Wanli 1592

Chapter 460 The Naval Battle Ends
For some reason, Wang Wei always felt that something was wrong.

No, no, a battleship has reached this point, like a dying warrior, knowing that he can't live, a brave warrior will choose to abandon everything and pull a back to go with him, so that he is worthy of being a warrior.

However, this battleship behaved like a coward, and even wanted to escape at this point, it was really ashamed of its status as a battleship.

Wang Wei was very dissatisfied and felt that this was an insult to the battleship and the sea battle, so he pushed away a gunner, operated a cannon himself, loaded a solid bullet, trained them with the rear sight and front sight, and Xiao Ruxun Aiming at the method to improve the accuracy as much as possible.

"Blow that ship down for me!!!"

Wang Wei shouted loudly.

More than a dozen cannons roared again, and the heavy solid bullets rushed towards the crumbling battleship in a hot and manic airflow.

One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots, five shots!
The hit rate of the artillery is really unsatisfactory. It is the same on the road and at sea. If the distance is too far, you don’t know where you can fly. The flintlock can also pull the rifling in to increase the accuracy, but Wang Wei But I don't know how to add aim to the artillery.

Xiao Ruxun knew it, but one or two of these guns didn't make any difference to the battle situation, and the old craftsmen didn't seem to have any good methods.

Forget it, so be it, the ship is finished anyway, isn't it?The five shells were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Five solid bullets hit the ship, causing a wave of air to roll over.

I don't know if it hit the last vital point. Accompanied by a shock, the ship actually split from the middle, and the two hulls actually tilted to the two sides, sinking slowly, and there was a big vortex around it.

It seems that someone tried to escape from the boat with a small boat, but unfortunately, they were caught in the whirlpool and could not escape. They sank together in the bottomless sea, and none of the surrounding Spanish warships dared to rescue them... That's true , No one wants to be dragged into hell by this giant ship.

"Hahahahaha! Hit it!!!"

Wang Wei was ecstatic in his heart, and shouted crazily with the surrounding soldiers. The Ming army sank a Spanish warship again, and the results increased again. It is conceivable that he can get a lot of honor and money when he goes back this time, and he can drink and eat meat to his heart's content. enjoy.

I don't know if it's a symbol, but after the battleship was sunk, the surrounding Spanish warships completely lost their will to fight and tried to escape one after another.

Wang Wei didn't see it well, these guys were going to flee, and immediately ordered the main force of his squadron to bite the opponent tightly and not allow them to escape, and chased them with all their strength until they were sunk.

The Spaniard's counterattack began to become weak, as if they only wanted to escape, and they didn't counterattack as firmly as before when facing the fierce firepower of the Ming army. Wang Wei himself didn't know what was going on.

The main fleet is fleeing the battlefield here. Soon, the Spanish fleet, which was fighting with the gunboats of the Ming army, also realized something, and began to prepare to retreat one after another. For a while, their momentum and fighting spirit were greatly weakened, and their formation was also messed up. It made the Ming army who was fighting hard bewildered.

Jiang Dahai also didn't understand. Seeing the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield, Xiao Ruxun was also a little surprised.

However, taking advantage of his illness to kill him is the six-character mantra that Xiao Ruxun handed over to the naval division. There must be no benevolence of women on the battlefield of naval battles. Give them any chance of survival and later revenge.

Jiang Dahai deeply understood Xiao Ruxun's six-character mantra, and took it as his guiding ideology. He attacked the enemy very fiercely, and rarely captured prisoners. Basically, the soldiers left after the sinking of the warship were shot to death or fished out. Cut off their heads for money, absolutely never let them go.

Isn't now the time?

So Jiang Dahai and Xiao Ruxun looked at each other and nodded.

"Pursue on! Pursue and fight! Let me sink them all!!"

The flagship of the Ming army issued the second general attack order, and the majestic drums resounded over the entire battlefield again. All the Spaniards were horrified to find that the Ming army did not stop chasing and cheering for victory because of their retreat, but even more fiercely. After being crushed, he was about to fight them to the death again.

The Ming army not only had sharp artillery, but more importantly, their guns were even sharper. After a few Ming army warships caught up with their warships, they not only fired with artillery, but also with guns. Accurate, one shot hits the top of the head one by one, killing each other with one shot.

One tried hard to escape to the port, and the other frantically pursued, the war finally became a one-sided situation.

The resistance of the last Spanish warship ended at sunset, and when Xiao Ruxun could already see the coastline with binoculars, the last round of shelling by the Ming army finally sent the last Spanish warship into the depths of the sea.

So far, except for the five Spanish warships that fled in a hurry regardless of direction so that the Ming army could not pursue them, the Ming army sank more than 40 Spanish warships in total, basically wiped out the Spanish Philippine combined fleet, and captured a large Spanish warship. ship.

Speaking of which, the reason why this large ship was captured is quite funny, because the indigenous Filipino sailors in the ship did not want to die, so they rebelled collectively.

They piled up with the advantage of numbers, killed most of the resisting Spanish soldiers, then captured the leaders on board, took control of the entire ship, and then surrendered to the Ming army.

After Xiao Ruxun brought all the Chinese back to Myanmar, there were no more Chinese sailors in the Philippines to recruit.

The Spaniards had no manpower, and all of their people were used as sailors to attack, but sailors were always needed to drive a ship. They had no choice but to bribe the leaders of the indigenous tribes with a lot of money in exchange for their support.

Seeing that the money was open, those leaders sent their own clansmen to help, but they did not expect that this gang actually helped out blood mold. Not only almost all the Spaniards died, but also a large number of Filipino native sailors.

Only the native sailors on this ship were courageous, seeing that they would sink to the bottom of the sea and feed the fish like those people, but they didn't want to accept their fate, they didn't want to feed the fish, so they tried every means to survive.

People's desire to survive is terrible, so they secretly organized while the Spaniards were desperately resisting the Ming army. A group of strong men secretly took the cold weapons of the Spaniards, and then chopped them down when they saw the Spaniards swinging their knives. Soon the entire ship was captured, and then surrendered to the Ming army.
