Any Spanish who saw the grimace in the sky guessed that other beams of light must have come from the sight of other devils. If they were swept by the beams of light, the devil's eyes would sweep from their bodies. So when the Ming ship leaning over pointed at them with a searchlight, the Spanish officers on the deck were trembling involuntarily because of fear, adding a hideous devil face to the dazzling beams of light.

"Christ, the Chinese have a deal with the devil." The captain of a Spanish warship finally realized that they were being attacked by the Chinese, but now the most important enemy in his mind was not the Chinese, but the terrifying devil. The captain tried to command the warships to avoid the light columns that were shooting, but this was obviously impossible. Several armed merchant ships of the Ming army stared at the same target, and seven or eight light columns illuminated the Spanish warships.

The captain's eyes were white and he couldn't see clearly what was behind the light. The beam of light hit his body and made the captain's hair stand up because he knew that the devil was staring at him without blinking.

"God is my shield." The captain screamed in despair, trying to scare away the enemy he could not defeat with the name of God. Until now, he had not yet thought about whether he should order the artillery to shoot between the two beams of light-lights-the searchlight was fixed on the deck, and the lampposts of the two searchlights in the air were definitely not the hull but the air, but the captain thought that it should be the bridge of the devil's nose, and some of them were the devil's forehead. If he wanted to hit the devil, the face was definitely a key point that should not be missed-but although the captain had a firm belief and had always believed that God would bless him to stay away from the threat, when he really faced with the devil, the captain's calves kept trembling. When he thought that more than one devil was staring at him, the captain could not pluck up the courage and could not order the devil's face.

However, not everyone was staring at by the devil. Some people were trapped in complete despair and fought desperately before talking. After realizing what kind of enemy was in front of them, a gun captain in a boat called to fire at the devil's forehead to repel it.

"This will anger the devil." A gunner replied in panic. In his opinion, firing a gun at the devil will not have any effect at all, but will only anger these invincible powerful enemies.

"Are you just watching them seize our souls?" The gunman roared. He believed in God and his firm belief did not allow him to compromise with the devil. Under the command of the gunman, the gunmen completed the loading of gunpowder and projectiles. Before firing, the gunman kissed the cross in his hand fiercely, stuffed it into the barrel without hesitation, and shouted while personally igniting it, spitting out all the air in his lungs: "God is our shepherd!"

The shells roared over the Ming army ships, and immediately the Ming army saw the remaining flames on the Spanish hull. They immediately swept to the position where the flames were spitting out. The Ming army artillery, who was shooting, also adjusted the muzzle and aimed at the counterattack position of Spain according to the searchlight instructions.

In the Spanish cabin, the sailors clearly saw the shells they shot, and the shells with crosses were not able to repel the devil, and the devil did not even make a shrill howl. Many people were just fantasizing that the shells should at least make the devil hurt, and the cross would also give the devil a burning sensation. If a howl really came, even if its sound was terrifying, it would greatly encourage the fighting spirit of these gunners, making them feel that the enemy could be hurt, and thus inspire them to fire more shells.

But now it has only led the devil's sight. When the light of the searchlight passed through the cannon window and shot into the cabin, the Spanish sailors bathed in it were as dumb as a wooden chicken, and sweat was like a fountain on their foreheads. The gun captain who had just advocated the counterattack was now shocked, as if his extraordinary courage had been fired out with his cross; and beside the gun captain with pale face and trembling, another non-commissioned officer actually took two steps toward the cannon window with the strong light, and bowed deeply toward the devil's gaze: "I'm sorry, sir."

Responding to this apology was the fierce sound of cannons. At this time, several Chinese ships were already surrounding the Spanish warship, and they kept bombarding it with more than thirty cannons. The warship with forty-two cannons was being beaten, and the sails did not rise and the iron anchor was not pulled out from the sea. Even the Imperial Navy had never imagined that the resistance would be so weak during the prior exercise. Although they knew that the searchlight could shine on the Spanish eyes, they also hoped that the big face would make the The Spanish were stunned for a while, but the Imperial Army never expected that the effect was so significant - because the Imperial Army knew what the searchlight was and would not believe that it was a monster; and Deng Ming felt that the face was a lot of flaws. He could realize that it was artificial by just looking carefully for ten minutes, and the Imperial Army wanted to fight for these ten minutes. He didn't expect that the Spanish would actually think that there was a real devil behind each searchlight because of that face.

Because the Spanish were completely unable to understand the searchlight, and the grimace in the sky was the best explanation for them to understand the mysterious light column that suddenly appeared. From the well-educated captains to the illiterate bottom deck sailors, they had no difference in front of the searchlight, they were completely ignorant, so they quickly accepted this was the devil's hint.

The shells falling into the cabin or deck are different from the iron projectiles in the past. They will explode, which is of course also a devil's spell. Spanish officers know what flowering bullets look like. There is usually a fuse on the flowering bullets. When the cannon is fired out of the muzzle, the flames may ignite the fuse. When the fuse is burned out, the shells will be detonated. The fire rate of this flowering bullet is very high, and it is very unsafe for both use and storage, so countries are unwilling to use them on a large scale. But as a non-commissioned officer, the Spanish Navy will let their officers know this weapon so as not to make a fuss when they suddenly encounter it.

But the shells fired by the Chinese were obviously not like this. They did not have a fuse that hissed. From the outside, they looked no different from ordinary shells, and they did not make any abnormal noises. However, they would suddenly explode and kill the surrounding sailors in large quantities.

"Devil, go back to hell!" The priests who were originally non-combatants have rushed to the front line. As the people with the strongest faith, they will never bow and apologize to the devil, but now the first thing they have to do is to deal with these magic-imposed shells. The priests held the Bible and stretched out their arms toward the suspicious shells: "Go back to hell!"

Similar things happened on other Spanish warships attacked by searchlights and shells. Some priests soaked the cross in water and urgently created holy water that could subdue the devil to help the soldiers fight. However, holy water is not omnipotent. Some shells were indeed driven away by holy water and did not explode, but some shells still exploded after overcoming the suppression of holy water. Moreover, holy water cannot block the devil's sight, and even if a bucket of holy water is poured onto the pillar of light, it cannot be extinguished. Similarly, even if the holy water is applied to the eyelids, they still cannot open their eyes, and they cannot penetrate the devil's light beam to observe the enemy's actions - they cannot wash their eyes with holy water.

Some Spanish warships farther away from the battlefield began to fire at this time, and the sailors on these ships were less panicked because they were not directly fired by searchlights. The captains of several ships even reacted and issued orders to raise anchors and raise sails. Amid the officers' curses, the sailors on the deck were also awakened from their daze, and they couldn't wait to escape from the devil's control.

The target of these ships firing guns was the glooming face in the distant mid-air. This target was so eye-catching. Although it was far away from the range of these Spanish warships to the west, the gunners were still firing at it like crazy.

At the beginning, the firing may be the behavior of some people, but when they found that the firing was not counterattacked by the devil, these Spanish gunners began to fire wildly, as if every shot shot at the distant grimace, they were one inch away from hell. While many warships began to anchor and move, the priests on these warships also created buckets of holy water. Even if the chance of silence was greatly increased, the gunners had to soak the shells in holy water, kiss it, and then stuff the holy shells that held their faith and hope into the cannon chamber, and then shoot them out at the evil devil.

These Spanish warships were fully fired, not paying attention to concealment or changing courses at all, but just kept regressing and firing. Many gunners were in a state of madness, carrying at full speed and loading artillery. Only by completely exhausting could these fanatical soldiers stop.

At this time, the Chinese fleet continued to approach and attack the Spanish warships near them. The Spanish counterattack and resistance were weak, which made the Chinese ships more at ease and boldly attack with all their strength; the sailors on the deck and in the cannon warehouse seemed to be slow to react, and many people did not dodge at all, and a large number of people were killed.

At this time, some warships were already very close. Many sailors on Chinese ships had picked up rifles and fired at the people on enemy ships under the guidance of searchlights. Over the years, Chengdu's flintlock rifles have been constantly improving. The rifles have become lighter and better, and they can meet different requirements. For example, this naval flintlock rifle is specially made. Its barrel is only two-thirds of the land combat model, but it is more convenient for sailors to use on sea ships. If one day rubber can be rich enough to flow into the gun manufacturing industry, the arms dealer will also consider designing a better waterproof structure for this naval rifle.

On the deck of the Spanish warships, the enemy did not pick up the rifle to resist, nor did they manipulate the short-range cannons deployed on the deck. These Spanish people bathed in the light could not see the enemies on the approaching enemy ships, nor the rifles aiming at them. Most of them held crosses in their hands, kneeled straight on the deck, their eyes closed, and their mouths muttered; while those braver people surrounded the priests, and looked up from time to time to see the source of strong light, and they were still trying to create holy water and try to exorcise evil.
