Chapter 717: Will anyone remember what we do tomorrow?

Xiao Wu hadn't fought in many years. However, he didn't panic. He calmly encouraged his subordinates, "Don't be afraid. They have guns and cannons given by Bi Dong. Even if the port cannot be defended, the miners in Jinshan Governor's Region can be armed."

Get up, you are not afraid of the red barbarians at all, the Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"The Ming Dynasty is completely victorious!"

Amidst the shouts and shouts, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Ming colony was once again high.

Zhu Kezang never imagined that New Spain would be in chaos even as the soldiers and immigrants he sent were on the road.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's armed merchant ships, warships, and the powerful Spanish fleet opened their gun windows almost simultaneously and stretched out their dark cannons.

The war has begun!

Boom boom boom!

Outside the port, both sides fired at each other on the side, and the shells fell into the sea, raising water columns several feet high.

The navy of New Spain shows off its superb fish frying skills!

After the bright moon passes, the fish near Jinshan Port will probably die in large numbers.

The skill level of the sailors of New Spain was average, and the missed cannonballs made splashes.

On the other hand, the sailors on the Ming warship were obviously well-trained.

The explosive shells they fired hit the side of the ship in large pieces, causing sawdust to fly from the Spanish warship, and the deck was littered with casualties.

The level of artillery fire on the armed merchant ships of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty was comparable to that of the fleet of New Spain, and they almost never hit the wrong leg.

But that didn't stop them from cheering because the Ming warships performed brilliantly.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have always been the strong backing of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Then the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty in Jinshan City faced the first battle since they came to Yinzhou!

On the sea surface, the cannons of the two armies continued to fire randomly, while on the shore there was a fort. The Ming Dynasty's artillery legs operated the artillery, desperately bombarding the Spanish warships. After the continuous bombardment, the artillery was red and hot.

There are too many enemy warships, which means that the enemy has a lot of artillery. Even if the Ming Dynasty's cannon legs are higher, it will be difficult to outnumber them!

"Why did the Spaniards come here?"

Seeing the spectacular and terrifying scene on the sea, the deputy, Lao Bian, was puzzled.

About six years ago, the two sides were signing the "Metro-American Trade Agreement" at the negotiation table, and they expressed that their cooperation was unlimited. How come they suddenly started working on it?

Lao Bian suddenly understood: a gold mine, it must be a gold mine, those shameless red-haired barbarians!

Governor Xiao Wu observed the battlefield and found that the Spanish fleet was in the upper hand. They had fifteen third- and fourth-level warships, and the cumulative number was about seven to eight hundred artillery pieces!

The Ming Dynasty was completely in the east wind.

Xiao Wu said in a deep voice: "Old Bian, do the Red-haired Yi want to seize their gold mine? He probably won't be able to defend the harbor. I will lead people to inform all units and prepare for street fighting!"

Hearing that Spain was seeking to seize the gold mines, Lao Bian showed a ferocious expression on his face and took out the ferocity of wiping out the cannibal tribe, "The red-haired barbarians sought to seize the gold mines, and he fought with them!"

Immediately, Lao Bian took people outside Jinshan City to mobilize the gold miners and the army.

Soon, alarm bells rang loudly outside Jinshan City.

At the city wall, there were two Ming miner brothers who looked very young. They were holding muskets. When they saw the artillery battle on the sea, there was a little fear in their eyes.

They are very young and have never experienced a real war in the era of thermal weapons.

Normally they would go hunting with muskets, but it was inevitably a bit difficult for them to suddenly face the Spanish army.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had a militia system, and their miners were taken away by the Ming Dynasty army from time to time to train for a few days.

Although his combat ability is average, he can at least fight.

But they rarely see artillery roaring in front of them, and they even tremble a little while holding the guns.

"Brother, can those miners defeat the red barbarians?"

"Young man, don't tremble. Grandpa Qi's soldiers are not miners. We miners are powerful."

"Excuse me, boss, I'm shaking too!"

"Baibei! It's all my fault. When he saw me shaking, he started shaking too!"

As the two miner brothers chatted, the fear disappeared a lot.

"Brother, let me tell you, will anyone remember what they do tomorrow?"

The younger miner looked solemn and pointed at the very few Ming navy.

"I will definitely do it. Even if my brothers from the Ming Navy unfortunately die in battle, they will be listed in the Martyrs' Shrine, and Bidong will avenge them!"

"He believes in Bidong!"

"Then pick up the gun and let the two brothers compete to see who can kill more enemies."

"good!"

Similar mistakes were made all over the city wall.

The morale of the Ming Dynasty's military and civilians is slowly recovering.

At this moment, the flagship of the Spanish fleet was here. Bartolome, the governor of New Spain, took out his telescope and stood on the deck of the flagship, looking at Jinshan Harbor.

That time the commander of the fleet of New Spain had an old relationship with the Ming Dynasty!

"Fire a volley of naval guns to destroy the Ming people there!"

Paulo de Vargas Hurtado, a student at New Spain, said through gritted teeth.

This person's name looks a bit familiar!

Is he the son of Juan, the governor of Luzon who was humanely destroyed by the Ming Dynasty?

Thanks to his father's help, the Ming Dynasty was able to recover the entire island of Luzon without any difficulty.

His father's shame and stain, he never dreamed of being washed away!

The Far East was not at the doorstep of the Ming Dynasty. He admitted that it was difficult for Spain to defeat the Ming Dynasty in the Far East and to recapture Luzon. But in the New World, at Spain's doorstep, it was different.

Fleet Commander Paul was very confident in destroying those Ming pagans to vent his hatred and avenge his father's shame.

Is he confident that because New Spain has mastered enough intelligence, the Ming Dynasty's colony has five warships and a thousand regular army troops?

The remaining people are not ordinary Ming people.

According to the experience of the Spaniards in Luzon, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty did not pay by mistake.

After all, whether their fathers could kill tens of thousands of people in Manila back then was no different from massacring natives in Central America!

He couldn't wait to destroy the Ming people in front of him and avenge his father.

Bartolome, the governor of New Spain next to him, seemed to understand his thoughts, "Paul, calm down, the enemy is not as numerous as them, fight slowly, they will be defeated."

"No, Lord Governor!"

At that time, the huge New Spain fleet was fully deployed on the sea, forming a long snake formation that was so majestic that it made the Ming Navy despair.

For a while, Haizai's victory was still unclear.

There was the Ming Dynasty's fleet outside the harbor and coastal defense batteries on the shore. The Spanish warships did not dare to approach and shoot, because the stability of the order of Bartolome, the governor of New Spain, was paramount. Just fight slowly and win.

Otherwise, both sides misfired at long distances, the hit rate was not high, and the effect of the artillery fire was not ideal.

Now, the Ming Dynasty's sea power is surrounded in the port, and they can't escape, they can only fight to the death.

The Spanish warships opened fire from side gaps and bombarded Jinshan Port. More than 700 artillery pieces bombarded the sea, and the smoke filled the sea!

The scene shocked the Ming immigrants fighting outside the city.

Some people are crying because their relatives are fighting hard on the warship!

"Mom, can daddy come back?"

A little girl of mixed Ming and Yin heritage cried and asked her Yin mother.
