The arrival of the Ming army was faster than Lin Xiao imagined. Just when he set up a cabin to take care of Lin Manjue, who was determined to take revenge, three fleets led by the iconic ironclad ship of the Nanyang Navy vanguard Deng Zilong had sailed to the western waters of Guam with Lin Liqin.

Following closely behind, it was Chen Lin's huge fleet with strong military strength.

Lin Manjue successfully landed in Guam for 5,000 miles apart, which greatly encouraged Chen Mu's confidence in the expedition. Although there are still problems in the transportation of baggage, this problem can be avoided to a certain extent in Guam.

As long as the attack was destroyed and destroyed, the Spanish prepared a lot of food and grass.

The situation of naval warfare and land warfare is different. There is no such thing as the ancestors who say that eating the enemy for one bell can defeat me for twenty bells, and at most five bells can defeat me.

But this is not important. Eating food from the enemy is twenty times more happy than eating food from your own.

Shao Tingda Luzon Central Guards and Fu Yuan Luzon Southern Guards, each of whom dispatched a thousand flag troops, including two thousand battalions of Chen Lin's headquarters and one thousand flag troops in Deng Zilong's headquarters, and three thousand direct troops equipped with Nanyang flintlock guns, carrying landmines, grenades, gunpowder-bound bombs, small flag arrows and other firearms. A total of five thousand troops were shipped to Guam for an expedition.

After them, there were 1,000 to 1,500 miles east of Luzon and 3,500 to 4,000 miles west of Guam, and Chen Mu also convened a sea brigade fleet composed of 100 Dafu and 200 small black and white boats.

Relying on huge manpower and material resources, we take the risk of the food ship being destroyed by wind and waves, and use manpower to reduce the distance of the baggage by 20%.

It is best to be able to eat enemy food. If you can't eat it slowly, at least you will have a steady stream of food and grass to transport it later.

In Chen Mu's mind, the first phase of the Ming and Western War ended when the Philippine Governor fled the territory last year, and the second battle began when he watched Chen Lin march eastward on Chen Lai Island.

But this is not the case for the Spaniards. Lin Manjue's 440 people played a much greater role than he thought.

His elusive harassment made the Spaniards not dare to send out an advance fleet to the west even when he was sailing away from the island. It was a long nail hanging on his back, making people afraid of their heads and tails, and they would not dare to look around without pulling them out.

No Spanish on Guam believed that there were only four hundred enemies from the Ming Dynasty, and even after they were attacked, there were only less than a hundred people left.

After the Suniga Company fought against Lin Manjue, they became more convinced that there were several Ming army companies on the island like Lin Manjue, and they were still in danger.

The Ming Dynasty in their minds has always been the Ming Dynasty they imagined. It was not until they fought with Lin Manjue that this imagination became apparent. When the news of the fall of the Philippines reached New Spain, the fear from the Ming Dynasty was invincible. This brave and warlike Ming army company undoubtedly deepened this impression.

It was dark, and the small boat that Zeng Xishun put down from the previous ship climbed the cables onto the ironclad ship, pointing to Deng Zilong far away at the misty shadow of the sea in the east and said, "General, that's Guam."

Deng Zilong was grinding his eight-foot-browed sharp knife over and over again, and he was considering whether to change to a golden gourd.

While sailing, their fleet was meeting a ship of deserters who abandoned Lin Manjue. Deng Zilong did not deliberately blame them, and gave them water and grain to find out the situation, asking them to follow Zeng Xishun to lead the way and then go to Guam.

It is impossible to let them go back. No matter whether they are central army Chen Lin, Luzon Chen Mu, or Guangdong Bai Yuanjie, they are all the masters of strict military law. If they say anything wrong, they have to hand over their heads. It is better to make up for the baggage and eat and drink before going to Guam, and then fight a few battles. At that time, most of the matter will be exposed.

As long as you win, no one cares what they did in the middle.

The general, known for his bravery, stood up, and his servants stood behind him with his servants. Deng Zilong held the ship railing and looked back at the fleet driving together, raised his hand and pointed: "Beat the drum."

Dong!

A heavy drum was like a beating in the hearts of the soldiers, making people cheer up their spirits and tightly grasp the weapons. The iron-clad ships were like forests. Then the drums continued to sound. The captains of each ship looked around the sea but did not find the enemy situation. They searched in the distance with their telescopes, and finally found the outline of the island gradually appeared in the shadows.

Their purpose of this trip is Guam.

Three thousand six-foot ships, five five hundred-foot shark ships sandwiched the iron-foot ships in the middle to ride the wind and waves with a line. Several small shark ships on both sides rushed back and forth, and since the war drums sounded, the two grain-for-good ships fell on the spot and no longer advanced.

With the ironclad ship a few horns coming out, the boards were still hung with soil, and the shrubs of the small shark ship left the fleet. Zeng Xishun led the escaped soldiers who left Guam and more than 70 people from the headquarters to sail to the south of Guam. They wanted to circle the island to search for Lin Manjue's traces.

The huge fleet reached the port twenty miles west of Guam and was discovered by the Spanish garrison at the port. However, after several miles of sailing, the port assembled more than ten large ships and armed merchant ships, and directly welcomed the Ming army vanguard Deng Zilong.

"Crash the boat and stay ahead!"

Deng Zilong ordered the iron armored ship to hit the drum tower three times, reminding his ships to watch the flag. Then the flag was waving. Two small shark boats with explosion-hit angles sailed to the front of the team. The sailors without armor on the ship knelt down to the sky, and then each held a close force and waited for the formation.

The fleet then deviated, and nine large ships set out on the port side facing the enemy ship.

More than a dozen Spanish fleets set out toward Deng Zilong, and the Ming Dynasty's South Ocean Expedition Pioneer held a telescope and curled the corners of his mouth.

Three large sailboats no less than the Red Sea were in front of them, with sailors and sailing decks densely packed; the next six armed merchant ships surrounded a large ship, and the last row was also three ships of different sizes.

Twelve large warships rushed towards them in fearless manner surrounded by double boats and boats. The huge sails were blown by the wind, and the tall masts and ship shapes looked like sea castles approaching them, which was intimidating.

This is probably the most dangerous battle that Deng Zilong faced in his lifetime. No matter the number or size of the ships, he could not have any advantage.

The two armies were more than ten miles apart. Ishiqi, the young expedition general who was fighting with the army, climbed up the ironclad ship, raised his telescope and looked east, and said to Deng Zilong: "General, the enemy is powerful, we should avoid the edge for a while, unite with the central army, and defeat the main force of the enemy in one fell swoop."

Deng Zilong opened his mouth slightly, staring at the enemy ship from afar, suddenly blinked, raised his hand and asked Shi Qi, "It is OK to avoid the edge for the time being. Does General Shi know how to defeat them?"

Hearing this sentence, Shiqi knew that he had been talking in vain, so he bowed and said, "The soldiers use their lives, do not seek close attacks, but only fight far away. First, they will break the three large ships, divide the fleet into two, and attack one ship together, and then the enemy will be defeated."

In fact, the strategy of using the crowd to attack the few is nothing more than weak overall soldiers and many local soldiers, gathering fire to attack and sinking enemy ships one by one.

"That's what we are saying. The soldiers are making achievements in this day. We should use great victory to strengthen our army's power. How can we see the reason why the little guy jumps and retreats?"
