Chapter two hundred and ten division
The extended bow of the new warship is like a sharp sword pointed forward.
The Chinese warships rushed forward quickly, surrounded the entire Cebu Bay, and fired warnings at several ships trying to escape.
After Wan Jun's flagship arrived at the bay, he saw that most of the ships docked here were merchant ships, with a few warships mixed in among the merchant ships. They were unable to maneuver and could only be targets.
After quickly controlling the entire bay, the Fu Ship at the rear approached the bay, transporting soldiers to the shore while sending people to take command of each ship.
There were dozens of warships floating around on the sea surface, and the black muzzles were pointed at the ships in the bay at any time. It was expected that no one would dare to take risks.
However, it was already evening, and the sky in the east had begun to change from lavender to indigo. Time could not delay it. It was dark, and the Chinese army was in a strange environment again.
Wan Jun knew in his heart that the most important thing now was to destroy the Spanish fortress in Cebu as soon as possible.
"Success, all the ships in the bay will be handed over to you. All ships will be impounded and will be screened after the war is over!"
Zheng Chenggong said, "Don't worry, head of state!"
Wanjun immediately boarded the boat, left the flagship, and followed a large number of lucky ships to the beach.
Three hundred soldiers had just landed, and Wan Jun said, "Don't wait any longer. Soldiers gathered together, don't stop, transport the rocket launchers and move forward!"
A triangular castle is built facing the bay. It is the first fortress built by the Spanish colonization of Luzon Island, the San Pedro Castle.
The city wall made of stone supports the tall fort, with only black holes flowing out of the fort.
At this time, I saw everyone on the beach and started shooting at the Chinese army. Most of the cannons hit the sea or got stuck in the beach, which did not pose much of a threat.
On the side far away from the castle, everyone began to build a rocket launcher position.
A quarter of an hour later, seeing that the soldiers were ready to launch, Wan Jun looked back and saw that the sun in the west had sunk, the indigo in the east had rapidly expanded, and half of the sky had turned into navy blue, dotted with dots.
of starlight.
Wan Jun raised his hand gently, "Light the fire!"
The battalion commander standing by immediately shouted, "Let go!"
As the green smoke came to mind, the lead wires made a hissing sound, like dozens or hundreds of venomous snakes spitting out their poison at the same time.
A whooshing sound broke through the air, and then the sounds became louder and louder, one after another, converging into a rocket launcher ensemble!
The green smoke of gunpowder rose, and the rocket launcher dragged the flame trail across the sky quickly. It was so bright and dazzling for a moment, it was like a beautiful fireworks show.
Except for the Chinese soldiers, everyone else would be shocked by the beauty of this scene.
As the rocket launchers fell, the Spaniards woke up from the shock. The more beautiful things are, the more deadly they are.
The entire city of San Pedro exploded into a sea of flames, the explosions were loud, the tall stone forts were overturned to the ground, and there was no intact place on the city wall.
This scene was unprecedented. Many sailors on the bay had only one thought at the moment, thanking God that they were not in that castle.
The big explosion lasted for nearly a minute. By the time the gunpowder smoke and explosion smoke dispersed, the sky had completely darkened.
The Castle of San Pedro is hidden in darkness, with only the glow of burning fires swaying.
Wan Jun intended to frighten the many ships in the bay, and also to build up the prestige of the Chinese army in the first battle, he ordered people to fight again.
Rocket launchers were set up for the first time and carpet bombing was carried out towards the San Pedro Castle.
This time, the scale of the rocket launcher was even more spectacular. The arrow body of the rocket launcher was hidden in the dark night, leaving only streaks of flame across the night sky. It was very spectacular.
Europeans had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, they almost thought it was God's Apocalypse Knight, and they were horrified.
Flames streaked across the sky and fell on the burning San Pedro Castle, and the thunderous explosion sounded again.
When the explosion ended, the battalion commander led three hundred soldiers and quickly headed towards the San Pedro Castle.
The Spanish fortress was quiet, with no sign of counterattack. The soldiers crossed the moat and quickly rushed into the fortress, searching for possible enemies under the light of the fire.
Ten thousand soldiers stood on the beach and stared at the San Pedro Castle. The thick walls had been torn to pieces by the explosion, and smoke and fire enveloped the fort.
A quarter of an hour later, a soldier came to report, "Führer, the city gate has been captured, and the rest of the people in the castle are still searching."
Wan Jun asked, "How many Westerners are there in the city?"
The soldier said, "No living persons have been found so far."
Wan Jun said to the messenger, "Go and tell General Zheng that our army has captured the fortress and the army can go ashore to rest!"
Immediately, Wanjun led people into the San Pedro Castle. The new Chinese Army flag had been erected on the city gate, and the soldiers were putting out the fire near the city gate.
The ground was full of ruins, the air was filled with a foul stench, and Spanish corpses and mutilated limbs were everywhere.
Wan Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the power of the rocket launcher to clean the ground was really terrifying.
After a while, Zheng Chenggong arrived with his people, "Führer, the bay has been cleared. Seventy-seven merchant ships have been caught on the beach. There are also seven warships."
Wan Jun said, "Call Boluoduozhi to identify the enemy and ourselves in the name of the Portuguese. Anyone who has not sent troops to join the fleet should not embarrass them. The rest will be treated as prisoners!"
Zheng Chenggong took the order to leave, and Wanjun ordered people to extinguish the flames in the castle. If this place is managed, it will become an important force for China to rule Luzon in the future.
On the second day, the entire San Pedro Castle was finally cleared and officially renamed Fort Zhenghe, serving as the forward base of the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea.
The screening of ships in the bay has also been completed. Seven warships and most of the merchant ships are Spanish ships, as well as several Japanese and East Asian merchant ships.
Zheng Chenggong seized all Spanish merchant ships as spoils of war and released several ships from non-belligerent countries.
The Chinese Army's first phase goal has been achieved, taking down the Spanish base in Luzon, and then waiting for the decisive battle with the United Fleet.
According to the Portuguese's intelligence, it is thought that the combined fleet should have arrived in the South China Sea.
In order to keep track of the movements of the combined fleet, Wan Jun divided the No. 3 battleship into sixteen ships, with two ships in a team, and sent out to the entire western sea in eight batches. They surveyed the hydrography and searched for more than 800 miles of sea.
Traces of Europeans.
In Cebu Bay, which has been renamed Fort Zhenghe, Wan Jun led his soldiers to cut wood and quarry in the tropical rainforest, repairing the severely damaged Fort Zhenghe.
The entire castle is triangular in shape, with tall circular forts standing on three corners, equipped with the most sophisticated heavy artillery in the entire castle.
But now, the city wall was shattered by the huge power of the rocket launcher. The rubble fell to the ground. The artillery mounted on the fort was overturned into the moat below the city. The whole thing was in a mess.
Wan Jun couldn't help but regret that if he had fired fewer rocket launchers,
, maybe there is no need to spend so much effort to rebuild now.
The European-style column buildings in the castle have been blown into rubble. Now new wooden columns and curved carved beams are being erected. The Chinese-style buildings are declaring the new ownership of this land.
Twelve days passed in a row. In the afternoon of that day, two ships suddenly sailed back to the bay, bringing news of the discovery of the European fleet.
The captain excitedly told Wan Jun that he had discovered news about the Europeans.
"Many ships, densely packed ships, hundreds of Hongyi ships!"
Wan Jun didn't believe it. The European fleet came faster than expected. "Did you see it clearly?"
"We can't see clearly, so we only dare to explore from a distance so as not to alert the enemy."
In the South China Sea, hundreds of warships can come to the Cebu Sea. Except for the European combined fleet, other small countries do not have such strength.
Wan Jun understood this and sent away the captain, ordering Zheng Chenggong to recall all ships and prepare his forces to fight.
After everything was arranged, Wan Jun restrained his excitement and climbed onto the newly restored tall city wall in the north of Zhenghe Fort, gazing at the white sandy beach in the distance and the azure water in the distance. On the distant horizon, the blue and the sea.
The blue of the sky is mixed together, and the sky is dotted with white clouds, creating a beautiful scene full of tropical style.
But there is no peace here. To the east of the Cebu Sea is the famous Leyte Gulf. Historically, the Japanese completely lost their ability to compete at sea after the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
To the west of the Cebu Sea, on the sea of Zamboanga, the European fleet is approaching.
The large-scale European fleet met at the port of Iberia, along the west coast of Africa, through the Cape of Good Hope, across the Indian Ocean, sailed through the Strait of Malacca, and now entered the South China Sea and was sailing towards the Cebu Sea. Apparently, Lu was not aware of it.
What happened in Song Dynasty.
The Spanish power on Luzon Island has been destroyed. The arrogant European combined fleet and the Chinese who are unwilling to sink are about to start a war that is destined to start off the coast of Zamboanga.
Wan Jun stared at it for a full quarter of an hour before turning back and letting out a long sigh.
Cui Ziyi followed and heard the sigh and asked, "Why did the head of state sigh?"
Wan Jun said, "What a pity for such great mountains and rivers!"
Cui Ziyi asked in confusion, "Isn't this place right under our feet now?"
Wan Jun nodded, "I don't know how powerful the Europeans are. I'm always a little worried."
Cui Ziyi said, "The head of state has traveled all over the world for many years. This is the first time I have seen the head of state behave like this."
Wan Jun said, "The sacred and solemn moment is coming. Everything we have done is for this day. As long as we can defeat the European fleet, the Eastern and Western worlds will stand side by side!"
Cui Ziyi said, "Does the head of state value the Hongyi people so much?"
Wan Jun said, "You don't understand that the Hongyi people are on the eve of change. In less than a hundred years, everything will become different."
Cui Ziyi said, "What about China? Will China not change in a hundred years?"
"Yes!"
Wan Jun's mind was a little dazed, "Yes, China will also change, it will no longer be the same China!"
Wang Lihui has invented the flying ball, Fei Weisan's steam engine is also being improved, and the people in the Central Plains have been divided into land, and the gentry has paid grain as one, and there is also a calculation method.
Since coming to this world, Wan Jun's goal has always been to seize the future for China. Now the Chinese are ready to face all invading enemies!
