In order to achieve the goal of annihilating all the Spanish soldiers in Luzon in Manila, Yan Yingyuan and the other Fourth Army made a big show all the way out of Laoag Castle, for fear that the Spaniards would not know that they were attacking in the direction of Manila.

In addition to the Spaniards, there are only a few hundred thousand indigenous people in Luzon, and most of them are small towns and tribes.

The Ming army had a full 20,000 troops, all the way south to Manila, there was no force that could stop the Ming army, the towns and tribes that the Ming army passed, all feared by the strength of the Ming army, and fell to the wind, even if they came out to intercept without knowing why, the whole army was annihilated so that they had the only end.

Laoag is located in the northwestern tip of Luzon, about 1,000 miles from Manila in the south, and according to the advance of the Ming soldiers of the Fourth Army, it can reach Manila in about seven days.

"Big brother, do you think the Spaniards will be fooled into concentrating all their strength in Manila for us to annihilate in one battle?" On the way to the march, Feng Houdun asked Yan Yingyuan.

"Among the foreigners in Europe, the Spaniards are the most arrogant, but their strength is insufficient, the natives on Luzon Island can be ignored, the Spaniards only have 13,000 people, and we have annihilated 20,000 in Lasag, these days all the way down, there are 1,000 annihilated, that is, there are only 10,000 Spaniards left on the island, and our army has 20,000, if the Spaniards want to keep Luzon, they must keep Manila, so don't say that they don't know the strategy of our army at all, even if they do, the Spaniards can only grit their teeth and fight! Moreover, in the past two days, Shen Jing and the other East China Sea Fleet are afraid that they have already reached Manila Bay, and the Spanish fleet and fleet in Luzon Island will be annihilated by the East China Sea Fleet. Yan Yingyuan smiled and said with great certainty.

"Big brother is right, it's always better to be able to wipe out the Spaniards on the island in one battle than for us to chase and destroy them all over the island!" Feng Houdun said.

Just as Yan Yingyuan expected, after these two days, Shen Jing and other 35 warships of the East China Sea Fleet had already reached Manila Bay, and were preparing to completely annihilate the Spanish warships and fleets in Manila Bay.

On the sea level of Kokand, thirty-five huge ocean-going sea-class warships appeared, and the dragon flag on the battleships was conspicuous.

The sudden appearance of the "Dudutu" Ming warship caused confusion among the Spanish warships and fleets in the bay.

There was a fleet of about thirteen Spanish warships and more than two hundred Spanish seagoing ships in the bay.

Due to the sudden appearance of the warships of the East China Sea Fleet, the thirteen Spanish warships in the bay did not have time to gather together, so they could only come out to meet each other, and the first to meet the four Spanish warships were the first to meet them, and the other Spanish warships were also gathering towards the mouth of the bay.

On the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, Shen Jing was watching with a telescope.

Seeing the four Spanish warships heading towards the battle, Shen Jing smiled disdainfully and ordered: "The whole army adjusts the muzzle and prepares to sink the four Spanish warships in one round!" ”

With Shen Jing's order, all the cannons on the thirty-five Shenwei-class battleships of the East China Sea Fleet began to adjust their muzzles.

Because the Shenwei cannon on the Shenwei-class battleship is equipped with an anti-recoil device, and after special settings, the use of a new type of high gunpowder made of percussion shells, the bombardment is very fast, plus the three-story turret, can make each battleship in the ship when the ship forward, the 32 cannons on the ship can fire a salvo in one direction, not like the warships of European countries, equipped with heavy guns, the shell is extremely slow, can only rotate the shelling on both sides, one side of the shell is finished, when the bombing, rotate the hull, let the cannon on the other side fire.

The warships of the East China Sea Fleet soon approached the mouth of the bay, and the distance between them and the oncoming Spanish warships became closer and closer, 3,500 meters, 3,000 meters

The distance of three thousand meters, although it was already within the range of the warships of the East China Sea Fleet, but for the sake of the accuracy of the shells, Shen Jing did not order the fleet to open fire.

Soon, the distance reached two thousand five hundred meters, two thousand three hundred meters, and it was almost within the range of the Spanish battleships, and at this time Shen Jing finally ordered all the battleships to fire a salvo.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom" Thirty-five Shenwei-class battleships fired a salvo, and from the ship, the muzzles of a black hole spewed flames.

A salvo of more than a thousand guns was fired, and shells rained down on the four oncoming Spanish ships.

"Oh, no," shouted the Spanish sailors on the four battleships in fear.

"Boom boom" shells fell densely around the four battleships.

Due to the high density of shells, each Spanish battleship was hit by more than ten shells.

The cannonball exploded, tearing the hull with great force, and with a bang, the fire rose into the sky with broken wood, and in an instant, the four Spanish warships were completely torn apart, the entire hull was shattered, and it sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Shen Jing and many sailors of the East China Sea Fleet all hooked up a cold smile.

However, unlike the ruthlessness of the East China Sea Fleet, the nine Spanish warships that also sailed to meet them behind were not lightly frightened, and the Spanish sailors on the battleships were all pale and stunned.

"No, it's not true, it's a joke of God!" All the Spanish soldiers on the nine Spanish battleships were terrified.

Four battleships, completely torn apart by just one round of enemy shelling, sank in an instant, what kind of power must this be, it is incredible, it is too frightening, it is invincible!

Unbeatable! This was the unanimous thought of all the Spanish sailors on the nine Spanish ships.

"U-turn, circumvent!" The captain of one of the Spanish warships was the first to roar in horror.

After a while, the nine Spanish warships gave up on the East China Sea Fleet and all began to turn around and flee into Manila Bay, losing the will to engage the East China Sea Fleet.

"Hehe, want to run? There is no more chance! On the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, Shen Jing sneered.

At this time, there were already warships of the East China Sea Fleet that included nine Spanish warships within a range of three thousand meters, and besides, it was Manila Bay, and there was no place to escape, even if it escaped into the depths of the bay, it would be a dead end.

"Fire!"

At the front, the warships of the East China Sea Fleet, which had already included nine Spanish warships within a range of 3,000 meters, fired a salvo.

At a distance of three thousand meters, although the accuracy of the cannon was a little worse, seven or eight of the more than 100 shells still hit the Spanish battleship that turned around and fled.

"Boom!" The shells exploded on the hull of the ship, and the flames burst into the sky, and many of the Spanish sailors on the ship were thrown into the sea along with the shattered wood chips.

Although only three Spanish ships were hit, one of them hit three in a row, and although it did not sink, it also lost the ability to continue to escape, and the Spanish sailors on the other eight Spanish ships were even more frightened, and there was chaos on the battleships.

However, more and more ships of the East China Sea Fleet included the remaining eight Spanish warships within the three-meter range.

In this round of shelling, seven warships of the East China Sea Fleet opened fire, and the number of shells nearly doubled.

About a dozen shells hit the Spanish battleship, and together with the battleship, which had already lost its combat effectiveness, three of the nine Spanish battleships were directly sunk, another four were more or less damaged, and only two were left intact.

Boundless fear gripped the remaining six Spanish warships, unable to escape, unable to return fire from the distance they lacked, and all that remained was despair.

Spanish sailors were already kneeling on the deck and praying for God's blessing.

It's a pity that God was not able to come out to bless them, and the third round of shelling by the East China Sea Fleet was within the reach of twelve warships, and the number of shells hit was nearly twice as many as just now.

The "boom boom" water column exploded, the hull shattered, and this time, together with the already damaged, five Spanish battleships sank directly, and only one was also heavily damaged and lost its combat effectiveness.

In the fourth round of shelling, only one battleship of the East China Sea Fleet opened fire, and two shells sent the last Spanish battleship to the bottom of the sea.

The sea was littered with the corpses of Spanish sailors, and large swaths of the sea were stained red with blood.

Immediately, 35 warships of the East China Sea Fleet rushed into Manila Bay, and without the protection of the Spanish warships, the more than 200 Spanish merchant ships inside were all lambs to be slaughtered.

"Fire!"

Thirty-five warships of the East China Sea Fleet opened fire on all the Spanish ships on the sea.

Countless columns of water were blown up, and a large number of ships were also shattered and sunk by shells.

At the time of half a pillar of incense, under the powerful artillery fire of the East China Sea Fleet, none of the more than 200 Spanish ships could be spared, and all of them were buried at the bottom of the sea.
