So at 2:27 p.m., the landing force destroyed all the turrets hidden near the port. The Ming warship www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion also immediately puffed out thick black smoke and approached the mooring point in the port.

A large number of landing troops dressed in dark green uniforms also marched majestically and confidently toward the Pontianak city as soon as the warships docked, carrying muskets.

Looking back at the time, it was nine o'clock in the morning and arrived off the coast of Pontianak. At 10:18, we arrived at the port of Pontianak. At 10:47, the first shell was fired!

It also officially kicked off, the prelude to the bombardment of Pontianak.

Now to the large-scale landing, the battle lasted only more than three hours. Among them, the landing detachment completed the set combat mission in just over two hours.

Da Ming's elite line obviously paid off as expected.

It's just that the price paid is not small!

According to rough statistics, the landing detachment suffered at least 200 casualties.

That's basically half of the total!

Even those who survived, most of them suffered minor injuries of varying severity.

This is mainly due to the fact that there are too many shells falling from the sky in the process of landing on the shore. The sea is not as flexible as the shore, and it can be dodged at will. The landing detachment became the best live target, and was killed and wounded by a dense array of shells.

Later landing operations, destroying turrets. On the contrary, due to the superiority of firearms, the casualties were small.

However, such a result is also within Zhang Xiao's psychological tolerance. After all, it is impossible to fight a war without bloodshed and without death. To win, there is a price to pay.

And on the battlefield, it is human lives that are paid!

But the temperatureless, cold and cold data still makes people's hearts feel a little heavy unconsciously.

It's just that at the moment, the war is still going on. Zhang Xiao put away his heavy heart and paid close attention to the landing force that was gradually moving away.

But at this time, a group of Lanfang officials holding white flags suddenly came through the landing force. Zhang Xiao immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at them carefully for a while. When I saw my acquaintance, a chuckle appeared on my face.

On the shore, Sun Rufu's mood became heavier and heavier.

Because along the way, they were all defeated troops and people who fled north in a hurry. All of them panicked, obviously the battle situation is worrying. And the closer you get to the sea, the stronger the smell of gunsmoke. It also means that it is one point closer to the battlefield.

The streets were filled with smoke and dust, and all kinds of debris were scattered all over the ground. The houses on the side of the road were also badly damaged. Some shattered windows, some collapsed beams, and some houses collapsed completely.

Only some new concrete houses built with expensive Daming cement and steel were safe and sound under the violent vibration. There were no cracks in the whitewashed walls.

Fortunately, most of the houses in Pontianak City are made of wood. Even if it falls, it is not easy to stone people to death. And since Pontianak City experienced forced immigration by the Ming Dynasty, it has never returned to the population of its heyday.

Later, the Ming Dynasty leased the mountain pass ocean in the north, which attracted a large number of people to come over.

This is because, according to the immigration policy of the Ming Dynasty, immigrants living in the Daming Lease Area can be equivalent to living in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The various nationality assessments are also basically the same as those in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, many Lanfang people who want to immigrate to Daming, but are reluctant to have a little family business in Lanfang, go to Shankouyang to settle down.

At present, these people who fled north are all running to the mountain pass. After all, tiger poison does not eat children, no matter where the Ming Dynasty hits, it is impossible to hit the leased Yamaguchi Yang.

It is foreseeable that as the Ming artillery bombards Pontianak and the news of the attack on Lanfang spreads, the population of Yamaguchi Yang will develop in a blowout.

However, this is all a later story, the current Ming bombardment of Pontianak, due to the above factors, will minimize the casualties of innocent civilians. It is also the target of the Ming Dynasty, not civilians, but turrets. Otherwise, Pontianak City would have been ruined long ago.

However, there are still some civilians who died as a result of accidental bombing. They generally live near turrets, and naturally the rate of accidental bombing is much higher than in other places.

For this result, Daming can only express regret. Because guns have no eyes, many times, people simply can't control them.

Therefore, the civilians who were bombed by mistake can only consider themselves unlucky.

And at this moment, looking at the familiar Pontianak City, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the war is rekindled. Sun Rufu was still bitter in his heart.

You know, he came with a white stripe. Along with them were representatives of the Pontianak family and officials. The reason why I braved the artillery fire and came here with courage was to talk to Daming.

Although he knew in his heart that Da Ming would not give up if he didn't bite a piece of meat off Lan Fang's body. But he still held a meager hope, thinking that Da Ming could spare Lan Fang.

And he also has to figure out, why did Da Ming suddenly bombard Lan Fang? So much so that before, I didn't reveal a little rumor. Inexplicably, not figuring it out, is always a knot in the heart.

It's just that Liu Weiguo, who he saw before, didn't have time to negotiate with him because he commanded land battles. Let people lead them to the boat to discuss with Zhang Xiao.

When they arrived at the dock, there was still a corpse scattered on the ground. There are Lanfang's, and there are Ming's. But looking around, Lanfang is the majority. All of them have their eyes open, and they rarely bare at them.

Some of the severed limbs were scattered all over the ground. Sun Rufu and the people accompanying him couldn't help but churn in their stomachs when they looked at it. It wasn't until I vomited up everything in my stomach that I felt better.

Looking more closely, he found that many Lanfang soldiers even took their guns backwards when they died. And the Ming soldiers held the muskets firmly until they died.

The gap between Lan Fang and Daming can be seen from this.

Such a scene made Sun Rufu too lazy to look at it.

Under the guidance of an officer, he stepped on the suspension ladder connecting the warship.

When he got on the bow of the ship and observed the steel giant ship like a wild beast up close, he was even more shocked. The scenes in my memory also came flooding back.

I still remember the first time I boarded the Ming warship, also for negotiations.

It's just that at that time, the warship was less than one-tenth the size of the current one, and the guns equipped on it were not so powerful. But the gushing black smoke and the reflective iron sheet still made him feel the pressure like a mountain.

And now, the Ming warships are getting bigger and bigger, thicker and thicker, and more advanced. Kelan Fangguo, from the end of the First Minglan War, still used wooden sailing boats. The sailors who were finally formed were useless, and even pirates could not be exterminated.

Compared with Da Ming, it is simply a day and a place.

Thinking of Lan Fangguo's shortcomings, the worries in his heart deepened. He took a deep breath and suppressed the disturbances in his mind. Raise your head again and focus your gaze on the man standing in the sun.

"City Lord Sun, we're meeting again!" , Zhang Xiao smiled lightly and greeted in a friendly tone. In recent years, due to the development of bilateral trade between Daming and Lanfangguo, Zhang Xiao often led the South China Sea Fleet to swim near Lanfangguo to maintain the safety of navigation.
