Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 726 Anthony Lost Confidence
The sound of explosions is everywhere on the sea, and there are flames everywhere.

After the shells that fell into the sea exploded, a huge water curtain was set off, heading towards the nearby Hongyi ship.

The accuracy of the 107 rocket launcher is not high, but the advantage of quantity makes up for the gap.

Wen Xingran held up the binoculars and looked at the battlefield in front of him, his face was full of sternness.

From Wen Xingran's point of view, these Hongyi are all self-inflicted, even if they are all dead, it is not an exaggeration.

Anthony, who had not yet reached the battlefield, heard the continuous explosions, and his face was ugly.

"What's this sound? Cannon sound? Why does the cannon sound keep ringing, and the sound is so loud?" Anthony looked in the direction from which the cannon sound came, with a look of shock on his face.

Anthony had never fought against Zhao Wen's fleet, nor personally experienced the power of Zhao Wen's fleet, so he couldn't imagine what kind of weapon would have such power.

"The sound of the artillery is so dense? Could it be that the intelligence is false, and the enemy is planning to attack in an all-round way? Otherwise, the sound of the artillery is absolutely impossible to be so dense."

Anthony is still thinking about the artillery of the Wen Xingran formation with the specifications of their artillery firing.

Although someone told Anthony a long time ago that the weapons of Zhao Wen's fleet were powerful, Anthony didn't take it seriously.

The artillery on the sailing battleships of this era is basically a black powder-driven artillery, which takes a lot of time to fire each shot.

Therefore, Anthony has a deep-rooted belief that the number of ships coming to their sea area is definitely quite a lot.

"Damn it, they're lying to me, they're definitely lying to me!" An Dongxi stood on the deck and slammed his fist hard on the nearby mast.

"According to this posture, it is impossible to have only ten ships. If there are ten ships, the artillery can't be so dense. The number of invading enemies is definitely not small."

Anthony didn't believe that there would be such intensive firepower with only ten ships.

"This group of people lied to me, this group of people really lied to me. If there are only ten ships, why is there such intensive firepower? I don't believe that there are only ten ships at all, this is not the power shown by ten ships at all .”

Anthony stood on the deck, looking in the direction of the gunfire and shouting non-stop.

All kinds of sounds from shells, all kinds of strange calls, and screams kept ringing in Anthony's ears.

Anthony began to panic when he heard these strange screams.

Anthony can also be called a man who has experienced many battles, but he has never heard such a strange cry, and he has never seen a cannon sound like this.

Anthony's eyes widened, he looked in the direction of the artillery fire, and then gave an order to speed up. Although the number of ships in Anthony's hand was not many, Anthony thought, go and have a look first, if something is really wrong, just run away road.

Besides, those ships cruising in the nearby waters can't be ignored, at least they have to cover their retreat.

The ships led by Anthony, and the sailors on these ships all looked in the direction of the artillery fire.

These people were a little frightened when they heard the sound of the artillery.

In the west at this time, there were also many large-scale naval battles, but such intensive artillery sounds were rare.

These sailors had never fought against Zhao Wen. In the past, they always felt that the people who escaped exaggerated the strength of Zhao Wen's fleet.But looking at it now, they found that what those people said was not wrong. This kind of density of artillery fire is already a good proof.

But they thought the same as Anthony, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to come with ten ships now.

Not long after, Anthony brought the ship to the edge of the battlefield.

The place where they appeared was at the rear of the battlefield, but when they caught up, they found that many ships had already started to move backwards, started to run away, and started to run for their lives.

These fleeing ships were routed in a panic, and some ships were even crowded together, blocking the escape route.

Now there are flames everywhere on the sea, broken ships everywhere, floating planks everywhere, gunpowder smoke and flames everywhere.

Of the ships cruising in the nearby waters, one-third of the ships were destroyed, and the destroyed ships were emitting black smoke, either burning on the sea surface, being blown up, or sinking.

All in all, the current battlefield is a mess and one-sided.

Anthony stood on the deck, trying his best to see the front of the battlefield clearly, but the thick smoke and fire blocked his vision.

Anthony looked at the battlefield in front of him and kept cursing: "What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on? How did it become like this?
The current appearance cannot be caused by ten ships.Ten ships will definitely not have such a great power. "

Anthony really couldn't imagine that the scene in front of him was caused by ten ships. In Anthony's impression, to create such a terrifying scene, at least more than 40 first-class warships had to fire side by side to do it.

The fleeing ships frantically fled backwards. Even if the sailors on these ships saw the fleet led by Anthony, they did not choose to stop.

Some ships even passed by the fleet led by Anthony, and now these ships are so frightened that they dare not attack Wen Xingran's fleet at all.

The artillery fire is still ringing, and the launcher of the 107 rockets is still making a shrill sound. The 107 rocket flew across the sky and landed on the sea next to Anthony. The huge explosion caused tall water splashes.

The shells exploded continuously on the sea surface, and the explosions set off ripples one after another, and these ripples came towards Anthony's fleet.

Let Anthony's fleet sway, Anthony stood on the deck, looking at the front of the constant explosion, terrified in his heart.

"What kind of weapon is this, and why is it so powerful? Where did these weapons come from? How could there be such a weapon in this world?" Anthony kept shouting, his face was full of dullness, he couldn't figure it out Why is there such a weapon in this world, Anthony has never been exposed to this kind of firepower.

Wen Xingran held up his binoculars and looked at the battlefield in front of him. He had no mercy for Hong Yi.

The ships led by Wen Xingran continued to attack.

Explosions, flames, gunpowder smoke, and planks of broken ships kept appearing on the sea surface. These Hongyi ships were smashed to pieces by Wen Xingran.

The Hongyi kept fleeing backwards, and now they had no intention of fighting.Under the threat of this kind of firepower, they just want to escape as soon as possible, and they are no longer willing to face this kind of firepower.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Anthony knew that the current army had no way to organize an attack and could only let them flee back.

Anthony stood on the deck, in desperation, issued an order to withdraw the troops.

When the order to withdraw troops spread throughout the fleet, the red barbarians fled towards the rear like sheep seeing wolves.

The fleet led by Anthony has been frightened by the terrifying mirror image in front of them.

Gunpowder smoke was constantly filling the sea, and Anthony smelled the drifting gunpowder smoke, his face was full of horror.

"They are so powerful. From this point of view, the content of "Heavenly Creation" is not necessarily false, it may be true."

Anthony exclaimed: "My God, my God, if the content above is true, then what a powerful and terrifying existence this Eastern Empire will be?

God, I can't imagine, this Eastern Empire is really terrible. If the content of "Heavenly Creation" is true, if one day their army goes to the West.Then how should the West resist them, I am afraid that none of those countries in the West will be his opponent. "

Anthony patted his forehead, flustered, his eyes glazed over, and his hands were at a loss.

Anthony didn't believe in the contents of "Heavenly Creation" at the beginning, but the battlefield in front of him told him that the above contents were not groundless.

Anthony sat on the deck dejectedly, patted his thighs, and sighed.

The gradually setting sun, the sun shining on Anthony's body, this sunset is like the last glory of Hong Yi, about to fall into the sea.

At this time in history, Hongyi's national power is in a stage of rapid development. Without Zhao Wen, Hongyi's power in Asia will be further strengthened.

However, no matter who made them meet Zhao Wen, with Zhao Wen's existence, Hongyi's national power, which had developed with great difficulty, would fall like a meteor.

Wen Xingran held up his binoculars to watch the Antony fleet receding away, but did not choose to pursue it.

The main purpose of Wen Xingran's visit this time is to harass Hongyi and let Hongyi have a long memory.Now, Wen Xingran's goal has been achieved, so there is no need to pursue him.

As the setting sun shone on the sea, Wen Xingran cleaned up for a while, and then led the fleet to return.

A few days later, Anthony returned to Ceylon.

After returning to Ceylon, Anthony asked the soldiers to step up the construction of fortifications. In addition, Anthony also asked the fleet stationed in other places to tell them to return to Ceylon as soon as possible.

Anthony was terrified by Wen Xingran's artillery, for fear that Wen Xingran would suddenly appear on the sea and attack them.

At this time, Anthony was like a defeated rooster, and he no longer had the high spirits he had just set off.

Anthony sat in the prefect's office.Looking at the map on the table, I feel ashamed.

Anthony stood up, walked out, and sent someone to find Wheels.

Not long after, Wells came to the office.

Anthony looked at Wells standing in the office, and asked, "How's the translation of "Heavenly Craftsmanship" going?"

After Wells told Anthony about "Heavenly Creations", Anthony asked Wells to start translating.Before Anthony set off, he didn't let Wells go with him, but left him in Ceylon to translate "Heavenly Creations".

"Mr. Chief, there are too many contents in "Tiangong Kaiwu". After I went down, I summoned a large number of people who are familiar with Chinese characters to translate, but now I have only finished translating the first volume of "Tiangong Kaiwu", and I have not yet completed the translation." No proofreading was done," Wheels replied.

"Hurry up and try to translate it in the shortest possible time. I'm sure the contents in the book are true, they are absolutely true!" Anthony recalled the battle that day, and his body couldn't help it shivering.

Although Wells did not participate in the battle that day, he heard it mentioned by others.

"Mr. Chief, I think so too. At the beginning, I thought that many of the contents in "Heavenly Creation" were false. But now it seems that many of the above contents are true." Wheel Si took a deep breath and said with a slightly trembling tone.

Although Wells really didn't want to believe the content of "Heavenly Creation", but the matter had gone so far, it was up to him to believe it or not.

Wells also understands that the contents of "Heavenly Creation" are true and how it will affect them.But it's too late to say anything now, it's useless to say anything, the matter is already obvious.

Anthony slumped on the chair, took a deep breath, looked at Wells with a sad face, and said, "You go down first, and after you go down, quickly translate all the contents of "Heavenly Creation". Translate After coming out, bring the original and translated versions back to the country, let those people in the country have a look, what kind of monster is there in this magical east.

At the same time, let those people in the country decide whether we should give up the land and interests here.Although I know it is difficult for them to accept, but the reality is like this now, if this Eastern Empire is really angered, this Eastern Empire intends to invade us, judging by the strength of this Eastern Empire, we are not theirs at all opponent. "

Anthony's strong and proud self-esteem is now completely broken by Wen Xingran.

Anthony can become the governor, and he still has the most basic strategic vision.

Yiye Zhiqiu, the firepower encountered this time is not acceptable to Anthony, let alone forty or fifty, or seventy or eighty ships of this kind.

Anthony felt that he had no hope of winning at all, so he could only give away the land and interests here.

Although Anthony is unwilling to admit it, this is already an established fact, and there is no way to admit it or not.

Not long after, Wen Xingran led the formation back to Java, to the port of Batavia.

After returning to the port of Batavia, Wen Xingran took the results of this battle to the Governor's Mansion.

After Mao Chengzuo knew the result of this battle, he didn't feel any surprise.The final result must be victory. If it is a failure, Mao Chengzuo will be surprised.

After this incident, Java and the waters near Java have fallen into calm, and some of them seem to have returned to their former tranquility.

However, Mao Chengzuo knew that the real storm was gathering.The longest is no more than one year, and the shortest is no more than five or six months. A big battle will break out on the sea here.
