Chapter 224 Raid on Macau (Please subscribe and ask for tickets)
Storm is coming!
The sky became dark, and the wind and rain continued to grow.

From time to time, there will be a series of silver snakes dancing wildly in the air, followed by deafening thunderstorms.

In an instant, it seemed that the Tianhe River opened its gates, and the rain curtain almost connected the sky and the sea.

Perrier is a Portuguese, and today it happened to be his turn to be in charge of the lookout in Macau.

Looking at the rain outside, he yawned and leaned against the wall of the Fortress, feeling drowsy.

It was raining too much outside, he didn't think the boat would come at this time!

Didn't all the ships in the port drop anchor, did the sailors go ashore to hide from the rain?
Touching a 48-pound long-barreled cannon by his hand, Perrier felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

There is a big fort guarding Macau, how could it be dangerous?
As long as the hateful Tatars did not come to attack on a large scale, Macau would not be captured.

Why let them go up to the fort every day to look out?
Tossing people is not it?
Suddenly, Perrier's expression changed, and in a blur, he seemed to hear the sound of gunfire.

However, under the cover of the thunderstorm, the sound of the artillery was not very clear.

Even a skilled gunner like him was a little unsure if he heard it wrong.

The torrential rain was quite fierce when it came, but it was actually just the man's shivering. After it was released, it ended quickly.

Gradually, the violent storm raging between heaven and earth began to become smaller visible to the naked eye!

The thick dark clouds in the sky were also pierced by the sun.

The golden sun shines on the endless sea!
In just a moment, the violent storm just now left only the hazy drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River.

boom!Boom!

There were bursts of rumbling gunfire in the distance.

Perrier can now be sure that he heard it right, someone is really shooting.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Perrier's tense voice became extremely sharp, and there were bursts of harsh sirens from the watchtower.

The Portuguese soldiers in the fort gathered after finishing, and began to load the artillery, ready for battle.

Perrier took out the binoculars and looked in the direction of the gunfire!
At the end of the line of sight, a western-style armed merchant ship appeared.

The hull of the ship was dilapidated, full of traces after the battle, and all the gun windows on the side were opened, revealing a series of dark cannons.

boom!Boom!

The sound of shelling rang out continuously!

The flag flying on this warship is the Union Jack of Great Britain.

And behind this suspected British warship is a huge fleet.

Flying on that fleet is the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag of Ming Dynasty.

The two sides were in a chasing battle, and the British warship was chased away by Ming's fleet.

Heading towards Macau Port!
"It's an English ship!"

"It's an English ship!"

Perrier sounded the alarm.

Seeing this scene, the commander inside the fort couldn't help frowning.

Looking at the scene, it was obvious that his boss was being bullied, so he came here to ask for help!

Can you take care of yourself?

Certainly not!
If I don't care about it, it is estimated that Portugal will be held accountable by the UK when I turn back.

Cromwell is still very strong!
He didn't even think about it, and said directly.

"Order the fort to prepare to fire and bring the British ships into port."

The Ming army ships carrying the British Union Jack sailed into the port of Macau safely, and the Portuguese dared not open fire on the British ships at all.

After the British ships entered the port, the cannon opened fire.

Amidst the rumble of shelling, shells fell towards the warships of the Ming army as if they didn't need money.

The shells fell around the Ming warship, splashing huge splashes!

A round of salvo from the fort stopped the Ming army's fleet and retreated to the rear.

The Portuguese let out bursts of cheers!

The British ship also lowered its sails, and blond-haired and blue-eyed Westerners walked out of the cabin, hugging and celebrating the victory with the Portuguese.

Congratulations to them for defeating a strong enemy!
The Zheng family's fleet is very large, with sailors from all over the world.

Zheng Chenggong wanted to gather some Westerners in the fleet to put on a show, so it was not a big problem.

That night, Captain Charles of the British Merchant Marine invited Portuguese friends to drink in order to thank the Portuguese for their helping hand at the critical moment.

At the banquet, many Portuguese soldiers were drunk!

When the night was dark and the wind was high, an elite sailor named Zheng Jun got out of the cabin of the ship flying the Mi Zi flag in the dark, and walked towards the big fort...

At this time, except for a small number of people who were in charge of guarding the Fort, the rest of the people had already been drunk by "British Captain Charles".

After Zheng Jun's sailors touched the fort, they encountered almost no resistance!
Many Portuguese soldiers were smeared on the neck while drunk.

Under the surprise attack by Zheng Jun's sailors, the Fort quickly fell into chaos.

The Portuguese soldiers responded in a panic!

Snapped!clap clap!

The gunshots rang out one after another.

But in chaos, muskets are often no better than cold weapons.

Zheng Jun's sailors and Portuguese soldiers strangled together, and there was chaos on the cannon.

Shouts of killing, screams, sounded out one after another!
call out!shhhhh!

One after another, fireworks were lifted into the sky and exploded in the dark sky.

Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong, who had been waiting for a long time, lifted their expressions, and Zheng Chenggong said.

"The order is passed on, and Ma Xin personally leads a squadron to Humen and Dajiao Mountain to attract the attention of the Qing army."

"The main force of the remaining fleet will attack Macau with all its strength!"

"The first priority target, Bugarao Cannon Foundry!"

"Those cannon-casting masters, none of them can be hurt, and I will bring them back intact!"

The generals agreed one after another.

Zheng Chenggong is jealous of the artillery casting ability of the Liberation Army!

He thought that if he could win the Bugarao Cannon Factory, he would also be able to set up an arsenal to cast cannons for his fleet.

The ship hoisted its sail and anchor and headed towards Macau.

Zhu Hongyu just sat on the side, closed his eyes and fell asleep, not pointing fingers at Zheng Chenggong's instructions.

He is an outsider in naval battles!
Although Zheng Chenggong is more hip in land battles, he is still very capable in naval battles.

And just watch it!

……

The big fort was in chaos, and there was no time to fight back against the Ming army fleet that suddenly entered the port.

The warship docked, and a large number of Zheng Jun sailors landed and rushed towards the fort, trying to seize control of the fort.

Amidst the chaos, thick smoke rose from the port!
Zheng Jun and the Portuguese soldiers fought together!
In the darkness, both sides lack the most basic degree of organization, and the only thing they can rely on is courage.

The Portuguese commander was stunned by the sudden surprise attack, and under the escort of a group of soldiers, he shouted desperately.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"Why did the British raid us?"

"Are you still raiding us with the Ming people?"

"Did something happen over there?"

From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the so-called Ming army chasing the British ships was just a play directed and performed by the Ming army!

Seeing the collusion between Britain and the Ming Dynasty in front of him, and all the raids on Macau, his first reaction was that Britain and Portugal broke up in Europe...
