With the continuous bombardment of rounds of shelling, the city of San Salvatore no longer had any value of guarding, and Lieutenant Arthur and Liu Shouyou were lucky that they were not killed. They took their surviving men and escaped from the ruined city of San Salvador.

Liu Shouyou directly beckoned the remaining nearly 100 of his subordinates to crawl out of the collapsed ruins and want to board some seagoing ships to escape from here. But as soon as they rowed out of the shore, a gray iron boat drove on the opposite side, which looked somewhat similar to the huge iron ship, without sails and oars, but it drove very fast, which frightened Liu Shouyou and his group of pirates.

The iron ship blocked their path and began to spew out clusters of fire, with a "thud...... Bang bang ......" A dense and dull sound sounded, and a wooden sea ship rushing to the front was instantly shattered.

Liu Shouyou's ship was also swept several times by a dense burst of bullets, and although the ship was not destroyed, Liu Shouyou watched as one of the pirates beside him was beaten in two. He looked at the bloody puddle of minced flesh on the deck, and his heart was terrified.

Immediately followed by a more dense rain of bullets enveloping them inside, and the pirates on several wooden ships were knocked down one after another, Liu Shouyou covered his head and curled up in a corner of the deck, which escaped the catastrophe.

But the pirates on several ships were almost dead and wounded, and with a violent roar, the gray iron ship slowly approached, and several men dressed in colorful clothes jumped onto their ships.

"Ah......h

A fierce pirate burst out of a corner, and a tall soldier pulled out a short musket and knocked the pirate upside down in an instant. Liu Shouyou let go of his grip on the scimitar, he knew that in the face of such an opponent, any resistance would be useless.

He slowly stood up and walked over to the men. A man in a steel helmet, holding a short hammer, pointed at him and shouted, "Lie on the deck with your head in your hands." ”

Liu Shouyou put his hands on top of his head according to the other party's request, and then his hands were tied and thrown onto the iron ship, he looked at the brothers who were alive around him, and his heart was full of endless sadness, it turned out that there were three hundred old brothers who had been floating on the sea for many years, and now there were only about twenty left.

Lieutenant Arthur took the surviving Spaniards and indigenous Filipinos and ran in the other direction of Sheliao Island. They had a sailboat there, and there was a wooded area nearby, and they had to stay alive if they hid before the enemy who landed arrived.

But they had barely gone far when hundreds of pirates appeared in front of them, and two roaring monsters rushed to the front. Lieutenant Arthur knew that they had nothing but desperate life now, and that there was only one way to die if they stayed here.

He turned around and shouted, "God is with us, kill all the infidels, rush ......"

A group of Spaniards stared at the pirates with red eyes and weapons in their hands. The two monsters in the distance suddenly emitted bursts of dense flames, and more than a hundred Spaniards were swept into a large area in an instant.

Lieutenant Arthur was rushing forward, and suddenly felt as if his body had been hit hard by something a few times, and then his body flew backwards, falling heavily on the ground, watching the Spanish soldiers around him fall one by one, his consciousness slowly dissipated.

A group of pirates rushed over, waved their weapons, and killed the wounded Spaniards, and even dozens of Spaniards who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy did not escape from their poisonous hands.

Zhou Cheng looked at the city of San Salvador, which had become a ruin in the distance, and shouted into the headphones: "Stop shelling, stop shelling...... Let's go up and choose a suitable place to make a stall.

The battle ended in less than an hour, and in addition to capturing a few dozen surviving pirates, the Spaniards defending the city of San Salvador were wiped out, and a large amount of food and ammunition was found in the city, enough for the Spaniards to hold out for a year, but now all these supplies fell into the hands of the Far Eastern Company.

Zhou Cheng asked people to bring those pirates up, he knew that these people must be Zheng Zhilong's people, so he just took the opportunity to interrogate the first trial, which was a reason. The paralyzed one just took the opportunity to beat you guy, although it is still too early to kill you, then he will also be beaten so that he can't take care of himself.

"Who are you? How can you be in the castle of the Spaniards, don't tell me that you are the people. Okay, I'm in a hurry, whoever says first, if you dare to fool me, I'll kill you. ”

Liu Shouyou thought for a while and stood up, he said lightly: "We are Zheng Da's subordinates. Spain paid a high price to help them defend the city, and I thought the price was quite high, so I hid it from our family and brought my brothers. ”

Zhou Cheng listened to his words, laughed and said, "You Zheng Da have even helped you think of the reason, haha...... We don't care so much, since you are Zheng Zhilong's people, then he can't escape from it, that's why we went to war, haha......"

Liu Shouyou was anxious when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with our big boss, it's all my own idea, why do you start a war with our big boss." ”

Zhou Cheng glanced at Liu Shouyou and said with a smile: "We just lack a reason, and now we have it." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left here, then took the microphone from the hand of the communications staff officer next to him, and said loudly: "Lao Ding, how are you there?" I was about to leave, and I left the landing craft and two jeeps and a couple of sea boats here. ”

"Go ahead, I'm busy, paralyzed, the delta-wing plane will take an hour to assemble."

Zhou Cheng connected to Song Tao again and shouted into the microphone: "Song Tao, the city of San Salvador has been razed to the ground, and I will bring troops over to support you." By the way, we found enough supplies in San Salvador to last a year, and Lao Zheng also sent 300 elite pirates to help defend San Salvador. Zheng Zhilong is in a hurry, let's not be polite, let's beat him. ”

"I'm ...... You're fast enough. It's only been a little while, and the fleet hasn't reached Tamsui yet, and you're done fighting there. Since Zheng Zhilong doesn't know what to do, let's cripple him. When you arrive in Tamsui, don't be in a hurry to show up, wait in the sea outside the mouth of the Tamsui River, I guess he may send a fleet to pick up the bargain, and when they appear, we will attack from both sides and take them by surprise. ”

Song Tao put down the microphone, and Liu Baoguo next to him walked over and said suspiciously: "Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to simply destroy Zheng Zhilong at once, so that he can find trouble every day." ”

"It's easy to kill him now, but we lack a figure who can explain things on the southeast coast. Last year, the major forces on the southeast coast had been almost swept away by him. Xu Xinsu, Li Qikui, Yang Liu, and Yang Qi all died in his hands, and now I am afraid that only Chu Cailao and Liu Xiang have not been exterminated by him.

Without Zheng Zhilong, it would be more troublesome for us to integrate Fujian's maritime merchants by ourselves. So this time, hit him hard, hurt him thoroughly, and try to subdue him again, and rely on him to maintain our trade routes in Fujian. Judging from Zheng Zhilong's table in history, this guy may be pasted. ”

"Report, the fleet has reached the sea near the mouth of the Tamsui River."

The staff officer next to him loudly reported the position of the fleet to Song Tao, who was in the wheelhouse of the landing craft, picked up the binoculars and observed for a while, and then ordered the people behind him: "All troops are looking for a suitable place to land on the Tamsui River, and first surround the city of Santo Domingo." After the landing craft sent us ashore, they patrolled the Tamsui River, and the boat that was still dangling in the Tamsui River at this time was certainly not a good bird, and the suspicious boat was sunk on the spot. ”

After receiving Song Tao's order, the ships began to find suitable places to land one after another. The first to rush was the landing craft, and all the personnel of the special combat team, a jeep and a 105-mm recoilless gun, rushed to the east bank of the Tamsui River, quickly occupied several advantageous positions nearby, and guarded the follow-up troops.

Song Tao and a group of staff officers then stepped off the landing craft. The staff team walked down with several large boxes, two octocopter drones, controlled by several officers and soldiers of the War Department.

They disembarked, found a suitable spot, and set up the equipment. Two diesel generators were activated, a group of staff officers set up camouflage tents, and communications equipment, unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring stations and other equipment were put in place one by one.

Two octocopter drones were the first to take to the skies, one over the city of Santo Domingo and one on alert around the Tamsui River. Song Tao and a group of staff officers stood next to the drone monitoring station to observe the situation in Santo Domingo City.

At this time, the city of Santo Domingo was already busy, and the Spaniards knew that the Far Eastern Company was coming, and Valdés was nervously arranging the city defenses. Now there are more than 200 Spanish soldiers in the city of Santo Domingo, and more than 700 elite pirates under Zheng Zhilong. With the mobilization of forces, the number of defenders of the city has reached more than 1,500 people.

Artillery and arquebuses were also plentiful, and ammunition and food reserves were enough to hold out in the city for nearly a year. Moreover, the city defense has also been continuously strengthened, which can be said to be impregnable. Valdes stood at the head of the city, holding binoculars and observing the brigade of the Far Eastern Company, landing one after another by the Tamsui River.

A pirate next to him put down his binoculars and said with a smile: "Captain Valdes, although there are a lot of people from the Far East Company, they only have five large plywood ships, and the remaining dozens are bird ships and Guangzhou ships. There is not enough artillery, and it is a dream to take this place with a large number of people. ”

Valdes also smiled and said, "Xiao, the Far East Company can capture the royal city of Manila and defeat the kingdom army twice, it is definitely not easy for you to deal with." We must not be careless. ”

This pirate Xiao Zhong is also an old pirate under Zheng Zhilong. He sneered and said, "We are so well prepared, even if we have 10,000 people, we may not be able to capture here." ”R1152
