If you look down from the sky, more than 200 large and small warships, including cargo ships, are sailing on the sea, and after unfolding, they are more than 10 kilometers long, especially the Zhenyuan, a newly launched second-class battleship as the flagship.

This 58-meter-long, 13.6-meter-wide, 2,500-ton displacement, 98-gun battleship is now the leading battleship of the Ming Fujian Naval Division, and it is the top combat power before the appearance of first-class battleships.

When this fleet flying the flag representing the bright sun and moon sailed on the sea, the Luzon fishermen who rushed out to fish just after the typhoon saw such a majestic fleet appear in front of them, and one by one fled in all directions like frightened birds.

These Luzon fishermen have never forgotten how the fleets of the Spanish colonizers have treated them as natives over the past few decades, and if they encounter Spanish warships when fishing at sea, the best thing to do is to avoid them as soon as possible, not to get in front of them, otherwise, there will be only one consequence, their small sampans will be smashed by the Spanish warships.

Pointing to the fishing boats scattered around not far away, Yang Feng asked Liu Xiang, who was standing next to him, "Deputy Admiral Liu, do you see anything famous?" ”

Today, Liu Xiang was wearing an azure military uniform, and the gold star on her shoulder was shining in the sun. With a pair of black high-top leather shoes on his feet, and black hair cut into short hair, with a beautiful face and wheat-colored skin, he looks particularly heroic.

Hearing Yang Feng's question, she just glanced at the fishing boats that were scattered and fled: "The last general has no feelings, it's just to see whose fist is bigger, if the Spanish warships appear on the sea border of the Ming Dynasty, the fishing boats scattered and fleeing today will become the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Not bad!"

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, he is worthy of being a pirate, and he looks at the problem so directly, so red-fruited.

In another historical time and space, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, almost all of the foreign warships sailing on the Chinese maritime frontier were foreign warships. The law that weakness is the original sin is vividly expressed in the land of China.

Now in this time and space, due to the arrival of Yang Feng, history has turned a big bend, representing the Ming fleet of China on this vast sea, the Ming Dynasty has become a strong party, and those who need to be frightened are replaced by other countries and people.

There may be some corrupt Confucians who criticize Yang Feng and Fujian Sailors for bullying the weak, but Yang Feng has never regretted it, since he has come to this time and space, if he can't change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, he is worthy of the title of traverser.

Some people may say something like crossing the chrysanthemum set of electric drills without rebellion, but Yang Feng scoffs at this kind of talk.

People who say such things are either idiots or have a sick brain, and the emperor is not good for anyone. Ordinary people estimate that they can't even be a village chief, let alone an emperor.

Taking a step back, even if you become an emperor, what's the good. In order to deal with national affairs, get up earlier than chickens, do more work than cows, and sleep later than dogs every day, what fun is there for such an emperor?

The voice of the signal soldier suddenly sounded next to him: "Vice Admiral Liu, the forward reports that they have arrived fifty nautical miles outside Cebu Island, and have not yet discovered the Spanish fleet?" Light instructions for the next battle plan! ”

Liu Xiang ordered without thinking: "Pass my general, and the forward fleet will immediately disperse in three or three formations to search the surrounding sea areas." The main fleet picks up speed and must arrive at Cebu Island by noon. ”

"Understood!"

As Liu Xiang's words fell, her order quickly spread to the commander of the forward fleet with the radio waves.

The advent of radio had a huge impact on the war, especially for Liu Xiang, who could only use flags or drums or even shouts to command battles, and the emergence of radio walkie-talkies was simply earth-shaking for the changes in naval warfare.

Those who have not experienced it personally do not understand that it is not easy to command a warship of hundreds of people on the vast sea, let alone command a fleet of hundreds of warships.

In the past, when the means of communication were backward, the command of the fleet could only rely on the sound of flags, drums, or hanging lanterns and other means to command, and if it encountered bad stormy weather, it was even more troublesome, and in the case of the failure of sight, sound, and other means, the commander had little way to command a huge fleet except for his own ship.

But with the advent of walkie-talkies, this problem that has plagued sailors for thousands of years has been fundamentally solved.

As long as each ship is equipped with a walkie-talkie, the commander can issue his orders to all warships within a radius of tens of kilometers at the same time, which is also subversive for the impact on the combat mode of naval warfare.

Liu Xiang secretly looked at Yang Feng standing in front of her while giving the order, looking at Yang Feng's upright posture and resolute expression, Liu Xiang only felt that there was an inexplicable emotion surging in her heart, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by her to the bottom of her heart.

She is Liu Xiang...... She is a free bird, and the life of a canary in a cage is definitely not suitable for her.

As the minutes ticked by, at noon, the first battleship appeared in the sight of the observation post on Cebu Island, and the rapid whistle sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the big bell that hung in the center of Fort San Petro rang, and when this bell rang, the faces of all the soldiers, whether they were soldiers on duty on the city walls, people who were hiding in a corner and taking a nap, or soldiers who were still fooling around in some unknown tavern, changed their faces, because they knew that the fleet of the Ming people had arrived.

Looking at Fort San Petro, which was clearly visible in front of him, Yang Feng's eyes showed a look of excitement, and he ordered the signal soldier standing next to him: "Tell the forward fleet, say hello to the Spaniards, and tell them that we are coming!" ”

As a person who had attacked Cebu Island in the past, Ning Shuisheng and the Haining under his command were still appointed as the vanguard of the whole army, and at this moment, Ning Shuisheng looked at the port close at hand, and his heart boiled.

"His grandmother's, red-haired devils, you didn't expect it, Grandpa Ning and I'm back again, this time I won't run again, if you have the ability, you can pull out your own battleship and have a good fight with grandpa, and see who is the bad seed!"

For Cebu Island Ning Shuisheng is naturally fresh in his memory, last time he led the two warships of the Haining and the Seahorse to be ordered to reconnoiter when he played a fire reconnaissance, although he was caught off guard by the Spaniards in the early days, but due to lack of experience, he was almost entangled by the Spanish battleships that were reflected, and then although he withdrew from the battle, the heavy casualties also made Ning Shuisheng grin.

"My lord, Master Hou ordered, greet the Spaniard brother and tell them that we have arrived!"

A communications soldier walked up to him and shouted a loud announcement.

"Good...... Order the gunners, all the artillery at the dock and fire me hard! ”
