Chapter 1907: The Great Victory of Deep Water Bay (Part 2)

After the time of ugliness, about 1 o'clock in the morning, two Kongming lights finally rose near the Deep Water Bay Pier. At the temporary pier in Deep Water Bay, the night-time Portuguese sailors were surprised when they saw the two Kongming lanterns suddenly rising ...

"Oh, God! What's that? What lights actually fly?" The Portuguese haven't seen Kong Mingdeng, and are naturally a little bit dumbfounded.

However, they were ignorant, but the Ming Army did not. On the edge of the Bozhou Island, after seeing the Kongming lantern lifted off two miles away, the commander of the navy commander Lin Tianhai ordered:

"Drumming and sailing! The fireboat strikes!"

Then, the drums of war on the flagship sounded. At this time, Wang Tai, on the Taiping Mountain a few miles west of Hong Kong Island, was also guarded by the brigade guards, standing on the mountain and looking southeast.

Suddenly heard the faint drum sound from the silent night, Wang Yun knew-the decisive battle began ...

In the sounds of battle drums, along with the drums, the fireboat lifted the sails in this order, and took turns to pass through the waterway on the west side of the iron wave island, into the deep water bay, and then quickly lined up, following the southwest wind and rushing into the bay ... …

Because the attack had already been launched, the Ming Army no longer remained silent, but bursts of shouts of killing. The Portuguese sailors on the pier finally felt wrong and began to shout:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The shallow-sleeping grape was about to be awakened by the soldier, and he stood up scoldingly to check the situation. And many Portuguese sailors above rice wine are still asleep.

The degree of rice wine is not high, but it is really easy to get up. Many Portuguese sailors do n’t feel anything when drinking. After falling asleep, they fall asleep ...

Hong Hengjiu didn't drink much. He heard the old noise and was awakened.

When he was dressed in a hurry, the Ming's fireboat fleet had already lined up and started to rush towards the dock. Among them, some of the fireboats rushing to the front row have started to ignite, and the flames on the ship have risen ...

"Not good, 'burn the Chibi'!" Hong Hengjiu also heard the storytelling of the Three Kingdoms, and naturally knew the classic Chibi War. So, seeing the flames rising 1 mile away from the sea, he knew that something was bad.

So he rushed to the house where Dagama lived and shouted:

"Admiral, quickly send someone to evade the boat! Quickly send someone to evade the boat!"

Dagama had just dressed and came out, and before he could understand what was going on, he heard Hong Hengjiu's horrified cry.

"What's going on? Bernardo, you ask Xiahong, what is he shouting?"

Bernardo immediately started to communicate with Hong Hengjiu, and then the cold sweat on Bernardo's head shed ...

After understanding the meaning of Hong Heng Jiu, Bernardo immediately ran to Gama and said:

"Master Governor, Hong said, the enemy is rushing over with a row of fireboats. There are oil, sulfur, and other flammable things on the fireboat. Once they stick to our warship, our warship will be burned!"

"I x!" Dagama couldn't help but swear, so he shouted in horror:

"Everyone, board the ship quickly, steer the sailboat away from the berth, and evade to both sides!"

Dagama shouted three times in a row, and many awake Portuguese sailors hurriedly began to board the ship, preparing to sail, and leaving the dock by boat.

However, a lot of Portuguese sailors who are strong in wine are still sleeping ...

Dagama shouted angrily:

"Don't worry about those drunks, everyone, get on the boat quickly! Get out of the boat and avoid the enemy ships on fire!"

At this time, the front row of fireboats were only about 300 meters away from the outermost battleship. At this time, the speed of the fireboat is about 5 knots, which is more than 2.5 meters per second. The distance of 300 meters can be reached in about two minutes.

Even though some Portuguese sailors moved quickly, the outermost Portuguese warships had been glued to the Ming munitions and began to burn with them.

Seeing this, Dagama jumped upright. In the Portuguese naval camp, many people were frightened like headless flies, and there were signs of bombing camps.

Hung Heng gritted his teeth on September 1 and suggested:

"Don't care anymore, Lord Governor, take the sober soldier to the nearest ship to escape, can run one is one!"

Dagama felt distressed for a while, but he also knew that Hong Hengjiu's suggestion was correct. Therefore, he could only bear the pain of taking the first batch of Portuguese sailors who had sobered up and boarded the warships closest to the side.

However, at the beginning of manipulating the ship, everyone realized that something was wrong. Because the rudder can't pry ...

"Oops, it must be the Ming army who ruined the rudder ..." Hong Heng-jiu was dripping with sweat. But he knew that if he was caught, he would definitely die as a national traitor, and would also affect the whole family.

In desperation, he can only recommend Dhagama:

"Sir Governor, quickly send someone to check the rudder!"

Then, some Portuguese sailors jumped into the water and began to check the rudder condition. At this time, the outermost Portuguese warships had already ignited a raging fire. Moreover, the gunpowder barrel on the ship also caused martyrdom and accelerated the burning of the warship.

The more than 10 Portuguese warships forcibly anchored and set sail from the inside, the first two were unable to turn the rudder, and directly hit the coastline ...

Finally, an experienced diving sailor found the culprit of the rudder failure, he shouted:

"Remove the dagger plugged into the rudder blade!"

...

After hearing his words, more than 10 sailors who jumped into the sea to check the tail of the starting Portuguese warship began to look for the dagger on the rudder blade. Then, before the ship arrived, a total of 7 warships successfully restored the rudder function.

"Rushing out of the cracks of that small island!" Seeing that the deep water bay exit west of Dalbo Chau was blocked by Ming munitions, Dagama had to take risks, and it was easy to rush towards the 7 warships with restored sailing capabilities. The very narrow shallow water channel sandwiched between the east side of Dianbozhou and Hong Kong Island.

Fortunately, the tonnage of Portuguese warships in this era is not large, only two or three hundred tons. Therefore, several ships were successfully passed. However, the flagship "Prince Enrique" that Dhama rides is unfortunately stranded on this narrow waterway because of the largest tonnage ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~

"Abandon ship! Let's go to the Leiria!" Seeing that the unlucky Portuguese warships behind him had already ignited a blaze in the fireboat formation, because they were afraid of being bitten by the Ming sailors, Dagama had to endure pain and ordered to give up The flagship, the "Prince Enrique" with a displacement of 450 tons, and the crew ran onto the Leiria in a small boat.

Seeing this scene, the warships behind the Ming army immediately came to chase. However, the stranded "Prince Enrique" happened to block the Ming's naval warship and gave the previous Portuguese ships the opportunity to escape ...

Eventually, the remaining six ships entered Repulse Bay and fled to the middle of the sea in a hurry.

Moreover, unfortunately, the crew of the six ships that fled were seriously insufficient. Often 150-person battleships, each ship has only about 50 sailors. In other words, the Portuguese fleet of about 3750 sailors escaped only 300 people, not even one-tenth ... And most of them escaped were pure sailors and few gunners. Even if there are a lot of artillery on board, most of them have lost their place ...

Seeing this, Dhagama sadly came from it and couldn't help but spit out a bit of blood and fainted ...
