Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1505, fiasco

Here at the colonial stronghold on Sao Tome Island, the battle between the two sides has entered a fierce stage.

The Korean and Persian coalition forces under the command of Corbanda launched wave after wave of attacks on the stronghold like life. However, facing the Spanish defenders who have geographical advantages and have been closely guarded for a long time, they can't take the slightest advantage. Cheap.

There are corpses everywhere in the open area outside the stronghold, corpses are strewn across the field, mourners are everywhere, dense gunfire, billowing gunpowder smoke, and the ground stained with blood.

Everything is telling the cruelty of this battle!

"Let's go~"

"Ready, aim, fire!"

However, Corbanda never gave up, and the army under his command lined up neatly, striding forward in orderly steps, straightened their chests with fearless courage, and pressed forward under the intensive gun attack of the Spaniards.

In the generation of musket guns, because the range and hit rate are pitifully low, dense queues can greatly increase the hit rate. This kind of queue, which seems extremely ridiculous in the eyes of later generations, is the mainstream of this generation.

The Ming Empire relied on such a queue to sweep the Ottoman Empire, which dominated the three continents, and the opponent had to sign the Erzincan Agreement that humiliated the country. Now it is also learned by the Persians and Koreans.

A large number of soldiers fell on the road ahead, but soon someone replaced them, and the formation was always intact. When they came under the city wall of the stronghold, they aimed their muskets at the city head that was not too high.

"Fire!"

With an order, billowing thick smoke enveloped the battlefield, and was quickly blown away by the strong wind.

On the top of the city, the outcropping Spanish defenders were attacked by merciless bullets, and a large number of soldiers fell head-on.

"Hold up~ Hold up~"

Duke Colster waved the cross sword in his hand, roaring continuously.

If you can't suppress the opponent's attack, and wait until the opponent breaks into the stronghold, then it will really be over. Now there is still an advantage, condescending, and the protection of the wall. The casualty ratio between the two sides is very different. Spain Has a natural advantage.

"Bang~"

Some Spanish soldiers fell down, but immediately another soldier raised his musket and launched a counterattack against the Persian and Korean queues. There was a dense and strong sound, and a whole row of people fell down below.

The Duke of Colster turned his head to look at the port again. The battle at the port was already in full swing. The Korean warships were roaring deafeningly, and shells kept falling into the stronghold.

However, the Spaniards, who were already prepared, also started to counterattack from the port defense fort. The two sides came and went, and the howling shells flew back and forth in the sky. The scene was extremely lively.

"We can't go on like this, or we'll all be buried on this island."

Korbanda looked at the attack in front of him with a telescope, but he was still unable to break into the colonial stronghold.

Without the unexpected sneak attack, the opponent is waiting in full force, and the strength of the troops is not much different. It is impossible to take down this colonial stronghold.

"Breakthrough to the port, grab the Spanish warship and leave. This may be the best choice."

He looked at the Spanish warships in the port, and then began to concentrate his forces to break through to the port, preparing to snatch the Spanish warships and evacuate here.

As long as the Spaniard's warship can be grabbed, half of the combat goal can be regarded as completed.

However, Duke Colster soon saw Korbanda's intentions and quickly ordered: "Hold on, hold on, put all the ships into the harbor and leave the dock."

"As long as they don't have a boat, they won't be able to leave here. They will die. After killing the Persians and Koreans in front of them, it will be easier to attack their colonial strongholds."

In the midst of the crisis, the Duke of Colster saw a turning point.

As long as they can hold on to the port and keep their ships, the Koreans and Persians on the island will definitely die.

They crossed the jungle and came to attack without even carrying heavy artillery, let alone other supplies. As long as they defended and trapped them firmly on the island, the rest can be cleaned up slowly.

At this moment, the two sides immediately realized the importance of the ships in the port, and both desperately started to snatch the port.

"Dong Dong~"

The Korean warships outside the harbor also started to show off. Although Liu Shunting didn't understand why he was discovered, he was well aware of the situation in front of him.

The powerful artillery on the warship shot out terrible projectiles and hit the Spaniards in the port.

The center of the tragic battle quickly shifted to the port to snatch here. The corpses between the two sides were all over every corner of the port, and the seawater of the port was stained red with blood.

Finally, with internal and external cooperation, Corbanda broke through the defenses outside the port, snatched part of the port and docks, and then began desperately to snatch the Spanish warships moored in the port.

The Spaniards also did not expect that these people who were originally sneaking on land would turn their heads and aim at their own ships. Although some of the ships had already started, they still allowed the Persians and Koreans to snatch more than a dozen large ships.

"withdraw!"

Korbanda boarded a warship and gave the order to retreat. If he did not retreat, he would really be unable to leave.

Just looking around the port, there are Spanish musketeers desperately killing them on the shore. In the harbor, the Spanish warships that have been activated have also exposed their embarrassing gun holes.

On the fort of the port, the cannons turned around and aimed at the port itself. If they wanted to get out, they would have to fight another bloody road.

"Boom~"

The battle continued, and here and there at the wharf, dense queues continued to fall with the sound of gunfire. Some of them had already started hand-to-hand combat, and the stabbing between bayonets made the battle even more tragic.

A ship full of soldiers wanted to sail out of the port, but it was riddled with shells. Every shell would inevitably kill a large number of soldiers, because there were too many, too many people. , densely packed, crowded.

As for the soldiers who did not board the ship, they were anxious and desperately wanted to board the ship, but sadly found that the ship was slowly driving away.

"kill!"

Korbanda was covered in blood, looking at a hole beside him that had been smashed by shells, he screamed vigorously.

Finally, as if feeling a huge force, a gust of wind blew, and the boat with its sails hoisted quickly walked out of the port.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

What greeted them was a dense shell attack, water columns rose around them, and the whole body was quickly splashed by sea water again, but no one cares about these now.

The Spanish warships in the harbor are attacking fiercely, and they must not watch the other side drive their ships away from here.

"Leave them, leave them, don't let them go."

Duke Colster roared, today is really too threatening.

If I hadn't just discovered them, perhaps at this moment, the colonial stronghold has been breached, the Spaniards in their sleep have been killed, and everything here in the colonial stronghold will belong to the Persians and Koreans.

Their sneak attack plan was so successful that it could be described as perfect.

But God bless Spain, now is a good time to hit the Koreans and Persians hard.

"Fire, fire, cover them!"

Liu Shunting, who had been firing cannons in the open sea, saw that Korbanda had snatched more than a dozen warships and was fleeing desperately, so he hurriedly gave the order.

"How did the Spaniards find out?"

"The original seamless plan ended in such a disastrous failure."

Looking at the port full of gunfire, Liu Shunting closed his eyes helplessly.

For this sake, there is no doubt that this sneak attack ended in failure. Even if a dozen warships can be taken away, it is very uneconomical compared to the lost troops.

What's more, whether the looted warships can come out is still a problem. Several ships have already been beaten and started to sink, and several others have been battered and riddled with holes. It is unknown how long they can last.

"A fiasco!"

Liu Shunting closed her eyes, the defeat was too miserable.

I am afraid that even if you want to hold on to the existing colonial strongholds in the future, it will be a problem. The Spaniards will not let go of such a good opportunity.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the dozen or so warships in his hands are still intact. Having warships in West Africa means having the right to speak.

Compared to Liu Shunting who was thinking about gains and losses, Korbanda was constantly wandering on the edge of life and death at this moment, shells fell around him, and holes were smashed into the boat.

However, it is still very strong, and a strong wind blows it like an arrow off the string, heading straight overseas.

"Defeated ~ defeated."

"Don't trust these North Koreans too much. If Liu Shunting leads troops directly into the port, under the attack from inside and outside, we will definitely be able to seize the port very quickly, win more warships, and let more people go smoothly. Get out of here."

"But he is timid and afraid of death, and he is afraid of losing his warship, so he insists on wandering in the open sea, not daring to enter the port."

Korbanda looked behind him and saw countless brave Persian warriors lying in a pool of blood and struggling in the sea water, but all of this was in vain.

The Spaniards behind them had no intention of letting them go. The whole world was blood-red, blood-red, and the defeat was terrible.

"The days to come will be even more difficult. With the loss of a large number of troops, how to defend the colonial stronghold will be a problem."

Corbanda's face was full of sadness, and the warship he was on finally escaped under the bombardment of artillery fire.

However, other people were not as lucky as him. Of the dozen or so warships that were robbed, only a handful of five escaped in the end. Counting the [-] people who landed, less than [-] survived.
