"Are the people of the Qin Kingdom crazy?"

As soon as the 20 Spanish warships sailed into the port of Manila, there was a faint sound of cannon on the sea, which sounded very intense, and Andre, Pique and others couldn't help but be full of questions.

Could it be that the Qin people began to attack the forts in Manila Bay?

No, judging from the direction of the cannonade, it should be far away from Manila Bay, so the people of Qin are crazy?

Is there nothing to throw shells into the sea? No matter how crazy a person is, he probably won't do this, so Andrei immediately ordered someone to go out and investigate.

The person who went to inquire about the situation brought back a news that surprised Andre, Pique and others very much, that the people of Qin had actually fought with the Dutch.

Hearing the news, Andre, Peake, Thomas, including Bishop Naren, couldn't help but be beaming and elated.

"Great! It's great to let the hateful Dutch pigs and the yellow-skinned monkeys fight each other. Governor Andrei laughed.

In the eyes of the Spaniards, the Dutch are more hated than the Chinese.

During the reign of Philip II of Spain, the Netherlands had been part of Spain, and the traitors, led by William, not only betrayed the Holy See, but also co-opted radical Calvinists, launched propaganda against Spanish rule in missionary activities, and began to organize arms.

In August 1566, the war began with the destruction of icons against the Catholic Church in various parts of the Netherlands, which ended in the victory of the rebels and the deposition of Philip II.

Year 1609. Spain was forced to conclude an armistice with the United Provincial Republics, effectively recognizing the independence of the Netherlands.

The empire on which the sun never sets is declining, and the bane can be said to be on the Dutch.

If it weren't for their rebellion, the mighty Spanish Empire would not have ended up in the current predicament, and even Portugal would have followed suit and become independent.

Over the past four decades, the Dutch have risen rapidly to replace Spain's maritime supremacy, owning 16,000 merchant ships, three-quarters of the total merchant tonnage of France, Britain, Spain, and Portugal.

The Dutch had a monopoly on world trade. Merchants traveled to all corners of the five continents and were known as "coachmen of the sea".

This qiē made Spain, the former maritime hegemon, unacceptable, and hated the Netherlands to the core.

Of course, the Qin people were not good, and this time they were obviously planning to attack Luzon, and they were not good birds in the eyes of the Spaniards.

Well, now Spain's two great enemies are in a mess.

God, that's wonderful! It's best that the Dutch and the Qin people can see God together!

"Hallelujah! Let the Lord punish them! Naren felt that God had appeared to him this time.

Thoma thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency the Governor. General Peake, I don't think this is the time for us to rejoice, we should seize this opportunity. The fleet of the Qin people is too strong, and this time it is obvious that they are here to attack us. The Dutch only had six warships, and from what I have learned, now that the Qin people are very good at fighting, the Dutch will definitely fail. When the Qin people defeat the Dutch, their morale will be greatly increased, and they will definitely turn back to attack us. ”

General Peake couldn't help but nod his head and said, "What Thomas said makes sense. Your Excellency the Governor, the Qin State is a vast territory, a large population, and not far from Luzon, and if we do not defeat them first and let them attack continuously, it will be very troublesome for us, and we may even be attacked by them like the Dutch did in Taiwan. So I think we should unite with the Dutch to defeat the Qin people first, so that we can be the safest. ”

It is true that although the Dutch are hateful, they will not at least threaten Luzon, but the Qin people are different, they come with such a large fleet, clearly to occupy Luzon.

The Dutch won, Luzon is still Spanish, nothing will change.

But if the Qin people won the victory, they would have attacked Luzon fiercely in the future, which is a very shallow truth.

For the time being, the threat of the Qin people is more direct, and it can even be said that it is related to everyone's life and death.

Although Andre is quite arrogant, his brain is quite normal;

He felt that Pique and Thomas had a point, so after discussing it, they immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and leave the port, ready to find an opportunity to flank the fleet of the Qin State.

***

On the flagship of the ninth battalion, Sun Shisan's hand was cut by the broken wooden plank, bloody, but as if he didn't realize it, he continued to desperately hold the collapsed command room.

He first picked up a black blindfold, and couldn't help but cry out sadly: "General! You can't die! ”

Wu Sanpei, who was next to him, picked up one foot and immediately shouted: "Here, the general is here, quickly lift the plank, hurry"

Sun Shisan and the others immediately rushed over and moved all the planks away, but when they saw that Hai Rufeng's head was bleeding, they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

"General! General, wake up! Wake up! ”

Sun 13 shouted loudly, shaking Hai Rufeng's shoulders violently, shaking Hai Rufeng's head like a rolling drum.

It was Wu Sanpei who stopped him and probed the sea like the wind snort, "Ah! And gas, the general is not dead, the general is not dead. ”

"Quick, call the medical officer, and carry the general down."

The eight small and medium-sized warships of the 9th Battalion saw that the command compartment of the flagship had been hit, thinking that the sea was dead like the wind, and that the enemy's shells were really fierce, and four of them turned the rudder and fled.

At this moment, a huge projectile roared again, and smashed dangerously on the sea to the right of the flagship, and the splash of water splashed straight onto the deck;

Wu Sanpei and others were splashed, and in early February, the sea water was cold, so cold that Wu Sanpei struck a spirit. At the same time, he noticed that the sea like wind he was carrying suddenly struggled, "General! The general is awake, great, the general is awake, the general is awake"

Wu Sanpei let go of Hai Rufeng's feet, he shouted and jumped in the rain of bullets with a face of gunsmoke, and he was very excited, and when Hai Rufeng who opened his eyes saw this situation, he thought it was haunted? I couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?" ”

"General, are you okay, this is our battleship, General, you won't be smashed stupid, ah, General, you can't be stupid"

"Silly your mother's head!"

The roaring cannons around him quickly made Hai Rufeng completely sober up, and he hurriedly stood up, "Where's my blindfold?" What about my blindfold? "It's really dead, it's all at this time, I still remember to go to his black blindfold, as if he didn't know how to fight without a black blindfold.

"General, here!"

Hai Rufeng took the black blindfold handed over by Sun Shisan, and as soon as he put it on, he immediately roared murderously: "What are you doing here? Don't go back to your post yet, the artillery can't stop, boom! Fuck it, boom back! ”

The sea jumped like a storm like thunder, and finally gave the order to continue to turn to the left, and he stood next to the main gun in front of him, holding a command knife in his hand, and commanded the battleship to rush towards the enemy ship rapidly, and the enemy shells whistled and crossed, and he did not even frown.

The cannon fire on his flagship roared again, tongues of fire erupted incessantly, and shells whistled across the sky, smashing into the enemy ships with vengeful fury.

Zheng Sihai, who was chasing from behind, was stunned, but the two gunboats and three small and medium-sized warships that saw the sea like the wind rode the wind and waves, braved the enemy's fierce artillery fire, and rushed towards the Dutch fleet as if they were suicidal.

That's right, Hai Rufeng is really out of the way this time, and his flagship takes the lead, just like a lone wolf on the sea, with a "eight" shaped angle, moving forward.

The closer the two sides go, the more accurate the shells become, boom! Boom! The battleship was hit in succession, the planks of the ship's building flew sideways, and the deck was once again knocked out of a large hole.

Sun 13 They roared, and the artillery also roared, and immediately returned the color, and two shells hit Austin's flagship in succession, one of which hit the ship's building, almost bombarding the enemy's ship's building;

One hit the starboard side of the opponent, and once again struck a large hole, allowing the sea to rush in, and despite the water compartment, it tilted Austin's flagship. The Dutch soldiers were so shocked that they screamed incessantly and became a mess.

Next, the guns of the enemy's six battleships all fired a salvo at the flagship like the sea and the wind, and in the roaring cannon, one projectile after another roared, stirring up countless columns of water around him;

But the great danger of his life still did not make the sea like the wind change course, and he stood behind the main cannon like a statue made of steel, and the command knife was pointed directly at the enemy ship and roared continuously.

Both sides desperately poured shells, and the barrels were red.

A miracle appeared at this moment, the sea was like the wind like a god, in the fierce fire of the enemy, his flagship actually dodged the fatal blows again and again, although the upper deck of the battleship was bombarded miserably, but the power was still there, and the ship's guns were only dumb;

Until the distance of killing the enemy ship is eighty paces, you can already see the enemy's face clearly, and still do not turn, this is the strength of the collision ship!

That's right, Hai Rufeng simply wanted to hit the enemy's flagship, and his actions seemed to be very reckless, but what Westerners admired and feared the most was this kind of decisive heart similar to chivalry.

From a practical point of view, what the Dutch are most afraid of now is also a broadside battle, they have few ships and few people, once they form a broadside battle, it will be their biggest nightmare!
