The heavy howitzer in the bow of the Invincible was the largest of the existing ship-based guns of the Ming Dynasty in terms of caliber, and the huge roar made the battleship even sway from side to side.

Due to the close proximity, the shell hit a hole in the belly of the small Dutch warship, and because it was a wooden structure, the warship quickly burst into flames with black smoke.

"This ...... This...... You ......" The messenger was shocked by what he saw, and said in his heart that what he had just said was good, and he would fight whatever he said.

Besides, even if the negotiation fails, at least he has to let the messenger go back, and the ship is blown up, how can he go back?

Liu Hongjian also seemed to think of this problem, so his voice immediately came from the walkie-talkie on Qi Yuangong's shoulder: "Old Qi, kill the Dutch envoy and attack immediately!" ”

"Yes! Rajah! Qi Yuangong did not hesitate at all, and Liu Hong gradually heard the wailing of the Dutch man through the walkie-talkie.

After a while, the Ming fleet as a whole approached the Dutch fleet, and a big battle was about to break out.

"My lord, the fleet of the Dutch is retreating!" The first mate Bu Jia Gengyu reported.

"Hmph, behind the Dutch fleet is the battery, as long as Lancelot is not stupid, he will definitely not give up the advantage of the battery and fight with us." Liu Hongjian said very firmly.

The heart said that the Netherlands has always boasted of being the overlord of the sea, and now it needs to retreat from the naval battle with Daming, and I don't know how Lancelot will feel.

"What then? As far as the lowly knows, a duel between a ship and a battery has never been won by a ship since records began. Bu Jiageng frowned.

"Someone has to break this record, doesn't it?" Liu Hong gradually squinted at Luzon Dao.

The walkie-talkie on the shoulder suddenly made a rustling sound, and then Qi Yuangong's voice came out: "Lord Wang, the Dutch fleet wants to hide in the port battery position, and I want to bite it directly!" ”

"Then do it, take the three new ironclad ships as the main attack ships, target the enemy's battery positions, and the No. 1 Fu ship is responsible for the enemy ships."

"Yes! Obedience! Qi Yuangong immediately turned off the walkie-talkie after receiving the order.

"Lord Wang, isn't this too risky?" Bujia ploughed the road.

"Hehe, this is why Qi Yuan's function is the commander, but you can only be the first officer, look, you have to have confidence in our fleet." Liu Hong gradually stood on the deck at the rear of the fleet.

The reason why Qi Yuangong was selected as the commander of this attack is that Qi Yuangong has been staying in the Beiyang Naval Master and has specialized in the art industry, and secondly, although Zheng Sen has made great achievements in regaining Taiwan in later generations, he is now just a young man who has just been in charge of the Naval Division for less than a year.

Perhaps the battery had the advantage in defense, or perhaps the ship-borne guns and the battery guns had never had a winning record before, but it was a solid shell of a wooden ship against the battery.

Now the main battleships of the Ming Dynasty are all grenades, except for the four battleships poured in steel, the rest of the battleships are also covered with steel plates, and the attack and defense power have been greatly increased, while the fort is basically the original masonry structure plus solid smoothbore guns.

Luzon Harbor is a typical open port, there are three batteries on the left and right sides and in front of it, a total of more than 210 guns of various types, the Dutch battleship has just entered the port halfway, and the Ming battleship following behind has already entered the range of the battery.

Lancelot was also depressed, having been at the helm of the Batavian Navy for two years, during which the Dutch had the upper hand in the friction with Francois and even the English.

The Dutch Navy is the pride of all Dutchmen, but now in the face of the Ming Dynasty, they are forced to choose more than a port, which makes several of his generals feel depressed.

But Lancelot thought that these humiliations were only temporary, he did not think that the Ming warships could storm the harbor, and no one knew the power of the batteries better than him.

Two hundred guns fired at each other were enough to destroy any warship in the world, and even the ironclad battleships of the Ming Dynasty could not escape, and although the four warships at the front did not seem to be quite what the intelligence showed, Lancelot was still confident.

As long as the four largest warships of the Ming Dynasty were sunk, the morale of the Ming Navy would be in turmoil, and at that time, the Dutch Navy would be able to win the charge with the battery.

"Mostima, order the battery to concentrate its fire on the four big ships at the front!" Lancelot parked the ship at the farthest point of the harbor and immediately gave the order to the commander of the battery, Mostima.

Lancelot knew in his heart that Ming's artillery had a longer range than theirs, and he had to strike first.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

Almost at the same time, the Luzon Harbor battery opened fire at the same time as the new ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty.

Sixty guns on the left and right poured out more than a hundred shells in an instant, and their targets were the four largest ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty at the forefront.

Knock knock - knock -

The cannonball hit the hard steel shell of the ironclad ship with a piercing sound of metal, and the solid cannonball smashed on the surface of the battleship, flashing a spark, and then slid into the sea and splashed a huge splash.

"What?" Lancelot held his binoculars and glared at the boss.

The shells turned out to have no effect on the Ming battleship! Lancelot clearly saw that the cannonballs were only glittering the silver battleship into the water, and the Ming battleship did not move except for a few shakes back and forth.

"Oh my God! Lord Marquis, are my eyes spent? Why did I see a hundred shells hitting that battleship and not working at all? Mostima said in shock.

Due to the close enough distance, Mostima was very satisfied with the round of shelling just now, and at least 100 of the 120 shells hit the hull, which is quite a powerful statistic.

But when a hundred shells are fired, how can it look like tickling the battleship in front of you?

Mostima looked at Lancelot after speaking, and found that his boss was blushing and clenched, and did not speak again.

After a volley of batteries, they were nervously loading their ammunition, and Mostima walked up to his subordinates and whispered a few words to run to the battery in front of the harbor.

"Lord Qi, the artillery of the fort really doesn't work against our new warships!" Li Wenlong, the first mate of the Mingwei ironclad ship, trotted to report the situation to Qi Yuangong.

"Order, target port left side battery, port salvo! Starboard to right battery salvo! Qi Yuangong didn't pay attention to Li Wenlong and ordered directly.

The new warship was tested with Dutch artillery as early as when it was launched, and it can be said that the protection specifications were aimed at Dutch artillery, and it was precisely for this reason that Qi Yuangong dared to go deep into the depths of Luzon port.

"Order!" Li Wenlong immediately waved to the second officer.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

The guns on both sides of the Mingwei ironclad ship fired a salvo, and the batteries on the left and right sides of Luzon Harbor were suddenly shrouded in the smoke and dust of the artillery, and then the Mingyuan of the third Ming Qi and the Mingxing of Wu Liuyi......

A salvo of three warships saw more than 200 shells fall on the batteries on the left and right, and the scene was spectacular.

After a few moments, the smoke and dust above the fort finally cleared, revealing its true face after being bombed.

"Why? Why? Why! Lancelot's hand trembling as he held the binoculars, he couldn't believe his eyes.
