The cannons of the Spanish were sharp and their warships were sturdy. However, the cannons and warships of the Ming Army were not inferior to the Spanish fleet at all. In some areas, they even surpassed them.
Many of the sailors on the Spanish warships discovered that the range of the Ming Army's cannons was longer than theirs. Furthermore, the explosive power of the bombs was great and affected a wide area, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
The Spanish fleet began to show signs of defeat.
The large warships that were attracted by the gunships only cared about attacking the Ming Army's gunships. The remaining warships were caught by the main force of the Ming Army. Both sides fired at each other, causing the sky to darken. The battlefield was clearly divided into two parts. One part was the large warships fighting fiercely, and the other part was a pursuit battle.
There were many Spanish warships. The main force of the Ming Army could not finish the battle in a short time. The pressure on the gunships of the Ming Army was great. Many gunships were shot, and the situation was not good.
Jiang Dahai still had two large warships that had not attacked. One was the flagship of the Southern Town Warship, and the other was the escort ship of the Southern Town Warship. They were also 700-ton warships.
"Da Hai, don't worry about me. If you want to go to battle, then go! The reputation of the Southern Town Warship is not earned by hiding behind it! "
Xiao Ruxun suddenly stood up and walked to the side of Jiang Dahai, who was watching the battle from afar. He patted Jiang Dahai's shoulder.
Before Jiang Dahai could speak, Chen Longzheng said in shock, "Marquis, you can't do this. You are the ruler of Myanmar. You are concerned about the safety of millions of people in Myanmar. Personally going to battle is already out of line. How can you personally come to the battlefield?"
Jiang Dahai opened his mouth. This was probably what he wanted to say, but he did not speak.
"Tilong, have you forgotten who I am? I am the number one general in history. I relied on my military exploits to get to where I am today. If I did not fight in Ningxia, Korea, or Myanmar, would I be where I am today? I, Xiao Ruxun, am a general after all. Why can't I take the lead? "
Chen Longzheng did not know what to say for a moment.
Xiao Ruxun said, "Da Hai, hang up the commander's flag. Let's go! The Southern Town Warship is our biggest warship. How can we not fight? "
Jiang Dahai's face was filled with excitement. He excitedly gave a military salute to Xiao Ruxun, "The Marquis is mighty! I will fight now! "
After that, Jiang Dahai yelled, "Everyone! Prepare for battle!! "
Burma Town's strongest warship, the South Town Battleship, was ready for battle!
Xiao Ruxun smiled and sat back in his chair with a relaxed look. Chen Longzheng couldn't stand it anymore. His expression was very strange.
"My great Marquis, can you also pay a little attention to yourself? In the past, you were a general, and it was your duty to charge and break through enemy lines. But now, you are the ruler of Myanmar, and the safety of millions of people in Myanmar is tied to you. Your safety is no longer something you can decide by yourself! Myanmar can live without me, Chen Longzheng, but it cannot live without Xiao Ruxun! "
When these words came out, many soldiers and officers looked at Chen Longzheng and Xiao Ruxun with hesitation.
Jiang Dahai also looked hesitantly at Xiao Ruxun.
They all knew that Xiao Ruxun's safety was more important than all of them combined. Xiao Ruxun was tied to the happiness of millions of families. Their battle was for Xiao Ruxun.
Xiao Ruxun looked around at the soldiers on the Southern Town Warship and revealed a proud smile. He stood up and said loudly, "I have the most loyal and brave soldiers by my side. They will protect me and are willing to die for me. They have such courage. Tilong, if I don't have the courage to die, what right do I have to be the ruler of Myanmar?"
Then, Xiao Ruxun walked to the front of the deck. Facing a large number of soldiers, he pulled out his sword from his waist and raised it to the sky.
"If I, Xiao Ruxun, am afraid of death, I would not be standing here today! Since I am standing here, I will not be afraid of death and hesitate to move forward! This warship is the strongest warship! The soldiers on this warship are the strongest soldiers! The general is the strongest general! I am also the strongest me! There is no reason to shrink back! Gentlemen! I will live and die with you! "
"Live and die with you!"
Jiang Dahai seemed to be infected. His face turned red as he raised his hand and shouted. The soldiers were also infected by this emotion. They raised their weapons and shouted, "Live and die with you!"
"The general has the heart to die, the soldiers have no desire to live! Our navy is the strongest! The Xiyi Navy was nothing but a bunch of clowns! Jiang Dahai! Today, there is only General Xiao Ruxun! There is no Marquis Zhennan, Xiao Ruxun! You let go of your hand and command! I am also a general under your command, I will listen to your orders! "
Xiao Ruxun glared at Jiang Dahai.
Jiang Dahai was very excited. He looked at Xiao Ruxun as if he was looking at a God and shouted, "Yes! Beat the drum! Blow the horn! Raise the flag! Flagship, attack! "
The drums rumbled, and a deep and majestic horn sounded. The Southern Garrison Warship hung up its battle flag and began to move towards the battlefield. When the Sea Guard Warship heard the drums and horn and saw the flagship raise its battle flag, they knew that the flagship was about to attack. They hurriedly raised their battle flags and followed the Southern Garrison Warship.
Chen Longzheng stood in front of the empty seat and looked at the man standing on the deck with his head held high. He suddenly had an urge to stand together with him, to win or lose, to live or die together with him.
In the past, he was not very clear what kind of charm this man had that could drive so many soldiers to fight to the death. He had never been on the battlefield with this man. But now, he finally understood why the Ming Dynasty Army in Myanmar was always successful and invincible.
It was not because of superior firearms, not because of meticulous training and excellent food, but because of this man. As long as they followed this man, his troops would never fail.
As long as he could still stand in front of the army with his sword, no matter how old or weak he was, his army was unparalleled. No one could defeat him, not the Mongolians, not the Japanese, not the Burmese, not the Spanish.
There was no suspense in this battle, the Daming would win.
That being the case, do I still have a reason to hide in the back and cower?
Chen Longzheng laughed at himself.
What bullsh * t Literati Star? What bullsh * t scholars? Standing here, there were only soldiers, only warriors.
He reached out and took a gun from the hand of a soldier beside him. He walked to the side of Xiao Ruxun, held the gun, and looked forward.
"What? You're not going to stop me?"
Xiao Ruxun's voice sounded.
"You are the ruler of Myanmar. What can I do even if I stop you? Will you listen to me? "
Chen Longzheng's voice sounded a little helpless.
"Hahaha, I'm right. Of course, I won't listen to you!"
"That's it. I know you're right, so I'm here. I was wrong."
Xiao Ruxun turned her head to look at Chen Longzheng. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she turned her head back, looking straight ahead.
