Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 309 Breaking Their Walls

After Foreman walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he returned to his boat with a gloomy expression.

The ship he was on is now docked at the pier outside the city of Zeelandia. He has two merchant ships in total.

Foreman stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the city of Zeelandia, and said to the sailor behind him: "Let's go, go back, go back to Batavia, I always have a bad feeling."

The sailors on the ship didn't ask why, they directly pulled up the anchor, raised the sail, and headed towards Batavia.

"My lord, there are two ships sailing away from the pier outside the city of Zeelandia, what should we do?" Zhao Daniu rushed into the ship building, looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting in the ship building and was writing documents, and shouted loudly.

Zhao Wen asked: "What kind of ship? Have you spotted us?"

"My lord, it's two merchant ships that just left the pier in Zeelandia City, heading southwest.

Judging by the way they were driving, they probably didn't notice us. " Zhao Daniu replied.

This treasure ship is far away from the city of Zeelandia, and the telescope used on the ship is a telescope from later generations, so Forman's ship can be spotted from a long distance.Therefore, Foreman and others did not discover these treasure ships.

Zhao Wen thought for a while, and then said: "As long as they don't find us, we don't care about the others, just let them go."

"Yes!"

Zhao Daniu yelled, and then rushed outside.

The sun gradually sank to the west, and when most of the sun fell to the sea level, a sea breeze suddenly blew up on the sea.

Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo led 1 people quietly walking on the undeveloped path of Taiwan Yuan Island.

Song Hu looked at the sun that was about to disappear, and said, "How long will it take us to reach Zeelandia?"

"We are now only an hour and a half away from Zeelandia City.

It is also because the road on this island is too difficult to walk, otherwise, it would not take that long. "Mao Chengzuo looked at the road covered with weeds and thorns, his face was full of helplessness.

"Hurry up and send a signal to the adults tomorrow morning. It will be a while if you can arrive early." Song Hu wiped off the sweat from his head, and then buried his head on his way.

The night gradually fell, and a dark cloud floated in the sky, covering the moon, and the whole sea was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Standing on the ship tower, Zhao Wen looked at the extremely dark world. He looked at Zhao Daniu, and said, "Pass down the order and try to reduce the number of lights. Except for the necessary lights, the others can be one less."

"Subordinates take orders!"

……

The night became more and more intense, and the entire sea was extremely calm. The five treasure ships floated quietly on the sea, like five ferocious beasts.

Overnight, dawn dawned in the east.

Song Hu and the others arrived at a location ten miles away from Zeelandia City in the middle of the night last night.

After a short rest, Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo led the more than 1 soldiers and began to assemble.

Half an hour later, several beams of smoke appeared ten miles north of Zeelandia City.

The soldiers standing on the watchtower of the treasure ship Yangwei held up binoculars, looked at the thick wolf smoke, and hurriedly reported the news.

"Since the signal has appeared, let's launch an attack immediately."

With Zhao Wen's order, the five treasure ships moved, and the sound of horns resounded non-stop on the sea.

Five treasure ships that looked like ancient behemoths headed for the city of Zeelandia.

Song Hu and Mao Chengzuo also led the soldiers and began to go in the direction of Zeelandia City again.

Standing on the wall of the outer city of Zeelandia, Governor Putmans suddenly saw a few thick smoke rising from the north, and asked with a puzzled face, "Where is this smoke? Could it be that there was a fire somewhere?" Is it done?"

At this time, he didn't associate these wolves with war at all.

He thought that the appearance of these wolf smoke was because of a wildfire somewhere.

"Who knows? Just ignore him, the yellow-skinned monkeys on this island like to set fire to the wasteland the most during this period of time, what about him, as long as the fire doesn't come over, we don't care about them." Siviri looked at these words Wolf Smoke, said indifferently.

The treasure ship was getting closer and closer to the city of Zeelandia, and the sailing battleship docked outside the city of Zeelandia also found the trace of the treasure ship.

"Look what's that?" A sailor standing on the watchtower of the sailing warship looked at the direction where the treasure ship appeared and shouted loudly.

His voice made the remaining sailors on the ship look back.

"My God, is this a boat? Why is it so big?"

A sailor was lying on the side of the ship, watching the treasure ship slowly appearing behind him, his face was full of disbelief.

Zhao Wen stood on the front deck of the Yangwei. He held up his binoculars, looked at the five sailing battleships on the pier of Zeelandia City, and shouted loudly: "Rush up, after entering the range, the five treasure ships come across, In a straight line, let me bomb the Hongyi battleship in the port first."

Following Zhao Wen's order, the sailors on the treasure ship immediately got busy.

After receiving Zhao Wen's order, the other four treasure ships also started to get busy.

"No, they're here. Judging by their appearance, they seem to be attacking us."

When the five treasure ships began to line up, the sailors on these sailing warships finally realized the purpose of these treasure ships.

For a moment, the sailors on the five sailing battleships hurriedly sounded the alarm.

The left-behind sailors on the ship also hurriedly dispatched troops to spread the news to Zeelandia City.

In fact, it is not necessary for them to pass on the news. When the treasure ships appeared, Siviri, who was standing on the outer city wall of Zeelandia, had already discovered these treasure ships.

"My God, why are these ships so big? Where did this ship come from? Why did it suddenly appear here?" Siviri pointed to the treasure ship ahead, his face full of shock.

Panic flashed across Putmans' face. He looked at these treasure ships and shouted in surprise: "Could this be the treasure ship that Foreman mentioned? How can there be such a large ship in this world?

What is the use of building such a large ship?Are these ships warships?But can such a huge ship run? "

"No, they turned the ship sideways, and they are going to attack the warships in the port." Siviri looked at the overturned treasure ship, shouted, and then ran towards the inner city in panic.

There are too few sailors left behind on these five sailing battleships, and the captain and mate of the ships and other commanders are now in the city of Zeelandia.

A fleet without a commander is a mess and easily defeated.

Xi Wei hurriedly ran into the inner city, trying to gather the captain's mates in the city and the sailors who entered the city of Zeelandia.

However, how could Zhao Wen give him this chance?
When Siviri rushed out of Zeelandia City with the captain's mate and other commanders, the five treasure ships had already lined up completely.

Zhao Wen looked at the sailing warships in the port and shouted loudly: "Give me a full attack, remember, let the gunners avoid hitting, I will capture these five sailing battleships, but don't sink them."

Zhao Wen gave an order, and the treasure ship Yangwei took the lead in attacking.

The 107 rockets on the ship's side, the 120 mortars on the deck, and the 40 fires on the gun windows all headed towards the sailing warship in the port.

Although Zhao Wen asked the gunners to avoid point fire, a few shells inevitably landed on these ships.

Not long after the Yangwei treasure ship fired, the remaining four treasure ships also fired.

The shells on the five treasure ships headed towards the five sailing warships in the port like a gust of wind and rain.

Seeing the five treasure ships roaring non-stop, Siviri froze in place.

"What kind of weapon is this, what kind of weapon is this? Why is the firepower so fierce?"

Not only Siviri, but even the captain's mate and others behind Siviri looked at the firing treasure ship with horror on their faces.

"Whoosh!"

A 120mm mortar shell fell on the deck of a sailing warship, and the huge explosion directly blasted a big hole in the deck.

The fragments and sawdust produced during the explosion flew around the explosion centered on it.

The sailors standing on the deck were instantly blown upside down.

"Bang bang bang!"

Dense shells enveloped the entire port, and shells continued to fall into the water near the five sailing battleships.

The five sailing battleships were in a panic under the attack of the five treasure ships.

The shell exploded on the sea surface, and the water waves generated kept hitting the sailing battleship.

These five sailing battleships were like small boats on the vast ocean, shaking non-stop.

"It's impossible to fight, it's impossible to fight at all." A sailor on a sailing warship shouted, then jumped into the sea and swam towards the coast.

Except for this sailor, the other sailors also jumped into the sea and swam towards the shore.

There is no way to fight back if you stay on the boat now, and if you stay on the boat for a second longer, you will have an extra risk.

There are not many sailors on these five sailing battleships. Without the captain's mate and other commanders, it is almost impossible to organize a counterattack.

Seeing this scene, Putmans hurriedly ordered people to rush to the turret of the coastal defense artillery, and opened fire on the five treasure ships.

There are eight coastal defense guns on the coast of Zeelandia's port, and in addition to these eight coastal defense guns, there are thirty cannons in the bastion.

Fifteen of the thirty cannons were facing the port side, and when the treasure ship started attacking the port, Putmans hurriedly sent someone to control these cannons.

These cannons used by Hongyi are traditional bronze smoothbore cannons of this era, and most of the shells inside are solid iron bullets.

"Give me a full attack!" Putmans stood on the wall of the bastion, pointed at the treasure ship, and shouted at the orderly beside him.

"Oh!"

After a bronze cannon was loaded, the gunner ignited the fuse.

After a few breaths, the cannon let out a roar, and a solid iron ball flew out of the barrel, heading towards the treasure ship Yangwei where Zhao Wen was.

It's a pity that the accuracy of the bronze smoothbore guns of this era is so poor that this shell never hit the treasure ship Yangwei.

Zhao Wen looked at the solid shells that fell in the sea in front of the treasure ship Yang Wei, then pointed at the place where the shells came from, and shouted to the orderly behind him: "Send the order, and change the target of the attack to the city of Zeelandia!" Fort, attack me with all your strength."

For a moment, the attack on the treasure ship stopped, and the soldiers controlling the weapons gradually aimed at the fort of Zeelandia City.

After a few breaths, the weapons on the treasure ship roared again.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The shells roared towards the fort of Zeelandia City.

"Oh!"

A 120mm mortar shell directly hit the coastal defense gun on the coast, and then the gun exploded violently.

The building materials of this era simply cannot withstand the attack of more than 30 catties of high-energy explosives.

At the moment when the mortar exploded, the high temperature generated during the explosion ignited the gunpowder stored in the fort, resulting in a violent explosion.

A black smoke rose from the ground, and the coastal defense battery was blown into ruins.

The gunners inside were devoured by the explosion, and the soldiers in the fort were mercilessly harvested by the explosion.

Not only this fort, but all the coastal defense guns on the coast were destroyed almost at the same time.

Under the absolute strength, any resistance seems to be feeble.

After the coastal defense artillery was destroyed, the artillery fire targeted the bastion of Zeelandia City.

The weapons on the five treasure ships fired at the bastions at the same time, and the powerful power destroyed these bastions one by one.

Under the huge bombardment, the soldiers in the bastion fell into extreme panic one by one.

They had never encountered an attack of this magnitude, never seen such a terrifying explosion.

Putmans looked at the destroyed fort with a look of astonishment on his face, followed by a look of horror.

Siviri looked at the scene on the coast, and hurriedly ran towards Zeelandia City with the people behind him.

At the same time, Song Hu and Mao Chengmei also brought [-] soldiers to a place two miles away from Zeelandia City.

Song Hu looked at the flames rising above Zeelandia City and the successive explosions, and took out the 40 fire from the general, aiming at the Zeelandia City ahead.

"No, someone is coming."

At this time, Putmans also found Song Hu's more than 1 soldiers. He looked at these [-] soldiers and became even more panicked.

"Oh!"

Another explosion sounded, and a bastion outside the city of Zeelandia was destroyed. This was the last bastion. After this bastion was destroyed, all the bastions outside the city had been destroyed by the treasure ship. up.

Under Zhao Wen's attack, the majestic bastion on the continent of Europa was easily destroyed like a piece of paper.

The firepower on the treasure ships put all the attack targets on Zeelandia City. Under the powerful attack of these five treasure ships, the outer city of Zeelandia City was destroyed little by little.

Not only the outer city of Zeelandia, but also the inner city of Zeelandia were also caught in the explosion.

The missionaries, nuns, doctors, etc. in the city kept fleeing in the city screaming in shock during the explosion.

Some people squatted in the corner, hoping to save their lives.

Some missionaries draw the sign of the cross on their chests, hoping to get God's help.

In a short time, the outer city of Zeelandia was completely destroyed, and the surviving soldiers on the outer city ran towards the inner city under the leadership of Putmans.

However, even if they ran into the inner city, could they run again?
Standing on the treasure ship of Yang Wei, Zhao Wen looked at the destroyed outer city, and shouted to the messenger beside him, "Stop the shelling and let the infantry get on."

The artillery fire finally stopped, and Putmans led the remaining soldiers to hide in the governor's mansion in disgrace.

Now all the surviving people in Zeelandia are hiding in the Governor's Mansion.
