Accompanied by the sudden sound of the two twin 20mm cannons of the Pride, Degus's hands holding the binoculars trembled involuntarily, God forbid! That scene was so bloody!

At a distance of less than two kilometers, it is a close distance for a three-inch naval gun and a twenty-millimeter machine gun equipped with optical sights.

Despite the fog on the sea, the situation in the dock square could be seen clearly in the Australians' binoculars, and when the first round of shelling of the Nicole shrouded the east and west batteries in the smoke, Degus heard the Pride captain Li Sanduo immediately give the order to shoot all.

The sudden sound startled Dergus, who was standing next to him, and it was obvious that he hadn't realized until just now how lethal the two incomparably delicate "mechanisms" and the few thin iron pipes that protruded out of his side could be, and now, he had finally seen it.

The first to fire were two machine guns.

When the east and west batteries were shelled, the soldiers on the dock square did not understand what was happening there, because the position was relatively low, and the vision in front was blocked by the masts on the sea, even the shield bearers standing in the first row only faintly saw the black shadow of the Nicole appearing on the sea in the distance, although they heard the roar of the cannons and felt a little wrong, but under the constraints of the officers, the soldiers still stood quietly on the dock square.

However, by the time they understood something, it was already too late.

Not only did all the guns on the Pride open fire, but the Nicole, which was three kilometers away, also shifted its muzzles, including the 20mm guns that had a range of enough to reach the docks.

For the soldiers behind the dock trestle, lined up in a dense and neat formation, they were not waiting for the pikemen and musketeers on the opposite side, but for a sudden rain of bullets.

They wondered what was going on over there as the crisp, dense sound of gunfire rang out in the distance, but after a few seconds, the pop of bullets into flesh and the crackling of metal armor shattering through bullets rang out in their ears.

What followed was one scream after another.

Suddenly, two loud bangs exploded over the phalanx of pikemen, and the strong sound waves suddenly caused the soldiers below to temporarily lose their hearing, and the musketeers standing on both sides of the phalanx were horrified to see the large phalanx of pikemen suddenly fall in pieces.

Immediately afterward, there was another huge explosion on the ground, about a dozen people, no, the explosion sent at least two dozen soldiers into the sky like kites, and then, a rain of blood and severed limbs fell on each of the survivors.

The continuous crisp sound of sudden thuds in the distance continued, and at this time, the long formation of three rows of two musketeers suddenly ceased to exist, and there were about a hundred people lying there, all of them missing arms and legs, and some of them only had convulsive headless bodies, and the dock square was stained red with blood, and the fresh stream flowed down the brick cracks in all directions, as if the ground was painted with a red lattice pattern.

In less than thirty seconds, the eighteen three-inch naval guns of the Nicole and the Pride fired more than forty ** and high-explosive shells quite accurately, in addition to more than half of them fell in the commercial area behind the dock square, and about a dozen fell on the trestle and the coast, at that time, a total of six shells fell quite accurately on the front and back of the phalanx, and two of them also happened to hit this densely arranged phalanx.

At the same time, a total of six twin machine guns fired more than 3,000 rounds of 20-millimeter caliber bullets at this dense phalanx in one minute, and it was obvious that under the intensity of the blow, only a very small number of soldiers lined up in a dense formation could survive.

As a result, the phalanx, which had been neatly arranged in the dock square just a moment ago, disappeared in just one minute, and was replaced by incessant screams and corpses lying everywhere in the square, as well as stumps and severed arms......

However, the blow from the sea continued, and unfortunately, the surviving pikemen and shieldmen in heavy armor were now forced to flee in all directions with their heavy bodies, apparently too slow, and when the rain of machine guns swept across the unobstructed dock square, these panicked soldiers could only subconsciously want to hide behind their comrades, but the fallen comrades would still expose themselves to the enemy's bullets.

The bullets of the 20mm cannon have a strong kinetic energy, and ordinary people usually fly out as long as they are hit by one shot, not to mention that more than one bullet hits a person's body at that moment, so after these poor soldiers finally landed, the surviving people will find that the vast majority of people's bodies have been broken.

Sometimes, a single bullet would penetrate two people, especially the two musketeers who were not armoured, and in less than a minute, the two musketeers were gone, and there were basically only three rows of screaming wounded soldiers and corpses---- apparently the poor musketeers did not realize that they would be hit by such a fierce blow at this distance, and many of them were shot before they realized that they were about to escape, and as a result, they just lay on their ground, still in their original formation......

Thus, in just a few minutes, King Orne's elite main force of nearly eight hundred men disappeared like this.

According to later records, it took less than four minutes from the bombardment of the Nicole to the destruction of the phalanx in the dock square.

For the first time, the people of the New World are confronted with a highly effective killing game, cruel and ruthless.

It is said that there were survivors of this one-sided killing, about 100 people, who eventually disappeared into the streets of Dili City and became "civilians", who often woke up from their dreams, and what was once a terrible experience became a nightmare that will linger for a lifetime.

The battle in the square ended quickly, and the Nicole had already stopped shooting, because Gu Jin found that this group of young people were fighting happily, but the hit rate was really not flattering, considering that the distance was indeed a bit far, so he decisively stopped this waste of ammunition.

Of course, because the Pride was relatively close, Gu Jin allowed Li Sanduo to decide whether to continue shooting or not.

However, the enemy on the square disappeared too quickly, and the Pride that had lost its target had to re-point the muzzle of the gun to the east and west batteries, which made Peng Qiang and the others feel a little unhappy, they each fired almost three shots, and when the shooting parameters were just fully calibrated and ready to "eat meat" again, they received an order to stop shooting.

Because the Nicole Lookout reported that there was no one left in the east and west batteries, the lookouts could clearly see through the binoculars that the soldiers there had fled down the stairs into Dili City.

Both the soldiers on the batteries and the citizens near the dock square witnessed the massacre that took place in the port, yes, it was more of a one-sided massacre than a battle, because the losing side simply did not have the opportunity to launch any kind of counterattack against the enemy.

In particular, the scene of the machine guns firing at the phalanx not only frightened the losers, but also shocked the slaughterers, I am afraid that they will never forget in their lives, it turns out that a battle can be so cruel.

During the whole battle, only Pimont kept smiling, and he smiled brightly, at this time Degus was also smiling, but his face was a little pale, the old man's hands were still shaking until the shooting stopped, and then there were all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms, he gasped heavily, as if his legs were also starting to tremble a little, and he couldn't take a step for a while.

The crew next to them saw this scene, and they immediately went up to help the crumbling old man very intimately, and the substitute doctor who heard the news also appeared on the top deck, and he told the entourage around Degus with a concerned face, that it was okay, help the old man to the cabin below, and give him a cup of strong tea with white sugar......
