The guns on modern warships are held by all kinds of advanced equipment, and the hit rate is very low. What's more, in this era, it is possible to fire hundreds of shells without hitting a single hit.

It is not uncommon for a ship to even hit a dozen shells and still be able to move normally.

The Zheng family sailors fired hundreds of shells, but only three or four hit the ship Great Henry, and the others were missed.

Seeing that the enemy was only missing one ship, Zheng Chenggong shouted loudly, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, give me a hard fight before the enemy reacts!" ”

Looking at the sinking Great Henry, Paul cried out in pain: "No, my Great Henry, my wealth!" God, you let me die......"

The Governor of Mascolu saw it and scolded angrily: "Damn, the vile yellow race will only sneak attack." Fight back, give me a hard blow! ”

The sailors, who had been begging for a living at sea for a long time, heard the order of the governor from the commander, and soon came out of panic and into battle.

In order to survive, the battleship of the Franc Machine raised all the sails, and the ship slowly started and rushed towards the Zheng family sailors at a speed of 2 knots per hour.

At the same time, the veil of the artillery was lifted, pushed to the firing window and aimed at the battleship of the Zheng family's naval division, and opened heavy fire.

The sea surface of the ships of the Zheng Family Naval Division was stirred up by a column of water.

Seeing that the other party was starting to counterattack, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly shouted, "The sand boat will approach the battleship at all costs and build the enemy ship with a hook!" ”

The sand boat was light, but the firepower was not strong enough, and the three or four guns loaded on the ship were all three pounds and six pounds, and the firepower and range were not as good as the boat, so Zheng Chenggong could only let the sand boat use fire attack and broadside combat.

Lin Xishan heard it and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, General!" ”

The sand boat suddenly set sail, divided into several columns, and rushed towards the ghosts in the harbor at full speed.

The boat had just started, and the speed could not be raised. The sand boat, however, was already ready to go, using the dexterity of the hard sails to increase its speed to 7 knots per hour.

Of the 37 sand ships, 8 were filled with firewood and grease, and rode the northwest wind to rush straight into the harbor's Fanki fleet.

"Ignition!"

As they approached the enemy ship, the sand ship was set on fire with this roar.

The sailors on board immediately jumped into the sea.

The fire, instigated by the sea breeze, burned the ship's armor and burst into flames.

When the governor of Mascolu saw this, he hastened to give an order; "Quick, quick, all ships immediately cut the anchor line and dodge those fireships!"

At the command of the order, the ships rushed to flee for their lives, and the fleet was suddenly in chaos, making it even more difficult to dodge the fireships.

After the fire boat hit the boat in the wind, the fire snake flew and the smoke billowed out.

In an instant, the boat caught fire and burned violently.

When many ships that were not on fire saw the flames, they were so confused that they fled in a panic regardless of their commands.

As a result, many ships sank in self-collisions, and most of the ships that did not make it out of the harbor were engulfed in flames.

As soon as the sand boats that followed the fireboat approached, the sailors of the Zheng family threw iron hooks one by one onto the enemy ships and hooked their sides.

With all their might, the two boats came closer together.

"Stop them, hurry, cut off those hooks!" The captain of the boat shouted violently. The sailors of the Zheng family clenched their axes, jumped hard, jumped onto the deck of the enemy ship, and shouted: "Kill! ”

It's fighting with foreign fans.。

Seeing that the sand ships had disrupted the formation of the Franc fleet, Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed and decided not to leave a way for the Franc fleet, and all the ships puffed up their sails and moved forward at full speed.

The Franc machine was defenseless, the shells on the ship were seriously insufficient, and in the chaos, not a single shell hit the ship of the Zheng family's naval division.

The Franc aircraft bombarded for so long, but it failed to seriously damage any of the Zheng family ships.

Seeing this, the Zheng Jiashui Division boldly approached the enemy, and the closer it was to the enemy, the higher the artillery hit rate of the Zheng Jiashui Division.

The Zheng family's sailors pursued and fought fiercely, and the Francophone fleet was severely damaged.

The battle lasted until the end of the day, when Mascolu saw that the sailors on the ship were trying their best to dodge, but the ship was still shot, and the Zheng family sailors were ravaging the fleet of the Franc aircraft, and the shells were fired as if they did not need money, as if they wanted to send all the ships of the Franc aircraft to the bottom of the sea.

One by one, the sailors on board jumped into the sea, and there were already hundreds of Franc sailors floating on the surface.

The battle lasted until the end of the day, when he saw that seven or eight of his own warships had been sunk, and the governor of Mascolu knew that he could not defeat the Zheng family's sailors at sea.

He hurriedly shouted, "Retreat, all retreat to the Governor's Palace!" ”

Hearing the Governor's call to retreat, the Franc sailors, who had already lost their hearts on the shore, immediately left their ships that were still on fire and jumped into the sea, and swam to the shore with all their might.

In the end, more than 300 francs of soldiers and more than 200 sailors fled back to the Governor's Palace.

Seeing that the enemy had stopped shelling, many of the enemy jumped into the sea and swam ashore. Zheng Chenggong hurriedly ordered: "Quickly send someone to extinguish the fire!" ”

Under the supervision of the guns of the Zheng family's ships, four hundred Zheng sailors jumped onto the remaining three battleships and eight armed merchant ships.

He tried his best to extinguish the fire on the ship by all means, and finally saved two warships and six armed merchant ships.

After extinguishing the fire, Zheng Chenggong ordered to rescue the sailors and sailors who had fallen into the water.

Under the escort of the Zheng family's sailors, the sailors and sailors of the Franc machine climbed onto the ship one by one and were imprisoned in the warehouse of the Fu ship.

At first, the language barrier between the two sides, coupled with the hatred brought about by the death and injury of the battle, made several ghosts struggle to make trouble.

Lin Xishan, Chen Hui is not an ordinary person, after a few knives, he chopped those people up.

After the thunderbolt dealt with the five or six troublesome ghosts, the remaining ones were immediately honest and were guarded in the warehouse according to the instructions of the Zheng family's sailors.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the flagship of the Sifu ship of the Zheng family's sailors, looking at these Franc Galen sailing ships that were obviously very different from the Fu ships.

The building of the Fukubune was designed in the center of the ship, and the Galen ship was transferred to the stern part of the bow, and the bow mast [the mast protruding from the bow post and the spark used to tie the foremast] was fixed to its forebow. A unique aft lookout has also been added.

Although Zheng Chenggong drew a new type of battleship pattern for Zheng Ping, he himself blushed a little, the painting was too sloppy, and I don't know if Uncle Zheng Ping could see it. Now there are ready-made ships, which can be used as a reference for them to design the best warships by combining the advantages of Chinese and Western ships.

Zheng Chenggong was thinking about pulling the boat to Shijing and handing it over to Uncle Zheng Ping, when a huge cannon bombardment suddenly sounded.

Seeing the sea not far in front of him suddenly explode, the waves rolled up to cover Zheng Chenggong, choking him to cough out. cough cough cough ......

Lin Xishan saw that while ordering the flagship to retreat, he shouted: "General, those ghosts have hid in the castle and are firing back!" ”

Zheng Chenggong was angry, "Then fight back, give me a hard beating!" ”

After franc machine defrauded him of the right of residence in Macau, he also brought Catholicism to Macau.

In 1562, after several years, the Portuguese built this church in Macao, named the "St. Paul" church. The pronunciation of "St. Paul's" in Portuguese is close to the "Samba" in the local dialect of Macau, so it is also called "St. Paul's Church".

In order to protect the priests in St. Paul's Church and to defend against pirates and the Netherlands, the St. Paul's Fort was built in 1616 during the reign of Myojinzong.

The fort is located on a hill with an altitude of 52 meters in the middle of the Macao Peninsula about 500 meters away from the port, the fort covers an area of about 10,000 square meters, it is an irregular quadrilateral, the side length is about 100 meters, the four corners of the wall protrude out into a fortress, the northeast, southwest and southeast walls of the fort are built on a 3.7-meter-wide granite foundation, the wall is built with rammed earth masonry, and is plastered with oyster shell powder as plaster, which is very solid, the wall is about 9 meters high, and narrows to 2.7 meters wide. The parapet is about 2 meters high, in the shape of a pheasant, and can hold up to 32 cannons.

The fort was equipped with a pool and a munitions depot, which was well stocked to withstand a two-year siege. This fort was the core of Macao's defense system at that time, forming a wide artillery defense network covering the east and west coasts.

Historically, it has helped the Franc Aircraft repel the invasion of Dutch ships on several occasions.

Nearly seventy thirteen-pounder guns on the 21 ships of the Zheng family's naval division were aimed at the fort in unison, and the solid shells smashed the outer wall of the fort into the rubble.

Mashigaru, who had been hiding in the governor's palace under the fort, also recovered at this time, and ordered loudly: "Fight me, and you must drive those yellow people out." ”

The 32 guns on the battery were all heavy guns, twenty-two sixteen-pound guns, ten thirty-two-pound guns;

The Zheng family sailor floated on the sea, and the waves made the hit rate of the Zheng family's artillery even lower, coupled with the difference in the power of the artillery, so that the Zheng family's sailor division was at a disadvantage for a while.

The two sides bombarded each other for nearly half an hour, and one of the Zheng family's lucky ships was hit by three solid shells from the battery, and the ship's armor was shattered.

The battleship was squeezed by the seawater, torn in half and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that the Zheng family's ship was heavily damaged, Zheng Chenggong was heartbroken. Every ship is a weapon for its own survival!

Lin Xishan ran over and shouted loudly: "General, it can't go on like this, our ship is too bad, let's retreat first!" ”

Zheng Chenggong heard it and said fiercely, "First retreat ten nautical miles, surround the port, and at the same time send troops ashore to trap the fort." Not a single fly can fly out! ”

"Honorable Order!"

Zheng Chenggong also bypassed the port and landed ashore by sand boat, and set up a military camp thirty miles from the fort.

Zheng Jiajun surrounded the fort, and the governor of Masgarlu tried to send people to escape to East Timor several times, but Zheng Jiajun was captured.
