Chinese sailing suits can be affected by wind from all sides. As long as the angle is adjusted and the currents and wind direction is not a big deal.

If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don’t advance.

Wang Rulong predicted the prediction of the Marquis of Santa Cruz, chose the angle to wait for the other party, and suddenly fell down before the San Felipe hit.

As a result, the Kaiyuan number was inserted again between the Isabella and the San Felipe, parallel to the former and interlaced with the latter in a 'am-shaped' shape.

"fire!"

The Kaiyuan side firepower was fully opened, and the bullets were flying, making Isabella disabled.

The Felipe was also severely damaged, with the foremast and the middle mainmast shattered. Sails, rigging, lifeboats, and all things that had existed on the main deck were beaten beyond recognition by shells.

The soldiers all lay on the deck, blocking their heads with shields or wooden boards, praying not to be smashed into meat paste by the fallen mast.

On the podium, the Marquis of Santa Cruz and his soldiers tried hard to recover from the chaos. Suddenly, an emergency made the Marquis overjoyed and immediately beat the drums himself and urged the soldiers to charge!

‘The Marquis of Santa Cruz didn’t care at all. He took the helm with flying shells and wood chips, and drove the St. Philippe straight towards the enemy’s flagship!’

Cervantes, beside the Marquis, recorded his lifelessly:

‘As he did in the Battle of Lebanto, God blessed us, fortunately, to turn defeat into victory. This time, at least for now, we are still lucky. Just as the enemy's flagship accelerated and retreated and was about to pass us by, the collapsed foremast of the St. Philippe hit the foremast of the enemy ship, and the two masts were immediately hung together, and the sails and cables were wrapped in a ball.’

‘The Marquis and his soldiers were very motivated, shouting God’s blessing, and immediately hooked the enemy ship with their spear hooks, then set up pedals, and began a crazy jumping gang battle. Many sailors even rushed directly from the collapsed foremast to the enemy ship! At least at this moment, I saw Lebanto’s bravery and fearlessness again!’

~~

On the Kaiyuan name, Wang Rulong looked as usual, and even lit a cigar for the first time.

Although it is really weird to be hung by the mast that he broke, it is not surprising that any accidents happen on the battlefield.

The key is whether you have absolute strength! In the face of absolute strength, any accident will be strangled!

The Kaiyuan is not a small ship like the Haima. It has sufficient manpower and firepower to resist the enemy's jumping gang battle!

Sure enough, the Spaniards were too happy too early. Even if God helped, it was very difficult for them to even attack the Kaiyuan number in the face of the overwhelming firepower gap.

Twenty cyclone guns installed on the starboard side began to fire intensively, and even more densely packed Gatti shots, weaving them into a fire net, knocking down the Spaniards who rushed to the pedals, like cutting wheat, and then falling into the sea like dumplings.

The Marines also gathered on the starboard deck as soon as possible, but not the mandarin duck formation, but the double-line shooting formation.

The Marine Captain pulled out the command knife, the drummer beat the snare drum, and the Marines loaded the drums, compacted, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

The projectiles fired from the gun completely sealed the mesh of the firepower net, knocking down all the fish that had escaped to the nearest front.

This is not over yet...

The Marines behind the line opened the box of tea grenades, lit it with a fuse wrapped around their wrists, and threw it at the opposite side with a standard bomb drop action.

Round grenades crossed the heads of the infantry in the line and flew towards the Saint-Philippe. Some fell on the deck and exploded, while others exploded in the air. The explosion shock wave wrapped around the pieces of porcelain and iron nails, which gathered the Spaniards who were preparing to rush through the pedals, and exploded into pieces of blood gourds.

‘It’s so cruel…’ Cervantes wrote with a trembling hand on the podium of the Saint-Philippe:

‘I have never seen such efficient massacre in my military career for more than ten years. In just a few minutes, hundreds of fully armed soldiers were killed and injured under the terrifying firepower of the Ming army.’

Having written this, Cervantes glanced at the Marquis of Santa Cruz, and saw that the commander, who could remain calm in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, was calm at the most critical moment, had a face as if it was dead, his eyes were red, and his face was covered with fine water droplets. I don’t know if it was cold sweat or tears.

After the clerk recorded the truth, he recorded his thoughts at that time and said: "This is different from any previous battle. The bloody battle of Lebanto's life can exert a sense of courage and honor. However, this battle will only completely defeat people, and he will never be able to get rid of this fear for the rest of his life.'

After hundreds of casualties, the soldiers' courage quickly subsided and they were all stagnant.

The Marquis of Santa Cruz knew that his plan to seize the enemy ships by hand and hand combat was bankrupt again. The enemy's terrible three-dimensional firepower was more than enough to block several passages of Jump Gang, and it would be in vain to fill in any number of lives.

Actually, it is not. The cyclotron and Gatwood, which play the most critical role in the firepower network, both have the problem of not being able to last. If the Marquis can rush a few more times, he will find that the pressure will be much less.

But the Marquis of Santa Cruz did not understand this at all and greatly overestimated the endurance of the Ming people's firearms...

In the room, on the Kaiyuan number, Wang Rulong was about to stop the food by fire, so he held the copper horn and whispered: "Children, come on for me, seize the enemy's flagship, and let the red-haired ghosts see that our hand-to-hand combat is also worth it!"

In the era of sailing warships, it was almost impossible to completely sink a real warship, and naturally, it was impossible to use guns and cannons to eliminate the enemies inside.

To completely defeat the enemy and seize the enemy ship, you will eventually have to rely on jumping gangs to fight hand-to-hand!

‘Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick

The Marines with high morale rushed towards the enemy ships, they were born for this moment!

The previous firepower suppression had already damaged the Espanyol's circumference. The Espanyol was knocked out again. The Marines rushed to the deck of the San Felipe without any obstacles.

"They can no longer shoot!" The Marquis of Santa Cruz roared, pulled out his sword and jumped off the podium, facing the landers.

The Spanish soldiers woke up as if they were dreaming, and quickly raised their spears and swords to follow the marquis to meet the enemy.

On the deck and mast of the St. Felipe, a cruel battle between close forces started. The silent drums kept ringing, and people fought each other, slashed, or shot each other with short guns. In the small space, you went back and forth, and the injured didn't even have a place to lie down. Without exception, those who were lying down would be trampled to death by soldiers of the two armies.

However, the fierce battle did not last long, and the Marines overwhelmed the Spaniards.

The Three Talent Formation, which was born from the Mandarin Duck Formation, is very suitable for this melee in a narrow space. Marines have been trained for many years and have fully mastered its secrets, so the more chaotic the battles, the greater the advantage.

Although the Spaniards have more combat experience, they come across the ocean, and they are often hungry when they are rotten. Although trapped beasts are still fighting, waving their weapons hard. The speed of attack and the pace of their feet are all incomparable to the best condition. How can they be used to keep their energy? This morning, they ate canned meat and high-calorie staple foods?

Soon, the Ming people controlled the deck, divided and surrounded Spain, and then gathered one by one to annihilate them!

The resistance and shouts of killing on the San Felipe became weaker and weaker, but the Spanish screams became louder and louder.

He was also massacred with cold weapons, which made people even more desperate... Cervantes on the podium could no longer write, but the writer's instinct made him hold a quill pen and wrote with a snail:

‘At that moment I completely understood that we really got into trouble, an opponent we should never get into… His Majesty the King, the dream of the King of the World, it’s time to wake up.’

After he finished writing this line, the resistance on the open deck was about to end, and only the Governor's personal guard was still struggling to support it.

These veterans with excellent martial arts skills wore well-made full-body armor, surrounded by back-to-back, desperately waving heavy weapons to protect the white-haired Marquis in the middle. The Marines could not do anything to them for a moment.

"What are you doing for those things? Just give them a row of guns and be honest!" Pan Qiaoyun, deputy captain of the Marine Corps, raised his short gun.

"I'm so anxious." Macaron said with a blank look: "The other party is a marshal, and you need to give him basic respect. Control the rest first and wait for the commander-in-chief to decide what to do."

"Oh." Pan Qiaoyun had no choice but to put down his gun, shout and command the team members, occupying important positions, and sealing the hatch so that the people inside would not come up.

The podium is the best position with the whole ship's vision, so the Marines naturally would not let it go, and they also grabbed Cervantes. Guo'er did not use his ecstasy palm and surrendered.

At this time, when a marquis and guards shouted loudly, everyone looked at the macarons, meaning that they would translate and translate for everyone.

Unfortunately, Macaron's Spanish is not very good, but he can probably understand a few sentences. He was trying to make it difficult, but Cervantes first said in Chinese: "We Marquis mean that this battle is full of unfairness from beginning to end."

The coast guard officers and soldiers immediately booed.

"Tell you the marshal, soldiers are the devil. Wars are only justice and injustice, and there is no fairness or injustice!" This was Wang Rulong's voice.

"We Marquis are not complaining about anything, but we just hope that at the end of the war, we can have a fair knight duel!" Cervantes said: "He will challenge your commander according to European tradition!"

"Fuck! Why should our commander-in-chief duel with the defeated general?" The Marines were immediately furious, and Pan Qiaoyun and others raised their muskets again.

"As long as your commander is willing to fight, no matter who wins or loses, our Marquis will order all to surrender!" Cervantes whispered loudly: "How about it, can't you dare to fight with such conditions?"
