Chapter 687

"Boom

"Boom, boom!"

Before dawn, before the aborigines on this coral reef island wake up from last night's dream, the shells rolling with smoke and sparks, like a piece of meteor shower that is going to destroy the earth, roll and roar, and pour down on the island crazily.

At this point.

Although Li Yuanqing bought these second-hand warships from the Spanish in Manila, they are all 8-pound guns. The main gun in the bow and stern is 12 pound guns, which is the "red cannon" in the legend of the Ming army!

Although the Spaniards are lazy, arrogant and unreasonable, it is undeniable that they are very competent in artillery manufacturing and maintenance.

After several rounds of artillery offensives, Li Yuanqing also had a more accurate judgment.

The range of the 12 pound gun is steadily over a mile and a half, or even two miles.

The 8-pound gun, though slightly inferior, can steadily cross 650 meters. Even if the angle is better, it can cross a mile and a half, that is, 750 meters.

On the whole, the coral reef island inhabited by aborigines is dumbbell shaped. It is very thin and long. The width of the widest part is just over two miles.

In this way, the firepower of Li Yuanqing's fleet can cover the whole island steadily.

Even though these shells are not flowering bombs, the solid pop-up color bounce effect and almost no dead corner attack coverage make the aborigines on these islands have no place to hide. They can only jump up and down like monkeys and run for their lives in confusion.

Even though some fearless witches and sacrificial rites wanted to scare off the attack of the Ming army with their magic skills of "jumping the great gods", they were completely turned into targets and soon were directly smashed into meat paste by shrill shells.

On the command ship of Li Yuanqing, even Guan Canghai couldn't help laughing: "general, this artillery attack is really sharp!"

Kong Youde was also full of excitement: "if these guns are all used on land, what kind of dog Tartars with bird hair! I must be able to kill Shenyang City and cut off the old slave's dog's head

Shunzi could not help but be excited: "general, it's a pity to waste so many shells by beating these local dogs with bird hair! Let's go up to our boys and kill them all

Li Yuanqing's mouth also showed a happy smile.

This is the crushing pressure of the times!

Even if these aborigines are familiar with the terrain and how brave they are, they are not rats after all. In front of absolute firepower, they are like mole ants, which can only be slaughtered by Li Yuanqing!

However, Li Yuanqing also knows that the fleet and technology he has now are only technologies that have been eliminated by the Europeans. It is OK to crush the indigenous people, but there is still a huge gap between him and the European advanced main fleet.

Now, the Dutch and Spaniards' main warships have begun to assemble 24 pound guns. Although this is only the main gun, it just seems to be more symbolic and deterrent.

However, Li Yuanqing knew that the long but silent empire of the sun did not seem to show any water at this time, but in fact, their shipbuilding technology, artillery technology, and steel smelting technology have begun to lead the forest of the whole world. It is no longer a dream to replace the side string guns with powerful 24 pound guns!

Once they have a firm foothold in India, Southeast Asia will be another starting point for them!

At that time, the pattern of the whole world will be changed!

Fortunately, although the three brothers are weak, they have vast territory and deep depth. The gentlemen of the Empire want to conquer India, at least, it will take ten years!

Ten years!

This is enough for Li Yuanqing!!

"Get ready for the landing fleet! But don't worry too much! Let the Gunners find their feelings again Li Yuanqing smiles and says to the generals around him.

All the generals around him understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and nodded with a smile.

Xu Heizi was busy getting close to Li Yuanqing and whispered: "general, this, will it be too wasteful?"

Li Yuanqing smile: "sunspot, you should know, silver is never earned! However, children's actual combat opportunities are precious! "

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Heizi understood Li Yuanqing's meaning. He nodded and laughed: "the general is wise! I understand my humble duty

"Boom

"Boom, boom..."

The fierce artillery boom lasted for nearly half an hour. At this time, the whole dumbbell island was already in a mess, but all the buildings on the ground were basically destroyed.

Innumerable aborigines could only hide in the northern part of the island, where the artillery range could not reach, shouting at the Ming army's warships.

At this time, each gun has almost launched more than a dozen shells, and is close to the limit. Li Yuanqing coldly waved his hand, "land it!""Yes

The order was quickly passed on.

For a moment, with the signal flare in the sky, the flag bearers on the warships waved the flags in their hands, and the officers roared loudly.

Small boats, like a school of fish in the morning sun, quickly pack toward dumbbell island.

In the East, the rising sun and the red light reflected the sea and sky into one color, and all officers around had been busy.

Li Yuanqing was dressed in a bright red military officer's robe. His hair was high and erect. He was fixed with a gold hairpin. He hung a sword with pure gold scabbard on his waist. Standing in the morning sun, he looked like a sacred and inviolable God, shining with gold!

At the cabin door not far behind Li Yuanqing, Zhang Chunxue couldn't help looking at it.

These days, to her, it was like a dream.

She didn't expect that she would become his woman. Moreover, he has been spoiling her for four days, every time

Zhang Chunxue delicate but also some rough hands, can not help but feel to her abdomen.

"My God, since you have given me a chance, can you give me another chance and let me..."

But before Zhang Chunxue finished thinking about it, her most familiar slogan was suddenly sounded in front of her.

"General Wan Sheng!"

"Long life camp will win thousands of victories!"

"Wan Sheng Wan Sheng Wan Sheng!"

At this time, the bright red tide was even more dazzling than the sunrise. They were fearless. They were neat and uniform, like the roaring mountains and the sea, and the neat and uniform rock, step by step, neat but fast, devouring the space of the aborigines on the island.

At this time, the smile on Li Yuanqing's face could not be concealed. The overall situation has been decided!

He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was just a quarter past six.

The battle was launched around 5:40, but more than half an hour later.

Although the longevity camp has the absolute advantage of crushing, the aborigines on the island have the potential of geographical advantages, and the surrounding environment is also complicated. Li Yuanqing thought that he would encounter a lot of trouble, but at this time, everything was more smooth than expected!

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing's smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help being more serious, and he called out: "press up! Press it up! Don't let them run away

"Yes

The relatives and soldiers quickly conveyed Li Yuanqing's order to the front line, and the soldiers in front of him suddenly fought bravely and rushed forward.

Next to Li Yuanqing's command ship, Ben Coster rubbed his eyes.

As Li Yuanqing's "personal aide" and temporary advisor to the whole fleet, he was authorized to participate in the battle.

Originally, Ben Coster was quite dissatisfied with Li Yuanqing's arrangement.

Because he knew very well that although the aborigines of the cannibal shark tribe were primitive, ignorant and backward, they were more treacherous than wild animals and more difficult to deal with than rats.

At one time, both Spanish and Portuguese officials had encircled this disgusting pirate, but they failed several times. On the contrary, many soldiers and sailors of the two countries were sacrificed to the sharks for dinner.

Later, the cannibal shark tribe no longer attacked the Spanish and Portuguese fleets, but focused on attacking the Chinese fleet, Manila and Malacca, and left them to fend for themselves.

However, they have become more and more powerful. They have attacked and harassed the Chinese Fleet on the route for countless times.

For this reason, Chinese businessmen have complained to Spanish, Portuguese and even Dutch authorities for countless times, hoping that they can exterminate this disgusting pirate who looks like a cannibal shark.

But these European powers seem to have reached an agreement with these aborigines that you will not provoke me, I will not provoke you, and the well water will not offend the river.

Chinese tycoons finally had no choice but to choose to avoid the nearest route and choose the far route instead.

Even if it would cost them a lot, what would it be compared to saving their wealth and goods?

However, in recent years, the trade volume of Chinese and Chinese businessmen in the surrounding areas has been extremely reduced, and the competitiveness is also much worse than before!

In history, it was not until Zheng's fleet defeated the invasion of the cannibal shark tribe several times after the Zheng family was strong enough.

But there is no cure.

It took more than half a month for the British Empire's "invincible fleet" to really pay attention to the "invincible fleet" of the British Empire, which was forced to attack the fleet of the Empire without prey. It took more than half a month to completely eliminate the aboriginal pirate power.

Originally, Ben Coster thought that even with the support of artillery, even if they found the location of the cannibal shark tribe, they had evil curse and magic, and his boss Li Yuanqing could hardly get real benefits. However, at this time, the current situation made him dumbfounded!This, this is almost a complete massacre!

Less than 8:5, news came from the officers and men ahead that the situation had been fully controlled, "please come to the front for instructions."

Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not hesitate to call Niu Gensheng and his relatives and soldiers to take a boat to the island.

At this time, the ground was covered with scarlet blood, and countless Aboriginal corpses were piled into dozens of piles like firewood.

Next to each pile, there were dozens of armed long life camp children guarding.

The aborigines are the best at pretending to be dead and using concealed weapons. When Li Yuanqing wants to come, these generals and men dare not be slighted.

"General, we have captured more than 500 people in this battle. Among them, there are more than 100 men. The rest are women, old people and children."

Guan Canghai quickly came to Li Yuanqing to report the results of the battle, but he hesitated for a moment and then said, "general, we have found more than a dozen white female prisoners here! There are also dozens of Chinese women prisoners... "

"Well?"

Li Yuanqing's eyebrows did not help wrinkling up in an instant, "where, go and have a look!"

"Yes

Guan Canghai did not dare to neglect him. He led Li Yuanqing to a corner of the group of prisoners of war.

But as soon as he saw the situation in front of him, Li Yuanqing was furious and his eyes were full of fire!
