Chapter 316: Pessimistic Coquila

"Since following the general in the third year of Chongzhen, he has never fought such a tragic battle, more than 4,000 soldiers..."

In Di Wei's tiger's eyes, something crystal clear was vaguely visible. Speaking of the soldiers who died on Luzon Island, Di Wei lowered his head, and the pain in his heart was indescribable.////

Jiang Yiqin felt sorry for and comforted carefully: "The Manila Legion is considered aborted. In the short term, I'm afraid even an infantry regiment will not be able to pull out."

Jiang Yiqin's comfort came to his point, and Di Wei nodded heavily.

Strategically speaking, although the Dragon and Tiger Army suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Goutou Island, the Dragon and Tiger Army and the Dragon Guard Army took the initiative in land strategically. Whether it was attacking Manila City or capturing coastal artillery, they were invincible.

Seeing Di Wei's expression relieved a little, Jiang Yiqin asked: "Next, will it be to attack Manila or to attack the coastal turret?"

Di Wei pondered and said, "Wait a little longer, it depends on the situation at sea."

"Why is this? Whether it's Manila or the coastal turret, we're still able to get it right?"

Jiang Yiqin was shocked, his brows pounded slightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Di Wei has always overwhelmed Jiang Yiqin, which has been difficult for Jiang Yiqin to accept. After all, before following Lin Chunhong, Di Wei was just a soldier of the Qianhu House of Datian, while Jiang Yiqin was the hundred households of the Qianhu House of Zhijiang.

Jiang Yiqin always believed that his ability would never be worse than Di Wei, but Di Wei followed Lin Chunhong one step earlier.

Now, Di Wei is mysterious and said that he is on the sea and land, which naturally makes Jiang Yiqin uncomfortable.

Di Wei seemed to have no sense of Jiang Yiqin's strangeness and said slowly: "Luzon Island is surrounded by oceans. In the end, it is necessary to rely on the fleet to decide the ownership of Luzon Island..."

"This..." Jiang Yiqin's face became even more confused.

"To put it more carefully, if the Navy can defeat the Spanish fleet, we don't have to conquer Manila and the coastal turrets. As long as we siege for a month and a month, Coquera must surrender..."

Speaking of this, Diwei paused, and seemed a little reluctant to continue talking, but seeing Jiang Yiqin still didn't understand, and gritted his teeth and said, "If the navy was defeated by the Spanish fleet, even if we captured Manila and the coastal fortress, it would be useless. In the end, there is no other possibility except to escape from Luzon!"

Di Wei followed Lin Chunhong to fight south and north for many years, and was carefully trained by Lin Chunhong. His strategic vision was beyond Jiang Yiqin's comparison. He could see the key to conquering Luzon Island at a glance.

Jiang Yiqin, who went out to sea for the first time, could not keep up with Di Wei's vision? After hearing Di Wei's explanation, he suddenly realized. After a long time, he sighed and said, "We fight to the death, but we just force the Spanish fleet to go out to sea to fight the navy!"

Di Wei nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. Next, if the Spanish fleet hides under the coastal artillery, it's our turn to attack the coastal artillery..."

"As for now, let's keep your energy well!"

Jiang Yiqin turned around and felt extremely bitter in his heart. He thought to himself, it seemed that the gap between him and Di Wei was not a little bit, no wonder General Lin appointed Di Wei as commander.

Jiang Yiqin suddenly felt extremely ashamed, and kept plucking on the ground with one hand, sighing: "It's so pitiful, I've always claimed to be amazing, but I can't even see this..."

Di Wei smiled, stood up, and looked at the boundless sea, "This sea is extremely vast and extremely magical. After staying on the sea for a long time, I will naturally understand..."

Jiang Yiqin also stood up, raised his neck and looked at the magnificent sea. What's amazing is that his mood suddenly became refreshed and said, "It's so vast. People, you should really look far away. Staring at your feet, you will always be short-sighted..."

Di Wei understood what Jiang Yiqin meant. The two looked at each other and then laughed happily...

Di Wei and Jiang Yiqin could laugh happily, but Koquila couldn't even cry.

When the Spaniards in Manila saw that Delibes led more than 3,000 defeated soldiers and fled back to Manila in a hurry, the entire Manila city immediately fell into chaos. Tens of thousands of Spaniards were as anxious as the end of the world, and they were ready to escape from Manila.

Even in the Governor's Palace, the guards were extremely nervous and began to prepare to escort Koquela to escape.

Everyone knew very well that nearly 10,000 pagans were stationed outside the city and could attack them at any time and turn them into prisoners. What was even more frustrating is that more than thirty years ago, their predecessors slaughtered these pagan compatriots.

Will these pagans let them go?

At least, according to the logic of the Spanish colonists, these pagans would not let them go.

Koquela was worried, but had no choice but to lead the remaining defeated generals to maintain order everywhere, and secretly ordered Delibes to carefully protect the lives and property of the Han people in the city, and try to leave a possible retreat for all the Spaniards.

Koquera has completely lost confidence in the battle situation, although the fleet of the Three Kingdoms has not yet fought with the Bontai Navy.

The reason why he was so pessimistic was completely frightened by Bontai's calculations.

Now, Koquera figured it out. Bontai spent a lot of manpower and material resources to open the jungle path, and their goal was pointed at the coastal fort from the beginning!

In other words, all Bontai's actions revolve around the decisive battle of the fleet.

The Dragon and Tiger Army traveled thousands of miles across the dense forest path. In addition to protecting the Han people, its biggest goal was to establish a beachhead position and support the Long Guard Army to land!

As long as the Dragon Guard lands, more than 10,000 soldiers can launch an attack on the turret, completely removing the Spanish fleet's biggest reliance: the coastal turret.

Now, the Dragon Guards and Dragon Tigers are extremely smooth. They completely destroyed the Manila Legion just at the beach.

Next, as long as the Dragon and Tiger Army and the Dragon Guard are willing, it will not be a problem whether it is attacking Manila or attacking the coastal turret.

Koquela felt very upset. What kind of people were they? Are they born to be a good player in conspiracy?

For this reason, he had deep doubts about whether the Three Kingdoms Fleet could defeat the Bontai Navy.

Bontai has played so many tricks around the coastal turret. Wouldn't Bontai be more handy in targeting the Three Kingdoms Fleet?

Koquera was frustrated when she thought of the unreliable alliance of the Three Kingdoms.

Koquela prayed secretly: "The situation is not good, Potiro, you must be calm. Never let the fleet be wiped out by a moment of impulse!"

With the fleet, although we cannot compete with the Bontai Navy, we still have the capital to negotiate. If the fleet is gone, all the Spaniards will become fish that can be slaughtered.

Besides, Spain's national power is declining, and being able to retain a fleet for His Majesty the King is also loyal.
