Li Dingguo got Xia Jing's approval and knew that the imperial court was very supportive of his efforts to conquer the other two colonies of the Xiyi people in Malacca.

Penang and Malacca, Malacca is also known as Malaja, and the locals and foreigners are called differently.

He himself is still confident in attacking the two colonies, and now with the support of the imperial court, and hundreds of ships are parked on the sea for his command, there is no problem at all in terms of combat power.

Li Dingguo, as the top military decision-maker in Luzon, had his backyard invaded by the Xiyi people, and he simply wanted to take revenge and occupy their territory and drive the Xiyi people out of this area.

And Xia Jing's thinking is different, as one of the decision-makers who Dayu came back from the future, he naturally thinks about the overall situation, and weighs the pros and cons in all aspects.

Therefore, for the occupation of the Strait of Malacca, she first thought of occupying it for the benefit of future generations.

The Strait of Malacca is known as the largest sea passage and the crossroads of the sea, and you can imagine how important its geographical location is.

For the sake of the Maritime Silk Road that will arise in the future, occupying this strait now is also to prevent the Xiyi people from choking the sea life passage in the future.

"Since this strait is so important, then we must use thunder to drive the Xiyi people out of this sea, and if we resist, we will destroy them!" Lee King Hock is also a man who has seen a map of the world, and he knows the importance of Malacca better than anyone in the room except Xia Jing.

Hearing this, Li Chengyi remembered several nephews in the capital, who were making a fuss about coming, but because they were also going to sea for the first time, the Emperor Taishang refused their request.

Now, he found that Dayu's soldiers and horses seemed to be mixing well in Nanyang, and he knew that he should have persuaded his father to promise a few nephews. so that his nephews didn't dare to accept the gifts they gave him.

Li Dingguo has no opinion on this, Dayu has improved firearms, and now all of them are equipped with rifled flintlock pistols and rifled steel cannons.

These two weapons, both in terms of range and accuracy, are a few streets away from the Fran cannons of the Xiyi people.

That's the advantage on their side.

What's more, their Dayu is closer to Malacca than the Xiyi people, even if they have to transfer troops in the end, they are much faster in speed.

Under such a favorable situation, if they can't win against the Xiyi people, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!

"In the future, marine strategy will be the focus of Dayu, I hope that Li Aiqing will train more young generals for Dayu in the future, so that Dayu's navy will carry forward and realize the dream of dominating the world as soon as possible!" Li Jingfu encouraged.

"The last general will go all out to live up to the expectations of the emperor and his mother!" Li Dingguo was excited when he heard this.

Emperor Taishang said that he would focus on marine strategy in the future, does that mean that there will be a place for him Li Dingguo on the battlefield in Dayu in the future?

Back then, he was just an ordinary ordinary person in Annan.

Later, he went astray and went up the mountain to become a bandit, until he met Niangniang, and the gears of his fate were changed. It is no exaggeration to say that Xia Jing is the noble person in his life.

joined Lingnan and entered the army, and was incorporated into the Dayu Navy by Niangniang by virtue of his ability to be a southerner, which is the stage that really opened his talent.

Western colonizers roamed across several oceans, relying on military disparities to crush the local natives. If you meet a powerful country in the region, in fact, the Western colonizers will not be able to get any benefits.

For example, Dayu!

This time, the Xiyi people actually coveted the military base in the Nanyang of Dayu, which is tantamount to offending Dayu's reverse scales, and if they don't teach a lesson, they can't remember the lesson!

On 28 March, Li Dingguo organized 80 warships and divided them into two groups to launch an attack on the Spanish colony of Malacca in the Strait of Malacca and the Eagle Colony in Penang.

Dayu's army didn't care which country they were, Dayu's army only knew that these were yellow-haired and white-skinned Xiyi people, and he had to pay the price for attacking Luzon, and the idea of the soldiers was so simple.

If there is any Chinese who were the most arrogant in Nanyang during this period, it must be the Dutch.

The Dutch have always coveted the Spanish colony in Malacca, and the Dutch fought with Spain last year, but the control of Malacca is still in Spanish hands, and the Dutch did not take it.

But in the Far East, the Dutch were the strongest, but their power was more dispersed, and there were Dutch colonies everywhere in the South Seas.

If they don't concentrate their firepower, it will be a bit difficult to take Malacca.

Dayu's fleet appeared in the Strait of Malacca, and the Spaniards stationed in Malacca thought it was the Dutch again, and urgently sounded the alarm.

As a result, when the forces were concentrated on the city walls, and then looked at the fleet that was getting closer and closer on the sea, they found that the flag on the ship was not the one they were familiar with.

Li Jingfu, Xia Jing and Li Chengyi stood on the ships in the rear, looking at the city in front of them, Li Jingfu said: "The Spaniards once wanted to land in Lingnan in the 34th year of Huiyuan and levied high taxes on Lingnan, but they were resisted by the people of Lingnan.

They wanted to fight back, wanted to forcibly expropriate, and finally the two sides clashed and were killed by the people of Lingnan, and now it has only been a few years, and these Xiyi people are restless again, and they actually want to occupy our Luzon base, which is simply unreasonable! ”

"And this?" Xia Jing looked at him in surprise, this was the first time she had heard of this, "In this way, the people of Lingnan are still very bloody, and if they don't face the Xiyi people, they won't bravely defend their homeland!" ”

"The queen mother may have not paid attention to the outside affairs in the backyard of the palace at that time, I heard about this, when the two sides fought so fiercely that the Spaniards did not dare to step into the land of Dayu again, they retreated to occupy Haojingao, as their base in the Far East, specifically for the homeland to loot wealth and supply the ocean-going fleet." Li Chengyi explained to Xia Jing for Li Jingfu.

On the surface of the sea, the originally calm waves began to roll as the ship approached. The Dayu battleship marched forward mightily, and the sharp blade of the bow cut through the raging waves.

There were so many ships that no one would believe them if they were to say it, and the Spaniards in Malacca began to get nervous.

"There is an enemy attacking, prepare for war! Prepare for battle! ”

"No need to ask for instructions, as long as the enemy's ships are within range of our shelling, everyone can fire freely!"

The Spanish generals stationed in the city of Malacca were almost frightened when they found that the ships on the sea were not good.

Their port forces combined are not one-tenth of each other's!

Which country's fleet is this?

"Look, Governor!" A soldier at the head of the city of Malacca pointed to the ships on the sea in shock as if he had discovered a new continent, and said loudly: "The words on the flag are the font of Dongfang Dayu, is this fleet from Dayu?" ”

It seems that they don't have any major conflicts with Dayu, why did they send such a large fleet to attack their colony?

The shells at the head of Malacca were loaded and ignited just as soon as the fleet came within range.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the fleet stopped outside the range.

"What do they mean by that? Is this scared? ”

The Spaniards were confused all of a sudden, and they didn't know what Dayu's fleet meant?

Slowly, they found that Dayu's fleet was lined up, and the ship turned sideways, facing them was the black muzzle.

The Spaniards looked stunned for a moment, and they didn't even get within range before they took a position?

Or are they getting the distance wrong?

The Spaniard double-checked the estimated distance, "That's right, it's not within range yet!" ”

The Spanish governor in Malacca frowned slightly, "They lined up before they were within range, did they want to show fireworks?" ”

The soldier next to him had a bold idea, and said casually, "Lord Governor, could it be that we are within the range of Dayu's artillery?" ”

This absurd statement, the Spanish governor scoffed, but since he denied his statement, he couldn't figure out why Dayu acted like this.

Anyway, Dayu's mysterious behavior made the second monk in Malacca puzzled.

Before they could figure it out, the barrels of Dayu's fleet slowly stretched out from the cabin.

"Even God, Dayu really wants to bombard us with a cannon! Will their obsessive behavior really succeed, or will their artillery be able to shoot us? ”

"Warren, your idea is very dangerous, how can the artillery of the Dayu people be more powerful than ours, isn't this a fantasy!"

"Look, their artillery is all outstretched! Be careful, everyone! ”

The kind reminder of his companion did not attract the attention of the Spaniards, and most Spaniards thought that Dayu's artillery was inferior and could not compare to theirs.

It was also the last time they attacked Luzon, the distance between everyone was close, so the Spaniards did not find out the power of Dayu's artillery.

Such a light enemy, lost three points before the battle!

"Boom, boom!"

With the sound of cannons, countless cannonballs flew into the sky, flying in a parabola towards the head of Malacca.

"Damn! Hide! ”

By the time the Spaniards had discovered that the range of the shells was abnormal, they shouted a loud reminder that it was too late.

"Boom."

The Spaniards, who did not have time to hide, were hit by the bombardment, or were shot by shrapnel.

Suddenly, there was a wail at the head of the city!

After a period of panic, the Spaniards rushed to meet the battle, they could not control so much, and lit the artillery to counterattack.

"Boom Boom"

The water is tumbling and splashing.

Li Chengyi excitedly looked at the splashes that exploded everywhere in the distance, "This is how the yellow-haired monster welcomes us?" ”

As they spoke, another shell exploded not far from their ship.

Li Chengyi excitedly pointed to the sea and shouted: "Father, mother, look at the sea to see if there are a few fish bombed out of the sea!" ”

Xia Jing looked at the sea and shook her head, there was already smoke on the city wall at this time, thinking that some buildings in the city were already on fire.

Thick smoke billowed out, and on the sea, Dayu's ships still maintained their original formation, and they were not chaotic because of the war.

The soldiers at the head of the city were engaged in a fierce artillery campaign. Almost every shot made a loud noise and a splash.

It is difficult for the Spaniards to imagine the power of Dayu's artillery in this era.

The soldiers on the Dayu ship frantically operated the artillery, and each shell had a fierce power, mixed with a burning core, making it difficult for the Spaniards in the city to dodge.

The sulfur smoke that erupted from the muzzle of the cannon filled the entire sea, as if the entire sea had turned into a sea of fire.

Xia Jing was choked and coughed lightly, and fanned the air in front of her nose with her hand. In this era, fighting at sea was almost one of the most dangerous battles.

Artillery fire from both sides swirled in the air, one moment attacking, the other defensive, competing for every wind direction and angle. Tragic casualties followed, corpses and severed limbs floated between ships, and the blood-red sea was horrifying.

Of course, today's Dayu fleet is tantamount to unilateral abuse, and the above situation cannot appear on Dayu's side for the time being.

Artillery fire intertwined over the walls of Malacca, and shells exploded, and shrapnel rained down. Those who could not dodge were wounded by shrapnel, and dodging in time would have saved their lives, and the Spaniards at the head of the city were all apprehensive when they found this situation.

They ran incessantly through the fire and smoke, trying to dodge the deadly shells.

This is the Spaniards have not encountered such an embarrassing situation under the counterattack of the eastern countries since they set up a colony on a long voyage.

Obviously, this situation was unexpected by the Spaniards.

And the troops on the sea were full of fighting spirit, and all of them were ready to meet the battle with high morale.

"Don't let them bomb again, we'll all die if they keep bombarding!" The Spanish governor in Malacca could no longer hold back at this time, and he surrendered!

He asked the soldiers to raise the white flag to show weakness to Dayu's fleet, he was just a businessman, there was no need to let the enemy endanger his life for the sake of so-called dignity.

Moreover, before the war, he didn't know that Dayu's firepower was so fierce, if he had known earlier, he would have fled long ago if he didn't say anything.

"Father, mother, look, there seems to be a white cloth hanging on the head of the city on the land, and they have surrendered to us!"

As long as it is not a problem between Dayu and other countries, Xia Jing can be willful, "Who knows if there is a fraud, let the soldiers continue to bombard, and bombard until they kneel and surrender!" ”

The flag waved, and it was another round of shelling.

"Ouch, what does Dayu fleet mean? We have already raised the white flag, why haven't we stopped shelling? ”

"Holy! How can this Dayu army be more ruthless than the Dutch! This is to fight us to the death! The Spanish governor shouted at his subordinates: "Is your flag too small, make a bigger white flag, wave it vigorously, and let the Dayu fleet see this white flag as much as possible!" ”

Stationed in Malacca for many years, it was the first time that a fleet dared to be tough with them, and it was also the first time that the artillery power had encountered such a fierce one.

If they don't surrender, they will be destroyed by the other side in minutes.

I'm afraid that after this, I'm afraid that the two countries are already enemies, and the Spanish governor is full of helplessness, but they can't beat the Dayu people at this time.

As long as they think that the current situation will continue, they will have to make compromises, or they may not be able to return to their homeland this year.

Xia Jing saw that a larger white flag had been replaced on the city wall and the city gate was wide open, so she ordered some of the ships to land, and the remaining part of the ships to defend at sea!
