Acunia hurried out to convey Sanchez's orders.

At this time, the lower-level officers in Spain were indeed of good quality and could be regarded as the title of the most powerful army in Europe, both in the navy and in the army.

After receiving Sanchez's order, even though they knew that the casualties would be severe, many people would even die silently today, and these lower-level officers still carried out Sanchez's orders.

If Zheng Zhilong's fleet was not so ammunition, if Zheng Zhilong did not order firepower to be covered every mile, Sanchez's order was indeed useful. At least the surviving shore defense cannons would pose a huge threat and casualties to the Ming South China Sea Fleet.

Because the caliber and diameter of the shore defense cannon are brutal enough, and the firepower is also brutal enough, as long as a shell falls on the body of the warship, it will be a huge hole.

At least Zheng Zhilong's current judgment is that the Franchise barbarians must have shore defense cannons, and it will pose a huge threat to the fleet, even if they are all new lucky ships under their command, they dare not say that they can resist shore defense cannons without any injury.

But Zheng Zhilong had one thing wrong in his prediction.

Zheng Zhilong compared the Spanish shore defense artillery with the Ming Dynasty to draw the terrible conclusion of the shore defense artillery, so he continued to cover the firepower.

But the actual situation is that the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense cannons will be updated almost every two or three years during the ten years when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne. From the beginning, it was not as good as the Fran machine cannon, to now it can point at the Fran machine cannon and laugh at the other party for fighting against the Five Slags. Their power is naturally incomparable.

As for the continuous firepower coverage of the shells and supplies fired, Zheng Zhilong was not very worried. After all, in addition to the twenty-four main battleships, eight lucky ships were loaded with ammunition.

As long as these twenty-four warships do not all the inventory ammunitions at one time, they can rotate supplies and fire to achieve the effect of gapless firepower coverage.

So Sanchez should have been very likely to succeed and give the South China Sea Fleet a heavy blow, but the final result was to trick the Spanish army responsible for shore defense.

Because the shore defense cannon is clearly visible in order to ensure firepower, volume and weight, it is very difficult to move, and some of them are simply fixed and cannot move for the sake of being firm.

Finally, a shell shot from the Fu Ship kissed a Spanish shore defense cannon with a sharp whistling sound.

When the shells of the two powerful countries in the East and the West kiss together, if the dry firewood meets the fire, the pheasant meets the hooligan.

With a loud bang, there was the fire that soared into the sky, followed by the explosion of nearby artillery shells and the flames.

With a "pah", he spat out the mud and sand in his mouth, shaking it and hit the wall due to the huge vibration caused by the shell explosion. His head, who was still a little confused, was still a little confused. Diego Velasquez shouted angrily: "Tell the Governor, we ask for retreat! This is not persistence, this is death!"

But no one around responded to Velasquez's orders. In a rage, Velasquez repeated his orders loudly again.

However, only the response to him was the sharp whistling and explosion caused by the Ming army fleet's seemingly endless firepower.

After shaking his head again, Velasquez realized that something was wrong around him.

Only when I sat up, the others didn't react at all, as if they were all dead.

Velasquez's head was still a little confused, but the habit he had developed on the battlefield for a long time still made him stretch out his hand. What if there was a living thing?

The saying that one person has more strength is often common. Whether in the East or the West, there are many people who understand this truth, and Velasquez is one of them.

He kept digging and digging, even though his fingers were about to bleed, Velasquez couldn't dig out a few people.

Even the five dug out were basically shocked by the huge explosion and became fools.

Sitting dejectedly on the ground, Velasquez didn't even care about the image he paid the most on weekdays.

I have never been so frustrated. Before I could see the shadow of the enemy, my troops on my side had completely collapsed.

Even when the Dutch were in power, Spain failed, but it was not as good as it is today.

This is no longer a failure. To be precise, Satan's power came to the world. This should be a destruction that God can stop, not what the Spanish soldiers can do.

In this situation, why do you need to ask the Governor to ask whether to evacuate or not? There are probably only a few people left in the entire shore defense position. In addition to himself, there are a few idiots. Who should I guard against?

A smile that was even worse than crying was squeezed out on his face, and Velasquez pulled out a hand gun from his body.

This pistol bought from the Dutch is really a good thing. Although the launch method is relatively primitive and the fuse needs to be lit, it is enough to kill a person at close range.

I have always liked this handheld. Although I have never used it to kill others, it is not bad to end my life now?

Velasquez, who was slumped on the ground, no longer thought about other problems. After lit the fuse with trembling ignition, he pointed the muzzle at his temple.

The fuse is left a little long, so that you will have enough time to pray, pray God to forgive yourself for such a cowardly behavior, and have time to silently say goodbye to your family.

Goodbye, my dear wife, de Silva next door has been coveting you for a long time, and you don’t seem to suffer even if you follow him.

Goodbye, my lovely daughter, I hope you don’t find another soldier to be your husband.

Goodbye, my son who can’t speak yet, I hope you won’t go to the army in the future, and don’t come to the Far East even if you join the army. It’s so fucking scary.

After a violent death, Akunia, assigned by Sanchez, once again rushed to the position where the shore defense artillery was located, and just happened to save Velasquez, who was seeking death before the fire was burned out: "God is above, what are you doing?"

Velasquez was not grateful for Acunia's actions to save him, even if Acunia fell to her nose and face when she rushed over.

The whole person's spirit seemed to be drained, and Velasquez looked around at the shore defense position and said, "As you can see, I plan to end my life and meet God. I cannot survive with the reputation of a loser."

Akunia said in surprise: "God tells us that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and should be properly maintained. If you end your life, you will not be received by God."

After sneering, Velasquez ignored Akunia's words at all, but he no longer had the courage to raise the gun again, and just buried his head deeply between his knees.

But Akunia continued: "The Governor ordered the shore defense artillery to launch a counterattack, but judging from the current situation, there is probably no hope?"

But Velasquez suddenly fell into anger: "Let the damn Governor fire the artillery and counterattack by himself! More than a thousand people died, let him fire the artillery by himself! If there are still cannons that have not been destroyed!"

Akunia is not a blind man, so she naturally saw the situation of the shore defense position. She just took a deep breath and ignored the collapsed Velasquez and went back to report to Sanchez.

Velasquez has been destroyed, his courage has been beaten away, and the shore defense position has been declared to be gone and has no help.

The most urgent task at the moment is to let the Governor know the situation of the shore defense position so that the Governor can make a correct response.

The location of Sanchez's command was indeed good. On a small hill, it was not too far from the shore defense position. It was about twenty miles away. Akunia could come back to convey the orders on a horse, but there was no need to worry about being shot by Ming army artillery to the command center.

However, too long distances bring great inconvenience, that is, the telescope is not clear enough to observe the frontier positions, and Akuña always needs to run back and forth.

After Akunia ran back to Sanchez's command again, before she could drink water and ease her mouth, she saluted directly: "Governor General, the shore defense artillery position has been declared lost, almost all of them were killed, and there is no value to defend anymore!"

Sanchez nodded and said, "I understand."

Sanchez knew everything about the shore defense position just now. Although it looked a little blurred through the telescope, the vibrations from more than twenty miles away could not be fake, let alone the huge explosion.

Unfortunately, the shore defense position I carefully arranged was declared scrapped before it could play its role.

These Ming troops are really rich. Although this method of using shells to smash a road is wasteful, the effect is real.

If the Spanish government had so much money and so many shells to squander, could the Dutch still make waves?

But without the if, in fact, the Spanish government wouldn't have so much money and shells for the army to squander.

In fact, before the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty did not have so much money for the army to squander, and even the equipment of the Ming army was not as good as that of the Spanish army.

But just like the words Emperor Chongzhen heard in later generations, all problems that can be solved with money are not called problems.

As a large number of corrupt officials were raised by pigs, their homes were searched, and a large number of commercial taxes were added to flow into the treasury under the deterrence of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Moreover, because the business of Fushou Paste was soaring, silver was no longer a problem.

When you have no money, you have to pretend to be a grandson and when you should be a timid person, you have to be timid person. But when you have money, you can naturally be willful.

Now both Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty Treasury are very rich, so if you have money, you will naturally be willful.

Seeing that Sanchez had not said anything for a long time, Acunya asked tentatively: "Governor General?"

Sanchez, who had just come to his senses, smiled indifferently and said, "I'm fine, I'll send orders down, retreat five miles from the first line of defense, make way for them to land the barbarian army of the Ming Kingdom.

The second line of defense behind extends forward, as close as possible to the first line of defense. The third line of defense extends forward five miles from the second line of defense."

Seeing Akunia looking very curious, Sanchez explained: "Through the artillery bombardment of the Ming barbarians just now, I found that their cannons had a maximum range of about ten miles.

After the first line of defense retreated five miles, the artillery on their warships could no longer provide support for the infantry artillery they landed, at best allowing their infantry to build positions on the beach.

As for the second line of defense, it is to prevent these barbarians from relying on the advantage of large numbers of people to break the first line of defense."

Akunia said: "When the third line of defense comes forward and the second line of defense is the worst plan?"

Nodding, Sanchez said: "Yes, if the first and second lines of defense are collapsed, then relying on the third line of defense, we can support for a while and build a new line of defense. Once the third line of defense is too close to the second line of defense, it may be continuously broken by the barbarians, and then we will become a beauty stripped naked in the back."

On the flagship where Zheng Zhilong is located, Zhao Qing felt that his heart was bleeding and so many shells were shot out, but they were all white money! This should have been the emperor's, but in just a moment, it was gone!

But I have to admit that Zheng Zhilong’s approach is right.

Just when the Franchise human shore defense cannon exploded just now, Zhao Qing already understood that Zheng Zhilong’s approach was correct.

If these shore defense cannons are not removed first, once the warship approaches the seaside and then ascends the throne, it will not only be the landing soldiers, but also the warships are in danger.

In this way, a lot of money was saved, but how to explain it to the emperor after he went back became a fatal problem.

What's more, after spending a long time in the army, Zhao Qing also understood that it was not as easy to train a qualified naval soldier as a guard. There were too many words inside!

The simplest thing is that the soldiers in the guards don’t have to care whether they can swim or not. Navy soldiers can’t swim or not is a bullshit!

This alone requires a large number of people to be wiped out, and then they have to complete various subjects to become a qualified naval soldier.

There was too much time and money spent in the middle, so we can understand why the emperor attached so much importance to the lives of Qiu Ba and did not care about money.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong didn't know that Zhao Qing had thought of such messy things in such a while, but instead ordered his personal soldiers: "Send the order, Fuyuan, Weiyuan, Weiyang, Wuwei, Zhenwei, and three rounds of artillery bombardment to cover it! The guys who sent the orders to the garrison told them to log in!"
