Chapter 1835: Destroying the Heavens and the Earth The Francophiles set up a number of batteries on the shore, and the soldiers were in the fort, making one last look at the smoothbore guns.
In fact, they are more confident, thinking of the Far East, although they have suffered some losses from the Ming Empire, but for them, others think that it is just a failed sneak attack, and they can only blame the fleet for being too greedy and reckless, and as a result, after landing, they were directly killed by the army of the Ming Empire.
But this time it was different, this time, it was they who waited for their work, not to mention that they had so many victories, and they did not feel too worried about relying on this strong fortress alone.
Even the priest in the field, who was very easy to joke with the soldiers, thought that the governor was making a fuss.
When the gunboats began to approach, the turrets along the coast were also ready, and they were confident that their batteries were not afraid of the other gunboats.
This is not blind confidence, even if the other party's ships have artillery, but because all the ships in this era are wooden ships, large-caliber artillery often cannot be fixed, and even its recoil is in danger of directly destroying the ship, so the artillery of the general ship, whether it is power or caliber, is much smaller than the land artillery, and they are confident that this is the death of the Daming Sailor.
So after the Franco-Rang machine made all the combat preparations properly, who expected to find that the opponent's running ship did not continue to approach, but directly began to turn the rudder, and actually aimed his hull at the land.
This suddenly made people feel deeply puzzled.
You know, this distance, no matter how you calculate it, is really far away, and everyone can't help but have a question in their hearts, are they not going to attack But at this time, with a booming sound, when the gunboats began to fill the smoke of gunpowder, one by one whistling fireballs rained down like a downpour from dozens of gunboats.
Suddenly Everyone was stunned.
The firing range of the opponent's artillery is more than twice as superior to that of the artillery batteries on land.
I saw that the fireball fell, it was not solid, but a roar at any time, booming countless shrapnel flew indiscriminately, flying sand and stones, where the shells passed, the so-called forts and fortresses built up of sand and soil were actually vulnerable, and suddenly began to disintegrate, countless people on the shore, and there were still people talking and laughing, all of them were blown up by the shells that fell to the ground, and the steel balls and shrapnel that shot out instantly hit a thousand holes, and a wave of heat knocked countless people away.
The first round of flying fire, with 100 pieces of artillery, directly destroyed the facilities on the shore and the more than 1,000 Portuguese soldiers who were holding on to ashes.
In just an instant, everything was unrecognizable, some were nothing more than broken walls, and countless pieces of flesh and blood that were broken into slag.
The rest of the people, they were lucky to be alive, but it was as if they were already in hell, either shrapnel was shot into their bodies, dripping with blood and pain, or they were poured on their bodies by countless pieces of minced flesh and blood, and there was no fishy smell, but some were a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke after cooking.
They were completely confused.
The loud noise even made some people's eardrums burst, and they couldn't hear the sound, only their faces were a little dazed and frightened.
You know, for a long time, they have been accustomed to the power brought by black powder, and their understanding of guns and cannons is still at the stage of black powder, but the first time they came into contact with this yellow-colored gunpowder, they suddenly really tasted what it means to destroy the world and what it means to collapse the heavens and the earth.
To everyone's surprise, the second round of artillery had already begun, but this time the target was the port, the wooden trestle, and the port, which were not vulnerable at all.
For the first time, the Portuguese realized that they could not fight back, because the range of the opponent was longer, and more importantly, after two rounds of artillery, the soldiers who thought they were at a safe distance had been completely damaged, and the soldiers were already so frightened that they abandoned their armor and turned and fled.
Immediately after that, one after another, the landing ships began to cruise towards the mainland.
The officers and men of the naval division, sitting on the ship with their spears and cavalry guns, the fortresses and batteries on the shore had been cleared, and then, His Majesty had stopped the shelling, and it was evident that His Majesty did not want to waste gunpowder, and these officers and men, who had been promised a rich reward, began to carry out the first attack.
On the shore, there is no resistance worth mentioning at all, because the Portuguese are only thousands, and under the condition of nearly half of the damage, the natives have run away without a trace, and the rest of the Portuguese, seeing that the general trend has gone, where do they dare to make a second attempt to resist, and as soon as the sailors with spears and spears land on the shore, the Portuguese people immediately collapsed.
The Governor was dragged out, and he insisted that he had surrendered voluntarily, and that he deserved decent treatment in the case of exhaustion, but obviously, the Orientals were more rude, and they didn't care about his aristocratic status, and they didn't care about their way in the Francois Continent, and he seemed very embarrassed, and it really didn't have much to do with decency.
The battle before and after was nothing more than a few tea kung fu, and the damage of the sailor was only a few people who were injured by stray bullets, and some guys who were unlucky because of the landing.
When the land was on land, the signal was raised for complete occupation.
Only then did Zhu Houzhao put down the telescope, and the heart that had been twisted finally became lighter.
He immediately smiled, this is a good start, gave him great confidence, not theoretically, Zhu Houzhao this guy, even if he is a little worried, but at any time, he is full of confidence, this battle, more to give the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division great confidence.
Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate to take his guards to land in a landing craft, and Liu Jin accompanied him.
At this time, Liu Jin's face also looked a lot easier, it turned out to be so simple, but it was a waste of worry, and I thought that I wanted to really come to the battle in person, it seems that this trip to the West is not dangerous.
He was in a happy mood, and his kung fu naturally grew, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, as soon as Your Majesty arrives, this red-haired Francois is rebellious, and he immediately fled, haha Your Majesty is really a martial artist, no, no, no, Your Majesty's merits can be compared with Han Wu Tang Taizong, what are they, have they ever been here to fight Your Majesty, the slave can saddle Your Majesty before and after the horse, it is really a blessing that the slave and the maid have cultivated for several generations." ” Zhu Houzhao faced the sea breeze, looking at the mess, but he was full of ambition, and under this blue sky, only he laughed wildly. aa2705221:
