Chapter 85 Bombard Manila!
"Look! Warship, our warship!" After Major Diego saw the unique shape and flag of the Spanish warship, he couldn't help shouting excitedly.
Marcelo didn't care about the manners of an aristocratic gentleman, so he took the telescope and put it in front of him. Sure enough, when he saw some familiar warships, and the unique and gorgeous Spanish royal treasure ship, Marcelo's pale face glowed like a light. Bright red." God bless us, God bless Spain, great, Colonel Alfonso succeeded! It is worthy of being the best elite of our Royal Spanish Navy. Governor Marcelo praised the returning fleet without hesitation, and at least from tonight on, he was finally able to sleep peacefully.
"Yes, it's worthy of being Colonel Alfonso, and he finally returned triumphantly." Major Diego also tacitly refused to mention Governor Marcelo's complaint to Colonel Alfonso. For him, the most important thing to do is to protect himself.
Moreover, the return of the naval colonel no longer makes him feel a headache because of the lack of manpower.
When Marcelo heard Major Diego's answer, the smile on his face looked more happy, but he frowned slightly: "Why are there some ships that don't look like our West?"
Major Diego rolled his eyelids: "This should be the warship of the Qing pirates captured by Colonel Alfonso and others."
Marcelo returned the telescope to Major Diego and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it should be like this. It seems that Marani should hold a grand celebration party for the respected Colonel Alfonso tonight. I believe that in the near future, this excellent naval colonel will become us. The youngest naval general in the Kingdom of Spain.
"Our armed gunboats moored at the dock have anchored. It seems that they have also seen our fleet and are going to welcome our triumphant heroes." Major Diego put down his look from the distance, with a look of enthination, but there was no lack of jealousy.
"Ha ha, don't worry, my friend, you are still young, and one day you will be like him..." Governor Marcelo patted the young major on the shoulder and said in an experienced tone.
"There's something wrong, Mr. Major, something's wrong." Next to him, the guard's eyes had never left the sea. At this time, the guard, who had been standing behind Major Diego, suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted.
"What's going on?" Major Diego quickly looked at the sea. At this time, the armed gunboat that went out to welcome the marquis seemed to have encountered something terrible. Suddenly, it stagnated, and then began to turn with an almost crazy movement.
What's wrong? This question rose in the hearts of Major Diego and Governor Marcelo at the same time. At this time, they saw a few columns of smoke on the tall Spanish warships, and then they heard the muffled thunder generated by the roar of heavy artillery rolling over their ears.
Major Diego's eyes expanded to the extreme, and even the blood on his eyes were clearly visible, because he saw that the turning armed gunboat was like a fast-running yellow sheep being accurately hit by a shotgun. The rapid turn suddenly paused, and then he saw the main mast of the armed fast ship with a sail. The waist was broken, and the heavy shells broke through theboard of the ship again, leaving a huge and ferocious hole.
The loud sound of heavy artillery is like a 10,000-pound mallet, which suddenly beat the hearts of all Spanish civilians and soldiers who were still preparing to cheer at the dock into the abyss of hell from their chest.
Before Major Diego and Governor Marcelo woke up from the shock, another burst of cannons exploded. The armed fast ship stationed at the Manila dock could no longer withstand this accurate heavy artillery bombardment and cut off from the waist. The unpleasant sound of wood fracture seemed to have crossed a long distance and drilled into Diego. The school and Governor Marcelo's heart seemed to break their original joy.
"What the hell is going on? Is Colonel Alfonso crazy?!" Major Diego held his military cap tightly in his hand, and he didn't even have time to wipe his sweat down his chin.
"Didn't he see the high Spanish flag on the armed gunboat? This son of a bitch." Marcelo screamed, and he didn't even notice that the wig on his head was crooked by the wind, just like a beggar who saw a rich man cigarette with a hundred yuan.
"My God... That's, no, those are not Spaniards!" Marcelo confirmed through the monoculars again and finally found a terrible fact. On the bow of the flagship of the Spanish Luzon fleet, there was a tall and strong oriental young man in a black suit, holding a monocular in one hand and the other. With a cigar in his hand, he was talking to a beautiful oriental lady beside him. His sinister smile and cold eyes, as if they could penetrate the distance of space, fell into the depths of Marcelo's heart.
"Not Spanish?! My God, the Virgin Mary..." Major Diego swallowed with difficulty, and his whole body was cold, as if someone had put his soul in the hard ice of the ancient Alps.
--------------------
"I believe those Spaniards already know who we are." Master Liang threw the monoculars in his hand into the hands of Bai Shusheng beside him. His sleeves were high, and he trampled on the side of the boat with one foot, with a thick cigar in his mouth, like a gangster boss who was going to collect debts.
"Master Liang, you are really..." Shi Xianggu felt that his head was a little painful. Originally, she thought that Master Liang was going to return to Hong Kong disguised as a Spaniard, but who would have thought that after seeing the Spanish armed gunboat that came to greet him, he suddenly ordered a shelling to sink the gunboat.
Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Miss Shi, don't worry. I'm actually playing psychological tactics. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I just want to stuff all their courage into the asshole. Cough, I mean to undermine their confidence."
Liang Pengfei couldn't wait to slap himself. He actually used such a vulgar adjective in front of the female surname, which was really a kind of damage to his gentleman's image.
Hearing Liang Pengfei's vulgarity, but it seemed to be an appropriate description, Shi Xianggu wanted to laugh, but she could only hold back. Her pretty face held up two red clouds, making her beautiful face beautiful.
"It's sinking! OK. Order, beat the drum, and raise the flag!" Liang Pengfei reluctantly withdrew the hidden eyes full of greed and possession from Shi Xianggu's face, raised his head and ordered loudly.
Boo-boo... The huge war drum on the warship was knocked by a group of red strong men. The sound of the sky-shaking drums is like the roar of Thor, resounding through the sky. It is more shocking than the roar of heavy artillery just now. The momentum of the sea, as if even the waves of the sea can only be a foil, exciting and exciting rhythm, imitating Buddha can only avoid the clouds in the sky.
And the Spanish flags on those warships all fluttered with the wind, and then a red skeleton flag with a gold edge on a black background rose slowly. The soldiers or civilians on the dock, or the indigenous and Chinese who were escorted to build fortifications, all stared at the tall and majestic dark warships, which were slowly pressing up in an overwhelming momentum. That kind of daunting oppression is enough to make people with weak wills collapse.
I don't know who shouted first, and then there was a mess on the dock. The indigenous and Chinese who had built fortifications on the dock fled around one after another. The Spanish soldiers were shouting loudly, holding up the guns in their hands in a hurry, and they didn't know who to aim at, and some of them had only been trained for a few days. The Spanish civilians who hurriedly stepped on the battlefield even picked up the gun in their hands and opened fire at the warship that was still far away from the range of the artillery.
For a moment, fear, like a plague, began to spread in the hearts of all Spaniards. Enter the fort and prepare to shell!" A Spanish lieutenant left on the dock pulled out his sword from his waist and split into the air, loudly encouraging and commanding the six godless soldiers.
At this time, the fort had ignited the lead. With a thick smoke and a loud noise, the fort on the dock finally began their heroic counterattack.
However, their counterattack did not improve their courage. The warships seemed to be angered and crossed their hulls one after another, revealing the dense cannon windows of their side like honeycombs.
Accompanied by the passionate drums, the powerful warships and heavy guns suddenly shrank back and disappeared into the gun window, but the blazing white tube flame and the heavy artillery projectiles ejected from the column of smoke, rushed to the dock with a sharp roar like a hell demon in an unprecedented momentum.
"May God have mercy on us sinners." Seeing that the bodies of the towering warships were almost shrouded in white smoke, Major Diego closed his eyes in despair. He knew very well that with the strength of the half battalion and the Spanish civilians who had only been trained for a few days, they wanted to block these terrible Qing pirates who actually defeated tens of thousands of people in the joint fleet, which was simply a delusion. Think.
"Give me a bombard, a hard bombard, and bombard all the shore cannons on the dock into scrap iron. I want those Spaniards to know that I will annoy the end of Liang Pengfei, and let those golden-haired monkeys understand a truth. If they do immoral things, they will be punished sooner or later. Now, I am the one who comes to step on Lu for the Chinese. Song's revenge angel!" Master Liang stood on the bow of the boat, and his arrogant voice echoed in the air. The shocking drums and the roar of heavy artillery seemed to be accompaniment to Master Liang's declaration!
