Chapter 246: The Slaughterhouse
"Command the soldiers, keep the three-three formation charge!"
Standing on the bow deck of the flagship, Zhong Jixiang hurriedly gave an order, "Tell the soldiers that the moment they enter the firing range, they must launch an endless salvo of fire at Lao Tzu!" ”
"The first three rounds of salvos, the target is those Westerner warships, first beat those Westerners' plywood ships, all of them to cripple!"
Those Westerners' four-masted and five-masted battleships, although he also wants to be intact, but that is unrealistic, and people will not obediently give you a prisoner.
It is extremely inappropriate to bury the lives of the soldiers rather than let them pose a great threat to their own side.
What's more, those Western Galen ships, very different from their own Leopard cruisers, have to be dismantled when they are captured, they are just a little better wood, I heard that there are many large warships, all of which are made of oak.
However, as long as their keels are not broken, they can still be removed and used as good wood.
The full sails of the Leopard cruiser were extremely fast, like galloping horses, and after rushing into the waterway of Moon Harbor, the scenery on both sides of the strait retreated backwards like flying.
The entrance channel to this moon harbor is extremely long, and there is no end in sight, and even if the Grand Fleet accelerates with all its might, it will take a lot of time.
After a stick of incense or so, the assault fleet composed of sixty Leopard cruisers had just arrived at the port of the Moon Harbor, and the beacon towers around it had already been lit, and there was a great chaos in the Moon Harbor.
Those Westerners were on the big wharf, counting millions of taels of silver and all kinds of materials used for trading with red faces, and they couldn't even smile from ear to ear.
Who would have thought that at this time, there would be an enemy launching a surprise attack?
Not only these Westerners can't think of it, but even Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang can't think of it.
The current Yuegang can be said to be a veritable Longtan Tiger's Den, which is no exaggeration.
Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong's fleet alone is already more than 1,000 ships of all sizes, and more than 80,000 sailors! 300,000 soldiers of the Nanzhen Army!
Not to mention the dozens of huge Westerner plywood galen ships.
In this case, even if you are a bold person, it is estimated that you will retreat, where do you dare to come to this moon port to scratch the tiger's whiskers?
However, there are people who are so awesome, they are so bold, they can be described as crazy!
When everyone saw the super-large milky white strange warships appearing on the periphery of the port and were about to storm the port, they were stunned one by one!
There is no way not to be shocked, it is really this sudden situation, which has exceeded everyone's imagination, and it is too unexpected.
It wasn't until the other party rushed into the entrance of the wide Moon Harbor waterway, quickly turned the ship sideways, and raised the muzzles of the swarthy cannons, that everyone recovered from their sluggishness.
"Ahh Be...... It's the enemy! ”
"Nima's! Where did this madman come from? ”
"I'm rubbing! This...... These attacking guys are like the legendary battleships and fleets of the Northern Ming Dynasty! ”
"Quick! Get on board! Otherwise, it's over! ”
"Run! These never-before-seen big warships are about to open fire! ”……
All of a sudden, this huge Moon Harbor has become a mess!
At this moment, whether it was Westerners, or people from the Southern Ming Dynasty, whether it was naval officers or army officers, there was a big chaos.
There are those who run towards large and small ships, those who flee to the far shore, and those who stand still and do not know what to do......
"Boom!"
"Boom 1"
"Boom!" …… 20
Those Westerners and the soldiers of various ships had not yet raised their sails before they ushered in an incomparably fierce bombardment.
The first to suffer were the Westerners who had just unloaded a large number of guns and had not yet had time to load the silver on their ships.
These big guys, who were first taken care of by the soldiers, were shelled by groups of three or three, and in an instant, almost all of them were hit by one or several flowering shells.
Now these various big warships are stationary, for the Royal Navy officers and men who fire their guns at such a close distance, hitting this kind of fixed target is the simplest, almost one shot is accurate.
Otherwise, I'm sorry that I have been training hard for nearly half a year.
In just one round of attacks, more than half of the Dutch warships were destroyed and exploded, and nearly ten of them began to sink!
"Boom!" ……
Soon, two more rounds of artillery bombardment passed, and all the Westerners' warships were completely crippled.
Not only were more than half of the Westerners and soldiers who remained on the ship dead or wounded, but even the warships that could be driven were gone.
After eliminating the greatest threat to their own side, the sixty Leopard cruisers immediately turned their guns and launched an incomparably violent and indiscriminate bombardment in all directions, in a formation of three or three!
The bombardment was incessant, and it was already rolling in all directions on the sea, and the sound of artillery was one after another, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the entire sea.
In the Moon Harbor, it has now truly become a hell on earth.
The waves stirred up by the explosion kept surging and surging with bursts of blood-red spray.
On the surface of the seawater, there are still a large number of debris and corpses floating, and a large number of injured sailors are constantly struggling in the seawater.
Bursts of flowering bombs landed in all directions, occasionally landing in the seawater, splashing high blood-red waves.
From time to time, there will be debris or killed and injured sailors, falling into the seawater, the same "poof", splashing a large number of waves.
From time to time, some masts break and fall into the water, and the scene is even more amazing.
When the mast on the battleship is blown away by the flowering bomb, the debris, sailors, and corpses that block the front are brutally smashed open, leaving long scratches on the deck of the ship.
Occasionally, a large number of human bodies were swept away by the blast of the explosion, and the terrible screams could be heard clearly for miles.
These screams were very short, indicating that the deceased had no chance to scream, and had already lost his breath before he fell into the water.
In this moon harbor, there are nearly a thousand ships of all sizes, and every time they go down, almost none of them miss.
Countless sailors who were killed and wounded fell into the water like dumplings.
The water, which had already been dyed red, became even darker red.
Some sailors did not die immediately after falling into the water, waving their hands and feet, and still howling bitterly.
But soon, they were carried deep into the water by their mortally wounded bodies, and disappeared, leaving only the bodies of dead people floating on the surface.
The "rumbling" of the cannon continued, and after seeing that there were no more enemies and were stuck on the large and small ships everywhere, the guns of the Leopard cruisers pointed at the large pier and the nearby land.
This time, the effect of the bombing became more and more obvious.
The crowd that ran everywhere on the land, and suddenly after the flowering bullets fell on it, the stumps were broken and thrown around, and the blood mist spread rapidly!
The screams, the sound of running, the sound of calling friends ......, and the ears are endless.
This scene is truly miserable.
This latest type of Shenwei General Cannon is too lethal to the enemy, especially if the enemy has never encountered this kind of blow at all, and the enemy who is not prepared at all, the effect of its artillery bombardment is not too good!
If you have to use a simple noun to describe everything that happens here, it is appropriate to call it a slaughterhouse.
