Chapter 751 The Battle of Hong Kong Island (Part 2)

The morning glow was as bloody as the sound of fierce war drums. The Jiangxi Army fleet was the vanguard and rushed towards the Western fleet outside Xiangdao Port. Hundreds of artillery on the ship roared and sprayed out hot flames. The shells roared across the sky, and the momentum was quite terrifying.

As soon as the battle started, the Westerners realized something was wrong. The Ming army's offensive today was obviously more fierce than at any time a few days ago. The commander of the coalition army, Pires, said with a look of ugly expression: "No, the Ming army is afraid that it will launch a general attack. Come on, bring all the ammunition."

In an instant, Westerners transported ammunition stored in the inner island warehouse to the fortress by the sea.

Boom boom boom boom...

I saw smoke everywhere on the sea. The Wang Zhi fleet on the left wing and the local garrison fleet on the right wing also began to fire artillery to cover the charge of the Jiangxi army. The fierce artillery fire instantly suppressed the Western fleet. Yu Dayou did not break his promise, and he would not lose any cover he should have.

"Brothers, kill me, let the Yiwu army see how brave our Jiangxi army is. Fire artillery!" Yu Linsheng waved his sword and shouted.

After experiencing the battle to destroy the Japanese, the Jiangxi army's combat power became stronger and the naval combat technology was becoming more mature. The artillery loaded and fired cannons in an orderly manner. The strongmen shouted and rowed hard, and the swords, shields, archers, and muskets were waiting for the dawn. They stared at the enemy ships in the distance with a ferocious expression, ready to leap into close combat at any time.

The distance between the fleets of both sides was getting closer and closer. A Jiangxi Army's Cangshan ship was hit by heavy land-based artillery on the island. The bow of the ship was blown up on the spot, killing and injured a large area. However, the brave Jiangxi Army was fearless and continued to rush towards the Western fleet at full speed.

Boom boom boom boom...

The dense shells poured down, and ships on both sides were shot from time to time, with smoke filling up and flesh flying. Yu Linsheng shouted loudly: "Brothers, Westerners don't have much ammunition anymore. If you rush over, victory will belong to us. Kill me, how can you say you are in vain? If you are with him!"

"Kill!" Thousands of Jiangxi troops shouted in unison, and everyone rowed hard. They were getting closer and closer to the Western fleet, and there were about a hundred meters left.

Yu Linsheng was overjoyed and said with a grim smile: "Both mother and son, let's burn him on the boat."

The order flag soldier on the mast looked at the head was about to utter a flag when a shell roared and hit the mast. The mast fell down. The order flag soldier fell off the deck from the high watch bucket and died on the spot. The mast also crushed and injured several people.

"Fuck!" Yu Linsheng cursed, picked up the order flag and climbed onto the secondary pole and played the flag words. The ten-bow mother ship, which was ordered, rushed towards the Western fleet with a full load of firewood.

Boom boom boom boom...

The Western Fleet obviously understood the intention of the Jiangxi Army. The artillery fire was flooding in a dense area. Two of the mother ships were overturned by the huge waves of shells in the middle of the journey. The death squad on the ship was buried in the sea on the spot.

Finally, eight-beak mother ships rushed to the vicinity of the Western fleet in dense artillery fire, but they were greeted by Westerners' raindrop bullets.

Bang bang bang bang...

In an instant, another soldier on the four-headed mother ship was shot and killed, leaving only the four-headed empty ships that were beaten into sieves floating on the ground without a single battle. One battle was successful and the bones were broken, and victory was always made of corpses.

"Ah--Grass Damn!" Yu Linsheng's eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and his flesh was so painful that he shivered. They were all brothers from Qianhukou. They just disappeared like this, and it was fake not to feel sorry for him.

Fortunately, the remaining four bow mother ships rushed into the Western fleet, and the bows were nailed tightly into the hulls of two Western warships. The firewood with tinder oil immediately ignited a raging fire.

The mother and child ships are divided into two pieces, connected by iron chains in front and back. The mother ship in front is full of firewood and firewood, and the child ship behind is used as an escape. As long as the firewood and firewood of the mother ship is lit, the child ship can untie the iron chain and carry the suicide squad back.

However, the suicide squads on the four-head ship were unable to return. They turned around and drove away not far away and were shot into a sieve by Western muskets. None of the suicide squads on the ship were spared.

"Good brother, good-looking!" Yu Sheng shouted with red eyes: "Roll, don't let the brothers of the suicide squad die in vain."

The soldiers in Jiangxi were thrust bloodily, roaring like a group of wild beasts. At this time, the fleets of both sides had entered the range of muskets. The sound of gunfire sounded immediately. The sharp arrows were killed at the sound of the bowstrings, and the sound of tragic sounds were endless.

The other Ming troops were infected by the bravery of the Jiangxi Army. The Wang Zhi's fleet on the left wing and the guards on the right wing all accelerated and stormed fiercely, and they had the upper hand for a while.

"It's a really strong man!" Yu Dayou couldn't help but blurt out.

The generals of the Yiwu Army, Chen Dacheng and other generals were also in awe. Feng Laoliu scratched his head and said unwillingly: "Boss Yu, it seems that he really wants to let that boy Yu Linsheng get his first contribution."

Su Qingshe shrugged and said, "That's what he deserves."

Chen Dacheng bowed and said, "General, should the whole army be suppressed?"

Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, the Westerners still have enough energy. Look, the island is still carrying ammunition to the front line."

It seemed to be to prove Yu Dayou's words that the Westerners' artillery fire suddenly became extremely fierce, and the land-based heavy artillery continued to show its power, which made the earth shake.

boom……

A heavy artillery landed on Yu Lin's ship, and a big hole was blown out of the hull on the spot. More than a dozen soldiers were shocked and fell into the sea.

"General Yu, it's not good, the warship is leaking!" A sergeant came to report urgently.

Yu Linsheng ran to the hatch in shock and looked down. He saw sea water pouring in from the bottom of the boat with his forehead. The soldiers responsible for paddling were trying hard to block the gap, but the effect was not great.

At this moment, the artillery fire of the Westerners became more and more fierce, and a nearby marshal made several cannons, and it sank instantly. Yu Linsheng was shocked and angry, and at this moment he felt regretful. The artillery fire of the Westerners was so fierce that it didn't look like there was insufficient ammunition.

After another fierce battle, ships of the Jiangxi fleet exposed to the dense artillery fire of Westerners were constantly injured and sunk. Luo Hong, deputy to Qianhu, Qianhu, the Qianhu Office of Qianhu, shouted through a ship: "General Yu, retreat, the Western artillery fire is too fierce to hold back!"

Yu Shenglin was unwilling to stare at the Western fleet that was close to him, but he could do anything. The ship under his feet was sinking little by little. If he delayed, the brothers all had to explain, and finally he could only grit his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

With a command, the Jiangxi army's fleet began to turn around and retreat. Seeing this, Yu Dayou quickly blew the flag and ordered Wang Zhi on the left wing to cover artillery fire of the guards on the right wing. At the same time, the central army also pushed forward, forcing the Western fleet to not dare to pursue.

In fact, the Western fleet was also scared by the fierce attack of the Jiangxi army. They wanted the Jiangxi army to retreat, so they dared not pursue it.

Seeing the Ming army's fleet retreating to the range of artillery, the Western sailors collapsed to the ground with relief. This battle was undoubtedly the most tragic since the war between the two sides, and the most serious casualties.

"His Excellency Pirez, we lost ten warships in this battle, and now there are only thirty bows left. There are still twelve bows seriously damaged and need to be overhauled. There are less than twenty bows that can be fought. The key is that our ammunition is almost exhausted, and we will definitely lose if we continue to fight." Codylon, the leader of the Spanish fleet, shouted.

Pires was also anxious, and he frowned and said, "Your Excellency Cordylon is a little restless. Maybe... maybe we can sit down and talk to Mingjun again."

Charles, a British man, immediately shrugged: "Who will talk? The last time Ronaldo's butt was smashed by them, and he will die of blood when he shits. He has lost half of his life. He suffers from his life. Who dares to negotiate with the barbaric Ming people?"

Rores gritted his teeth and said, "I will go in person this time. I am also an old friend of Xu Jin. I shouldn't even give me any face."

The British spread his hands and said, "Oh, please, Lord Pire, we are hostile parties now. You either die or I die. Will Governor Xu talk about friendship with you? Obviously it is impossible."

Pires actually understood that he and Xu Jin were just a meeting at best, but it was nothing. Even if they had friendship, they were nothing in front of national interests. However, in the current situation, the coalition forces would definitely not be able to resist the Ming army's attack again, not to mention that the coalition forces also needed time to repair damaged fortifications and warships.

Pires said: "There is no way. We need time to take a breath now. Without further ado, prepare the ship immediately. I will set out to meet this old friend now."
