When the dense rain of bullets flew towards the two sad battleships, the two captains gave the order to counterattack in despair. But their shelling could not even touch the skin of the opponent!

Two against a hundred.

Moreover, they are engaged with a powerful opponent who has an absolute upper hand in terms of the quality of officers and men, morale training, the number of warships, the advantage of battle positions, the number of guns, and the quality of warships. Their fate can only be a cup on a coffee table.

After all, these two ships were well-constructed and high-quality warships. Even after being hit by hundreds of shells, it was still stubbornly tilting and sinking, trying to buy more time for the sailors on the warship to jump into the sea and escape.

It's just that high-flying shells carry huge kinetic energy and heat, and when they hit a wooden battleship, they will cause a fire. And now the number of hits is so great that in a very short time these two battleships were turned into huge torches burning at sea.

Especially the huge mast and sails! Once ignited by the fire, the horror of the burning is enough to make everyone despair! Thick black smoke from the intense burning covered a large area of the nearby sea. From a distance, it looked like the gates of hell were slowly opening.

From time to time, sailors on fire screamed and jumped into the sea from the slowly sinking torches, but their fate was even more miserable.

The huge, burning warship produced intense heat. The temperature of the nearby sea water is evaporated in a very short time. The sea water near the warship has become boiling water!

The boiling sea water was as hot as a boiling kettle. No matter if the sailor jumped off the ship to survive, he couldn't escape the miserable end of being cooked alive in the boiling sea water in a short time!

By the time the artillery battle lasted less than twenty minutes was over, the wrecked sea area with a huge whirlpool was as miserable as nine hells!

Countless sailors were scalded by the scorching sea, and the sailors with their skin peeled open were carrying and floating. There was a disgusting, strange smell in the air!

Both the attackers and defenders were shocked by the tragic scene. There was a brief silence on the battlefield.

"Ahh Sneeze!! Gao Yang, who was standing on the Qinglong and holding a telescope and indifferently observing all this, suddenly sneezed several loud sneezes one after another!

He put down his binoculars and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth. Gao Yang frowned and asked the origin, "Did you scold me?" ”

The origin point who was stunned by Gao Yang's question shouted with absurdity: "I have nothing to do, what are you scolding?" ”

Gao Yang rubbed his somewhat red nose and looked at the officers with serious expressions around him. He whispered, "I'm in such good health, and I don't have a cold." How do you sneeze? ”

"Can we be more professional?" The origin said helplessly, "You are on the battlefield now." Don't dwell on this kind of thing, okay? Come on. ”

Gao Yang pursed his lips and picked up his binoculars again to look at the Dutch warships with only the masts still exposed. The corners of his mouth outlined a smug smile, and he said, "Can you occupy such a large territory at this level?" There's enough madness in this world. ”

"It's a good thing for you that your opponent is weak. It's going to reduce the losses of the great lads. Now that the Dutch fleet is gone, it's time to board 6, right? Origin said aloud.

Gao Yang nodded with a smile, looked sideways at the many officers on the side, and said loudly, "Order the fleet to enter the harbor, cover the transport ship, put down the 6th team, board the 6th battle, and fight." ”

The new sergeants who will serve in the Navy this time will be reorganized into the 6th Sentai Team under the name of the Navy. Specialized in overseas operations and territorial development.

With the flagship's order, a team of dhow clippers escorted several transport ships loaded with 6 fighters and supplies and equipment into Heliao Port.

The port is not large enough to accommodate so many ships. Gao Yang could only use the ant moving method to send the army ashore little by little. Anyway, now the Dutch no longer have the ability to fight back, so it is regarded as an armed exercise.

And the Dutch defenders in Provencha Castle could only watch the actions of the Ming army. Because their artillery can't reach it!

As for rushing out to fight back. Look at the ships on the sea that are full of cannons! The mercenaries of these companies don't have the courage to brave the fire and leave the castle that provides them psychological comfort to fight!

......

"God! Oh, God!! Oh, God!!! The Governor, who was still half-naked, trembled and held on to the battlements of the castle. Hold your body so that you don't fall to the ground because your legs are weak.

The misty morning gave him images that were so horrible that he couldn't believe what he was seeing. How could there really be such a huge and terrifying fleet in this world?!

Even the Spanish Armada a hundred years ago was numerically comparable to the huge fleet in front of it. However, the two sides are not at all opponents of the same level in terms of quality.

The vast majority of this fleet in front of him are huge warships in the true sense of the word! It's completely different from the Spanish fleet that uses Galen ships and armed merchant ships to replenish their fleets!

"Quick!" His lips were bitten and bleeding, and the governor grabbed a terrified mercenary beside him. It doesn't matter if the mercenary, who appears to have distinctly Sardinian characteristics, understands his Amsterdam dialect. Shaking the mercenaries in a fit of rage, he shouted loudly, "Send messengers to the castle of Geranza and ask them to send a clipper back to Batavia." Tell Governor Cohen that we've been devastated in the Chief! Let him immediately send powerful reinforcements over, and !! immediately ”

Although there are still a few small Dutch ships in the harbor outside the castle. But let's not say whether these ships can sail to the distant Spice Islands. How could the enemy fleet, which had already begun to enter the port, let them out!

In the days when there were no mobile phones and the Internet, I wanted to go from the big man to the headquarters of the East India Company in Batavia to report the news. The only way to do this is to let the castle of Geranza, which has not yet been attacked, send a ship back. As for the fact that there are only a few small ships over there that cannot sail far, whether these ships will sink halfway through is not a matter for the Governor of Kuiyi, who is already on the verge of madness, to consider.

If he couldn't get the news out, then he would have to wait for the communication ship that came once a month to see the situation here and then fled back to report it. Wait until that time. It's all late.

As it turned out, the castle of Geranza had indeed sent a boat to Batavia for help. But the Batavia side has not seen a ship from the Captain at all! Governor Cohen still learned from the Portuguese that Dacheng had been attacked by the Ming Empire.

The boat that came out of the castle of Geranza was probably either overturned in the sea by the wind and waves, or it was caught by pirates and became a trophy. It is estimated that the former is more likely. Because the seas of this era were full of pirates.

Huge troops landed from transport ships. Especially on the small harbor with only a few small wooden trestles. That's not a big job. Not to mention. A significant feature of the Ming New Army is that the amount of logistics materials is huge!

Previously, when Tianjin Wei was hoisting goods on a transport ship, several dock workers were not very good at handling and knocked over a standard wooden packaging box with poor workmanship. As a result, after a small commotion, the frightened pale dock porters now contained porcelain plates wrapped in thick cloth!

The porters were completely shocked. Isn't this Nima going to war with the red-haired devils? Why do you still have porcelain plates? Are these people going to war or doing business all day long?!

In fact, these plates were used by the officers of the 6th Squad when they were eating. This is no longer a luxury in this era of logistical difficulties.

Gao Yang has never asked about such small things in terms of logistics and materials. From modern time and space, I took the packed boxes provided by various countries and threw them directly to the staff officers of the General Staff. Let them arrange according to the compilation standards provided by the professionals of modern time and space.

This time, I'm coming. The number of transport ships for the transport of these logistical supplies alone is almost equal to the number of ships transporting troops.

In this era, not only the army of the Ming Dynasty is poor, but the armies of the whole world are the same poor as pants. That's one poorer than the other, and it's no wonder that when the time comes to war, these armies are all as crazy as bandits.

For example, the Ming New Army, an army that is extremely extravagant, is the only one in the world.

The first to board 6 ashore was a group of alert troops. They were armed with muskets. The line of battle with the discharge standard was advanced inward 6 to a safe range of several hundred meters. Then he brandished a sapper shovel to build fortifications.

Next on board 6 were the engineering troops and their engineering equipment. The sappers will expand the entire terminal in order to increase the port's cargo throughput. Because there are so many things for the new army.

A whole day passed. In total, less than 3,000 armed soldiers landed on Dayuan Island. At the same time, they were sent to the big staff, and more of them were their materials and equipment. As for the other sergeants, they could only continue to float on the ship for the time being.

When the setting sun hides itself, night falls, and begins to rule the land. Countless lights were erected on the small wharf in Heliao Harbor. The roar of gasoline motors and the sound of engineering equipment spread throughout the harbor.

The bright lights reflected the busy figures of the sappers. One transport ship after another docked to unload the massive cargo in their own warehouse. The entire pier is lit up as bright as daylight.

The morale-boosting soldiers skillfully used all kinds of engineering equipment and began to expand the port as quickly as possible.

As for the soldiers who were on guard duty hundreds of meters away, after running out of delicious wartime rations. Flares were fired in the direction of the dark woods. Their muskets and mines and alarms planted in front of the cordon will repel any enemy attack! (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
