Chapter Five Hundred and Fifteen The Marine Chiefs Are Dead
Three navy troops from the four routes came, and the sea was so dark that it could not count how many warships were. These ships were covered with iron sheets, and their bows were all dragon heads. They stared at each other with their mouths and their mouths were hung with dragon beards. Their majesty was not to be violated.
Diego screamed strangely, threw the Mile Mile Mile in his hand to the ground, and asked in absent-mindedly, "Oquedo, who can tell me what this is?"
"Dear Duke, this is the Dahua Navy you don't need to be wary of. They are here."
"Hurry up and use the cannon, don't let them get close!" Diego could no longer breathe, and was so nervous that he was incoherent. He was the only heir in the clan. This time he came to the Far East to investigate the robbery of the silver ship. He didn't expect to have such a battle.
There are only fifteen warships on Luzon Island, which are already all the forces of Spain in the Far East, but there are three silver ships moored in the port, loaded with gold and silver transported from South America.
Oquette could not stand this outrageously high-ranking waste. He blushed and scolded, "Shut up, Diego, if you don't want to be thrown into the sea if you don't want to. They haven't reached our shooting range yet. Do you want my shells to splash for your boat to watch?"
Diego's face looked very ugly, but he also knew that Oquedo was a rare Spanish general. He once commanded the Spanish navy to defeat the arrogant Dutch, thus saving Luzon, the only Spanish colony in the Far East.
Oquído's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. After scolding the useless noble master beside him, he stared at the sea, and he was getting closer and closer! The range of his artillery was getting closer and closer.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sea. Okuido looked at the flying shells in disbelief. Dahua's naval artillery fired at such a distance. Do they think their gunpowder is so bad?
"Boom!" A loud noise far exceeds the ordinary cannon made Oqudeo's body shudder. Then he heard a rumble. Looking into the sound, a large scattered rock rolled down on the steep cliff of the harbor on the right, falling into the sea with the pervading dust, rushing into a wave.
Is their guns so long?
Of course, Oqudeo didn't know that because of the invention of coke steelmaking, the Chinese gun barrels were stronger, and they could make longer barrels, and the range was also increased. Oqudeo took a breath of air conditioning. He observed that the distance was at least a hundred feet higher than his, and the shells were at least twice as big as his twelve-pound cannons with the most powerful twelve-pound cannons.
What's even more terrifying is that these shells are mixed with some burning shells, which will cause fire when they explode. It is simply a nightmare for wooden warships.
Diego looked at the pride of the empire, Governor Oquído, his face was pale, and his dozen remaining warships were bombarded and bruised under the baptism of the sky.
The navy warship of the Huachao was covered with iron armor, and the wooden hull was inside. Even if its shells hit, they could not hit a hole. However, the cannons on the opposite side could ignite their warships with just one shot.
Oquído looked at his men. The battle had just begun and his maritime power had been completely destroyed. Next, he could only rely on the city wall to defend the Chinese.
"Drive the ship away! Leave me a few ships, hell, I really want to see God this time." Oquedo, who could no longer tell who he was going to see, never expected that this was just the beginning. After a round of bombardment, several giant warships sailed out of it.
The ship was armed with teeth, like a sea castle that had been built long ago. The black cannon barrel was facing the sea, as if it was a giant beast with countless eyes in the deep sea.
Such a warship, wearing iron armor, is an armed castle moving near the sea, and unloading the armor is a water monster that is rampant from the ocean. Such a warship can double the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet.
Oquera instinctively sensed the danger of this thing, lost her confidence and calmness, and exclaimed, "Blasting! Shoot this monster for me!"
The Spanish and Luzon native soldiers on land were all shocked. They woke up when they heard the huge ringing sound, loaded ammunition and prepared to shoot.
The shells were flying all over the sky, like an egg hitting a big tree, and there was nothing he could do except add some black spots. The Spaniards lost their enterprising spirit in the endless squander of gold and silver, and their artillery was not even as good as their neighbor Portugal.
The giant ship sailed to the Spanish warships as if no one was left. These poor warships were already scarred and the roads on both sides were blocked. Oquédo covered his eyes. He had expected that his maritime power would be completely destroyed in the next moment.
A few pillars of fire were suddenly shot out from the cannon hole on the giant warship, burning the Spanish warship beneath it. The canvas wooden warship was ignited, and the sailors and sailors on the ship were burned to coke. Everyone who witnessed it with their own eyes could not forget this terrible scene. The burning warships on the sea were very ornamental, like golden flowers blooming on the blue sea. Unfortunately, the people on the ship did not have the intention to enjoy the beautiful scenery. These Spanish men who were domineering in Luzon were experiencing the feeling of being barbecued.
After the giant ship's cannon released its pillar of fire, it rushed forward, and the already fragile fire ship was smashed to pieces and completely sunk.
Zhang Jiayu in the distance stood calmly on the deck with a thousand-mile mirror, chatting and laughing, "The warships of the foreign chiefs were destroyed. The warships made by the Denlai Navy are indeed powerful. I don't know when, our southern navy can also build such warships that can determine the outcome."
Chen Zizhuang was a little dissatisfied and snorted coldly, saying, "Your Majesty transferred Lord Yao to Denglai and sent Lord Gong to take charge of the Songjiang Navy. Since then, the Songjiang Navy, the leading leader, has been getting worse day by day. A good navy has become a tool for making money, and I don't build warships and think about escorting every day."
"Haha, I can't say that. When the Denglai Navy was in charge of the war between Japan and Liaodong, I naturally had to take care of it. Besides, although Lord Gong Zifang did not improve the combat effectiveness of the navy, he earned the national treasury no less than the taxes of one province. How could Your Majesty be unhappy? I heard that the treatment within the Songjiang Navy was higher than that of our officials."
Seeing that several subordinates were chatting, Zhang Jiayu was a little unhappy and coughed lightly and said, "We are fighting now. Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the war. The warships of the foreign chiefs have been destroyed. Send a troop transport ship to transport the Guangdong soldiers to land. Your Majesty is watching this battle in Fuzhou. Don't delay it for too long. This year is the first year of Tianshou. We will use the first big victory to congratulate Your Majesty."
