Southeast of Sao Tome Island, in the dense jungle, a large army is moving forward with difficulty. At the front of the army is the vanguard responsible for opening the way.
I saw that each of these vanguard members were strong, tall, and powerful. Each of them was holding a big sword and slashed at the dense jungle. In a short time, a spacious road was cut out.
Every ten minutes, another group of people was replaced, and the cycle continued. In a short period of time, they forcibly opened up several roads for the army to walk out of the originally dense jungle.
While Korbanda looked anxiously at the vanguard who were opening the road ahead, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at the watch on his wrist.
Time was passing minute by minute, and dawn was getting closer and closer. I ordered my adjutant to get the map, compare it carefully, calculate the distance, and quickly urged my men to hurry up and march.
Marching in this dense jungle is really not a pleasant thing, and we encounter various problems and things along the way.
But fortunately, both the Persians and the Koreans were troops trained in imitation of the Ming Dynasty's army. With an order, they would have to wade through mountains of swords and seas of fire, let alone marching in this dense jungle.
The destination is getting closer and closer. Look at the time again. In another hour, it will start to get dark, which is the time to launch a sneak attack.
The Spaniards on Sao Tome Island are sleeping soundly at this moment, enjoying the rare coolness.
In the Governor's Palace, Duke Colster woke up from his sleep and looked at the girl next to him, looking a little helpless.
As we get older, not only do we become less capable in some aspects, but our sleep also becomes shorter and shallower, and we only need a few hours of sleep every day.
Every morning, I wake up at around four o'clock and can't go back to sleep.
As usual, I habitually put on my clothes and came to the heights of the castle, preparing to quietly think about life here while slowly waiting for the sunrise.
He likes to watch the sunrise, because the rising sun means new life, infinite vitality and hope. The older he gets, the more he misses his youth.
"It's better to be young. I think when I was young, I could fight seven women in one night, but now I can't even sleep until dawn."
Duke Colster smiled slightly and laughed at himself, then quickly thought about things in his mind.
"The last sneak attack on Yanshan Port severely damaged the Koreans. The Japanese are eager to join us and go to Europe to become pirates."
"This is your first time to plan carefully. Choosing a good location is the key."
"The coastal ports in France on the Mediterranean are a good choice. Once you have robbed the stolen goods, you can transport it directly back to China for sale. However, there are too many ships in the Mediterranean, so it may be difficult to hide the stolen goods."
"If you don't want people to know, you'd better choose to rob the ports in England. Then you can sell them directly to the Golden Continent of the Ming Dynasty. The demand for slaves there is very large and the price is high."
Duke Colster was sitting on his chair, with a pot of tea brewing on the table next to him. Several slave servants who were in charge of serving him were waiting patiently.
In the kitchen of the Governor's Palace, the cook is also carefully preparing today's breakfast for Duke Colster. Other than that, the entire castle is dark. As for the outside, it is extremely quiet, with only a few places where there are lights quietly.
The burning, provides limited light.
"Um?"
Looking to the east, Duke Colster suddenly opened his eyes slightly, because in the originally dark and dense jungle, he seemed to see lights shaking, which made him feel energetic.
"Bring me my telescope~"
Duke Colster stood up immediately and hurried to the watchtower on the castle. Soon the servant also brought the telescope.
Standing on the watchtower, I looked carefully into the dense jungle to the east with a telescope. I could see clearly at once that there were indeed torches, but they were not many in number, but they were very regular, every distance.
There is a torch.
Under the cover of the dense jungle, if you hadn't happened to see it, you might not have been able to spot it.
"Hiss~"
The Duke of Colster took a breath of cold air.
He was unexpectedly approached quietly. If he was unprepared when he was killed, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. Seeing the figures marching closely in the jungle, he was frightened.
Covered in cold sweat.
"Come here~"
"Go and wake everyone up immediately, but don't sound the alarm and prepare for war."
Without hesitation, Duke Colster immediately issued the order.
Following the issuance of Duke Colster's order, the originally silent colonial stronghold suddenly came to life, and the Spaniards who received the news were shocked.
Someone is trying to reach their colonial stronghold silently. If they succeed, everyone may be killed in their sleep.
"I don't know who could use such despicable and shameless means."
"How did they land on our Fernando Island silently?"
Duke Colster looked carefully with a telescope, and then looked at the colonial stronghold. Everyone had been awakened and quickly prepared for battle.
"Hmph~"
"No matter who you are, since you have been discovered by me, I can only count you as unlucky."
"If you want to make a sneak attack, then I will use your plan." spanstyle>谷/spanstyle>
A smile appeared on Duke Colster's lips.
In the dense jungle, Korbanda didn't know that their whereabouts had been exposed at this moment. Who would have thought that an old man would wake up very early to watch the sunrise without sleeping well.
"Ahead is the Spanish colonial stronghold on Sao Tome Island. There is still half an hour before the attack is launched. We finally arrived on time. The order is sent down. Everyone needs to have a good rest and be prepared. The attack will be launched as soon as the time is up.
"
Cole Peninsula climbed up a tree and looked at the Spanish colonial stronghold with a telescope.
Looking from a distance, the entire stronghold was silent and pitch black. Only the lights burning in the watchtower could be seen, and watchmen could be seen standing guard.
In the waters outside the Port of Sao Tome, a fleet of fourteen warships led by Liu Shunting also arrived on time in the waters outside the Port of Sao Tome. At this moment, he was also using telescopes to carefully observe the Port of Sao Tome in front of him.
It was also pitch black, nothing could be seen or clearly seen, only the tall lighthouse could be seen clearly.
"Send the order and launch the attack in half an hour!"
Looking at the time, it was only half an hour before the attack was launched, and I didn't know if Korbanda had successfully arrived.
Half an hour passed quickly.
"attack!"
Korbanda has arrived at the outskirts of the colonial stronghold. Looking at the defenseless colonial stronghold, he issued an order to attack.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers moved towards the colonial stronghold silently, preparing to open the gate without anyone noticing and lead the army to rush in.
"Fire!"
However, when numerous troops were exposed in the open area outside the stronghold, an order was issued.
"Bang~bang~"
Intensive gunshots like fried beans rang out from the colonial stronghold, billowing white smoke filled the air, countless firelights flickered, and lead pellets shot mercilessly at the North Korean and Persian soldiers who rushed past.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
At the same time, the artillery that had been prepared for a long time also began to spray its own anger, and deafening loud noises broke the deserted morning.
In the blink of an eye, cannonballs fell on the Persian and Korean troops, smashing a large number of soldiers into a pulp. The beating made countless soldiers scream in pain.
"kill!"
Duke Colster took out the cross sword in his hand and looked at the scene in front of him coldly. He saw it clearly.
"Persians, Koreans~"
"They actually dare to attack us!"
Duke Colster was really angry. He originally thought that they would only dare to hide in the colonial stronghold, but who knew that they would dare to sneak attack him, and in a way that he had never thought of.
If he hadn't been unable to sleep and discovered them in advance, if these armies had waited until they entered the colonial stronghold, all the Spaniards on the island would have died.
"Bang~bang~"
Beside him, the Spanish soldiers fired three shots with expressionless faces, and billowing white smoke continued to rise.
Relying on the defense and advantages of the colonial stronghold, they ruthlessly shot the Koreans and Persians who rushed over in the open area.
"They actually discovered us a long time ago!"
When Korbanda saw the scene in front of him, he was a little unbelievable. He was actually discovered and was tricked by the other party. All of a sudden, the person who rushed over was stunned.
The army on our side had come a long way and had not had much rest in the first place. After a night of rapid marching in the jungle, they were exhausted, and now they were caught off guard again.
"It's over, it's over now!"
Korbanda's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and then he drew out the sword in his hand and roared: "Brave Persian warriors, now we are at the point of life and death. We have no way out, we can only move forward bravely and fight our way out.
Only then can we survive!”
"Kill me!"
Korbanda roared angrily. Suddenly, behind him, the Persian soldiers seemed to have been beaten to death and began to launch a fierce attack on the colonial stronghold.
At the same time, on the outer sea side of Sao Tome Port, fourteen Korean warships also saw the fighting breaking out at the colonial stronghold, and immediately sailed towards the port quickly.
One cannon after another was aimed at the Spanish colonial stronghold, and began to spit out fury. With a loud rumbling sound, the cannonballs roared towards the colonial stronghold, and then hit the colonial stronghold heavily.
"The North Koreans actually dared to dispatch their remaining warships to sneak attack us from the sea!"
Duke Colster looked out to sea and saw the Korean warships launching shelling, and he suddenly seemed a little unbelievable.
