Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 537 Cannon Fodder
The four Dutch sailing warships that lost power are actually Galen ships.

Under the bombardment of the Ming warship, it quickly turned into a super-sized hornet's nest and gradually sank into the sea water.

Some lucky people in the Netherlands who were not killed by the shells were struggling in the water at this time.

"Come here, bring me all those bastards struggling in the water."

"Yes"

The soldiers agreed, and quickly fished more than 20 Dutchmen onto the battleship.

Zhang Huangyan didn't want to care about their life and death, but Li Dingguo asked them to be fished into the warship, which made Zhang Huangyan a little confused about Li Dingguo's thoughts.

This guy is usually not polite to foreigners in wars, and almost all his subordinates don't save lives. How could he suddenly show kindness today?
As the saying goes, there must be a demon in everything that happens. Zhang Huangyan was so curious that he reached out and patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Master Hou, this is not your way of doing things! Don't tell us, you are starting to treat prisoners preferentially now."

Li Dingguo smiled and looked at Zhang Huangyan:

"Preferential treatment to prisoners? Yes, the Marquis will start to treat prisoners preferentially now. We can't just watch them drown. It's out of humanity."

"Good boy, just pretend! When they killed my Chinese people, it was already destined to be the result now!"

Zhang Huangyan didn't believe what Li Dingguo said at all, this guy is a butcher, he will show kindness to foreign devils?Liar almost!
Zhang Huangyan was not arguing with Li Dingguo anymore, and immediately sent an order:

"All the warships listened to the order, concentrated their firepower, and used solid ammunition and explosive ammunition to bombard the forts along the coast of Malacca to the governor."

"Yes"

Six armored battleships, ten sailing warships, and nearly a thousand naval guns immediately aimed their muzzles at the coast of Malacca and began carpet bombing.

"Rumble..."

……

Round after round of bombardment, smoke billowed from the coast of Malacca harbor, and the two forts were quickly bombarded by solid shells.

Even if the Dutch soldiers and indigenous soldiers on the shore were lucky enough to escape the bombardment of solid bullets, they would be bombarded with flesh and bones by the subsequent flowering bombs.

Zhang Huangyan kept staring towards the coast with a telescope in his hand, and he could clearly see the Dutch and indigenous soldiers who were blown away by the shells.

At last, when no one was seen to be active anymore, Zhang Huangyan hurriedly sent an order:

"Stop the shelling, the army can land."

Hearing that Zhang Huang said he could log in, Li Dingguo immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling his generals:

"The Dragon Army landed immediately, ready to fight."

"Yes"

Immediately, the voice of hundreds of households of the Longteng Army came over the intercom, and then ten sailing warships were seen rushing towards the seashore, and the iron-clad warships of the Ming Army were not far behind, and rushed towards the seaside.

The landing this time was very simple. The defenders on the shore were almost killed by the shelling just now. Even if they escaped, they all retreated to the Santiago Castle in fright and would not stay outside.

It can be said that the Ming army landed smoothly without encountering any resistance at all, and the soldiers quickly set foot on this land.

On the castle of Santiago in Malacca, the governor of Malacca, Bo Tuo, was watching the Ming army land with a single-tube telescope in his hand, and his face turned into a liver color.

"The Ming army has landed, and all soldiers are ordered to prepare for battle quickly. Once the Ming army arrives at the city of Santiago, they will be fired and killed immediately."

"Yes"

When Botto gave an order, the messenger immediately conveyed his order to every fort in the castle of Santiago, and the Dutch soldiers on the castle immediately began to load ammunition.

About two incense sticks, the Ming army appeared in formation not far from the castle of Santiago.

In fact, the number of Ming troops who attacked Malacca this time was not too large. The 4000 Dragon Banner Army plus the [-] Navy had a total strength of more than [-].

"Quickly, adjust the artillery and bombard the Ming army's camp hard."

Feeling that the formation of the Ming army should be within the range of the artillery on the San Diego Fort, Bo Tuo immediately ordered to fire.

However, the Dutch artillery found that something was wrong. Suddenly, more than 20 Dutch soldiers appeared in front of the Ming army. These Dutch soldiers were all tied up.

Once the Santiago Castle fires first, it will definitely kill its own people.

The Netherlands has a small population and is scattered anywhere in the world. They will never allow them to shoot at their own people.

When Westerners launch wars, they generally do not kill captives easily, which makes Western soldiers raise their hands and surrender once they lose the enemy.

When the war is over, prisoners can be exchanged among them, and the prisoners will be free again, which has become a trick of Western powers.

"Look, Governor, there are a lot of Netherlanders in front of the Ming army, and they will be cannon fodder once they fire. See how we can deal with the Ming army.

"Ma De, the Ming army is too bad, please send me an order, don't fire."

After being reminded by his subordinates, Botuo also saw the Dutch soldiers in front of the Ming army. He was almost dizzy at that time, and hurriedly ordered not to fire.

Bombarding the captured soldiers in the Netherlands was something Botto would not dare to do anyway, the consequences were too serious.

Once known by the above, even if he killed all the Ming army, he would be accused in his own country, and even be sent to the guillotine.

On the side of the Ming army, the general formation of the Ming army would be outside the range of the enemy's artillery, but this time Li Dingguo ordered the Dragon Banner Army to line up within the range of the opponent's artillery.

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly stopped Li Dingguo's reckless approach:
"Master Hou, get out of the range of the red-haired artillery and line up. It's too dangerous. Be careful of being caught by foreign devils."

Li Dingguo just smiled:
"It's okay to be the governor, I bet the foreign devils dare not shoot at the Ming army."

"Zhang Huangyan was taken aback by Li Dingguo's decision, shaking his head like a rattle:
"Master Hou, don't be joking. This is absolutely not acceptable. This is betting the lives of the soldiers of the Ming army. The Holy Majesty will never allow this."

Although Zhang Huangyan is the deputy commander of the navy, he can't control Li Dingguo. They are now in a cooperative relationship, so they can only try to dissuade Li Dingguo.

They are the Dragon Banner Army, which is supported by the emperor's internal funds, and Li Dingguo himself is the Marquis of Dan, no matter which aspect he is, he is higher than Zhang Huangyan.

Li Dingguo knew that Zhang Huangyan was good for him and the Longqi Army, so he didn't care about Zhang Huangyan's tone, and waved his hand:
"Come on, bring those red hairs up and let them stand in front of the formation to block the shells for us. I don't believe that the Dutch dare to bombard their companions."

"Yes"

The soldiers gave the order, and quickly brought up the captured foreign devils, and let them stand in front of the Ming army.

Li Dingguo's coquettish operation made Zhang Huangyan realize suddenly. Now he finally understands why Li Dingguo suddenly showed kindness, that's why!

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help giving Li Dingguo a thumbs up:
"Master Hou, I really didn't expect that you could come up with such a unique move. Zhang Huangyan was so impressed..."

Li Dingguo always felt that Zhang Huangyan was not praising him, but seemed to be mocking him.

The majestic Marquis of Ming Dynasty actually used such indecent tricks.
