The sun, which had been shining in the sky for a day, had slowly set to the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it would set completely in a few moments.

The port of Laoag is still full of merchants, merchant ships are taking advantage of the sun to set to enter the port, and a porter is hurrying to unload goods, after all, no one likes to work under the black light.

At this moment, two black shadows appeared in the distance, and at the beginning, the people of Matou Mountain didn't care, there were more ships coming and going every day, and the two ships were nothing at all.

But soon, a young palanquin man on the dock who was carrying a big bag pointed to the two boats and shouted, "Look, that's the Ming warship!" ”

"Stupid, what's so nice about Daming's warship, haven't you seen enough these days?" An elderly porter next to him lectured.

"No, there seems to be something different between the two ships."

"You ......"

The older porter frowned, and he just wanted to scold again, but when he subconsciously turned his head to look at the two battleships slowly approaching the dock, his eyes couldn't help but be stunned.

Daming's fleet has been coming to Laoag for a while, and these porters who have been begging for a living on the dock all year round have seen a lot of Daming's warships, although these porters don't understand the classification of these Daming warships, but they also know that Daming's warships are generally very large, and the largest one can be as high as two or three floors, and the two battleships that are coming back now can only be regarded as small at best.

But this is not the point, the point is that the original gray-white hull of the two returned battleships is full of traces of black and gray, and there are signs of damage on many grounds, it seems that these two battleships have obviously fought with people.

The old porter guessed right, and when the two battleships approached, they could even see that there were still blood stains on the deck of the battleship that had not been wiped clean, and when the battleship stopped, the sailors immediately lowered the gangplank and hurried to the barracks not far away, carrying more than a dozen stretchers.

"Second uncle, look!"

The young porter next to him suddenly pointed to the battleship and shouted.

When everyone looked at it, they found that the tail of the battleship close to them actually had a large table-like hole, but fortunately this hole was above the waterline, otherwise the battleship would probably not be able to come back.

Someone on the side muttered: "Who are they fighting with, fighting so badly?" ”

The old porter's eyes glared and reprimanded: "Shut up, it's none of our business who the warships of the Ming Kingdom fight with, we just need to do our work well and get paid!" ”

Less than half an hour after the warship returned to port, Yang Feng met with the two captains who had just returned from Cebu Island in his residence.

Looking at the two young soldiers who were standing straight in front of him, with the color of gunpowder on their faces, he nodded with satisfaction: "You are the captains of the Seahorse and the Haining?" ”

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, the humble position is the captain of the Haining (Seahorse) Ning Shuisheng (Lu Pei)!"

"Tell me about this mission, right?"

"Yes!"

Ning Haisheng saluted first, and then he told the story of today's battle in 1510.

To say that the battle situation a few days ago was indeed quite thrilling, Ning Shuisheng Lu Pei commanded two warships, Haining and Haima, to rush to Cebu Island when the Spaniards were caught off guard, and shelled the Spanish warships in the port.

Originally, the two of them went with the idea of reaping the greatest results, so they also set their eyes on the biggest "Holy Law", but they never thought that it was because their hearts were too big, and after nearly ten minutes of shelling, they did not sink the Holy Law, but because of the long delay, the other warships had time to leave the port to launch a counterattack against them.

With the departure of the Spanish warship, the original advantages of the Haining and Haima were immediately gone, and Ning Shuisheng and Lu Pei immediately realized that if they were dragged here, the only way waiting for them was destruction.

They didn't have time to think about it, and they hurried away, and the two Spanish warships were indeed fierce enough to be desperate to entangle them, and if they hadn't been fast enough, maybe they would have to stay on Cebu that day.

After listening to the reports of the two, Yang Feng did not blame them, but asked lightly: "Do you know where your mistake is this time?" ”

"Yes!"

Ning Shuisheng lowered his head in shame.

"The two of them only thought about sinking the enemy's warship, but they overestimated their own strength and the urgency of time. Ten minutes of precious time were wasted in vain, so much so that the enemy ship calmly set sail, and almost collapsed on Cebu Island. ”

"If only you knew!" Yang Feng sighed lightly: "If you were sensible enough at that time, you should have used shotguns and firearms to knock down the sailors and sailors on the decks and sails of the Spanish wardecks docked in the harbor.

As long as the enemy ships have no sail handlers, they will not be able to use their great abilities. However, you are eager to sink the enemy's main battleship in one go, and in the end you have caused a commotion instead of eating the meat, and you must keep this lesson in mind. Fighting a war is not only about equipment, but also about using your brains, otherwise even if you control the best warship, you will only have to give away the head in the end, understand? ”

"Got it!"

In the face of Yang Feng's accusation, Ning Shuisheng and Lu Pei did not have the slightest objection.

This is the reason for the lack of combat experience, and if the raid battle two days ago had been commanded by Liu Xiang, Lu Guangbiao, or any of the sailor generals with rich combat experience, they would not have made such a low-level mistake.

As long as they could calm down and patiently use shotguns or firearms to clear the sailors on the deck and sails of the Spanish battleships, those Spanish battleships could only honestly lie on the dock as targets, and then they could calmly "shoot targets", even if they could not completely annihilate the Spanish fleet in the port, but it was absolutely no problem to sink a few ships.

However, Yang Feng believed that after this battle, Ning Shuisheng and Lu Pei would definitely mature rapidly, after all, any excellent officer and general grew up step by step through actual combat.

Yang Feng didn't blame the two too much, and instead asked, "What do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Spaniards' warships?" ”

Ning Shuisheng thought for a while before saying: "Master Hou, I think that the Spaniards are very good at both the operation of the fleet and the use of artillery, and they are not swerving with the Dutch.

Take the battle a few days ago as an example, although the Haining and Seahorse, which were commanded by the lowly command, saw that the situation was not good and they withdrew from the port first, but the two warships of the Spaniards who had just left the port dared to haunt the lowly duty regardless of casualties, if it wasn't for our ship being fast enough, they would have stayed there that day! ”

Speaking of the raid battle that day, Ning Shuisheng still had palpitations.

"Hmm......"

Yang Feng nodded, and then waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go down to rest first, our general offensive will start in a few days, I hope you can make new contributions at that time!" ”

"Whoa!" Ning Shuisheng and Lu Pei responded in unison and saluted Yang Feng.
