Chapter 350 Login
Lin Feng did not land in the northeast of Cebu Island. Although two boats were capsized by the shore bombardment of the northeast port, he did not intend to get angry with the Spaniards in the port there.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't intend to.

Because he was tired, he traveled dozens of miles to find a suitable shoal for landing. Three warships and small boats broke down on the shore. After finally landing, they dared not light torches, like a group of blind men smacking around on a rocky beach. It was hard to find a way out.

Its daybreak.

"Our cannons don't have cannon carriages or pack horses, so they can't be unloaded. Without cannons, we might not be able to defeat the port defenders, right?"

Lin Feng's words were ignored, because his cronies knew that the leader was just trying to comfort himself, to find a suitable excuse for himself to give up.

The real excuse is that he wants to go straight to Huanglong and attack Cebu.

Cebu on Cebu Island is not far from the northeast port. It is clearly drawn on Lin Feng's chart. It goes all the way to the southwest and can be reached in one day.

Another night, another port.

Lin Feng divided his troops to four places along the way, and took away nearly a thousand men, all blocking the coast and ports where they must pass, and leaving them to bring dry food for a few days to set up an ambush on the main road.If you are lucky, you can loot the enemy's train, but if you are unlucky, you can do your best to harass the enemy.

With the loss of Northeast Port in front, Lin Feng didn't look down on the Spaniards so much. In fact, now looking at the castle of Cebu from afar, he no longer has that much confidence, and he doesn't think that he can really capture the port with his army without artillery.

The only reason he's here is because of the pirate work ethic: he's got to try.

"We will leave five boats in the middle to attract the enemy, and the army will disembark from the two wings. I will touch from the left, and you will go from the right." Lin Feng lowered his voice and looked at the warships docked in the distant harbor.He and Zhuang Gong's ship were connected by wooden planks, carefully calculating: "Leave fewer people on board, bring fire equipment, and burn all the ships in the port... They don't seem to have noticed us!"

Mr. Zhuang pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, pretending not to see the embarrassing image of the leader, and turned his head to look at the port—the port was bright, and there were seven or eight miles away, but he didn’t notice it, anyway, he was here It is impossible to discover what the port looks like.

Lin Feng was holding a binoculars. This binoculars were second-hand. Chen Mu asked Lao Guan to make them the first time.

Ever since the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court began to make binoculars, Chen Mu didn't rarely use them. This time, Lin Feng worked very hard under his command, and gave Lin Feng the old man before the departure.Although it was second-hand, it also created a big advantage for Lin Feng, at least he could see the outline of the port clearly.

"There is a city wall, it's not easy to attack, so I won't attack it." Lin Feng tried his best to put the so-called city wall into his eyes through the binoculars. In fact, the city wall was a bastion, but this did not prevent him from making the right decision, said : "There are houses and many houses outside the castle. The defenders can't see them, so they want to rob them."

"I go from the left to the right, and you go from the right to the left. Leave people in the middle to burn the boats. If you can kill them, you will kill them outside the city. If you can't kill them, you will retreat. If you can kill them, after the meeting, I will take the place where you attacked. You snatch the place I fight, you take my boat, I take your boat, and we go to the opposite island to defend."

There is another island just a few miles southeast of Cebu across a small strait. It is much smaller and has a flat terrain, but it is easier to defend.

"Send someone to drive a few boats over there first, unload the cannons on the boats, and put them on the shore to prepare for them. Let's go!"

But after a while, the arrangements were made, and the fleet was divided into four groups. A hundred people led a few boats to land on the island in the south. The ship outflanked Cebu from left to right.

The Spanish sergeant at the port is dozing off.

It's not that the defense of the most important place is lax, it's that Chen Mu delayed the attack for too long, and the Spaniards have passed the most critical time in their hearts. If Lin Feng had come two months earlier, Cebu could be said to be solid.

but now?Since Diego led the new force to land in Cebu, the defenders here have been much more relaxed. There are mercenaries watching the port in front. As far as the attack is concerned, it is a sure bet.

Stone bastion, some artillery guns, enough water and food in the castle, enough for them to defend until the siege army starves to death!
The real war should be at the front line, places like Tayan Port, not Cebu.

This is the first place where the Spaniards landed in the east, and the first place they conquered. It took five years to build the city, and the facilities for defending the city are complete. The Ming army, which has a great advantage in the world, does not have any Spaniards who think that they can capture this fortified city.

Legaspi was woken up in his sleep, and was about to reprimand his Filipino servant angrily, but found that the servant's expression was even more flustered than his own. There were endless cannons and gunfire in the castle. Such a sound appeared in the dark night like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. .

"Physiological people have attacked?"

The servants stuttered!
Pushing away the stupid servant who was in the way and did nothing, Legaspi put on a silk coat and walked out of the bedroom with a knife in his hand and a gun in his hand. The heroic Spanish soldiers were shuttled back and forth in the castle, and both artillery and muskets were heading towards the castle. When the fire was fired outside, there was a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke everywhere, but it made him feel at ease.

Physiological people have not yet entered the city.

"Stop them, don't let them attack the castle! Don't shoot the musketeers, the enemy is still far away, and they won't be able to shoot accurately. Wait until they reach the bridge!"

The originally somewhat chaotic military spirit stabilized the moment Legasby stood on the city wall. The soldiers needed to see their leader, especially when their leader held up a torch and shouted loudly: "You are four hundred veterans! Warriors who have fought a hundred battles, I and San Pedro, no one in this world can attack this castle before your eyes!"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you have to shoot, they have no intention of attacking the fortress!"

The heavy musketeer captain saluted Legasby and then aimed at the Ming pirates running down the city and shouted loudly: "The places on both sides of the castle near the coast have been captured by them, three companies, they have three Dalian companies, and we are in There is no advantage in combat!"

Of course, there is no advantage. Although Lin Feng's pirates showed stupid discipline in the battle of the army, it did not prevent each of them from exerting the power similar to that of a bird's gun or a fire gun.

This group of shameless people who landed ran around with their heads covered, and all the enemies standing on the street were knocked down by their volleys at close range when they met each other. Pirates of the Ming Dynasty swarmed the streets and hacked to death.

All the advantages of street fighting are in Lin Afeng's hands!
But Lin Feng was never tired of doing it, and urged his subordinates from time to time, shouting loudly: "The port is on fire, hurry up, let's sack this city!"

On the low wall of the bastion, Regasby stared at the port. The boat brought by Diego was swallowed by the raging fire, and he cursed angrily: "These bastards actually put their own boat Set fire to my boat, that's my boat!"

"Oops! Hurry up! Intercept them, the port, the port's catapults!"
