Chapter eight hundred and seventy-two.

Huang Degong was an army general, so it was definitely a stupid idea to use warships as bunkers! In the overwhelming artillery fire, the tall and mighty Ming army warships were as weak as sand sculptures standing on the beach. With the roar of Dutch artillery fire, pieces of shipboard fragments collapsed like sand particles with huge waves.

It was very sad. After commanding two rounds of artillery, Chen Xinghua could no longer stand. The deck was torn apart by artillery fire, and the gun cabin was directly seen. A cannon beside him was inlaid into the deck wall. Yang Qi's gun head swept his armor and scraped him away.

He knelt on the ground and spitted blood, his head was covered with blood on his eyes. One of his eyes could not even be opened. He was so sad. Supported by the sense of honor, the first regiment's leader still supported the command knife and stood up again, holding the knife and roaring violently and shrillly.

"fire!"

But almost against his voice, another round of hot shells hit him in the face, and wood chips splashed and dust completely submerged his figure.

After all, it is a private house. The two-story building in Manila cannot be compared with the cannon bases of the enemy fort. In Cohen's nervous attention, the Manila city, which was originally neat and graceful as a large garden, was also hit in a mess by the iron stream of shelling.

With a crackling sound, more than one meter of holes were knocked out of the floor slab, and the green diamond bricks inside were broken and splashed everywhere. The gorgeous lattice glass fragments were smashed down, destroying the flowers and leaves of the vegetable garden unique to the Chinese in the backyard, full of desolation.

Before the trembling little building could survive the severe pain, the next artillery fire had already hit hard. With the cracks, cracks suddenly spread across the wall. The roof that could no longer be supported collapsed and collapsed towards the corner of the back wall. The bent steel bars suddenly exposed like broken bones.

I don’t know where the fire was raging, and the black smoke was simmering. The huge city was soaked in a stream of black smoke everywhere.

Looking at the telescope, Cohen's wrinkled old face finally showed a relaxed smile, but in his smile, there was another sharp and harsh whistling sound in the air. In the overwhelming artillery fire of the sea crusaders, the frequency of the artillery fire of the Ming army seemed to be almost negligible, but each attack was still full of lethality.

Boom~

Amid the huge explosion, a small mushroom cloud emerged from the Dutch warship East Indies, which was next to the flagship of the USS Batavia. The artillery fire from the opposite Fort St. Philip hit the stern of the sailboat. In an instant, a large piece of the 47-meter-long double-decker battleship was chewed down like a toy that was gnawed by a dog. The rear seven-meter-long tail building was immediately flattened. The sailor's body was thrown out like a doll, and even one arm hit Cohen directly. The wounded soldier with broken hands and feet fell down on the tilted deck and cried heart-wrenchingly. The burning fire seemed to signal that the Ming Dynasty was not easy to mess with!

It seemed that the goddess of luck was particularly favoring the Ming Dynasty. Before Cohen could wake up from his shock, another overlord shell roared into the front of the ship formation, exactly the same as the Spanish warship Conquest yesterday. The French battleship was directly penetrated into the gunpowder compartment, and the huge explosion tore half of the ship to pieces. In just a moment, the French sailors on the ship ascended and finally fell heavily into the sea.

With a gurgling sound, the sea water suddenly poured into the cabin. With the moan of wood, the heavy bow suddenly rose and silent towards the deep sea. More than 500 sailors and the 61-meter main warship were gone! Listening to the terrified cry for help from the French soldiers who fell into the water not far away, the old face of the fleet commander Michel, the wrinkled old face, couldn't help but pull it hard. He picked up the telescope again, looked at the broken hull of the Manila and Kaihai, which were also bubbling and sinking in the harbor, and finally raised the red flag in his hand and waved it hard.

The first row of warships that were firing into the port drove clockwise behind the fleet. Following behind it, dozens of 20 to 30 meters of Cavill transport fast sailboats took over their positions. Like sharp swordfishes, a large group of landing ships shouted horns and paddled, and quickly rowed towards the shore five hundred meters away.

In the sharp artillery fire, fighting for the city requires relying on the real swords and guns of the army! Seeing these clutches rushing towards the harbor at a speed of 100 meters, Marquis Michel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now the French Army has become the first European Army, and the Spanish Army is the first European Army, so it can be regarded as the second-generation! There are also the fierce Mughals and barbaric descendants of the Mongolian Empire to help with the war. More than a year ago, the Western countries were already preparing for this expedition to the East. The navy has destroyed the outer protection of Manila. With these powerful soldiers, I guess they can argue with the bastard politicians tonight at Fort St. Philip, right?

Pinching the beard on his chin, Michelle, the sea tiger, couldn't help but relax, but at this time, Daming always brought new surprises to his personal.

With a loud bang, the bow of the carville fast sailboat that was driving was bounced. The mercenaries carrying the bow of the boat were thrown out fiercely and scattered in the sea, terrified and incredibly frightened and called for help. More than a dozen people were blown off their legs by the explosion, and the sea level was red with blood. Not far away, the most notorious "wolf pack" in the sea came with blood, and the triangular fins were exposed to the water.

But just as the fast sailboat next to him was looking at the scene in horror, the explosions suddenly exploded in the assault fleet array. The light but crisp fast sailboat was torn to pieces by the violent explosion. More than one row of landing craft directly crossed the sea level, and the rest turned the bow of the ship in fear, turned around and ran away.

This scene was too sudden and incredible. For a moment, even Michelgen, who had sea water in his blood, was stunned in disbelief. In just a few seconds, the stinky and hard-tempered naval veteran roared in Dutch.

"Hurry up and find Mingren's fast cannon formation and take them off!"

Ran'er and several observers were anxiously holding the telescope and looking at it. But for a long time, they couldn't find the artillery position with extremely fast firing speed and extremely accurate hit rate. After watching for more than ten seconds, the first mate of the navy rushed over tremblingly.

"Commander! It seems that it is not a cannon, the explosion is coming from the water!"

"How is it possible to explode in the water?"

The old face was twisted again, and Marquis Michel shouted in disbelief.

…………

This magical land in the East seems to be impossible. It is under the heavy artillery fired from Manila City. In the eyes of a group of experienced and long-standing Dutch, the Spanish navy generals, several smaller flat-bottomed boats rowed back to the terrifying boat cemetery and salvaged it in the water with bamboo poles. After more than twenty minutes, a large circle and a half were sunk in the water. They pulled the pots pulled by the floating wooden barrels.

Ming Dynasty water mine!

This thing once shone brightly in the war against Japanese devils. Now that it has become Mao Jue's hands, its power has increased a few points. It is filled with the recipe left by the old Taoist Xuankong of Liaodong, which has already ascended to the ascendant. The secret of the alchemist, two substances that Mao Jue didn't know are filled in the clay pot, one large and one small, and the bottom of the boat crashed into the traction rope. The clay pot suddenly hit the bottom of the boat and broke the bow, and the explosive mixed together burst out with this terrifying lethality.

The clay pot was loaded into the wine barrel. A sailor threw a big stone away from a distance. With a loud bang, the barrel with an iron hoop was torn to pieces in an instant, and even the deck was exploded. The sailor who was next to the blast was blown to the ground by the explosion. The pieces of the barrel and the clay pot were thrust on him and covered his face. The unlucky sailor rolled all over the ground in pain.

Looking at this scene from afar, a group of Western Navy generals, including Michelle, took a breath.

From here to the harbor, there are many dense floating areas, dragging the thunder up and down.

Amid the howling sound, another tyrant cannon shell hit the ball suddenly, stirring up a few meters high water column, and then exploded under the water. The heavy shaking main battleships floated endlessly. The Spanish Admiral Placido, who had always looked down on the Dutch, turned his head away in a trembling voice, and asked Michelle with a white face.

"Commander, what should I do?"

In a bunch of confused eyes, a particularly fierce look once again burst out on Michelle's face.

…………

Boom~ Boom~

The mines exploded one after another, and the water columns splashed on the side of the ship. The strong explosion smoke even emerged from the water. The explosion and flying wood fragments were tragically delayed. But this time, the dense mines could no longer stop the Dutch and Spaniards from moving forward.

Because once again, Michelle threw the main warship into the battlefield as cannon fodder.

The three main battleships rushed forward in the captain's fear and blood. Although the heavy battleship was covered in scars by the mines, they could not sink for a while.

Following them, dozens of Cavill Clippers rushed toward Manila City once again fiercely.

Click~

With the huge impact, three giant thunderbolt ships plunged directly into the slowly sinking body of the Manila with their sharp bows, but their trip ended here! The water compartment in the front half of the water sank broke, and with the two opponents, they slowly sank.

However, behind them, small boats were also stalked on the shore. The Spanish Army, carrying a long Western halberd and flintlock rifle, immediately jumped ashore violently and fiercely. The Mongolian descendants of the Mughal Empire carried shields and axes. The French Army also abandoned the so-called elegance, waved the thin-body sword spear with a ferocious face, and rushed into the city of Manila fiercely.

"It turns out to be a cruel person!"
