"Portugal, when did people have such a great power to have such a large scale, no one can exist in Asia.

After seeing the Jing family on Manilamo, the Spaniards were worried that the shore cannons could not hit the fleet, but the cannons of the fleet could hit the fortress. The psychological pressure of this distance was too great.

However, the fortress on Haokou was built strong enough, which is reassuring. The cannons in Shifang shot three times in total, and the walls of the fort were killed twice. The damage caused was nothing but a small mouth that smashed the stone wall, and there was no structural damage at all.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it causes greater damage. As long as the artillery is still there, there is no problem to continue shooting. However, if you want to cause a decisive blow to the turret, the warship must get closer, but at that time it was within the range of the shore gun. If the ship was opened, it would be in danger of sinking.

Compared with the advantages and interests of these two moves, the Spanish are very confident in perseverance, but this battle must be read for a long time, because the warships of the same size carry enough fresh water and food. More importantly, the journey to Luzon to the mainland and other countries in the South China Sea is not long, and the other party has enough ships, which can be used to provide supplements and even replenish them on other islands in Luzon.

If you can send a ship out in time, it is certainly impossible to go to the local area, but if you can go to a few fixed stern lines to request support from your country's armed merchant ships, then there will be a turning point.

This is the season for both monsoon and ocean currents. There are many ships traveling between America, Asia and Europe. They can gather enough ships, and the fleet outside will also retreat. And this also represents a possibility, that is, ships will return to the local area to report the news, that is, the war between Spain and Portugal. Although the two countries are now in a merger, everyone knows what's going on.

If you can do this, the other party may not be able to attack without hesitation. It is not very likely to defend the Luzon colony, but it is not bad to obtain a decent passport, such as "glorious surrender" and leave with your own property and weapons. Now everyone has a lot of money. It is better to go back to Spain to enjoy themselves than to be in this wilderness.

Now there is nowhere to avoid the ships in Haokou. The opponent's fleet is blocked tightly, but it will not be like this all the time. Moreover, the shelling did not absorb the ships in the port, so I can get the chance.

With this plan, it does not mean that the fortress's defense will relax. Paul Louis said that the fortress's soldiers and militia were divided into three teams, guarding day and night, and first of all, they should not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of.

On the first day of the fleet's appearance, the fortress was very nervous. Although the fleet at sea stopped shooting quickly, the fortress defenders did not dare to be at all.

Someone went to see the shells. They must be naval guns above 18 pounds, which can create such artillery and full shells. They must be from the European fleet. As for the vast ships that followed, they must be robbing the Han people who came to make cheaper ones.

It was getting dark, and the moonlight was pretty good. You could also see the lights on the bow of the other party's ship and tell whether the other party's fleet was approaching.

Even so, the defenders in the fortress were still extremely nervous, and there was some movement on the sea. Regardless of whether the other party's fleet was moving, they must be yelling and firing. The shooting was not another matter, but this deterrence must be arrogant.

Fortunately, the Spanish had enough ammunition storage in the Manila Fortress, otherwise they would not be able to withstand such waste.

As the night entered, the gunboats on the turret still did not move, and the extremely nervous artillery on the turret also relaxed a little. Some people were still whispering to the damn wind direction, because the wind in the sky was blowing towards the great mouth, causing all kinds of trouble to the defenders.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Look at the sea, look at the sea."

The sleepiness disappeared immediately. Some people hurriedly stood at a high place to look around, while others were there someone who was preparing for the cannon. The warship that had been stopped in the middle of the night did move towards the port.

The fortress is extremely nervous. Is the opponent going to attack at night? Under such dark conditions, it is possible to cause a rocket to run, and even a misunderstanding of ship collisions is possible.

From the movement of the light, you can see that the other person's ship is moving, adjusting the direction while moving forward, and you can't see the others clearly.

"Fire the fire first! Fire a shot and deter it!! It proves that the stage is still there!"

An officer shouted at the top of his voice. With a loud bang, the shore artillery began to fire. The ships on the other side were also getting bigger. There was a roar like thunder. The people on the fortress platform were all hurriedly lying in the hidden place. The shells were solid shells, but the stone chips that were fired could kill people like sand and soil.

There were a few incoherent shots, some hitting the fortress, and some landing in the fortress. Except for two people who could not dodge, the rest were not seriously injured, but in this short period of time, the shore artillery would be suppressed.

The people in the fortress also knew that such heavy artillery fire would take a very long time to load. For such a ship with a capacity of about 500 tons, the position of the ship even needs to be adjusted to ensure balance. When the other side shoots the beam of transmission, everyone immediately gets up and prepares to start a counterattack.

There was only the reflected moonlight on the sea and the scattered lights of the ship. At the moment when they were about to fire the cannon and counterattack, a little light suddenly appeared. Then there were more and more staggering spots. People in the fortress were already stunned. Looking at the distance of the light, it was already very close to the place where the Haokou ships were parked.

Looking at the height of those light spots, not the light emitted by the big ship, someone finally reacted and shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon, fire the cannon!!"

The people on the fortress all woke up from their dreams and became busy. At this time, the light spots on the teachings were no less than 200. Although they looked dense, the cannons could not be used for one shot.

The light spot suddenly became lit up, and even from such a distance, the people on the fortress could see clearly. It was Da Lin, and someone screamed: "Arson ship, arson ship!!"

The shells are not just star-like. The waves are rising and falling, the wind direction is changing, and the damage to the ships by the shells is easy to repair. Unless you are lucky enough to shoot places like ammunition depots, the most lethal means of the war at this time is to use large ships. A ship of the same size is full of flammable materials. When approaching the other ship, it is connected to the other ship with iron nails or hooks. The ships are made of wooden. If they are lit, the objects will be burned.

However, even if the large ships do not have any defense capabilities and cannot be controlled by someone in the well, it is easy to avoid it. However, no one is stationed in the Hongkou ships, and they have already been hiding ashore in order to avoid shelling. So whether it is the garrison's own warships or merchant ships, they can only be burned down.

The cannons on the fortress sounded one after another, but the temporary adjustment of the firing angle was not accurate at all. After more than a dozen cannons, only three shells killed the target. Only Dalin was shot and splashed, but the ship was still moving forward.

The second round of artillery did not even begin, and was immediately suppressed by sporadic ship guns. The officers were also calling on the artillery not to rush to fire. In such a situation, shooting was just a waste of ammunition and there was no need.

But the fortress couldn't stand it. After finally traveling to the ocean, he fought with the thieves in Southeast Asia. When he came to Luzon, he thought that the meeting would come, but the end of the matter was that the ship and cargo were burned. No one expected that someone would come to block the port, and no one expected that the other party actually dispatched a large ship.

The ship owners, who were already trembling, were anxious and ran out of the fortress houses, even broke through the guards' block, and even rushed to the fort. They could not get up in places like the fortress. The generals and soldiers were scolded and even beaten.

People can see the light of the port on the fort, and many large ships have floated over and stuck to the merchant ships in Hao's mouth.

The boats were thriving, and the fire became more and more powerful. The bombardment of the sea gunboats had stopped, and the people on the fort were quiet. They could clearly hear the sound of the explosion of the boat boards and the sound of burning. Some of the medicines on the ships were ignited and exploded, but it was just to add some fun to the bonnet conference on the sea.

The sailors' faces were as dead as asthe, and the captain was crying there. Even the defenders on the fort were silent. They were not sure that they could get there. At the moment, the Port of Manila was already a dead place. They might be able to defend it, but there would be no support or supplies from the sea.

"Led by Hu Rao, I'll send you the grandmother to clear Nan Hao's side tomorrow!"

"Don't call me Commander Hu, my name is Hu Anliu."

On the Flying Deer boat building, Juan and Tangshan looked at the fire on the pier. The two of them talked lightly, and Juan always emphasized that he wanted to call him Juan, but everyone was used to thinking that his surname was Hu, which was also a joke.

There is no protection for the turret on Nanhao. If the ship is willing to go around in circles, it can escape the fortress's shelling and enter Nanhong. Now it is equivalent to destroying the possible objects that the other party seeks help and escape. Without the ship, the other party can do nothing.

After the two of them finished laughing, they arranged for a rest at night. In this dark and lit state, it was indeed not suitable for anything. Tangshan walked down the boat stairs and said to a listener below: "Go and run away and tell the people of each ship that the ship burned a day will be compensated in the future. Our prince will not treat people badly when doing things!"

The person who heard the agreement agreed and hurried over to make arrangements. The current fleet could not carry so many ships. The people who followed each other took out the boats on the boats, or even the ships carrying people. Even some of the big things were gathered on each ship.

He naturally had to compensate for such general behavior. Wang Tong had to spend money and had to make trouble on the sea next time. Tangshan naturally had to put these people in a trap.

"Hold for four months, as long as you keep for four months, other places will know the news, and they will not be able to block the port for a long time."

Paul Louis almost yelled to cheer up his men, but no one was excited when he heard these words. The ships were burned. Although there were still many supplies in the fortress, it might not be able to last for too long. Moreover, in two months, the weather would be hot. If you were enclosed in this fortress, you might be spoiled and a disease would appear.

"The enemy is only at sea, and we still have a vast hinterland that can obtain supplies from the natives!"

Paul Louis was naturally aware of what the people below were thinking. He shouted loudly, making the people below scatter their morale, but he also thought in his heart, because after the company Arenas was sent out, the news would be gone.

"Friends, as long as we wait until the ships of the leased country arrive, we will be saved, and we can return to the leased country to enjoy wealth and women, as long as we persist!!"

If the governor had some touching skills, he said this, the Spanish people gathered in the house were cheering up their spirits. At this moment, they heard the bell ringing in a hurry again. Originally, the Spanish figures in Luzon were all sitting around the long table, and after hearing this, they stood up in panic.

Paul Louis, who was disturbed, was furious and shouted there: "Go and let the lookouts stop. Nan Hong was going to give up. We are going to shrink now, we want to shrink!"

The guards outside hurriedly saluted, Lian Mu ran out, and Paul Louis cursed with hatred: "These damn country bumpkins are so panicked when they encounter this little thing."

Everyone in the room was full of disapproval, but now they still need this Paul Louis, so it is hard to say anything.

Just as a few were arranged, there were rapid footsteps outside. Louis was furious again and shouted, "Don't panic..."

Halfway through the words, the guard who had just sent the message stumbled in and said stutteringly: "There are enemies in the inland direction..."

The Spanish said that the directions are all based on the fortress of Hongkou as their heart. The so-called inland means a city surrounded by tens of thousands of people in Haokou. It turned out that the Spanish were inhabited by the Han people, but now there are only natives, while the new Han people are on the outermost periphery.

Hearing this, Paul Louis could no longer stop Paul from being so kind. He stepped forward and grabbed the guard, pulled him over and shouted, "What inland, what enemy!!"

"The Governor General, in the north, there are large groups of enemies, and the natives are running over."

The people in the room were standing staggering, and everyone's faces disappeared. They just said that relying on the inland area can be strong, but now they are attacked from both sides.
