Chapter 955: Tricked

Yang Feng directly ignored Liu Xiang's coquettish and angry gaze, buddy is already very patient with you, okay, try it with another person, I would have swallowed you with a belt and bones, how can you be so carefree, now you are just taking advantage of your words, what do you mean by putting on this expression?

In the face of Yang Feng's ignorance, Liu Xiang had no good way, so she could only roll her eyes a few more times, but even she didn't notice it, and now her attitude towards Yang Feng has become more and more casual, and sometimes it can even be described as coquettish.

And Yang Feng's attitude towards her is also very tolerant, otherwise someone else would try it, counting more than 100,000 people in the entire Jiangning army, who would dare to roll his eyes at the dignified Jiangning Hou.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Fortunately, Yang Feng also knew that Liu Xiang was thin-skinned, and he had encountered Zheng Zhihu's disgusting things before, so he had a natural defense against men in his heart, and if he persecuted too much, it might have the opposite effect, so he decisively changed the topic.

"According to Castro's confession, although Field had a fleet of dozens of warships, he also knew that this fleet alone would not be able to compete with our fleet, so he made arrangements before our army attacked Cebu Island, so that this fleet would go out to maneuver as a surprise force.

But what Castro didn't expect was that they would lose so quickly that the odd army did not play a role, and Fort San Petro fell. And this wonder army has lost its original role. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Feng looked directly into Liu Xiang's eyes: "According to the confessions of Mitchell and Castro, the fleet that is still hidden outside does not know about the fall of Fort San Petro, do you know what this means?" ”

"I know" the corners of Liu Xiang's mouth raised slightly: "It means that we can surround this fleet silently or lure them out by means, and then eat them in one bite!" As long as this fleet is eaten, whether it is those thirty or so warships or nearly two thousand Spanish naval officers and sailors, it will all be ours! ”

Liu Xiang's tone was still calm, but Yang Feng could see it clearly, and her eyes became more and more bright.

After all, warships and artillery can be mass-produced, but qualified officers and sailors need time to train, and it has only been three years since the establishment of the Fujian Naval Division, and its development to the present is the result of the efforts of Yang Feng and all the officers and men of the Naval Division.

Now there is such an opportunity in front of him, as long as all the officers and sailors of the Spanish fleet can be digested, at most three months, the strength of the Second Fleet can be increased by at least fifty percent, how can Liu Xiang, who has long regarded the Second Fleet as a child, not be happy?

After thinking about it quickly for a while, Liu Xiang immediately said: "Master Hou, if you want to eat that fleet, you must lure that fleet out, and then we can continue to do it, we can ...... like this."

There is a small island with a radius of three or four kilometers more than 120 kilometers southwest of Cebu Island, and because the island is surrounded by reefs, it is very easy for ships to run aground without the guidance of someone familiar with the local sea conditions, so over time few people want to come here.

But just half a month ago, a mysterious fleet quietly sailed into the island and settled down.

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

The waves crashed against the reef with a monotonous and continuous sound, and Colonel Murphy sat on the huge reef, quietly looking at the moon overhead, and by the moonlight he could see that he was still holding a letterhead in his hand.

There were still three or four officers standing behind Colonel Murphy, and a major couldn't help but ask, "Colonel Murphy, what are you still hesitating about?" Since Governor Field has ordered us to return to Cebu Island to stand by, we should obey it, and as soldiers, we cannot disobey orders. ”

"I'm not disobedient, I'm just a little confused about this letter......"

"Confused? Could it be that this letter is fake? The faces of the major and the officers around him immediately changed.

Murphy shook his head, "This letter is genuine, it is indeed Colonel Castro's handwriting, and Governor Field's seal, but there is no signature of Governor Field, which is what puzzles me." ”

"Signature?"

The officers looked at each other for a moment, and then the major said: "Since there is no problem with the seal and handwriting, it proves that this letter cannot be fake." As for the absence of Governor Field's signature, I think there are only two possibilities. Either Colonel Castro did not have time to ask His Excellency the Governor to sign the letter, or His Excellency the Governor did not have time, which also makes sense. ”

"I hope so."

Colonel Murphy was still a little confused, and he shook his head vigorously in an attempt to clear his head.

For some reason, perhaps from the intuition of a soldier, he always felt a sense of unease, but reason told him that the letter was indeed Castro's handwriting, and that the seal on it was genuine, and that there was nothing wrong with the letter except for the omission of Governor Field's signature. And this little flaw doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"Colonel, the military situation is urgent, we can't hesitate any longer, if we delay the important matter of His Excellency the Governor, it will be a big incident."

The Major's words finally urged Colonel Murphy's determination, "Okay...... Pass my order, and tomorrow at dawn the whole fleet will immediately pull anchor and set sail towards Cebu Island! ”

This letter was naturally forged by Yang Feng, but it is not entirely correct to say that it is fake, because the person who wrote this letter is indeed Castro in the prisoner of war camp, and the seal is also real.

There is a maxim in later generations of intelligence circles: once a betrayal begins, it will continue to sell.

Since Castro had already confessed Colonel Murphy's information, he didn't care about writing another order to Colonel Murphy in the name of the dead Field.

Colonel Murphy finally took the bait, and after a day of hurrying, they finally arrived at the Cebu Island pier before dark.

When the fleet sailed to Cebu Island, they saw a desolate dock with soldiers patrolling the pier, which was completely in line with their impression that there had indeed been a great war here.

Suspicious, Murphy ordered the fleet to dock, and more than thirty warships quickly docked at the dock, but when they disembarked, Murphy and the officers were greeted not with flowers and applause, but with groups of Ming army officers fully armed and armed with firearms and a black artillery.

In the face of the black muzzle, Colonel Murphy and the other officers could only raise their hands helplessly, even if they were angry and unwilling.

In this way, more than 30 warships and nearly 2,000 officers and sailors of the Spanish Navy all fell into the hands of the Ming army......
