Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 728 Bombing Paradise
Qin Gongming has always held low hope for tonight's action, but as a subordinate, it is not easy to dispel Liu Hongjian's enthusiasm.

In what he thought was a castle like Zelandia, the only way to seal it off was to wait until the food in the city was exhausted before it could be destroyed.

But Liu Hongjian didn't have such kung fu, he was in a hurry to support his brother Zheng Sen!
Furthermore, the recovery of Taiwan is a major event that can be remembered in history. Although he doesn't care much about these false names, but with the experience of later generations, he has a kind of obsession with Taiwan.

That is, it must be recovered in person, and it must be tightly and permanently incorporated into the Chinese territory, instead of looking across the sea and looking forward to it.

Liu Hongjian was very surprised by the surrender of the Gaoshan people. It can be seen that even the tribes in the mountains hate outsiders, because these outsiders are for plunder.

Looting resources, plundering wealth, and plundering everything of value, relatively speaking, the Han people are for survival and reproduction, and they really regard the place they belong to as their home. This is the biggest difference between the Han people and the Europeans.

But when Qin Gongming led his personal guards through the narrow city gate, he was stunned.

What kind of scene was that? The opening of the side door was about three steps wide, and there were layers of corpses, which were half the height of a person. No matter how fierce the Dutch soldiers outside were, they couldn't enter the doorway.

Caton's face turned green when he saw the Ming soldiers rushing in. He wished he had a grenade on him now, not too many, one is enough.

However, due to the limited supply and difficulty in supply, Governor Owat classified the grenade as a restricted firearm, and it must not be used at non-critical moments. Everything happened within a few breaths, so that he was not allowed to think at all.

"Damn it, are all the people in the barracks pigs? Why haven't they come to support!" Caton yelled, but the matter was irreversible, because the Ming soldiers' spears had already come out of the city gate.

"Brother, you go to the back and rest for a while, and then we'll see!" Qin Gongming didn't say much in a hurry, and rushed into the city with his men after saying a word, regardless of whether the Gaoshan tribe understood it or not.

There were three Gaoshan people in the city, but now there is only one left. Of course Qin Gongming knew the fate of the other two, but as a general under the chieftain's command, he saw too many corpses and blood.

But when he walked by Dado's side, he still paused and stretched out his only right arm to pat Dado's shoulder.

"There are all of them, within twenty steps ahead, the grenades can be thrown freely!"

The white soldiers in the front row used the standard white spears to push back the frightened Dutch soldiers, and then rushed in two rows sweating profusely, each with a row of grenades hanging from their waists.

Qin Gongming gave an order, and these profuse sweaters pulled out the grenade and threw it straight ahead without hesitation.

Boom-boom-

Before they had time to run too far, Caton and his men fell into the attack range of the grenade. Caton saw a sparking grenade falling two steps ahead, but he couldn't stop because he was running too fast. Hearing a loud noise, his entire body was blown half a foot high.

"Xing Yurong, you take 1000 people to attack the city wall, remember, what the prince said, don't use up all the grenades tonight, go back and eat boards!" Explosions were heard in front of him, and Qin Gongming yelled at his subordinates.

"Decree!" Xing Daorong licked his lips in the dark night, and accepted the order ferociously.

"The rest of you, follow me to face the enemy in front, everyone must not rush in, listen to my order, and prepare grenades!" Qin Gongming stared at the enemy coming ahead, and said viciously.

What weapon is the most powerful in the night, musket?No, no, no, the black lights can't see clearly, they can't hit people, and after one shot, there is no way to fire a second shot, because there is no way to reload.

In the dark night of this year, it is either the arrow feathers, or the sword and spear, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

But the appearance of the grenade overturned all of this. This kind of ranged explosive attack is simply a reminder of the night.

Before setting off, Liu Hongjian had expected bloody battles even if he entered the city, so he simply equipped all the 5000 people who participated in the siege at night with hand grenades, and circled each of them around their waists. As many as one.

Moreover, Liu Hongjian also issued a special order that if they could enter the city tonight, all soldiers would not be stingy with ammunition, and must use up all the grenades in their waists, which could be regarded as revenge for the hundreds of Sichuan soldiers who died in the city.

Qin Gongming sighed in his heart that the prince was acting recklessly, but at the same time he was a little grateful. The hundreds of men who died in the battle were killed by the hand grenades of the Dutch army. ?
In fact, if Liu Hongjian were here, he would laugh without saying a word.

The reason is simple, these grenades are about to expire.

Due to the existence of strong enemies in the north and south of Ming Dynasty in recent years, the grenade workshop of the Ordnance Institute has not stopped working, and the output is still increasing.

There are no less than 35 grenades stored in the armory at the western foot of the Western Mountain alone. The craftsmanship at this time is not like that of later generations, especially the fuze technique. The rate of stink bombs will increase sharply after the grenades are stored for a long time.

The grenades carried in the attack on Taiwan this time are a batch that has been stored for more than a year, and the rate of stink bombs is as high as 30.00%.

The frontal battlefield will naturally be greatly affected, but for this kind of night attack, regardless of whether it explodes or not, you will not lose if you throw it out, and you will earn if it explodes.

Boom—boom——

The belated Dutch army encountered heavy bombing as soon as they arrived at the gate of the east city. Major Katz, who led the team, went to see God without even seeing what the commander of the Ming army looked like.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty launched indiscriminate projectiles towards the place in front of them as if the grenades were free of money. In five breaths, at least [-] grenades fell on the battlefield in front of the east gate.

"Quickly go and report to the Governor, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty have broken through the city, we can't hold on anymore!" Sergeant Major Victor hid behind the city wall and pulled up one of his men.

At the same time, Zeelandia City, Governor's Mansion.

"Damn Caton, I knew that group of savages were not so kind!" Dutch Governor Owat smashed the precious porcelain on the table to pieces.

"My lord, Captain Carton has died in battle." The personal guard said depressedly.

"Where's Carlisle? Let his Englishman fire, aim at the eastern wall, fire!" Owat was going crazy.

He has been blessed recently, but misfortunes never come singly. First, the Zheng family of Daming oppressed him. Finally, the Zheng family was in trouble, but the chance of revenge did not fall on him.

But now, guarding a castle empty, but not having a warship in his hand, if so, the nasty soldiers of Ming Dynasty did not give him any chance to breathe.

Boom—boom—a different kind of explosion came from the west of the city again.

"Your Excellency, a large number of warships from Ming Dynasty have appeared in the west of the city. They... they have already started bombarding the west city!"
