Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1992, hit the head

"Your Highness, as expected, they are still stubborn and will not shed tears when they see the coffin."

Soon, the envoy brought back Huang Chong's words.

"fire!"

When Zhu Houcong heard this, without any hesitation, he decisively gave the order to fire.

"Dong Dong~"

Soon, the sound of intensive artillery fire resounded through the sky, billowing gunpowder smoke filled the sea, and shells bombarded targets in the port area of ​​Jindao.

"hu~hu~"

The powerful shell flew at high speed in the air and made a whirring sound, and then exploded heavily the moment it landed, producing a terrifying explosion and terrifying air waves.

"Come on~"

"This cannon is getting more and more powerful. When we were soldiers, the most powerful Miyun cannon didn't have such power."

"Hide it all for me, hide in the bunker, don't go anywhere else, if it is hit by a shell, it will be broken into pieces."

Hiding in the bunker, Huang Chong covered his ears and couldn't help sighing when he heard the terrifying explosion and the terrifying air waves outside.

The artillery is really getting stronger and more terrifying. This reminds them of the artillery attack when they were soldiers. At that time, it was far less terrifying than it is now.

"Dong dong!"

One round after another of fierce artillery attacks, the entire port area of ​​Jindao was covered, and a large number of houses were turned into ruins in an instant.

Accompanied by the attack of artillery fire, Xingguo's battleships and warships began to sail towards the port, preparing to land directly on Jindao and capture it.

It has been investigated clearly in advance that the population of the entire Jindao is only over 1, of which less than 3000 are young and strong, and this time Xingguo directly sent an army of 15000 people to attack Jindao. Prepare a large number of advanced new cannons and muskets.

This kind of strength is enough to easily capture this golden island without any suspense.

However, they underestimated the determination of Huang Chong, Li Meng and others to defend their homeland, and they also underestimated Huang Chong, Li Meng and the retired soldiers of the Ming army.

Seeing the Xingguo warships and soldiers getting closer, they kept holding back and didn't even expose their artillery, just to wait for them to get close enough to give them a head-on blow.

"Fire!"

Waiting, waiting, until Xingguo's warship was very close to the position of the artillery, Huang Chong gave the order to fire.

The cannons that were hidden immediately began to emit fiery flames, billowing white smoke rose, and shells attacked Xingguo's warships one after another.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, a warship was shot directly. The powerful shells tore through the wooden planks on the warship, directly tearing a large hole out, and the torn sawdust shot in all directions like a sharp sword. There was a scream.

Before they could react, other shells came one after another. In a blink of an eye, several shells landed on the warship, tearing the warship full of holes, and there was a fatal gap in it. Surge along the gap.

"Dong dong!"

The counterattack artillery fire was very fierce, as if he knew that he didn't have much time, and if he was exposed, he would soon be hit by the artillery fire of the Xingguo warship.

Therefore, we must seize the time to attack Xingguo's warships.

Because they were very close, several warships suffered directly, and were beaten into smoke in a blink of an eye, and even began to sink into the sea.

"They actually have artillery~"

"Destroy their artillery!"

Zhu Houcong, who was watching the battle from the rear, was taken aback. Fortunately, he didn't go forward, but carefully chose to watch the battle from behind. Otherwise, if the Daxing ship was also shot and sank, the loss would be too great.

This is the only steam steel warship in Xingguo, and the most valuable in his hand is this steel warship.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

Soon, fierce artillery fire began to sound from the warship behind, aiming at the artillery position on Jindao, trying to destroy the artillery of Jindao.

It's just that Huang Chong, Li Meng and others were all prepared. They had built strong fortifications and fortifications with reinforced concrete, sandbags, etc. in advance. It was not easy to destroy these artillery.

When the shells hit, they had no effect at all, and could only watch as Jin Dao's artillery kept attacking his warship.

At the same time, at the port, several small warships ran the fastest, transporting Xingguo soldiers and landed quickly towards the port, ready to seize the land in one fell swoop and open up the situation.

It's just that as soon as they landed, they were greeted with an intensive attack like fried beans, which was so good that they could only hastily leave dozens of corpses on the port side and retreat in a hurry.

The soldiers of Xingguo have always been able to bully the aborigines on the African continent. It is very simple to deal with those aborigines. The cannons and muskets are played in turn, and the little blacks who can be beaten directly have no temper.

But when they encounter opponents who also have cannons and muskets, they are completely helpless.

Originally, they were just ordinary people who came here to live a good life. Even if they joined Xingguo's army and received certain training, they were very limited and could only fight with the wind.

Faced with Jindao and these retired Ming soldiers, they were still ambushing and attacking, and immediately felt extremely uncomfortable. They ran away in a hurry after being beaten.

It's just that during the evacuation process, and being taken care of by the artillery from Jindao, it turned out to be like a boat on the sea for a while, swaying left and right, as if it might be destroyed at any time.

"hateful!"

Zhu Houcong watched this scene with a binoculars. He had already logged in to Jindao, but he retracted immediately after shooting.

Look at the defense deployment of the Golden Island, it is really perfect, the layout is extremely reasonable and ingenious, making full use of the geographical advantages of the Golden Island, using reinforced concrete, sandbags, etc. to build fortifications, reasonable vitality layout, which makes Zhu Houcong suddenly felt as if he was touching a hedgehog, and he couldn't get started.

"Retreat first!"

No way, Zhu Houcong could only give the order to retreat first.

All of a sudden, the warships hurried away, but two warships were unable to move and were sinking continuously, and the soldiers on board were jumping into the sea to escape.

Really lost his wife and lost his army, Jindao was not defeated, 2 ships were damaged, and dozens of people died.

"Haha~"

"Win, win!"

Compared to the distress of Xingguo soldiers, the guards of Jindao cheered happily.

It repelled the attack of the Xingguo army with almost zero casualties, and also sank two Xingguo warships. This is a brilliant result.

"It's not that easy to annex our Golden Island!"

Huang Chong said fiercely, just looking at the port of Jindao again, he felt extremely sad again.

The houses that everyone worked so hard to build are now almost in ruins. This is the home that everyone has worked so hard to build with their own hands over the years.

Now it was completely destroyed in one fell swoop, which caused Jindao to suffer a heavy loss. It is unknown how much money and time it will cost to build these houses in the future.

Huang Chong, Li Meng and others were even more annoyed, their eyes were already red.

This Xingguo is really deceiving people too much. It is absolutely unforgivable to destroy the homes that everyone has worked so hard to build.

"Your Highness, people like Huang Chong and Li Meng are really cunning. Their artillery is hidden in strong forts and bunkers. Our artillery does not pose any threat at all. It is difficult to destroy their artillery."

"Once our warships approach, they are easily sunk and damaged by their artillery."

Jiang Ting carefully observed Jindao's fortifications with a telescope, and said extremely annoyed.

"If we attack from the front, our damage may be more serious. We must find a way to strengthen their artillery."

Mao Cheng also nodded and said.

"Can they land from other parts of the island and then attack from land, their artillery is hidden in the island, which also means it is difficult to move, and it is not easy to turn around."

"If we attack from other parts of the island, it may be easy to take it down."

Zhu Houcong frowned, ordered someone to bring a map, and carefully studied the topography of the island.

"Your Highness, it is true that you can land on the Golden Island in other areas, but the other areas are all tropical rainforests, making it extremely inconvenient to march, and you can only land with small boats, and there is no way for large ships to approach."

Jiang Ting said quickly.

"Land from here and here, and then attack the port of Jindao from both sides."

"Small boats are small boats, just land slowly. It is better to open a way out if it is inconvenient to march than to face the attack of artillery fire."

"When attacking the port area, our warships will use artillery to carry out extended attacks to suppress them. When the port is captured, the fort and the like will become useless."

Zhu Houcong studied the map carefully, and soon found two low and gentle areas on it, and decided to choose to land in these two places and attack directly on land.

As for the attack at sea, he doesn't dare now. Damage to two warships is already bleeding. Xingguo itself is poor and not rich. If he loses a few more warships, it will be really serious I can't afford to lose, it hurts my muscles and bones.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the smallest loss to capture Jindao. Since the frontal attack is not enough, attack in a roundabout way. The population of Jindao is limited, and it is impossible to be fully prepared in all aspects.

"Yes!"

When Jiang Ting heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable, and quickly ordered to quickly adjust the direction of attack. At the same time, the warship also sent another round of shelling towards Jindao to express his anger.
