"Courage, two rounds of free fire!" Hong Tao can see through this small port city without a telescope, saying that it is a city is elevated, at most it is a town. But the population was quite large, and the dwellings stretched a mile west from the docks, but there were no worthy targets to attack.

The inhabitants of Pasaima had never seen such a terrible thing, and the large ships parked in front of the pier, they were not too afraid, but the sudden smoke from those large boats, accompanied by the sound of thunder, was a little scary. What's even more terrifying is that thunder has also begun to fall on the shore, not only thunder, but also fireballs and debris flying around. The sudden blow overwhelmed most of the people on the shore, even if some people were injured or killed by shrapnel, and some houses were set on fire, they still looked at each other in ignorance, and many people had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to God.

"Ah...... Boom...... "But from the second round ......of shelling, even the stupidest people have understood that this is not God punishing you, but three big ships on the sea are doing something wrong." Although it is not clear how this monster did it, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made them run in unison, running home, running west, and getting as far away from the big ship as possible.

The people on the shore could still run, but the defenders who had just come down to the boat had nowhere to run, saying that they were free to attack, but most of the shells were coming at the two boats that had just left the dock. If you drop anchor in a calm harbor and then shoot, your accuracy will be improved many times. These two small sailing ships with a displacement of several tens of tons were too thin under the blow of solid shells, and almost every time they were hit, an irregular hole or big gap appeared in the hull, and the wood shattered by the huge impact flew in all directions. I don't know who is so immoral that he actually shot an incendiary bomb into the hull. And it actually exploded inside. Fortunately, the hole in the hull became cupping, and the smoke ran from above, and the fire went below, and soon the flames jumped from the hole to the deck. Most of the Javanese soldiers on the ship had not yet figured out what was going on, and their souls had returned to heaven. The rest either wailed helplessly with their crippled bodies, or jumped into the sea while their bodies were still complete.

"Cannons are expensive, cavalry!" Swann had already put on his armor and stood like a dog on the stern as an officer. He knew that the cannons were copper, so he felt that the shells should also be expensive, and suggested that Hong Tao stop the shelling and let the marines and cavalry land.

“…… Silly boy, people are more expensive than cannonballs! Take me, for example. How many shells do you think I'm worth? Hong Tao tapped the armor on Swan's chest and pointed to his nose and asked.

"You're not human...... Swan's Chinese is indeed very disadvantageous.

"Hey, hey, hey...... That's right, Swann was right! Vennan let Swan talk about it, and he was still messing around.

"You'd better get on the dinghy, don't disgust me here." Hong Tao knew that Si Wan didn't mean that, but what to talk about with a person who didn't understand the language, the most hateful thing was people like Wen Nan, and some words didn't mean anything else. But someone happens to be so smiling, it means something else.

Hong Tao never gave the order to land. Instead, let the Jinhe shoot grenades to the shore without a single shot, not that he was idle, but waiting for Javanese reinforcements to come, if any, how many reinforcements will there be? Without seeing the form clearly, he would not risk letting out the only land attack force he had. As the saying goes, there's nothing wrong with being careful. Hong Tao did not wait in vain, about an hour later, the watchman came with a flag, and a crowd appeared on the west side of the port, walking this way.

"Stop shooting. Put on all the flowering bombs, target the dock, and listen to me. After a while, Hong Tao also saw this group of people through the binoculars, and they looked similar to the soldiers he saw in the port of Malacca, with about two or three hundred people, and they had already run to the farthest residential area. These people are estimated to be local reinforcements, as a port connecting Sumatra and Java, it is impossible to have no defenders, and some have to be arranged, and Hong Tao is waiting for them to appear.

The effect of artillery hitting ships Hong Tao has seen, and the effect of artillery hitting buildings Hong Tao has also seen it, and now he plans to see what effect artillery can have on infantry with flowering shells. Hong Tao didn't think that these marines and Mamluk cavalry had any advantage in going ashore to fight street battles, they were not gods, and they would have to blood if they were stabbed with a knife, and they would break their bones and tendons if they were smashed with a hammer. If there is any other way to kill and injure the enemy, you can try it first, there is no need to fight hard.

You call this person, sometimes it's strange, these reinforcements must have inquired with the local people, and they also knew that there might be hurtful things on these four big ships, but they still didn't give up, and had to hold a row of door panels and squeeze into the dock to demonstrate. This is exactly what Hong Tao wanted to see, and the result was that a row of shells that had been aimed for a long time flew over, smashed with explosions, and lay down a large area, and the rest ran back. The planks they were holding not only could not save them, but became accomplices, being hit by high-speed flying shells, scattering wood chips that were no different from shrapnel, and the body was pierced with a bloody hole.

"Lao Wen, this trick is very useful, can you help me write it down, it is one of my tactics. Don't pout, just this trick, I can use it for a few years, do you believe it? And wherever you go, you don't need to change it! "The harbor is relatively sheltered, and more than a dozen guns on one side are fired together, using black powder, which is a disadvantage of insufficient strength, serious residue, and too much smoke. If the wind isn't in the right direction, you won't be able to see anything after a round, and you can only stare at the lookout. At this point, the lookout hand was useless, because there was also smoke on the dock, and he couldn't see anything. Hong Tao was not in a hurry to start the second round of shooting, he planned to add his invention to the end.

"Does the gentleman have a name?" Wen Nan is now completely accustomed to how to get along with Hong Tao, knows how to distinguish which of his words is serious and which is nonsense, and from time to time he can pick up a sentence and tease a couple of sentences together.

"Hmm...... Forget it, it's immoral to take pleasure in killing people, you shouldn't be such a person? Hong Tao originally wanted to tease Wen Nan, but seeing that he was not fooled and didn't tell himself that the saint had been enlightened, then he told him that the reason was on his side anyway, and how to say it was reasonable.

"Near Zhu is red...... As a student, I shouldn't comment on what Mr. is doing. Wen Nan actually dared to turn around and scold.

"But you can choose to learn, right? You have made a clever mistake again, you have to learn a set, otherwise it is better not to learn, and you will have to take it out of context. You see, I'll do it again for you, and they'll have to be fooled! "If a literati in the Southern Song Dynasty became a two-skinned face, it was a very terrifying thing, they had countless allusions in their stomachs, and they could say that they didn't have the same thing for a long time. Compared with them, Hong Tao thought that he was not an opponent, so he immediately changed his strategy and spoke with facts.

"Have mercy, let Swann get on board and start the landing, and then inform the gunners to prepare for the next round of shelling."

There were not many small boats on the battleship, and it was impossible to carry out large-scale landings, but the salmon-class merchant ship specially carried a small boat with a wrench, which was specially used as a landing craft. After seeing the signal flag on the flagship, the merchant ship began to swagger towards the vicinity of the pier, and did not stop until it was less than 200 meters away. Then, like a big bug shaking a small bug, the boat was lowered one by one, and then the cavalry and war horses in armor began to board the ship.

The landing force tossed and turned for more than half an hour on the sea surface more than 100 meters in front of the wharf, and did not pay any attention to the Javanese soldiers hiding behind the houses on the shore, as if they were landing from a large cruise ship for sightseeing.

Such a big movement is not needed at all, and it can be seen with the naked eye. If the infantry landed alone, it might not be able to provoke such a big reaction from the shore, but most of the dinghys were loaded with horses and cavalry, which would be a very deadly danger to the army. Once the cavalry was ashore, the small infantry was of little use, and even though the Javanese were not very good at cavalry combat, they obviously understood this.

Understood, we had to act, so the soldiers who had been beaten back to the residential area by the first round of artillery fire came out again, and returned to the dock to prepare to block the landing cavalry, so as to prevent them from going ashore smoothly. The cavalry on the dinghy are all old fritters, and they know very well what Hong Tao is going to do, so they are very cooperative, and they make a lot of momentum, knocking on armor and weapons, and clanging and clanging, and the soldiers on the shore are also shouting again and again. Neither side wants to be suppressed by the other's morale, and the morale of an army is very important during the period of cold weapon warfare. At this time, they forgot, or did not realize at all, that these cavalry were not really a big threat to them, and the four ships floating on the sea were the worst!

"Hey, hey, hey...... See, I'll call a trick to eat all over the world in the future, ready to ...... Aim and hit! Don't kill our own ship! Fire! "Hong Tao is worthy of being the king of broken mouths, and the next order to open the cannon will also bring a supplementary explanation, that is, these sailors on the ship are all brought up by him, and if you change a few people, you probably don't know what to do with these stinky and long orders issued by him.

"Fire!" Compassion is very accustomed to Hong Tao's style, in a sentence of twenty words, which word is the key point, which word is nonsense, he knows all of them, after filtering out the nonsense, there are only two words left to be useful. (To be continued.) )
