Compared with the Portuguese fleet, the English navy is more than a star and a half stronger, and the decline of the Portuguese navy is not only the decline of the size of the fleet, but also the command of the naval fleet, tactical command, and battlefield response are lagging behind a lot, and it is not at the same level at all.

The Portuguese fleet was helpless in the face of the bombardment of the Ming army's battery group, and could only return home, but the British naval fleet quickly turned around from passivity.

Even in the face of countless rocket attacks on the Ming battery, the British fleet was also well-founded, and quickly adjusted, the battleship that was shot quickly retreated, ready to put out the fire, repair the battleship, and the rest of the battleships took advantage of the gap between the Ming artillery fire to complete the tactical deployment against the Ming battery and began a fierce attack!

There are almost a hundred warships, and the artillery used directly exceeds two thousand, and one shell is dense like locusts, all of them hit the battery, and they have come to the surroundings of the battery, saturation attack, even if these shells can not accurately hit the artillery on the battery, and even some of the shells are out of the battery, hit the sea, there are still a large number of shells hit the battery, such a fierce shelling, even if the battery is built with bluestone, it has also been beaten to a thousand holes, especially the flowering shells of the Western fleet, Even if it is not as powerful as the Ming army's flowering shells, it still blows up the battery out of craters!

"Ahem, ahem!"

The artillery of the Ming army was robbed in the smoke and artillery fire, and the Ming army, which was suppressed by the ferocious shelling, did not dare to raise its head, this firepower was too fierce!

"Damn bastard!"

Du Jiucheng roared, "Just fucking rely on their artillery to bully people, and when our three fleets arrive, we must kill them to death!" ”

However, roaring is roaring, now the firepower of the British fleet is too fierce, even if the number of artillery and rockets of the Ming army combined, it is only one-tenth of the firepower of the British fleet, the firepower of the Ming army is obviously at a disadvantage, if it is not for the turret's strong and abnormal, just a few waves of attack by the British fleet is enough to destroy the battery group!

Fortunately, the Ming army is not vegetarian, and the number is not comparable, so take the power and rate of fire on the top, the flowering bomb is used to explode, the rocket is used to set fire, especially the flowering bomb, if it directly hits the waterline and explodes, even if the battleship is strong, it will not be able to continue fighting, and the sea water will pour back, if it is not repaired in time, there will only be an ending in the sinking sea!

Blake commanded the British fleet to surround the Ming army's battery group, and it has been from noon to evening, the artillery fire between the two sides has been extremely fierce, just the Ming army's batteries have fired nearly 10,000 shells, seven or eight thousand rockets, as for the British fleet, the artillery shells fired are even more, even if it is only a hundred waves of attack, more than 100,000 shells have been fired.

Under the attack of a large number of shells, the strong battery is already full of holes, on the fort, it is almost impossible to find a finished bluestone slab, as for the rocket and artillery, it is directly submerged by a large number of shells, the rocket was destroyed by more than half, the artillery loss also exceeded one-third, and the casualties of the Ming army rose sharply, more than 400 people!

Facing a strong opponent, Ming Jun felt a sense of powerlessness floating in his heart for the first time, there was no way, it was not an opponent, it was indeed not an opponent, the difference in strength between the two was too great!

Of course, the current England fleet is also difficult to ride tigers, originally thought that a few waves of attacks could solve the problem, but after attacking for half a day, I don't know how much artillery fire was wasted, and it was still impossible to take the battery! In half a day, at least two main battleships and four auxiliary battleships were destroyed by the Ming army's coastal defense guns and rockets, as for the wounded battleships, there are also not a few, this is a battleship, each battleship is piled up with silver, the cost of a main battleship is at least thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, only half a day's battle, sinking six battleships, that is more than 100,000 taels of silver......

This is still the combat alertness of the English fleet, and the response is fast, if the Portuguese fleet is replaced, I am afraid that the Portuguese fleet may be wiped out now!

Rao is so, Blake's face is pale, and he had to withdraw from the battle after dusk, although it brought great damage to the fort, but it was too difficult to completely destroy the Ming army's battery group, and it was definitely not so easy to take.

"Hehe, General Black, your attack is really powerful enough, hundreds of warships fired together, the shells covered the sky and the sun, and the entire battery group was shrouded in shells, but it seems that the effect is not too great, and it is useless, and it is useless......"

Seeing Blake running back in disgrace, Gomez teased.

Blake was already aggrieved, and Gomez was still adding fuel to the fire, so he was naturally annoyed and angry.

"Gomez, why don't you talk too much, let you test the reality of the Ming Army, what are you trying? Look at the artillery fire of the Ming army, is it what you are tempting? Their firepower is at least twice as high as when you attacked! You still have the face to laugh at me? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

Blake poured all his anger out on Gomez's face.

"General Black, you can't say that,"

Molde sneered: "You have taken the fort group, it is all the credit of your English, and now that you have failed, you should put the responsibility on the heads of others, how can this be reasonable?" General Gomez was already trying his best at noon, although the artillery fire of the Ming army was not as fierce as later, but you also saw that the strength of their coastal defense artillery was all exposed, and the rockets and infantry artillery were just the deployment of the Ming infantry on the ground, failure is failure, what else do you have to say? ”

Blake was squeezed by two people for a while, stammered, failed, just failed, in one day, there was no other people's battery group!

"Hmph, tomorrow, tomorrow our English fleet will continue to launch a fierce attack on the battery group, I don't believe that our hundreds of warships can't help a small fortress! Just wait! ”

Blake snapped.

Troppe said in a deep voice: "Blake, this kind of strong attack is not the way, even if we can take this fortress, what if the Strait of Malacca alone has at least four equally strong battery groups, even if we finally take the entire battery group?" We will at least lose dozens of large and small warships, which is an incalculable loss for us! ”
