Chapter 44: Landing

Lin Feng did not land in the northeast of Cebu Island, and although two ships were overturned by the shore shelling of the northeast port, he did not plan to be angry with the Spaniards in the port there.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't plan to.

Because he was tired, he traveled dozens of miles to find a shoal suitable for landing, and three warships and small boats broke down on the shore, and they finally landed, but they did not dare to light torches, like a group of blind men crashing into the rocky beach, and finally found a way.

It's dawn.

"Our artillery has no artillery carts and no pack horses, we can't unload, and we may not be able to beat the harbor defenders without artillery, right?"

Lin Feng ignored him because his cronies knew that the leader was just comforting himself and finding a suitable excuse for himself to give up.

The real excuse is that he wants to attack Huanglong and attack Cebu.

Cebu Island is not far from the northeastern port, and it is clearly drawn on Lin Feng's chart, all the way to the southwest, and it can be reached in a day.

It's night again, and it's a port again.

Lin Feng divided his troops in four directions along the way, and divided nearly a thousand subordinates, all of whom were blocked along the coast and the places where the port must pass, leaving them to bring dry food for a few days to set up an ambush on the main road. If you are lucky, you can loot the enemy's baggage team, and if you are unlucky, you can fulfill the mission of harassing the enemy.

With the sullen loss of the Northeast Port in front, Lin Feng didn't despise the Spaniards so much, in fact, now looking at the castle in Cebu from afar, he no longer had so much confidence, and he didn't think that with his army without artillery, he could really capture the port.

The only reason he's here is because of the pirate work ethic: he's going to have to try.

"Wait until five boats are left in the middle to attract the enemy, and the army will disembark on both wings, and I will touch it from the left, and you will go from the right." Lin Feng lowered his voice and looked at the warships docked in the harbor in the distance. He and Zhuang Gong's ship was connected with wooden planks, and carefully calculated: "There are few people on the ship, with fire, and the ships in the harbor are burned to the brim...... They didn't seem to notice us! ”

Zhuang Gong pursed his lips, didn't know what to say, pretended not to see the embarrassment of the leader, and turned his head to look at the port - there was light in the port, and there were seven or eight miles apart, and he didn't find it, anyway, he couldn't find out what the port looked like.

Lin Feng held the binoculars, this telescope was a second-hand, Chen Mu first asked Lao Guan to make it, and the lenses were originally very amateur.

Since the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court began to make telescopes, Chen Mu has not rarely used it, this time Lin Feng is very dedicated under his command, and he gave the old man to Lin Feng before this departure. Although it is second-hand, it also creates a lot of advantages for Lin Feng, at least he can see the outline of the port.

"There are city walls, and it's not easy to attack, so I won't attack them." Lin Feng took the telescope and struggled to put the so-called city wall into his eyes, in fact, the city wall was a fortress, but this did not prevent him from making the right decision, and said: "There are houses outside the castle, many houses, the defenders can't see it, they want to rob it." ”

"I'll go from the left to the right, and you go from the right to the left, leaving people in the middle to burn the boat, and if you can kill it, you will kill it outside the city, and if you can't kill it, you will retreat. If you can kill it, after the convergence, I will rob the place where you fight, you rob the place where I fight, you take my boat, I take your boat, and we will go to the opposite island to defend it. ”

Just a few miles southeast of Cebu is a small strait and an island, much smaller and flatter, but easier to defend.

"First send someone to drive a few boats over, unload the guns on the boat, put them on the shore and prepare to respond, go!"

In just a moment, the arrangement was made, the fleet was divided into four routes, 100 people led a few boats to the south to land on the island, 100 people drove the boat to stay in place and prepared to attract firepower head-on, and the remaining 800 people were divided into two parts, and the boat was outflanked by Cebu on the left and right.

The Spanish sergeant in the harbor was dozing off.

It's not that the most important place is lax, it's really that Chen Mu has delayed this attack for too long, so that the Spaniards have already passed the most critical time in their hearts, if Lin Feng came two months earlier, Cebu can be said to be impregnable.

But now? Since Diego led the fresh army to Cebu, the defenders here have been much more relaxed, with mercenaries watching the harbor in front of them, and even if they encounter an enemy situation, they can delay for a while, not to mention that they have a well-built fortress in Cebu, which is sure to win the attack.

Stone bastion, some artillery and muskets, enough water and food in the castle to hold the city until the besieging army starves to death!

The real war should be on the front line, places like Tayan Port, not Cebu.

This was the first place where the Spaniards landed in the East, and the first place they conquered was also here, which was built for five years, the defense facilities were complete, and there were leased warehouses for merchants to trade in the port outside the city, even if the Ming army had a great advantage on the battlefield, none of the Spaniards thought that they could capture this fortified city.

Regasby was woken up in his sleep and was about to reprimand his Filipino servant, only to find that the servant's expression was even more panicked than his own, and the castle was filled with gunshots, which were like a thunderbolt in the night.

"The cyborgs have come in?"

The servants stammered!

Pushing away the stupid servants who stood in the way and did nothing, Regasby put on a silk coat and walked out of the bedroom with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, and the valiant Spanish warriors were shuttling back and forth in the castle, both artillery and muskets were firing at the outside of the castle, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was everywhere, but he was reassured.

The organics have not yet entered the city.

"Stop them, don't let them storm the castle! Don't shoot the musketeers, the enemy is still far away, and you can't hit accurately, wait for them to land on the bridge and shoot again! ”

The chaotic spirit of the army was stabilized the moment Regasby stood on the wall, and the soldiers needed to see their leader, especially when their leader raised his torch and shouted: "You are four hundred battle-tested warriors, and I and San Petro, and no one in this world can storm this castle before you!" ”

"Your Excellency, you can't help but shoot, they have no intention of attacking the fortress!"

The captain of the heavy musketeers shouted to the Ming pirates who were running under the castle after saluting Regasby: "The places on both sides of the castle near the coast have been captured by them, three companies, they have three large teams, and we have no advantage in battle!" ”

Of course, there was no advantage, although Lin Feng's pirates were as stupid as fools in the discipline they showed in the battle of the army, it did not prevent each of them from exerting the power of a bird gun and a fire gun.

This group of landed shameless people scurried with their heads covered, and all the enemies standing on the street were knocked down at close range by their bird salvo in a single shot, and even if they did not die under the bird guns, they could not escape being swarmed and hacked to death by the Ming pirates who passed through the streets.

All the advantages of street fighting are in Lin Afeng's hands!

And Lin Feng was tired of this, urging his subordinates from time to time, and shouted loudly: "The port is burning, let's go, let's sack this city!" ”

On the low wall of the fortress, Regasby's eyes were fixed on the harbor, and the ship brought by Diego was engulfed in flames, which made him angrily curse: "These bastards actually set their own ship on fire to burn my ship, it is my ship!" ”

"Oops! Fast! Volley them, the harbor, the harbor of the stone cannon! ”
