Chapter 832 Landing in Lavage
“Woo woo woo woo…”
As the desolate and rapid sound of the horns sounded, many soldiers from Luzon, dressed in dishevelled and panicked, emerged from all over the place in chaos.
Some of them were sleeping in their houses, some were chatting and spanking with women on the dock, and some were having breakfast. After hearing the sudden sound of trumpets, many people stood there on the spot.
For these lazy Luzon natives, urgent gatherings do not exist. Many people have eaten military food for their lives and have never heard of this horn sound several times. Now, when they first heard the horn sound, many people were stunned for a while, and then they ran towards the place where the horn sounded.
It was almost ten minutes later that more than 300 soldiers had assembled. Looking at the chaotic soldiers in front of him, Perot was really angry and wanted to get angry, but when he thought of the enemy, he suppressed his anger and ordered the soldiers to hurry to the dock to set up defenses.
In fact, it is better to say that it is a lineup than to say that it is a correct lineup. For Luzon, they do not have noble things like crossbows and catapults, not to mention artillery, which only exists in their dreams. Their only long-range weapon is the bow and arrow in their hands.
However, most of the bows and arrows in Luzon soldiers were made of bamboo, with a range of sixty or seventy steps at best. Not only was the close shot, the power was also very unsatisfactory, and at best it could kill the armorless person.
On the deck of the Qingyuan, the flagship of the Second Fleet, Liu Xiang pointed to Yang Feng beside him and said, "Marty, look, the Luzon soldiers on the shore have begun to set up defenses!"
"Yeah, I saw it!"
Yang Feng looked at the soldiers of Luzon who were running around like headless flies on the pier, smiled contemptuously, turned his head to Liu Xiang and said, "These Luzon monkeys are really brave. They ordered the warships in front to launch a round of artillery bombardment on the pier, so that they can taste the taste of artillery."
"clear!"
Liu Xiang immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order.
As the order was issued, a fourth-level battleship located in the front of the fleet immediately began to turn, and the upper shield on the starboard side was removed, revealing black holes.
"Prepare... let go!" An officer stood in the cannon warehouse and shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Accompanied by a thick white smoke, eighteen-pound shells flew out of the cannon chamber, drew an arc in the air and landed near the dock.
"boom……"
A projectile hit a wooden house less than twenty meters away from Perot. With a shrill scream, a large hole as big as a table was immediately added to the house.
The kinetic energy of the projectile that penetrated the house had not completely disappeared. It hit a huge coconut tree nearby and then bounced back. Finally, it slowly rolled in front of Perot, who had been stunned by this scene.
Looking at the still steaming projectile slowly stopped in front of him, Perot's heart was beating wildly. The projectile had been dyed red by blood, and a smell of blood rushed straight into his nose.
He turned his head and looked around and found that the soldiers who were originally standing in a row of ready to face the enemy had already disappeared. Only more than a dozen incomplete corpses were left behind in the huge dock. Seeing this scene, Perot's entire body began to tremble. Only then did he realize how overestimated the order he had just ordered to resist.
"This is artillery...Isn't this something that only noble whites would have? When did those Ming people also own artillery?"
Not only Perot and his soldiers were scared by this round of artillery, but also the merchants and sailors on the dock. Listening to the sound of thunder-like cannons coming from a distance, looking at the projectiles raging on the dock, many merchants were trembling with fear, but only some merchants were not scared, but became excited.
At this time, the fleet was already very close to the dock. As long as people with poor eyesight could see the flag on the mast, a guy jumped up in excitement, pulled Manager Li's arm and shouted: "The Manager is our warship, our Ming Dynasty warship!"
Manager Li was also as calm as usual, and his face was flushed with excitement: "It's our warship, our Ming Dynasty warship has finally arrived!"
For many years, since the death of the eunuch of the Three Treasures Zheng He and the Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, the big turbans who only know how to fight in their nests have encouraged the emperor to re-engineer the stricter sea ban. The once invincible navy gradually declined and even died.
For more than two hundred years, the Ming Navy has gone to the Southeast Asian country to inspect, but in the end it has become a grain transport team that can only walk in inland rivers. So the merchants of the Ming Dynasty have no confidence in the overseas countries. Look at it now, even tax officials from the Luzon State like Perot dare to oppress them at will.
Looking at the soldiers and merchants of Luzon on the dock fleeing in the artillery fire, Yang Feng snorted coldly and said to Liu Xiang: "Let the warships in front be on the dock, put the soldiers ashore, and other warships cover the surroundings. If they are not honest, they will swear."
"clear!"
Liu Xiang was also so excited that her face turned red. She said that she had been here in Nanyang before, but at that time she was a pirate, but now she is different. Now she is the deputy admiral of the Ming Dynasty's navy, and her identity is very different.
"Dong..."
The heavy hull slowly docked on the dock. The sailor who had already prepared on the deck threw the thick Range Rover on the dock. Another sailor who had already rowed a boat to get ashore first picked up the Range Rover and put the cables onto the cable piles, firmly connecting the battleship and the dock.
After the warship was firmly in place, several wide decks extended from the warship to the dock. A sergeant wearing a green military uniform and holding a musket quickly came from the warship to the dock.
Looking at the soldiers rushing towards the dock like a tide, the hiding merchants and soldiers from Luzon could not help but be scared and pale. No one would naively think that these soldiers from the Ming Dynasty came here to relax.
Perot on the dock was holding a scimitar and stood on the dock with a sallow complexion. Only two confidants were left beside him, and the other soldiers had long disappeared.
The people on the dock had already run away, with only a few bold merchants left.
Looking at the dock, only Perot and two soldiers had weapons in their hands, so naturally the soldiers who came to the dock surrounded them.
Looking at the soldiers surrounding them and the bayonets with cold light flashing on their muskets, Perot no longer had the arrogant expression he had treated Store Manager Li just now. He asked with a sallow face and trembling, "Who are you... who are you? Why did you invade my Luzon?"
"Bang!"
There is only one butt stock that answers him.
With a muffled sound, Perot, who had been hit by a butt, turned black and fell to the ground.
