Looking up at this scene, Fernand and the Spanish governor were stunned, as nobles of their respective countries, not to mention their knowledge, just by glancing, they immediately recognized the east and west on their heads. Although the two were not together www.biquge.info they exclaimed at the same time: "Airship! ”

In the cognition of the two, the airship is the entertainment tool of the aristocratic class, and experience the feeling of flying, just like a hot air balloon.

At this moment, under such circumstances, even the most stupid person knows that the nobles in the airship are by no means playing, but only enemies!

In the blink of an eye, the two couldn't help but be horrified to find that China was too terrifying, terrifying and terrifying, when Western countries were still using airships as a luxury entertainment tool, this ancient country used it in war, completely subverting their perception of war.

For thousands of years, wars have taken place either on land or in the sea, and there has never been an air battle. Thinking of this, the first reaction of the two was to leave here quickly, how much loss was no longer the key to this Eastern Colonial War, but to transmit this news back to the West, back to their own country, this Eastern Dragon of the mysterious country has risen, once it becomes strong, no one in the world can be invincible, and all countries will tremble!

Almost unanimously agreed, the two quickly issued a series of orders: "Quick, the warships behind hurry up to snipe the navy of the Great Guang Dynasty to win time for the command ship to escape, do you hear?" Those who do not obey the order, even if they return alive, will be shot! ”

Fernand and Spain continued to roar, their voices hoarse. However, in the fierce rumbling artillery fire, their voices were so small, they seemed so weak, like a drop of water thrown into the sea, the ancient waves were silent, and they did not play a role.

The Spanish and Portuguese command ships fled, one to the south and the other to the east, blending in with the other ships that were already in disarray. Fernand and the Spanish governor looked at each other from afar as they thought they were fleeing.

I saw that the airships were like hens that kept laying eggs, and their bellies fell one round object after another, as soon as they fell into their own warship, it was suddenly an explosion of fire. With the constant influx of shells, the soldiers who did not flee were either killed, surrendered, and captured.

Looking at this scene, Fernand was like a defeated rooster, defeated not only by his achievements, but also by his will, and sighed again and again: "It's over, it's over, it's all over, there is no more combined fleet of Spain and Portugal in the world." ”

Immediately, swept away the sluggish mood, Fernand anxiously urged: "Hurry up, hurry up and leave the southeast sea of China, and don't go to Luzon Island, go directly to the Strait of Malacca, and look for the British Royal Navy asylum!" ”

At this time, Fernand had no distractions, and just wanted to leave quickly, return to Portugal, report the airship, and no longer have the heart of revenge.

In the southern waters of Macao Island, the roaring explosions continued, and Shi Mingzhi's warship began to fire with full firepower, accelerating with all its might, approaching the battlefield. There are also airship troops in the sky, constantly dropping bombs and bombing the coalition warships below,

On this battlefield, it is completely shrouded in thick white gunsmoke, even if the sea breeze is howling, it can't change this situation, so it can be seen how far the battle has been?

Obviously, the 1st Division did not pay attention to the fleeing coalition warships, but kept closing in on the stranded enemy troops. As the battle progressed, the remaining enemy firepower became weaker and weaker, and there was basically no decent artillery fire to return fire.

At this time, on the command ship of the first division, Shi Mingzhi had a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at this scene, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then ordered without looking back: "Feng Zicai, give the order to go down, stop all shelling, patrol boats and assault boats follow me, exterminate the remaining Western devils, if there are still those who dare to resist, if there are any bad moves, shoot them immediately!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Feng Zicai shouted excitedly, he learned a lot in this battle, especially the tacit cooperation between the warship and the airship, the fierce artillery bombardment to the enemy, the impact on him was too shocking, extremely impactful, far beyond the airship combat he had seen before.

As if he didn't feel Feng Zicai's emotional waves, Shi Mingzhi continued: "Also, notify the airship troops, let their airships lower the altitude, and provide air support, once there are Western devils who are crazy and refuse to accept surrender, they will strafe from the air to win fighters and cover for the soldiers of patrol boats and assault boats." ”

Feng Zicai comprehended, and that scene immediately appeared in his mind, the soldiers of the airship unit stood suspended in the air, suspended by wire, holding the charge in their hands, pointing downward, relying on the advantage of position, to obtain air supremacy, even if there were Western devils making trouble, they would be killed in an instant.

"Yes, Commander, I'm going to put out the signal lights!"

These thoughts flashed in his mind, and as soon as Shi Mingzhi's words fell, Feng Zi agreed and walked away.

After finishing speaking, Shi Mingzhi didn't pay attention to Feng Zicai, but looked at the east and south respectively, and said to himself: "General Fernand, how can old friends leave in such a hurry when they meet again?" Don't worry, you won't be able to escape. ”

The sound of artillery became weaker and weaker, and the waters in the southern part of Macao Island gradually returned to calm, and one after another assault boats and patrol boats loaded with soldiers rushed away, swarming up, and plunging headlong into the thick white smoke of gunpowder, and there was no clashing gunfire.

At the same time, one airship after another began to descend, and after maintaining a safe altitude, holes began to appear in the abdomen, and a airship soldier appeared, descending rapidly, suspended there, holding guns in both hands, eyes like falcons, looking down, waiting, waiting for the smoke to dissipate, showing the figure of the enemy.

Soon, there was no continuous and heavy bombardment, under the action of the howling sea wind, the gunpowder smoke dispersed, and the warships of the coalition forces immediately showed their true faces, the flames were swirling, emitting black smoke, the masts were blown up horizontally and vertically, and they were everywhere, and the sails had long since turned to ashes, and they were bare, and even the majestic cannons were scattered everywhere, not to mention the corpses of people?

As the smoke faded, the assault boats and patrol boats of the 1st Division could be seen docked next to some large warships, and there were even ropes hooked and hung on the edge of the hull, and soldiers were climbing. Under the cover of thick smoke, some soldiers captured most of the ships without danger.

Da Da Da Da ....

Bang bang bang....

It was inevitable that there would still be the sound of guns, and from the moment they received this mission, the Thunder soldiers did not have the illusion that these foreign pirates could strangely accept capture.

All the actions are carried out in an orderly plan, the movements are skillful and neat, with tacit understanding and heart, as if everything is natural, it is so natural, as if even God is helping the soldiers of the first division, towards them, the action will be so smooth.

However, all this is not a kind of luck, but the Thunder Navy has been tempered thousands of times and has countless trainings, so that there will be such achievements today, the movements will be so skillful and neat, and the mutual understanding will be so tacit.

In less than half an hour, the 1st Division had already taken control of all the remaining warships, captured all the surviving soldiers of the Combined Fleet, and all of them were locked under the cabin, guarded by special personnel, loaded with live ammunition, and once there was any abnormal behavior, it would definitely bring the most iron-blooded strafing.

The wind was blowing, the waves were rolling, and corpses sank into the sea, only the corpses of the Thunder Soldiers were brought back.

When the Spanish and Portuguese warships were about to be driven away, they came to the Hong Kong Island Naval Base, and suddenly, in the northeast, east, southeast, and due south, there was a burst of long-range artillery fire, and fierce gunfire.

At this moment, Shi Mingzhi stood on the deck leisurely, just glanced at the direction of the gunfire, and then muttered very confidently: "Finally shot, it seems that Fernand and the Spanish governor are in danger." ”

Immediately, Shi Mingzhi turned his head to look at Feng Zicai and ordered: "All the prisoners of war will be escorted to Guangzhou Mansion and handed over to Li Dexing and Li Zhifu, which will be of great use to him, and the imperial court will have a lot of financial revenue." ”

"Yes, Commander!"

Feng Zicai comprehended it and immediately understood the extraneous sound, with this batch of captives, he could deter those foreign merchants stranded in Guangzhou, and they did not dare to disobey the regulations of the Great Guang Dynasty? In particular, the merchants' money will be received soon.

Feng Zicai did not leave immediately, because he knew that the division commander had follow-up orders, and as he thought in his heart, Shi Mingzhi's order came again.

"Also, all the captured warships, after the transit of the Hong Kong station, are all sent to the Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai, even if these warships can no longer be used for military purposes, repairs, and can also be used for civilian, cargo transportation and the like, there should be no problem."

"Okay, Commander."

Immediately, Feng Zicai left, not admiring Shi Mingzhi in his heart, but muttered to himself: "The emperor is worthy of being a businessman, he is really shrewd to the extreme, he will not let go of anything easily, and turn waste into treasure." The foreigner's guns are returned to the furnace, and it is a batch of copper and iron raw materials; The captives were escorted to the mines, and the mining and coal mining would definitely save a sum of silver; And this captured warship, after being repaired, sold to domestic merchants, is another big profit......"

After a big war, especially a naval battle, the Great Guangzhou Dynasty is definitely sure to make money and not lose money, it is simply fighting to feed the war. This is also the reason why, when the army is downsizing, the strength of the Thunder is increasing instead of decreasing.

Not only is there an urgent need for a large and surprisingly effective navy as maritime trade becomes more frequent. It is also because, compared to the battle of the army, the navy brings more wealth, which can better compensate for the consumption it brings.
