On the battleship "Southeast Asia II", the stars were shining, and the long guns and short guns were piled up, and the officers carefully observed the battle situation.

The Southeast Fleet attacks the city of Malacca!

In the vast waters of Southeast Asia, cruisers and corvettes are like fish in water, to use an inappropriate analogy, like a cheetah chasing a gazelle, of course, the armed merchant ships of the red-haired fan are not as easy to provoke as gazelles, or they may be called leopards against wolves.

Although the battleship has great firepower, it is an elephant, and it cannot catch up with the wolf.

Battleships are the most important weapons of the country, so naturally they have places to go, such as the Malacca fortress in front of them, they can talk to the fortress guns, and the cruiser may not be able to fight a strong fortress for a hundred years.

After commanding this battle, Hong Xuguan "gifted" the Hongmaofan fleet out of the Strait of Malacca, and felt that he did not have a strong record and could not take it (Hongmaofan had been running away, he did not have a more protracted naval battle with Hongmaofan, and the Hongmaofan ship was wounded by the former commander Chen De), so he used a battleship formation to attack Malacca City.

Malacca City is located in the middle of the Malay Peninsula and the Straits of Malacca, in the middle of the Straits of the Strait, and the terrain is very important!

The port has a wide water depth, which is convenient for the safe passage of large-tonnage ships; The port is free of danger and is not attacked by storms, which is convenient for defense; The harbor has dense mangrove forests as a barrier; There is also a towering hill from which you can overlook the estuary, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In 1402, Bairi Missoula established the Sultan of Malacca on the Malay Peninsula, which is called the Kingdom of Manraka in the Ming history of our country, and its capital is Malacca.

In the early days of the Sultanate of Malacca, they paid gold to Siam every year for protection.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, after Baili Missoula met the Ming Chengzu, he officially paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Ming Chengzu named Bairi Missoula as the king of Manraka and provided protection for Malacca.

In 1405~1433, Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He to the West seven times. Zheng He went to Malacca almost every time, bringing with him many treasures, silver seals, robes, etc., that Zhu Di had given to the king of Malacca.

At that time, the Chinese from Guangdong and Fujian followed Zheng He's fleet to settle in Malacca, where they engaged in commerce and farming, and also brought Chinese customs to the local area.

Malacca was ruled by eight generations of sultans, and in 1511, it was conquered by the Portuguese who expanded eastward, and the Ming power withdrew from the Strait of Malacca, not to mention the Indian Ocean.

From now on, Chinese films will not sail out of the Indian Ocean!

The power of the Chinese has declined terribly, and the South China Sea has been reduced to an inner lake of Hongmaofan.

Until the millions of Chinese went to Southeast Asia, the leader Yan Changwu was not ambiguous at all and seized the Malay Peninsula, but he did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city of Malacca, but was at peace with the Portuguese.

In the past, there were many red-haired boats to supply Malacca City, so Malacca City was still quite prosperous.

Today finally waited for the time and found an excuse, Officer Hong Xu commanded the battleship formation to attack the city of Malacca.

He gave an ultimatum first, which the Portuguese did not accept.

Everyone practiced, first of all, an artillery battle, in which the battleships opened fire to bombard the city of Malacca, and the Portuguese were not to be outdone.

The 32-pounder cannon rang out, and it sounded like a knock on everyone's heart.

The sound of artillery did not stop for a moment, and swarms of shells flew towards the coast, and the battleships were very brave and opened fire in close combat.

And the Portuguese were also prepared, and the Chinese officers and soldiers saw the dazzling glare of fire, and the sound was equally vibrating, and it was transmitted to the battleship, which was the Portuguese battery firing, where the square battery spewed out more than twenty or thirty tongues of fire at a time, and the speed was not slow, and the attack force was still very strong.

The flames flew into the sky, and the shells flew across the sea, hitting the water, or on battleships.

The battleships engaged in the battle were in a warm condition, busy firing guns, maneuvering ships, managing damage, and treating the wounded.

Hong Xuguan looked at it for a while, frowning slightly!

Because he saw that the opponent's batteries were shot one after another, but there was no sign of collapse, so as long as the Portuguese had the protection of the batteries and enough ammunition, they could keep fighting.

If the losses of the side are too large, or a few ships are sunk in battle, Hong Xuguan feels that Yali Mountain is big.

It's just that there is no turning back arrow from the bow, Hong Xuguan can only fight hard, and on the surface he is still talking and laughing, pointing and pointing, "This ship is fighting well, and the shells are all hitting the battery" "That ship has a posture but not reality, and the shells hit the mountain, but unfortunately many of them did not hit the battery" "Mmmm, the training of the red hair fan looks okay, and the fight is quite accurate." ”

The next moment he changed his face, he saw that the battery fired three salvo shots in five minutes, and at least half of the shells fell on the battleship "Nanhai No. 21", and the cannon sound continued, and the shells fell one after another, causing the mast of the "Nanhai No. 21" to break and kill people, and the wood chips on the deck were flying.

And our shells hit the battery, and the battery still didn't move!

He couldn't help but say angrily: "The fort built by the Portuguese is still quite strong!" ”

A senior staff member next to him replied helplessly: "It's still the fort that we Chinese helped them build!" ”

When the Portuguese captured the city of Malacca, the original castle consisted of walls and four main towers, one of which was a four-story main building, and the other three were ammunition rooms, captain's quarters, and officers' quarters. Most of the inhabitants lived in the town inside the castle, which was enlarged in 1586 as the population grew.

Most of the expansion works were undertaken by the Chinese.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have been infrastructure madness, and when we Chinese are building the Great Wall, Westerners are still picking wild fruits from the trees!

Those Chinese used huge bricks and stones as the outer layer, glutinous rice and egg whites as the glutinous glue, and then a layer of rammed earth and thick logs inside, waiting for the idle cannonballs to hit it, there will be no phenomenon of destruction at all. There were countless potholes in the outer layer of the masonry, but that was all, not even the rammed earth layer was exposed, let alone collapsed.

Now, the exquisite craftsmanship of the Chinese ancestors has made future generations suffer!

Does it count as a grandfather and grandson?!

Several battleships were wounded and had to retreat.

However, Hong Xuguan insisted on attacking and used this to train his troops!

The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, the steel comes from the uninterrupted forging, and the army is used to fight.

He sent people to observe with binoculars to see which ship fought well, and gave commendations, and criticized those who fought badly!

The main thing is to record the landing point of the shell, of course, there are times when it is inaccurate, so let's look at the approximate data.

It was the donkey or the horse that came out to kick out, which made the captains very nervous, lest they fall behind, and many captains went down to the gun deck to supervise the battle, and everyone who fought well added food, and those who fought badly doubled their training.

Of course, Hong Xuguan is also under pressure, he must break the city, and he must minimize casualties and losses.

He deeply felt the pressure of the former commander Chen De, and in private, he sighed: "The commander is honorable, but this position is not easy to sit in!" ”

After three days of fighting, the battleships were in vain, and the Portuguese batteries were as solid as a rock!

No battleships were sunk on our side, but the number of casualties was rising.

Officer Hung had to find another way to prepare to send marines to land and attack the city of Malacca from land.
