Miel was awakened by the loud roar of artillery.
In amazement, he rolled to the window, and through the gap of the curtain, he saw the flames in the military port, and in the sea not far away, a huge fleet was launching a fierce attack on their warships.
The Spanish battleships in the naval port suffered heavy losses. Several battleships were completely engulfed in flames, while three battleships were slowly sinking.
"What the is going on?"
Miel cursed while buttoning the white shirt.
Passing through three pretty and trembling women, Miel rushed out, trying to figure out who was attacking their warship.
Running towards the dock, Miel quickly met Joseph who was coming.
"Your Excellency, our military port has been attacked. The despicable Dutch and the people of Da Yu are now united." Joseph said anxiously. Now he no longer has the relaxed expression of yesterday.
Miel's face was immediately pulled down, and he said gloomily: "Let the soldiers gather. Since the people of Da Yu and the Dutch have started the war, our great Spaniard will let them see how powerful we are."
"It's just your Excellency the Governor. It is said that the present Dayu Kingdom is no longer the old Dayu Kingdom." Joseph was a little worried. The time when Dayu Kingdom attacked them was too clever.
He suspected that the massacre of Huayan State caused the dissatisfaction of Dayu State.
And one of their reasons for massacring Huayan is that they are worried that Huayan’s collusion with Great Chongqing will threaten their rule in the Philippines.
Miel frantically said: "Who the cares about what the country is like now? Now they are attacking us. All we have to do is kick their and send them to the sea to feed the fish. Listen, now Assemble the army immediately. We must preserve the achievements of the Spanish generations here and protect our colony."
"Yes." Joseph answered and rode towards the barracks.
Miel forgot to look at the inferior fleet, and became more and more anxious. He rode a horse along the coastline and yelled, letting the soldiers enter the position of the coastal defense gun, and fired on the battleships of the Great Yu Kingdom and the Dutch battleships in the sea.
At sea, Yue Yun had been watching the movement near the military port. This time he led enough warships, and it was no simple matter to destroy only twenty Spanish warships.
Seeing the coastal defense artillery fire at the sea, he immediately ordered the warships on standby to destroy the coastal defense facilities of the military port, and at the same time let the Marine Corps land in a small boat to seize the coastal defense battery.
It has to be said that these coastal defense guns are built in thick fortresses, and it is difficult to destroy these coastal defense guns just by relying on their artillery.
But they pose a great threat to the warships in the military port.
Like many naval ports, the naval port of Bohol is also a semi-arc shape. Soon, the Spaniards entered the coastal defense facilities, and they began to attack the warships of Great Chongqing on the shore.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery of the two sides fired at each other in the arc-shaped military port, and the artillery shells fired by the battleship of the Great Yu State brought a burst of flame every time it exploded.
The Spaniards used 32-pound coastal defense heavy artillery to bombard the battleships of Da Yu and the Netherlands.
"Damn it, I really should buy some bombshells from Da Yu, now the people of Da Yu will only laugh at us." Eric looked at the Spanish soldiers on the shore with his binoculars.
Their warships are using solid shells to bombard the shore defense artillery, but this has little effect. In contrast, the battleships of the Great Yu State have achieved more brilliant results. As long as one shell is concentrated on the shore defense artillery, the Spanish soldiers will fall .
"Boom boom boom..."
The shells of Spanish coastal defense artillery flew from the shore, and sawdust flew in the place where the shells hit. The unlucky Dutch crew was hit by the shells and was directly deformed by the shells, and the stumps of blood filled the deck.
Eric became more impatient when he saw this. If it weren't for the main attack of the Great Yu Kingdom this time, they would never dare to come, because just this coastal defense gun was enough to destroy his warship.
"Log in, log in!"
In the chaos, seeing the battleship of Dayu State starting to lay down the troop carrier, Eric also called out that the fastest way to kill the shore defense artillery is to land.
Compared with Eric's embarrassment, Yue Yun had a serious face. After the Spanish coastal defense artillery fired back, the Spanish warships in the naval port basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Most of the warships were sinking, while the remaining warships were burning and could not fight back at all.
However, the Spanish shore defense artillery still posed a big threat to them, and he heard the sound of solid shells piercing the planks from time to time.
This Spanish coastal defense heavy artillery is very powerful, because it is located on the shore and the barrel of the artillery is very long, which is enough for the artillery to shoot a 32-pound shell very far.
The wooden hulls of their warships could not stop the attack of this kind of shells, and the battleships of the Great Chongqing State would often be directly penetrated by the shells.
"All warships cover the soldiers landing and shooting." Looking at the warship in the sawdust atmosphere and listening to the soldiers' screams, Yue Yun's expression became more and more solemn.
This is the first time that the Da Yu State fleet has fought against a Western power at sea. Unlike the previous one-sidedness, they now have to bear more casualties in the war.
After all, although Spain has fallen, it was once the overlord of the oceans. Its face is lost, but its foundation is still there.
Upon receiving Yue Yun's order, the battleship of the Great Yu Kingdom began to adjust its direction to bombard the fort on the shore, and hit fiercely. The entire military port was covered by gunpowder and flames.
On the coast, groups of Spanish troops rushed to the coast from the Royal Spanish City. In order to form an effective rule over here, a total of more than 9,000 troops were stationed here.
Only at this time more than 9,000 people are distributed on Bohol and surrounding islands ~EbookFREE.me~ Only 5,000 soldiers can be mobilized by Miel.
"Damn it! Damn it! Get me out of all the troop carriers in the sea!" Three hundred troop carriers lined toward the coast, and Miel became more anxious.
Once these soldiers land successfully, they will lose the entire colony.
At this time, in addition to the shore defense artillery, the Spanish soldiers also brought field artillery. They aimed their muzzle at the sea troop carrier. After aiming, they lit the arquebus.
"Boom boom boom..."
Sixty field guns fired at the sea from the beach at the same time. The dense shells flew towards the soldiers of the country. Three troop carriers were hit and the planks were directly penetrated. The power of the shells continued to rush towards the soldiers inside the ship. A soldier fell in a pool of blood.
The remaining soldiers saw their comrades fall and gritted their teeth one by one, their eyes flushed. Although some soldiers were afraid, they still rushed to the beach decisively.
Fighting for the glory and interests of the country, this is their reason for existence.
