When the other Spanish soldiers around saw this scene, they all looked frightened.
The next moment, bang! Bang bang!
Throughout the construction area, the sound of musket shooting rang out one after another.
The soldiers of the Liberation Army fired from the shooting holes, ran away after shooting, and got into the tunnel prepared in advance in the blink of an eye.
Just as the Spanish soldiers were about to pursue him, they stepped into a trap.
The trap collapsed, and the sharp bamboo thorns in the pit pierced the Spanish soldiers' feet, drawing blood.
The Spanish soldier let out bursts of screams, and his face was distorted by the severe pain.
Snapped!
There was a sound of musket shooting, and a burst of smoke and fire rose from a far corner.
The screaming Spanish soldier was hit in the chest by a lead bullet. A hole was blasted out of his chest and his heart was completely shattered.
His body fell backwards and fell to the ground. He must have died.
"Damn, a bunch of damn rats, so despicable!"
“God bless, this is a hell of a place!”
"..."
Many Spanish soldiers were a little desperate, unable to advance or retreat.
If you continue to advance, you will definitely be ambushed and killed.
If you retreat, Commander Osado will never let you go!
At this moment, gunfire suddenly rang out from all directions.
Bang! Bang!
The soldiers of the Liberation Army who were ambushing in the tunnel opened fire. In just a moment, several Spanish soldiers were killed directly.
Finally, they could not withstand the pressure and chose to exit the construction zone!
…
On board the flagship of the Spanish fleet!
Commander Osado was furious and yelled angrily.
"Damn it, damn it!"
"How can these damn rats be so mean?"
The Liberation Army ambushing in the construction area said, since you have said that I am a ground rat, is it appropriate if I don't dig a tunnel?
Adjutant Carlal asked.
"Your Excellency, please make up your mind!"
"Are we going to continue attacking the construction zone?"
Orsado gave instructions with a dark face.
"Send an order to the boys to surround the construction area at the pier, but not to launch any more attacks."
"When the landing troops are assembled, attack Lingayen directly!"
Having said this, Osado spoke again.
"The command of the fleet will be left to you, Karar, for the time being. I will land in person and command the battle to attack Lingayen."
…
On the same day, a large number of Spanish soldiers landed, formed a military formation, and headed towards Lingayen, not far from the seaside.
By the time they arrived outside Lingayen City, it was already sunset.
But at this time, Lingayan was deserted, and all that was left to them was ruins.
Before the war, the military government had already fortified the country and moved all the people, food, etc. under its rule into Weiyuan City.
Looking at Weiyuan City standing tall in the distance under the setting sun, the expression on Osado's face became extremely ugly.
He had received news that the Chinese had already built a fortress near Lingayen.
But he didn't expect that the scale of this city would be so... majestic!
There is no possibility that such a magnificent fortress could be conquered in a short time!
He felt a little bad. He wouldn't be trapped in Weiyuan City for a long time, right?
Trouble!
Osado ordered.
"Go down and have the army set up camp quickly to prepare for the attack on Weiyuan City tomorrow!"
The Spaniards became busy and prepared to camp outside Weiyuan City.
…
As the sky grew dark, the Spanish fleet floating on the sea lit up its sidelights.
Most sailors returned to their cabins to sleep after dark.
Only a few sailors on duty were still patrolling the ship's deck in the dark!
In order to prevent accidents such as fires, it is generally not possible to light the lights on the ship.
Even when patrolling, it is best to do it in the dark, or each patrol team only has one oil lamp.
Kalal studied the map in his cabin and thought about the strategy.
Since Osado sent back relevant information to Weiyuan City today, he also sensed something was wrong.
He has a keen sense of smell on the battlefield and senses the smell of danger!
If they cannot capture Weiyuan City in a short time, there will be another stalemate on the battlefield in the direction of St. Jones.
So in this decisive battle, the Governor's Mansion may lose!
Carrard would never have imagined that the winner had already been decided in St. Jones at this time, and the army at the Governor's Palace was completely wiped out.
In fact, they have already lost this decisive battle!
Total loss!
Just when Karar was thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly, a huge roar sounded in his ears.
Boom! Boom!
The explosion was very close to him, and Karar's first reaction was that he was under attack!
He didn't even bother to put on his coat, strode out of the cabin and boarded the deck. Then, Karar saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
Not far away, a fourth-level sailing battleship, the Red Beard, lit up with blazing fire on its deck, illuminating everything around it brightly.
A violent explosion occurred at the waterline of the hull, and a large hole several meters in diameter appeared!
The sea water kept pouring into the big hole. As the water kept pouring into the hull, the Red Beard sank faster and faster.
The sailors on the ship jumped into the sea and screamed for help!
At this moment, the first mate of Carral's ship came over to report.
"Your Excellency Carral, I found a letter on the deck."
Carrard took the letter from the first mate and read it by the firelight.
"You red-haired people have no faith and no righteousness. You dare to attack us. You are extremely audacious!"
"Now I, the Ming Dynasty King, have come across the sea to conquer the unconquered ministers. I would like to advise you, the red-haired ones..."
The letter is not long, but the meaning is expressed very clearly!
I blew up the boat. I advise you to surrender immediately. If you don't surrender, I will blow up the entire boat and sink it, leaving you to feed the fish!
Karar couldn't help but frowned and said.
"Damn it, are these Chinese people kidding me?"
Although he didn't know how the Red Beard disappeared, his guess was that the gunpowder magazine of the Red Beard exploded, and it could never have been caused by the Chinese.
Thinking of this, Kalal opened his mouth and ordered.
"Send a signal to all ships and ask them to check the gunpowder magazine to prevent spies from sneaking in and lighting our gunpowder magazine!"
The first mate took the order and went.
Not long after, the first mate came back to report.
"Your Excellency, there are no signs of invasion in the gunpowder magazines of any ship!"
However, the first mate's words had just finished.
The roar sounded again!
Amidst the rumbling explosions, another fourth-level sailing battleship sank...
Karar's eyes widened, looking at the scene of the Kaisha sinking in disbelief.
"what happened!"
"what is going on?"
His eyes were so dark that he didn't dare to look carefully.
The Spanish soldiers all around also looked frightened.
…
Half an hour ago, the water ghosts in the Zheng family's navy rowed a small boat, launched it from the shore, and rowed in the direction where the Spanish fleet was anchored.
The small boat was filled with explosive packets that had been sealed in advance.
The explosive package was wrapped in silk, linen and other things to prevent water from entering, and then sealed with rubber.
The Zheng family's water ghosts dragged explosive bags and dived close to the Spanish fleet.
Then use nails to fix the explosive bags near the waterline of the Spanish ships...
