The Manila is now in a panic.

The spherical shells fired by the 200mm shore anti-heavy artillery directly penetrated the Manila. From the port side to the starboard side, an amazing hole could be seen.

It’s a pity that this big hole is still above the waterline, and the sea water does not pour into it.

"Break me back!" Lockby immediately gave an order in panic.

The remaining 42-pound cannons on the Manila also turned their guns and aimed at the exposed gun positions.

The other thirty-one warships also began to fight back.

For a moment, the sound of cannons in the entire harbor was shocking, and thousands of iron balls shot at each other. From time to time, people were hit by cannons, and once they died, they would be filled with a large number.

"Hey, it would be great if these shells could be filled with explosives." Zhu Haitao sighed when he saw the shells hit.

In his telescope, the warships are now full of holes. Even if a 90mm shell is shot on a wooden warship with copper skin, it can make a big hole on it. However, these shells can only rely on their strong inertia to kill the enemy, at most they will drill a big hole in the enemy ship.

Many of the shells shot from warships were also hit near the turret, but the angle of the turret was designed was very tricky, and they were generally protected by steel and cement. At most, the shells were hit on them and produced cracks, and they would not cause any damage at all.

Moreover, the shore cannons are fixed on stable land, and the artillery on warships will constantly bump on the sea, so the probability of hitting is even worse than that of the shore cannon. Often, the naval cannons on the Spanish fleet are designed with dozens of shells, but none of them hit. However, the shore cannons can often hit these warships accurately after a few shots.

"Quick! Quick! Aim and shoot!" The gunners on the Manila roared wildly, but because of the bumpy waves and the smoke from the battlefield, they had no way to accurately aim at the shore cannons on land.

"Aim at the largest first-class warship!" The shore gunner on the shore also received such an order.

"Boom!" A 90mm shell accurately hit a 42-pound gun position on the Manila, completely destroying the cannon and the people around.

"Ah!" Everyone next to him was hit by the fragments, screaming endlessly.

"Major General, our flagship is almost out of reach!" a staff officer said to Rear Admiral Lockeby.

At this time, Lockeby was already panicked and said quickly: "Retreat quickly! Retreat!"

The staff quickly conveyed the order, and the sailors quickly changed the sails, but they were immediately under the focal care of the shells.

The 90mm shore cannon and 120mm shore cannon fired violently at the deck of the Manila. Dozens of shells poured down, and the sailors on the deck were immediately covered with blood and blood, with heavy casualties, and the sails on the ship were also smashed to the ground by shells.

After hearing this, Lockeby was completely desperate.

"Send him to the West!" Zhu Haitao felt a little angry at the Manila that he had lived until now, and said to the gunner beside him.

The gunners loaded another shell into the barrel and then pulled the fuse.

"boom!"

Before the shell was fired, it aimed at the waterline of the ship. As a result, it hit the target accurately and directly smashed a big hole in the keel of the ship, and the sea water poured in frantically.

"boom!"

A 120mm gun position in the distance also fired the Manila and smashed a big hole in the side of the ship.

"Major General, the ship is about to sink. Break the door and abandon the ship quickly!" The staff officer said to Lockby, who was slumped in the chair.

"Okay... OK, abandon the ship, abandon the ship quickly!" Lockby was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then fled from the place where he was sitting like crazy.

Although Lockeby wanted to escape his luxury ship, several 200mm heavy artillery and more 120mm 90mm shore cannons disbanded the large first-class warship of more than 4,000 tons.

The Manila broke into several pieces, and with the sound of crackling, it suddenly turned into piles of debris and wood chips.

"Help! Help!" Locke was bigger than his life, but he was greeted by a 90mm shell, which slapped him to death in the cold sea water.

The Manila was not the first Spanish warship to be sunk, but its sinking became a symbol.

Before it, many fourth-level warships in the fleet had been attacked by dense bomb rain. The Philip IV, who was just showing off his might in the harbor, was directly hit by six 90mm shells and four 120mm shells. The ship was shattered into more than a dozen pieces and sank into the harbor.

The numerous third-level battleships and four second-level battleships also suffered intensive shelling in the following time.

One of the second-class warships, the Cebu, was directly hit by two 200mm heavy artillery shells, and two terrifying holes were created on both sides and the front of the ship, and then they were hit by 7 120mm shells. Captain Felix was directly killed, and the deputy captain and the second mate of the first mate were also hit by the shells. Then, more 120mm and 90mm shells hit the black gunpowder next to the naval gun. The high temperature ignited the gunpowder, causing the ship to burn a raging fire.

The other three second-class warships were also under key attention in the subsequent artillery battle. Dozens of artillery shells attacked, and wood chips flew across them, and finally ended up in a sinking situation.

"Your Majesty, many of these warships have raised white flags." Li Jifa said to Zhu Haitao.

Looking at the once arrogant Spanish fleet, now being beaten so hard that they could only raise the white flag to express surrender, Zhu Haitao's lips curled up.

"Ignore them and destroy them all!" Zhu Haitao said viciously. It was impossible for Zhu Haitao to leave their lives to deal with these fierce colonists.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a few explosions, the last few Spanish fleet warships were sent to the bottom of the sea by shells.

The battle was very fierce, and the artillery battle lasted throughout the day. By the day of the next day, the sea was still bleeding and drifting, all covered with wreckage of warships and the corpses of Spanish red-haired ghosts.

A few who came to the shore were also caught by the troops guarding there and shot on the spot and threw them back into the sea. This land is a paradise for Chinese people, and it is impossible for them to wait for the shore.
