***************************************************************************

Pereira, the newly appointed Governor of Macau from the Portuguese Crown, was stunned when he received a letter to the citizens of Macau, signed by Yue Xiaofei himself.

He knew very well what the existence of the Shenzhou Free State was, and some time ago they also bought the "Xiaofei Divine Crossbow" from the Ming Dynasty army stationed in Guangdong, and he also expressed his admiration for the designer of this weapon at that time. As for the war with the Qing army and the Dutch in front of Shenzhou City, he had also heard and witnessed it.

He never imagined that such a thing would happen to them today.

They were not as greedy as the Dutch, and since the return of Malacca to the Dutch in 1631, the ships that came here had severed their ties with Lisben, and now came here except for the sea ships of Macao itself, and the rest of them were English ships that came to trade from time to time.

Therefore, Pereira was very wise to maintain a good relationship with the local Nanming officials, and even because of the extensive use of artillery by the Shenzhou army, the business of copper and iron cannon production here became better and better, earning a large amount of silver for Macau. The merchants of Shenzhou City would occasionally sell some novel industrial goods at high prices for those foreign merchant ships to be transported back to Europe and other places.

And now ......, Pereira was afraid, but surrender without resistance was never their choice, at least they still had five strong batteries, and their shooting skills were much higher than those of the Dutch, or they could withstand the attacks of the Shenzhou army.

Thinking of this, Pereira steadied himself and took the telescope up to the tower of his governor's palace, where he could see several forts, or at least he could command effectively. At the same time, they sent their men, often in various batteries, to prepare for battle, provided that they were not allowed to fire the first shot when they were not attacked.

But the streets were already in chaos by this time, and the citizens were shouting and carrying everything they could to flee to the city wall where the Ming army was stationed, at least in their hearts the status of Macau's independence was far less valuable than their own lives.

When the people on the street gradually became scarce, the sudden silence seemed to make the moment seem particularly solemn. Pereira held up the binoculars in his hand and looked out into the ocean.

Now, it was possible to see the opposing warships clearly without lookouts, and the low, sailless battleships, which came from the northeast in a strange three-way column, and their ships were dragging .......

"My God, do these abominable heretics have Satan's help?"

On the outermost line of battleships, some hot air balloons with two spiky cigar-like heads were being raised, and there were hanging railings below, and even here Pereira could see the flashes of the telescope lenses there.

......On the surface of the sea two thousand kilometers away, the sides of the battleships shaped like reefs spewed out clouds of smoke from the firing of cannons, and at the same time, tongues of fire rose above their decks, so many that it seemed that countless bullet marks dragging red wake flew towards the big battery, which seemed to be the primary target they had chosen to attack.

"These ...... Are these the legendary 'ghost cannons'? The shells of the Shenzhou Army are obviously notorious, and on the deck of the opposing warship, some small-caliber cannons are almost continuously discharged, and their voices sound relatively crisp "tom, tom, tom......"

"Oh God!" Pereira was convinced that these self-proclaimed Divine Army must have been helped by the devil, otherwise how could they have those lofty things and these cannonballs that emitted ghostly screams.

In the sky, the red wake shells dragging the extended-range rockets seemed to envelop the earth like a huge net, and at this time, the bronze cannons on the fort of Macao itself roared almost simultaneously, and one solid cannonball after another flew out.

Looking at the puffs of gray-white smoke that erupted from the turret, Pereira felt so much better that he was even convinced that if the shells flew to the strange ships, they would be able to send them all to the bottom of the sea. For he had never heard of what a fleet could take advantage of when faced with a battery.

The 2,325 shells of 100 mm and above covered the entire battery almost instantaneously, and their explosion also detonated the gunpowder stored on the battery.

A huge mixture of black and white smoke mixed with dust rose into the air, and the explosion of the rockets that continued to arrive was as dense as fried beans, and it was almost impossible to tell the number.

Pereira's Doge's Palace was not far from the Matsuyama Battery, and the dust and shrenching sheln that flew everywhere even flew near his Doge's Palace.

Just as the shells of the Huofeng-class cruisers hit the ground, the shells fired at sea from Macao had also reached the vicinity of the cruisers. It was clear that the Portuguese gunners had a fairly good level of shooting, and the fire fired from the artillery forts of the land battle had a natural advantage over the fire from the sea.

And based on the observation of these ships, the Portuguese gunners fired all solid shells, which could reach the maximum range, and secondly, against such ships without sails, and the rest of the shells such as chain shells and shotguns must have been quite ineffective.

At this time, it was also shown that the advantages of the plum blossom array unique to the Shenzhou Navy came to the advantage, due to the problem of contemporary ranging accuracy, the formation of different distances made the Portuguese fire shells mainly aimed at the three cruisers in the front row. After the large cloud of mist, the Shenzhou army also suffered losses.

The rocket launchers above the deck were hit, and the kinetic energy of the spherical shells was really a bit perverted. The launch box of the hit rocket artillery was almost completely destroyed, fortunately this time it was a salvo, and the observer was not in his own place.

It was the gunners of the 60mm raindrop guns that were deployed above the deck who suffered the most damage, and although the front of the guns also had armor plates, they were a little more powerless against these solid shells with considerable kinetic energy. A 60-mm raindrop cannon was directly destroyed, three gunners were killed, two were killed, and one was seriously wounded.

However, the armor of the cruiser itself was strong enough, and the spherical kinetic shells were obviously helpless against this kind of armor, which was strong and became quite flexible by the pull of countless wires. Although the outermost layer of modular armor needed to be replaced, such spherical shells proved to be difficult to cause serious damage to the cruiser itself.

The observation posts on the balloons, apparently undisturbed by the mist rising from the sea below, quickly reported their bearings by light signals, and the gunners of the guns fired a second salvo according to the orders given by the observers in the "microphones". This time, the target was the main artillery battery behind the Matsuyama Battery.
