Chapter 2503: You have to be qualified if you want to be surrendered

The officers and soldiers of the South China Fleet who were fighting hard burst into cheers, and reinforcements came. It seems that Marshal Dai brought the elite troops to kill!

Why is Mr. David here? Shouldn't he **** him to Xiping?

Later, the ministers Yu Chenglong and Chen Tingjing who saw the battle report recalled that they had heard Mr. David playing to the emperor: "The ministers only felt frightened, and only felt that something bad happened!"

Who is Yan Changwu? As soon as he heard him say this, he understood: "Are you worried that Cabot V will lose the battle?"

He groaned: "In theory, the five Cabot generals are all veterans of naval warfare, and there are many warships. It is not easy for others to take advantage of them!"

Mr. David simply said: "There are unexpected events in the sky!"

This remark is extremely incisive. Looking back at the report of the battle between Yu Chenglong and Chen Tingjing, the main reason for Cabot's defeat was exactly this, and they couldn't help but admire the five-body cast!

The two ministers were civil officials in Daming and had no military contact. Now that they have seen the battle history of top military commanders up close, they know that the ancient famous generals can "know the victory and defeat by hearing the wind, and determine the military situation by sniffing the soil." If it is true, the reputation is well-deserved. In such a general is our people!

The emperor said: "Since you think so, then you go!"

Mr. David abandoned the seat of his first-class battleship and took the second-class fast battleship "Shandong" as the flagship. He led a total of fifty second- and third-class battleships. He took Yan Zhang as his lieutenant and headed west at high speed, just in time. Go to war!

Arriving early is not as good as it is coincidental. At that time, the sea was full of smoke, and the Nanhua cruise ship was ordered to clear the field. Compared with Baipi, Yan Changwu was willing to spend money on the cruise ship (actually because he had more money. ), the South China cruise ships are in a system, with many ships, large and new ships. In contrast, in terms of cruise ships, except for the British appearance, the rest of the white cruisers are mostly indiscriminate.

The cruise ships on both sides were chasing, and the white-skinned cruisers did not issue an alarm until reinforcements from the South China Fleet arrived, causing a passive situation.

Adjutant Jay Kodak hurriedly counted the points, and then went down to the open deck to report: "To the east, heretics have four second-tier battleships and at least forty third-tier battleships approaching us!"

After he finished speaking, there was silence on the deck!

After only thinking for a moment, George Munch categorically ordered: "Retreat!"

He couldn't help but retreat. Until now, his soldiers are exhausted, his ammunition is lacking, his ship is broken, his morale is low, and all the favorable factors are gone. How can he fight!

George Munch’s decision was accurate, but the consequences were disastrous!

In the later memoirs, George Munch replied with regret: "I should gather the fleet together and retreat, rather than disperse and flee."

Whiteskins fled in all directions, giving the remnants of Cabot who were fighting with them great courage. In order to redeem their merits and wash away the shame of defeat, they desperately pursued the Whiteskins battleship and entangled with them. At this time Bai Pi is no longer in love...

The advantages and disadvantages are interchanged, and some white-skinned battleships can't run even if they want to run!

The Portuguese first-tier battleship "Santa Teresa" was targeted, a South China second-tier battleship "Sumatra Island" locked it, and entangled with another third-tier battleship, so that it could not escape. At this time, Mr. David’s flagship "Shandong" was chased!

Mr. David ordered to fight separately, from two to three battleships to fight an enemy ship. If the result is not obtained, the captain shall not be promoted for three years!

When this order was issued, the soldiers enthusiastically moved forward, while Mr. David stared at the enemy ship. He personally took the helm, and the morale of his subordinates was greatly boosted!

The "Shandong" and the "St. Teresa" confronted head-on. Relying on the favorable wind direction and artillery skills, they broke the "St. Teresa" mast and caused the 112-gun giant ship to be in disarray. According to the memories of the Marines of the South China Army who later boarded the ship, the stumps and broken arms of the sailors on the "San Teresa" can be seen everywhere, and there are even brains splashing on the walls of the ship and on artillery shells that cannot be used in the future..."

The South China ship chased and killed the white ships and drove them happily. The Dutch battleship escaped the fastest, and it was indeed a free Netherlands!

British battleships did not escape too slowly. The slowest ones were Spanish and Portuguese battleships. Regardless of their sailing skills, their ships were destroyed and their crews missing, which affected their escape speed. Therefore, in order to escape faster, The Spanish second-class battleship "San Fernando" lost everything that could be lost on the ship, including artillery and ammunition!

The artillery crafted by those skilled craftsmen were pushed into the sea. In order to escape their lives, some people criticized them: "If his wife is also on the warship, they will lose them all!"

Relying on weight loss, the "San Fernando" was beaten and did not fight back, allowing it to escape.

Another second-class battleship "San Jeronimo" was overtaken by the South China ship. As soon as the three battleships closed, the "San Jeronimo" immediately surrendered its flag.

Except for it, the white-skinned battleships that were overtaken basically surrendered as long as they couldn't escape.

However, there are also people who don’t know each other. The Spanish battleship "Triumphal" was under siege, and a large explosion occurred in the gunpowder depot on the ship. This not only caused the deaths of more than 400 crew members on board, but also killed 50 people who boarded the ship and tried to destroy it. Captured South China Marine Corps soldiers.

The melee continued until dusk, and the white skins were crushed. There was no suspense about the ending of this big battle. The next thing was that the Chinese were cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner. At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Portuguese flagship "Santa Teresa" "They have basically lost their combat effectiveness and are dying.

The “Shandong” signaled the surrender of the Portuguese Admiral Ermenga de Aspa on the “Santa Teresa”. His answer was ridiculous. He said he could surrender, but he wanted to surrender to the South China Fleet. The coach surrenders, otherwise he will resist to the end.

The Portuguese admiral believes that the 98-gun second-tier battleship "Shandong" is not eligible to be surrendered, and only the first-tier battleship wants to be surrendered!

Even if it is surrender, it is related to the honor of the general, and there must be a sufficiently qualified officer to be able to let him hand over the saber.

The officers and soldiers on the "Shandong" can't laugh or cry~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When are they still so careless!

Mr. David was very patient. He sent a loud-speaking translator to the "St. Teresa" in a loud voice (at this time the two ships were in a truce) and declared: "Marshal Dai is on this ship. It is our imperial navy that you surrendered to him, it is a great honor!"

"Why should we believe you?" someone on the "St. Teresa" asked.

"Swear by the honor of our marshal, you can rest assured to surrender!" said the translator.

So the "St. Teresa" dropped its flag and surrendered. When Mr. David passed on the open deck of the ship, Admiral Ermengard Asper gave him his saber and became a captive of the South China Empire. The first European admiral!

The death toll on the "St. Teresa" actually exceeded 500 people, and the blood on the deck of this scarred huge ship even seeped into the boots of the South China soldiers.

At night, the battleships of South China escorted the enemy ships back to the team and achieved unprecedented fruitful results!
