Lin Manjue was facing a 30-meter-long three-massed large sailboat with a load of 300 tons and a double-massed armed merchant ship. The Spanish ship was always huge like a sea castle. Even if the large ship matched the tonnage of the five-hundred-weight shark ship, it looked huge.

But he was not afraid. This was not only because Lin Manjue led a fleet of five 200-foot shark ships equipped with eleven artillery guns, but also because after approaching, he found that the enemy ship's gun positions were not full, and even if it was full of artillery guns, it was much less than him.

In fact, he misread it. The three-masted sailboat's cannons are not fewer than him, and the largest caliber cannon is even larger than his, but the numerous smallest caliber cannons are much smaller than him.

Lin Manjue was the first to discover the enemy ship, and was stuck in the direction it must pass by intercepting. When it approached within twenty miles, the Western Yi warships had not yet discovered them. However, when both sides entered ten miles, the 500-foot shark ship was wide open, and the giant figure such as the 500-foot shark ship could not escape the patrol of the naked eye.

These two ships were offshore patrols after the New Spanish army landed on Guam. There were only six such fleets, and seven a few months ago. However, under the command of the commander, a fleet was exploring the situation in the Philippine Islands westward without returning, and only six were left.

No brave Spanish commander would assign too many fleets off the coast of Guam, and no one would worry about the enemy that is thousands of miles away. The greatest significance of the cruise team is to help the leader when the troop transport ship is in trouble, and the big ship helps the small ship to inform the news.

Rigg is an ancient unit of sea and land measurement used in Spain, Portugal and other places. One rig is usually four Romans. It is measured at sea for three nautical miles, which is 5,500 meters, and on land it is 4,800 meters.

There are many large ships in Guam, but these ships are now used to transport soldiers between the original Polynians, namely the Hawaiian Islands. They have too many new recruits in New Spain who can't drive and get dizzy when they get on board.

The Servant Army is what Chen Mu called them, but the Spanish did not think so. Even in colonies, even if people were divided into different levels based on their skin color, race, and origin, without exception, whether Spain or New Spain, no matter which ethnic group or country they belonged to in the past, they are now Spanish, and the troops they recruited are naturally Spanish soldiers.

The Governor of New Spain actually did not receive a letter of claim from Chen Mu to King Philip II, and Philip's letter was not sent to New Spain. When he sent people to Japan and the Philippines to investigate, the army had not been dispatched. Almost at the same time Chen Bazhi went to Hirado Island, the Spanish began to transport troops from New Spain to Guam.

The Ming Dynasty has always been in the eyes of the Governor of New Spain. However, as the largest source of raw materials and source of handicrafts for purchase, the Americas has not been completely pacified, so the war has not started.

Interestingly, the Ming Dynasty was like a cave with a stone gate closed. When the Spaniards walked to the door, they felt that there must be a lot of treasures hidden inside. Only sixty soldiers could conquer the Ming Dynasty and have everything.

Later, some people thought that the stone gate was too heavy and it took at least 6,000 soldiers to open it.

Later, Chen Mu destroyed everything the Philippine Governor on the island, which made the New Spain Governor discover that there was an evil dragon in the cave, and he rushed out!

Now he doesn't want to send many soldiers to conquer the Ming Dynasty, he just wants to put Chen Mu back to the cave.

But unexpectedly, the evil dragon's minions had reached his left and right.

In the waters near Guam, Lin Manjue fought fiercely and exhausted in the battle, but it was also very easy to win.

The Spanish three-masted sailboat and armed merchant ship fired at his fleet with huge bow-firing stone cannons three miles away. This bronze cannon is powerful, but it is limited to the irregular polishing of stone bombs and the poor shooting degree from a long distance, so it cannot even hit the root hair.

The shark boat sailed in a line formation. When the distance between the two sides approached two miles, the soldiers who drank too much sugarcane rum on the sailboat were eager to drive in at full speed. The shark boat suddenly turned its rudder and headed to the right, and dangerously blasted out all the twelve side cannons at a distance of three hundred steps.

The line formation Xiaosha fleet, which followed closely behind, also threw dense shells at nearly the same course.

The distance was close enough to make the line array volley shot nearly half of the accuracy, and more than ten five-kilogram shells bombarded the bow and right deck of the enemy ship, smashing the bow elephant to pieces. In particular, the 10-kilogram heavy artillery equipped by the shark ship rolled on the deck after breaking through two walls, and the terrible power of continuing to kill the enemy made the morale of the Spanish soldiers suddenly drop.

What is really hopeless is that the artillery is difficult to hit the right speed and cannot catch up with the sails that put down the large oars and use the shark boat. When the online array bit the sailing boat for the third time, Lin Manjue, who was eager to win, paralleled the shark boat with the enemy ship within fifty steps, almost hitting the shark boat with a head-on attack.

All three ten-pound cannons on the waterline hit the opponent's ship board and two terrible holes were opened. The five-pound cannons on the upper deck also bombed the sails with shotguns, and then led the team to chase the armed merchant ship that had already fled without looking back.

When five small shark boats fired fire from the enemy side and sailed far away, many battalions on the ship looked back at the sank of the three-masted sailboat slowly sinking.

Lin Manjue, who was chasing at the bow of the ship as a victor, was not very handsome. His main mast was built into the mast by a shell. He didn't notice it during the battle. When he chased the mast at full speed, he broke and smashed heavily on the board. He could not walk fast by relying on the secondary mast alone, and could only watch the armed merchant ship go further and further.

So he was very tired from fighting because, until the Hangxin arrived in Guam, his flagship was driven by large oars and dragging them with cables from two large grain ships.

Although I won this battle, the shark ship was seriously damaged and more than a dozen sailors died on the ship, which made Lin Manjue feel bitter.

As for him, the sailing ships that were enemies of them only ranged from eighty to ninety people. In the Western seafarers seized by Chen Mu, it was said that 5.5 tons were assigned to one sailor, and soldiers were added during the war. The ship would not exceed ninety people.

The situation left for him was very embarrassing. He had soldiers, guns, cannons, baggage, and water and food, but the big ship could not bear to fight again. Now that he had not achieved his mission, he was likely to be caught up by the enemy's fleet after receiving the news. With his combat power alone, if the enemy sent three large sailboats of that kind, he would not only defeat him, but also capture him.

But if you don’t go back, do you still have to continue to land on the island?

Lin Manjue became interested and sent two small shark boats to chase the armed merchant ships to the near port. Then he sailed north, and then went west and circled southwards after he could not see the enemy. He led the fleet to wait in the waters south of the port for a whole night. The next day, he met with his subordinates and continued sailing to the south of Guam. The half-circumference of the island was stranded on the wild beach where there was no port on the east side of the port.
