Chapter 365: Conquering Macau

"Bang ......"

Suddenly a flowering bomb in Louis. Juan's side exploded.

This time it was not only Juan, but also the sailors around him who flew into the air and finally fell into the sea.

Francis, who was not an opponent in the first place, became even more panicked and desperately fled after losing his commander.

Seeing that they had no power to fight back at all, Zheng Chenggong didn't want to waste ammunition, so he immediately ordered:

"Stop firing, Hongwu, Guangwu, Wendi, you rush up and sink them."

"Yes"

The three ironclad battleships immediately pursued the three Francoman-sail battleships.

"God, the Ming battleship is catching up, run......"

Seeing the three battleships of the Ming Dynasty chasing quickly, the Portuguese were frightened to death, desperately urging the sailors to refuel and shake the pulp, and it was too slow to sail on the sails alone.

But no matter how they run, they are useless and doomed to sink in Chinese waters.

The fastest speed of the ironclad battleship is fourteen knots, while the sail battleship is only about eight knots, and catching up with them is as simple as playing.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the three Ming ironclad battleships caught up with them.

"Hold on to the handrail and prepare for impact."

The captain gave an order, and the Ming army on the ironclad battleship immediately grabbed the handrails beside him.

At the same time, the ramming horns of the ironclad battleship slammed into the Portuguese sail battleship.

"Bang Bang ......"

Three loud bangs were heard, and two sail warships were halved from the middle, and one sail warship was directly knocked over.

And the Daming ironclad battleship just shook violently, and there was no damage.

The combat efficiency of this battle is so high that it is even more powerful than the bombardment of hundreds of artillery shells.

Seeing the Portuguese sailors struggling in the icy water, Zhang Huangyan and the three immediately asked Zheng Chenggong for instructions:

"Governor, what to do with the gringos in the water?"

"Leave them alone, leave them to fend for themselves! Immediately attack the city defense of Macau. ”

Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered them to give up saving people and bombarding Macao.

Now that the sea is bitterly cold, it is estimated that they will soon be buried in the belly of the fish.

The Governor of Macao has been paying attention to the battle on the sea, and saw that the Portuguese fleet, which was once known as the little overlord of the sea, was now directly killed in front of the Ming ironclad battleship.

All five warships were sunk by the Daming Naval Division, and he felt that Macao might not be able to be saved.

His hands began to tremble, and he could barely hold the telescope.

But it was useless to be afraid, he knew the consequences of losing Macau and going back, so he hurriedly issued an order:

"Order, artillery ready to fight, swear to the death to hold Macau."

Alfonso gave the order, and all the shore guns began to load their shells, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the Ming warships on the sea.

The arrival of the White Tiger in Macau was not only to give the Portuguese an order to leave, but also to inspect the city defense of Macau.

Zheng Chenggong already knew exactly the location of the Macao Fort from the White Tiger.

After dealing with the Portuguese fleet, the Daming Naval Division immediately launched an attack on Macao.

Zheng Chenggong personally climbed to the top of the chimney to observe the platform to check the situation in the city.

Don't look at Macao, it's not big, but there are really a lot of forts, and at least 100 cannons are ready to shell the Ming warships at any time.

Don't think that you can be unscrupulous because you are an ironclad battleship.

If it is hit by many shells at the same time, the battleship will also be severely damaged after a long time.

Seeing that the deployment of troops in Macao was not much different from what the White Tiger said, Zheng Chenggong picked up the walkie-talkie and began to arrange combat missions:

"All the warships obeyed the order and immediately moved around Macao and opened fire, and in the first round, they bombarded the forts in the city with flowering shells."

"Yes"

Receiving the order, the six battleships immediately began to move slowly around Macao.

In the process of moving, the 24 naval guns flanked by the six ironclad battleships began to attack the position of the fort in the city.

Each battleship had 24 guns on one side, and six battleships were more than 100 guns, attacking the city of Macao at the same time.

At that time, there was no positioning system, which was equivalent to a blind shot in the general direction.

Even if it is a blind fire, after all, there are so many naval guns shelling at the same time, and there will definitely be shells that will hit the target.

"Boom ......"

In an instant, artillery roared, and many batteries in the city of Macao were hit.

Flowering shells are difficult to destroy artillery, but they are effective in killing artillery.

The artillery in the city thought that the naval guns would attack the city wall, but where would they have thought that the shells would fly directly at them, and they would be a mess in an instant.

The Governor of Macau, Alfonso, was also shocked, he had never seen a battleship open fire while it was moving.

"Quick, open fire and attack the Ming warships on the sea."

"Boom ......"

Almost at the same time, the artillery on the head of the city and the batteries in the city began to attack the Ming warships.

However, the Ming warships were all moving targets, and it was difficult for their shells to hit the target.

Even if there were occasional shells bombarding the ironclad battleship, there were no soldiers on the deck of the battleship at this time, and of course it would not be able to cause damage.

After a round of shelling, the Ming battleship immediately turned in one direction, and the naval guns on the other side began to bombard again, still flowering shells.

"Boom ......"

Hundreds of flowering shells exploded in the city of Macao, and many artillery pieces were killed by the Ming army.

At the time of the incense, the city of Macao was bombarded by naval artillery shells.

Seeing the Portuguese soldiers fleeing in panic, Zheng Chenggong gave another order.

"Sail battleship, join the battle immediately, target the city walls."

Five more Hairstyle Sail Battleships, which had never been involved in the battle, began to enter the battle.

Each of them, with nearly 100 guns on board, began to bombard the walls of Macao.

"Emperors, change incendiary bombs and continue to bombard the city and the city-head forts."

In order to cover the bombardment of the city wall by the five sail warships, Zheng Chenggong immediately asked the ironclad battleships to exchange for incendiary bombs.

This was all exchanged by Zhu Youzhen from the system, and the power was definitely not as powerful as our current incendiary bomb, but it was definitely an artifact at that time.

"Boom ......"

More than 100 incendiary bombs were thrown into the city, and the incendiary bombs shattered immediately after hitting the ground, and the oil inside was ignited by gunpowder and splashed everywhere.

The city of Macau suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and many soldiers were ignited by the splashes of fire oil.

Where have the Portuguese soldiers seen this style of play, and they no longer have the heart to fight and start running in all directions.

The soldiers on fire rolled on the ground screaming and screaming.

No matter how much their governor shouted it didn't work, the usually fierce black soldiers, who were also fierce in running away at this time, ran faster than the Portuguese soldiers.

At the same time, the sail warship of the general Shenwei began to exert his might, and soon collapsed the city wall of Macao in several places.

The five sail warships continued to bombard the gap, and soon a large section of the wall was knocked down.

The Portuguese soldiers hiding behind the walls were either crushed by cannonballs or crushed to death by the collapsed walls.

They were already short of manpower, and half of them were killed by the Ming warship guns.

Not a single one of the remaining hundreds of people running away could be seen, and even the governor of Macao was nowhere to be seen at this time.

"Landing, all those armed in the city will be killed."

Zheng Chenggong immediately issued a landing order, and each battleship was equipped with five hundred marines.

After receiving the landing order, the battleship immediately docked, and the Ming officers and men began to land through the gap.

They were all dressed in bulletproof vests, steel helmets, rifled guns, and short guns and bayonets pinned to their waists.

The Ming soldiers were almost armed to the teeth, shouting slogans and rushing into the city of Macau.
