I don't know how many rounds of shelling have been carried out, and more than 1/3 of the ammunition reserves in the warship have been consumed, and at this time Lai Jichen is thinking about whether it is time to send troops for land operations.

According to the cognition of the African aborigines and Indian Asans who attacked in the past, the Ming natives in Bengang should have been scattered and fled at this time, at least the idle and scattered artillery fire in Bengang can be a clear proof, and the counterattack force in Bengang is obviously insufficient at this time.

It's just that what makes Lai Jiechen suspicious is that so far he has not seen too many Ming natives fleeing in the rout in Bengang, although there are also a few Bengang people crying and shouting, shouting for help and dodging artillery fire everywhere, but compared to the dense houses in Bengang, this point of people is still a little not enough!

"Maybe the other party saw the ferocity of our Dutch fleet and ran in the opposite direction!" Lai Jiechen can only comfort himself in this way, but he is not 100% sure that after three days of fierce battle with Hongtang in Jilong Gang, Lai Jiechen is still very sure and admires the fighting will of Hongtang soldiers from the perspective of a soldier.

"Keep shelling, and hit me again wherever I haven't been bombed!" In the end, Lai Jichen still gave the order for the shelling with great caution, not sparing the cost of ammunition replenishment, nor did he want the warships and sailors to have too much consumption.

Of course, there is no such thing as a large number of Bengang warriors found so far, which makes Lai Jichen very uneasy, he doesn't believe that such a rich and huge town is almost the size of a small city in Europe, and Hongtang will not send heavy troops to guard it, even if he knows that at this time, there are four or five thousand Hongtang soldiers roaming and gathering there.

"It's really 0 milk, it's endless, how long has this artillery fire been pulling, and they are not ready to send troops into the town, this is too bold!" Wu Hu squatted behind a ruined wall and muttered quietly.

"Hey, people rely on sharp artillery fire, otherwise where would they dare to attack our stupid port with such a few warships!" An Xianguo patted the dust on his head and replied, his hearing is really sensitive, even if it is so noisy around him, he still hears the complaints in Wu Hu's mouth.

"But the problem is, if it continues like this, our stupid port residential area will be completely destroyed in their hands, and even if we repel their bastards when we turn back, we will rebuild this town, and I don't know how much energy and money it will cost!" Wu Hu also looked gray-faced, with a thick layer of dust on his head.

"Huh!" An Xianguo smiled bitterly and turned his head and pointed at the scattered members of the defense team behind him: "Don't say it so far, look at these team members behind me, no matter how big it is, I'm afraid that when the red ghost comes ashore, there are few people under my hands who can pick up knives and guns!" ”

During the prolonged shelling, dozens of pounds of shells fell from the sky and smashed into large areas of houses and buildings, and although the coalition soldiers, soldiers of the Public Security Bureau, and defense personnel took refuge in the concrete buildings, many members of the team were still blown into pulp in the shelling, or their bodies were torn apart and scattered in all corners, and some were buried alive in the collapsed houses.

The soldiers of the Public Security Bureau are okay, most of the backbone are elites drawn from Hongtang, and they have a clear understanding of the ferocity of the artillery fire, although the Dutch wait for the artillery fire to be a little more ferocious than the Hongtang artillery fire they are familiar with, but they can still hide firmly in the corner, behind the obstacles, quietly waiting for Wu Hu's command.

The coalition soldiers are not too bad, training in Bengang, it is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, after seeing the working principle of artillery, and no longer superstitious that it is the creation of the gods, the artillery will naturally not be as afraid as it was at the beginning, although it is also moved at this time, but under the long-term tribal combat training of life and death, he can still lie on the ground with a pale face, covering his ears and staying aside.

Only the defenders, as the largest number of Bengang, but they have the worst combat strength, although they were aroused by An Xianguo at the beginning of the war, but at this moment, in the continuous fierce work of the mountain-like artillery fire, they were once again exposed in their original form, scattered and fled, trembling and distracted, stunned and dazed abound, An Xianguo finally organized nearly a thousand defense members, under this continuous bombardment, now there is no one in ten, only the two hundred trembling soldiers behind him.

Looking at the group of soldiers behind An Xianguo who seemed to have lost their souls, Wu Hu patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "It's really hard for you, pull out such a group of courageless goods, when the artillery battle is over, don't lead people to fight, go and get your manpower back first, as a reserve team for us!" ”

"What do you say, Battalion Commander Lachok?" Talking about this, Wu Hu turned to the side and asked about Lahok, who was still calmly paying attention to the front of the dock.

"I'm okay with that!" Lahok's deep voice rang out.

This was the first time that Lahouk had fought an enemy other than Hongtang, and he had experienced too many battles between the natives, and on the surface it seemed that Lahouk was indifferent, but in fact the shock in his heart was indescribable.

Lahok didn't expect that the battle outside was so fierce that he didn't even see the enemy on the opposite side, and where they were, the H soldiers they led were already like a ploughed land, and there was a mess everywhere.

It was only then that he knew that Bengang Hongtang, which was the most powerful in his opinion, had also been beaten and could not be beaten, and it turned out that when the number of artillery fire reached a certain scale, the power displayed was so earth-shattering, comparable to the might of the gods.

At the same time, he was also grateful, fortunately, at the beginning, Hongtang Li Tian raised them, and did not use such powerful artillery to conquer their natives, although Hongtang also used a few small cannons during this period, but it was more of a deterrent.

"Attention, looks like they're ready to land!!"

Lahok, who was full of thoughts in his heart, suddenly noticed that the strong boat in the opposite river had put down a few pedals, and a lot of figures appeared on the deck of the sea boat, and hurriedly shouted to Wu Hu and An Xianguo.

In fact, there is no need to remind Lahouke, Wu Hu and An Xianguo, who were chatting in the bitter mood, also noticed the abnormal movement on the opposite sea ship at the same time, and couldn't help but tighten the long knife in their hands: "Hey, I finally can't wait to go ashore, it's time for them to see the skills of our soldiers!" ”
