towards the Manila Pier. It seemed that it did not want to engage in a boarding battle with the Spanish, but wanted to take advantage of its heavy artillery.
"Rush over!"
Seeing that the other party was retreating, Jose felt excited and gave instructions loudly.
Bang!
The three-masted gunboat, which had lost one of its mainmasts, was at a speed disadvantage. The two ships collided heavily, and a boarding battle was about to take place.
"Prepare the short cannon, fire!"
Qiao Yifeng issued the order and was already preparing for battle.
Bang bang bang!
Following the order, cannonballs flew out of the muzzle one after another and flew towards the deck of the Spanish galleon.
puff!
Most of the Spaniards were wearing white shirts and light armor on their upper bodies, but when they were hit by cannonballs, their internal organs were directly shattered, and large mouthfuls of blood overflowed from their mouths and noses.
"Damn it!"
The raindrops became more and more dense, and both sides suffered from the rain. Their gun barrels were filled with water, and they could no longer be used.
"Kill! Kill this yellow monkey!"
Jose held a bright Western knife and loudly encouraged the soldiers.
The group of Spanish soldiers standing on the deck responded in unison, raising their war spears high. After a while, iron hooks were thrown from the Spanish ship and hung on the deck of the three-masted gunboat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers of Guanghaiwei were not vegetarians. Facing the Spaniards who were swinging over the ropes to climb onto the deck, they not only cut the ropes, but someone directly stuffed the barrel of the gun into the Spanish's mouth, and then buckled it with horrified eyes.
After deactivating the trigger, a lead bullet penetrated into the internal organs from the esophagus.
"Dammit, take cover!"
Jose watched his subordinates fall into the sea one by one, especially the sound of gunshots from the other side, and immediately issued an order.
It's just that they were holding red rope guns and pointing them at the Ming soldiers over there, but they couldn't fire them in the rain. They tried several times, but still failed. On the other hand, the other side was still firing gunshots one after another, and it seemed that they were not able to fire.
Affected by this rain.
"What a hell!"
Jose and others couldn't figure it out. Their most advanced muskets could no longer ignite, but the opponent's muskets were not affected at all and continued to harvest the lives of their compatriots.
Seeing lives being harvested one after another, and seeing lead bullets being shot through the rain curtain, I knew that this boarding battle was unwise. If they really wanted to continue the attack, everyone on their ship would probably lose their lives here.
"No, they are attacking our spice ship!"
At this time, a soldier pointed north in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face.
But I saw that a big black ship and a three-masted gunboat were attacking their spice ship. They were also engaged in a boarding battle, but the Ming Dynasty was the main attack, and many Ming people had already boarded the spice ship on land.
.
What they didn't expect was that gunshots were heard one after another, no longer affected by the rain. In this rainy day's boarding battle, the Spaniards were at a complete disadvantage.
"withdraw!"
Jose saw that the spice ship had fallen into the opponent's hands, and the three-masted gunboat seemed to be coming to support, and he knew that the situation was over.
Chapter completed!
