Steel Dynasty - Chapter 958

[Chapter 952 Melee!]

Miel was awakened by the huge roar of artillery.

In shock, he rolled to the window. Through the gap in the curtains, he saw flames filling the sky in the military port. On the sea not far away, a huge fleet was launching a fierce attack on their warships.

The Spanish warships in the naval port suffered heavy losses. Several warships were completely engulfed in flames, while three warships were slowly sinking.

“What the hell is going on?”

Miel cursed as he buttoned his white shirt.

Passing through three pretty and trembling women, Miel rushed out of the door. He wanted to find out who was attacking their battleship.

Riding towards the dock, Miel soon met Joseph who was coming.

“Your Majesty the Governor, our military port has been attacked. The despicable Dutch and the Chongqing people have now united.” Joseph said urgently, and now he no longer had the relaxed demeanor of yesterday.

Miel’s expression immediately dropped, and he said gloomily: “Let the soldiers assemble. Since the Great Chongqing people and the Dutch have started a war, our great Spaniards must let them see how powerful we are.”

” But your Excellency, the Governor, it is said that the current Dayu Kingdom is no longer the former Dayu Kingdom.” Joseph was a little worried that the timing of Dayu Kingdom’s attack on them was too clever.

He very much suspected that their massacre of Huayan State aroused the dissatisfaction of Dayu State.

And one of the reasons why they massacred the Huayan Kingdom was that they were worried that the Huayan Kingdom would collude with the Great Chongqing Kingdom to pose a threat to their rule in the Philippines.

Mier said crazily: “Who the hell cares what the Great Yu Kingdom looks like now? Now they are attacking us. All we have to do is kick their butts and send them to the sea to feed the fish. Listen, now Gather the troops immediately. We must preserve the achievements of Spain for generations and protect our colony. “

Yes.” Joseph responded and rode towards the military camp.

Mier forgot about the disadvantaged fleet and became more and more anxious. He rode along the coastline, yelling and cursing, and asked the soldiers to enter the coastal defense gun position and fire at the Yu warships and Dutch warships in the sea.

At sea, Yue Yun had been watching the movements near the military port. This time he led enough warships, and it was only a simple matter to destroy a mere twenty Spanish warships.

Seeing that the coastal defense artillery began to fire at sea, he immediately ordered the warships on standby to destroy the coastal defense facilities in the military port, and at the same time, he let the Marines land in small boats to seize the coastal defense artillery emplacements.

It has to be said that these coastal defense guns are built in thick fortresses, and it is difficult to destroy these coastal defense guns just by relying on their artillery.

But they pose a great threat to the warships in the military port.

Like many military ports, the military port on Bohol Island is also a semi-arc. Soon, Spanish soldiers entered the shore defense facilities, and they began to attack the Great Chongqing warships on the shore.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The artillery of both sides fired at each other in the arc-shaped military port. Every time the shells fired by the Chongqing warship exploded, they brought out a burst of flames.

The Spanish used 32-pound coastal defense heavy artillery to bombard the Chongqing and Dutch warships.

“Damn it, we should really buy some explosive ammunition from Dayu. Now the people of Dayu will only laugh at us.” Eric looked at the Spanish soldiers on the shore with a telescope.

Their warships are using solid shells to bombard the coastal defense artillery, but this has little effect. In contrast, the warships of Dayu have achieved more brilliant results. As long as one shell is concentrated on the coast defense artillery, several Spanish soldiers will fall down. .

“Dong dong dong…”

Spanish coastal defense artillery shells flew from the shore one after another. Sawdust flew everywhere where the shells were hit. The unlucky Dutch crew was hit by the shells and was directly smashed out of shape by the shells. Blood flooded the deck.

When Eric saw this, he became more and more impatient. If it weren’t for the main attack from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, they would never dare to come, because the coastal defense artillery alone would be enough to destroy his warship.

“Landing, landing!”

Seeing the Chongqing warships starting to put down the troop transports in the chaos, Eric also shouted. The fastest way to kill the coastal defense artillery was to land.

Compared with Eric’s embarrassment, Yue Yun’s face was serious. After the Spanish coastal defense artillery fired back, the Spanish warships in the naval port basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Most of the warships were in a sinking state, while the remaining warships were burning and unable to fight back.

However, the Spanish coastal defense guns still posed a considerable threat to them, and from time to time he heard the sound of solid shells penetrating the wooden boards.

This Spanish heavy coastal defense artillery is very powerful because it is located on the shore and the barrel of the artillery is very long, which is enough for the artillery to shoot a thirty-two-pound shell very far.

The wooden hulls of their warships cannot block the attack of such artillery shells, and the Yu warships that are hit are often directly penetrated by the artillery shells.

“All warships cover the landing of soldiers and shoot.” Looking at the warships with a sawdust atmosphere and hearing the soldiers’ screams, Yue Yun’s expression became more and more solemn.

This is the first time that the Chongqing fleet has fought against Western powers at sea. Different from the one-sided situation in the past, now they have to endure more casualties in the war.

After all, although Spain has declined, it was once the overlord across the oceans. Its face is gone, but its foundation is still there.

After receiving Yue Yun’s order, the Chongqing warships began to adjust their directions and bombard the forts on the shore. After fierce exchanges of fire, the entire military port was covered in smoke and flames.

On the coast, groups of Spanish troops poured from the Royal City of Spain to the coast. In order to form effective rule here, Spain stationed more than 9,000 troops here.

However, at this time, more than 9,000 soldiers were scattered on Bohol Island and surrounding islands, and Miel was able to mobilize only 5,000 soldiers.

“Damn it! Damn it! Knock out all the troop carriers in the sea!” Three hundred troop carriers rowed toward the coast in dense numbers, and Miel became increasingly anxious.

Once these soldiers successfully land, they will lose the entire colony.

At this time, in addition to coastal defense artillery, Spanish soldiers also brought field artillery. They aimed the muzzles at the maritime troop transport ship. After taking aim, they lit the match.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Sixty field guns fired from the beach to the sea at the same time. The dense shells flew towards the soldiers of Dayu. Three troop carriers were hit, and the wooden planks were directly penetrated. The power of the shells did not reduce the impact. Looking at the soldiers in the boat, six soldiers suddenly fell in a pool of blood.

When the remaining soldiers saw their companions fall, they gritted their teeth and their eyes were red. Although some soldiers were afraid, they still rushed to the beach decisively.

Fighting for the glory and interests of the country is the reason for their existence.
