1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 33 Ming-Su Combined Fleet ([-])

The linen armor looked at Cao Xiong's worn sixth-grade military uniform, and was a little stunned. a big corner.But the general in front of him, with a beard and a majestic face, with a goose ling knife slung under his waist, stared at him solemnly.

"Who are you? Dare to intercept my Daming navy patrolling the sea frontier?" Cao Xiong asked in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Mabujia felt inexplicably flustered in his heart, "Return to the general of the Celestial Dynasty. The villain was ordered by the king of my family to lead someone... and lead someone to attack Luzon occupied by the Spaniards."

Cao Xiong was stunned for a moment, just relying on you little sampans to attack Luzon occupied by the Spaniards?Others just send some big boats over here, I'm afraid it won't sink your small boats directly!

"Well, attack Lu Song." Cao Xiong glanced at the skinny, dark native, "It's just you... ships?"

"Yes." Azabujia replied respectfully, "My king heard that the Spaniards were going to send a large army to attack our country of Sulu, so he sent us to attack the Spaniards on Luzon Island first, and brought back some prisoners to interrogate their army. details.”

"Have you... the country of Sulu and the Spaniards on Luzon Island have always fought each other?"

"I don't know the kingdom of heaven?" Mabujia raised his head and said, "Well, since the Naxi people gradually occupied Luzon more than 80 years ago, they have been constantly harassing our Sulu country. Especially in recent decades, the Naxi people often send ships to attack I, the fishermen of the Sulu Kingdom, sometimes land on the islands of the Sulu Kingdom, destroy our villages and docks, and take many of our villagers into slavery....It can be said that it can be said that it is evil...a lot."

"Oh, that Westerner is really abominable!" Cao Xiong nodded and glanced at Qitian out of the corner of his eye, meaning, what should we say next.

"Ask him, how far is it to the country of Sulu? Can you rest for a while?" Qi Tian said in a low voice.

"How long is the distance from your Sulu country? My navy wants to stop for a supply or two, can I ask your king's permission?"

"Go back to the General of the Celestial Dynasty, there is less than a day's journey from our country of Sulu. If the navy of the Celestial Dynasty wants to stop and supply supplies in our country, I will send someone back to the country to inform my king."

Cao Xiong nodded. Many migrants on the ship were uncomfortable at sea. Finding a safe place to stop for a day, slow and vigorous, is also conducive to the next long-distance voyage.

"This general, the Daming Navy... only sent these four large ships to visit Nanyang?" Azabujia asked cautiously.

"Of course not?" Cao Xiong said with wide eyes, "My Daming Navy dispatched more than [-] large ships to patrol the sea area. . Today, you may encounter other ships of my Daming Navy." As he spoke, his face felt a little feverish, but when he saw Qi Tian quietly giving a thumbs up beside him, he raised his head and said, "See Is this a large Spanish ship? This is my Da Ming navy who heard the news that the Naxi people enslaved my Ming people, and came here to attack its island, kill its people, and seize its ship!"

Hearing this, Mabujia was overjoyed.Originally, he was just about to ask where this big ship that looked like a Westerner came from, but now he learned that it was captured by the navy of the upper country, which is a great good thing.If he could rely on the navy master of the Heavenly Dynasty, He Chou would not be able to defeat the Westerners, and even drive them away completely.

"Woooo..." Suddenly, a warning signal came from the rear of the fleet, Cao Xiong was startled, and immediately looked back with his monocular.I saw three or four miles away on the ocean at the rear, three Spanish galleons were heading here in a column.

"The Spaniards are chasing! Uncle, are we... running?" Qi Tian asked.

"You can't escape!" Cao Xiong shook his head, "Our ship is full of people and goods, so we can't run fast." With a dignified expression, he ordered someone to wave the flag, and wanted to gather the four large ships together. field.

"Uncle, they still have more than 40 small boats..." Qi Tian looked at the linen armor who was stunned to the side.

"Huh?" Cao Xiong heard a move in his heart and turned to look at Mabujia, "This general of the Sulu Kingdom...?"

"Ah, the generals of the Celestial Dynasty follow your orders." Mabujia looked at the Spanish galleon that was approaching in the distance, and at the sailors who were busy preparing for battle, feeling a little nervous and a little excited.

"The Westerner's ship is already behind us, you and I must join hands to repel it. Now, please lead your subordinates to attack the Westerners first and entangle the other party's ship. I, Daming Navy, will cover you at the rear and wait for you to approach. And choose the time to attack!" Cao Xiong said without a doubt, posing as if he was a Shangguan of the Heavenly Dynasty.

"Yes!" Azabujia agreed, then turned around immediately, ready to disembark to find his subordinates.Originally, he was ordered to attack Lu Song, but he did not expect that the Westerners would take the initiative to attack.This time, with the help of the navy from the Celestial Dynasty, they can surely beat the attacking Westerners.

"Prepare for battle, gentlemen! Let's capture all those Eastern pirates to Manila, or send them to the bottom of the sea!" Captain Stern Malm of the Dolion put down his monocular and ordered.After chasing for three days, I finally saw the ship of the group of pirates.The ships had a deep draft and were presumably full of looted goods and people.I hope that the other party will not abandon the property and population on the ship and turn around and run away.

However, there were many small boats behind the group of pirates, presumably their accomplices.He didn't pay attention to it, it was just a group of Rong passenger ships, and they could easily be sunk into the sea from the front.

However, just as the three Spanish galleons were charging towards Cao Xiong's troops in battle formation, the group of more than 40 small boats passed through the four waiting large ships and rushed towards the Spanish fleet first.

"Fire!" The artillery of the Spanish fleet at the bow fired one after another.However, the first round of shooting was very ineffective, and all the shots were missed, causing countless waves around the boat.

The gunners of the Spanish fleet hurriedly cleared their guns for a second shot, and at the same time the hull began to turn in order to bombard the boats with the numerous artillery pieces on the flanks.

The many small boats of Sulu were scattered, but they approached the Spanish fleet with firmness and fearlessness.As the distance got closer, the Spanish fleet's artillery shots became more and more accurate.Six or seven small boats have been hit one after another, some slowly sinking into the sea with a spin, and some with thick smoke, undulating with the waves.The rest of the boats did not care about rescuing their drowning companions, but bravely continued to approach the Spanish fleet, bravely rowing their oars under fire.

Qi Tian watched the many small boats from the Sulu country rush towards the Spanish fleet. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they continued to approach the Spanish fleet without fear of death.

"Wait, it's not the time." Cao Xiong closely observed the situation on the battlefield and waved his hand to stop his men's request to attack.

Azabujia looked back at the navy of the upper kingdom of heaven. They were lined up at this time, but they did not follow him to attack.What are they waiting for?If the other party didn't turn around and run away, he would really think that the other party wanted them to die first.

"Rush over and kill these demons! God bless us!" Azabujia waved his dagger, shouted, and rushed forward.

"Oh, God, aren't these barbarians afraid of death?" Captain Sternmalm exclaimed. The other party had been sunk and injured more than a dozen ships, but they continued to charge forward without fear of death. It's time to get close to your own fleet.But they don't have artillery on board. Are they going to climb over from their boat and attack us?
"Prepare to ram these boats!" shouted the bosun.
