Yang Changfan and Xu Wenchang stood up, waved their hands at Debraganza's fleet a few times, and sat down to play chess again.

Yang Changfan said coldly: "Wen Chang." ”

"Huh?"

"I'm scared."

“……”

Yang Changfan swallowed and spat: "Actually, we can't be sure of their range, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"So if their range is more than 200 zhang, we may die at this distance, right?"

"That's right."

“……”

"But how can there be 200 zhang? The Furlong cannons are no better than ours. At this time, Xu Wenchang had to be appeased:

Yang Changfan is still entangled: "As long as the process is enough, one shot can be fired from Nanjing to Suzhou." ”

"Then they could have opened fire a long time ago." Xu Wenchang fell again, "I won again." ”

"Okay." Yang Changfan no longer paid attention to the chessboard, and turned to look at the steadily advancing fleet, "Wen Chang, you and I have been making cannons and selling cannons for a long time, and the cannon is divided into effective range and maximum range, in our understanding, the effective range may not exceed 100 zhang, because there will be no accuracy beyond this distance, but the maximum range must be more than this far." When we tried the gun, we had a good angle and hit a thousand feet away, but we couldn't control the landing point at all. If the other party is desperate to bombard us, it will not be good if it happens to hit us. ”

"Understand, the owner of the ship is actually very afraid of death."

"Of course."

"Then let them come, we weren't originally empty." Xu Wenchang smiled and got up, "Okay, let's go and avoid it." ”

"Hmm." Yang Changfan turned to look at Neha, "Lady first." ”

At this point, the three of them seemed to calmly escape from the high platform.

Playing a play on the high platform, no matter how Franc chooses, there are back-up moves here.

At the bow of the Manuel, seeing Yang Changfan taking refuge, the adjutant immediately asked for orders: "Commander! Please give the order to shell the port! ”

Debraganza didn't do it immediately, but turned to Shajialu behind him: "You are the only person who has dealt with Yang Changfan, do you think they have any plans?" ”

"I can't guess what the plan is. All I know is that he won't sit still, at least, and won't wait until that time if he's sure he's going to escape. "Besides, Lord Doge, where has their fleet gone?" ”

Indeed, the biggest suspicion of this battle has not yet been raised.

In the port of Ambon, there is not a single boat, not even a fishing boat.

In a normal port bombing operation, the first thing to strike is the enemy's mobile forces, and the fleet hiding in the harbor is sunk first, and then consider attacking the battery for defense. But in front of him, the Huiwangfu fleet obviously did not give itself a chance to besiege and had already left.

Looking around, there was not the slightest shadow of a ship.

This is again a huge difference between naval warfare and land warfare, land warfare can have countless ambushes and flanking attacks, but the sea is flat and there is nowhere to hide, therefore, the Huiwangfu fleet must be in a very distant place.

Debraganza's heart suddenly tightened.

Did they really go to Malacca?

"Shagaru, was their main fleet here when you came here before?"

"I have counted sixty of them, no less than one."

"Well...... "Debraganza finally decided, "let the first group of battleships tentatively approach the firing of their guns, and the whole army will be on standby." ”

He already judged in his heart that if the Huiwangfu fleet abandoned Ambon and took Malacca, it would have been set off for three days at most, and it would be impossible to catch up with it, so it was better to take Ambon first and then come back to the rescue.

Yang Changfan got off the high platform, and did not come to the fortress in front of the port, but entered the city with Xu Wenchang, and stood on the top floor of the governor's palace, looking at the Portuguese battle method from afar. At this time, the main force of the Portuguese fleet entered a state of slow detour, sending five groups of battleships to penetrate alone, lining up about 300 yards outside the harbor, and firing a salvo at the harbor.

This must have been outside the effective range, the shells fell inaccurately, most of them landed in the sea, and the defensive fortresses were unscathed.

Yang Changfan and Xu Wenchang had already arranged all the tactics properly, and at this time, they were purely watching and learning.

"Their guns may really be inferior to ours." Yang Changfan squinted his eyes and said, "In this way, they can't even afford to use the Hongyi cannons that were sold to us. ”

"In their eyes, using Hongyi cannons is probably a waste of resources."

After three rounds of such shelling, there was almost no loss in the port of Anwen, and the five warships came closer, and before they could line up the array, the port side had already taken the lead in firing their guns, and thirty guns were fired in unison, and the landing point was already very close to the Portuguese fleet, but it was still a pity that it fell into the sea.

After seeing this situation clearly, the five warships on the front did not approach rashly, and the main fleet in the rear finally dispatched all ships and approached Anwen Port. It seems that they have determined what Shagaru has seen, and the thirty defensive guns they have left behind are all the fire defense at the moment.

The Portuguese fleet was equipped with at least a thousand guns, and in addition to the bow guns and one-sided guns, there were more than 600 guns that could be aimed at the same target in a salvo.

"Look." Yang Changfan pointed to the opponent's fleet from a distance, "The semi-circular deployment array is very in place, and their ship handling skills, command level, and distance judgment are all above us." ”

"As you say, it's a tradition that has been cultivated for thousands of years." Xu Wenchang sighed, "Most of our sergeants don't even know how far our artillery can hit, if they really line up at sea, I'm afraid they can only be pressed and beaten." ”

"We need to train more troops in the future, but the enemy can't be too strong, find a dozen Acehnese or Malays?"

"It is not advisable to make enemies."

"Then what should I do, I can't go to the Fujian sailor to fight, right?"

"I already have a candidate for military training, it just depends on whether he is worthy of harmony or not." Xu Wenchang suddenly got up and pointed out of the port, "It's going to start, look at their salvo." ”

Yang Changfan also got up.

In the process of the opponent's formation, the port has already tried two rounds of launches, with little success, and it is impossible to guarantee accuracy at this extreme distance. Relative to the vast expanse of the sea, the targets of these warships were inevitably too small.

For the Portuguese warships, the fortress of the harbor was a fixed target, although it was also a limit distance, but they had hundreds of cannons, and there was always something that could form an effective strike.

More than 60 warships and hundreds of guns were fired in a few breaths, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

In an instant, the harbor fortress was devastated, and billowing smoke rose into the air.

After that, the deafening inconsistency came belatedly. (To be continued.) )
