Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Minghe (2)
Boom, boom...
The sound of artillery continued, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and huge waves four or five meters high rolled in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the sea surface of Dili Port, the artillery fire of Daming was even more fierce than before.
Like those two thousand-ton giant ships, due to their large size, they were also widely attacked. So when Daming's artillery fire was aimed at them, it didn't take more than thirty minutes for them to go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
According to Dili City, a kilometer away, a battle has entered a white-hot stage.
At this time, in a Chinese restaurant built of cement, Van Nisfaart, the mayor of the Dutch Timor district, was standing in front of the broken wall, watching the battle from a distance of 100 meters.
I have to admit that the architectural level of the Chinese has caught up with the West. Cement like this is a rarity in Timor. Except for the Chinese, who could pay a lot of money from Daming in the south, others couldn't even buy it.
Of course, there is no doubt about the solidity of cement. Like this house, it took several shells, and only a few holes were broken. If it were an ordinary civil engineering house, it would have collapsed into ruins a long time ago.
Just as he was thinking about this, several thunderous rumbles suddenly exploded.
"Where's the sound of the cannon?" , Van Nisfaart immediately asked with a calm face. In his sight, the Portuguese Doge's Palace did not open fire. So what is this cannon sound?
By this moment, he had heard the source of the cannonade. Hurriedly ran out of the hole and looked at the dock.
Then I saw that there was an overwhelming fire, and there was a deafening cannon sound. Bursts of smoke blew down the sea breeze to the shore, stabbing people's throats and itching uncontrollably.
At this moment, several Dutch sailors came running from the dock.
Van Nisfat immediately stopped them and asked why.
At first, the Dutch sailors tried to drink and curse, blaming Van Nicefaldt for disturbing their escape. But after recognizing their identities, they immediately stammered patiently and said, "Yes--it's Da Ming!" ”,
The other sailors nodded their heads in unison, their faces still filled with fear and panic.
"Da Ming?!" Van Nisfaert's volume suddenly increased several times, and like the others, it was a little unbelievable.
Didn't you say that the Ming and Britain declared war? How can you bombard the island of Timor? And before that, why didn't he hear the wind at all?
So he asked, in a tone of astonishment, "Can you see clearly?" It's Da Ming? ”。
When the Dutch sailors heard this, they immediately nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice. And replied urgently: "It's really Da Ming!" Twenty or thirty warships came! The five-star red flag is fluttering on the bow of every ship! ”。
"It seems to be the home fleet of the Ming Dynasty! The artillery fire was so sharp that our ship was almost sunk. ”。 Another Dutch sailor added.
Hearing this, Fannifaart's face turned pale and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.
is so close to Daming, he still knows a little about Daming's home fleet. It is said that there is an all-steel ship named Zhu Yuanzhang. There are also twelve ships of modification, all with a draft of between seven hundred and a thousand tons. After that, there were nine more ordinary ships, which were bought from him and the Portuguese governor.
At that time, in order to make some extra money, he sold three old ships. And the Portuguese side, in order to show friendship, sold two more ships than them.
With Daming's shipbuilding ability, he believes it without question. Even if the ship is broken, it can become a treasure in their hands.
Attacking his fleet with such a force, or unprepared, the result is already obvious.
Perhaps to confirm his suspicions, a cannonball burst into the dock. It was just blown up 100 meters away.
In an instant, everyone was shaken. A few Dutch sailors got closer, and were pierced by shrapnel and became a humanoid hedgehog!
Van Nisfaert, on the other hand, was quick to grab a sailor as a wall of flesh at a critical moment. So I was only sprayed with blood.
Pushing away the corpse and body pressed on his body, he plucked out his ears. It took a long time to regain my hearing. Some of the living guards immediately surrounded him to prevent accidents.
"Put an end to their suffering!" Listening to the screams on the ground, Van Nisfar said with a gloomy face. The guards immediately raised their muskets, and with a few thuds, all that was left on the ground was the gradually cold corpses.
Now that the sea has completely lost ground, the only thing he can do is to rely on the land to hold on!
At this time, a group of guards suddenly ran to inform him that the Portuguese Doge's Palace had been conquered by the natives.
If it had been before, he must have been so happy that he couldn't stop talking. But now, he is extremely anxious. Because he also wanted to unite with the Portuguese to deal with the Ming Dynasty. If the Portuguese are all dead and gone, how can they unite? Is it by the natives? He secretly dismissed the idea.
Apart from numbers, the natives have little advantage. He's just using the natives now. When the work is done, they will still be forced to go back and forth with guns.
So he commanded aloud: "Enter the Doge's palace at once and protect the Portuguese." If the natives kept commanding, you know what to do, right? ”。
The guards were immediately overwhelmed.
Didn't you shout earlier that you wanted the Portuguese to die and light? Why protect them now?
Seeing that the guards were still hesitating, Vanisfar was like an angry lion, and shouted angrily: "Don't you understand? Protect the Portuguese at once. ”。
Seeing that he was furious, the guards immediately rushed to the governor's palace. Hopefully, under the butcher's knife of the natives, the Portuguese will not die so quickly.
It's just that the indigenous people of Timor Island are still martial and extremely brave and ruthless!
It's not easy to restrain in normal times, but now that it's killing, killing, and crazy, it's probably even more difficult to restrain it.
Knowing this, Vanisfar told the guards to hurry to the Doge's Palace. Before the Portuguese are dead, save more.
And at the same time, on the water of the port of Dili.
The naval battle is over, and the sound of artillery has stopped. In addition to the sporadic gunshots, the mournful wails, and the stirring splashes, there was only the Ming warship that cleaned up the water.
After two hours, the water finally cleared a straight. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sailed into the dock.
When the two seven-hundred-ton warships came into Zhang Xiao's line of sight, he couldn't help but smile.
These two battleships were unlucky, and when the Ming Dynasty first fired a salvo of random artillery, the mast was blown off, so they lost their ability to move.
Therefore, it has been kept until now.
As long as it is slightly repaired, it can replenish the home fleet of the Ming Dynasty.
With a squeak, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped steadily at the dock. Zhang Xiao turned his face away, looked at Liu Weiguo, who had just finished vomiting, and laughed: "Are you okay?" This land battle is handed over to you, why am I always uneasy? ”。
When he said this, he deliberately imitated Liu Weiguo's tone in front of the cabinet and deliberately ridiculed him.
When Liu Weiguo heard this, his face immediately turned straight, and he sneered at each other: "Xiao Xiaozi! These two brigades, Suzaku and Xuanwu, were separated from my army. Don't think that if you are the boss for a few days, they will recognize you! ”。
This was a good remark, so that Zhang Xiao was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Liu Weiguo changed his tone and said with a bad smile: "Is it okay or not!" Don't you have to try it to find out? ”。
As he spoke, he slapped Zhang Xiao's pi stock with one palm and made a teasing look. It seems to mean something.
As a man, Zhang Xiao immediately understood what he meant. Repeatedly: "Don't don't, don't! Lao Tzu's 'gun' is not a stirring stick! ”。 As he spoke, he covered his chest and mouth and made a vomiting appearance. didn't even want to look at Liu Weiguo more, so he flew away and ran away.
At this time, Liu Weiguo changed his expression, and looked at Dili City with a serious face.
