Chapter 570 Let's Surrender

At this time, there were many warships docked in the port of Veracruz, more than 100 large and small.

Since the intention of the First Fleet stationed outside is unclear, a large number of warships and soldiers gathered in the port.

But most people didn't expect that the fierce and unusual fleet in the legend was even more fierce than the legend.

They sadly discovered that even though the number of warships was more than ten times that of the opponent, they could not defeat them.

In summary, there are two reasons:

One, the artillery range is not as far as the opponent.

Second, the shells are not as powerful as the opponent.

As for the opponent's defense, not to mention whether they can hit them, and they can't even hit them if they get close?
Edgardo, the person in charge who had been staying at the port, couldn't sit still. Standing on the city wall, he scratched his head anxiously, and murmured to himself:

"What to do, what to do!? Why is Daming's fleet so strong!?"

No one answered his question, because everyone had the same doubts.

The sound of the explosion was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart one after another. Every time one of his warships was shot, his heart trembled!
"My lord, my lord! Earl Armando is back!" Just as he was thinking about what to do, a soldier quickly ran over to report to him.

"What! Armando? Where is it?"

"Just landed!"

"Okay! What a bitch. I'm going to see him!"

After all, he trotted to follow the soldiers leading the way.

After a while, I saw Armando with blood on his face.

"Edgardo! It was you who ordered me not to go to shore!?"

As soon as they met, Armando asked angrily.

"Armando, you brought the Ming army here?" Edgardo ignored his question and asked angrily.

"How do you talk? I escaped from the Ming army by a narrow escape! I can decide whether they chase me or not?"

"Then why don't they follow others?"

"I'm a fool, Edgardo, are you out of your mind!? How can you ask such a question? You don't have time to talk nonsense with me, so you might as well think about what these warships on the sea should do What should we do! I’m leaving! Goodbye!”

With that said, he turned his head and was about to leave!

"You can't go! It's not you who brought the Ming army here, and it will become what it is now? What did you do to the Ming army?"

"What the hell can I do!? Just what can the few broken pirate ships I brought out be used for?! His Majesty asked me to test the strength of the Ming army, but I was beaten to a pulp after just two shots. None of them are left, only one of my warships has escaped! I fled all the way, and they chased me all the way! How many times the shells passed by, is it easy for me?"

"You fired at them?"

"That's right! Don't you want to test the power of their warships? How can you test without firing?"

"Fuck your grandma!" Edgardo couldn't bear it any longer, and punched Armando's blood-stained face.

Armando was injured and fell to the ground with a groan.

His subordinates were not happy, and they stepped forward to avenge him, but Edgardo's subordinates also rushed forward, and the two sides scuffled together.

Looking at the absurd and funny scene in front of him, Edgardo roared angrily when he heard the endless explosions in his ears:

"Stop it all!"

Hearing his roar, the two sides slowly stopped.

"Armando, even if I let you go, where are you going?"

"You take care of me, take care of your port!"

Armando didn't want to say a word of nonsense, turned around and left.

He just wanted to leave this terrible place, away from the terrible shells of the Ming army.

Edgardo stared at Armando's back in a daze, feeling at a loss in his heart.

Armando can go, but as the person in charge of the port, where can he go?

He looked at the messy sea again, suspecting that he was simply dreaming.

"My lord, let's surrender!" A soldier said cautiously.

The response was a reprimand from Edgardo!

"Shut up! The posture of the Ming army is determined to fight us forever! What's the use of surrendering? Send the order and destroy the opponent's warships at all costs! Don't they only have nine warships? Knock them down!"

"Yes"

Edgardo didn't want to surrender, not because he had a lot of arrogance in his heart, but because he felt that he had reached this point and there was no room for maneuver.

Under Edgardo's order, a dozen of the fastest warships launched a suicide attack on Ming's fleet.

Facts have proved that in the face of absolute strength, even desperately is useless.

The charge of more than a dozen ships was only bombed and sunk a little closer to the First Fleet, and did not cause any damage to the First Fleet.

The fighting continued, and a scene that made the Spaniards inside and outside the port even more desperate appeared.

On the sea level in the distance, another fleet appeared. Looking at the hideous shape of the warship, it was the Ming army again.

The soldiers standing on the city wall on the bank were the first to discover. They exclaimed and then reported the news to Edgardo.

Ah ah ah~
Edgardo took a look through the binoculars and let out a painful wail.

The nine ships had already beaten them to death, but a large group came unexpectedly.

Does this keep people alive?

The answer appeared to be no, and the Second Fleet joined the fray as soon as it arrived.

Compared with the First Fleet that has fought many battles, they are more eager to have a hearty battle!

With the addition of the Second Fleet, the artillery fire became more intensive, and the Spanish's battle losses increased sharply.Edgardo really wanted to surrender at this point.Because half of their more than 100 warships have sunk, and if this continues, within an hour, there will be no more intact warships in the port!

But just now he reprimanded his subordinates, and now he offered to surrender, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

"My lord, surrender! If this continues, all the brothers will die!" An officer persuaded with tears.

"it is good!"

Ok?
The officer's tears stopped immediately.

Didn't you just bite and knock to the end with others?
How did it become so fast?
No matter, give the order to go.

"Stop fighting! Surrender! Raise the white flag! People on the shore, wave the white flag!"

The officer shouted as he ran, and the crowd became agitated again.

Compared to going to die with no advantage at all, surrendering seems more reassuring!
As a result, everyone left their posts and went to find the white flag.If you can’t find a white flag, use white sheets or cotton instead.

In a word, dancing can make people see the sincerity of their surrender.

For a time, white flags were raised on every warship on the shore.

Lu Shiyan, who has been paying attention to the battle situation, hurriedly reported to Xuelong.

"Supervisor, Supervisor, they surrendered!"

"Well, I see. Tell the people below to cease fire!"

After the opponent hoisted the white flag, the two fleets of the Ming army immediately stopped firing.

Edgardo felt a pain in his ass.

If I knew you wanted us to surrender, we would have surrendered long ago!
