The readx battle continued as the two looked on, with volleys from both sides opening up holes in each other like can openers.
However, it is a pity that more holes were opened in the Spanish warships.
The short-barreled artillery pellets fired a large number of wood chips in the cabins of the Spanish ships, spreading death and fear, causing chaos inside the enemy ships.
The Spanish combat power Lose quickly and gradually fail.
Of course, Zhao Lie's fleet was definitely not in pain.
With a bang, a shell shattered the guard panel of the cabin where Zhao Lie was located, passed through the cabin and came out from the other side.
Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone, because it passed through the cabin.
It was one side of the cabin, but dozens of wooden The bullets flew out like bullets raining down on everyone.
Fortunately, everyone wore Gothic full-body armor and were protected by iron shields.
However, some guards still screamed and fell to their knees.
Zhao Lie felt his left arm It was numb, and I saw a small piece of wood inserted into the arm guard.
"Calm down and help the wounded."
Zhao Lie shouted.
"Sir, your arm is injured."
Yu Dabao shouted.
Everyone heard the sound and looked over, joking.
They defended the Lord and even injured him.
It was really shameless.
This piece of wood was too weird.
When did it pass through, and it injured the Lord from the crowd of guards.
"It's okay, there's no bleeding."
Zhao Lie pulled out the wood splinters with his hands.
The insertion was not deep, and it didn't go deep into the skin.
There was no bleeding, but the impact was not small.
The guard on the ground had his thigh pierced by a two-inch wood splinter, and he was bleeding.
Everyone hurriedly bandaged him, stopping the bleeding was the first priority.
There were also a few guards who had their armor pierced by wood splinters, but they were all minor injuries and were being treated simply.
Fortunately, they were wearing full armor, otherwise the destructive power of these wood splinters would be quite high and it would never be possible for them to only cause this small amount of damage.
At this time, the shelling from both sides dealt a heavy blow to the other side, but the Spaniards were in worse shape.
Of course, except for the San Juan, half of the artillery of its opponent Li Guang stopped, and five large holes were opened in the side of the ship.
At this time, the Huo Qubing arrived and immediately launched a salvo less than a mile away. .
As a result, the San Juan, which had only had one hole drilled before, was drilled with several other large holes, and it began to become miserable.
The relatively neat salvos disappeared, and more scattered counterattacks were made.
The Spanish fleet was the most combative.
The powerful battleship was also severely damaged.
More than half of the artillery pieces of the three Spanish warships were silent.
One-third of the artillery pieces of Zhao Lie's four warships were also damaged, and they could only fire scattered volleys.
Both sides continued to fire weakly.
Wang Qiang, Qian Er, and Zhang Wei forced themselves not to pay attention to the movements of the three dead and wounded gunners across the gun emplacement.
They numbly continued their work, clearing the chambers, putting in medicine packs, and shells.
However, the dull deck hit the wounded.
The sharp shouting still made them tense and endure.
Abelardo and Angelo were like ants on a hot pot.
They were in a hurry and couldn't intervene.
They could only be reduced to spectators in an excellent position.

At this moment, the observation tower above their heads sounded several shrill horns, warning. .
The two of them looked into the distance and saw vague shadows of sails on the sea in the distance.
Five warships flying Portuguese flags appeared in their telescopes, and there were ships behind them.
The two looked at each other in despair, there was no hope.
No.
Now the enemy's four warships are too busy.
If the enemy comes with five more warships, they will definitely be defeated.
They didn't know that among these battleships, only the small-tonnage Pengyue and Zhou Yafu each had more than ten short-barreled twenty-four-pound guns.
The others were all small cannons.
This was Zhao Lie's order to kill the Dutch gunners with swords and guns.
The gunners who gathered together after catching up with the gun position reluctantly fought.
They were all good-looking and did not pose a big threat to the five-hundred-ton battleship.
Zhao Lie's worst estimate was that the enemy had ten frigates, and he used the speed of the clipper ships to launch a suicide attack, destroying five or six of them, and attacking the rest with warships and merchant ships.
Unexpectedly, the enemy only had three frigates, so Zhao Lie couldn't bear to part with either his own clippers or his opponent's frigates.
These were big guys of 500 tons or 600 tons.
Zhao Lie's own largest warship was just The Wei Qing, which weighs more than 300 tons, is really greedy.
However, Zhao Lie regretted it now.
His loss made him heartbroken.
The confrontation between the two sides in a short period of time made them both lose.
What a loss, and what they lost was the most in-demand talent.
Fortunately, at this time, the three merchant ships of Zhao Lie's fleet were two miles away and began to torture the decks of the enemy ships with shotguns and chain bombs.
Each merchant ship had ten long-barreled guns.
There was no need to think about opening holes, but Shotguns and chain bombs came like rain, sowing death on the decks of the three frigates, and the sails of the three ships were shattered. , individual masts were damaged, and more than half of the sailors were injured or killed.
The remaining sailors were forced to escape to the lower deck and cleaned the deck completely.
At once, the frigate was unable to maintain its broadside against the enemy ship, and there were already few guns.
The group only fired sparsely, and the others could no longer see their opponents.
However, the four enemy ships continued to fire at the stern and bow of the enemy ship.
After a few rounds, the three warships were damaged everywhere, which was extremely miserable.
At this time, the Zhou Yafu, Peng Yue, Feng Yi, Ma Yuan, and Geng Yan arrived three miles away and began to form a formation.
A quarter of an hour later, three warships would bombard an enemy ship.
"Surrender."
Abelardo said with dull eyes.
There is no hope.
Although there is a lot of gold and silver in the fleet, if you die, don't say anything.
At this time, saving your life is important.
As long as you can return to America one day, the gold and silver will be at your fingertips.
However, Abelardo did not expect that the road home would be so long.
Angelo issued the order in frustration.
The damage to the rudder made the giant ship just a spectator.
It could only lower the sails and slow down, becoming a waste that dragged down the fleet.
The three frigates fought bravely and fearlessly, and surrender was a matter of no choice.
Westerners feel no shame in surrendering when there is no possibility of victory, as long as they have the consciousness to pay the ransom.
The white flag was first hoisted on the St.
Louis Princess.
Moments later, the other four ships also hoisted white flags, and the Spanish surrendered.

The battle was over.
Qian Er and Zhang Wei gasped and fell down on the deck with silly smiles.
Their eyes were blankly looking at the larger enemy ship on the opposite side through the cracked side of the ship.
The gun deck was filled with joy, and almost all the sailors were jumping and shouting.
They finally won.
It was not easy.
This was the most intense of the three gun battles.
For the first time, there were heavy casualties on the gun deck.
The injured gunner next door didn't make it through and just died.
Victory, Zhao Lie looked at the St.
Louis Princess through the porthole with tears in his eyes.
The tears were heartbreaking.
The casualties this time were quite high.
The damn Spaniards are more cruel than the Dutch, and Zhao Lie really hates them now.
"Order to receive the enemy ship.
Bring the enemy's fleet command to the Wei Qing."
Zhao Lie ordered through gritted teeth.
He wanted to take good care of this Spaniard.
Abelardo and Angelo watched numbly and speechlessly as the enemy ships surrounded several of their own ships, with their dark muzzles aimed directly at a hundred paces away.
Everything is over, and soon they will start their career as hostages.
When dozens of enemies boarded the St.
Louis Princess, the two people were confused.
Except for one Portuguese, they were all Ming people.
What happened?
Could it be that they were defeated by the Ming people.
These Ming soldiers were different from the Ming people they remembered in the past.
The Ming people in the past were respectful and humble, but the Ming soldiers in front of them had sharp eyes, brisk movements, and deep hostility towards them.
When the boatswain reluctantly slowly let go When the sword was being worn, a Ming soldier stepped forward and hit the boatswain on the shoulder with the back of his sword.
The boatswain screamed and fell to the ground.
The other sailors immediately became more compliant.
Such a Ming army was cruel and ruthless.
The only Portuguese man told them in his broken Spanish that they should get off the boat and that the other party's adults wanted to see them.
Abelardo shrugged and got off the boat with Angelo and boarded the low boat.
The small boat of less than 100 tons was very light and nimbly passed through the enemy fleet and came to a slightly larger warship on the outermost side.
The two noticed that almost all the enemy soldiers were from the Ming Dynasty, which confused them.
Could it be that those who fought with us for a long time were all servants of the Portuguese?
God, this day is so weird.
When did the indigenous people become as powerful as the Europeans?
Are they still the humble and timid Ming people in the past?
These Ming people are more ferocious and good at fighting than the Dutch.
Abelardo made the sign of the cross and prayed for the blessing of God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and then climbed up the ladder.
He only had one thought now, just to return to Spain safely.
As for the loss of property, screw him, he could still care about it at this time.
Those ones.
