Yanshan City is Korea's largest colony in West Africa. The colonial governor is Yanshan Jun's younger brother Li Yi. Of course, this is Korea's strategy to imitate the Ming Dynasty and send all the domestic princes overseas. This Yanshan
The city will become Li Yi's overseas vassal state in the future.
Since being visited by pirates last year and causing heavy losses to Yanshan City, Li Yi has been strengthening the defense of Yanshan City, building more forts, and strengthening the city walls here to make Yanshan City stronger.
Coupled with the arrival of the North Korean navy led by Yoo Soon-ting, Yanshan City became even more impregnable, so that the Koreans in Yanshan City became extremely confident.
With such a strong defense, coupled with the strong navy garrison, no one dares to attack Yanshan City. As long as those pirates without eyes dare to come, they will never come back.
Even North Korea is now expanding aggressively in the Bay of Benin, taking the opportunity to seize Spanish colonies and colonial strongholds, and trying to connect the colonies in the Bay of Benin.
It was still dark at this time, and the earth was completely dark. Only a few places in Yanshan City still had lights, and the watchman shouted feebly.
There is also silence in Yanshan Port. There is no hustle and bustle during the day. Large ships are moored quietly at the pier. Only the light on the lighthouse is still on. The whale oil lamp burns very steadily. In addition,
The special glass lamps make the lighthouse like a bright light in the dark night, guiding the ships heading towards Yanshan Port on the dark sea.
The watchman on the watchtower was fast asleep. The whole night vigil was extremely boring, and the world was pitch black as far as the eye could see. Morning was approaching, so it was inevitable to take a short nap.
Occasionally I would be woken up by the sea breeze, and I would look out to the sea. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything at all, and then I would go back to sleep.
In the sea outside, a fleet is heading towards Yanshan Port in a mighty and mighty manner. The cannon holes on both sides of each warship have been completely opened, revealing ferocious cannons.
It was pitch dark on the ship, without any lights on, and it just kept moving forward in the dark night, relying on the sea breeze and ocean currents.
"Is the investigation clear?"
On the battleship San Salvador, Duke Colster stood upright, looking at the dark sea ahead. He could already see a little light in the distance, and he could be sure that his fleet was not going in the wrong direction, and it had arrived very accurately.
Outside Yanshan Port.
"It has been clearly investigated that this time North Korea has sent a total of thirty large warships to West Africa, 12 of which have been stationed in other colonies in the Bay of Benin, and there are still 24 warships here!
"
The adjutant Real on the side nodded very solemnly and replied.
Regarding this sneak attack, the Spaniards took the initiative and conducted a detailed investigation into the situation of North Korean warships in Yanshan Port.
Their target is the Korean warships. As long as these Korean warships are wiped out, what will North Korea and Persia do to compete with them for the colonies in West Africa?
Don't think that with tens of thousands of troops arriving in West Africa, they can attack their colonies one after another on land.
West Africa is very different from other places. It is still possible to establish colonial strongholds along the coast and rivers, but if you go deep into the inland, the various diseases here are very terrible and can easily destroy your health.
Army.
Otherwise, Spain would have already gone deep into the interior to colonize, and the Songhai Empire would have been conquered by Spain long ago.
The African continent is different from other continents. There are too many diseases here, and they can kill people casually.
Kolster quickly grasped the vitality of the Persians and the Koreans. As long as they destroyed these warships in the hands of the Koreans, their training would not be a concern. By then, they would be able to advance, retreat, and defend.
The Persians and Koreans can be easily manipulated.
I still want to snatch colonies from the great Spanish Empire, and I don’t care who is closer here.
"That's good~"
"Pass the order, our target this time is the ships, not to attack Yanshan City. Send all the ships into the sea, then we will win."
Duke Colster nodded with satisfaction, looked at the watch on his wrist, and then looked at the sea to the east. He estimated that in half an hour, the dawn would be coming, and at that time, his fleet would have arrived.
Yanshan Port caught the Koreans by surprise.
All this was obviously carefully planned and calculated, and the purpose was to catch the North Koreans off guard and to sneak attack the North Koreans' Yanshan Port.
"Yes~"
Real quickly replied and once again reiterated Duke Colste's order.
Time is passing slowly, and the Spanish fleet is getting closer and closer to Yanshan Port. At this moment, Yanshan City and the sea outside are still dark.
The Koreans in Yanshan City are still sleeping soundly, enjoying the coolness of the morning. Yanshan City, which is located in the tropical region, is the most comfortable only in the morning.
The same was true for the lookout on the lighthouse. He was still asleep and didn't realize that the danger was coming quietly.
"Oh~oh~"
In Yanshan City, along with the morning crowing of roosters, in the eastern sky, the clouds were reflected by the rising sun. They were so red that they were extremely beautiful.
The watchman on the watchtower was awakened by the sound, and looked out to sea habitually with drooped eyelids.
Just this casual look made me completely sleepless. Suddenly I rolled over like a donkey, rubbed my eyes, and looked out of Yanshan Port in disbelief.
On the vast sea area, dozens of warships were seen heading towards Yanshan Port in a mighty manner, and the cannon holes on the ships had revealed ferocious cannons.
In addition, there are also small boats, and the crews on them are rowing as hard as they can, quickly heading towards the port.
"Dang~dang~"
Seeing all this clearly, he desperately rang the alarm bell on the watchtower. Suddenly, the alarm began to sound in Yanshan City, echoing continuously, over and over again.
In Li Yi's mansion, he was sleeping soundly with two European beauties in his arms. He was exhausted from a battle last night. The taste of European white slaves was different from that of Korean beauties.
"Dang~dang~"
The alarm sounded, and he was woken up. He seemed extremely impatient. Just as he was about to find someone to ask, he heard a rush of footsteps. He immediately knew that something was wrong. He quickly got up, put on his clothes and went outside.
Go.
"The Spaniards~The Spaniards are coming."
When his men saw Li Yi coming out, they immediately shouted anxiously.
"Spanish?"
When Li Yi heard this, he immediately felt something bad and was about to walk outside.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
On the port side, there was a violent loud noise, which made his pace quicken.
The entire Yanshan City was in chaos. Countless people who had been sleeping soundly woke up one after another and came out in panic, looking extremely frightened.
Li Yi hurriedly came to the city head and looked out to the sea. He saw Spanish warships constantly tilting their anger. The billowing white smoke kept rising, and was soon blown away by the sea breeze. The thick smoke was
The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and shells roared in the sky, then slammed into the North Korean ships parked in the port.
"Boom~"
Columns of water rose up in the port, and at the same time, cannonballs hit a ship one after another, creating huge holes in it.
There are also small boats, and the Spaniards on them are rowing the oars desperately towards each ship. You can see that the Spaniards on these small boats are holding burning objects and torches in their hands.
Apparently they were planning to burn the ships in the port.
"Kill me, kill me, we must not let them burn our ship!"
Li Yi suddenly became red-eyed and worried. In this overseas place, if there is no ship, it will be absolutely difficult to move. Even if you have gold, you can't transport it out, and many materials needed for the colonial stronghold are also needed.
Ship comes.
And if the warship is lost, Yanshan City will be like a beautiful girl taking off her clothes, and those pirates will not mind coming to visit from time to time.
In Yanshan City, a large number of Korean soldiers were dispatched one after another, quickly running towards the fort and the port. Liu Shunting, who was very old, soon appeared on the top of the city. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
.
"Quick, quick~"
"Kill the boats that are burning, otherwise if they start burning, the boat will really be ruined."
"It's not a big deal even if it's hit by a cannonball. It's hard to sink a ship with a few cannonballs, but if it's on fire, it will burn out quickly."
Liu Shunting was really anxious. If these twenty-four warships were gone, he would probably have his family confiscated and exterminated by Lord Yanshan when he returned.
"Fire the gun~Fire the gun~"
"Aim at the North Korean soldiers at the port terminal~"
"Hurry, hurry, burn it quickly~"
"Burn all the Korean ships."
Kolster was standing on the deck, and he was very excited. Both sides knew clearly that it would be difficult to sink the ship with cannonball attacks alone.
Sometimes a warship may not be silent even if it is hit by more than a dozen cannonballs. It will still be usable after repairing it at that time.
But once it is burned with fire, the ship will basically be finished quickly and can be easily burned cleanly.
Now it's up to the two sides to see who is faster.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
Violent artillery fire continued, and the shells roared in the sky like showers of raindrops. North Korean ships anchored in the port were continuously hit, leaving holes one after another.
At the same time, some ships began to burn with raging fires.
