The originally prosperous port of Malacca is now everywhere in war. Many merchant ships in the port were also burned by the war. However, more merchant ships were marked by the Portuguese, indicating that all these merchant ships were taken over by them as spoils.

This is also the reason why they did not let these merchant ships leave at the beginning. After all, with the Portuguese robber nature, they would not watch these worth ten thousand gold goods slip away from their eyes.

However, in comparison, the situation at the port is quite good. The Malacca River is really a word of misery. There were originally many villages on both sides of the river, but now they are all destroyed in artillery fire and in the ruins of the village.

Corpse were everywhere, and wild beasts were walking back and forth through the village, all of whom had round belly and shiny hair.

On the Malacca River opposite the city of Malacca, a bridge spans the two sides, but now the corpses are everywhere on the bridge, especially the two ends of the bridge are filled with corpses, and there are also dead corpses in the bridge holes under the bridge.

Even these corpses piled up together, almost cutting off the river water. No one knows whether there is hell in the world, but now the scene on both sides of the Malacca River is almost the same as the legendary hell.

However, in the center of this hell scene, that is, on the west side of the Malacca River surrounded by dead bodies, a Portuguese army of thousands of people was resting together, and dozens of large fires were hung with a large iron pot.

They cooked their lunch, and after dinner, they would attack Malacca City in one fell swoop and completely occupy this maritime transportation fortress.

Alfonso is now in this army. After several days of shelling, he has cleared all the forces outside the city of Malacca, and even the other party's simple navy was also bombarded into pieces by his warships.

, It can be said that there is no power at sea that can threaten them.

In the battle on land, Alfonso and the others were invincible. Now all the Malacca people have been huddled in the city, trying to rely on the solid walls to make the final resistance. However, the Malacca people are destined to be disappointed because just this morning

Alfonso then transferred several warships to bombard the city wall, but it was less than noon. The wall that the other party was proud of had collapsed a large hole, and whenever people were sent to block the big hole,

The warships on the Malacca River would open fire, but the hole not only became bigger and bigger, but also surrounded by corpses of Malacca people.

Alfonso is a very experienced general. After these days of war, he has seen that the Malacca people are now exhausted. And after repeatedly losing to his army, the Malacca people also recognized the gap in strength between the two sides and knew that no matter how much.

No matter how you are, you are not your opponent.

But this is their capital, so the people of Malacca have been holding on, but now the city wall is broken, it can almost be said to have caused the people of Malacca to fall into despair. But at this time, there is still a feeling of being with them in the hearts of Malacca people.

The courage to fight to the death, so Alfonso did not let someone rush in immediately, but used artillery to slowly consume the opponent's remaining courage. I believe it will not take long. The entire Malacca City will completely lose its resistance.

courage.

Alfonso's army was having lunch and consuming the last bit of courage of the Malacca people. But what they didn't know was that on the sea more than ten miles away, there were also a group of tiger and wolf troops calculating them.

On Zhou Chong's ship, a group of generals surrounded a simple sand table in the hall of the meeting. The tall and strong Chang Xiao was holding a stick in his hand and explaining to Zhou Chong and the others the situation in the Malacca port that spies found.

"Sir, please see, now the Portuguese have cleared the port, and all the Malacca people have already shrunk into the city. Now the Portuguese have mobilized all their forces to gather together and are ready to capture Malacca City in one fell swoop, but in this way, their ships will be

There are no more people, and we just happened to give us a chance!" Chang Xiao introduced with an excited look on his face.

During this period, Zhou Chong has never forgotten to send people to monitor the battle situation in Malacca City. With a powerful weapon like a telescope, spies can observe from a distance and don’t have to worry about being discovered by the other party. Therefore, Zhou Chong and others are very familiar with the situation in Malacca City.

Palm.

However, when talking about this, Chang Xiao paused for a moment and said in a little embarrassed manner: "It's just that this opportunity is good, but it is somewhat different from our previous expectations. The main reason is that the Portuguese have brought a total of eighteen warships, and now there are ten

All four ships were parked in the port, and there were not many guards on the ship, so we were sure to take them down in one fell swoop, but the other four were transferred to the Malacca River by Portugal to bombard the city wall. If we attack the warships in the port, we would definitely alarm the river.

The warships on board, so it is probably difficult for these four warships to be captured by sneak attacks."

When Chang Xiao said that he could not take down all the warships, Zhou Chong couldn't help but frown and said, "If all the warships cannot be taken down, then Portugal on the shore can retreat to these four warships at any time. If they do

If we rush out hard, we may not be able to achieve the goal of completely annihilation of the other party!”

Zhou Chong learned that the Portuguese knew nothing about their sneak attacks, and when most of them went ashore to fight, he was ready to wipe out the opponent. However, unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the last moment, and the opponent actually transferred.

After leaving four warships, this caused him a problem.

However, as soon as Zhou Chong finished speaking, he saw Shen Ying smiled and said, "Admiral, don't worry. General Chang and General Qu have proposed a feasible solution. Even if they leave the four warships to the Portuguese, it is not enough.

For concern.”

Zhou Chong was also happy when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what Chang Xiao and Qu Lie could do. As a result, Chang Xiao looked at each other, and then Qu Lie smiled and said, "Sir, my subordinates have already sent Malacca.

Although the estuary of the river is wide, the water at the estuary is not deep due to the accumulation of mud and water under the alluvial upstream. The Portuguese warships are tall and have a deep draft. They can only enter when the tide is high, so we can sneak attack while the tide is low.

The warships in the port, so that the warships in the river cannot be driven out in a short time, and at this time we can prepare several ships filled with sand and stones, and sink themselves when rowing to the estuary, so that the estuary can be blocked, even when the tide is high.

Don't think about coming out again!"

"It's amazing!" Zhou Chong also laughed when he heard this. As the saying goes, the law of military impermanence is not always good. There is nothing despicable or not despicable on the battlefield. The ultimate goal is only one, that is, victory, as long as you can win a battle.

Then you are a famous general, and no one cares about how you win.

After the general plan was decided, Shen Ying discussed the specific details of the sneak attack with Chang Xiao and others. Zhou Chong knew almost nothing about the military and could not give any suggestions, so he could only listen honestly and wait for everything.

After the details were discussed, Shen Ying and others asked Zhou Chong for his order. Only then did Zhou Chong play his role as the head coach, and let them do it with a wave of his hand, and it was necessary to wipe out the Portuguese in one fell swoop.

Just as the Ming army was busy preparing to attack the Portuguese warships, Alfonso, who was staying on land, had almost rested. He stood up and walked to a high slope, and looked up towards the direction of Malacca City.

After looking at it, it was easy to find that the Malacca soldiers on the other party's city wall no longer had the fighting spirit of the previous ones, especially under the scorching sun, the Malacca people seemed listless. It seemed that they had accepted the fate of being about to fail.

Seeing this, Alfonso sneered. He is almost sixty years old this year. He has fought countless battles in his first half of his life. And he usually encounters the semi-entimental natives in front of him. Although the local people in different places have different situations,

But he had a very accurate grasp of the psychology of these natives, and knew when to attack and when to retreat. This time he spent more than a month to wipe out the strength and fighting spirit of the Malacca people. Today he could finally get this one

The rich fruits that matured in the war must be hidden in the city of Malacca, and there must be countless treasures and treasures in the city, and these are the greatest rewards to oneself.

"Everyone lined up!" With Alfonso's shout, more than a thousand soldiers below immediately stood up and quickly lined up in columns. Although they were Portuguese, they used the Spanish side.

The formation is composed of spearmen and musketeers. During the battle, the spearmen form a dense phalanx. The musketeers are distributed in four corners and then advance forward together. They are very mobile and flexible during combat, with almost no

Any cold weapon troops can stop them from moving forward.

Alfonso had few troops in his hands, and most of these troops were navies on warships. So in order to increase the power of the phalanx, Alfonso deliberately increased the proportion of musketeers in the phalanx, and one out of 1,500 people was actually

The Musketeers of thousands of people almost reached the Spanish phalanx that was improved in later generations. It was precisely because of the increase in the proportion of musketeers that Alfonso's Spanish phalanx would be defeated. The Malacca people on the opposite side were still stuck in cold weapons.

The times are naturally not his opponent.

After the army was assembled, Alfonso immediately ordered the entire army to advance, and the target was the big hole that the artillery bombed on the city wall. The Malacca people on the city wall saw that the Portuguese finally attacked, which made them shocked and hurried.

Organize people to rush to the place where the city wall collapses to prepare for defense, but just as the Malacca army had just arrived at the place where the land collapsed, the Portuguese warships on the river immediately launched another shelling, which resulted in the Malacca people being killed and injured again, and the city wall was also bombarded again.

A lot of it, and what's worse is that the dust flying when the city wall collapsed covered all the walls, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alfonso led his army to attack the city in one fell swoop. The remaining troops in Malacca could not stop their attack at all, and were soon killed by the Portuguese musketeers. At the same time, Alfonso also issued a notice.
