Chapter 956: Scuffle!
Miel was awakened by the loud roar of artillery.
Shocked, he crawled to the window, and through the gap in the curtain, he saw the flames in the harbor, and a large fleet of warships was launching a fierce attack on their warships not far away.
The Spanish warships in the military port suffered heavy losses, several battleships were completely engulfed in flames, and three battleships were slowly sinking.
"What the is going on?"
Miel cursed as he buttoned up his white shirt.
Passing through three stellar and shivering women, Miel burst out the door, trying to figure out who was attacking their ship.
Heading towards the docks, Miel soon met Joseph who was approaching.
"Your Excellency the Governor, our military port has been attacked, and the despicable Dutch and the people of Dayu are now united." Joseph said urgently, now he no longer has the relaxed demeanor of yesterday.
Miel's face immediately fell, and he said gloomily: "Let the soldiers gather, since the Great Yu and the Dutch have provoked a war, our great Spaniards must let them see how powerful we are." β
"It's just Your Excellency the Governor, the current Great Chongqing Kingdom is said to be no longer the Great Chongqing Kingdom it used to be." Joseph was a little worried that the timing of the Great Yu Kingdom's attack on them was too clever.
He was very suspicious that it was their massacre of Huayan that caused the dissatisfaction of the Great Yu State.
Moreover, one of the reasons they slaughtered Huayan was that they feared that Huayan's collusion with the Great Yu State would pose a threat to their rule in the Philippines.
Miel said frantically: "Who the fuck cares what the current Dayu country is like, now they are attacking us, all we have to do is kick their ass, send them to the sea to feed the fish, listen, now gather the army, we have to keep the gains of the Spanish generations here, protect our colonies." β
"Yes." Joseph answered, and rode to the barracks.
Miel forgot to look at the inferior fleet, and his heart became more and more anxious, he rode along the coastline and cursed, let the soldiers enter the position of the shore defense guns, and opened fire on the Dayu and Dutch warships in the sea.
At sea, Yue Yun has been watching the movement near the military port, this time he led enough warships, and it was only a simple matter to destroy only twenty Spanish warships.
Seeing that the shore defense artillery began to fire into the sea, he immediately ordered the battleships on standby to destroy the coastal defense facilities of the military port, and at the same time let the marines land in small boats to seize the shore defense batteries.
It has to be said that these coastal defense guns were built in thick fortresses, and it was difficult to destroy them just by relying on their artillery.
But they were a great threat to the warships in the military harbor.
Like many military ports, the military port in Bohol was also a semi-arc, and soon the Spanish soldiers entered the shore defense facilities, and they began to attack the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom on the shore.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The artillery of both sides fired at each other in the arc-shaped military port, and the shells fired by the battleships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom brought a burst of flames with each explosion.
The Spaniards, on the other hand, used 32-pound heavy shore defense artillery to bombard the Dayu and Dutch warships.
"Damn, we really should have bought some flowering bombs from Dayu, now the people of Dayu will only laugh at us." Eric took a telescope and looked at the Spanish soldiers on the shore.
Their warships were using solid shells to bombard the shore defense guns, but this had little effect, compared to the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom, which achieved more brilliant results, as long as one shell concentrated the shore defense guns, a few Spanish soldiers would fall.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
One after another, shells from the Spanish shore defense guns flew from the shore, sawdust flew everywhere where the shells were hit, and the unlucky Dutch crew was hit by the shells, and they were directly deformed by the shells, and the blood of the stumps flowed all over the deck.
Seeing this, Eric became more and more impatient, if it wasn't for the main attack of the Great Yu Kingdom this time, they would never dare to come, because just this shore defense gun was enough to destroy his battleship.
"Login, land!"
In the confusion, seeing that the battleships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom began to lower the troop carriers, Eric also shouted that the fastest way to take out the shore defense guns was to land.
Compared with Eric's embarrassment, Yue Yun had a serious face, and after the Spanish shore defense artillery returned fire, the Spanish warships in the military port basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Most of these ships were in a sinking state, while the remaining ones were burning and could not return fire at all.
However, the Spaniards were still a threat to them from the shore defense guns, and from time to time he heard the sound of solid shells piercing the planks.
This Spanish coastal defense heavy gun was very powerful, because it was located on the shore and the barrel of the gun was long, which was enough for the gun to shoot a 32-pound shell very far.
The wooden hull of their battleship could not block the attack of such shells, and the battleships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom that were hit were often directly penetrated by the shells.
"All battleships cover the landing of soldiers and shoot." Looking at the battleship with a sawdust atmosphere, listening to the screams of the soldiers, Yue Yun's expression became more and more solemn.
This was the first time that the Great Chongqing fleet had fought against the Western powers at sea, and unlike the previous one-sidedness, they now had to bear more casualties in the war.
After all, although Spain has declined, it was once the overlord of the ocean, and its face is gone, but the foundation is still there.
After receiving Yue Yun's order, the warships of the Great Chongqing State began to adjust their direction to bombard the batteries on the shore, and in the fierce fire, the entire military port was covered in gunpowder smoke and flames.
On the coast, groups of Spanish troops poured into the coast from the Spanish royal city, and in order to form an effective rule here, there were more than 9,000 troops stationed here.
It was only at this time that more than 9,000 people were distributed on Bohol and the surrounding islands, and Miel was able to mobilize only 5,000 soldiers.
"Damn! Damn it! Knock out all the troop carriers in the sea for me! Three hundred troop transports rowed towards the coast, and Miel became more and more anxious.
Once these soldiers landed successfully, they would lose their entire colony.
At this time, in addition to the shore defense guns, the Spanish soldiers also brought in field guns, and they aimed their guns at the sea troop carriers, and after aiming, they lit the arquebuses.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Sixty field guns fired from the beachhead to the sea at the same time, and the dense shells flew towards the soldiers of the Great Chongqing State, three troop transport ships were hit, the wooden planks were directly penetrated, and the power of the shells did not decrease and rushed to the soldiers inside the ship, and immediately six soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
The rest of the soldiers gritted their teeth and their eyes were red when they saw their companions fall, and despite the fear of some of them, they rushed to the beach resolutely.
Fighting for the glory and interests of the country is their raison d'Γͺtre.
