Chapter 580 If you want to run, it's not so easy to lose the battle, and you still want to surrender with dignity?
Want to eat fart?
Quan Xu is not Japanese, during World War II, the Japanese captured German soldiers, not only to give them the treatment of naval soldiers or the same level, but also to pay salaries, for example, high standards and high treatment of naval soldiers, but later financial difficulties changed to the army standard.German prisoners and soldiers can enjoy coffee, bread, steak, and wine, which is where the prisoners of war are simply vacations.Sir Hono had a very good reason: "Your Excellency, you and I are all part of the civilized world, and we should not be as barbaric as those natives!"
”"Barbarism?"
Quan Xu stared at Huo Nuo coldly and said, "You are qualified to mention barbarism to me?"
When you raised your butcher's knife and seemed to be afraid to slaughter the subjects of Your Majesty the Ming Empire, did you ever think about barbarism?
Ever thought about civilization?
”"It shouldn't be like this, the death of those Ming people has nothing to do with us, yes, it's all Tagalog people and ...... who do it" European countries like to play double standards, and people have historical traditions, which is a habit developed since the Great Voyage period.Just like the word colony, which theoretically did not exist, the British Empire and the Spanish Empire considered colonies to be also territories.In particular, in the United Kingdom, all the colonies claimed to be the territory of the Queen, and the population of the colonies was also British.Quan Xu looked at the bright night sky in the distance: "You have chosen the war, and the door to peace talks has been automatically closed, the war you provoked, when it will end, only I have the final say, of course, you are not qualified to make conditions with me, you are not worthy, you are just a prisoner of mine, that's all!"
”Sir Huo Nuo wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Yuan Zongdi stepped forward and threw a fist: "Shut up!"
”Whether it is Yuan Zongdi, or the soldiers of the whole family army, there is no reverence for these Westerners at all, the whole family army is not closed to the country, the Liaodong Gun Bureau, or the major factories There are also some technicians or scholars who have been fooled by Helena, working and living in Liaodong.They don't have any privileges, when Liaodong celebrates the Spring Festival, a large number of firecrackers are set off, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only endure it, because there are more than 100 Europeans in Liaodong.Moreover, there is no separate living area with them, although it is said that Westerners and Ming people live together, and there may be conflicts or social problems in a short period of time.However, under the subtle influence, they will naturally be assimilated, and the current Portuguese cannon casting technicians are Chinese thieves, if you don't consider the color of the race, just listening to the voice, it is difficult to distinguish them, they are Westerners.The Dutch East India Company has been established for more than 30 years, and later generations say that their initial share capital is 6.5 million guilders, and the annual stock income is 40 percent, and the weight of the Dutch horse sword silver coin is 33.6 grams, which is almost equivalent to more than 5 million taels of silver.On the sea outside the port of Shengzhou, the combined fleet of the fifteen European countries had withdrawn from the port at a distance of two thousand meters, and they were just unwilling to retreat like this.With an absolute superiority in naval artillery and an absolute superiority in numbers, they also lost one-third of their warships, especially the most unacceptable thing for them is that the guns of the batteries are almost aimed at large warships of more than 800 tons, even if the Dutch East India Company has a lot of money, it can't bear such losses.The losses of the Luzon defenders are not yet known, but judging by the density of the fire of their counterattack, the casualties are certainly not large, and in fact, until now, his fleet has not been able to destroy even a single artillery piece of the Shengzhou Port Battery.If we continue to fight, it means that the losses will continue to rise, and if we don't fight, the 15th Combined Fleet of Europe will lose all our strength.These European sea explorers all fell into hesitation.Although they were unwilling, they still had to admit that in the face of the whole family army, they really underestimated the enemy, and they should have blockaded Taiwan with a fleet as Zheng Zhilong said, cut off the supply of Taiwan and Luzon, and forced the whole family army and navy to take the initiative to come and compete with them.In this way, they should fight and retreat, and lead the whole family navy to the Strait of Malacca, according to intelligence, the whole family army navy has not yet penetrated into the Strait of Malacca, and they are very unfamiliar with the sea conditions of the Strait of Malacca.In a strange and small sea area, you can wait for an opportunity to annihilate it.Fight according to what Zheng Zhilong said, even if you can't win a big victory, you won't be so passive, but the most correct strategy was laughed at by them and thrown aside.Now that I'm suffering, what should I do?
Reilly III looked at the disgraced Zheng Zhilong and said, "Zheng, you say, what should we do now?"
”Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly: "The Spaniards have been operating in Luzon for more than 70 years, so they should be more familiar with Luzon, although there is a fort in Manila, I don't believe that they can still build the entire Luzon Island into a fort!"
”Colonel Juan Carlos, a Spaniard, is the commander of the Spanish-style fire regiment under Zheng Zhilong, in fact, under Zheng Zhilong, there are more than 430 commanders in the Spanish Army, and the officers above the second lieutenant platoon commander are all Spaniards.This platoon, unlike the platoon of later generations, is a platoon of guns shooting, a platoon of more than 120 people, almost equivalent to a company.The generals under Zheng Zhilong's command were only nominal commanders, and now he had six integrated Spanish phalanxes and had been trained for more than a year, while in fact the four phalanxes had been trained for three to seven months.Zheng Zhilong's plan was to retreat first, land from other sides, seize the fort with army infantry, and then carry out the landing to seize the port.In the process of landing in the early stage, the landing troops lost were actually Japanese samurai, and Zheng Zhilong, who was two or three thousand people, was not distressed.His descendants basically had no losses.The biggest problem of the European Combined Fleet is that there is no way to form a unified command, Spain, as a small European overlord, naturally wants to command, and the Dutch East India Company, as the strongest United Fleet, especially the Dutch have fired the first shot of betrayal from the Kingdom of Spain.This kind of thing, naturally, will not give up.From the beginning of Batavia's negotiation of a joint dispatch of troops, to the first encounter between the Taiwan Strait and the whole family army and navy, until now, more than two months have passed, and there is still no unified command.If you count the beginning of Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch preparing to form a game against the whole family army, then this time has been more than ten months, nearly a year, and there is no unanimous opinion.There's no one left.This is actually quite normal, the Dutch East India Company, the first battle is to rob the Portuguese Cape Colony, which is now Cape Town, the capital of South Africa.The Dutch East India Company was extremely aggressive, robbing not only the Portuguese but also the Spaniards, and often fought with the British, and many parties often scuffled.Hatred and distrust, which caused difficulties in their union, if it were only the Dutch East India Company, then the situation would be much simpler, and if the armada of the Spanish Empire had not fallen, and there was an absolute deterrent, then the problem would have been no less simple.Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, the national power is thriving, they need their own voice, and the quarrel is endless, at this moment.......The shore defense batteries of the whole family army began to fire again, and the flying batteries smashed the two warships closest to the dock into flames, and sprinkled a thick handful of salt on the original bloody wounds of the European Union Fleet."
Oh God, now they're two thousand five hundred meters away from the battery, right?""
More than two thousand yards for sure!""
How could their artillery go so far?""
Who knows?"
If it was before today, they didn't know that artillery could actually fire incendiary bombs and rocket artillery shells, and at this time, the formation of the European Combined Fleet, which had just stabilized, was chaotic again.The sky, and the lack of visibility in sight, frightened them, fled one after another, and in panic they collided with each other, and knocked over several light warships, and the sound of cries and curses resounded on the sea.The rocket artillery of the whole family army also took the opportunity to fire, although the hit rate was very low, but it further exacerbated the confusion, and the European combined fleet even desperately rammed into the friendly warships blocking their way in order to avoid artillery fire, and some even fell unlucky enough to hit the reef at the house of the guys, and the sound of huge explosions and hulls cracking was terrifying."
So, we won?"
Li Xin actually didn't think that he could count on eighteen forts to win the battle, although he was not a professional soldier, but he had never eaten pork, and he had seen pigs run.How many guns were on a battleship, how many shells could be fired in one artillery salvo, he knew."
What if you don't win?"
Wang Zhongning smiled bitterly: "We have fired nearly a thousand shells, there is not much ammunition in stock, the barrel has reached the limit, they hold on for a while, we can only fight bayonets!"
”The European Combined Fleet did not know that at this time they were only one step away from real victory, and it was not ordinarily difficult to count on the defense of the Luzon Army's coastal defense forces to defend the port of Shengzhou without losing the powerful weapon of rockets.In fact, it is not that Luzon does not have garrisons, but most of the garrisons are going deep into the mountains and grasslands and beginning to clear the natives, unlike the European colonies.The Ming Dynasty needs only land, not population.The Ming Dynasty had people, and there were a lot of people, the Tang Dynasty's army was strong, and the territory expanded very quickly, but it could not rule effectively, and the root was that there were no people.In the Zhenguan Dynasty, where the Tang army was the strongest, the population was less than 20 million, and the territory was much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty.The European Combined Fleet hurriedly retreated, but although they left the port of Katsushu, they pounced directly on Batangas, eighty kilometers south of the port of Katsushu.The eight wild geese are no longer called the eight wild geese, but the city of Fengzhou, which means the city of harvest.It was very dangerous to sail overnight, and shortly after the departure of the European Combined Fleet, there was a loud bang, and a 400-ton warship that was the vanguard was blown open a huge gap, and the sea water quickly poured into the cabin
