Chapter 169 Darkness Chen Cang

After the artillery bombards three rounds, the gun body needs to be cooled. This is the same as the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. There is a risk of explosions in continuous artillery bombardment.

The commander of the Dutch fleet, Kau, used a thousand-mile mirror to scan the mountain behind the shelling, and saw smoke and dust falling over the city wall, which had been destroyed by cannons.

The Dutch were scattered across the sea, and no one could withstand the concentrated bombardment of Dutch gunboats. Under such fierce shelling, most of the Chinese on the top of the mountain were either injured or killed, and perhaps had escaped from the north.

At this time, three hundred Dutch soldiers landed one after another. They gathered a little and formed three square formations to approach Jintang Mountain.

Jintang Mountain is not steep, the side close to the harbor is very gentle, and it is a long slope.

Dutch musketeers with a helmet, a plate armor on their chest, and a flintlock in their hands, lined up in three rows, approaching the damaged castle walls with gaps everywhere.

Between the gap between the musketeers, there are spearmen wearing heavy armor, with only eyes exposed on the helmet, and plate armored on the front and back.

The Dutch musketeers and their spearmen were interlaced like piano keys, and each team of musketeers had a spearmen on each side.

This is a kind of infantry formation after the Western military reform. Later, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China, this kind of interlaced formation also appeared.

His advantage is that during the battle, musket soldiers come forward and rogue guns to kill the enemy. When the enemy advances, the spear phalanx faces the enemy, and the musket phalanx faces the enemy, and the musket phalanx faces the enemy. The two arms intersect and complete the position change.

At this time, three hundred Dutch people approached. Behind the collapsed fort wall, the Ming soldiers hiding in the trench jumped out of the trench, picked up muskets and bows, and quickly came to the front of the defense line.

For a moment, behind the broken city walls, there were musketeers and archers shooting remotely. Behind them, there were a large number of serious-looking swords, shield soldiers and spearmen.

"Ma Qianshi, fight!" Ruan Mei held a flintlock rifle, "The brothers were all stunned by the red-haired ghost's cannon. If you don't fight now, we will collapse as soon as the red-haired ghost rushes."

The shelling just now was too shocking, and more than 150 cannons were bombarded together, which was enough to cause the weak-willed person to collapse.

Now everyone is a little afraid of Hongmaoyi. If Hongmaoyi is approached, the soldiers may retreat in fear.

After all, Zhao Ming left the elite soldiers in Chongming to guard against the Qing army. He was not elite soldiers on the island, and he recruited and reorganized two thousand people. Although there were many people, it was not necessarily reliable to fight.

Ma Shiao was also in a state of mind, but he didn't expect that Hongmao Yi's firearm was so sharp.

Now that the Red-Farewell Infantry Army was touched, he didn't know the details, but he couldn't get closer, so he roared, "Battle!"

Behind the unbuilt fort wall, the Ming army musketeers with muskets standing up with muskets on their backs against the wall, immediately stood up, revealing half of their body, and a row of bird guns and muskets were placed on the wall on their chest, and hundreds of muskets were placed one by one, which was quite shocking.

"Bang bang bang bang~" Ming soldiers took the lead in firing, and a row of muskets shot out gunfires and bullets, and smoke filled the front lines.

Dangdang, the projectile hit the Dutch, and the sparks were splashing everywhere. The bird gun was not powerful enough to break the armor on the chest. There were only a few people who were knocked down by the flintlock gun.

This made the Ming army musketeers panic, and at this moment, the Dutch raised the musket, and the officer leading the team shouted, "Schieten! (Shooting)"

Dutch musketeers pulled the trigger together, and the flintlock rifle flashed like a brilliant galaxy.

Amid the banging gunshots, smoke instantly spread across the front. The first row of Dutch musketeers who had fired a shot raised their guns and retreated, and the second row immediately raised their guns and fired.

More than a hundred projectiles roared out and shot straight towards the Ming army. The projectiles hit the fort wall and splashed the gravel. The projectiles hit the Ming army. The Ming soldiers immediately howled and fell to the ground with their backs.

The flintlock rifle is powerful, has high accuracy and fast firing speed. The Ming soldiers behind the fort wall were knocked down continuously. Ruan Mei hurriedly squatted down with the gun. A soldier next to him could not dodge and was hit in the chest by a projectile, a ball of blood mist rose up, and fell to the ground and died on his back.

The Dutch shot continuously, and the Ming army was suppressed and the morale was shaken.

At this time, the Dutch officer gave another order, and the heavily armored spearmen thrust the spears and stepped forward together, passing through the gaps in the musket array, and pressing towards the fort wall.

The Ming army fort wall had not been built yet, and it was only as high as the waist, and it was bombarded by the Dutch artillery, which was not very useful.

"The red-haired ghost is coming up!" A soldier exclaimed, with a hint of panic in his tone.

After hearing this, Ma Shiao hurriedly shouted: "Arrower, shoot the arrow!"

The archer behind the fort wall immediately raised the arrow and then pulled the arrow. The arrow pointed to the sky diagonally and let it go.

With the sound of strings, hundreds of arrows rose into the air, were thrown into the sky like locusts, and then fell rapidly, falling on the Dutch spearman like raindrops.

"Ding Ding Dangdang" the sound of an arrow hitting the Dutch spearmen in plate armor, except for a very few who were shot, the rest of the people continued to move forward without any trouble.

For a moment, the Ming army was shocked and riots were instantly shocked.

Seeing this, Ma Shiao was anxious and yelled quickly, "Killer Team, defeat the red-haired ghost!"

The Ming army's platoon platoon and spearmen showed hesitation, but they still roared and gave themselves courage, picked up their weapons and jumped over the collapsed fort wall, and rushed towards the spearmen coming from the array.

These spear soldiers were wearing heavy armor and could not be injured by swords. They formed formations and stabbed spears, but the Ming army did not have the advantage.

The Dutch formed a formation and stabbed, and there were musketeers behind him to protect the Ming army. He actually killed the Ming army step by step.

At the moment of crisis, Chen Yujie came with a team of soldiers. Each of them had several iron balls the size of fists hanging on them, holding a fire break in one hand and an iron ball in the other.

"Light up, throw it!" Chen Yujie shouted anxiously.

Several iron balls flashed with sparks and fell into the Dutch square formation. Suddenly, with a "bang", exploded in the formation, a ball of white smoke rose up, and knocked down the Dutch spearmen.

However, the power of black gunpowder is small, and the grenade throwing is less loaded. The explosion caused a riot, but most of the Dutch people who were blown up again.

...

During the fierce battle on Jintang Island, Zhao Ming led his fleet north to a small island in the north.

At night, Zhao Ming stood in the boat building. Sunsijiang took a torch and climbed onto the main mast and danced. Soon, a huge black shadow was used to harbor, which was hidden for many days.

Huang Binqing was strong and had a large number of troops. It was difficult to decide the outcome in a head-on conflict for a while, and Zhao Ming had no time to waste his time with him.

Therefore, after grasping the dynasty, Zhao Ming planned a plan to take advantage of his wisdom.

Soon, the Zhenyuan and the Fu ship approached. Zhao Ming and Wang Chao first boarded the Zhenyuan from the stairs. Nearly a hundred soldiers in the cabin also moved to the Zhenyuan one by one.

Zhao Ming then ordered Sun Sijiang to continue to lead the fleet. He took Wang Chaoxian to Zhoushan on the Zhenyuan ship, preparing to capture Huang Binqing and an old man. In the name of Huang Binqing, he mobilized Zhoushan naval army and launched a sudden attack, blocking the Dutch in Liegang, and annihilated the Dutch in one fell swoop.

At night, ships broke through the waves, the sea was pitch black, and the soldiers were crowded on the deck to accumulate strength.

After learning about Zhao Ming’s plan, Guo Zhong was a little worried, “Will the Grand Marshal go there in person, be too risky!”

Zhao Ming said: "Don't worry, Hongmaoyi attacked Jintang Island fiercely, and Huang Binqing would not have thought that this coach would attack him!"
