At the same time, the cannons on the "Francis" also showed their power and let out an extremely frustrating roar!
At such a close distance, there was no need to aim at all. Most of the shells from both sides hit their targets. For a while, sawdust flew across the "Francis" and screamed again and again, but only a few splatters flew out of the "Haijiao" Sparks, it is rare to see sawdust flying everywhere!
"Oh God! The people of the Ming Dynasty are wearing iron armor!" First mate Jose noticed something was wrong at the first time and shouted in surprise!
First Officer Jose's roar alerted Commander Alfonso. He managed to stabilize his body and looked at the battleship on the opposite side with his binoculars. Sure enough, he saw that the wood-colored patent leather was damaged and exposed at the location where the opponent's battleship was hit. Black iron color!
Covering wooden warships with armor was actually not the first creation of the Ming Dynasty. The earliest record of armoring a warship should appear in "The Expedition of Alexander"!
It records that in 332 BC, when Alexander attacked the city of Tire (called Tyre in the Bible), some of the Tire warships were equipped with iron armor.
Later, the Macedonians followed suit and built some iron-clad ships. The famous iron-clad ships of later generations include Japanese iron-clad ships and Korean turtle ships.
But the installation of armor on the Galen ship was the first of the Ming Dynasty. However, this armor did not cover the entire ship. Instead, steel nail plates were installed on key parts of the ship and painted with wood grain paint for camouflage!
Today¡¯s battle is the first time that the Ming¡¯s armored battleships have been made known!
"What do these Ming people think? Aren't they afraid that adding iron armor to the battleship will increase the load on the battleship?" Commander Alfonso shouted desperately!
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
But Commander Alfonso¡¯s shouts were quickly drowned in the roar of the cannon!
"Sir! We can't defeat these Ming people. They have more warships than us, and their warships are equipped with iron armor. The most terrible thing is that their artillery fire rate is faster than ours. If we still insist, we can only We can be sent to the bottom of the sea!" First Mate Jose shouted while pulling Commander Alfonso!
Although First Officer Jose did not say the word "surrender", Commander Alfonso knew exactly what he meant!
After the anger just now, Commander Alfonso¡¯s sanity was blasted back by the cannon. Faced with such an unsolvable situation, Commander Alfonso could only nod sadly!
"Lower the sails! Raise the white flag!" First Mate Jose shouted at the top of his lungs after receiving the tacit consent of his superiors!
The sailor who received the order cut off the sail rope with a knife, and the huge sails on the three masts at the front, middle and rear of the "Francis" quickly fell. At the same time, the speed of the "Francis" suddenly dropped, which made the "Haijiao" quickly Drive past it!
"These foreigners really can't help but fight!" Han Siwen, who won the victory, smiled contemptuously, and then ordered: "Send someone to get their captain over!"
Soon the three warships under Han Siwen completed the siege of the "Francis". At the same time, a small boat was lowered from the "Haijiao". Five Ming sailors, led by a second lieutenant officer named Zhang Quanwu, rowed. He took the small boat to the side of the "Francis", and with the help of Spanish sailors, boarded the flagship of the Spanish fleet!
"Where is your captain? We adults want to see him!" Zhang Quanwu spoke fluent Spanish because he grew up freely in Manila. He shouted as soon as he got on the ship!
"I'm here!" Commander Alfonso tried his best to maintain the majesty of a nobleman, walked up to Zhang Quanwu and said: "I am the commander of the West-Dutch Combined Fleet, the rear admiral of the Kingdom of Spain, the Marquis Alfonso Garcia. I want to know Who has the honor to defeat me!"
Zhang Quanwu was confused by Commander Alfonso's words. Although he understood what the man in front of him meant, he couldn't understand why this foreign man who dressed in a very slutty style only had one ship. Why did he say that he was the commander of the combined fleet? !
But these matters are not his responsibility, so Zhang Quanwu just said in a routine manner: "Our Lord is Han Siwen, Commander of the Nanjing Fleet Gendarmerie of the Royal Guards of the Ming Empire. We, Your Lord, want to see you, come with us now!"
Commander Alfonso didn't know much about the control of the Ming Dynasty, so in his opinion, the person who defeated him must also be a noble general of the Ming Dynasty. However, he did not know the title of the other party, which made him a little unsure of the etiquette he should use to treat him. other side!
Looking at the hesitant look of the foreign man in front of him, Zhang Quanwu said impatiently: "You'd better come with me quickly, otherwise we adults will get angry."?, the lives of you people are at risk! "
Commander Alfonso showed contempt for the rude behavior of the Ming soldier in front of him, and then he said to Adjutant Jose: "Dear Jose, please come with me to see that Ming general! I hope you can He is a gentleman and will not treat us like savages!"
Adjutant Jose is also curious now as to why he encountered Ming warships here, because just after the battle, he calmly thought about it and felt that these three Ming warships could not be here to intercept them!
But if he wanted to know the answer to this matter, he had to go to the Ming Dynasty general opposite for verification, so he readily agreed to Commander Alfonso¡¯s request!
Still taking that small boat, Commander Alfonso and Adjutant Jose arrived on the "Haijiao"!
When facing Han Siwen, Commander Alfonso frowned and asked: "Please tell me first, are you a noble?"
After listening to Zhang Quanwu¡¯s translation, Han Siwen grinned and said, ¡°What does it matter whether I am a noble or not?¡±
Commander Alfonso frowned even more tightly. He raised his head and said: "I am a Marquis of the Kingdom of Spain. I cannot surrender to a civilian general, so you must bring me to a Ming Dynasty noble, because nobles can only I can surrender to the nobles!"
"What the hell are these rules?" Han Siwen scratched his head and said, "I defeated you, but you can't surrender to me. If we don't have a noble here, is this not over yet?"
"God! Why did this happen to me?" Commander Alfonso held his forehead in distress, and finally said: "Of course this matter will not end, but as a noble I cannot surrender to a commoner, so in order to be able to To make you qualified to accept my surrender, I decided to canonize you as a knight. Although this is outdated, it is better than having a noble surrender to a commoner!"
As the translator, Zhang Quanwu's face was extremely strange. He looked at Commander Alfonso like a monster. He really didn't know what this foreign guy was thinking!
Seeing that he was dazed, Han Siwen asked, "What did he say?"
"He said that as a noble he cannot surrender to the common people, so in order to surrender to you, sir, he decided to canonize you as a knight!" Zhang Quanwu said while suppressing a smile!
"Fart!" Han Siwen got angry all of a sudden. He kicked Commander Alfonso to the ground and said angrily: "I am a member of the Guards of His Majesty the Ming Emperor. How dare you, a red-haired ghost, say that you canonize him?" I? I¡¯m going to kill you directly today to see if you will surrender or not!¡±
Commander Alfonso was frightened by the furious Han Siwen. He endured the pain and wanted to say something more, but was held down by Adjutant Jose!
Adjutant Jose knows very well that if his idiot boss continues to talk nonsense, no one may survive today! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
