Wu Liben's gambling was successful. When he entered about 500 meters, the warship completed the rudder turning. When his body was horizontal, the warship sank slightly to the bottom. The six 75 guns on the front and rear decks completed a salvo. Then the warship continued to complete the steering action, bulged the sails, retreated at full speed, and even opened the distance. This was a very beautiful tactical action. After completion, the warship completely turned the direction. The two 75 guns at the tail immediately adjusted the direction and aimed at the Spanish warship that was chasing and continued to fire.

The first round of volleys was achieved. A shell hit the middle of a sailboat, and a mast was blown off. The sudden decline in speed was obvious. Wu Liben saw it clearly and shouted excitedly: "Beautiful."

Almost as he shouted, a large pool of water rose from the sea, and the Spaniards also opened fire, and the solid bullet hit the sea, and the floating water droplets were like a heavy rain. It was not hit directly, for the Huangxian, which was running away, this was not a big problem. The five hundred meters distance was within the range of the Spaniard's cannon, but how to say, if this distance was to hit a sailboat at sea, it would be really God's favor. On the contrary, the hit rate of the rifled gun at this distance was greatly improved. This kind of straight-sighted shooting, if a volley was not hit by the target, would be strange. Although this warship was small, every gunner was a hero who had fought at sea for many years after his hometown.

In just one minute, two guns at the rear hit the flank of a Spanish ship again, and the damage caused by the splashing debris was a piece of people. At this time, the good luck of Huangxian was over. A solid bullet hit the boat gang hard, and a piece of guardrail was interrupted and flew up. A nearby soldier was hit hard by a piece of wood and threw himself to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood. It was impossible to die anyway.

With the water droplets rising from the sea, Huangxian City struggled to distance himself. In order to catch up with the target, the Spanish ship had to turn the bow. At this time, he could only use a 36-pound cannon on the head of the ship to attack. The effect was simply impossible to compare with the previous side string volley. The shells were chased and shot, but there was no hit rate. Instead, they were shot by two mountain cannons at the tail of Huangxian City. Under the water pressure, the boat board made a squeaking sound. This was not a good thing. If you took a few more strokes, the boat board felt that it was squeezed out of the gap. If you took a few more strokes, you would have to slowly expand.

Since they chose to start the war, the Spaniards must fight to the end. The three warships with unreduced speed continued to chase the Huangxian. The two sides had no results when they went back and forth, and the only change was that the distance was constantly widened. County-level warships attached more importance to the advantages of speed. The average speed of eight knots was not something that the Spanish Garen ships could catch up.

The biggest purpose of Huangxian was to fight and run while running. The time was. If it weren't for the insufficient shells, Wu Li would have been confident of winning this battle. Unfortunately, the warships in North America had only two bases of shells each time they set out. When they attacked the coast, Huangxian consumed a base of ammunition, and now they can only use the tail guns to deal with them slowly.

During the two-hour pursuit, the ammunition was gradually exhausted, and Wu Liben, who had no greater gains, was somewhat annoyed. At this time, the Spanish flagship that had left before was back. It fell from a distance, which meant that people and materials had to be transported. The two armed merchant ships finally transported all the materials. After raising the sail, they immediately turned north without leaving a moment. It was not that they were afraid of death, but that they gave almost all the shells to the colonies on the shore.

At this time, flag words were sent from the fort on the shore. What Wu Liben saw was: "No need to fight, we are fine."

Wu Liben felt his face burning and tried his best to say, "Reply on the shore and tell them to take care of themselves!"

The Huangxian suddenly completed the turn again on the sea surface. After a last volley at a distance of 800 meters, it turned the bow and headed north. At the speed of the flying scissor, it would be possible to return to Kingsoft in two days. At that time, a large number of warships would settle the score again. Now is not a time to act with impulse. There are no less than 600 colonies and four mountain cannons, which are not easy to fight. Just five ships, how many soldiers can be transported? Not to mention that in front of the rear-mounted rifle, the Spanish's medley guns were all slags.

Wu Liben, who returned with a volley, did not intend to leave, but moved half of the shells of the naval gun to the rear gun position. Looking at the Spanish warship, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "I'm going to waste with you to the end, come and chase you."

No matter how brave the Spanish were, they did not dare to land before expelling such warships, although it was already noon. After more than three hours of naval battle, the two sides fought very lively. In terms of the results of the battle, the Spanish were very embarrassing. Wu Li could have proudly declared that he was the winner. The three warships had to give up supporting the landing and continue to fight with Wu Liben's Huangxian.

Wu Liben, who kept seducing three Spanish warships to leave with his tail cannon, felt much more comfortable at this time. At the same time, he made up his mind that as long as the other party dared not chase him, he would turn around and hit him.

The Spanish finally put down the boat, and the landing location chosen was exactly the same as that of the Ming colonists. On the same beach, the soldiers carried a messock and some even carried tomahawks and armor. The sailors rowed hard and sent the first batch of more than a hundred soldiers to the shore. Seeing these soldiers, Xia Wanchun smiled cruelly and turned to the infantry company commander beside him and said, "Look at this point, we have to be quieter and don't scare them away."

The shore was surprisingly quiet. In fact, the artillery position was very good, covering the entire mountain pass. If the Spaniards wanted to enter the camp, it was almost a road after all. You can't go climbing the mountain or walking in the woods, right? In that case, these soldiers in armor would not be exhausted. The mountain road was not so easy to walk.

After a busy afternoon, the Spaniards transported all the soldiers to the shore and got four cannons. It was actually a rifled cannon equipped in front, an old brand produced by Dengzhou, the Ming Empire. This thing can only be used to make solid bullets, and a cork must be installed at the tail to ensure the initial speed and range of the shells.

Xia Wanchun and company commander Li Jinbao exchanged a look, and they were somewhat helpless. This kind of cannon must have flowed out of the people. The Spanish strongholds in Manila have many Ming ships there every year. Speaking of which, these merchants are still conscientious and have not sold new cannons to the Spanish, but it seems that this kind of thing is too soon. Fortunately, this thing is unlikely to be sold in large quantities. A registered ship may be investigated if there is any phenomenon of smuggling arms. If you are caught at that time, the consequences will be very serious.

"Give me some energy. If the Spaniards launch an attack, you must first knock out their cannons." Li Jinbao felt very angry at all. He knew who sold this cannon. He would definitely shoot him in one shot. This is a rifled cannon. Even if it is only six-pound cannons, it can still hit a distance of two thousand meters, with an effective range of about one thousand meters. The biggest function of this thing is to bombard the wall. Hit the wall directly on the wall. In a few strokes, the wall built by the natives would have to be collapsed. Not to mention, it has collapsed once and is still under emergency repair.

"The infantry company is placed on the mountain and guards the artillery position. The camp is handed over to us." Xia Wanchun put down his telescope, told him to turn around and leave. Li Jinbao was angry, picked up an engineer shovel, rushed to the mountainside, and took the lead in digging the trenches. If time permits, he would also pull the wire mesh.

Although there were less than one hundred and fifty men, Li Jinbao, who looked a little thin, had enough confidence to make the enemy blood flow. "Md, a group of guys who were not much stronger than the natives dared to provoke the Ming Empire."

Dusk has come, and the Huangxian can no longer be seen on the sea surface, and the three Spanish ships have not been known where they were taken. In fact, at this time, Wu Liben, who is familiar with the sea conditions, is planning a bold action.

"Quick. We have to rush in front of the Spaniards and return to the landing surface." Wu Liben, who faced the chart, had a compass and a sextant in his hand, racing against time to calculate the best route. Spanish ships with an average speed of only six knots were thrown away at this time, and the turn of the action was impossible to detect. Perhaps they would also turn around, but Wu Liben deliberately seduced them, and they wanted to go back and return and be affected by the current, and the speed would be slower. On the other hand, Wu Liben, who was on another route, was confident that he would win an hour's time difference for himself.

Furange was still very cautious. As the commander of this army, he did not order an attack immediately, but instead built a camp near the beach and waited until the next day to fight. But he mistakenly calculated that his naval guns would be difficult to exert too much power at night. On the other hand, the Ming infantry company equipped with a large number of grenades was preparing to teach the Spaniards a lesson at night and tell them what modern wars were.

This place in America is still very miserable, and the number of new mortars is limited. When this infantry company set off, it was a small regret. Otherwise, it would be better to greet the mortars at night, and there was no need to take risks. Li Jinbao, who was organizing soldiers to rest and preparing to touch the camp at night, thought so depressed.

Speaking of which, Li Jinbao is also betting on the opponent's defense at night. Night battle is not a wise choice for both sides. It is really Li Jinbao holding a sip of resentment in his heart and needs to vent it.

At 2:30 in the morning, when people were sleeping the most, more than a dozen soldiers quietly crawled out of the position, without rifles, one person had two grenades, and set out lightly, quietly touched the Spanish camp. These soldiers were all good bomb droppers, and each of them could throw a distance of fifty meters. Their mission was to throw the grenades out at a distance of fifty meters, and then turn around and run away. They didn't expect them to be able to capture the entire camp, just to disgust the opponent.

It was difficult for the soldiers sneaking in the grass to be discovered. The torches in the camp could not be so far away. Just as they touched about 60 meters away, Li Jinbao, who was leading the team, was about to order to get up. At the moment when he was running and throwing bombs, a flash of fire suddenly flashed on the sea.

"Get ready!" Li Jinbao almost subconsciously ordered, and everyone quickly lay down and did not move. The roaring sound showed that this thing was a naval gun, which was also 75 caliber, and the barrel of the other person was longer and had a longer range. Unlike the mountain cannon used by infantry, a short-barrel guy could barely hit three thousand meters. No matter how accurate the naval gun hit, it could hit at least 3,500 meters.

Wu Liben was so happy that he had no time to go around in circles all night. When he returned to this sea surface, the lights on the artillery positions on the shore were the best direction lights. Just fire at about 3,500 meters in front of the light, and it was guaranteed to hit the Spanish camp. Even if he could not hit the target, this thing could be considered disturbing the enemy.

In fact, Wu Liben's disturbance tonight was almost cheating. A volley was like a dog-good luck. All six cannons fell into the camp. After the banging explosion, a tent caught fire. Spanish soldiers woke up from the shells and ran around like headless flies, and they didn't know where the strike came from. After the soldiers on the temporary wardrobe discovered the shells from the sea, they didn't wait for him to send a message, and more than a dozen black shadows emerged from the grass. After the run-up, the grenade was thrown out, and then the run-up, and then the throw-up. After the matter was done, they turned around and ran away. The unlucky wardrobe was taken care of by the grenades. It is understandable that this was worrying about his grenade.

No one counted the results of the two rounds of grenades, and no one carved them all from the sea. No one carved them all without any results. Six cannons were left without a single shell, and they were all shot for five or six minutes. Then they took advantage of the darkness to turn around and head north and fled. The Spaniards were completely stunned by the rectification and sneak attack. If it weren't for the night, Li Jinbao might have attacked with his soldiers. Anyway, after all this, the possibility of the opponent posing a threat to the colonial site tomorrow is very small, so there is no need to take risks.

Furanger's face was gloomy for a whole morning. The entire camp suffered from the shelling and sneak attacks at night, and the casualties caused were not too large, but the blow to the whole morale was almost catastrophic. Thirty-eight people died in the shelling, sixteen of whom died of trampling, and one hundred and three others were injured and lost their combat effectiveness. Some were hit by shrapnel, and some were trampled by their own people.

Before the battle started, I just took such a slap. How could you make him feel better?

Three warships chasing Huangxian came back. Seeing the tragic situation on the beach, I really didn't know what to say. I ran away after five or six minutes. Before the two Spanish warships could come back to their senses, the opponent ran away.

What to do? Just go back in shame? (To be continued.)
