Doros and other coalition leaders could clearly see the warships of both sides outside the port through telescopes.
When the allied warships finally approached the Ming Dynasty fleet, the heart that had been hanging all this time couldn't help but relax.
However, at the moment when Doros and others were relieved, they saw clouds of gunpowder smoke filling the air, and the firepower of the Ming fleet suddenly increased a lot.
If the intensity of the artillery fire just now was already very alarming, then the intensity of the artillery fire displayed by Ming Dynasty now simply exceeded the expectations of Doros and others.
With a shake of his hand, the telescope in his hand was almost thrown out. Even so, Doros couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible? Akito's fleet cannot have such dense artillery fire. They don't
It’s possible to do that.”
For the navy, the degree of artillery fire and the strength of the ship mean the strength of the navy's combat effectiveness. It can be said that as the interests of the sea are getting bigger and bigger, several countries are fighting openly and covertly to compete for overseas interests overseas, so the development of the navy is naturally
Very fast.
But even in this atmosphere, several maritime powers such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands were not able to build warships with such secret artillery skills as the Ming Dynasty.
In Doros' view, even if the Ming Dynasty is better than them in naval construction, there should be a limit no matter how strong it is. As a result, when the Ming Dynasty's firepower is fully activated, the intensity of the firepower displayed will really be much greater.
Ross was stunned.
Fortunately, Doros was not a waste. After the shock, he held the telescope in his trembling hands and stared at the sea outside the port.
Above the sea, pillars of water rose into the sky, and the ships were filled with smoke. Many ships were also shot to pieces in the crossfire.
The proportion of battle losses between the two sides was so large that Doros couldn't believe it. He stared at the entire battlefield and found only a few Ming warships with flames rising. However, on the sea surface, the warships of their coalition forces were
There are as many as a dozen ships.
"hateful……"
With a punch, Doros had a look of anger on his face. Even with no experience, Doros could tell by just looking at the situation above the sea that they had lost this battle.
Doros took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, withdraw the troops!"
Regarding Doros's order, not even the generals from Spain and the Netherlands stood up to oppose it. Everyone could see that if the war continued, they would sink more and more warships. If now,
If it can be withdrawn, at least some losses can be recovered.
Doros' order was soon conveyed.
On the coalition flagship, the retreat flag was hoisted. Although the sea surface was a mess, most of the ships on the coalition side could still see the retreat flag hoisted on the port and the flagship.
The coalition fleet, which had been suppressed by the tyrannical artillery fire displayed by the Ming fleet, now saw the retreat flag and had no intention of continuing the fight, and retreated swarm towards the port.
This retreat greatly changed the originally anxious scene. Originally, the coalition had an advantage due to the number of fleets and could barely resist. If not, it would have been impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have several warships hit by bullets and catch fire.
Already.
Yu Dayou was prepared to pay a certain price to severely damage the coalition forces of several countries, but to his surprise, the coalition forces took the initiative to retreat before showing their defeat.
"Hahaha, God is really helping me!"
Seeing the coalition forces retreating on their own initiative, Yu Dayou couldn't help laughing. In Yu Dayou's view, these Western barbarian coalition forces might not be defeated if they persisted, but with this retreat, they were really defeated.
While the coalition forces were retreating, Yu Dayou decisively ordered the pursuit of the coalition fleet.
On the Ming side, a group of soldiers were extremely excited and drove warships to pursue the coalition fleet. The artillery fire covered them like rain. Although not one of the ten shells might be able to hit, they could not withstand the fierce firepower of the Ming's new warships.
Soon during the pursuit, at least a dozen coalition ships were hit. Some of them were directly on fire, while others were blasted with terrible holes by the shells and filled with sea water.
"Fire, fire quickly, and keep these Mingren out of the port!"
Doros' expression changed when he saw the situation outside the port, and immediately ordered the artillery on the port to aim at the sea and fire.
Port Boué is not an important port. Although it was renovated to a certain extent after the coalition forces of several countries retreated to Port Boué, time was tight and the transformation was quite limited. Among the ports, it was the only
Just a dozen artillery pieces.
After all, not all artillery can be installed in the port. Even these dozen artillery, most of them were dismantled from other ports. Otherwise, ordinary ports would not even build forts.
The artillery fire rumbled, water columns splashed on the sea surface, and several Ming ships quickly focused on the artillery in the port.
Immediately, several ships slowed down, adjusted their hulls, and dozens of cannons from several ships were aimed at the artillery in the port.
Suddenly the artillery roared, and dozens of artillery shells were dropped on the head. Even though the hit rate of the artillery shells was not high, the dozens of artillery shells smashed down were more or less effective.
At least two artillery pieces were blown to pieces on the spot, dozens of Western artillerymen were killed on the spot, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke filled the harbor fort.
Before the Western soldiers in the port could react and made certain adjustments based on the first wave of shooting, another wave of bullets hit their heads.
This time, the hit rate was significantly improved. Amidst the screams, the original dozen or so artillery pieces turned into a sea of fire, and bursts of explosions of artillery shells were heard. It was obvious that the shells stored on the fort were detonated by the shelling.
Seeing that more than a dozen artillery positions turned into a sea of fire, Doros and others looked very ugly, but they had no choice but to pray that the warships that frantically fled back to the port could enter the port smoothly.
If you look down from the air, you will find that hundreds of ships are crowded crazily towards the port above the sea, and some fleets even collided, while behind them are numerous warships shelling continuously.
.
One after another, the warships were hit, caught fire, and sank. The short distance of a few miles was just a matter of time, but to these fleeing warships, it was the difference between heaven and hell.
A short but brutal naval battle started quickly and ended quickly. From the outbreak to the end, it only lasted about an hour.
After collecting the battleships and doing some statistics, it was found that the Ming Dynasty had almost five battleships sunk, and more than a hundred soldiers were killed or wounded. Compared with the losses of the coalition forces of several countries, this loss was really minimal.
In the port, Doros looked at the dozens of captains standing in front of him in great embarrassment. The captains of all the warships that had escaped back to the port were here.
Originally, hundreds of warships and more than a hundred captains were so majestic, but now, each one of them has their heads drooped, with a look of dejection on their faces, which makes people unable to lift their spirits at all.
Looking at the captain who was missing at least half, Doros felt his heart bleed. He never dreamed that just a simple confrontation would cause them to lose so many battleships.
A total of fifty or sixty warships were sunk. Even if it were divided among the three countries, there were more than twenty ships and a dozen less ships. It could be regarded as a great defeat.
The Battle of Bue Port completely discouraged the coalition forces of several countries. In the following days, faced with the provocation of the Ming fleet, the coalition forces of several countries cowered. No matter how provocative the Ming side was, the coalition forces stayed in the port.
There is no way to get ahead.
If the number of artillery shells carried by the fleet were not enough, Yu Dayou would definitely order the bombardment of the port so that these Westerners would never be able to get out of the port.
However, Yu Dayou was not without options. He directly ordered some ships to block the port, and at the same time, some warships carried large troops to land elsewhere.
When the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed into the port from the side like tigers in the night, Grand Duke Doros and several senior leaders of the coalition forces, who were resting in a castle in the port, received the news and subconsciously thought that it was a fake messenger.
Spread military information.
It was only when the shouts of killing from the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came that Grand Duke Doros and others realized that the Ming people had really landed.
In a one-night raid, even if the Western Yi Allied Army had tens of thousands of soldiers, it was a pity that during these few days, the morale of the Ming side was high, and the Western Yi Allied Army, which could only hide in the port and be a coward, naturally also
There is no morale to speak of.
Tens of thousands of coalition soldiers were disarmed and followed the Ming soldiers into the barracks obediently, becoming prisoners of the Ming Dynasty.
Such a big movement in the port naturally alerted many ships parked in the port. The alert ships sensed that something was wrong and rushed out of the port with their warships.
More than a dozen warships rushed out together. Although the port had already been blocked, facing the impact of more than a dozen warships, the Ming fleet responsible for blocking naturally launched a frantic bombardment.
Amid the smoke, only two of the dozen warships finally escaped.
At this point, the Port of Bue had completely fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, including nearly twenty warships and tens of thousands of captive soldiers who had not had time to escape.
In the castle, Yu Dayou looked at Grand Duke Doros and more than a dozen high-ranking officials of the coalition forces who were in a state of embarrassment but with a bit of nobility.
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Jiao Yuan, who was sitting aside, glanced at Doros and others, slowly unfolded a painting and said, "Everyone, have you ever seen this person?"
This portrait is none other than that of Chu Yi.
