"Liu Zeqing stopped at Huai'an Mansion and didn't move anymore, and didn't continue to march towards Shandong?"

After receiving Li Dingguo's flying chicken message, Zhu Youxiao frowned.

Obviously, as Li Dingguo guessed, it should be Liu Zeqing who received the urgent flying pigeon transmission sent by Zheng Zhilong and others who escaped from the tiger's mouth, and made the decision.

As the governor of Zheng Zhilong's southern town, and he was also a pirate boss, it was not surprising that he had some carrier pigeons.

The Nanzhen soldiers and horses of the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty lost more than half of their soldiers and horses, and the rest were also scattered, and the two major water divisions were all wiped out.

Therefore, when he led the 300,000 Dongzhen army and approached Shandong, he immediately stopped his advance and ordered to rest on the spot, which is understandable.

This was somewhat unexpected.

However, it depends on Liu Zeqing's guy and Xizhen's Huang De function can't bear it.

Because the Third Army of the Yongwei Army launched a major attack on Fengyang Mansion the day before yesterday, and Fengyang Mansion was sandwiched between Huai'an Mansion and Henan.

In this case, the two of them must be in a dilemma: to save or not to save?

rescue, it will inevitably start an immediate war with the army of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

If you don't save it, you will see a huge Fengyang Mansion fall into the hands of the enemy, not to mention, you will be blamed and punished by the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Presumably at this time, the faces of the two of them are very good-looking, right?

Since the Southern Ming Dynasty decided to attack Shandong, the Ming Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties have entered a state of war.

In this way, with Zhu Youxiao's temperament, of course, he must strike first, so it is very necessary to order an attack on Fengyang Mansion and recover the ancestral land of the old Zhu family.

Come to think of it, the time of the beacon fire is coming soon.

Zhu Youxiao sighed secretly, and no longer paid attention to this matter, with Li Dingguo and Sun Chuanting, who were responsible for counterattacking the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was very relieved.

……

It rained lightly for three days, but it finally cleared up this morning.

The sea breeze brought a burst of coolness, and the scorching heat of midsummer seemed to have gone away in the past two or three days.

Twenty Leopard cruisers, which broke the waves, set off quickly towards the destination trench.

The huge warship moving at high speed drew white lines on the sea, like bloodthirsty great white sharks, baring their sharp teeth and pounced viciously on their prey.

Riding the wind and waves, it was not long before the destination appeared in front of the soldiers.

"The battle begins!"

"Two columns of attack formations! Take turns firing guns! ”

As the flags in the herald's hands continued to change, soon, before the enemy could react, the twenty Leopard cruisers had already set up a battle salvo formation.

This latest type of Shenwei General Cannon, with a range of six miles, could easily cover the Portuguese fortress not far from the shore.

Moreover, it is now an isolated enemy garrison, with no reinforcements and no way out.

For these Westerners who were all nostrils in the past and present lives, Zhu Youxiao has no good impression and is not good.

What's more, which of these guys' hands is not stained with the blood of the Han people?

It can be said that every tael of silver they earn is full of the blood and sweat of the Han people!

"All of them are innocent!"

Zhu Youxiao looked coldly at the faintly visible huge castle-like building in front of him, and waved his hand!

"Five rounds of rapid fire! Fire! ”

Seeing this, Zhong Ji, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately ordered the Grand Fleet to open fire.

Anyway, on this trench, except for those Westerners, the soldiers and civilians are traitors licking dogs.

These two types of people are all people who Zhu Youxiao ordered not to care about any accidental injuries, and they can completely launch a bombardment against them unscrupulously.

Therefore, the soldiers who had already received the holy oracle were extremely excited.

In particular, those gunners and sub-gunners began to fire intensively as they controlled the Shenwei cannon, which had been completely upgraded from a quasi-breech-loading rifled gun to a full-fledged breech-fire rapid-fire gun!

The Franco-rapid-fire gun, which was originally capable of firing six shells per minute, has now been raised to eight shells per minute.

The main thing is that this Shenwei general cannon is all fired by a sub-gun, and it is shot out in one shot, without even needing to clear the chamber, just pick up the shell of the sub-gun and continue to stuff it into a gun.

Therefore, even the original Westerner Franc cannon can be regarded as a quasi-breech-loading smoothbore gun, and it is the originator of breech-loading artillery.

Although Kamui General Artillery has to cease fire and cool down for a while after each round of one-minute bombardment, this is already very remarkable. Literature Great

Coupled with the application of the retraction device, the current gunners are starting to shoot, which is extremely happy!

"Boom!"

"Boom!" ……

Countless cannonballs, like raindrops, rained down on all parts of the Portuguese castle building!

In the violent explosion, the stumps and scraps mixed together and threw themselves into the air.

Fire, blood mist, and smoke were rising all over the buildings of the Portuguese in a matter of moments!

Seeing the miserable scene of the Portuguese who were screaming and still in a daze, everyone did not pity the slightest bit, but bombarded the artillery more cheerfully.

Everyone didn't care how miserable the Spaniards in the trenches were, they just kept their heads and took turns bombing indiscriminately.

The soldiers can't care so much, so let's make ourselves cool first.

Half an hour passed, and the earth-shattering sound of the cannon disappeared.

When the smoke cleared, the soldiers looked towards the trench castle in front of them, and found that the buildings were already unrecognizable.

As far as the eye can see, there is not a single intact building left, and there are fireworks and tattered everywhere.

Even the Westerners who used to be seen everywhere are not many people still alive.

There were a lot of wounded, all of them lying on the ground with their faces dirty, screaming all over the place.

What a tragic word for this scene!

Miserable! It's miserable! Very miserable!

"Soldiers of the 5,000 Marine Corps, immediately start landing, and the snipers are in charge of cover!"

Zhong Jixiang, who was very excited, gave the order to land with a red face.

Although it seems that there is no sign of enemy counterattack near the Portuguese buildings, it is necessary to be careful.

In order to prevent the enemy from hiding and shooting cold guns, it is quite necessary to arrange sharpshooters to be responsible for cover.

The Marines, who had been ready for a long time, took the landing clipper and paddled quickly towards the shore, and soon arrived at the shore.

Squads of marines, covering each other, quickly rushed into the enemy's dilapidated lair, and the sound of gunfire and crossbow fire continued to ring.

Most of the killings were done by the soldiers who were helping the Westerners, and whether they were injured or not, they were all sent to the West Heaven to meet God.

Obviously, the survivors of the Westerners have been completely stunned by the sudden artillery fire.

Their sparse resistance had no effect, and after wounding a few Marines, the soldiers were thoroughly enraged.

But anyone who sees these Westerners, no matter who they are, dead or not, is always shot with a shot or an arrow!

The intermittent battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the Westerners on this trench, both military and civilian, were all slaughtered by the soldiers, and completely controlled this geographically located territory.

It turned out that this kind of one-sided battle was not in the slightest challenge for the marines, let alone a surprise operation?

This was also the first battle of annihilation launched by the officers and men of the navy, and the first battle to completely annihilate the enemy.

The main reason is that everyone now has no time to grind with these Westerners.

Rather than accepting some Westerners as prisoners, it is difficult to manage, and a lot of manpower and material resources are wasted, which is very unsuitable for the current situation.

Now the top priority is to seize every bit of time, completely clean up this huge territory, and create four large port cities and supporting large ports.

Lest you be careless, typhoons and storms will come, and without perfect building facilities, you will inevitably be in a hurry, causing huge unnecessary losses.

"Well, that's good."

As soon as the battle was over, Zhu Youxiao stepped off the boat and came to the land that he now named Macao, looked around, and praised it.

Indeed, it is located on the coast of the Pearl River estuary, and its geographical location is a little better than Zhuhai, which is not too far behind it.

Zhuhai, which is behind Macao, has already begun large-scale construction, and it is only necessary to transfer those people over after the construction is basically completed, so that we can vigorously build Macao.

In less than two months, this area centered on Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Macao, and Hong Kong will become the most important base of the Royal Navy of the Ming Empire.

After all, whether it is going south to Manila, west to Hainan Island, or even the Indochina Peninsula, it is a necessary transit point.

Moreover, putting aside those bad weather, the environment and geographical location here are excellent, which is very suitable for the great development of the Ming Empire in the future.

Zhu Youxiao was very interested, and wandered around here for half an hour before he continued to arrange various tasks with satisfaction.

Looking at his smug expression, it must be very refreshing in his heart.
