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

The detachment of three cruisers lined up in a plum formation was getting closer and closer to Macao, and under the observation of the telescopes of large magnification, the enemy batteries on the shore that had been built in the artillery forts on the high ground were vividly visible. With the construction of the Fortress, the A-Ma Battery, the Garth Gun Battery, the Bishop's Hill, the Ash Furnace Battery, and the Pine Hill Battery, Macao had a solid perimeter line, and at least two batteries could fire at the same time in each direction.

A well-defended fort made of sizable stones and made of earth, straw, lime and oyster shells. Except for the top layer, the rest of the bronze cannons were installed inside the forts, and the small firing ports protected them from the fire fired by the ships at sea.

Obviously, they still didn't notice the cruiser fleet under the leadership of Huang Kehui that had quietly approached at the moment.

The fire-phoenix-class cruiser barely emits much exhaust gases, and the battleship without sails and the peculiar shape of the ship make the fire-phoenix-class spotter quite close. Even an experienced lookout would even think that these warships were some reefs.

Huang Kehui, who was stuffed inside the ship, stared at the five forts on the sea that had been built by the sea in Macao, which were floated out in red circles on the map. Next to him was Captain Holliman, a teacher at the Shenzhou Military Naval Academy, and Sun Mingyang, the unlucky bastard, was a little lower in the exam, so he had to be the commander of a cruiser's detachment.

Holliman stood beside Huang Kehui and looked satisfied, and what surprised him was that the Shenzhou Army and Navy had a considerable amount of military salaries, even half of it was enough to make him feel surprised. And his paper made him gain quite a few points, and a rich life seemed to be just around the corner.

Of course, these are secondary, the important thing is that the bonuses of the Shenzhou Army come from the value of the trophies they have obtained, and only after compensating for the losses and consumption of the troops, a considerable part of the remaining will be distributed according to the rank and level that will be implemented, just imagine the wealth obtained in this way.

So Holliman, who became the deputy commander of the fleet, was about to go crazy if he wanted to fight, and it didn't matter who he was fighting and when, the most important thing was to try to win the war, and it had to be of great value. Macau, on the other hand, was nothing in his Holliman's eyes, just a pile of glittering Chinese dollar bills and coins.

It is certain that even if this will meet the Dutch, whether it is a merchant ship or a colony, he Holliman will not hesitate to kill it, and then snatch the property by the way, and announce that the ship will become the inherent property of the Free State of China, and these things, especially land, will produce huge profits.

"No matter who it is, you can't delay yourself from getting rich!"

"Their brass cannons shoot at a distance of about 2,800 meters, which is not as good as our darts at a maximum distance, and the only advantage is that they are on high ground and their positions are more solid. And our artillery can cover their entire city, and if I were the governor here, I would have surrendered if I knew what I was up against! ”

Like all the soldiers of the Shenzhou Army, his shaggy beard was shaved at the moment, showing a bit of funny. However, he still habitually clasped his arms to his chest and touched his bare chin with one hand.

Huang Kehui still had a lot of respect for this former teacher, and he nodded and said, "So I plan to enter from the side and get close to cover the enemy with a salvo of large-caliber guns, and concentrate on attacking one of the batteries." At the same time, the warship on the outside of the warship released balloons to correct the impact point. Then it was a matter of destroying the enemy batteries one by one until they forced them to surrender. ”

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the outer side of the fleet, and said, "I don't know how to do this, he is not satisfied?" ”

In Huang Kehui's mouth, he was referring to Yue Xiaofei, who came with the fleet. His "Mingyue" was on the outside of the fleet, and there was not only an observer group composed of parliamentarians, businessmen, celebrities, and journalists from Wenzhou City, but also some officers of the Second Marine Division, who were not as worried about the battle of Macao as Yue Xiaofei.

According to the information revealed by the military, a small Macao actually has nearly 800 large and small artillery pieces, although the Huofeng-class cruiser that has just been produced is majestic, but such a confrontation ...... Almost all the people in the folk sweated

The purpose of Yue Xiaofei's trip was to observe the situation of the cruiser fleet attacking the enemy's well-defended fortresses, and if they could not effectively deal with the artillery forts of Macao, let alone the more solid artillery batteries built against the other colonies developed earlier in Europe, it would indicate that the development of battleships was the fundamental way to win.

In addition, he still has some covet those gunsmiths in Macao, these craftsmen can be said to be quite famous in the East and even in the Western world in addition to the Chinese Mingyue Bay, and they must have extremely old experience worthy of learning from the Shenzhou Free State.

Eventually, Macau, and Hong Kong, which will soon be given to him, will become an important gateway for shipbuilding, ports, and arms dumping against various local powers in the interior of the country.

At present, the Mingyue passenger ship no longer has complicated sail lines, the two floors above the deck have been raised to four floors, two 150-horsepower steam engines and a huge modular pulverized coal tank make it capable of sailing from the "China Mingyue Bay" to Fusang at a speed of 12 knots, and the modular pulverized coal silo will inevitably make its replenishment speed quite fast.

Due to the unsafe situation of sea navigation, eight 1648 raindrop 60mm guns and the same number of "repeating ballistas" were installed in the four directions of the Bright Moon, forming a fierce and complete close fire defense circle. So it's safe to take a passenger ship like this, at least no privateers or pirate ships can easily catch up with it.

Now the "Mingyue", the first ship of the "Mingyue class", has officially become the car of the protector of the Shenzhou Free State, and as long as it is not a war in the future, then it is the only choice for Yue Xiaofei to visit.

Such a regulation dealt with the fact that Yue Xiaofei was completely cut off from using a Huofeng-class cruiser to convert it into his car, after all, it was a move that everyone thought was unwise.

Looking at the figure of the heavy Fire Phoenix-class cruiser, Yue Xiaofei had to look at the ocean and sigh, although the comfort and safety of the Mingyue were quite good, but watching others fight was not very cool after all! But Yue Xiaofei, who was firmly watched by several ladies, had no choice but to look at the ocean and sigh.

At this time, large delta-wing kites carrying warning leaflets were released from the cruiser's "Barracuda-class" dinghy and flew towards Macao, where they would drop leaflets to warn the Macao people to flee under the walls of the Ming army, where they were given a safe zone against shelling.

The duel of the cannons is about to begin.
