I saw Chen Ang solemnly saying to Li Huan: "General, the barbarians dare to be so rampant. I will fight, and I am willing to defeat these barbarians in one battle!"
Li Huan looked at Chen Ang and said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that these barbarians will kill the people of the Ming Dynasty who fall into their hands?"
Chen Ang said coldly: "If they dare to kill one of my Ming people, the general will kill them ten times!"
Chen Ang took a deep breath and said: "It is impossible for me, the Ming Dynasty, to give in because of the threat of the Portuguese. If not, wouldn't the other side think that my Ming Dynasty really can't do anything to them? If those Portuguese people hold me in their hands,
If the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty are in danger and they make other excessive demands, do we have to agree to them?"
Zhang Huai on the side heard the words and nodded: "What Chen Ang said is true. Our Ming Dynasty never accepts threats. If they really dare to kill people, they must be prepared to pay the price for it."
Chen Ang saluted Li Huan respectfully and said: "I beg the general to give the order!"
When Zhang Huai and others on the ship saw this, they all turned to Li Huan and said, "Please give the order, General!"
Li Huan just pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That's right."
Chen Ang and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and heard Chen Ang say: "The final general will definitely live up to the general's expectations!"
Chen Ang can be regarded as a veteran in the army. Although he is a little unfamiliar with things such as landing battles, he actually commands the army in an orderly manner.
They saw the army under the command of Chen Ang, and soon dozens or hundreds of small boats were speeding towards the port ahead at extremely fast speeds.
As these nearly a hundred small boats carrying nearly two thousand elite warriors approached the port, the Portuguese in the port apparently also noticed the movement here.
Seeing that the Ming people ignored their threats and sent people to force a landing, Earl Xivens and others at the port all looked extremely ugly.
Originally, they used the captured businessmen as a basis to threaten the Ming Dynasty. Although they said they did not have much hope, they did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would react so fiercely.
After Harry Bin had his nose and ears cut off and was brought back to Li Huan as a threat, Earl Sivens and others had actually given up the idea of threatening those Ming businessmen.
Just as Li Huan threatened, if they really kill all those merchants, even a fool can imagine that once the Ming people invade the port, they will inevitably be buried with them.
If we keep those merchants, the worst they can do is surrender. Then we will find a way to save our lives. As long as our lives are still there, everything can be discussed.
Looking at the densely packed small boats on the sea, I heard the one-eyed man yelling: "What are you doing standing still? Fire, fire!"
There are almost dozens of large and small artillery pieces built near the port. Among these artillery pieces, only a dozen can really threaten ships at sea. The rest are artillery pieces with poor range, but they are used for
It's quite powerful against some landing boats.
At least if one shot hits a small boat, I dare not say that one shot can sink a small boat. At least it will cause considerable damage to the landing ship.
But before the Portuguese here could fire, they heard a rumbling sound, and suddenly the air was densely filled with flying cannonballs.
Since it was a landing, it was naturally impossible for the Ming Dynasty ships at sea to watch, so just as the boat rushed towards the port, the navy ships that had already been waiting for the landing opened fire to clear the obstacles in the port for the landing infantry.
.
Amidst the roar of artillery, shells hit the port one after another. Along with the roar of explosive shells, fire was everywhere. Even some ships docked in the port were affected, and some ships were hit by debris.
As the fires flew around and flickered, some ships were also set on fire, gradually igniting the fire.
As for some defensive artillery built on the coast, they were naturally attacked. Although the Ming Dynasty Navy did not know the location of these artillery, hundreds of artillery fired at a time, and they were densely packed.
After the shells hit, some people were affected after all.
Boom boom boom
Amidst a roar, the forts built on the shore opened fire one after another. Suddenly, the fire flickered, and the Portuguese counterattack arrived. The cannonballs hit the sea one after another, splashing water columns.
The Portuguese artillery fire here was naturally discovered immediately by the reconnaissance soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet, and the location of the artillery was then informed.
Soon the Ming Dynasty Navy's guns turned and aimed at the positions of those forts.
After several rounds of shelling, the Portuguese artillery was indeed quite powerful. At least several of the nearly 100 landing boats on the sea were sunk. Most of the soldiers fell directly into the sea. Of course, some people were unlucky enough to be killed.
The shell directly hit him and killed him on the spot.
But after all, these are only a very small number, and the vast majority of landing boats are approaching the port quickly.
At the same time, all the Portuguese forts were exposed to dozens of artillery fires from the Ming army. Under the waves of shelling, most of those forts were blown away. Even some of the forts were extremely strong, but they could not withstand the Portuguese who controlled the artillery.
Seventy-seven or eighty-eight soldiers were killed.
It was just a matter of time. The Portuguese artillery, which was originally powerful enough to cause considerable damage to the Ming army's landing fleet, had been destroyed and could no longer pose a threat.
At this moment, the landing boat had already arrived at the port. The Ming soldiers on the boat were rowing the oars frantically, and the coast was getting closer and closer.
With a bang, the first boat hit the rocks so hard that the dozens of soldiers on the boat were shaken, and some of them almost fell to the ground.
However, following the order, more than ten or twenty soldiers jumped onto the shore carrying muskets, crossbows, swords and spears.
"Kill the enemy!"
Amidst shouts, several more small boats arrived at the shore, and the soldiers on board landed.
The bang-bang-bang sound of muskets sounded, and the soldiers who were attacking at the front suddenly burst out with blood as if they had been hit hard, and fell to the ground in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people fell to the ground. At this moment, a group of Ming soldiers who were charging forward discovered that a group of Portuguese soldiers were waiting in front.
Earl Sivens and the others gathered all the power they could, and finally assembled a team of nearly a thousand people. However, among the nearly a thousand people, only one or two hundred people actually owned guns, and the rest
In fact, most of them rely on the axes, long knives, and short spears in their hands as weapons.
Chen Ang was standing on a small boat. Just as the boat was about to dock, he saw Chen Ang jump up. Like a goshawk, he flew across the sky several feet and landed on the rocks on the shore. At the same time, he was attacking from a distance.
The situation of the soldiers being blocked was also seen in Chen Ang's eyes.
Chen Ang was not too surprised. Although Chen Ang called the Portuguese barbarians, just seeing that these Portuguese could fight the Ming Navy at sea, coupled with the artillery bombardment they faced during the previous charge,
Chen Ang also knew that these Portuguese were not barbarians without resistance.
Therefore, Chen Ang was mentally prepared for the obstruction of his landing. When Chen Ang saw the messy Portuguese team in the distance, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Although he admired the courage of these Portuguese people to resist, in his eyes, these Portuguese people were just a bunch of rabble, without even a basic formation, and they just gathered together in a chaotic manner, as if they were fighting in a group.
After all, he was a noble general, and his subordinates were the most elite infantrymen of the Ming Dynasty. If he couldn't cope with such a rabble, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him head-on.
At this time, more and more soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed ashore, gradually forming a team of several hundred people. Chen Ang roared, and suddenly he rushed towards the Portuguese not far away like a ghost.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty side also bombarded the Portuguese on the opposite side with fire guns in their hands. The sound of strong crossbow strings sounded, and arrows were shot out like rain.
In the blink of an eye, shrill screams could be heard from the Portuguese on the opposite side. With just one wave of shooting, more than a dozen Portuguese were killed on the spot, and dozens of others were injured.
Compared to the Ming Dynasty, these soldiers are all carefully selected elites. Even if they are suddenly attacked by the Portuguese, fortunately, these soldiers are wearing double-layered armor to protect themselves, unless some unlucky ones are hit in vital parts.
He died on the spot, and the others only suffered minor injuries.
Therefore, although the Portuguese's blocking force was not small, the actual damage caused to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was not as great as imagined.
But the Portuguese are not as lucky as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. You must know that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are real regular troops, with neat armor and stomach. In addition, the elites selected by Chen Ang are all wearing double armor, while the Portuguese are all
They come from a group of pirates, and they wear a variety of clothes. You can almost count the number of people wearing armor.
Therefore, when the two sides shot at each other, the results were completely different. It was obviously the Portuguese who took the lead in waiting for work, but it was the Portuguese side that suffered heavy casualties.
Chen Ang, who was rushing at the front, covered a distance of several feet with one step. His body was extremely fast, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Damn it, stop him!"
When Count Xivensi saw Chen Ang, he couldn't help but frowned and shouted.
The one-eyed man roared, stepped out with a big ax in his hand, picked up a short ax from his waist and threw it fiercely at Chen Ang.
The one-eyed man showed extremely astonishing strength as soon as he made a move. The sound of the hatchet breaking through the air was heard. Chen Ang's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he hit the flying hatchet hard with the spear in his hand.
Then a sound of gold and iron clashing was heard, and the short ax was smashed to the ground in the air. Chen Ang stepped on it, jumped up and shouted at the one-eyed man: "Suffer death."
After just one fight, Chen Ang realized that this one-eyed man was extremely strong and powerful. Even if he looked at the Ming army, he could be called a powerful general.
It's just that Chen Ang's strength has already improved by leaps and bounds. If he had met this one-eyed man when he just entered the army, he would really be unable to do anything to him, but now Chen Ang is fully confident that after a dozen moves
Behead him on the spot.
Amidst the continuous roars, more and more soldiers from the Ming side came ashore, and relied on their armor and stomach to withstand the bombardment from the Portuguese. The casualties were not large, but the Portuguese could not bear it.
.
In just a few dozen breaths, hundreds of Portuguese people fell down in one fell swoop. Those who fell were all truly fierce and brave people.
Although there were still nearly a thousand people left, these people were already frightened out of fear. Whoever shouted first, everyone immediately dispersed and ran away.
Count Sivens and others who were standing behind the crowd supervising the battle never thought that while they were waiting for work, their men dispersed without even holding on for half a cup of tea.
Seeing his men fleeing in all directions, Count Xivens and others were not fools. They fled in embarrassment one by one wherever they dared to stay.
With a puff, Chen Ang pierced the heart of the confused one-eyed man with a spear. He then pulled out the spear and looked at the men who were chasing the fleeing Portuguese. He couldn't help but sneer with disdain and said to the soldiers beside him.
: "Immediately report to the General that our troops have defeated the Portuguese and occupied the port. We respectfully invite the General to enter the port."
When Li Huan led the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet into the port of Malacca, more than two thousand pioneer soldiers had completely landed and were encircling and capturing the fleeing Portuguese.
When Li Huan stepped on the land of the Strait of Malacca, the setting sun on the horizon was gradually setting in the west, leaving only a trace of the afterglow of the sunset.
As a large number of infantry landed and received help from the local Chinese in the port, they began to search and capture the hiding Portuguese. The entire Strait of Malacca also fell under the control of the Ming Dynasty at an extremely fast speed.
Here, the news that Li Huan occupied the Strait of Malacca spread throughout Southeast Asia at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, Li Huan divided his naval fleet into more than a dozen fleets and rushed to various large islands to inform the kingdoms and indigenous people on the islands.
In accordance with the decree of the emperor tomorrow, all kings and indigenous chiefs gathered in the old port.
Just when Li Huan was working hard to clean up and integrate the large and small forces in Nanyang and establish Nanyang Province for the Ming Dynasty, several ships fled to Goa, India in embarrassment. As the Governor of India, Afonso de Albuco,
The seat of the Viceroyalty where Elko ruled India, gathering almost 90% of Portugal's power in the East during this period.
At this time, the Portuguese had controlled most of India, defeated the combined fleets of Arabs and Indians at sea, and set their sights on the entire east.
As the Governor-General of India, Afonso looked around with arrogance. He felt that the world was so vast that he had no rivals. That's why he did not hesitate when he received the letter asking for help from Count Sivens a few months ago.
Colonel Thoreau was sent to lead a fleet to Malacca to assist Count Sivens in occupying the Strait of Malacca.
