Lin Manjue was faced with a 30-meter-long, 300-ton three-masted galleon and a two-masted merchant ship, the Spanish ship had always been as large as a castle on the sea, even if the large ship was comparable to the tonnage of the 500 shark ship, it looked huge.

However, he was not afraid, not only because the fleet led by Lin Manjue still had five 200 shark ships equipped with eleven guns, but also because after approaching, through the telescope, he found that the enemy ship's gun positions were not full, and even if they were full, they were much less than him.

In fact, he was mistaken, the three-masted galleon had no less guns than him, and the largest caliber guns were still larger than his, but the numerous smallest caliber guns were also much smaller than him.

Lin Manjue was the first to discover the enemy ship, stuck in the direction it must pass through to sail and intercept, approaching within twenty miles of the Xiyi warship has not yet found their figure, but when the two sides enter ten miles, the behemoth of the five hundred shark ships under the wide field of vision cannot escape the naked eye inspection.

These two ships were the coastal patrols of the New Spanish army after it landed on Guam, and there were only six such fleets, seven a few months ago, but one fleet under the orders of the commander went west to probe the situation in the Philippine Islands, and only six remained.

No valiant Spanish commander would have assigned too many fleets off the coast of Guam, and no one would have to worry about an enemy thousands of miles away, and the greatest significance of a patrol was nothing more than to help the handles of troop carriers when they were in trouble, and the big ships to help the small ships to inform the news.

The grid is an ancient unit of measurement on land and sea used in Spain, Portugal and other places, one mile is usually four Roman miles, three nautical miles at sea is 5,500 meters, and 4,800 meters on land.

There were many large ships in Guam, but they were now used to transport troops between the original home island of the Polynians, the Hawaiian Islands, who had too many non-sailing and dizzy recruits in New Spain.

The servant army is Chen Mu's name for them, but the Spaniards don't see it that way, even if it is a colony, even if people are divided into three, six, nine and so on because of their skin color, race, and place of origin, but without exception, whether it is Spain or New Spain, no matter which ethnic group and country they belonged to in the past, they are all Spaniards now, and the recruited army is naturally Spanish soldiers.

In fact, the governor of New Spain did not receive Chen Mu's letter of claim to King Philip II, and Philip's letter was not sent to New Spain, and when he sent people to Japan and the Philippines to investigate, in fact, the army had not yet been dispatched, and almost at the same time that Chen Bazhi went to Hirado Island, the Spanish began to transport troops from New Spain to Guam.

The Ming Dynasty has always been in the eyes of the Viceroy of New Spain, but as the largest source of raw materials and handicrafts, the Americas have not been completely pacified, so they have not set off a war.

Interestingly, the Ming Dynasty is like a cave with a stone door closed, and when the Spaniards walk to the door, they think that there must be a lot of treasures hidden inside, and it only takes sixty soldiers to conquer the Ming and have everything.

Later, some people felt that the stone gate was too heavy, and it would take at least 6,000 soldiers to open it.

Later, Chen Mu destroyed everything that the Philippine Governor had on the island, which made the Governor of New Spain discover that there was actually an evil dragon in the cave, and he rushed out!

Now he didn't want to send many troops to conquer Daming, he just wanted to put Chen Mu back into the cave.

Unexpectedly, the dragon's minions had already stretched out to his left and right.

In the waters near Guam, Lin Manjue fought a fierce and exhausting battle, but it was also very easy to win.

The Spanish three-masted galleon and armed merchant ships fired at his fleet from three miles away with huge bow-firing stone cannons, which were extremely powerful, but limited to the irregular polishing of the stone projectiles and the long-range firing of the extremely poor degree, and could not even hit a single hair.

The Shark boat sailed in a line all the way, and when the distance between the two sides approached two miles, and when the soldiers on the galleon, who had drunk too much sugar cane rum, were eager to move at full speed in the hope of winning the victory, the Shark turned its rudder and went to the right, and fired all twelve side-chord guns out at a distance of 300 paces.

The line of Shark fleets that followed also threw a dense array of shells in almost the same course.

More than ten five-pound shells bombarded the bow and right deck of the enemy ship, shattering the bow elephant, especially the ten-pound heavy gun equipped by the big shark ship rolled down the deck after breaking through the two layers of walls, and the terrible power of continuing to kill and wound the enemy soldiers made the morale of the Spanish soldiers drop suddenly.

What was really desperate was that the artillery was difficult to fire, and the speed was far from catching up with the oars that lowered the oars and used the shark boat, and when the line array bit the galleon for the third time, Lin Manjue, who was eager to win, put the big shark ship parallel to the enemy ship within fifty paces, and almost came to a confrontation with a hard-hitting posture.

The three ten-pound guns on the waterline all hit the opponent's shipboard and opened two terrible holes, and the five-pound guns on the upper deck also fired shotshots into the sails, and then without looking back, they led the team in pursuit of the armed merchant ships that had already fled.

When the five small shark boats opened fire from the enemy's side and sailed away, many of the battalions on board looked back and watched the three-masted galleon slowly sink.

Lin Manjue, who was standing on the bow of the ship in pursuit of the victor, was not very handsome, his mainmast was put into the mast by a cannonball, and he did not notice it during the battle, and when he pursued the mast at full speed, he broke off and smashed heavily on the ship's board with a clatter, and he could not walk fast with the auxiliary mast alone, so he could only watch the armed merchant ship go farther and farther.

Therefore, he was very tired from fighting, because until Hangxin arrived in Guam, his flagship was rowed vigorously by large oars, and two large grain ships were dragged by cables.

Although the battle was won, the big shark ship was seriously damaged, and more than a dozen sailors died on board, which made Lin Manjue feel bitter.

According to his estimates, the galleons that were their enemies ranged from eighty to ninety men. In the Western seamen's art of war captured by Chen Mu, it is written that 5.5 tons is equipped with one sailor, and more soldiers are added in wartime, and the ship will not exceed 90 people when it is full.

The situation left for him was very embarrassing, he had soldiers, guns, baggage, and food, but the big ship could not afford to fight again, and now the mission of going back was not achieved, and it was very likely that the enemy would be caught up by the fleet after receiving the news, and with his combat strength alone, if the enemy sent three such galleons, he would not only be able to defeat him, but also capture him.

If you don't go back, do you want to continue to land on the island?

Lin Manjue moved his mind, sent two small shark ships to pursue the armed merchant ships all the way to the vicinity of the port, and then sailed north, and then went west around the great circle and went south after seeing the enemy army, and then led the fleet to wait in the sea south of the port for a whole night, and the next day after joining his subordinates, he continued to sail to the south of Guam, and ran aground on the wild beach without a harbor on the east side of the island for half a week.

"Ten of you, take two months' rations and go back, the big ship can't be repaired, unload the gun, sink it in the open sea, we put away the mast of the little shark ship, buckle it over and cover it with turf and hide it, go into the mountains to set up a village, and secretly find out the situation, and when you go back, you must inform the marshal that Lin is waiting for the marshal to lead the army to attack!"
