Chapter 134: Horrible
After the fierce battle, the next step to eliminate the remaining enemies was obviously extremely relaxed.
It can be said that pursuit is actually a physical competition, and this is exactly the strength of the new army students in Zhenguo.
There is a long distance from Tanggu to Tianjin. The Franji people are in a panic. Most of them are either killed or captured.
At this time, Alfonso only knew how to escape desperately. He didn't even know how many people in their army were alive. He was confused along the way, afraid of the pursuers behind him, and was also very upset about this crushing defeat.
The failure of war is actually common for Alfonso, who has experienced many battles. Wars in Europe are often wins, defeats, and it is difficult to achieve ever-invincible victory than climbing to heaven. Even in the wars in Europe, there are countless examples of defeat in Portugal, but... this time it is completely different.
He lost too badly. This was simply an asymmetric war, a completely one-sided killing. He was an experienced commander, so he knew that the real ability of this group of Han army was not just the advantage of weapons. Any weapon was essentially a person. The opponent's three-stage attack tactic was also popular in Europe, but the three columns were constantly rotated and each performed their own duties. From beginning to end, they kept the queue neat, which was completely a model for professional soldiers.
Otherwise, if the Han army attacked in Quanzhou were allowed to hold such weapons, Alfonso still thought he was sure to win.
If he really wanted to be serious, he would not be unfair to lose at all. When he thought of his defeat and his entire Portuguese army, he felt extremely regretful. Fortunately, he and a few Portuguese guards finally left the battlefield and rushed to Tanggu.
As long as you get on the boat, it will be great. The future will be long, and as long as you save your life, it will be possible in the future.
As long as you get on the boat, you can raise your sails and ride the wind and waves. Then, you have to quickly repair them. Let’s talk about other things later. You can blame this devastating defeat on the cunning of the Ming Empire. In short, just be alive.
But when he arrived in Tanggu, Alfonso was shocked.
At the bay, a ship ignited a raging fire, and the flames soared into the sky. The mast fell into the sea like cut down trees. The entire hull had already slanted into the sea, leaving only one and a half of the bows raised and exposed to the sea.
Countless sailors wailed in the fire, and some people fell down the water and kept struggling in the water. This... was another terrible scene.
The other ships actually put down the boat obediently, and then the sailors did not dare to carry weapons and landed on the shore and surrendered. They were like obedient kittens, but they did not dare to resist at all.
As early as half an hour ago, Wang Shouren had brought people here, and at this moment, the bad news of the Portuguese legion's miserable defeat had also been heard. The first reaction of more than 30 large ships was to escape immediately. However, the ship was not easy to leave. First, they had to pull up the anchor and raise the sails. This work, even at the fastest, would take half an hour.
Seeing these big ships running, Wang Shouren made a quick decision and immediately sent someone to rush into the sea on the landing craft left on the shore. One of the ships had obviously raised sails, so several grenades were thrown out directly.
This kind of intense explosive obviously has a great advantage in dealing with this wooden ship. With the waves of several feet high by grenades, the entire ship was almost overturned by a huge impact force. What's even more terrifying is that the huge hole at the bottom of the ship immediately poured into the sea water, and the ship began to overturn. At the same time, the fire began to spread. A ship was reimbursed so easily and the dozens of sailors on the ship were killed quickly.
Such a scene gives people a sense of shock, because even if they encounter naval battles, both sides fire their own artillery, and even if they are bombarded by countless solid shells, there is not enough time for a boat to feed the fish. However, no one knows what method the other party has used. In just a moment, the explosives stir up huge waves, causing huge damage to the entire hull. Grenades may not be able to deal with the iron armored ship, but it is too easy to face such wooden sail warships.
With this deterrence, the Portuguese sailors did not dare to raise the sails easily. They quickly chose a reasonable move and surrendered.
It is really unreasonable not to surrender. In the face of fear, resisting is obviously seeking death. As for surrender, it is obviously the only way for them.
So, some people obediently got off the landing craft and went ashore. These people did not suffer any attacks, which gave enough confidence to other ships. So many people followed suit. The anchor he had just pulled up again and put down the sailors who were about to raise sails stopped their work. Hundreds of sailors obediently boarded the beach, and they were familiar with surrender.
But at this moment, Alfonso finally became desperate.
He stood there and looked at everything unexpected in front of him, stiffened for a while, and then sat down on the ground. The entire Far East fleet seemed to have completely defeated in his hands in just one day. This is a force that the Portuguese Kingdom cannot be ignored. It is an advance army with its tentacles deep into the East. The Kingdom and Spain had already made a covenant, agreeing to divide the entire world with the meridian as the center. So the Spaniards operated the Americas, while the Portuguese went all the way east, and now... this was undoubtedly the sharp claws of the kingdom being cut off.
Someone had already discovered him, and several new army students rushed over with great momentum. As Alfonso escaped with him, the guards still wanted to resist, but Alfonso waved his hand, and the meaning was very obvious.
Alfonso knew in his heart that it was about to come when his family exchanged ransom for him, so he touched the curly hair on his head, and the wig and triangular cap on his head disappeared. He had to stroke the wrinkled military uniform on his body and stood up straight. When several new military personnel from the town country walked up to him, he said with a stern look: "I am Alfonso, the governor of the Kingdom of Portugal to Malacca. On behalf of my army and fleet, I surrender to your country. I hope you can guard the knights..."
Bang...
A butt stock was a fierce butt stock, and a new army student in the township was very unceremonious and smashed it hard on his forehead with the butt stock, interrupting the "kind and friendly" conversation.
In fact, they couldn't understand Alfonso's words, and they just thought that the Franji man had talked too much.
A new army student in the town country looked at Alfonso who was knocked unconscious and couldn't help but mutter: "You're talking too much."
