"This treasure ship is worth £100,000!"

One by one, English sailors jumped onto the inactive Spanish treasure ship, and the Spanish captain and sailors on the treasure ship became their captives.

Navy Colonel Black, who was charging on the front line, hurriedly counted the trophy of the treasure ship and found that the gold, silver and cargo inside the treasure ship were worth about 100,000 pounds.

The treasures on this treasure ship can be used to build two sea kings!

"Haiti Island should have many treasure ships. If you grab a few more ships, we will have funds for our Royal Navy next year." Black looked excitedly at the boxes of gold and silver excavated by the Spanish from South America.

It is hard to imagine how much gold and silver they have transported back to Spain through treasure ships over the past century!

This treasure ship became a prisoner of the fleet, and the fleet coveted the Spanish's wealth even more.

The fleet landed on Haiti Island, and Prince Rupert personally led 5,000 Irish soldiers to embark on this West Indian island, which was very important to the Spaniards.

The Spaniards also learned that they were facing a powerful "pirates of the Caribbean". According to the return of the treasure ships that fled back, the number of pirate fleets suddenly appeared in the Caribbean Sea exceeded 30, with strong firepower.

"There is no pirate in the Caribbean that can organize such a large fleet. Which fleet from the European Kingdom must have wanted to occupy our colonies in the name of pirates. French? Or the Netherlands?"

"It could be English."

"Impossible. The Englishmen had to talk to us because they were defeated by our Spain. They probably didn't have the courage to attack us."

"You forget that King Charles of England has been killed, and the new one is Queen Sophia. Who knows if she will be enemies of our Spain like Queen Elizabeth."

The Spanish governor and a group of officers below could be seen at once that the attack on the treasure ship was not the local pirates. The pirates in the Caribbean used larger ocean-going ships, and it was difficult to gather more than 30 large ships here, and they had to operate in concert. The only explanation is that the fleet came from the European mainland.

5,000 Irish soldiers led by Prince Rupert swept across Haiti Island, captured several villages and towns in succession, obtained food supplies from the local area, and approached the city of Santo Domingo.

Sir Pennington, Colonel Black and others led the Royal Fleet to block the city of Santo Domingo from the sea.

"There are at least three treasure ships inside." Zheng He, where Zheng Chenggong is located, was patrolling the periphery and peeking at the situation in the port.

"Then we have to look at the signal of the landing force, and we can launch a general attack." Hannah wore a sword around her waist, using a small binoculars. She was also observing the situation in the port. "The Spaniards set up a coastal defense turret at the entrance to protect the harbor. We can only plunder these treasure ships unless we occupy the turret from land."

"These things are left to Prince Rupert," said Zheng Chenggong.

The Spanish did not have many defenders on Haiti. Or for the Spanish Kingdom with a population of 10 million, it was impossible to dispatch a large number of troops in Cuba, Haiti, Central America, Peru, Mexico and many other places. They could only rely on building solid fortresses and defending the vast colony with as little force as possible.

Prince Rupert's 5,000 Irish soldiers appeared to be numerous here. He quickly cleared the outer obstacles surrounding Santo Domingo and formed an encirclement with the navy to the city of Santo Domingo.

The attack on the Spanish forts and fortresses began, and Sir Pennington and Colonel Black attacked Santo Domingo in a very dangerous way - the fleet took the initiative to attack the coastal defense fortress.

Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Chenggong and his fleet also participated in the battle to destroy the Spanish fortress, and their solid shells fell on the Spanish fortress like a meteor shower!

The Spanish gunners fought back with cannons on the turrets, and a fierce artillery battle was held by the sea, and the fleet successfully attracted firepower for Prince Rupert to capture the city of Santo Domingo.

Hundreds of spherical shells flew across the air, and a shell even flew not far away from Zheng Chenggong, falling into the sea and splashing water.

"ah!!!"

A naval cadet was hit by a shell and screamed. He instantly lost one of his arms and was still losing a lot of blood!

"Military doctor, stop the bleeding!" Hannah, as the head of the group of people, nervously called the doctor who was accompanying the ship.

The naval cadets who had experienced a cruel battle for the first time were all pale. They were not so tragic in their previous training and never saw blood.

This battle was destined to leave an extremely deep impression on their cadets. On the sea, the captain and crew had to perform their duties during the battle. The shells might take any person's life, even if he was an officer.

The confrontation between the fleet and the turret lasted for an hour. A section of the turret of the Spanish turret was destroyed by solid bullets, and a few sailors on the fleet were also killed by stray bullets, but no ship was sunk by the turret.

"Two of us were killed and three were seriously injured."

After the battle was temporarily over, the Zheng He counted the casualties and found that the losses were quite large.

"Be sure to take good care of them..." Zheng Chenggong could only hand over his seriously injured classmate to the doctor on the ship for emergency assistance.

He began to realize the cruelty of war, which was just shooting against the fort at the periphery. If it were a real fleet fighting in the sea of ​​rage, the number of deaths would be even greater.

"God will guide you to heaven." Hannah prayed for her fallen classmates.

The battle on Haiti lasted for a day. Under the fierce offensive of Prince Rupert on land, the Spaniards in Santo Domingo could not hold on and finally surrendered.

The fleet occupied the city of Santo Domingo, captured hundreds of Spanish soldiers and seized dozens of artillery pieces. There were still many Spanish residents and slaves on the entire island, with their number estimated to be tens of thousands, scattered in different villages and towns.

The three treasure ships that took refuge in the harbor became the trophy of the Royal Fleet.

"You are English! According to the Treaty of Madrid, we should be in a peaceful relationship. If you tear up the treaty and fight undeclaredly, it will destroy our relationship. Our king will punish you for breaking your promises. The Invincible Armada will again come to England!" The governor of Spain, who was set up in Haiti, identified the siege and was very angry.

He did not expect that it was not the French and Dutch people who were fighting with Spain that attacked Haiti, but the cunning Englishmen who took the blame and started a war with Spain again.

"The Invincible Armada is no longer the Invincible Armada, and our Royal Navy is not the former Royal Navy." Sir Pennington sneered.
