The first thousand one hundred and eleventh chapter shelling hit the left
In the middle of the Zuo Suo, you can also call it Lu Island or Xiamen City.
At the dock in Xiamen City, a group of workers were loading the goods. They were all sent to Nanyang, including tea and porcelain. These things were okay in the Ming Dynasty, but they were valuable when transported to Nanyang.
If shipped to Europa, it would make the profit more than ten times more.
"Hey hey!"
Laborer Lao Li carries a sack with a sack weighing hundreds of pounds. To be honest, it is not very troublesome for him. It’s just one bag or two bags. If you carry dozens of bags, it will be really heavy.
Old Li gritted his teeth and came to the place where he moved the goods, then moved the sack hard to his shoulders, and his legs bent slightly, but he gritted his teeth and supported the weight with force.
He took a deep breath and Dantian walked calmly towards the merchant ship docking on the dock step by step. When he got on the boat, there was another person handing them a bamboo chip made of bamboo. He carried a bag, which was a copper plate. After completing the work every day, he used these bamboo chips to receive wages. If you didn't get the money for the bamboo chips, you would have done it in vain today.
This dock is mostly like this kind of coolie.
All morning they were busy transporting goods to the boat, and they stopped until noon, and then sat on the ground in groups of three or three to rest.
Old Li carefully then took out a hard stone-like glutinous rice dumpling from his arms, and chewed hard with the water in the bamboo tube.
There are also vendors selling next to it.
"Noodle soup! Noodle soup! Hot noodle soup!"
"Shaobian buns! Delicious Shaobian buns!"
"Rice dumplings! Rice dumplings with salted fish!"
"Rice cake! Delicious rice cake!"
"I've sold tea! I'll drink it for a penny!"
Lao Li looked at the small stall where the hawker was still steaming, and couldn't help but swallow and spit with some desire. However, he did not look at it anymore, but continued to chew on his hard dumplings.
During this rest time, the pier gradually calmed down. They needed to take advantage of this time, because there was still a lot of life waiting for them in the afternoon. If they didn’t have a good rest, it would be uncomfortable to work in the afternoon.
But they didn't know that a crisis was approaching them.
The Dutch fleet on the sea has arrived less than twenty miles from Xiamen City, and they can reach here in less than half an hour.
Del stood at the bow of the boat, holding a long black telescope about one and a half feet long in his hand, watching forward.
Now you can vaguely see the land of Lu Island, which is an important dock for a fleet of Zheng's fleet. If you take this place down, the Zheng family will definitely be severely damaged.
I just need to be careful if I want to take this place. I must avoid the Ming army in Kinmen Soochow, otherwise I might be attacked by the Ming army.
So Del chose a safer route, and he rushed towards Xiamen City from the southeast corner.
When there were five miles away from Xiamen City, Del ordered the preparation fleet to be arranged in a row.
So when the fleet was three miles away from Xiamen City, it had already converted into a combat formation. One side of the warship was facing Xiamen City, and half of the fleet's firepower could be poured into Xiamen City at one time.
The Ming army on the dock, who were in charge of the alert, stole the laziness to take a nap because it was noon. What could be wrong with the calm sea?
I don’t need to be so guarded by me? Isn’t it nice to hide in a cool place on this hot day and sleep happily?
So when the warship entered the range, the Ming army did not react, and Del also felt a little incredible.
I didn't expect that I would enter here so smoothly. It was God who was really favoring me. It seems that these pagans have angered God. So let me end the fate of your sins!
"Prepare to open fire!"
After getting the command.
The flagship where Del is located began to ignite the fire line, and the fire line behind the black cannon was burning. When the fire line touched the gunpowder, it instantly exploded.
The huge pressure pushed the projectiles forward, because the three sides of the barrel were locked, and only the gun mouth in front was the right way out.
The huge pressure could push the projectiles hundreds of meters away. Two seconds after the fire appeared at the muzzle, people on the dock of Xiamen City heard a series of violent roars.
"What sound?" Someone suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could react, he saw a pile of goods in front of him scattering.
"Architecture! Where is this fire?"
The lazy soldier was also awakened by the movement of the cannon. He suddenly got up from the ground, calmed down at the sea, and then scared him to tremble.
I saw that there was a sudden increase of more than ten large warships on the sea where there was nothing. These warships were surrounding them and fired. The cannons on the side of the ship flashed in waves, indicating that the shells were shooting towards me.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Ah!" The soldiers who reacted quickly rang the warning bell.
Suddenly the entire dock was in chaos.
When those workers saw the cannon, they immediately started running away with their heads in their arms, fearing that a shell would fall down and smash it to death. The death was really miserable. It was simply terrible and the whole person was broken.
Old Li watched helplessly as a worker was hit by a shell, and the person was a good person turned into a pool of meat paste. The shells bounced on the ground a few times and continued to smash several people. Then he finally smashed a shelf.
Old Li touched the half piece of minced meat on his head, looked at the things in his hand, and rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and fainted.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The shelling continued, and hundreds of artillery pieces of eleven warships rage against Xiamen City.
Del held up his telescope and looked very excited when he looked at the chaos in Xiamen.
"Okay! That's it! Fire the gun! Send these people to hell! Fire the gun! Keep firing!"
The Dutch soldiers on the warship operated the artillery in an orderly manner, loaded the ammunition, then tamped the shells with a strip, inserted the fire line and ignited them.
"boom!"
A ball of smoke suddenly ejected from the front of the cannon, and the cannon body also retreated two meters as if it was hit by some heavy punch. The Dutch soldiers pushed the cannon back to the cannon position.
Proficiently clear the residue of gunpowder and continue to load the medicine and shell the shelling.
These Dutch soldiers are worthy of being from the country known as the sea coachman. They have to be said to be very skilled in operating artillery, and have brought the fire rate of the artillery to the peak.
On the other hand, the Ming army was really suppressed and couldn't raise their heads.
