Chapter 190 Divine Soldiers Descend From Heaven!Dimensionality reduction strike across the era

The several arson ships that escaped the artillery bombardment of the Ming army by chance were all destroyed in the subsequent second round of shelling.

The arson ship that Suleiman III and the pirates placed high hopes on was easily resolved.

"By God, this...how is this possible...!" Suleiman III couldn't believe his eyes.

The kerosene on those arson ships was bought from Baghdad at a high price.

Originally, the Greek fire that Tianfangjiao spent countless energy learning from the Romans was destroyed by the Ming army without any effort.

What frightened Suleiman III even more was the brand-new tactics and weapons adopted by the Ming army.

Several generals next to Suleiman III also discovered a large number of mysterious weapons equipped on the warships of the Ming army.

"The thing that sounded like thunder just now, could it be a cannon?"

"God, it's really scary, how much money do you need for so many cannons!"

"The artillery used by the Mongols is definitely not so powerful!"

"No wonder the Ming people were able to defeat the Mongols!"

Everyone showed great fear of the powerful artillery used by the Ming army.

You must know that the Mongols were able to roam all directions in West Asia back then. Among the many military advantages, artillery is definitely an existence that refreshed all Tianfang believers.

Although the technology of making cannons has made a lot of progress among Tianfang Cultists, the cannons produced are still very clumsy, and the quality cannot be guaranteed. Terrible bombing accidents often occur, so they are not among the troops of Tianfang Cult. universal.

In any case, they could not imagine how the Ming army loaded those heavy artillery onto the ship.

The pirates had a bad start, and dozens of arson ships were wiped out. After a short shock, Suleiman III immediately adjusted his emotions.

The number of pirate ships is nearly a thousand, and even if dozens of vulnerable arson ships are lost, it will not affect their subsequent battle situation.

After all, the pirates still have a ten times the number advantage.

"attack!"

"attack!"

After Suleiman III saw that the arson ship was destroyed, he immediately became angry and launched a full-scale attack.

Soon, the pirate sailboats blocked the sky and launched a siege to the Ming warships from all directions.

The triangular sails raised high on these sailboats, like the banners of the devil, turned the originally calm sea into a murderous atmosphere.

"General, general! The pirate gate is attacking!"

Maru Ali hadn't reacted from the shock of the destruction of dozens of arson ships just now, and immediately saw the pirates launch a full-scale attack.

"I said, old horse, why are you panicking? Let's see how my Ming soldiers cut melons and vegetables." Tang He said with a slight smile.

At this time, the warships of the Ming army had completed their deployment, and all the merchant ships and supply ships had been surrounded by the warships of the Ming army in the center.

The pirates, like locusts, rushed at the Ming army from all directions.

"Prepare!"

"fire!"

The soldiers of the Ming army on all the battleships fired artillery according to the order in an orderly manner.

The rumbling cannon sounded again on the battleship of the Ming army.

These heavy shells stirred up tall water columns on the sea.

Many unlucky pirate warships were hit by artillery, and they were immediately cut through two large holes in the front and back.

"what!"

"True God is above!"

The Ming army was able to penetrate the pirate warships at such a long distance.

Immediately scares the pirates out of their wits.

The most unlucky pirate ships belonged to those ships that were hit by the Ming army's artillery at the waterline. The broken hull was like a leaky sieve, and the turbulent sea water instantly filled the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, these hapless ships list and capsize.

The pirates who fell into the water let out a miserable cry, but the pirate ship behind them didn't care about these companions who fell into the water.

Many pirates who fell into the water were hit and crushed by ships and sank to the bottom of the sea.

More pirates are carrying broken hull pieces or buckets and drifting in the sea. If they want to be rescued, they can only salvage and rescue them if they try to swim to the shore or hope that the pirates will win the final victory.

The first round of artillery from the Ming army stopped the pirate ship's attack.

"terrible…"

"Devil, they must have reached an agreement with the devil!"

Suleiman III let out a terrified roar.

According to the terrifying artillery power of the Ming army, if the pirates wanted to fight hand-to-hand for a decisive battle, they would probably have to pay a very large loss.

Suleiman III, as the city lord of Uka, had already lost three large ships in the attack just now. If he lost three more large ships, his status as the city lord would be in jeopardy.

But now Suleiman's sinking cost is already very high. If he orders a retreat now, the three big ships will be lost in vain.

So no matter how fearful Suleiman was, he could only put all his bets on himself to win the final victory.

Thinking of this, Suleiman III immediately gritted his teeth and issued the most severe order.

"Don't worry about casualties!"

"Keep attacking!"

"Close! Stick it! Kill these Ming soldiers!"

Pirates big and small had the same thoughts as Suleiman III.

They already knew that the Ming army fleet carried a huge amount of wealth, so even seeing their accomplices in front of them sinking into the water by terrible artillery could not extinguish the greed and ferocity in their hearts.

"kill!"

"The true God is great!"

...

All the pirate ships have increased their speed to the maximum, and one by one shirtless pirates are holding machetes, standing on the splint and getting ready to jump and seize the ship.

but.

How could the Ming army, equipped with the most superior artillery in this era, give these Tianfang pirates a chance to fight hand-to-hand.

I saw the artillery on the battleship of the Ming army fired again.

Thunderous cannons and thick white smoke descended on the sea again like a punishment from God.

clap clap!

Click!

The sound of cracking wood echoed one after another in the pirate fleet.

This time the artillery of the Ming army fired chain bombs.

As a special artillery shell for the navy, the chain bomb is two semicircular shells connected from the middle with an iron chain.

When this kind of shell flies out of the muzzle, the two-lobed shell will rotate violently due to the difference in initial velocity. Once the chain bomb hits the enemy warship, this terrible rotation will shatter the ship on the battleship. Sails and masts deprive the ship of power to continue sailing.

This round of chain bomb attacks by the Ming army immediately tore apart the sails and masts of dozens of pirate ships, and the powerless pirate ships blocked the further progress of the rear ships on the sea.

The originally imposing pirates immediately fell into chaos.

"A mere thief, dare to come and die?"

When Tang He saw the pirates in chaos, he knew that the Ming Navy was sure to win this battle.

"That's great, the Divine Soldier of Ming Dynasty has descended from the sky!" Maru Ali was beside him, raising his arms and cheering happily.

His merchant ships were at last unscathed.

When these pirates fell into chaos, the Ming army did not give them a chance to regroup.

I saw the Ming warship turning sideways on the sea.

The ship's side on the other side was aimed at the chaotic pirate ships again.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Another round of deafening artillery sounded.

This time, the Ming army used powerful solid ammunition, focusing on those pirate ships that protruded forward.

At the same time, the rockets on the deck of the Ming battleship also began to launch one after another.

These rockets were filled with a viscous mixture of sugar and kerosene.

The rocket with its long tail flames descended from the sky with a terrifying scream.

boom!
Immediately after the Ming army's rocket hit the pirate ship, it ignited a raging fire.

These unlucky pirates immediately rushed to put out the fire with sea water.

However, they soon discovered in horror that the fire caused by these Ming army rockets could not be put out with sea water at all.

Instead, due to the flow of sea water, the fire spread around the hull.

"Greek Fire!?"

The pirates couldn't help panicking even more.

The arson ship they originally used as a big killer used this terrible kerosene.

It never occurred to them that the Ming army not only mastered this kind of kerosene technology, but was also able to use rockets to directly hit them on top of their heads.

Such a terrible enemy is definitely not something that pirates like them can deal with.

"Run away!"

"The servant of the devil is not something we can defeat!"

The pirates on the rear ship saw the raging fire, and immediately panicked and prepared to turn the bow of the ship and retreat.

Such a terrifying Ming army absolutely dare not provoke it again.

For a while, some pirates wanted to continue to attack, and some pirates wanted to turn the bow and retreat.

The pirates fell into even greater chaos.

Squeak!

Squeak!

From time to time, panicked pirate ships bumped into each other, and the wooden boards made teeth-stinging noises.

"The little trick of carving insects, how dare you make an axe!"

Tang He looked at the pirates who were in complete chaos and smiled contemptuously.

Maru Ali on the side also applauded in surprise, "These pirates are finished, and Malacca will be the territory of Ming Dynasty from now on!"

Before the war, Maruali was terrified of the pirates' arson ships, but now seeing that the Ming army used the terrible Greek fire to launch rockets, he immediately beamed with joy.

No wonder the Ming army was not afraid of the pirates' arson ships!

It turns out that the mighty Ming had already mastered the terrifying naval warfare weapon of the Greek fire, and even used more effective rocket weapons to bring the Greek fire to the top of the enemy's head.

Such a powerful combat power made Maru Ali, a Persian businessman who joined Ming Dynasty, extremely proud.

This fully proves Maru Ali's wise decision and wise vision.

"Even if I am a dog of Daming, I am happy!"

Maru Ali knew that in the sea area of ​​Nanyang, after this battle, the Ming army would completely have the supreme right to speak.

And as a member of the Ming army, he will inevitably have privileges and benefits that ordinary businessmen cannot match.

Now, seeing the majestic appearance of the Ming army killing all directions, let alone Maru Ali, a seventh-rank official, even if he is really a dog of Ming Dynasty, from now on, he can definitely walk sideways in the Nanyang territory.

The artillery and rockets of the Ming army were like the god of death, constantly harvesting the lives of pirates.

None of the pirate ships could reach the vicinity of the Ming warships.

Such a terrifying enemy made all the pirates lose confidence, and they began to flee in a panic.

However, even the pirate ship at the rear is still in danger of being hit by Ming army rockets from the sky.

After all, although the range and power of these rockets of the Ming army are huge, the accuracy is really scary with a large error. Basically, the range is one mile, and the error is three miles.

"boom!"

A loud bang sounded beside Suleiman III's battleship.

Another battleship in the city of Uka was hit by a rocket from the sky.

The raging fire instantly engulfed the battleship.

The soldiers and sailors in Uka City couldn't put out the flames at all, so they could only scramble to jump into the water to escape.

Suleiman III looked at everything in front of him in despair.

"It's over! It's over!"

There was a murmur of wailing in his mouth.

The navy in the hands of Suleiman III was nearly half destroyed by the Ming army in the battle just now.

Even if he fled back to Wuka City and escaped the Ming army's revenge by chance, he would certainly be unable to deal with the subsequent threat of pirates.

Those pirates who lost a lot in the naval battle but gained nothing will pounce on the city of Uka like wolves, asking for their own losses and compensation like Suleiman III.

But no matter how bad the future results are, you must hurry up and escape now, otherwise you will die on the spot.

Suleiman III hurriedly ordered that the remaining ships move closer to him and use the wind direction to retreat to the side.

The entire battlefield was in chaos, with a large number of pirates and ships from various city-states crowded together.

Suleiman III tried his best to finally escape from the battlefield with his few remaining men.

The entire sea was covered in flames, and after the rockets of the Ming army ignited some ships, the strait was even more congested.

"These barbarians who are looking for death, don't show mercy, let them all fall into the sea to feed the fish!"

Tang He ordered all the warships of the Ming army to open fire freely, and carried out the final massacre on these pirate warships that could not escape.

The whole sea was wailing, and the Ming army used the light guns on the ship to fire shotguns to bombard the pirates who fell into the water.

The originally light blue water was also dyed a light red.

As the Ming army chased across the battlefield, most of the pirates were slaughtered.

Only a few lucky ones were salvaged and captured at the end of the Ming army.

"Old Ma, go ask which route they are pirates from?"

For these dying captives, Tang He had no mercy at all.

As the soldiers of the Ming army threw heavy punches on them, Maru Ali, as the translator, answered all the questions raised one by one.

Only then did Tang He know that these pirates turned out to be a combination of many nearby pirates, and their initiator turned out to be Suleiman III, the lord of the city of Uka.

When Suleiman III was resting at the port when the Ming army entered the port, his attitude was respectful, and he didn't see any malicious intentions in him at all.

"Good boy, that Suleiman is looking for death!" Tang He immediately showed his fierce eyes.

When setting sail from Yingtianfu, Zhu Han had repeatedly told Tang He that when dealing with these small city-states in the Nanyang region, benevolence, righteousness and morality came second, and strength always came first.

As the saying goes, "the barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous", one must show the majesty of Ming Dynasty in order to gain their awe and obedience.

"General, what should we do?" Maru Ali asked quickly.

Uka City is an important port city in the Malacca area.

Its founders are not local aboriginal islanders, but Tianfangjiao merchants who came from Baghdad and Persia more than 100 years ago.

These merchants who believed in the Tianfang Sect used their powerful navigation technology and military strength to not only occupy an important territory in the city of Uka, but also enslave tens of thousands of local aborigines.
