The bows and arrows hit the hull of the enemy ship and fell into the sea without leaving any traces.
At this time, the artillery on the Ming warship finally fired, and black shells roared and landed on the Aceh warship in the distance.
The roaring sound came, and a fire broke out on the ship.
As for the nearby Aceh warships, the Ming army was not willing to waste artillery shells at all, and rushed over directly, ramming the opposite ships into chaos.
Pieces of planks floated on the sea, and they were tightly grasped by the Acehnese soldiers who fell into the sea.
When the three-masted gunboat passed by behind, the sailors on the boat held firecrackers and began to practice target shooting at sea.
The Acehnese people who luckily escaped the Ming army's artillery practice breathed a sigh of relief.
The Johor fleet came over.
The Johorese took bows and arrows and started shooting at the surviving Acehnese.
Some even stabbed them with spears with iron points at the front.
The Aceh people in the water laughed loudly at the blood splashing out.
The elite of the Acehnese were twenty galley warships and twenty East Asian sailing ships equipped with artillery.
This was the support the Acehnese received after asking for help from the Ottoman Sultan in Constantinople, as well as some match ropes. gun.
Together, they surrounded the first lucky boat.
The commander of the Fu ship was Zheng Zha.
He looked at the Aceh warship, which was more than one story shorter than the Fu ship, and snorted coldly.
As soon as he waved the flag, the ship's twenty-four-pound cannon began to roar, hitting the mast of the leading rowing boat, and then the sails burst into flames.
Aceh's East Asian-style sailing ship also began to fire artillery, and black solid bullets flew towards the lucky ship, but fell unwillingly into the sea.
Zheng Zha said in surprise: "They also have artillery.
Hurry, attack the warships with artillery first."
There were many windows exposed on both sides of the Fuzhou, and the black hole oil gun muzzle protruded from inside.
The shells fired by the eighteen-pound cannon flew towards the surrounding East Asian sailboats, hitting one, and a large fire broke out.
The paddle sailing ship was more flexible than the East Asian sailing ship.
When the two parties were shelling, they finally arrived next to the lucky ship.
Aceh's naval warfare tactics were learned from the Ottoman Empire, and its key idea was to fight in gangs.
As soon as they approached the lucky ship, many sailors bit their knives, nailed the lucky ship with hammers, and began to climb up.
There was a whistle on the Fu ship, and a group of guards quickly rushed to the side of the ship, holding firecrackers and firing downwards.
At this time, a group of musketeers appeared on the paddle boat and started shooting at the Ming army on the boat with matchlocks.
Upon seeing this, the commander of the Ming Army shouted: "Pay attention to protecting your head and give priority to shooting the firearms soldiers on the opposite side."
Matchlock guns have a short range, slow rate of fire, and poor accuracy, but a larger number can also pose a certain threat.
The Ming army paid the price of five injured and knocked down about a hundred matchlock soldiers on the ship.
At this time, some Acehnese people had climbed to the deck.
Some of the Ming army fired with muskets, and those who were close stabbed them with bayonets and drove them into the sea.
Soon more Ming army warships came over.
In front of the Ming army's artillery, Aceh's East Asian sailing ships suffered heavy losses.
Of the twenty gun ships, except for one that was hit by a cannonball on the side, there was no problem.
The other gunboats suffered major damage, either their masts were broken, or their decks caught fire, and they fled the battlefield in embarrassment.
When the Acehnese saw that the Ming army warships behind them were not as tall as the Fuchuan, at most they were only five or six feet taller than the Acehnese ships, they gave up climbing on the Fuchuan and moved closer to these gunboats.
The three-masted gunboat quickly opened fire on the approaching Acehnese warship, but it could not withstand the large number of Acehnese ships.
Finally, a ship approached a three-masted gunboat.
The Acehnese were so excited that they took the springboard and rushed to the Ming army's ship.
Take a ride.
The Acehnese screamed and rushed over.
The Ming army wanted to lift the gangplank, but found that nails were firmly nailed to the ship, making it impossible to move.
The commander directed the soldiers to retreat, hoping to distance themselves and use the advantage of the muskets to deal with them, but this was exactly what the Acehnese wanted.

They waved their weapons and jumped onto the Ming army's warship.
The Acehnese jumped onto the open boat one after another.
The commander then realized the mistake of retreating.
He ordered: "Use bayonets, move forward slowly, and do not apply medicine."
After speaking, he held a blazing gun and fired at an Acehnese in front.
Stab through.
This was the first time that the Ming army encountered gang-hopping in a naval battle.
In the past, the battles were solved with artillery, so it was hard to adapt to it.
However, there were already pirates under Yan Siqi in the navy, and they often jumped into gangs to rob.
Under their leadership, the Ming army also fought frequently with the Acehnese, but casualties inevitably occurred.
Zheng Zha soon discovered this problem.
He ordered the guards to use flags to notify each ship: "Try to use artillery to repel the enemy ships.
If there is a gang-joining fight, the enemy will not be allowed to board the ship."
The mistakes of one or two Ming army ships did not change the overall disadvantage of the Acehnese.
The Ming army's ships were stronger and taller than the Acehnese, and the power of the artillery was far better than that of the Acehnese's small and slow solid projectiles.
The lethality of blunderbuss and bows, arrows and knives is naturally incomparable.
After two hours of fierce fighting, the Acehnese finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to retreat.
But where can they retreat to?
The Ming army followed the escaped Acehnese ships to the old port.
The Acehnese launched another suicide attack.
However, the Ming army had learned their lesson and would not let them get close to the warships at all.
The artillery set fire to the Acehnese ships coming over one by one.
The topography of the Old Port is a bit strange.
It is funnel-shaped.
There is a large number of Ming army fleets blocking the outside.
The Aceh ships inside are constantly compressed, and finally they are crowded together and cannot move anymore.
The Scimitar, Star and Crescent flag on one of the tallest ships in the Aceh fleet was lowered, and a white flag was raised.
Zheng Zha smiled and said: "Have you finally surrendered?"
He asked the Johorese people to come forward on the ship to shout, asking the people in Aceh who could make the decision to come to the Ming army's flagship to discuss the surrender.
The next day, the Aceh people took a small boat to Zheng Zha's flagship.
After being introduced by the Johor people, the person who came was Uluo Balang from the old port, which was roughly equivalent to the meaning of the Lord Hou.
Zheng Zha said: "Can a marquis make the decision?
Why don't we go to Greater Aceh and let their Sultan negotiate?"
The Johor man said: "General Zheng, Greater Aceh is still far away from here.
Aceh is different from our Kingdom of Johor.
Their sultan actually does not have much power.
This man is Uluo Barang from the old port, and he is the most powerful person here."
People, the Sultan was also elected by the Ulobalans.”
Only then was Zheng Zha willing to receive this person.
When Wu Luo Balang saw Zheng Zha, he knelt on the ground and said: "Ulia Balang Aurahan of Jiugang is willing to surrender to General Ming and will always be loyal to the Emperor Ming from now on."
Seeing him on his way, Zheng Zha said happily: "Very good, the old port can be put under your jurisdiction.
You send a guide to lead us to Greater Aceh.
We are going to ask your sultan, my Old Port Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty.
Where did it go?"
