Rumble! Rumble! Several high-explosive shells flew straight through the muzzle of the cannon and landed on the tidal flats, blowing up a cloud of gravel! Then several more Haicang ships crossed the southwest of the fort, firing the Japanese cannons and roaring! Rumble! Rumble! High-explosive shells once again blew up the yellow sand in the sky.

The visibility of the batteries at this time was basically zero, there were enemy ships firing on three sides, the communication between the batteries was interrupted, and they fought separately, and the threat to the Daming Naval Division was minimized.

On the Zhiyuan, Hou Wei held the telescope and watched the battle intently, and was relieved to see that his tactics were proper and the fort had no power to fight back. It's still too hasty, if there is another year and a half, the rifled naval guns will be built, where will it be like now, a landing battle will be fought carefully.

"Lord, there are two centipede ships from the west."

Hua Houwei turned his head to look, and a group of black dots appeared in the telescope. He smiled and looked at Wang Fuheng and Qi Youshan: "Which of you two is going to kill it?" ”

"Me!" "Me!" Both jumped up at the same time, their bodies straight. Wang Fuheng scratched his head and changed his words and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Qi commands, I will study." This T-shaped tactic has never been practiced after all. ”

"Good! That's what it looks like! When conditions allow, prudence is a virtue! Go ahead! Bring three capital ships and beat Lao Tzu so that his mother doesn't even know him! ”

The Governor of Manraka, Waya, personally came to the fort of Taiwan, held a monocular, looked at it for a while, and said to Ficanander beside him: "Where is Alvared now?" How could so many Ming ships come to Malacca? ”

Ficanandre hesitated slightly, but still said what was in his heart: "Your Excellency, there are only two situations. One is that Alvared was defeated and completely annihilated, and the other is that the two fleets passed by, and neither knew of the other's existence. ”

"Oh, which case do you think it is?"

"I think it should be the second case, the reason is very simple, the Ming Kingdom does not yet have the ability to completely destroy all Portuguese ships! The last time it was actually exposed that the Ming Kingdom was backward in terms of weapons, and after entering the age of firearms, naval battles were no longer won by having more ships. Even if Alvared is defeated, there will be the remaining ships to return home, after all, only Malacca is the only safe haven here! ”

"Brilliant analysis! Mr. Figanand, you have once again refreshed my perception of you. Very good! Based on this objective judgment, what do you think we should do? ”

Ficanander looked at the sea in the distance and said categorically: "Lord Governor, if we hold back the fleet of the Ming Kingdom, once Alvared returns, in terms of the terrain of the Strait of Malacca, it will be the situation of catching turtles in the urn as the Ming people said!" Then, this is a very important weight, and the door of China, an ancient empire, will most likely be opened to us! ”

Woya looked at the young man with great admiration and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, the kingdom will depend on people like you in the future. Go, I give you full command and let this old empire see the strength of the Kingdom of Portugal! ”

Ficanand didn't talk nonsense either, and immediately gave an order: "The battery is completely ineffective, all personnel retreat, heavy artillery can stay in the battery, but gunpowder and shells must be brought back to Malacca!" The personnel were divided into two parts, one entering the Fort of Santiago and the other at Fort Taiwan. ”

The sand and dust cleared, and the batteries on the coast of Malacca were empty. Hua Houwei, who received the news, frowned, Wang Feng understood Hua Houwei's hesitation, is there a conspiracy behind this abnormality?

"Lord Wang, why did the Francophiles give up the beachhead? Aren't you afraid of the landing of our army? ”

Wang Feng said hesitantly: "Lord Wang, that fort has little effect on our army, why don't you give up?" ”

Hua Houwei suddenly woke up to the fact that he had always had a problem with his thinking! Of course, useless tactics will be abandoned, and the landing war will only be tragic in World War II, and without enough combat examples to support it, who will pay attention to the landing war? In this era, there are mainly urban offensive and defensive battles, field battles, and naval battles, and there is no concept of integrated warfare at all, and of course no one will attach importance to landing warfare!

Hua Houwei smiled dumbly, his thinking reversed, and the other party's strategy became clear. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that the Franco machine man has the idea of catching turtles in an urn!" They would not have thought of the reconquest of Tuen Mun O, let alone the destruction of their fleet. Haha, in their opinion, after we land, we will confront them under the city of Malacca, and after the fleet returns, we will have no way to escape! ”

Wang Feng nodded: "The prince's idea is lowly and agreeable, and the Francophile is arrogant, and he dares to provoke the country of the Ming Dynasty with just one state, it is not strange to have such an idea." What's more, the two sides were defeated once before, and the combat strength of the two sides is not much different, even if the Franco fleet is defeated, it can retreat with its whole body. Therefore, in the eyes of the Franco, their fleet is just passing by the sailors, and of course they will have the luxury of catching turtles in the urn. But who is the fisherman and who is the turtle? ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and Hua Houwei gave an order: "Leave five hundred people on the boat, and the rest go ashore to dig out the bezoar dog treasure of the Buddha Lang machine!" ”

Three thousand soldiers came ashore, and Hua Houwei said with emotion: "Lord Wang, since the father-in-law of Sanbao, I have no soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty to come to this Malacca. This time, we must keep Malacca firmly in our hands! Hehe, it's good that the Franc machine is here, if Manraka is still there, those rotten Confucians are buzzing again. ”

Wang Feng nodded: "Yes, I didn't think this place was important before, but now, the Francophone is thousands of miles away, and he has occupied this place for a long time, which shows the importance of Malacca!" ”

Hua Houwei looked at Wang Hong: "Lord Wang, if Daming wants to go to sea, he must pass Malacca." You've also seen the globe, and the Cape of Good Hope in Africa is Europa. So this Malacca must be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty! ”

There are two forts outside the city of Malacca and the city are far away. In order to break the city and occupy Malacca, it is necessary to conquer two fortresses outside the city. Hua Houwei looked at Sanbao Mountain and sneered: "Sanbao Mountain has become St. Paul's Mountain, and the Franc machine should be killed!" Niu Yaowu, go and take Fort Santiago. Geng Baoguo, the Taiwan Fort over there is yours. Ding Baoshan, you are from the palace guards, play the majesty of the palace guards, you will arrange the snipers, and Makqin will give you a boost, and you are not allowed to let go of a Franco! ”

Wo Ya looked at the team outside the city and shook his head slightly: "The Ming army is such a quality? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, the city of Malacca is triangular with the cities of Fort Taiwan and Fort Santiago, and the Ming Kingdom must break through three fortresses in order to defeat us completely. But this is certainly something that even God cannot do! Now it's up to Alvared! ”
