1490 Rooted
Nanyang, Cebu Island, a good weather with clear skies.
Boom!
A cannonball weighing more than ten kilograms hit the hull of the three-masted gunboat heavily, causing the entire hull to shake and causing a large number of people on board to fall to the ground.
Awu hit the deck heavily, and a lump of meat suddenly bulged on his forehead. He climbed up from the deck, pointed at the Spanish warship in front of him with a fierce look and ordered: "Quick, kill them!"
The four Thor heavy cannons on the forecastle were pointing at the Spanish warship in front of them. The cannonballs had just been filled. As the speed was adjusted to a good angle, the fuses crackled and burned rapidly.
At this moment, a three-masted gunboat was chasing a Spanish warship, and the Spanish warship in front was constantly firing back, but its firepower was obviously inferior to that of the three-masted gunboat.
Boom!
The three-masted gunboat clung to the Spanish warship in front. The gun barrel spurted out a tongue of flame, and a cannonball weighing more than ten kilograms hit the Spanish warship hard, immediately punching a big hole in the deck.
ah……
A Spanish soldier lost a leg and was holding the leg that was gushing blood as he made his last cry.
Boom!
A heavy shell hit the stern of the ship, shattering wood chips flying all over the sky, and someone was knocked into the sea. However, more shells still fell to the sea, splashing a water column nearly ten meters high.
On the other side, the two ships collided heavily, and the crew members on both sides were also knocked upside down.
"Guns Team!"
Shen Jun climbed up from the deck and shouted loudly to his men.
As the words fell, a team of dozens of people gathered, raising their flintlock guns in their hands and pointing at the Spanish soldiers who were still in chaos on the deck of the enemy ship.
Those Spanish soldiers were also well-trained and reacted very quickly as they got up. When they were ready to light the red rope and shoot, the two sides launched a boarding battle.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was just that the flintlock gun here showed off its power first. When the trigger was gently pulled, lead bullets were fired at the Spanish soldiers who were less than ten meters away.
Rows of Spaniards fell, and Shen Jun took the lead. He rushed onto the deck of the Spanish warship with swordsmen and axe-hands, and chopped down the Spanish soldiers in front of him with all his strength, blood splattered all over his body.
In this flash of lightning, the two sides had already started a fierce battle. Before the Spaniards could react, Shen Jun had already led his men to rush into the enemy formation and started killing.
In this area of the sea, the two sides launched an unprecedented fierce battle. In addition to the joint fleet biting another Spanish warship, there was also a fight on the dock.
"Captain, the firepower of these Akitos is so fierce that our ship can hardly hold on!" A navigator said loudly to the captain wearing a cock hat as he watched the hull of the ship continue to be damaged.
Seeing this tragic situation, Miguel Lopez Gaspi knew that it was impossible to recapture the castle on Cebu Island. If the fight continued, I'm afraid all of them would have to surrender here.
Unlike those adventurers, he is a regular government army and is directly affiliated with the Spanish government.
Their king Philip II did not hesitate to violate the Treaty of Zaragoza with the Portuguese and sent his fleet to Southeast Asia with the purpose of sharing the spice trade here with the Portuguese.
Little did he know, he was met with a fierce counterattack by the eastern natives, especially the fleet that claimed to be the Ming Dynasty. The equipment was only slightly better than theirs, which made their plan to take root on Frostmist Island go bankrupt, let alone their plan to establish a foothold in Frostmist Island.
A new colony has been established here.
"withdraw!"
Although Miguel Lopez Gaspi felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart, seeing that he was at a disadvantage on all fronts, he could only grit his teeth and issue the order bitterly.
During this trip, their fleet had a total of five ships, and one of them hit a reef while crossing the ocean. Now, three more ships were broken here, and only one warship was left and fled towards the east.
Shen Jun had just captured a Spanish warship and was about to work together to deal with Miguel Lopez Gaspi's warship, but saw the Spanish warship fleeing towards the east.
He did not choose to continue the pursuit, but gritted his teeth and said harshly: "These Spanish gangs deserve to die. If we see them next time, I will definitely take them all!"
"Let's go back! This Spanish warship is really difficult to fight, and this battle is not easy!" Awu stood on the deck of another three-masted gunboat, with a bandage tied on his arm, facing Shen Jun shouted loudly.
The combined fleet returned to the dock. A group of people had been standing here waiting for a long time. The ground here looked stained with blood, and there were even some stumps and broken legs on the ground.
Guanghaiwei Baihu Linlei and Chief Laduhar were all decorated, and Lin Zhengyang next to him was better. It was with Lin Zhengyang's help that they were able to defend the fortress on Fukushima without giving way to the Spanish. Successfully captured this place.
"Thank you brave man for taking the initiative. Our United Business Group will remember your kindness!" Shen Jun stepped off the boat and thanked Lin Zhengyang on behalf of the United Business Group.
"I don't dare. Thanks to the help of the eldest lady, I was able to continue my journey south to find my lord! What I did today is just a small effort!" Lin Zhengyang did not dare to forget Huniu's kindness and returned the favor.
"Brother Lin, how about we come inside to talk?" Shen Jun saw that the war was over and invited him.
Lin Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!"
Due to the impact of the typhoon, huge holes appeared in the fortress here. The menacing Spanish fleet took advantage of the attack on the fortress on Cebu Island, and they once destroyed the fort, causing the place to lose its most solid support.
Fortunately, Lin Zhengyang's people happened to be here to help with the resistance, and the joint warships arrived in time, and they withstood the Spanish attacks one after another. It was not until the sea calmed down that they launched this big collision.
In this head-to-head confrontation with the Spanish fleet, the combined fleet achieved the final victory, causing the Spanish heavy losses, and they will definitely not want to invade this place again in the near future.
The warm sunshine shines on Luzon Island, and this island that has experienced many natural disasters is full of vitality again, and everything seems to be back to what it used to be.
On the seventh day, the grain ship from Guangdong finally arrived at Union Port.
