The Spaniards fled from the West Gate to the port, He Qingyuan and they didn't chase them, and the others had twenty warships, as long as one salvo was enough, it would be enough for you to have corpses all over the field.

The frightened Spaniards quickly lifted anchor and set sail, and in the bleak twilight began to sail out of Manila Bay;

The twenty ships were brightly lit, women and children were crying, and the soldiers were nervously prepared, knowing that they were not out of danger at this moment, and that there were more terrible enemies waiting for them beyond the harbor.

Before André could wipe the soot from his face, he reluctantly glanced at the city of Manila in the twilight.

In 1521, the Portuguese Ferdinand. Magellan was ordered by King Charles V of Spain to lead an expedition to find a new colony to reach the Sultan of Sulu, and when they set foot on the archipelago, it coincided with a Catholic religious holiday, so they gave the archipelago a religious name - the San Laharu Islands.

Later, Magellan was killed by the local natives because of his interference in the internal strife on the island, and the name of the island he gave was forgotten.

In 1542, the Spaniard Lopez was the second to come to the archipelago after Magellan.

In order to show off the "merits" of the Spanish empire, this archipelago was named the Philippine Islands after the Spanish crown prince Philip.

Since then, Spain has occupied the land for hundreds of years.

A year ago, André had traveled from Spain to the most distant colony of the Spanish Empire, ready to continue to rule the land in the name of his Heavenly Father.

But only half a year had passed, and he had to flee in a wolf manner, and he didn't even bother to take the belongings of the city.

Looking at the city of Manila in the firelight, André almost burst into tears, realizing that the Spanish Empire was probably going to lose this colony forever.

Great Qin, a vast empire in the East. The empire, which is larger than all of Europe, has stretched out its sharp dragon claws, rolled up monstrous waves, and let out a sonic dragon groan.

If this empire goes all out to the ocean, I am afraid that the combined strength of the whole of Europe will be difficult to compete with it, this dragon is too huge.

What he saw today, Qin Jun's musket and the amazingly powerful small artillery, like a dream demon, made his heart palpitate.

Once one or two hundred people could defeat the Spaniards of a country. Under the attack of the Qin army, it was impossible to hold the city of Manila for a day.

If you want to run back later, it will be even more impossible.

With extremely mixed feelings, André took one last look at the city of Manila. For the breakthrough, he is still relatively confident, twenty warships, this is almost all the strength of Spain in the Far East, even if it cannot defeat the fleet of the Qin State, but it should not be a problem to break through in the night.

Under the command of General Peake. All the Spanish soldiers were in their positions, ready for the fierce naval battle that was bound to come, and twenty warships lined up and sailed towards the entrance of the harbor.

bay. The waves snapped against the reef on the shore, and a bright moon shone on the water, sparkling silver. There was a calm.

Six or seven miles away from the exit of the bay, Thomas, who was sailing at the forefront, suddenly found that there were dark shadows in front of him. There was no light reflected from the moonlight on the surface of the sea.

"Get ready to fight! Ready to fight, the enemy is in front, right in front! Thomas cried out.

Suddenly, a large area of fire lit up a mile away, and under the light of the fire, the black battleships appeared like ghosts, with clear outlines in front of them.

Hundreds of warships, large and small, blocked almost the entire exit of the bay.

"Turn the rudder right!" Thomas quickly ordered the ship to turn around and prepare to take a zigzag course so that the broadside guns could be used.

At this time, the Qin warship heard the earth-shattering sound of golden drums, which shook people's scalps, and the large gunboats of the Qin army also walked in a zigzag shape;

The small and medium-sized warships, on the other hand, broke away from their own formations and, like wolves in the night, swooped down on both sides of the bay towards the Spanish fleet, many of which had no torches at all, faintly in the moonlight, and at great speed.

As soon as the huge ships of both sides came into range, they did not hesitate at all, and opened fire almost simultaneously.

Rumble! Boom Boom!

There was a loud bang, which shook the waves of the bay, and the tongues of fire were particularly dazzling in the night, and the invisible cannonballs streaked across the sky and smashed down on the sea. The white columns of water rushed up, and the water was like a dragon churning.

The number of artillery pieces put in by both sides was close to 200, and the sound of cannons was endless, and the smoke of gunpowder soon made the firelight on the other side's ship become a blur, and only the shells flying across the night sky kept falling.

Thomas looked awe-inspiring, Spain could not afford to lose, if it lost these twenty warships, Spain's strength in the east of Africa would be lost more than half, and I am afraid that even the ports along the way would be difficult to control.

However, Thomas was afraid of something, and in the second volley, he only heard "Bang! With a loud bang, his bow was hit by a projectile, and the whole ship was shaken;

The bow planks flew around, the foremast was broken, and the entire spinnaker fell into the sea, dragged by ropes, leaving his battleship almost without the power to move forward.

The affected soldiers fell to the deck in blood, screaming and screaming.

"Cut the rope, cut the rope of the spinnaker!" Thomas shouted excitedly, and several soldiers rushed forward with knives and axes to cut the rope dragging the spinnaker.

Just losing the spinnaker would make their ships very slow down against the wind, and it wasn't just his ship's problem, unless he abandoned his ship, the speed of the entire fleet would be slowed down by his first ship.

It's just that the foremast is broken, and it can't be repaired quickly at all, and Thomas is desperate in his heart, so he can only order twenty guns on the starboard side, and fire desperately, constantly spraying flames, and there is hardly a pause.

As the two sides entered a distance of two hundred and fifty yards, and the waves in the bay were relatively small, the accuracy of the shells became higher and higher. The first ship of the Qin army was also shot, and the cannonball first knocked a soldier into the sea, and then smashed on the mast, boom, the mast was broken instantly, and the huge black sail fell with a bang,

The other ships were also shot, and it was difficult to see too many tragic scenes in the night, but the loud bang was enough to make people startling.

The Spanish warships were also under the fire of the Qin army. They were shot one after another, and the ship screamed and the planks flew one after another, and the momentum was extremely alarming.

This naval battle, because it was in the bay, was particularly tragic, one of the two sides had to rush out, and the other had to desperately block it. It's just you who lives or dies.

The roaring cannons shook the whole bay, and the spurting fire was like a demonic fire, and the flying cannonballs shattered the moonlight in the sky, and every moment there could be fatal cannonballs falling from the sky, smashing like a tide of screams, and flesh and blood flying.

In order to avoid the artillery fire of both sides, the small and medium-sized warships of the Qin army had to detour from both sides. At this time, it finally came from killing;

Especially those small warships, because of the relatively shallow draft, are not afraid of running aground, and do not light torches at all. It was like ghost ships that had reached a few dozen yards away from the Spanish fleet before the soldiers on board carried rockets one after another.

Beams of flame appeared out of thin air, shooting like comets towards the Spanish warships.

Rumble! Boom!

Three loud bangs in a row. Three huge fireballs lit up the three Spanish warships in the night;

One of them was hit on the port side, and the violent explosion instantly lifted a large part of the ship's board on the port side, and at the same time detonated the entire barrel of propellant from the port side gun. The explosions continued, and the sound shook the world.

The poor battleship was like paper, and the entire port side was almost blown away, and the sea rushed in, causing it to tilt quickly to one side.

The other two hit the upper floor, blowing up a large part of the ship's cabin, and the flames burst out, quickly igniting the battleship and illuminating the sea in a clear light.

The damage caused by the yellow explosive-filled rockets to the wooden hull is terrifying.

Governor André saw this terrible weapon again, and he was really heartbroken, according to this situation, let alone rushing out, I am afraid that in less than two tea efforts, all 20 Spanish warships will be buried at the bottom of the sea.

Such a battle had never been encountered by the Spaniards who had been rampant at sea for more than a hundred years, and looking at the three warships that had been bombed and burned, all the Spanish soldiers almost lost the courage to continue fighting.

It's just that Andre and Pique were not willing to accept defeat and ordered to continue to break through, and the naval guns still kept firing and bombarding.

Some small ships of the Qin army were bombarded, bang! Boom! The loud bang was deafening.

It was already dark in the bay, and under such heavy artillery fire from both sides, the thick smoke of gunpowder almost made people blind, unable to distinguish anything. The Spaniards could not see the Qin army's and shot blindly at the sea.

The small warships of the Qin army haunted in the smoke of gunpowder, like a night wolf, seeing that the Spaniards were still resisting hysterically, and no longer showed mercy, and several rockets whistled away;

Rumble! Boom!

In the vast fog, several huge fireballs appeared again, three Spanish battleships were shot, one of them was hit by three rockets in succession in the middle of the battleship, the fierce shock wave swept the ship's building, the Spaniards on the ship were lifted into the air, the tall mast snapped down, and pressed on the sea;

Then the powder keg hoarded on the ship was ignited by the fire, and the whole battleship exploded continuously, and under the raging explosives, the middle of the battleship began to click and crack, and soon broke, and the raging sea water poured in, and the fire hull was slowly sinking.

Even the Spanish military commander Pique had never seen such a tragic scene, and in these years, everyone mostly used solid shells, although such shells can also cause severe damage to the hull, but it is impossible to bomb the entire warship in two.

By this time, the Spaniards had already lost the ability to sail six of their warships. In the entire bay, the shouts of the Qin army forcing to surrender sounded, and the sound shook the sky.

The Spaniards, who had once been invincible, were desperate in their hearts, and first stopped the shelling, the sea breeze blew away the gunsmoke, and the countless warships of the Qin army in front of them were like city walls, blocking the exit of the bay.

A white flag slowly rose on Andrei's flagship, and under the light of the fire, the white flag was as white as the face of the Spaniards!

The small and medium-sized warships of the Qin army swarmed up, cheering and cheering to take over the prisoners and control the enemy ships.

After being busy for most of the night, when the sun rose the next day, Hai Rufeng rushed to put a big flag with the word "Qin" on the head of Manila, and the flag reflected the rising sun, hunting and showing in the sea breeze.

Looking back at the bay, the warships of the Qin army covered the sea for ten miles, and the innermost part was more than ten captured Spanish warships, and the governor Andre, the military commander Pique, and the bishop Naren were tied with ropes, and the Spanish ordinary soldiers were in a long line and escorted into the city.

The sea is like the wind facing the rising sun, standing high at the head of the city with his arms outstretched, and shouting proudly: "I have come, I have seen, I have conquered!" ”

His shouts, along with the cheers of the Qin army, resounded throughout the city of Manila.
