When Diago heard this, he was stunned: Didn’t it mean that Anthony, the Governor of Batavia, arrived earlier than the Ming army? Why did the Ming army fight and he has not seen him yet? Could it be that he wanted to fight with the Ming army and get a bargain before he could get a bargain?

When he came to his senses, he didn't care. He immediately ran out, jumped onto the horse, galloped wildly, and rushed to the city wall in the direction of the port to see the situation.

There were panic crowds everywhere in Manila. There were Spanish people and natives. Many people ran around like headless flies, and even blocked Diago's way.

After a long period of turmoil, Diago finally arrived at the top of the city and immediately looked closely. He saw a huge fleet on the sea surface of Manila Bay, heading towards the port of Manila City.

On the port side, the Spanish fleet had already launched a defensive formation. However, he had high hopes for the Dutch fleet, which was previously very arrogant, was still in a hurry. Many crew members were not even dressed in a straight dress and were rushing on the deck.

Obviously, this is because their leader, the awkward West, was gone. He took away about 300 people, which is also one of the reasons.

Thinking of this, Diago couldn't help but curse in his heart. These Dutch people are so unreliable that they lost their links at critical moments! The Ming army has fought, and the governor has not arrived, and even West doesn't know where he died?

He naturally didn't know where West was indeed dead and could not come back!

At this time, Diago did not have the intention to complain too much about the Dutch. He immediately picked up the telescope and began to carefully observe the Ming army fleet.

When he looked through the telescope, he could see more clearly. But it was precisely because of this that surprised him.

Diago saw that among the huge Ming army warships, there were fifteen sail warships with Portuguese flags. A total of about 300 large and small warships lined up on the sea, and the scene was very huge.

In the naval battle in Europe, the scale of one side dispatched more than a hundred warships was already a big battle. Unexpectedly, the Ming army attacked Manila, and there were about three hundred ships, including many large lucky ships. The gap in national strength is really not comparable to that of ordinary European countries.

But thinking about it, many European countries are actually just as big as a province in the Far East Empire. It is obvious that the gap in national strength is here! At this time, Diago felt like an adult came to bully the children.

However, he didn't know that in the original history, no matter how big the Eastern Empire was, it wasn't that the small countries like Europe that were riding on their necks to scatter and urinate. From this we can see that the most important thing is that the country must be strong!

At this time, facing the huge fleet of Ming Dynasty, Diago felt under great pressure.

Before, he believed West's words and thought that the Ming army was not coming so quickly. He divided the warships to Philot and asked him to find the place where the Ming army's food and supplies were stored. There are only fifteen Spanish warships left in the Port of Manila, three of which were transport ships, and they were temporarily armed with several cannons.

Even if there are ten Dutch warships, there are only twenty-five warships. At least in terms of the number of warships, they cannot fight the Ming army at all.

However, if it were the past, Diago would not be afraid of the number of Far East warships. As long as he fought on the wide sea, the Western sailing warships were fast and had good guns, they could completely defeat the Ming fleet through the situation of mobile warfare.

However, in the Ming fleet, there are still European Erwuzi. If the Portuguese restraint, it is not necessarily possible to fight a mobile war.

However, even so, Diago had no choice but to order the fleet to attack immediately, and he could not be blocked in the port by the Ming army.

On the top of the city, he also began to shout, asking his subordinates, the natives, and some Japanese to defend themselves quickly.

Since the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan began to close its territory, a large number of Japanese people have wandered to the South China Sea and were hired by these Western barbarians, including Spain and the Dutch, and became their thugs. On Luzon, the executioners who massacred the Ming people were also indispensable.

At this time, in Manila City, the Spaniards were limited by the number of people, and they were all arranged to control muskets and artillery, while the Japanese were archers and melee main forces. As for the natives, most of them were used to make up for the shortcomings. No matter what, they were armed with the city defense of Manila.

The most important thing to defend Manila is whether the naval battle can be won.

Therefore, watching the fleet go out to fight, Diago shouted loudly on the top of the city and cheered them up: "Governor Batavia will arrive soon. You must deal with the Ming fleet and persevere. Victory will definitely belong to us!"

After a while of panic, the Dutch warships that had completed their combat preparations and were preparing to follow the Spanish warships to fight, the Dutch people screamed "screaming" when they heard this. Obviously, while cheering themselves up, they seemed to be responding to Diago: That's right, our Governor will arrive soon. Deciding the winner or the defeat depends on us Dutch people!

After such an episode, facing enemies with absolute numbers, even if there were Portuguese warships to help the enemy, the Dutch were not afraid. After leaving the port, they soon surpassed the Spanish warships.

When passing by, the Dutch whistled at the Spaniards, and their arrogance was beyond words. Just from the momentum, they immediately compared the Spaniards, who are worthy of being the sea outlaws known as the coachman on the sea.

But at this time, they were fighting side by side. The arrogance of the Dutch also invisibly promoted the morale of the old maritime power. The Spaniards also shouted one by one, chasing the Dutch warships and facing the huge enemy fleet.

The fleets on both sides are getting closer and closer, so close that they can clearly see the people on the other side with a telescope.

At this moment, a Western sailing warship in the Ming fleet accelerated its speed, surpassing the other warships in a hull, making the warship particularly eye-catching, which made the Netherlands and the Spaniards even focus their attention on this ship.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. As soon as you look at it, all the Dutch people's faces suddenly turned pale.

I saw that the Ming army warship was tied along the edge of the ship, and there was no need to look closely. Just from the appearance, you could tell that those were all Europeans.

The most important thing is that in the most conspicuous position on the bow of the ship, the tied person was known to all the Dutch people, and it was Anthony, the governor of Batavia whom they had long been looking forward to.

They may have thought of many possibilities, imagining when the Governor General came to reinforce Manila and fight the Ming army with them. But they never expected that their Governor General was tied to the bow of the Ming army and came to Manila.

After recognizing the Governor, it was natural that everyone else recognized him, all of them were Dutch.

Suddenly, all the Dutch people on the ten Dutch fleets were shocked and stopped their work, just staring blankly at the Ming army warships.

The Spanish didn't know at first, but the morale that was motivated made them quickly catch up with the Dutch. Then, based on the former glory of the empire, they were unwilling to lose face in front of these Spanish traitors, and they all whistled and returned it to the Dutch.

However, they soon discovered that something was wrong with the Dutch! No matter how you look at it, it seems like you have lost your soul.

At the same time, they also found that among the most prominent warships on the Ming army, the Europeans were tied to each other. They were suddenly confused. What's going on? Who are those?

With this idea, some people speculated that the changes in the Dutch might have something to do with those Europeans who were tied up. Some of them were impatient and asked the Dutch loudly.

"What?" The Spaniards were soon shocked, "Those are you Dutch, and even you Governor Batavia were tied to the bow of the ship by the Ming army?"

Amid the noise of the Spanish, the Dutch came to their senses and suddenly, they were all in vain.

If the Governor is on the opposite ship, it means that the Governor is defeated and reinforcements are impossible. What should we do next?

Before, they fought based on the fearlessness of the "sea coachman", but at this time, they found that the Governor was defeated and captured. The most important thing is that their leader West was not there. Faced with this situation, the current situation of the leaderless dragons no longer had the courage he had before.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Ming army warships and Portuguese warships began to bombard.

Subway bombs shot up and landed on the sea near Dutch and Spanish warships, stirring up splashes of water.

Although the first round of artillery did not hit the Dutch warships, they also brought them back to their senses. Some of these Dutch warships quickly retreated to Anila Port, while others pulled sails and turned around and tried to bypass the Ming fleet and fled to the outer sea.

Their reaction made the Spaniards feel that they could not stand alone. More importantly, the important news that the Dutch Batavia Governor was captured by the Ming army also severely damaged their morale. At this time, they did not dare to confront the huge Ming fleet and retreated to the port of Manila.

When they retreated, the Ming army naturally attacked more smoothly. They bit the tails of the retreating Dutch and Spanish fleets and killed them.

"Boom boom boom..."

The bombardment of artillery was like driving a flock of sheep.

Diago on the top of Manila City was stunned. How could he go to fight well? There was no war yet. It was just the first round of artillery attacks of the Ming army. First, the Dutch fleet collapsed and fled, and then his own fleet also ran. What was going on?
