Chapter 730： Second defeat

The Spanish fleet arrived very quickly, less than ten kilometers away, and they arrived in more than half an hour.

At this time, the Chinese army has not yet resolved Spain's coastal defense artillery.

After all, the firing speed of their artillery is relatively slow, and the accuracy of the head is not very accurate.

The Chinese frigate first spotted the enemy's fleet, and then immediately issued a semaphore warning.

Suffering a sneak attack, the Chinese army did not panic.

There are only three battleships used to fight the coastal defense artillery. They also have one battleship, three cruisers and three frigates to protect the transport team, which is still a powerful force.

Because of the lack of experience in combat with the steam engine fleet, the Spaniards misjudged some things.

If it were pure sails, it would be more difficult for the fleet to turn around and steer in a place where the wind is not strong in the bay.

In the opinion of the Spaniards, when the Chinese army found them, it would definitely be too late to re-arrange, and they could bully the transport ships without firepower.

This is the meaning of sneak attacks. If it weren't for this cheapness, they didn't need to sneak attacks.

Anyway, at the end of the naval battle, it was always a formation to shoot.

However, the Spaniards did not consider that the battleships of the Chinese Army were all propelled by steam, or hybrid steam and sails.

They quickly completed the turn, blocked the transport ship, and waited for the Spanish fleet to arrive.

The fast maneuvering of the Chinese warship brightened the eyes of the Spaniards.

For a while, they were all embarrassed.

Keep going, they will suffer.

Don't say whether they can play, even if they can win, they will have to lose a lot.

Retreat, do you want Manila?

Without Manila, they don't even have a place to supply them, so they can only wander at sea.

When they were in a dilemma, they were already close to the Chinese army.

As of now, it really won't work if you don't fight.

"fire."

On the Hongyuan, the captain and also the supreme commander of the fleet Liu Wanghai gave the order to fire.

He is the No. 3 figure in the Dahua Navy, except for the veteran of the Navy Wu Yi and Bai Bainian, he has the highest seniority.

He was seen in the Battle of Fuzhou, the Battle of Taijiazhuang, and the Battle of Kagoshima, and he has experienced many battles.

The sound of the artillery sounded, and the main gun of the Hongyuan roared.

The naval bombardment generally has a very low hit rate.

However, this time their luck was particularly good. The first shot of Hongyuan’s main gun hit a Spanish battleship.

Then, the Spanish navy on other ships will never forget the scenes they saw.

The armor-piercing projectile penetrated directly through the ship's side and shot into the cabin before the bomb exploded.

The explosive power of this armor-piercing bomb was already very terrifying, but when it exploded, it also ignited the gunpowder in the cabin.

The explosion directly lifted the deck, blasting the battleship into two pieces, and breaking it into two pieces from the middle.

At the explosion place, the fire was burning, and the sea water was pouring in frantically.

In previous naval battles, the scene after the ship was shot was called water seepage, but now this scene is called flooding.

The sea water directly poured into the two ships, and then the ship sank immediately. The few survivors on the ship didn't even have time to save themselves, and then fell into the sea.

The Spanish navy on other ships saw this scene, and many people had their legs weakened, and some people were even scared to urinate.

This is terrible. Soldiers were not so easy to die when the ship was shot in the past. They had time to escape in a small boat to save themselves.

But now, the power of Dahua's artillery is beyond their imagination.

Faced with this kind of artillery that kills as long as one shot is hit, it's a fart.

In addition to the main artillery on the Hongyuan, the other secondary artillery, as well as the artillery on the cruiser and frigate, fired one after another.

Although the power of these artillery is far less than that of Hongyuan's main artillery, the victory lies in the number and the number of hits.

Moreover, the power of these artillery is small, which is comparable to the main gun of the Hongyuan.

Compared with the Spaniard's artillery, it is also strong and outrageous.

Several shells fell on the deck and exploded, killing a large number of Spanish sailors.

Until Dahua's navy finished a wave of shelling, the Spanish remembered to fight back. They were all frightened before.

Although I remembered to fight back, it was a pity that due to the huge gap between their artillery and Dahua artillery, this kind of counterattack didn't make much sense at all.

Their luck was even good, because the Dahua cruisers kept moving at a low speed, so the Spanish counterattack had several shells that hit the Chinese warships.

Then, their commander also experienced the same feeling as Francisco.

Looking at the Majestic warship that had been shot but did not suffer any damage, the Spanish commander collapsed.

"Retreat, quickly retreat, their ships have been spelled, they are unsinkable warships."

Some commanders directly shouted to retreat, and didn't want to fight anymore.

This made the Spaniards who were still resisting extremely speechless. Their artillery had only been fired twice, so they would retreat?

Although not reconciled, they can't help it.

All the friendly forces are retreating. Wouldn't you stay and wait for death if you don’t retreat?

The Spanish fleet that came to support quickly turned around, trying to escape.

But how could the Chinese army make them what they wanted. Relying on the speed advantage, several frigates and cruisers followed, and followed the Spanish fleet with non-stop shelling.

This made the Spaniards more panic and completely lost command.

A ship scurried like a headless flies, and even two of them ran into each other in a panic, and the Chinese army who was watching were extremely speechless.

Even if it is a pirate, its level is not so bad.

Of course, the Spanish navy is not so bad, but it is not surprising that they, who were frightened, made some outrageous operations.

The Spanish fleet came quickly and lost quickly.

Looking at this scene, Francisco on the shore fell into speechlessness without giving any more instructions.

Apparently, it's just like giving up on yourself.

At this time, the Spanish artillery also collapsed and escaped because of heavy casualties.

Seeing the people around me die one by one, everyone will be afraid and terrified.

In addition, Francesco did not arrange for a supervising team to carry out a stern supervision, so these people naturally chose to escape without hesitation.

As the sound of the artillery gradually subsided, the Chinese army also approached the pier, preparing to land.

Originally, Francesco also set up a defensive line at the pier, but seeing the low morale of the troops, coupled with the dreadful artillery, he recovered and gave the order to defend Lingbao.

Up to now, he can only rely on Lingbao's solid fortifications and consume Dahua until Dahua can't sustain it.

If you can't hold on, then surrender.

For them Western Europeans, they can do their best to fight, but surrender if they fail to fight. This is the standard process.
