Chapter 456 Philippine Naval Battle ([-])
The Ming army boosted their morale and spirit, and launched an attack on the powerful Spanish navy even more bravely.

On the opposite side of the Ming army, Giovanni, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish and Philippine Fleet, who was being beaten by the Ming army's gunboats, was dizzy and dizzy. Let's fight!
Giovanni hadn't solved the harassing battle of the Chinese gunboats when the main warships of the Chinese navy came over there. He was shocked and immediately ordered several warships to meet the main Chinese warships, delaying for a while so that he could concentrate Superior firepower wiped out this Chinese fast gunboat fleet.

Damn it!Where did these Chinese learn the tactics of the British? !

He is very angry!
"Sir! Watch out!!"

When he was angry, a subordinate suddenly flew over and threw him to the ground, and then he heard a loud noise, and a strong air flow suddenly rolled up around his body, which made his ears ring with tinnitus. As for his brief deafness.

Raising his head in a daze, something fell from his body. Giovanni looked down and saw that it was his subordinate with blood all over his face. He stretched out his hand to check his breath and found that the subordinate was dead.

He looked around, and saw that the place where he was standing had been blown up. Several soldiers were blown to the ground, and one soldier had his leg broken. He was hugging himself. The bloody broken leg screamed in pain, but he couldn't hear his miserable cry.

He stood up in a daze, but before he could stand still, another strong air current swept over him, propelling him to fly backwards, and fell heavily on the deck. He felt severe pain in his back, The pain caused his brain to be strongly stimulated.

He regained his hearing.

"Sir! Sir! We've been shot by the Chinese! Our hull is damaged! We're taking in water!"

A panicked subordinate ran over and helped Giovanni who had fallen to the ground. He endured the pain and looked at his subordinates panting heavily.

"Fire back immediately! Find the target and fight back! Repair the hull immediately! We must not let the Chinese defeat it!!"

"Yes!!"

This subordinate ran out in a panic, but only for a moment, another flower bomb exploded on the position where he was standing, so in Giovanni's eyes, that subordinate seemed to be broken, The whole body was shattered, blood was spilled all over the ground, and the broken limbs flew to unknown places.

He is probably one of the most unlucky Philippine governors. He was thrown to the ground by the airflow when the shell exploded three times in a row. The Chinese gunboats that fired did a great job.

Of course, they didn't know that they were shooting the flagship of the Spanish Navy, and the commander-in-chief of the navy was on it. They just saw a very large warship, and they were very unhappy, so all the guns on the ship aimed at this large ship. ship.

After several consecutive shots, the big ship was blown to misfire, and they accelerated their shooting even more aggressively. Seeing that there was an advantage to take advantage of, another gunboat joined in and fired together. The indiscriminate bombing has left this large ship riddled with holes, threatening to sink it in one fell swoop.

But I have to say that the shipbuilding skills of these Spaniards are really good. After being bombed to this extent, they still haven’t sunk. They are still driving tenaciously, shifting clumsily, and can fire back. Location, if this was a pirate ship, it would have collapsed long ago.

The Spaniards are really tenacious!

But not only did it fail to hit the soldiers of the Ming army, it also excited the sailors of the Ming Dynasty.

Teacher and those pirates who are greedy for life and fear of death, they are already tired of fighting!In addition to the fact that the pirates were a bit fierce in the early days, after the three major battles, the pirates were frightened. They turned around and ran away when they saw the ships flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty. What's the point of fighting?
Fighting with such a powerful navy is fighting!It's fun to fight against such tenacious enemies!That's where the real fun lies!
The fighting spirit of the naval officers and soldiers that had not been ignited for a long time was ignited again, and the fighting will of the Daming Navy has been raised to a higher level!
At this time, Wang Wei, the deputy commander of the Sixth Fleet, had already led the main battleship to the battlefield, and the main ship's guns began to rumble.

The Spaniards immediately felt the different artillery pressure.

The firepower of these big ships is more fierce, and the number of artillery seems to be more. When the artillery is fired, the power is completely different.

The captains of the five Spanish warships facing them felt tremendous pressure one after another. The overwhelming artillery fire from the Ming army came down. Before they had time to fire, the Ming army fired first and took the lead.

Boom boom boom boom———

The solid bullets mixed with a few flowering bullets hit the Spanish warship. As soon as the two sides met, a Spanish warship was hit by countless shells, and then it was smashed into a sieve. The crew couldn't save it. .

Seeing this, the captain had no choice but to order to abandon the ship and escape, but the dominant navy of the Ming army would not miss this opportunity. Seeing that a warship was about to sink, Wang Wei immediately ordered three warships to besiege it—want to escape?Do you think that's possible?
One shot after another, with more hits and fewer shots, the ship sank at an accelerated rate. A large number of sailors had no time to escape and drowned in the sea. Those who tried to escape in small boats were even more unlucky. The blunderbusses were fixed on them, and more dense bullets were aimed at them. They also tried to fight back with their guns, but their guns couldn't reach the Ming army bludgeons who were shooting condescendingly.

The first sunken ship appeared, which was the Spanish Navy's Valor. The ship sank, and most of the more than two hundred crew members on board drowned in the sea. Shot to death, none survived.

Seeing that his side had sunk an enemy ship, the morale of the Ming army's navy was greatly boosted. Wang Wei ordered the ship to beat the drums and blow the horn, and issued a second general attack order to boost morale. After the drums and horns sounded, the war drums and horns were sounded one after another.

The Spaniards were puzzled, but they suddenly discovered that the attack of the Ming army had become sharper. Not to mention the onslaught of the big ships, those small ships were also attacking those giant ships twice as big as them with an indomitable posture. , The Spanish fleet was in a hurry for a while, further confusion.

What's more terrible is that the command order that should have come from the flagship has not been conveyed for a while!
