"Bump..."

Accompanied by a series of roars, twelve-pound solid shells left the barrel at a speed of more than 300 meters per second, drew arcs in mid-air and smashed heavily onto the dock.

"boom……"

A solid bullet fell on a house at the dock, smashing a large hole the size of a table on the wall, and then it fell heavily to the ground and made a dull sound.

"Bang bang bang..."

There were constant solid projectiles gathering the houses on the pier, making waves of dull sounds, and buildings kept collapsing.

After three rounds of artillery bombardment, Ning Shuisheng ordered the stop of launch. Looking at the dock that became in a mess because of the shelling, Ning Shuisheng breathed, and felt his thoughts uneven, and murmured: "Brothers, have you seen it? I avenge you. Today, the Marquis brought the army here. This time we will take away the red-haired devils in one fell swoop to comfort your spirit in heaven."

Just over a month ago, Ning Shuisheng, who had just served as the captain of the Haining, led the Haining and Haima to Cebu Island for reconnaissance. He saw that there was not even a patrol ship around Cebu Island, and all the warships were neatly basking in the sun on the dock. He was not polite and fucked him directly.

Unfortunately, he was not experienced as the first captain, and he was too fond of love and almost got entangled by the Spanish. Although the two warships finally escaped, the Haining also lost dozens of brothers. Ning Shuisheng had not felt guilty about this for more than a month. Today, he finally had the opportunity to take revenge. He only felt that his body was excited.

The moment the rumbling cannon sounded, the entire San Petro Castle fell into a brief chaos, and then the entire castle moved like a frightened beast.

Accompanied by the rapid bell, countless Spanish soldiers who were fooling around in the tavern or with their lovers, all of them rushed up and ran towards the city wall after putting on their clothes.

On the city wall, with the shouts of officers, the soldiers pushed a cannon to the marching point, and the gunners piled up baskets of shells, black gunpowder and other things near the cannons. A temporary recruitment of civilians also began to carry supplies out of the warehouse.

Not only men, but even women were summoned. They were either assigned to kitchens to cook or were assigned to treatment centers to treat the wounded. The atmosphere of war enveloped everyone's hearts.

Governor Field, who received the news, took off his gorgeous dress under the maid's service, put on his blue and gray military uniform and shiny military boots, and wore a long sword and a hand gun around his waist.

When he walked up to the city wall surrounded by dozens of guards, Castro, who was commanding on the city wall, quickly came up and saluted loudly.

"Governor General, welcome to visit!"

"Forget it!"

Field then gave a greeting.

"Castro, have those Ming people landed?"

"His Governor, their cargo ships have begun to enter the dock, and their soldiers have begun to disembark."

"Um!"

Field nodded, stretched his hand to the side, and handed a mirror to his hand.

Fort San Petro is about three kilometers away from the pier. With the help of a thousand-mile mirror, Field could clearly see that several cargo ships had approached the pier. A soldier in a fancy uniform was coming down from the ship. Around these cargo ships, more than a dozen warships were lined up to guard the surroundings. Field was sure that once the soldiers from the Ming Kingdom encountered an attack, the warships would definitely use artillery to flatten the target as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Field sighed lightly and said to Castro who was standing aside: "You are right, resisting in the port is indeed not a good idea."

When a military meeting was held a few days ago, some officers said that some artillery and soldiers could be deployed at the docks, so that the Ming people could be severely damaged when the Ming fleet was approaching the port.

But this proposal was immediately opposed by Castro, who told them bluntly: "This plan can only consume their precious artillery and troops in vain. Now the only thing they can do is to shrink all their troops into the castle, use the castle's solid walls to delay time, and wait for the arrival of the local main fleet."

In the end, Field adopted Castro's suggestion. Now that I think about it, Field felt a little lucky. If I really listened to the radical officers, the troops deployed in the port would probably be wiped out if they could last for half an hour.

Field asked again: "Where is our fleet hidden?"

"Don't worry," Castro said: "The island and reef they hide in are very hidden. If ordinary people are not familiar with the terrain, they will not be able to enter the place where the reefs are everywhere."

“That’s good.”

Field nodded and said seriously, "You must remember that this fleet is not only our trump card for launching the general offensive, but also our last hope."

Castro nodded solemnly, and Field naturally understood the meaning.

The first half of this sentence refers to the dagger that stabs the enemy's heart if the war goes well. If the war goes badly, the fleet will be their last hope for retreat.

But only more than 30 warships naturally could not hold everyone. In the end, the only ones who could get on board were probably Field, the officers, soldiers and families who were close to him.

"Hurry up... Go forward five hundred meters quickly, array... array..."

A Qiang-President wearing the rank of Major Captain waved his saber and urged the sergeant who had just disembarked. Only by expanding the scope of control can they win valuable time. You must know that there are not many sergeants disembarking now, and it is the most vulnerable time. Once the Spaniards attack them, it is hard to say whether they can stop them.

However, the things that the President was worried about did not happen. As time slowly passed, more and more soldiers came ashore. More than an hour later, more than a thousand soldiers had already arrived ashore and had been arranged in two square formations.

At this point, it was too late for the Spaniards to launch a surprise attack. And as time went by, more than ten artillery pieces were transported to the shore. At this point, it was almost successful to announce that the landing was announced.
