"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

This is not the first time that the roar of artillery fire has sounded in the South Seas, and such a large-scale and intensive artillery bombardment is tantamount to a catastrophe for the Manchurian country.

Zheng He's fleet was strong, but his ammunition was consumed all the way from the South Seas to the African continent, and when he returned, he could no longer cover such dense firepower.

Therefore, both Manraka and Sumatra subconsciously believe that the power of firearms is nothing more than that.

But today, they will find that their judgment was ridiculously wrong.

Before a dozen or so ships loaded with gold and silver could pay their respects to Chen Kan's fleet, after a burst of intense artillery fire, only a large pile of broken wooden planks remained in place.

As for the gold, silver, and people, they have long been gone.

Chen Kan didn't care if the people on the ship died or fled, it didn't matter.

"Herald, keep going!"

Tan Cong continued to give the order to approach the coast.

Chen Kan could see through the clairvoyant mirror that the opponent's fleet was moving rapidly.

Dozens of warships, only a little larger than Chen Kan's cruisers, lined up on both sides, as if trying to surround Chen Kan's fleet.

Unfortunately, even though the number of warships in Manraka was more than three times that of Chen Kan's fleet, the power of artillery could not be replenished by numbers.

"The mantis arm is a car, and the grasshopper shakes the tree!"

Chen Kan's voice fell, and Tan Cong once again gave the order to fire.

The rumbling cannon roar was deafening, and the fleet of Manraka wanted to repeat the old trick and surround Chen Kan's fleet with crowd tactics.

But under the cover of artillery fire, they simply did not have a chance to sail out of the port.

One by one, the warships were reduced to pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea, and countless soldiers from the Manchurian kingdom abandoned their ships and fled in terror.

Nanyang: "This is the power of the gods, we cannot resist ......"

"God, who can tell me why we would provoke such a powerful enemy?"

"No, help, help me!"

"The artillery of the Ming army is here again, run away!"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the harbor in front of the city of Malacca.

The Manraka soldiers were terrified.

The opponent's artillery can easily shred their warships, but they don't even have a chance to get close to the other side, how to deal with such a war?

Crying, wailing, begging for mercy, the voice is full of life.

An officer-like native stood at the bow of the ship, and as soon as he shouted the word "surrender" to Chen Kan's fleet, the oncoming shells tore him to pieces.

"No~"

Under artillery fire, all beings are equal, whether you are a high-ranking general or a civilian who has been temporarily captured as a sailor, under artillery fire, the only fate is to become a pile of minced meat.

And their hoarse screams were destined not to reach Chen Kan's ears.

The distance between the two sides is too far.

Chen Kan couldn't even see what the people on the opposite fleet looked like, and could only see countless figures dodging back and forth on the ship through the clairvoyant mirror.

Many more of the soldiers jumped out to sea, unable to get back to shore or stay on board.

On the shore there was a team of overseers sent by Bairi Missoula, and if any soldier dared to abandon the ship and flee, they would be greeted with a knife and their heads cut off.

And staying on the ship, the artillery fire of the Ming army was as dense as raindrops, and there was no chance of survival at all.

Only by jumping into the sea may there be a glimmer of life.

"Order, the cruiser is approaching the coast and blocking their retreat!"

Tan Cong methodically issued one order after another, and each order could devour the lives of many Manraka soldiers.

Chen Kan plugged his ears with two balls of cotton.

Holding a clairvoyant mirror, he quietly watched the collapse of the Manchurian fleet on the other side.

It was also the first time for Chen Kan to fight such a rich battle, countless shells poured down, and the enemy fleet collapsed like a multi-bony Nomi card.

Anyway, it looks a little spectacular at first, but it's a bit boring to watch.

The scene in front of me is not so much a war as a one-sided massacre.

The roar of artillery fire had been sounding for an hour, and Chen Kan hadn't even seen the enemy's face.

It's cool, but it's not hot enough.

Many soldiers with muskets stood on the deck, and could only watch with envy as the gunners continued to fire their guns, but the muskets they carried did not have much effect.

It's as if they're just there to see the show.

Chen Kan touched his mouth, and suddenly threw the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Zhang Dong with some interest.

Because there's no need to look any further.

This is not a war, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

In just one hour, more than 1,000 enemy ships were beaten to only half.

Originally, Chen Kan also planned to fight Zheng He on both sides, take Malacca City within three days, and then return to Bolimbang to rescue Song Qing, but in this situation, it seems that it will not take three days.

Chen Kan can now finally understand why, during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, hundreds of thousands of troops of our Qing Dynasty could not stop the coalition army of several thousand people, and they were easily beaten into the capital Beijing by so many people.

At that time, I thought it was my incompetence.

Now it seems that the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it is indeed the flesh and blood that cannot stop the bombardment of artillery fire.

Because this is not a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter.

What is war, the two sides have fought back and forth, you sing and I will appear on the stage, it is called war, a group of adults with machetes in their hands chasing a group of children to kill can it be called war?

Two hours later, the sound of artillery fire finally stopped.

After three hours of bombardment, there were only one or two hundred scattered warships left in the fleet of the Manraka Naval Division outside Malacca, and almost none of the warships left were intact.

As for the army of Manchuria, it has already abandoned the warships.

Even their own warlords were slaughtered by the soldiers who had abandoned their ships and fled.

And Tan Cong ordered a ceasefire, not because the ammunition of Chen Kan's fleet had run out, but because Zheng He's fleet had arrived.

A slightly dilapidated treasure ship, but much larger than the treasure ship that Chen Kan was riding, was safely parked hundreds of meters away from the treasure ship that Chen Kan was riding.

The other party waved the order flag to show his intention, and the soldiers under Chen Kan's command waved the order flag in response.

A moment later, an old cruiser sailed from the other party's treasure ship towards Chen Kan's treasure ship.

Chen Kan asked someone to lower the boat ladder, and the three of them climbed up the boat ladder.

"Hahaha, Marquis Jinghai, it's not too late, right?"

Before Zheng Heren arrived, a burst of hearty laughter showed his current mood.

Chen Kan greeted him with a smile: "Hahahaha, Zheng Shuai came here here without any scruples, aren't you afraid that the two of us will be killed by the enemy?" ”

"They have the ability?"

Zheng He's tone contained a strong sense of confidence.

The convergence of the two fleets meant that Zheng He's ships would be supplied with ammunition immediately.

On the small strait, more than 500 Ming warships were stationed.

In this era, it is an invincible existence.

Therefore, Zheng He dared to come to Chen Kan's ship to join him without any scruples, which was not only a trust in Chen Kan, but also an absolute confidence in the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Kan grabbed Zheng He's sleeve and said from the bottom of his heart: "I have been adrift at sea for three years, and I have worked hard to raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty outside the territory." ”

Chen Kan was really emotional, because Zheng He was black and thin, and his face was full of weather, he didn't look like a great eunuch who had been clean for many years, but more like a Nanyang native.

There is only one pair of eyes, still as bright as the stars in the sky.

Hearing this, Zheng He smiled brightly and said, "Zheng He is incompetent, and he has to bother Jinghai Hou to come to the rescue, and he has really lost His Majesty's face." ”

"Why should Zheng Shuai be arrogant, he has not been able to get any supplies in three years, and he can still maintain the integrity of the fleet, just this ability, who doesn't praise Zheng Shuai as a famous general in the world?"

Chen Kan suppressed Zheng He's words and pulled him to the room.

While walking, he said: "This time, His Majesty sent Ben Hou to bring a lot of chicken, duck and fish meat from the local people, Ben Hou has asked someone to pick it up, and after three years outside, Zheng Shuai has eaten and slept in the open, presumably the taste of this hometown has long been blurred, go with Ben Hou, eat and drink enough, and wash away the shame that Manraga brought to the general......

Chen Kan's tone was kind and straightforward, and Zheng He's eyes were red when he heard it.

Who can't miss the taste of hometown?
