Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"You know what? The great Valdes never accepts threats from anyone!"

"Not even Peter Nuys!"

"Who are you?"

Before he finished speaking, he took out a pistol from his waist and shot Yutong.

"boom!"

Youtong had never expected such a sudden change. The two were only more than ten meters apart. The bullet hit his arm directly, and the fire starter immediately fell to the ground.

He subconsciously released the fuse in his left hand and held the wound on his right arm.

At this moment, the Spanish soldiers rushed forward, kicked the fire stick away, and pinned him to the ground.

Valdes looked at him, shook his head in disdain, and said to Ling Nan'e Zhenshi.

"Go tell the Ming Navy that the great Valdes is waiting for them in the chicken coop!"

Chapter 155 The Ming Navy is the one who doesn’t know what life and death is. They actually dare to come and die!

When Zhu Youxiao saw Ling Nan'e Zhenshi returning to the fleet alone, he frowned.

"Where is Captain Yu?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi felt as if an angry lion was staring at his neck. He knelt on the deck with a plop and quickly answered.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch You has been arrested!"

Then, he recounted in detail what happened after he got ashore.

"boom!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn Spaniard, he's courting death!"

"Li Dingguo!"

"The general is here!"

"Bring the Shenji Battalion, take a small boat and approach the chicken coop under cover of night, and bombard me with mortars!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Dingguo bowed and then left the Fu ship and boarded a nearby shuttle boat.

After a cup of tea.

Dozens of shuttle boats and bird boats left the fleet and slowly sailed towards the chicken coop.

The moon on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month is very bright!

It was like a lantern shining on the sea, making the waves sparkle like a broken silver mirror.

Li Dingguo and his men, like a group of ghosts, had unknowingly arrived three miles away from the shore.

"There's a ship ahead!"

Suddenly, Wang Qianli, who was on the same boat with Li Dingguo, pointed forward and whispered.

Li Dingguo looked in the direction of his finger and saw a dark shadow looming in the moonlight on the sea ahead.

He stuck out his thumb, closed his left eye and looked for a while, then closed his right eye and looked again.

"Five hundred feet!"

"Set up the cannon!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianli and several other soldiers from the Shenji Battalion immediately took out the mortar from the wooden box.

Three mortars were set up on the deck, and after the angles were adjusted, they waited patiently.

Being on a ship is different from being on land. The waves will make the ship rock back and forth. If you fire blindly, you will not be able to hit the enemy even if he is standing there motionless.

Li Dingguo held his breath, pulled a jade pendant from his collar, held the rope in his hand, and watched the pendant swing.

After a moment, he suddenly shouted.

"put!"

"Boom-boom-boom!"

The three gunshots sounded particularly abrupt in the silent night.

The other ships following behind them quickly came over, wanting to ask what was going on.

Li Dingguo looked back and cursed immediately.

"Everyone spread out!"

"Did a dog eat all the things I learned?!"

The Portuguese must have deployed artillery on the shore. Once the mortar sounds, someone will definitely notice this side.

If they are counterattacked, the more dispersed the fleet is, the safer it will be!

Upon hearing this, the Shenjiying soldiers on other ships did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately asked the boatmen to maneuver the boats to increase the distance between them.

The small boat opposite was the night patrol soldiers arranged by the Spanish.

The moment they heard the sound of artillery fire, they became alert.

"Look over there!"

On the boat, someone looked towards Li Dingguo in the direction of the sound. The light from the mortar fire had dissipated and they could only see the outline of the ship.

Just then, a sharp scream came from the air.

"biu............"

"what?"

A Spanish soldier subconsciously asked his companion.

But before his companions could answer, they saw three black spots falling on their heads under the moonlight!

"boom!"

Three shells fell almost at the same time, two fell into the sea, and the last one hit the deck accurately.

In an instant, flames rose and debris flew everywhere, covering the entire ship.

The several Spanish soldiers on the ship had no time to react before their bodies were pierced by shrapnel.

The sudden change immediately made the Spaniards on the shore alert.

"There are enemy ships in the sea!"

"Artillery ready!"

"put!"

Just as Li Dingguo thought, someone quickly locked onto their position, and the next moment, the sound of artillery fire was heard on the shore.

“Boom boom boom boom….”

One solid bullet after another hit the surrounding sea surface, splashing water several meters high.

"Set sail! Speed ​​up!"

Li Dingguo shouted at the boatman.

The white sails were quickly raised and the angle adjusted according to the wind direction.

The shuttle boat under his feet trembled and its speed increased instantly.

Seeing this, the other ships also made the same move.

Before hoisting the sails, the Spaniards only knew that there were enemy ships here, but they could not see them clearly.

But once the sail is up, the situation is completely different.

They were completely exposed to the sight of the Spanish defenders!

The bearded man stood on the dock, looking at the dark shadows in the sea and smiled disdainfully.

"The Ming navy is the one who doesn't know what's good for them. They actually dare to come and die!"

At this time, Li Dingguo and his men were less than a kilometer away from the coastline.

But more than ten Spanish warships suddenly appeared on the sea in front of them!

All of these warships had their sides facing them, which meant that they were being targeted by a barrage of cannons!

"Order all ships to go around to the sides, avoid the enemy's guns, and fire freely!"

Li Dingguo gave a decisive order and the sailor standing on the mast took out the flag and waved it in the air a few times.

These sailors were all transferred from Zhenhaiwei and were very familiar with each other. These flag signals were also one of the subjects in their daily training.

But at this moment, the Spanish ship in front suddenly opened fire, and nearly a hundred cannons fired at the same time. The deafening sound of the cannons made everyone's heart tighten.

Then came the sound of shells hitting the water and endless sea water pouring down on top of their heads.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, a sand ship next to Li Dingguo was hit by a cannonball on the bow, and in an instant, wood chips flew everywhere. Fortunately, only the bow was damaged and no one was injured.

But this round of shelling was all.

A sufficiently dispersed fleet greatly restricted the enemy's artillery.

With a fixed gun body and solid projectile, it is simply a pipe dream to aim and hit wherever you want.

At that time, naval battles were mostly fought with ships facing each other with cannons fired at each other.

A solid projectile can only make a hole in the hull at most, but will not cause much damage to the overall structure of the warship. Only the explosion caused by accidentally penetrating the side of the ship and hitting the gunpowder can directly destroy it.

The damage is limited and the accuracy is poor, so a naval battle may last for several days.

Li Dingguo and his men had never experienced a naval battle, and their hearts were in their throats when the enemy fired.

But when this round of shelling was over and they found that the damage on their side was almost negligible, everyone was stunned.

Nima..........

That's it? !

He immediately shouted at Wang Qianli.

"Stop the boat and fight back!"

Damn, it’s less than two miles away and I can’t even hit you, so what’s the point of running!

The boatman lowered the sails and adjusted the direction of the three mortars, waiting for the waves to shake the muzzles to the right angle.

After receiving the new order, the other ships also lowered their sails and positioned their guns.

On each ship, there was a soldier from the Shenji Camp, holding various pendants made of jade or peach wood in his hands, holding his breath and concentrating.

"put!"

The sand ship with damaged bow was the first to shout the order to open fire.

“Boom boom boom boom….”

Several mortars opened fire almost at the same time, marking the beginning of the formal battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish Navy.

Chapter 156 Now that you are here, you must abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty!

In the night, balls of fire lit up on the ships and flashed away. They were the flames from the muzzles of mortars.

Fifty mortars completed the first round of firing in almost one minute.

At the Jilong Wharf, when Valdes saw this scene, the smile on his face became even more rampant.

"Hahahaha, is this the strength of the Ming Navy?"

"With just these few cannons, you want to challenge the great Spanish fleet!"

"Who gave them the courage?!"
