When Zheng Chenggong learned that the Spanish fleet had approached the direction of Jiesheng City, he jumped up from the cabin excitedly.

Hard work pays off. Li Dingguo said it well, and he really let them wait.

Whether it is the Spanish or the Japanese pirates, these guys who are good at water war are actually very arrogant in their hearts.

They believed in their experience in naval battles and believed that they could defeat the Ming army.

But Zheng Chenggong believed in the combat effectiveness of his troops from the bottom of his heart.

As long as the opponent's main force can be forced out of the next battle, it will be a hearty battle.

Until now, the Ming Navy was in wartime.

Although the soldiers were still resting in the cabin, once the order was issued, they would immediately jump up like Zheng Chenggong and rushed to their respective posts as fast as possible to prepare for battle.

They were very clear about naval battles and even night battles, when to do what and how to deal with the Spanish's fierce attacks.

Of course, the Ming army chose to attack.

After all, the Spaniards did not realize that the Ming army ambushed in the harbor would see them first.

If the Ming army did not take the lead in the bombing, it would be a bit sorry for the waiting time.

The Ming army took the lead in firing artillery, and the loud resounding brought by the roar of artillery fire completely tore the tranquility in the night.

The Spaniards were completely unprepared. Faced with the bombardment like a storm, they were completely trapped in a sense of fear.

Moreover, the Ming army's artillery was powerful enough, and it was the most suitable existence for combat created by today's Zi's reconciliation based on Prussian cannons and red-clothed cannons.

This kind of artillery can often exert its maximum power when placed on a navy warship.

Zheng Chenggong conducted a slight training, which made the artillery extremely lethal.

The Ming army took the lead in bombardment, and the Spaniards were completely confused.

Many of them were still napping on the deck and were awakened by a shot.

As for the Spanish governor in the cabin, he was also shocked by the fire, put down the black tea cup in his hand and rushed out in a hurry.

He did lead his troops to come overnight after receiving Mario's letter of help.

But the problem was that he originally thought that the Ming army was gradually advancing from land, but he did not expect that the Ming army navy also made a big deal on the sea.

Judging from the current situation, the Ming army navy has blocked the sea surface and left only one hole, waiting for Matisse to hit it up.

At this moment, Matisse was very disappointed.

He was careless and underestimated the enemy. In short, he paid a heavy price for not paying attention to the Ming army.

But it is still timely to make adjustments now.

After all, Espanyol has strong execution ability. As long as he hears him issue an order, he will definitely respond as soon as possible.

The Spanish fleet was not good at fighting, and immediately raised its cannon and started fighting back after hearing Matisse's order to fight back.

Unlike the artillery used by the Ming Navy, Spanish artillery is more suitable for the type of bombardment when spreading on a large area on the sea.

In a relatively narrow local environment, it is difficult to truly exert the power of this artillery.

Sure enough, the Spanish were thundering loudly and raining lightly.

Many artillery did not hit the Ming Navy's ships, but hit the shore.

This makes people very desperate.

Mattis stomped his feet in anger.

But grief is of no help to the situation.

Soon Matisse understood this and began to make timely adjustments.

"Order the left and right wings to adjust the direction and pull the distance widen."

There is no doubt that Spanish artillery can exert its maximum power at relatively long distances.

At the beginning, the reason why many Spanish cannons hit the shore was because the Spanish fleet was not far from the Ming Navy.

In this case, of course, you will not hit the target.

After realizing this, Matisse immediately ordered the adjustment of the distance with the Ming army.

As long as the distance is really widened, the Ming army can taste the power of Spanish cannons.

Sure enough, the left and right wings of the Spanish fleet immediately adjusted after receiving the order.

Their speed of adjustment surprised Zheng Chenggong a little.

But what surprised Zheng Chenggong and even the Ming army even more was the power of Spanish artillery.

At the beginning, the Spanish artillery, which had a very low hit rate, changed drastically, especially the existence of both wings.

Many Ming army naval warships were hit and a raging fire ignited.

In this case, the ship will definitely not be able to sit in a short period of time.

But fortunately, they relied on the port, and the Ming soldiers could jump ship to survive.

Although the Spaniards doubled the Ming army, the Spaniards in Jieshengsuo City must not dare to rush out easily.

So in fact, the Ming army was mainly facing the fleet led by Matisse.

The Spanish fleet was in a fan shape, and the firepower peaked in a short period of time.

However, the Ming army was not willing to be outdone and used some artillery on the shore to suppress fire.

The artillery on the navy and the artillery on the shore formed an extremely enviable group of firepower, and instantly took back the momentum.

Sometimes the head coach's decision is on the battlefield, which can change the direction and trend of the battlefield.

There is no doubt that at this moment, the Ming army once again took the initiative in the battlefield.

From beginning to end, Li Dingguo was observing silently and didn't say much.

Before the battle begins, he can give Zheng Chenggong some suggestions.

But after the battle began, he would remain silent and let Zheng Chenggong arrange the arrangements.

After all, in terms of naval warfare, Zheng Chenggong is still much more experienced than him.

Li Dingguo thought he would not express too much in areas he was not good at, because he knew very well that this was irrational behavior.

He believed that Zheng Chenggong could command this battle well, so he naturally would not say much.

As long as Zheng Chenggong cooperates with him to complete the next battle, the victory will definitely belong to the Ming army.

Before going to war, Li Dingguo had already decided that this time he would act as a foil for Zheng Chenggong.

The Ming Dynasty is what makes him happy. There is no need to have any conflict with Zheng Chenggong in order to compete for credit.

Matisse was shocked to an extreme extent by the adjustments of the Ming army.

He really didn't expect the Ming army's adjustment to be so fast and so in place.

At least for now, this is the most difficult opponent he has ever encountered.

But even if the opponent is struggling, he still has to deal with it.

If the opponent is allowed to suppress the firepower without responding, the morale will soon be disintegrating.

Matisse certainly understood the seriousness of this problem.

No one wants to face such a situation.

So, Matisse had to use the firepower of his flagship and the guard ship in advance to target Zheng Chenggong's ship and attack.
