Blood from Daming

Chapter 520 Artillery Fire
Xue Yun and Peng Langjun quickly entered the gun bay on the next floor to deal with the resisting Dutch soldiers; while two or 300 Dutch navy soldiers rushed to the bottom of the ship, and the marines of Wang Erwa and Luo Erwa basically completed the battle with special firearms. The action of burning pirate ships and merchant ships with oil, the southern bank of the Hejiang Inner Sea was full of flames, and violent explosions continued to be heard from the hull. The biggest flame rose more than ten feet high, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky, and some pirate ships had already begun to be burned. It burned down, and many Franco cannons on the pirate ship fell into the sea.

After the naval artillery of the Xue family army completed ten rounds of fixed-point shooting, the marines of Wang Erwa and Luo Erwa quickly rushed over from east to west. The Dutch navy, which lacked guns, couldn't stand it at all. The sound collapsed, and nearly three hundred naval officers and soldiers scattered in all directions.

The marines of Wang Erwa and Luo Erwa went through an inventory, and in addition to killing [-] or [-] Dutch navy soldiers, they also captured [-] or [-] prisoners. He quickly joined the crew and began to retreat to the four three-masted warships.

At this time, the commander of the Dutch fortress Reilsen led a team of more than 500 mercenaries and immigrant armed forces, and rushed out from the north gate of Promincia Castle. The troops fought.

Before Leiersheng's musketeers formed a formation, the marines led by Wang Erwa and Luo Erwa slammed them with grenades. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers in Leshan were killed or injured. It became chaotic, and then the marines fired a volley of guns, and dozens of Dutchmen were knocked down.

In this way, the Dutch reinforcements led by Lei Ersheng, all the casualties in front were lying on the ground, and the Dutch soldiers walking behind were unwilling to leave the castle. However, Lei Ersheng saw the opportunity to attack the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately He ordered his soldiers to send a message to the castle to bomb the Ming Dynasty's Xue family army in front of them.

Marty Sunke, who had been staying on the watchtower, was very embarrassed. The Xue family's army had attacked the Dutch navy fleet for almost half an hour, and the Xue family's army was obviously carrying out a partial attack on the Netherlands. In the open space on the north side of the castle, the "Pingnan Pass" and "Weiyuan City" troops marched out, but they did not attack Promincia Castle.

As for the battle of the Xue family army concentrated on the Dutch navy fleet, Mattisunke has already understood this point. If he fires artillery to attack the northern combat troops of the Xue family army, it will evolve from a partial battle to a comprehensive battle. But Mattisunke knows that since his niece Li After Ya sent two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to relatives, friends and immigrants in the castle, many people in the castle believed that Liya could protect the interests of the Dutch and allow the Dutch to stay in Taiwan to make money. The Dutch in the castle were willing to resist Xue Jiajun's will has dropped a lot.

Gao Wenlu, the commander appointed by Mattisunke, was silent, but his nephew Laelke was murderous, urging his uncle Mattisunke to fire. Where did Mattisunke hesitate, because the officers in the main battle were all killed by Rael. Most of the people who stayed in the watchtower were wealthy merchants of Promincia Castle and subordinates loyal to Matty Sunk.

Lerk, who represents the honor of the new generation of young soldiers in the Netherlands, rushed down the watchtower excitedly. Many wealthy businessmen hoped that Matty Sunke could stop Lark's crazy move, but Matty Sunke was indifferent and stood alone. He didn't say a word there, Gao Wen was unable to persuade Matty Sunke, so he had no choice but to leave the watchtower to stop Laelke's stupid move that led to the destruction of Promincia Castle.

"Boom" a shot was fired under the watchtower. This shot was fired by the gunner himself, which was kicked off by Lerk. Of course, such a shot had no results at all, but it became a signal cannon for the Dutch artillery. The artillery on the north side of the West Asia Castle rang out one after another.

"Boom" "Boom" "..." "Boom" "Boom" "..." "Boom"

Puffs of smoke rose from the position of the Xue Jiajun Marine Corps. Although this round of shelling was not accurate enough, it still caused a lot of casualties to the Marine Corps. After the war, the first round of artillery by the Dutch caused 21 deaths and 27 injuries to the Marine Corps. The Marines quickly began to evacuate the density of the team, and the Dutch's second round of artillery improved the accuracy, but only caused eight deaths and nine injuries to the Marines.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The Xue family's army lined up on the west coast made an angry sound. About [-] warships of various types led by the "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" nearly [-] large and small Frang machine guns roared together, and at least half of the shells landed on the ground. Promincia Castle, the entire west side of the castle was blown up in a mess. The Dutch defenders on the west side of the castle suffered dozens of casualties, which also forced the Dutch artillery on the west side of the castle, which had been watching all the time, to join the battle.

However, the people on the watchtower at the height of the castle did not completely escape the volley of guns fired by the Xue family army. Immediately, a solid bullet smashed a square brick of the watchtower, and another solid bullet hit the left foot of a wealthy businessman. Suddenly, half of the left sole of the rich businessman was missing, and the jumping solid bullet scraped off a guard's finger, and the solid bullet finally jumped to a house wall and buried there.

The guard who lost two fingers could bear it. The rich businessman who lost his feet yelled a few times, and after seeing his soles, he passed out on the spot. Matty Sunke's face was very ugly when he saw it, and he ordered his guards to hurry up. Take that fainted rich merchant away,

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom", "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom".

Cannons rang out from "Pingnan Pass" and "Weiyuan City" almost at the same time, and solid bullets and shotguns rained down on the Promincia Castle. Mattisunke was stunned and saw with his own eyes the The wealthy businessman was knocked down five or six times, two of them were hit on the head, blood flowed all over the ground, and he probably couldn't survive. Mattisunke hurriedly hid in a blind corner of the watchtower.

Marty Sun Ke roared: "The Ming army's "Pingnan Pass" and "Weiyuan City" cannons hit the castle like this."

Gao Wenlu said: "Sir, the Ming army quietly transported the artillery to our noses, we..."

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The four three-masted battleships controlled by the Xue Family Army Special Forces and the Marine Corps also roared. Dozens of shells were fired from the bow and the left and right gun bays. Due to lack of preparation, they were knocked down a lot, and the people on the watchtower could no longer bear such a blow. In the blink of an eye, almost everyone ran away.

After Xue Yun took care of the Dutch soldiers resisting in the third cabin of the battleship Specx, he got the news that the artillery of Promincia Castle fired. The four Dutch warships that had just been captured launched a counterattack. The members of the Hangzhou Special Forces and the Marine Corps were all generalists, and they immediately took their positions and went into battle.

Xue Yun ordered the three-masted battleship to fire, which had the effect of surprising soldiers. Not only did they hit a lot of unsuspecting Dutch artillerymen, they also shot rabbits and smashed the Dutch soldiers who were prostrate outside the north gate of Promincia Castle. Dozens of people were killed and wounded. The firing of these four three-masted warships made many Dutch people wonder whether the Dutch artillery on the warships had mutinied. went into battle.

Although the Dutch somewhat wronged their loyal battleship artillery, they underestimated the strong technical support of the Xue family army. In the past few months, under Xue Yun's deliberate training, the number of soldiers with cannons in the Xue family army has doubled. The soldiers of the Xue family army are also very familiar, so the Dutch were not wronged at all when they were shot.

Xue's army besieged the Promincia Castle of the Dutch from the captured three-masted warships, from the sea in the west, and from both sides of "Pingnan Pass" and "Weiyuan City". All the artillery of West Asia Castle also fought back desperately, and the two sides fought more or less hard.

Xue Yun picked up the sailors on board, and at the same time issued strict orders to fight to the death against the Dutch in Promincia Castle. A target, throwing shells into the enemy's castle.

The fight between the two sides became fierce. One soldier fell, and another soldier picked it up. With more than a dozen rounds of artillery fire, the entire Promincia Castle was already brightly lit. Under the attack of Xue's army, Promincia Castle The artillery fire from the Dutch artillery was getting weaker and weaker. The dense artillery scared away Raelsen, who had vowed to fight the Xue family army. Unfortunately, he fled back to Promincia Castle. Half of the Dutch people crawling outside the castle did not If they could follow them back, they would lie on the cold ground forever.

More than 30 soldiers of Xue's army on the four three-masted battleships were killed by Dutch artillery fire. The losses in the other three directions should be even greater, but Xue Yun knew that his artillery was retreating. If he ordered the fleet to retreat, then " In Pingnan Pass and Weiyuan City, it is very difficult to move the small Flang cannons away quickly. If the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion are reluctant to part with the cannons, it will not only be difficult to withdraw the cannons from the position, but also the soldiers will be moved because of the transfer. The artillery suffered heavy losses.

Xue Yun was unwilling to invest infantry to attack this European-style castle, so he had no choice but to order all the artillery to continue fighting. As the artillery barrels became hot, a large number of artillery from the Xue family army also began to withdraw from the battle. However, the artillery of the Xue family army was still significantly more than that of the Dutch. There are fewer and fewer human cannons that can fire.
