Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 909 The record has to be broken
The heavy howitzer on the bow of the Invincible was the largest of the Ming's existing shipboard artillery in terms of caliber, and the huge roar made the battleship even shake from side to side.

Due to the short distance, when the shell hit, the shell opened a hole in the belly of the small warship of the Netherlands, and because it was a wooden warship, it quickly caught fire with black smoke.

"This... this... you..." The emissary was shocked by the scene before him, and said to himself that what he said just now was good, and he would hit him as he said.

Besides, even if the negotiation fails, at least he, the envoy, must be let back. The ship was blown up. How can he go back?
Liu Hongjian seemed to have thought of this problem, so Qi Yuangong's voice came from the walkie-talkie on his shoulder: "Old Qi, kill the Dutch envoy and launch an attack immediately!"

"Yes! My lord!" Qi Yuangong didn't hesitate at all, and Liu Hongjian immediately heard the Dutchman's wailing through the walkie-talkie.

A moment later, the Ming fleet as a whole approached the Dutch fleet, and the battle was imminent.

"My lord, the Dutch fleet is retreating!" First Officer Bu Jiageng reported.

"Hmph, behind the Dutch fleet is the fort. As long as Lancelot is not stupid, he will definitely not give up the advantage of the fort and confront us head-on." Liu Hongjian said very firmly.

I said in my heart that the Netherlands has always been the king of the sea, but now it is necessary to retreat from the naval battle with Daming. I don't know how Lancelot will feel.

"Then what should we do? As far as I know, no ship has ever won a duel between a ship and a fort since it was recorded." Bu Jiageng frowned.

"This record has to be broken, won't it?" Liu Hongjian said while squinting at Luzon Island.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound from the walkie-talkie on the shoulder, and then Qi Yuangong's voice came out: "My lord, the Dutch fleet intends to hide in the port fort position, and I want to bite directly!"

"Then do it, use the three new ironclad ships as the main attacking warships, target the enemy's fort positions, and the No. [-] Fuchuan will be responsible for attacking the enemy ships."

"Yes! I obey!" Qi Yuangong immediately turned off the walkie-talkie after receiving the order.

"My lord, isn't it too risky to do this?" Bu Jiageng asked.

"Hehe, that's why Qi Yuangong is the commander-in-chief, but you can only be the first officer. Look, you have to have confidence in our fleet." Liu Hongjian said standing on the deck at the rear of the fleet.

The reason why Qi Yuangong was chosen as the commander-in-chief of this attack is that Qi Yuangong has been staying in the Beiyang Navy to specialize in the military industry, and secondly that although Zheng Sen has made great achievements in recapturing Taiwan in later generations, he is just a newcomer in charge now. A young man who is less than a year old.

Perhaps the turret has an advantage in defense, and perhaps the ship-borne guns and turret guns have never had a record of victory before, but it was a wooden ship with solid bullets against the turret.

Now the main battleship artillery of Ming Dynasty is all grenades. Except for the four all-steel poured battleships, the rest of the warships are also covered with steel plates, which greatly increase the attack and defense power. On the other hand, the fort is basically the original brick structure with solid smoothbore guns. .

Luzon Port is a typical open port. There are three forts on the left, right and front. There are more than 210 artillery pieces of various types. The Dutch warship had just entered the port halfway, and the Ming warship following it had already entered the firing range of the forts.

Lancelot was also very depressed. He has been in charge of the Batavia Navy for two years. During the past two years, the Netherlands has always had the upper hand in frictions with Franz and even the English.

The Dutch navy is the pride of all the Dutch, but now facing Ming Dynasty, they are forced to choose as many ports as possible, which makes several generals feel depressed.

But Lancelot believed that these humiliations were only temporary. He didn't think that Ming's warships could enter the port. No one knew the power of forts better than him.

A salvo of two hundred cannons is enough to destroy any warship in the world, even Daming's armored warship cannot escape. Although the first four warships seem to be different from what the information shows, Lancelot Te is still confident.

As long as the four largest warships of the Ming Dynasty are sunk, the morale of the Ming Dynasty Navy will be in turmoil. At that time, it will be possible to cooperate with the Dutch Navy's entire army to charge the fort.

"Mostima, order the turret to concentrate fire on the four big ships at the front!" Lancelot parked the battleship at the innermost position of the port, and immediately issued an order to the turret commander, Mostima.

Lancelot knew in his heart that Daming's artillery had a longer range than theirs, so he had to strike first.

Boom—boom——

Almost at the same time, the fort of Luzon Port and Daming's new ironclad ship opened fire at the same time.

Sixty cannons on the left and right immediately poured out more than 100 shells, and their targets were the four largest ironclad ships in the front.

Boom—boom——

The shells hit the hard steel shell of the ironclad ship, and there was a harsh metal collision sound. The solid shells hit the surface of the battleship, sparks flashed, and then slid into the sea with huge splashes.

"What?" Lancelot stared wide-eyed through the binoculars.

The shells had no effect on the Ming battleship!Lancelot clearly saw that the cannonballs were only scratching the silver-shielded warship into the water, while Da Ming's warship was silent except for a few tremors back and forth.

"My God! Lord Marquis, are my eyesight blurred? Why did I see a hundred shells hitting the battleship without any effect?" Mostima said in shock.

Because the distance was close enough, Mostima was very satisfied with the round of shelling just now. At least one hundred of the 120 shells hit the hull, which is quite impressive data.

But with a hundred shells fired, why does it look like it's tickling the battleship in front of it?

After Mostima finished speaking, he looked at Lancelot, only to find that his boss gritted his teeth with a livid face and didn't speak any more.

After the turret fired a round of volleys, they were nervously carrying out the operation of loading and ammunition. Mostima went to his subordinates and whispered a few words before running to the turret in front of the port.

"Master Qi, the artillery of the fort really doesn't work on our new warship!" Li Wenlong, the first officer of the Mingwei ironclad ship, trotted to report the situation to Qi Yuangong.

"Send the order, the left fort of the target port, salvo from the port side! The starboard salvo to the right fort!" Qi Yuangong ignored Li Wenlong and ordered directly.

The new warship was tested with Dutch artillery when it was first launched. It can be said that the protection specifications are aimed at the Dutch artillery. It is precisely because of this that Qi Yuangong dared to go deep into the depths of the Luzon port.

"Order!" Li Wenlong immediately waved to the second officer.

Boom—boom——

The artillery on both sides of the iron-clad ship Mingwei fired salvos, and the fortresses on the left and right sides of Luzon Port were immediately shrouded in smoke and dust from the artillery, followed by Mingyuan, the third son of Ming Qi, and Mingxing, Wu Liuyi...

More than 200 shells poured on the left and right turrets in a salvo of three warships, and the scene was spectacular.

After a while, the smoke and dust above the fort finally dissipated, and the fort revealed its true appearance after being bombed.

"Why? Why? Why!" Lancelot's hand holding the telescope trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
