    " When it comes to destroying sails and masts, chain bombs are the most effective. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhao has not activated this skill, and the Coast Guard naturally does not have such shells.

    But Ming Dynasty has its own unique weapon-Thunder Rocket!

    When the warships from both sides approached two hundred meters, the Marines, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, launched rockets at the mountain-like behemoth!

    Amidst the creepy sound of breaking through the air, five-foot-long rockets soared into the sky, trailing red tail flames and shooting towards the Governor of Goa!

    Because when attacking Jiangchuan City, 90% of the rockets failed to hit the target, resulting in a huge waste After the post-war review, Wang Rulong asked the Marine Corps to change to launch rockets within 300 meters in future operations.

    Zhao Shizhen also temporarily helped the Marines by improving the rocket launcher so that it could give the rocket a more stable shooting direction and angle.

    Although the rocket's hit rate is still very impressive, at least half of them landed on the Duke of Goa.

    And there are so many of them that I can¡¯t stand them.  Seeing that the battle was intensifying, even the speedboats gathered around and released rockets. In a short period of time, hundreds of rockets enveloped the Duke of Goa, illuminating every detail of the Karak sailboat and illuminating the sea of ??Futian Bay.  !

    Countless rockets roared and penetrated the sails one after another. The huge square sail was constantly torn apart, and one of the sails was ripped apart by the rockets.

    The tail flame ignited and the fire quickly broke out!

    Fortunately, there are enough crew members on the large sailing ship with rich damage control experience.  The sailors immediately pointed their pumps at the burning sailboat, and several jets of water shot out, desperately preventing the fire from spreading to other sails.

    However, more rockets fell on the ship, and the thin tail flames caused more than a dozen fires. The sailors were exhausted trying to put out the fires everywhere.

    The sailors below the deck and under the bow of the ship risked being hit by cannonballs and were busy using linen cloth, wooden boards and oiled linen batting to block the hull that was pierced by the cannonballs to prevent the waves from flooding in.  Come in.  The water under their feet has reached up to their ankles, and they will be in big trouble if it is not blocked.

    What is worse than the fire and water situation is that after withstanding so many rounds of attacks, the sails on the Duke of Goa were finally completely damaged and completely lost power!

    Now, the large sailboat can only rely on inertia to move forward slowly, and its speed is slowing down visibly to the naked eye.

    This means that it will be more likely to be hit by artillery. When the distance between the two sides is only a hundred meters, the lethality of the artillery will increase again. Unfortunately, many artillery fire barrels have become soft because they shoot too fast and can no longer be fired.

    Fortunately, at this time, the short but deadly Hongxi Cannon took over the battlefield. The thick barrel roared and fired huge shells - this time it was not grape bullets, but thirty kilograms of solid iron bullets!

    The heavy shells hit the Duke of Goa¡¯s round, fat face, and each shot could open a wound the size of a washbasin!

    A cannonball shot in through the hole it had previously punched, whizzing past the sailors who were busy plugging the leak, and instantly claimed more than a dozen lives!  Another artillery shell came in, hitting the gun carriage of an artillery piece.  The wooden gun carriage immediately fell into pieces. The two-ton, three-meter cannon lost its restraints and rolled on the deck. It smashed several artillery pieces like a rolling pin, crushed to death and injured more than a dozen gunners. Finally, the cabin was destroyed.  It stopped after punching a big hole in the wall!

    ??~~

    Colonel Pinto stood outside the pilothouse with a livid face, holding on to the carved railing with both hands, listening to the bad news that kept coming from the cabin, looking at the messy deck, the bow that had been beaten into a sieve, and the already damaged  All the sails turned into rags

    Father Torres has been sitting in the prayer room and praying. Unfortunately, the hegemony added this time seems to be of no use.

    Colonel Pinto knew that he had to make a manly decision quickly.  Otherwise, the only thing waiting for the Duke of Goa would be to be sunk and burned.

    "Little Lucas, give the order to hang the white flag and surrender." Captain Pinto said calmly.

    In fact, when his side was blocked in Futian Bay by ten times the number of enemy ships, the outcome was already doomed - he was just betting on the Ming Dynasty's lack of firepower.  It's a pity that he lost the bet, so he had to admit defeat.

    "But Colonel, we haven't fired a single shot yet!" the young adjutant said angrily, "Our sailors are all still here!"

    "The only way for a large sailing ship that has lost its ability to move is to surrender." Pinto took off the wig on his head slumped, revealing his true Mediterranean hairstyle and said: "Remember, my little Lucas, for our population  For the sparse Portuguese Empire, every sailor is extremely valuable. His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s vast colony needs us to protect it. We must cherish our lives. It is not advisable to sacrifice lightly like the Ottomans did.¡±

    As he spoke, he glanced at the handsome little adjutant?Confidence.  "

    "You too, Father." Pinto put on his wig again. It was so late at night that his bare head was still chilly.

    Then the two were escorted to the crowd on the front deck and guarded by gun-toting Marines.

    Another Marine who boarded the ship searched each cabin layer by layer and brought all the people inside, dead or alive or injured, onto the deck.

    ??~~

    The Governor of Goa was so big that it was not until dawn that the Marines completed the search and gathered everyone on the weather deck.

    Seeing that the light was ready for operation, the five transport ships transferred the remaining ammunition to each warship, cleared the decks, and prepared to receive prisoners.

    At this time, the trumpet announcing the successful completion of the "Hunting Plan" sounded on the flagship, and the soldiers burst into loud cheers!

    Now not only the ¡®Oriental Beauty¡¯, but also the ¡®Governor of Goa¡¯ belongs to the young master!

    ps. It¡¯s hard to resist. I stayed up late yesterday and will be useless today.  I only wrote 1,000 words in the second update, so I can only update twice (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
