Chapter 414: Turning My Remnant into a Sharp Arrow
"Attract enemy fire!" Cover the boat behind!"
Cai Fuyi roared angrily, the commander was like this, and the sailors also overcame the fear in their hearts.
This Karak battleship is the largest new warship built in Guangdong this time, and it can completely defeat the Galen battleship in the Netherlands one-on-one.
As soon as he rushed within range of numerous enemies, he came under intense artillery fire.
Hot iron cannonballs smashed through planks, rolled up sawdust, and crushed the sailors' hands and feet.
A sound like the cannon of a dense thunderstorm brought up a large cloud of gunpowder smoke on the surface of the sea.
"Boom!"
"Card!"
A cannonball whistled and concentrated the bridge of the Ming flagship.
A large number of broken fragments injured Cai Fuyi's arm.
"Don't be afraid! The old man is still here!"
Cai Fuyi and the flagship are dilapidated, but they are still standing.
"Huh!?"
The Dutch gunners were stunned, why did the battleship of the Ming Kingdom take so many guns and no gunpowder explosion?
"Huh!?"
The captains of the Dutch ships saw the smoke of gunpowder on the sea, and they could hardly see the ordinary ships behind the Ming army.
"Do you mean...... Hit the trick!
!」
The Dutch were tricked.
Cai Fuyi's flagship only brought half of the gunpowder, and the gunpowder had been depleted when the battle was fired non-stop just now. When the ships waiting for the troop transport were in formation, they threw all the remaining gunpowder into the sea.
There was no gunpowder on the ship, and of course it would not be exploded by enemy artillery.
This kind of huge empty ship will only sink when it is subjected to dozens of rounds of shelling and the whole ship falls apart.
This is the reason why Cai Fuyi dared to be the target of the enemy's artillery.
Due to the joint salvo of enemy artillery, the individual battleships were enveloped in a large amount of gunsmoke. After fighting for so long just now, a lot of gunpowder smoke had accumulated, so that it was completely impossible to see now.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
The broken flagship turned into a sharp edge and tore apart the enemy's last stubborn resistance.
This is the final battle of Cai Fuyi.
The Dutch were stunned.
Some captains ignored the orders of Cohen, the company's governor, and hurriedly ordered to lift anchor and escape.
But where did he have time, he was quickly hit by a fireball and ignited.
Some enemy sailors ignored orders and hurriedly went to let off small boats to flee for their lives. As a result, by the side of the boat, I met a colleague with a panicked face, and no one could run away.
In just one stick of incense, ten Dutch and Galen battleships were pasted by dozens of burning ships. The fire was so fierce that it soon set the battleship Galen on fire.
Cohen also hurriedly ordered the anchor to retreat, but it was too late.
By the time the Dutch ships had fled, more than a dozen Galen ships had been set on fire.
The Ming army's new-style warships and Guangzhou ships also launched an attack, and the centipede boats rowed back to pick up the soldiers of the construction army who had fallen into the water.
Due to proper cooperation, Da Ming gained control of the battlefield again, and more than eighty percent of the people on the 150 lit ships were rescued.
On the contrary, there were only 20 Galen ships left in the Netherlands.
Of the more than 50 ships that supported Galen, only a dozen were withdrawn.
The enemy could only maintain the formation and continue to maneuver with the Ming fleet, and was no longer able to attack the Ming-Portuguese alliance on the shore.
......
The situation at sea was such that the shelling of the fortress immediately became sparse.
Although Liu Xiang was wounded, if he had been a pirate in the past, he would have withdrawn a long time ago. But now she is fighting for the land, *** and status of the Ming Dynasty, and her own interests are also highly integrated with the Ming Dynasty.
"Follow me! Huaxia needs our courage!"
Liu Xiang led the old guys to charge.
The Portuguese army was reduced to 800 men, and their morale was already broken, and some of them had already thought of surrendering Malacca in exchange for the Dutch to spare.
But the arrival of so many reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty rekindled their courage.
The Europeans also had their own characteristics, the Dutch were good at business and defensive, while the Yomberians were used for exploration and possessed unsurpassed courage.
"Up! Raise your sword and fight hand-to-hand!"
The Portuguese drew their swift swords and fought with the Japanese army's katana.
"Shennong Army! Get on the bayonet!"
Zhou Zhi took the lead in raising the flintlock pistol and put on the three-edged military thorn.
The rest of the soldiers are also equipped with triangular military stabs, although it is the first time to fight with bayonets, but a year of special training, should be at this time.
"Charge!"
Liu Xiang was also injured and followed with a knife.
Hou Cai was in charge of the overall situation, and at this moment he commanded and dispatched three troops and horses to maintain the formation, and also dispatched reserves to intersperse from the flanks.
In an instant, the sword light and sword shadow flickered, and the sound of fighting and sword fighting was everywhere, and the Ming-Portuguese alliance army was huge, fearlessly moving forward under artillery fire.
The bombardment of naval artillery was interfered with by Cai Fuyi, and the Ming-Portuguese coalition forces soon gained the advantage.
The Dutch and Japanese allied armies were already tired, and they were even more shocked when they saw the momentum of the Ming-Portuguese coalition army.
Many samurai and ronin in the Japanese army are outlaws, and they still have the courage and strength to fight hand-to-hand to win.
The Dutch marines were nowhere to be at it, and in Europe they were known for being good at defending rather than offensively, and the defenders only had to fire their guns with the help of the bastion, and the offense always had to be fought hand-to-hand to complete the final battle.
They're just not good at that.
The Ming army became more and more courageous.
