The Chinese army was coming fiercely, and Francesco was truly anxious.

He never expected that Dahua was so determined and acted so quickly.

As a result, he has no time to react at all.

Of course, even if he was given another month, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

By now, Francisco can only grit his teeth to challenge.

It's not his personality to sit and wait, and he hasn't fought a battle that defeats the strong with the weak.

After deciding on a deadly battle, Francisco sent out his only fleet, a total of 13 main battleships, and laid ambush in a harbor about 15 kilometers away from Manila.

Francisco is not arrogant enough to think that he can defeat the UOB head-on, not to mention the quality of the warships, but the quantity alone will be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he used his defensive advantages to make some layouts.

There is no doubt that the Chinese army will attack Manila's stronghold when they come.

This allows him to accurately predict the actions of the Chinese army without making mistakes.

Francesco planned to wait for the Chinese army to attack its own shore defense artillery, and then let the fleet suddenly emerge from behind the Chinese army and attack Dahua's logistics transport ships and troop carriers.

As long as it causes heavy losses to the Chinese army, Dahua will be worried and return to the negotiating table.

This is his typical Western thinking, where interests are paramount. They rarely thought of completely destroying each other in a war, and felt that they just had to convince the other party.

In fact, all kinds of naval battles in Western Europe are almost the same. They are afraid that they will suffer heavy losses and rarely wipe out the other side.

Basically, after the two sides fought a battle and recognized each other's strength, they were handed over to politicians to negotiate.

In the previous battle of Anglo-Western Seas, Spain was not half damaged in the battle, and then it directly surrendered.

Even in the future battle, the so-called largest and most intense battle in Jutland, it was like this.

Germany dispatched 99 warships and Britain dispatched 151 warships. The two sides fought for nearly a day and night.

Germany killed more than 2,000 people and sank six main battleships, while Britain killed more than 6,000 people and sank 14 main battleships.

Then, there is no after.

With so many losses, both sides are a little afraid, can't bear such a heavy loss, and dare not fight anymore.

After that, the German fleet was shrunk in a military harbor, relying on shore defense artillery protection, and did not dare to go out again, nor did the British dare to enter, or it was not necessary to enter.

This kind of thinking is passed down in the same vein.

At this time, in Francesco's view, as long as the Chinese army sinks four or five warships, the Chinese army will feel distressed about the loss, so it will retreat, and then seek to resolve this issue in negotiations.

He has suffered from not understanding the great Chinese. If he understands, he will never have the idea of ​​resisting. The Chinese army should carry his pants and run away as soon as he comes.

Because for the current Dahua, either it is easy to kill the enemy, or it is to kill the enemy at a high price, and there is no possibility of compromise with the enemy.

The pride of the great Chinese does not allow the military to compromise.

Let alone compromise, the enemy would have to surrender unconditionally if he wants to surrender to the Chinese army.

Those who like to impose conditions are basically ignored by the Hua army, just like this self-confidence and domineering.

On the 20th, the expeditionary fleet entered Manila Bay after the frigate confirmed the safety of the surrounding waters.

Subsequently, three of the battleships approached the port and launched an attack with the Spanish shore defense artillery.

This is no way. If the coastal defense artillery is removed, the Marines will not be able to land rashly.

Otherwise, a few waves of shelling by the coastal defense artillery will be able to kill those landing troops.

Those coastal defense guns have a distinctive feature, and they have a large caliber.

Because it does not require maneuverability, the weight of the artillery does not matter. In order to pursue power, these shore defense guns are made larger.

Among the Spanish coastal defense guns, there are even several thousand kilograms of artillery that can fire 20 kilograms of shells.

Being hit by such a shell, even a warship with iron armor on its surface would not be able to withstand the impact.

However, the Chinese army is not afraid, their artillery is stronger than that of the Spaniards.

Hongwu, Hong Zhong, the main artillery of the Hongguang battleship, produced almost 20 catties of shells, and they were still armor-piercing shells, and their power was not the same.

As the three battleships entered the range of the Spaniard's artillery, their artillery rang first.

They relied on the height of the turret to occupy some range advantages.

In fact, there is no advantage. The Hongguang’s main gun has a much longer range than the Spanish artillery.

It's just that there are only two main artillery pieces. I count on these two artillery pieces. I don't know how long it will take to destroy the enemy's artillery positions.

Moreover, on warships, each artillery is equipped with a limited number of shells, basically around forty.

Therefore, if you want to destroy the Spaniards’ artillery positions, you need to use those secondary artillery.

The range of those secondary guns is slightly shorter, and they must be a little closer.

The Spanish artillery sounded, and soon the Chinese army's artillery sounded along with it.

boom.

An armor-piercing projectile was shot next to a cannon, and the huge explosive impact directly knocked the crew of this gun to the ground.

Some people are unlucky, and when they blow up, their heads hit the gun barrel, and they are dead.

And the few people who were shot in a single shot, even their bodies became incomplete, and none of them were complete.

Those soldiers who were not hit by a single shot or hit their heads were also buzzing in their heads, and they were a little confused for a while.

At the same time, a large number of artillery shells fell into the Spanish artillery positions and exploded, killing their artillery madly.

And their damage to the Dahua warship stunned the Francis subject.

In the first round of shelling, they had three shells that hit Dahua's battleship.

The hit rate of about 2% is not low. If Dahua is a traditional wooden ship, these three shells can almost sink a warship.

But now, because the hits were all small artillery shells, these shells hit Dahua's ship's side, only making Dahua's warship tremble.

If you look closely, you can still see that there are some dents in the places that were hit.

However, through the telescope, it is impossible to see such subtle changes.

In Francisco's view, Dahua's warship was hit by a few shells and then came out unscathed.

What a shit?

Francisco almost vomited blood, this situation made him too uncomfortable and too aggrieved.

Up to now, he can only hope that his fleet can catch the Chinese army by surprise.

Otherwise, his port will fall 100%.

In the distance, after hearing the sound of the guns, the Spanish fleet immediately set sail and headed straight for Manila Bay.
