Daming pirates

The most difficult thing for Anthony next is whether he should lead the fleet back to Manila or continue to stay and attack Jilong Bay.

It's easy to withdraw, just slap your ass and leave, but what happens after you go back? He took so many ships, soldiers and sailors all the way to Taiwan Island, but he couldn't even defeat a group of Chinese pirates. This is not the Netherlands

When the people occupied Penghu, they faced the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers. There would be no shame in defeat.

But if he goes back and says that he was beaten all over the place by a group of Chinese pirates and runs back to Manila in despair, he will be completely humiliated. Even being sent to the gallows is a minor offense, and the whole of Spain will be in trouble because of him.

humiliated.

Who will look down on the Spaniards stationed in Luzon in the future! I am afraid that even the Chinese pirates who treated them respectfully in the past will no longer take them seriously in the future, so Spanish cargo ships will appear again in the future.

When in Nanyang, there is no guarantee that Chinese pirates will swarm them and slaughter them like chickens.

Another point is the Chinese immigrants living in Manila and Luzon Island. These people have very strong economic power in Manila and control a lot of financial resources. On the surface, these Chinese seem docile, but God knows if they will

One day, they will replace their Spanish rule over Luzon, drive them out of Luzon, and become the new masters there.

Anthony forgot one thing. Less than a hundred years ago, Luzon was still a vassal state of China. But now in the eyes of the Spaniards, Luzon is their forbidden territory. They have completely forgotten whose territory Luzon used to be.

.

He also recalled the Chinese riot in Manila more than twenty years ago. Even now, when he heard about that incident, the Spaniards were still frightened.

If they are defeated by a group of Chinese pirates this time, once the news reaches Manila, will the Chinese there still be as deferential to them as before?

Anthony didn't dare to think about it anymore. If he couldn't find a way to defeat this group of Chinese pirates, he would definitely not get any good results when he returned. This was a certainty.

But if he can capture Jilongwan, no matter what, he will always have an explanation when he goes back. Even if he is dismissed, he will not be hanged on the gallows.

So after much deliberation, he still didn't dare to lead the team back to Manila. He could only bite the bullet and persist a little longer, thinking of ways to see if he could capture Chicken Cage Bay in other ways.

That night, Anthony sent out several light speedboats. Under the cover of darkness, they once again reached the fort island and prepared to rescue the Spanish soldiers on the island.

But Sea Wolf did not make it easy for them.

After repelling the attack of the Spanish fleet for the second time during the day, more than a hundred Spanish soldiers were trapped on the island.

These Spanish soldiers were as panic-stricken as rabbits, hiding in the cracks of the rocks, not even daring to show their heads. During the day, they thoroughly experienced the power of the sea wolves, and they watched helplessly as those who transported them over

One by one, the small boats were sunk by sea wolves on the shore, cutting off their retreat, and then mowed them down in front of the fort like rice.

Then they killed their commander, and finally almost sank the large ship that tried to rescue them, forcing their ship to withdraw from the battle in despair, leaving them on the island.

And those damn Chinese pirates in Sea Wolf's fort kept shooting at them. If anyone was not careful, he would be shot down as soon as he showed his head.

The accuracy of the enemy's marksmanship made them feel incredible. Although the matchlock gun is very powerful, it is not easy to easily hit a person fifty meters away. However, there are obviously some enemies in the opponent's fort.

A few sharpshooters were armed with matchlock guns that looked like they had eyes, waiting to harvest their lives at any time.

These trapped Spanish soldiers were not so careful at first, but after several were killed one after another, they no longer dared to show their faces.

The sharpshooters of the Chinese pirates can hit their heads accurately and open their heads easily, so they only dare to lie down behind the rocks and don't even dare to fart easily.

Of course, the Chinese pirates in the fort did not let them stay among the rocks. After the fleet withdrew, these Chinese pirates also tried to clear them out.

A group of Chinese pirates armed with swords and guns came out of the fort and launched an attack on them, trying to clear them all off the island. The Spaniards still made some efforts and resisted vigorously, killing and wounding ten of them.

Several Chinese pirates themselves were killed.

So the Chinese pirates retreated to the fort and continued to use cold guns to deal with them.

The Chinese pirates kept shouting at them in the fort. Through the Chinese interpreter they brought with them, they learned that the pirates were shouting at them to surrender without killing them.

But surrendering to a group of Chinese pirates, it was obvious that the pride of these Spanish soldiers could not stand it, so they decided to continue to resist, because they still had a glimmer of hope in their commander, feeling that he would not abandon them and would definitely send troops at night.

The boat came to rescue them.

After dark, these hungry Spanish soldiers were hiding among the rocks. At this time, a beam of light suddenly dropped from the fort, illuminating their location.

This beam of light came from the fort, which shocked the Spanish soldiers. They didn't know how these Chinese pirates did this. They were able to concentrate the light and shine it in one direction, and it was so bright.

, someone then stretched out his head curiously, wanting to observe what it was.

But there was an unlucky guy who looked a little too carefully. He only stretched his head to observe the source of the light beam, but forgot that his head was exposed to the light beam. After a while, he heard the sound from the fort.

There was a gunshot, but the curious baby fell headlong under the rocks without saying a word.

When the people next to him looked at him again, they discovered that this guy's head had been opened and bruised. The enemy could actually hit him so accurately at night. This time, they were even more frightened and did not dare to show their heads.

These people were hungry and scared, and kept praying among the rocks, praying that their people would send a boat to rescue them from this hellish place.

At this time, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded on the sea. They quickly looked towards the sea. Through the darkness, they saw some lights on the sea. It was obvious that they were some small ships.

There were lights from the mast and the flashes of cannon fire.

They immediately realized that their ship was coming to pick them up, but the problem was that it was blocked on the sea by the patrol ship sent by Sea Wolf at night. At this time, the two sides exchanged fire.

Now, the sailors of the navy patrol stationed at Jilong Bay, who had been frustrated by Sea Wolf for so long, finally seized the opportunity.

They dare not go out of Jilong Bay during the day. They can only help soldiers garrison forts in the bay or set up checkpoints at various intersections. They only dare to go out of the bay at night and patrol the sea to prevent the Spaniards from sneaking into Jilong Bay at night.

.

As a result, today they finally caught these three Spanish speedboats trying to sneak to Heping Island in the dark at night to pick up their trapped soldiers.

So these navy men who had been feeling aggrieved for several days now had to stand up to no one. They couldn't fight those big plywood boats during the day, so how could they not be able to fight these small boats that were used to dry silk people at night?

So in the darkness of the night, they immediately fired a salvo of cannons at three Spanish speedboats, screamed and rushed over, and started a boarding battle with a Spanish speedboat.

As a result, after a short period of fierce fighting, several patrol boats of the Navy actually succeeded in capturing a Spanish sloop and drove the other two Spanish speedboats away from the entrance of Jilong Bay, completely breaking the

Thoughts of the Spaniards trapped on the island.

Seeing that the ships that came to rescue them were driven away by the Sea Wolf ships, the Spaniards on the island were completely desperate. A small number of Spaniards with good water qualities simply threw away everything, jumped into the sea, and swam to

In the darkness, they wanted to find a place to land near Jilong Bay, and then escape back to their temporary anchorage at night.

But most of the soldiers, because they are not sailors and their water quality is not good, stared at them but did not dare to jump into the dark sea water.

island.

When Antony heard the sound of cannons on the sea, he knew that his plan to send a ship to rescue the soldiers at night had once again failed. These pirates were too bold and dared to patrol the sea at night. During the day, his fleet had the advantage.

But at night, he dared not mobilize the large fleet to fight against the Sea Wolf ships.

Although those Kron ships do not have strong firepower, they are very familiar with the hydrological conditions in this area. They know exactly where there are rocks and where the water is shallow. If they go to trouble them at night, they may be caught by them if they are not careful.

Lead to a group of rocks or shoals and run aground on the rocks.

So he could only mobilize speedboats to rescue the soldiers, but their speedboats were no match for the Kron ships equipped with cannons at sea. As expected, two of the three ships sent out soon escaped, and even two Kron boats escaped.

The warships even ran near their anchorage and fired several cannons at them from a distance. When they fired back, the two warships immediately extinguished the lights on their masts and disappeared into the dark sea.

In the second half of the night, Heitou sent some more people to Heping Island, including some native auxiliaries who were good at night activities. Immediately after landing on the island, he and Sun Baoqiang and Feng Twelve began to launch a final attack on the remaining enemies on the island.

of the eradication.

A large number of Sea Wolf tribesmen, carrying flintlock guns with bayonets and rattan short spears, surrounded a reef where the Spanish soldiers were hiding, and then began to clean up the Spanish inch by inch.

In the dark night, the matchlocks used by the Spaniards were useless. They had to light the matchlocks at all times before they could have a chance to fire. However, the result of lighting the matchlocks exposed their location, which immediately led to the attack of the Sea Wolf Musketeers.

shooting.

The Sea Wolf was equipped with a flintlock gun. There was no need to light the match at night, so it could shoot concealed. The Spaniards suffered a great loss.

In the end, these Spaniards were squeezed into a small beach reef. Seeing that they still wanted to resist, Sun Baoqiang ordered grenades to be thrown at them.

As a result, little flashes of fire began to light up from all directions. After the grenadier lit the fuse of the grenade with a match rope, he threw it hard towards the location of the Spanish soldiers.
