Chapter 848 Philippine Islands

Qiao Yifeng appeared ambitious, ordered to throw the iron hook to lock the two ships, and at the same time led Guanghaiwei to fire cannons and guns on the opposite side. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was busy extinguishing the fire, he chose to stab the Spaniard in the back.

The effect was obvious, and the Spanish galleons were even more chaotic. In particular, the group of Southeast Asian sailors ran out of the bottom warehouse, and seeing that it was not too far from the island of Luzon in front, someone jumped ship with a floating object and escaped.

Spain is not necessarily strong internally, and many Spaniards are recruited. Fearing that they would be burned to death on this boat, some small groups chose to put down the boat and escape from here in a small boat.

"Captain, let's run away! If we don't run away, we will be too late. A crew member watched as the tide turned, and confronted José, who was yelling.

"Bastard! Bastard! ”

José's throat was about to burst, but he had lost his prestige, and the crew no longer obeyed his orders, and they were all trying to find a way to escape.

The fleet of the Ming Dynasty is not far from here, and once that fleet of the Ming Dynasty arrives, even if they get rid of Qiao Yifeng's entanglement, they will have to become prisoners.

The husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came, not to mention this improvised pirate gang?

"Someday, I'll get it all back!"

José boarded a small boat with a half-push, gritting his teeth in extreme reluctance.

The war is becoming clearer and clearer, and the balance of victory is already tilting towards the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that the ignorant fleet led by Hu Niu has arrived, Qiao Yifeng's side alone has the ability to swallow this group of chaotic pirates, but the price paid is higher.

Qiao Yifeng did not choose to take risks, but waited for Hu Niu's men and horses to work together, board the ship from the left and right sides at the same time, and wipe out the remaining diehards one by one.

It didn't take long for this galleon, which represented the world's highest shipbuilding achievement, to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

The Spanish pirate gang led by the Great Black Ship originally wanted to rescue Jose's Spanish galleon, but after seeing the appearance of the Armada and being entangled by a three-masted gunboat, they wisely chose to flee in the end.

The battle was fierce, and there were no seabirds to be seen, and the sky to the west was slowly darkening.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the fleet escorted the Spanish galleon back to Batangas Bay.

When they learned that the Ming fleet had captured a Spanish galleon, the people of Batangas were shocked, and they ran to the port to watch, and they realized the strength of the Ming fleet more deeply.

Yan Bin was a maritime merchant from Fujian, and he and the broken ship fell into the hands of the Spanish pirates, thinking that there was no life or death. But things were reversed, and they were saved by this Ming fleet.

It's just that he didn't be happy for long, but there was a panicked look on his face. Because this Ming fleet is the fleet of the Ming court, and his identity is an embarrassing smuggler, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he will be beheaded.

"What? Let me go? ”

Yan Bin thought that a catastrophe was coming, but he didn't expect things to turn around again, these people actually chose to let him go, and immediately looked at the general in disbelief.

Qiao Yifeng nodded affirmatively, and replied lightly: "You have to be careful when you sail in the future, if you really have any trouble, you can also go to the tortoiseshell United City, they will try their best to help you!" ”

"Thank you!" Yan Bin's eyes were filled with tears, which made his heart swell with pride as a Ming person, and before leaving, he solemnly promised: "I am Yan Bin of the Yan family in Fuzhou, if he needs it in the future, I will try my best to repay this great kindness!" ”

Lin spent four days in Batangas and saw the many tribal chiefs summoned by Lakandura, and knew that he was not lying. Batangas is really the leader of the tribes in the southern part of Luzon, and he is indeed qualified for the Ming to canonize him as king.

Just qualifying, but not necessarily turning into reality, I'm afraid Rakandullah also understands this.

In the early morning of the fifth day, the fleet left Batangas Bay, but instead of going to the west of Sulu, it chose to continue south.

According to the division of the Philippine archipelago in later generations, from Luzon Island in the north to Mindanao Island in the south, between the two largest islands, there are large and small islands such as Mindoro Island, Panai Island, and Sanyu Island, and Cebu Island is in the middle of it.

The fleet chose to continue south, and if it was going to visit the kingdom of Mindanao, it would have to pass through Cebu. But I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, the fleet arrived outside the port of Cebu Island in one day.

Bang!

When the fleet appeared outside the port of Cebu Island, the batteries built by the Spaniards roared, and shells flew towards the fleet, but they did not know whether to warn or to take the initiative to start a war.

Lin Haoran gave an order, letting the Invincible Armada stay where he was and resting, and did not choose to forcibly attack the port.

After a while, he chose to release a Spanish captive to Fort San Petro to deliver the news, but instead of asking the Spaniards to surrender, they asked them to hand over the pirate leader José.

No one knew what he had in mind, as if he had only come to ask for the crime and arrest the pirate leader José.

Cebu Island, Fort San Petro.

Regasby's face was gloomy, the fine ceramic tea set he had obtained a few days ago had been smashed to pieces, and his whole body was like a lion in a rage, and in front of him was the prisoner who had been released.

José had lost his Spanish galleon, and now a powerful Ming fleet had arrived at his doorstep and ordered him to hand over José or attack it.

"Go back and tell those physiologists that Jose isn't here! If they want to fight, our great Spain will accompany them to the end, and will let him know that we Spain is the most powerful country! Regasby quickly made up his mind, and said haughtily to the released captive.

The captive thought that he could escape by passing the news, but he did not expect to return to the hands of the devils. He actually wanted to refuse, but in the face of Regasby's vicious gaze, Regasby obviously didn't consult with him.

"It's just a few more ships, and they want to threaten me, and there are no doors!" Regasby watched the captives leave, but snorted heavily.

It's not that he doesn't love peace, but he also has some fears about this Ming fleet. If the other party comes in, although he has been defended by the fortifications for decades, it is difficult to guarantee that his strength will be reduced.

However, he had to choose to be tough, not to mention that Jose was not here, and even Jose was here, he could not budge. After all, his goal is to become the governor here, and the Ming fleet has become an obstacle for him, so he naturally has to get rid of it quickly.
