Chapter 312 Changes in the Dragon Tiger Army

When the soaring wolf smoke was lit on the island of Krato, Koquera stood at the highest point of the Governor's Mansion and kept looking at Krato Island from afar. He could not see Krato Island at all, but could only see the extremely dense wolf smoke.

Looking at the sky-sooning wolf smoke, Coquera was like a gambler, with a fanatical expression on her face.

Koquera's confidence in the coastal turret was far more than Potiro. He believed that even if the Bontai Navy came in full swing, it would be impossible to clear the turret near the Manila port without three or four days.

In these three or four days, even if the Bonte Navy can clear all the forts, the losses will inevitably be heavy. When Potiro returns to the Bay of Manila, he will wait for his leisure. With the Spanish fleet alone, he can send the Bonte Navy to the sea to feed the fish.

This is Koquila's calculation, and this state is in his prediction. In the entire battle situation, Manila is just a bait.

"At most day, Potiro will return, hehe..." Koquera's smile seemed extremely refreshing. While he was happy, he regretted it a little, "If I had known this, why would I have spent a huge price to invite the Dutch and Portuguese fleets?"

Coquera felt heartbroken.

He looked at the wolf smoke in the direction of Kado Island carefully, just like looking at the death talisman of the Bangtai Navy, and he liked it the more he looked.

Suddenly, he felt extremely strange. The wolf smoke on the island of Jiaduo seemed to be too strong, right?

"Those bastards! Do you want to ask for help? I don't have a soldier here! Keep your guard to the death!"

Koquila thought the guards on the island of Kardo were desperately asking for help, and was very dissatisfied and couldn't help but curse.

While cursing, Koquera kept observing the direction of Kado Island.

In his narrow field of vision, there was increasingly dense smoke rising into the sky. Accompanied by the smoke, there was another fire rising into the sky, almost burning the entire horizon.

Koquila suddenly shivered, revealing a strong chill from head to toe. It was obviously not wolf smoke, but the entire island of Kado was burning!

"It's over...it's over...it's so vicious..."

In an instant, Koquera realized that the Bontai Navy set a fire on the island of Khado, and easily and completely turned the turret on the island of Khado into waste.

As for how this fire was released, whether it was traitors or to send dead soldiers to the island, Koquela had no time to think about it. His eyes turned bloody, the muscles on his face kept trembling, and he let out a roar: "All the turrets, prepare to face the enemy immediately!"

Khado Island is only more than a hundred miles away from the Manila port. Under the strong northwest wind, Bangtai's navy will rush under the fort at most one and a half hours.

After a moment of madness, Koquela quickly calmed down. The more than 300 artillery soldiers on the island of Khado were lost, which was a pity, but it was not enough to affect the situation of the war.

In his plan, the artillery on the island of Krato was a victim, but these artillery soldiers did not even splash a wave, and their sacrifice was too worthless, which made Koquila a little unacceptable.

The overall situation has not changed. As long as the Bontai Navy continues to attack the Manila Fort, the balance of victory will still be his.

Coquila believed it without doubt.

On the commanding heights of about four or five miles away from the Governor's Mansion, the soldiers on the fort were vaguely visible. This fort, called the Vera Fort, is the largest in Manila. It has four powerful sixty-pound cannons inside, which can shoot heavy shells ten miles away. If it is shot directly, within four miles, it is extremely terrifying to the ship.

This turret is more than 50 meters above sea level and can easily control the entire Manila port. If an enemy fleet wants to destroy this turret, it may cost a heavy price.

It is precisely because of confidence in these turrets that Coquila has the courage to use Manila as bait.

Koquela stared at the fort, just like a swordsman with a belief in victory, looking at his trump card.

Just as he was staring meticulously, the sea was gone, suddenly, the message from the messenger came: "Governor General, the Dragon and Tiger Army is bypassing Manila and approaching the beach!"

At this time, when the fort and the fleet were duel, a group of ants came over to do something?

Coquila was suspicious, frowned and ordered: "Continue to stare at them and find out the intention!"

The messenger left, and Coquera continued to stare at the fort, his eyes showing a ray of enthusiasm and expectation.

The Bontai Navy did not let Koquila wait for a long time. Gradually, fast-moving fortresses appeared in Koquila's vision. This was not the first time that Koquila saw the Dingyuan ships. When these giant monsters appeared in front of him, his muscles couldn't help but tremble and sighed.

Koquila counted the number of warships one by one, but the number of warships did not exceed Koquila's expectations, which made his violently beating heart slightly calmer.

"Come on... hurry up, yes... it's like getting close at such a fast speed..."

The Dingyuan ships had no intention of stopping at all, and rushed towards the Manila port in a daze, as if they did not take the coastal turret seriously at all.

Koquera clasped her fists tightly, just like a boxer being cautious, looking very funny. His palms were covered in sweat, and even sweat beads oozing from his forehead, falling drop by drop.

It's closer, closer, only ten miles away!

This was already within the range of Vera's turret. Coquera gasped, her teeth clenched her lower lip, desperately suppressing the urge to order the gun to fire.

At this time, the hit rate of the Vera Fort was too low, and firing was almost a waste, which might scare the Bontai fleet away.

Suddenly, Koquera felt salty in her mouth, and a strong smell of blood rushed into her nostrils: he was so nervous that he bit his lips through!

The severe pain caused Koquila to calm down at least. He still stared at the Dingyuan ships, and his clenched fists slowly stretched out.

As soon as he stretched out, his heart suddenly jumped and his fists immediately clenched again, tighter than before.

The hull of Zhenyuan ship, led, suddenly tilted slightly to the east, then drew a large arc, turned to head and drove north. The ships behind followed closely and also drew a large arc, stirring up waves and constantly rippling towards the port.

Now, Koquera saw clearly that at the end of the Bontai Navy fleet, he actually followed three troop transport ships!

Coquela suddenly jumped up, "Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon...bomb these pagans to death!"

"Boom...boom..."

The Vera Fort opened fire, and all the turrets with a range of ten miles were opened. Unfortunately, iron balls rushed to fall into the water, causing huge waves, which was very beautiful!

Koquera's fear was like a poisonous snake, lingering in his heart and could not be dispelled.

The messenger seemed to think that Koquela was not afraid enough, so he rushed to Koquela and reported loudly: "Governor General, the Dragon and Tiger Army arrived at the Sesri Peninsula and began to build a simple pier!"
