Wanli 1592

Chapter 458 Philippine Naval Battle ([-])
The Spanish's artillery was sharp and their warships were strong, while the Ming army's artillery and warships were not inferior to the Spanish fleet at all, and even surpassed them in some places.

Many crew members on the Spanish warships found that the artillery range of the Ming army was farther than theirs, and the explosion bombs were very powerful and spread over a wide range, causing them great losses.

The Spanish fleet began to show a little defeat.

The big ships attracted by the gunboats only focused on attacking the Ming army's gunboats, and the remaining warships were seized by the main force of the Ming army. The big ship, and part of it is a pursuit battle.

The number of Spanish warships was large, and the Ming army's main fleet could not resolve the battle for a while, while the Ming army's gunboats were under great pressure, and many gunboats were shot. The situation was not good.

Jiang Dahai still has two huge ships in his hands that have not attacked, one is the flagship of Zhennan Ship, and the other is Dinghai Ship, the frigate of Zhennan Ship, which is also a [-]-ton ship.

"Dahai, don't worry about me. If you want to go to war, go! The name of the Zhennan Ship is not hidden behind!"

Xiao Ruxun suddenly stood up, walked to Jiang Dahai who was watching the battle, and patted Jiang Dahai on the shoulder.

Before Jiang Dahai could speak, Chen Longzheng said in shock, "Master Hou, you can't do this. You are the Lord of Burma, and you are in danger of millions of Burmese people. It is out of line to fight in person. How can you come to the battlefield in person?"

Jiang Dahai opened his mouth, probably what he wanted to say, so he didn't say anything.

"Tilong, have you forgotten who I am? I am the number one general in Wanli, and I have come to this day step by step through my military exploits. If I were not in Ningxia, North Korea, or Burma, would I be able to have today? I am Xiao Ruxun After all, you are a warrior, so why not take the lead?”

Chen Longzheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Ruxun then said: "Dahai, hang up the handsome flag and go to battle! The Zhennan Ship is our biggest warship, how can we not fight?"

Jiang Dahai showed excitement, and impatiently gave a military salute to Xiao Ruxun: "Your Majesty is mighty! The last general will go to battle!"

After all, Jiang Dahai shouted loudly: "Everyone is here! Ready to fight!!"

The strongest battleship in Burma Town, the Zhennan Ship is ready to go to war!

Xiao Ruxun smiled, and still sat back on his chair with a relaxed look. Chen Long really couldn't stand it anymore, and the expression on his face was very strange.

"My lord, can you also pay attention to yourself a little bit? You were a warrior before, and it was your duty to charge forward, but now you are the lord of Myanmar, and the safety of millions of lives in Myanmar depends on you. It is not up to you to decide! Myanmar can live without me, Chen Longzheng, but it cannot live without Xiao Ruxun!"

As soon as these words came out, many soldiers and officers looked at Chen Longzheng and Xiao Ruxun, seeming to hesitate.

Jiang Dahai also looked at Xiao Ruxun hesitantly.

They all know that Xiao Ruxun's safety is more important than the sum of all of them. Xiao Ruxun's body is tied to the happy life of their thousands of families. Their battle is for Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun looked around at the soldiers on the Zhennan Ship, showed a very proud smile, then stood up, and said loudly: "I am surrounded by the most loyal soldiers, they will protect me, and they are willing to die for me. They have such courage, Tilong, if I don't have the courage to die, what qualifications do I have to be the Lord of Burma?"

Then Xiao Ruxun walked to the front deck, facing a large number of soldiers, pulled out his sword from his waist, and raised it towards the sky.

"If I, Xiao Ruxun, were greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not stand here today! Since I am standing here, I will not be greedy for life and afraid of death! This battleship is the strongest battleship! The soldiers on the battleship are the strongest soldiers! General I am the strongest general! I am also the strongest me! There is no reason to shrink back! Gentlemen! I will live and die with you!"

"With the total death!!!"

Jiang Dahai seemed to be infected, and raised his hand with a flushed face, and shouted loudly, the soldiers were also infected by this emotion, raised their weapons one after another, and shouted loudly: "We live together and die together! !"

"There will be a will to die, and soldiers will not be greedy for life! My navy is the strongest! Xiyi navy, jumping into the ears of a clown! Jiang Dahai! Today there is only general Xiao Ruxun here! There is no Zhennan Marquis Xiao Ruxun! Let go! Take command! I am also your general, and I will follow your orders!"

Xiao Ruxun glared at Jiang Dahai.

Jiang Dahai was extremely excited, he stared at Xiao Ruxun as if he was looking at a god, and shouted loudly: "No! Beat the drum! Blow the trumpet! Raise the battle flag! Flagship attack!!!"

The drums rumbled, and the majestic and low-pitched horn sounded. The Zhennan ship hoisted the battle flag and began to move towards the battlefield. It's time to attack, so we quickly raised the battle flag together and attacked with the Zhennan Ship.

Standing in front of the empty seat, Chen Long was looking at the man standing upright with his sword on his head, and suddenly felt an urge in his heart to stand with him, win and lose together, live and die together with him.

In the past, he didn't know exactly what kind of charm this man had, which could drive so many soldiers to fight to the death. He had never been on the battlefield with this man, but now, he finally understood why the Ming army in Burma could not go anywhere. But disadvantageous, invincible.

Not because of excellent firearms, not because of meticulous training and excellent food, but because of this man, following this man, his troops will never fail.

No matter how old or feeble he may be, as long as he can stand before the army, no one can defeat him, not the Mongols, not the Japanese, not the Burmese, not the Spaniards .

In this battle, there is no suspense, Ming will win.

That being the case, is there any reason for me to hide behind and shrink back?
Chen Long smiled self-deprecatingly.

What nonsense Wenquxing, what nonsense scholars, standing here, there are only soldiers, only soldiers.

He reached out and took a gun from a soldier beside him, walked to Xiao Ruxun's side, held the gun, and looked ahead.

"Why, won't you stop me?"

Xiao Ruxun's voice came over.

"You are the Lord of Burma, so what if I stop you? Will you listen to me?"

Chen Longzheng's voice sounded a little helpless.

"Hahaha, I'm right, of course I won't listen to you!"

"That's it, I know you're right, so I'm here too, I'm wrong."

Xiao Ruxun turned his head to look at Chen Longzheng, the corners of his mouth twitched, then he turned his head and looked ahead.

The heart of the army, the heart of the generals, the hearts of the people, and oneself are all tightly held in the hands, what else can't be done?
