"Boom!" ……

The incessant bombardment gradually stopped.

Sixty Leopard cruisers, after ten rounds of salvo fire, seeing that the enemy basically had no ability to counterattack, and most of them were scattered, running in all directions, the fleet began to advance in the direction of the large pier of Moon Harbor.

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Zhu Youxiao looked less than a mile in front of him on the right, and he noticed something abnormal.

A dozen Dutch officers, on the largest battleship, cats and muskets in hand, were about to fire at the royal officers on a Leopard cruiser that had passed them.

"Bang ......"

He hurriedly took out his super short gun and fired more than a dozen shots in a row, killing this group of Westerner officers on the spot.

It is estimated that these are the Dutch generals who came to Moon Harbor to make a big deal.

Although this raid went unexpectedly smoothly, there were many dangers hidden in this huge moon harbor that was crowded with people and ships.

If he hadn't been wearing an invulnerable five-piece set of thousand-year-old ice silk, he wouldn't have dared to stand on the bow of the flagship with such a big grin, watching the excitement while shooting those insidious enemies hiding in the corners.

On the battlefield, especially in this kind of chaotic battle, it is easy to be shot by the enemy.

Having said that, what I like the most is this kind of raid warfare and sneak attack warfare, and I feel more and more like an old coward?

At this time, sixty large warships bombarded the enemy in turn for nearly half an hour, and the resistance force on the scene had almost been completely wiped out.

Because of the need to seize the dock and clear the remnants of the enemy army on the enemy ship, the soldiers were divided into two under the order of Zhong Jixiang.

Half of the large battleships took cover, and half of the battleships went to the shore for landing.

One after another, the big warships took turns to dock, and they did not forget to fire their cannons from time to time to bombard the enemy troops who fled in all directions, and at the same time, from the big warships, rushed down a group of Royal Navy officers and soldiers.

Led by a thousand-man brigade of the Marine Brigade and a brigade of 3,000 men, they began to rush towards targets on the shore.

It wasn't until 60 large warships, with a total of 30,000 Royal Navy officers and men, that these large warships approached the enemy ships one by one, and began to clear the remnants of the enemy ships one by one.

The previous battle, which lasted nearly half an hour of artillery bombardment, had damaged and sunk nearly half of the enemy's ships, large and small.

Those who had stayed on the ships were either killed and wounded, or abandoned their ships and fled, and there were very few enemies left on these surviving ships.

It took the soldiers another half an hour or so to clear all the enemy ships in the harbor.

However, the result made people laugh: with so many ships and ships, not more than 3,000 prisoners, including the dead and overboard, including the wounded!

Regardless of the question, it can be seen that most of the enemies took advantage of the chaos to flee in all directions on land.

However, after preliminary statistics of the results, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang and their two men, nearly 1,000 ships of various sizes, were sunk by 30% and damaged by 20%.

The remaining fifty percent were basically empty ships, and no enemy was found on them.

This is also normal, this kind of battle in which the port is blocked and the one-sided way is carried out, all the enemy ships are not prepared at all, there is no way out, and the total annihilation is certain.

Those enemies are not fools, and when they see that the situation is not good, of course they will flee to all sides of the land.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, if you stay on the ship or stay in place to resist without the slightest preparation, there is no doubt that you will be killed by the enemy's muskets and artillery, and basically have no ability to resist.

Only when we are far away from the range of the enemy's artillery fire can we talk about counterattack.

Most of the people who stayed on the enemy ships, including those Westerners, were just soldiers who had stayed on the ships and had not disembarked.

In the area within a radius of three or four miles of the current big wharf, countless soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty and Westerners fell, and they were bombarded by rounds of Shenwei General artillery and were killed and injured.

Zhu Youxiao roughly estimated that at least 20,000 or 30,000 people died, and there were several thousand people still gasping for breath on the ground.

However, these seriously injured people will not last long, and they will die.

Those who were lightly wounded who were able to move had long since fled without a trace.

Among them, the most tragic proportion of casualties was the 3,000 Dutch soldiers.

The total number of dead bodies and bodies recovered from the water at the scene is at least 2,500.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these Dutch soldiers who had come to trade before were wiped out.

This is also normal, they are all outsiders, newcomers, unfamiliar with everything in this moon port, and when they are bombed by the raid, they don't know where to run at all.

So at that time, most of the Dutch soldiers were running towards their own fleet.

In this way, after the first battle, it is understandable that the entire army was almost wiped out. make

"Your Majesty, these are the items and silver taels that those traitors traded with Westerners, and there are really a lot of them."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao got off the flagship and came to the top of the big pier, a staff clerk came to report.

"The silver taels have been packed, as have the muskets and artillery, but the hundreds of wagons used to carry the silver taels and the goods, the horses have fled everywhere in fear, and the soldiers are going around to pacify them."

"Also, nearly half of the traitors and some Westerners who escaped have retreated into the newly built big city of Zheng Zhilong nearby, confronting our naval officers, who are preparing for the siege of the city."

"The remaining about 100,000 rebels have fled and are moving away from the Moon Port area as quickly as possible."

"Oh."

Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal, and responded, "Call Zhong Jixiang, and capture the enemy's town as soon as possible, preferably today." ”

"Well, also, let Zhang Guangzhe clean up the sea and area within a hundred miles of Kinmen Island, and immediately lead half of the transport fleet to the north."

"Tell him to go and occupy the Putian Port in Xinghua Prefecture, and then immediately carry out a sweep, construction and defense work."

He is now unfazed by this kind of unchallenging battle, and his mood level has changed qualitatively, and he can be called a qualified emperor.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that with such a huge stall as Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang, no matter what, he would also have an evenly matched battle with his own side.

Unexpectedly, under all kinds of three-and-six, the 180,000 officers and men of his combined fleet easily destroyed almost all the naval forces of the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty in one fell swoop!

This...... It's really not challenging.

If it weren't for the current Combined Fleet, there were too few Leopard cruisers, Zhu Youxiao would have even ordered to start a grand strategy to unify the East Asian seas.

After all, if you want to have an absolute advantage in naval battles with those Westerners, all the battleships that attack must be a series of Leopard cruisers.

Only if you have absolute speed and firepower will you be able to beat all the enemies of this era.

The current Ming Empire seems to have a lot of population, but in fact, for Zhu Youxiao's global strategy, the most tense thing is the population.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao would never let the Royal Navy officers and men use weak warships such as the Great Fortune Ship to fight against those Westerners' fleets.

The senseless sacrifice of the soldiers is absolutely not worth it to themselves.

Today's No. 1 and No. 2 Fu ships can still be majestic in the coastal waters of the Ming Empire, but when they encounter those Westerners' fleets, which are inferior to the enemy in all aspects, they can easily cause great battle damage.

The most important thing is speed, except for the series of battleships of the Leopard cruiser, all other types of ships are no longer suitable for the needs of the Royal Navy.

After this war, all other ships, including the two Daifuku ships, were quickly eliminated by the Royal Navy, and in the future they were only used as armed transport merchant ships in the coastal waters.

Zhu Youxiao walked towards the large field not far away, which was full of all kinds of trophies, and found that this field, which was several acres in size, was full of various large and small wooden boxes.

The most numerous of them are large wooden boxes filled with silver, silk, tea, raw silk and other supplies.

These should be the Southern Ming court, which was used to trade artillery muskets, silver taels and supplies for Galen ships with the Dutch.

In the previous bombing, the soldiers deliberately avoided this area, so there was no property damage.

Zhu Youxiao inquired, and according to the clerk who was leading a team of soldiers to register all the spoils of war, these things were worth at least five million taels of silver.

There was a large pile of wooden boxes of different shapes piled up next to them, which contained Westerner arquebuses and ammunition, as well as some six-pound or so Western artillery guns used by the army.

And now the Westerner warships that have been sunk and captured, two of them are also used for trading.

It's just that now all these things worth tens of millions of taels of silver have become trophies of the Royal Navy.

The hundreds of carriages on the side, those horses have been collected and pacified by the soldiers, and they are purely ancillary trophies.

Now that nearly 10,000 soldiers and a large number of prisoners have been cleaned up, this messy Dayue Port has finally become orderly, and it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

The huge harbor, which had been cleared by the soldiers and a large number of prisoners, was now full of ships of all sorts that had been gathered up, and there was no eye to see at a glance.

It is conceivable how big the loss of the Southern Ming puppet dynasty will be this time.

At the very least, their navy is almost completely finished, and the massive manpower and material resources invested have all been lost, and there is not even a bubble.

"Humph! A few days later, those remnants of the defeated soldiers fled back to Nanjing City, and it is estimated that many people will be so angry that they vomit blood, right? ”

Zhu Youxiao thought of it with some bad taste, and couldn't help but be secretly refreshed in his heart.

Building one's own happiness on the pain of others is the most refreshing thing for Zhu Youxiao.

A great emperor who slowly blackened gradually began to develop.
