The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 295 Takeover
It is true that without Sun Jie, Hongyi would be the most powerful force on the surface of the world.

Unfortunately, it didn't come at the right time.

The coachman on the sea will eventually be lonely.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the scene ahead, smiling from ear to ear.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong once fought against Hongyi in Liuluowan, which was known as the "Liaoluowan" naval battle in history.

In this naval battle, Zheng Zhilong invested 150 warships, including [-] gunboats, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

Hongyi dispatched eleven galleons with cannons to join forces with Zheng Zhilong's rival Liu Xiang to start a fierce battle at Liuluo Bay on the southeast coast of Jinmen, Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong finally defeated the coalition forces of Hong Yi and the pirate Liu Xiang.

Although that battle was won, the price was heavy.

The warships on the Hongyi side are basically the main warships, with double or multiple decks, and powerful firepower.

On Zheng Zhilong's side, the number of gunboats is limited, and each boat only has two cannons.

The main reason for winning the Liuluowan naval battle was because it was in front of Zheng Zhilong's house.

Only with the tactics of crowds and constant harassment and attacks did they win the final victory.

The war was won, and Zheng Zhilong suffered such heavy losses that he did not recover for a long time.

Once upon a time, when Zheng Zhilong mentioned Hongyi's sailing battleship, he would be terrified.

But now, all these fears sank to the bottom of the sea along with the artillery fire in front of them.

All fear comes from insufficient firepower.

This is what Sun Jie said to Zheng Zhilong, and he takes it very seriously.

As the armed merchant ships gradually dispersed, the sailing battleships in the port also began to set sail, heading towards Zheng Zhilong.

"Back then, I could beat you, and today, I can still beat you!"

Zheng Zhilong looked at the sailing battleship oncoming and sneered.

"Send me an order, the rockets cover the port, let all the ships, shoot out all the rockets, all covered!"

Gritting his teeth, Zheng Zhilong yelled, took off the hat on his head, threw it on the ground fiercely, and cursed: "Damn it, I can't do enough, let you see what it means to be a heavenly kingdom!"

"Order!"

The voice of the orderly behind him dragged on for a long time.

Standing by the side, the captain, mate, and staff officers dealt with Zheng Zhilong's orders.

In these two fleets, almost every ship has a large number of rockets on it.

After accumulating for such a long time, this time Sun Jie almost made Zheng Zhilong pull out all the inventory.

Truth, only within the range of the cannon.

Intensive bombing can make sense.

A few minutes later, following the first launch of the Chang'an, an iron curtain appeared above the sea.

Two fleets, forty warships, are attacking with all their strength at this moment.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Chi la chi la!"

The shrill cry continued to resound in the sky, and the white smoke burst out, covering the sea, and even the sun could not be seen.

Van Diemen's heart was beating even more violently on the port, and his body was shaking like chaff.

"Oh!"

After a short flight, the rocket fell into the sailing battleship.

An iron rain fell from the sky.

The sound of the explosion became one piece, and the flames continued to spread on the sea.

These sailing battleships in the port are like little chickens at the moment, they can only passively wait for the slaughter.

They wanted to rush out to attack, but the dense artillery fire made it difficult for them to move forward.

Once hit by a rocket, the violent explosion and flames will instantly shatter or burn the sail.

Without power, it can only passively paralyze on the sea surface, becoming a fixed target.

A gust of scorching wind, blowing from the sea, with some bloody smell in it, blew on Van Diemen's face.

His face was like dead ashes, like a concubine in mourning.

Suddenly "rain" began to fall from the sky. It was sea water mixed with flesh and blood. It was blown into the sky by bombs and then fell to the ground.

Flames and gunpowder smoke were everywhere on the sea, making it impossible for him to see the scene on the sea clearly.

Fan Dimen's legs were weak, and he fell directly to the ground, wailing repeatedly: "It's over, it's over, it's over now!"

"Happy, enjoyable, this battle is really enjoyable!"

Zheng Zhilong on the Chang'an looked at the scene in front of him and smiled from ear to ear.

No one dislikes this overwhelming battle.

After fighting for so many years, Zheng Zhilong has never experienced such a scene.

Rockets fired one after another, high-explosive, white phosphorus, etc., like the devil's bloody mouth, swallowing the sailing battleship.

Especially white phosphorus bombs, this kind of ammunition does not make sense when it burns, and it will not stop until it burns everything it touches.

Sun Jie has a base in Africa, and there is no obstacle in purchasing dangerous items such as white phosphorus.

In addition to mining in this era, the white phosphorus needed is completely sufficient.

The wind at sea gradually increased, and a tornado formed of fire and soot was created on the sea.

The fire took advantage of the wind to soar into the sky.

Like a monster, eating people and chewing boats.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and the rocket was finally fired.

Zheng Zhilong held up the binoculars and looked ahead seriously.

Those sail battleships on the sea have not yet finished burning, and the huge smoke still obscures the battlefield.

From time to time, a few escape boats could be seen rushing out of the smoke, and they were greeted by the artillery on the warship.

Sun Jie's order was very clear, that is, no one should be killed.

The fire burned all day and night.

In the early hours of the next day, the flames were finally extinguished.

But there was a smell of burnt meat and burnt wood wafting from the sea.

All kinds of corpses float quietly on the sea.

There were burned and twisted corpses, there were battered corpses blown apart, and drowned corpses were soaked white.

There was a layer of broken planks and sawdust floating on the sea surface, and the corpses were mixed among these broken planks and sawdust.

Broken boards, corpses, and other floating objects gathered and collided on the sea surface under the flow of the sea surface.

Ships passed through these coverings, leaving pathways.

At this time next year, the sea fish here will definitely be very fat.

Looking at the port, the Hongyi soldiers on the port have long since disappeared, even Fan Dimen has long since disappeared.

Zhou Chao and a group of soldiers stood quietly on the deck of the Chang'an, waiting to dock.

Zheng Zhilong stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "I will leave the rest to you. You must obey His Majesty's orders carefully, and don't leave anyone alive. Neither the natives nor the Hongyi here will forgive you!"

"Don't worry about that. After fighting in the country for so long, I have long wanted to see the so-called Hongyi. I want to see how many heads have grown on their necks!" Zhou Chao didn't care the way.

In the army in hand, nearly half of the soldiers have been replaced with 98k.

This was his capital. With these powerful weapons, he didn't take Hong Yi seriously.

The biggest difficulty along the way is that many soldiers get seasick when driving on the sea.

"Okay, if that's the case, then prepare to log in!"

Following Zheng Zhilong's order, the Chang'an and the fleet at the rear all started heading to the port, preparing to land.

The port of Batavia is very large, but the ships that were blown to pieces blocked the port, and so many ships could not be parked at one time.

In order to speed up, Zheng Zhilong asked the unstoppable ships to send the soldiers to the port in small boats.

The power of the Chang'an is so strong that the floating objects on the sea can't stop it at all.

After a short time, the Chang'an docked at the port.

Zhou waved to Zheng Zhilong, and led the soldiers to gather at the port of Batavia.

The gray and black military uniform, the backpack on the back and the gun on the shoulder form one picture scroll after another on the port.

Zhou Chao stepped on the port of Batavia, looked around, and muttered to himself: "I, Zhou Chao, are here!"

Immediately afterwards, the Zhou Dynasty asked these soldiers to be on guard at the port.

Cleaned up all the buildings near the port to prevent an ambush arranged by Hong Yi inside.

In fact, with the development of the matter to the present level, these Hong Yi have already been frightened out of their courage, how dare they set up an ambush here?

The rocket bombs exploded outside the port continuously, and the sea of ​​flames formed one after another, and the smoke after another, had already frightened Van Diemen and the Hongyi soldiers under his command into panic, unable to control themselves.

Before Fan Dimen's order to retreat, those Hongyi soldiers fled away on their own.

Seeing this, Fan Diemen escaped with the help of Putmans and fled to the Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Mansion in Batavia is about four or five miles away from the port, on top of a hill.

The layout of the Governor's Mansion is similar to that of Zeelandia City, which is a typical western bastion.

The defense is strong, and enough food, medicinal materials and fresh water are stored inside.

At present, there are almost [-] Hongyi soldiers.

There were more than these, but it was a pity that they all sank to the bottom of the sea along with the warship.

In addition to the Hongyi soldiers, there were [-] indigenous soldiers inside.

Defending the city has never been an easy task, and Van Diemen must ensure that there are enough people in the city.

These native soldiers were temporarily recruited by Van Diemen to strangle the Javanese people.

The quality of these indigenous soldiers is almost nonexistent.

But now someone is better than no one.

In the office of the Governor's Mansion, Van Dimen made himself a pot of black tea.

The steaming hot tea did not dispel his fear.

Huddled on the chair in the office, shivering like an old man on the verge of death.

Putmans sat across from him, his face was no less flustered than Van Diemen's.

"Now, what's going on in the city now? Can we hold it?! We are far away from the port, and their warships shouldn't be able to fight them!" Van Diemen looked at Putmans.

Putmans said nothing, not a word.

Fan Diemen didn't ask any more questions, and the two fell into silence.

There are churches, hospitals, restaurants and other facilities built in the Governor's Mansion, and there are many Hongyi people who came here together.

These people are now all huddled in their homes, terrified all day long.

Yesterday's gunfire had frightened them a lot. Now that the gunfire stopped, the fear did not disappear.

This small town is full of exotic customs and western-style architecture, which is particularly beautiful here.

However, this beauty can only exist for a moment.

Before long, there was nothing but rubble.

On the city wall, Hongyi soldiers held binoculars and looked towards the port.

I saw soldiers and horses gathering at the port one after another.

There are many warehouses and various shops on the port of Batavia. Before that, it was a very prosperous place, but now it is a mess.

Many of the buildings above the port were blown up or burned by stray bombs flying over, and some buildings were still burning.

For those buildings that were on fire, the Zhou Dynasty did not let people take care of them, and even asked the soldiers under his command to add another fire to the unburned warehouses.

But there are still spices or other jewelry ores in some warehouses that have not yet been transported. Of course, these things were all accepted by the Zhou Dynasty.

Sun Jie came here not just to vent his anger.

Java is a good place. If you occupy it, you will be able to guard the main route from the West to the East.

It is inevitable to win here.

Zhou Chao picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "The first division followed me to the governor's mansion, and the second and third divisions searched all around with the port as the center.

Order, all the barbarians and lowly breeds will not be left alive.Local aborigines, whoever holds a weapon, kill! "

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

……

Batavia is a good place, but the Chinese have shed too much blood here.

Zhou Chao walked along the main road, and encountered many exposed bones on the road.

The undecayed clothes on these bones showed their Chinese identity.

Just like that, they were randomly thrown on the ground, waiting to decay.

The further you go to the Governor's Mansion, the more bones there are.

Zhou Chao's heart was very heavy, and he didn't feel that a big victory was coming.

Those bones were so fragmented that they couldn't even be put back together.

The skull's eye sockets turned towards Zhou Chao quietly, as if asking, "Are you the master of the king?"

To die in a foreign country, to be smashed to pieces, and to die without a whole body, this is the greatest curse.

Hong Yi dug many large pits to bury the corpses.

But there are so many dead bodies that many are exposed.

A gust of wind blew through the woods on both sides of the road.

The soldiers walked forward quietly without saying a word.

Soon, mortars were placed outside the gates of the Governor's Palace.

The Hongyi soldiers on the top of the city hurriedly reported the situation back.

Van Diemen finally struggled to stand up from the office, but instead of going to the city wall, he went to the church.

He knelt down on the ground with a devout look.

May God bless him.

If Sun Jie was here, he would ask, "God, how many teachers does your old man have?"

Putting hope in nothingness is itself a kind of incompetence.

"Oh!"

There was a bang in his ear, which startled Fan Diemen greatly.

Before he recovered, the bombings were connected together like thunder.

His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it: "This, this, where did this run come from? Why, why did it ring at this time!"

I thought it was far enough away from the port that the naval guns couldn't reach it.

Unexpectedly, the death sonata still sounded.

There are cannons on the walls, but the range is too short, and there are forts.

Such an obvious place was destroyed in the first wave of shelling.

"fire!"

Outside the city, the artillery commander pointed at the city ahead and shouted.

"Bang bang bang!"

The cannons rumbled, and countless soldiers on the city wall were killed or injured.

Those native soldiers were the most unbearable. After being killed sporadically, they were defeated.

One by one, they rushed down from the city wall and fled.

All of a sudden, the Hongyi guarding camp was dispersed, and the city wall was plunged into chaos.

These soldiers on the city wall fell into chaos and could only be passively covered by artillery fire.

Some soldiers were under the desire to survive, they didn't care about anything, and jumped off the city wall directly.

The result of waiting for them can be imagined, either they were thrown to death, or they were thrown into disability.

The Hongyi soldiers and the native soldiers on the city wall even had a dispute because they ran for their lives. These people wrestled together crazily, not caring about the current situation at all.

How sad!

Master Hong Yi, who used to be aloof, now looks like this.

What awaited them was one shell after another.

The city gate had long lost its original shape during the bombing, but the Zhou Dynasty did not intend to let soldiers rush in now.

He ordered the artillery fire to extend and let the shells fall into the city.

These soldiers under him are all top heroes, and it would be a great loss to die one of them.

Before entering the city, use artillery to blow up all the resistance forces in the city to pieces.

The shells roared over the city wall and fell into the city.

The successive explosions repeated the scene on the port.

Van Diemen, who was praying humbly in the church, was panicked by the explosion.

He hurriedly ran outside, and just two steps away, a cannonball landed accurately on the top of the church.

The shock wave generated by the explosion sent the bricks and tiles blown up on the top of the church flying.

A brick fell in front of him, scaring him to the ground.

How much he flaunted his power in front of those unarmed people at that time, and how embarrassed he is now.

The hospitals, taverns, and various living facilities in the city were all under the baptism of artillery fire.

The Hongyi merchants who lived here suffered heavy losses for a while.

They, who had never seen such fierce artillery fire, were frightened by the scene in front of them and ran around in the city.

Bricks and tiles began to fly in all directions, and the walls began to collapse.

The entire Governor's Mansion was turned into ruins, and among the broken rubble, corpses could be seen everywhere.

They will eventually pay the price for what they did in the first place.

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.

Outside the city, Zhou Chao looked at the city in front of him coldly.

He didn't care at all whether there were Hongyi people or indigenous people in it.

The best thing that awaits them is death, no doubt about it.

On the city wall, some Hongyi soldiers raised their guns and fired.

But their matchlock guns are no different from fire sticks at this time.

The fragments produced by the shells ruthlessly passed through their chests, continuously harvesting their lives.

The infantry behind the artillery also began to advance from both sides.

When he came within range, he raised his gun and shot Hongyi on the city wall.

This is almost no different from target shooting. It is a good time to practice when you aim and aim.

Bullets flew towards Hongyi non-stop, and the sound of gunshots and bullets piercing the air could be heard endlessly.

Many Hongyi were beaten to death before they could react.

Under the blow of dimensionality reduction spanning hundreds of years, any weapon is so feeble.

Hongyi's blood stained the ground red, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

When the wind blew, the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke mixed together, which was so unpleasant that it made people sick.

Zhou Chao looked at Hongyi who kept dying on the city wall, and murmured: "Now, the entire Batavia port has been taken over by me, and it will be like this from now until now."

Java is located near the equator and is hot.

Not long after that, Zhou Chao was already dripping with sweat.

He took a water bottle from the guard behind him, raised his head and took a sip.

The shelling was still going on, and the dust that was raised could not dissipate in the city for a long time.
