Chapter 560 Headshot directly, making Xiyi's blood flow like a river!

Today's Dongpeng Prefecture is not an island group without soldiers stationed, and even the number of soldiers has been increasing, and even Ming has established a complete coastal defense system.

It's just that many Xiyi people who are used to running amok on the ocean have never changed their pirate thinking, and they have always maintained a conqueror's attitude, so they will always break into a country's restricted area rampantly, like robbers. The same, brutally and simply robbing houses.

When Huangshan Town encountered a large number of Western barbarians invading, many officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty quickly reacted and began to gather towards Huangshan.

First of all, more than [-] warships from the officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy, led by Chief Qian Li Cheng, sailed towards Huangshan Town in an arc, and first surrounded the Xiyi warships parked at the ferry of Huangshan Town.

dong dong!

And Xiyi, who was staying behind in the Xiyi warship parked here, has also noticed the officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy, and began to hastily send people to notify his own people who rushed into the town, and at the same time began to fire artillery in an attempt to stop the Ming Navy Navy .

"Fire! Bomb these heretics to death!"

There were Xiyi officers roaring on the boat.

The navy of the Ming army also used the bronze cannons on the bow to fight back, and at the same time actively approached the Xiyi warships against the shells.

These sailboats used by the Spanish colonists were the famous Manila galleons in history. The ships were big and cannon, which made people feel quite horrified and chilled.

However, Li Cheng and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Navy under his command had contact with this kind of big ship, and they were not very afraid, so they didn't stop because of the other side's firing.

Li Cheng himself also shouted at this time: "Rush over! Don't be a fucking coward! Whoever dares to retreat will kill the commander on the ship!"

The bird boats of the Ming army rippling on the waves therefore let those who sailed through the sea with hard sails and hit the masts, and proceeded to the ferry of Huangshan Town without hesitation, and it didn't take long for the three bird boats to be captured. The price of the sinking rushed into the offshore area in the port, narrowing the area of ​​movement of these large sailing ships.

At the same time, the navy of the Ming army also used divine fire and flying crows to burn the soft sails of these large sailing ships.

And then many officers and soldiers began to approach these Xiyi galleons in their bird boats, throw their hooks and board the ships to prepare for the battle.

Xiyi on the sailboat was very panicked, and hurriedly lined up with heavy-duty matchlock guns to shoot, causing many Ming soldiers to have a big hole in their bodies when they were hit by this bullet, and fell directly into the sea when they were clinging to these Manila sailboats, like dumpling in soup Ordinary, and it didn't take long for the sea area to be dyed red.

Seeing this, Li Cheng frowned.

He only hated that his rank was not high enough, and he was not qualified to lead a double-decker big bird boat. The keel of that kind of big bird boat was connected with tall pine wood from the Daxingan Mountains in Andong, and the size of the bird boat could be as long as twenty feet, which was almost the same as that of Zheng He. Treasure ships in the Western era were as big as they were, with more than [-] cannons and large blunderbusses. It is completely unnecessary to let soldiers climb the ship to fight because of the small size of the ship as it is now.

That's right, Li Cheng's naval fleet in charge of offshore patrols doesn't have very big ships.

The real big bird ships were either defending important ports such as Quanzhou, Dengzhou, Dinghai, Haojing, and Guangzhou, or they were used as ships for senior generals.

However, Daming is also building more large ships, but because large ships have high requirements on technology and materials, few ships are launched every year.

The main warships responsible for the coastal defense of non-important areas in the offshore area are basically single-layer bird ships with a length of seven feet.

Therefore, in many cases, after meeting the Xiyi galleon, the navy still needs to join the ship and climb the ship to fight, which will increase a lot of casualties.

Although Xiyi's Manila galleon was larger than the single-layer bird boat under Li Cheng's command, so that the Xiyi musketeers could do a lot of damage to the attached Ming army on board, but the Ming army's navy was particularly tenacious under the supervision of strict military discipline. There are still many of their relatives and family property here, so they keep climbing the boat.

At the same time, the artillery on the bird boat continued to bombard these galleons. One galleon couldn't bear it, and before the Ming army could climb up, it broke a big hole and was poured with a lot of sea water, and began to sink into the sea.

On land, the Ming army infantry who came to Huangshan from other places had also exchanged fire with the musketeers from Xiyi.

The sound of bang bang began to ring non-stop throughout Huangshan Town.

A Xiyi musketeer was massacring Han people door to door on the north side street of Huangshan Town, but was shot in the head by the Ming army gunmen who rushed over, and he lay down on the street in a daze.

A small group of Xiyi musketeers were also wiped out on the spot after encountering a squadron of infantry from the Ming army.

In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army also began to enter various houses to rescue people. When they saw Xiyi musketeers killing people or raping women in the houses, they directly shot them to death on the spot.

And Xiyi Colonel Pedro led [-] Xiyi musketeers and [-] Japanese mercenaries to the Ming army station in Huangshan Town. He had just fought with the Ming soldiers here, and the number of them was far less When the Ming soldiers on his side captured some Ming soldiers, they quickly withdrew to the sea because they saw the wolf smoke igniting.

After Pedro withdrew, he hurriedly asked Captain Maquina to leave behind a hundred Xiyi musketeers and a thousand Japanese mercenaries, and he led the rest of the officers and soldiers to board a ship that was still intact and was waiting for him to go up. Manila galleon.

The Manila galleon rushed out first.

The rest of the Manila galleons also turned around one after another, preparing to flee.

"what a pity!"

"These heretics obviously have a complete coastal defense. Before we have time to kill all the heretics, capture all their soldiers, and ask about the situation, we have to withdraw!"

Pedro slammed his fist on the mast when he fled, expressing his regret to Captain Velasco, the commander of the Manila galleon, for not being able to complete Tujuan Township.

Velasco also said helplessly at this time: "I hope we can withdraw as soon as possible. We obviously underestimated the troops deployed by these heretics of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it is also more certain that they are indeed preparing to invade. the domains of our God in every part of the world."

Pedro nodded, and looked at Maquina who was blocking Ming soldiers on the land.

At this time, Maquina and his infantry had already formed a small-scale Spanish phalanx. The spearmen and musketeers formed a hollow formation respectively. The heavy muskets are supported by poles, while the musketeers holding light muskets are behind, followed by the spearmen, holding their spears flat, like the fangs of a beast, waiting for the arrival of the infantry of the Ming army.

Boom!

As soon as the infantry of the Ming army came over and saw this formation, they also began to change from a small three-talented formation to a three-talented formation, and the heavy matchlock gun invented by Zhao Shizhen, the wind-chasing blunderbuss, was placed at the front, like a cannon. Xiyi launched an attack.

Here, the Xiyi Musketeers also fired their guns after the Ming army came within range.

For a moment, both sides were filled with white smoke.

Officers and soldiers on both sides fell down, clutching their wounds and rolling and howling in the thick smoke.

But more and more Ming troops came. At the same time, the Frang machine and mother cannons pushed by the chariots also pushed over at this time, and first bombarded the Manila galleon that was in charge of supporting the broken Xiyi infantry. , to cut off the retreat of these Xiyi infantry.

At this time, the sacred fire flying crow was also ignited by the infantry behind the three-talented formation, and shot at the Manila galleon.

Soon, the jibs of the Manila galleon were bursting into flames.

The cavalry of the Ming army on the two wings had also outflanked them at this time, holding up the three-eyed blunderbuss and smashing it, cutting off the way back.

Seeing this, the only Manila galleon that had not set sail to meet Maquina and the others set sail decisively, gave up the response, and tried to escape as soon as possible before the jib burned out and the mast was hit by the artillery of the Ming army. here.

For this reason, the crew on this sailboat has begun to pour water desperately to fight the fire.

And at sea.

Li Chengzheng commanded his navy officers and soldiers to climb the ship and fight Xiyi bloody, but he saw that two of the seven Manila galleons that came here were starting to turn around and retreat, and five of them did not leave because three of them were killed. The Shenhuo Flying Crow burned the soft sails and lost speed, and let the Ming army board the ship. One was still parked at the port and was ready to respond. He immediately ordered to prevent these Manila galleons from escaping, and the other was sunk by artillery fire.

As a result, more than [-] warships under Li Cheng's command chased after them, and at the same time, when these Manila galleons turned around and were about to retreat, they bombarded them violently and fired more godfire crows. past.

As a result, two Manila galleons were sunk and could not be evacuated.

When the last Manila galleon that was preparing to pick up Maquina was about to turn around, it was blocked by more than a dozen fast centipede ships from the Ming Army Navy who rushed over. More divine fire crows and cannonballs flew to their warships.

But the Manila galleon and another galleon that Pedro was on broke through and fled to deeper waters.

The warships of the Ming army immediately chased after them, and more than [-] small and convenient sailing boats chased the two galleons like nimble and fast sharks.

But Xiyi's soft-sailing boats are indeed fast, truly like an arrow leaving the string.

Therefore, in the end, only one soft sailing boat was blocked by the chasing wave boat, and the reason why this one was blocked was that he was unlucky. By the time all his soft sails and even the mast caught fire at the end, he lost a lot of power.

Only Pedro's ship escaped by chance.

Maquina is still fighting on land.

But his stubborn resistance was in vain, and more and more Ming army infantry had surrounded him and his infantry regiments.

At the same time, there was no longer a ship of his own army at sea.

At this time, the Ming army did not take the initiative to attack, but just surrounded and sent interpreters to call these Western barbarians to surrender.

Maquina finally chose to surrender, and after seeing Guerrilla Tong Yuanzhen and Li Cheng, he said: "I hope we can spare our lives, for the sake of His Majesty the Holy Roman Emperor."
