Chapter 132: The Shining of Cold Weapons
In just two days, everything in the south of the island changed drastically.
The banner of the word "Zheng" floated on Heliao Port.
The seven Kun bodies, six Kun bodies, and five Kun bodies were all taken down by Zheng Jun. No matter how strong the latter is, it is just a small double-layer artillery base. It is also a cannon land that mainly faces the western ocean.
Shooting with blind spots.
In this way, the four Kun bodies, three Kun bodies, two Kun bodies and three sandbanks were all happily abandoned by the Dutch.
Instead of putting the person there and waiting to die, it would be better to take back the city of Relan Cha. But before giving up, they used medicinal powder to blow up all the cannons and cannons in their hands.
A large number of Zheng troops followed the trend into the Kunzhen Sand Bank, and the first thing they had to control was the Dayuan Town in the east of the Relanzha Castle.
However, at this time, Dayuan Town had become unrecognizable, and thousands of residents were left outside and were driven out of their homes by the Dutch.
The latter was flying the tricolor flag of the Dutch and had turned into a large military stronghold. The Dutch began to transform the town and build fortifications a few months ago to make it form a horn with the Gerland Castle.
Before the Zheng army climbed the sandbank, they drove out a large number of residents in the town. From time to time, these people were all Han people.
The remaining people in the town are all relatives of the two Japanese devils like Liu Yuan and Guo Bao. How many such people are there? No one can tell the specific number clearly, and there are probably less than a thousand people.
The biggest function of this move is to bind Zheng Jun's footsteps. Lin Xishan, who was the first to land, was originally going to directly attack the Dayuan Town, but now he can only appease these people first.
"General, look..." The four old Dutch lock ships in the inland sea were already well known to Zheng's soldiers. They had already appeared as early as when Zheng's army defeated Liukun in the sandbank.
Four old gate ships with traditional Chinese sailing and streamlined Western hulls were loaded with dozens of light and heavy artillery. They tried to bully the sandbank and launched artillery bombardment on the Zheng army several times, but they were defeated by the shore artillery group arranged by the Zheng army on the sandbank.
In the dark night, the Dutch could not sail, so as not to encounter a shallow beach. Zheng Jun took the opportunity to transport one cannon to the sandbank. The barrels and the cannon trucks separated from each other, and then assembled one after the landing.
Artillery positions were on high alert, and the Dutch's old gate ship could only return without success.
So, it would be a blessing for Zheng Jun to successfully get the six Kun Body Sands before, which was really a blessing for the iron mold casting artillery technique. If this method hadn't greatly increased the number of artillery in Zheng Jun, it would have been difficult to successfully climb the Kun Body Sands with pure army.
But now this man screamed at the outer sea, and there were also shadows of sails on the outer sea surface, and Dutch sailboats appeared. It was so fucked that they were under the control of both sides.
"Damn it!"
Lin Xishan cursed. Even if the range of heavy artillery on the Dutch ship could not be too close, the sea area between the two Kun and the one Kun could probably be covered by half.
Although at such a long distance, the naval gun has long lost its accurate head. However, the shells without accurate head can still kill people!
Looking at the beach, teams of women, children and people with no money and empty hands were riding on grasshopper boats under the guidance of the soldiers. He suddenly turned around and scolded to the adjutant: "I won't go and notify me quickly, fool."
In the town of Dayuan, Robben brought people to the roof of a three-story building to observe the scene on the beach. The Dutch fleet with flying flags and sails appeared in the telescope. Robben's face was full of smiles: "The Chinese really don't know how to break into my territory. Then let them taste the power of our artillery and see how many boats they can have left?"
However, Lin Xishan saw the situation turning quickly, and the army crowds on the beach were rushing towards the inland sea. Although they might be hit by four old gate ships floating in the inland sea, they at least escaped from the artillery range of the Dutch fleet in the outland sea.
"Major, we should dispatch troops to attack the Chinese immediately, while they are in chaos now." A captain company captain named Wolm shouted to Robben.
The military and civilians on the beach should not be too confused at this time.
"This is a good idea. But there are so many Chinese people, and we can only send two companies at most." Robben said with some concern.
The lessons from Feerboge and Heliao Port made him worried.
But the Dutch officers behind him didn't think so. Wolm thought he could succeed. He patted his chest and said to Robben: "As long as I fire a roulette of guns, the Chinese soldiers will flee in all directions and collapse." Then he said to Robben: "It's daytime now, no longer a night of heavy rain. This is the combat environment we are familiar with. Don't look at the number of Chinese people. A Dutch soldier can fight twenty-five Chinese." It should be said that Wolm's arrogance is still well-founded. Because based on past combat experience, Eastern soldiers who use swords, spears, bows and arrows cannot stand the roulettes and attacks.
The Dutch looked down on China's muskets in many wars. It was not only because they were mostly backward mesh guns, but also because of the differences in the quality of muskets.
Now they have fought with the Zheng army several times. The former, Ferbger, was surrounded and wiped out the entire army, while the latter, Heliao Port was attacked by the Zheng army during the heavy rainy night. The protruding thing is not a musket at all.
These people even regarded the Zheng army as the former Southeast Ming army and looked down on them very much.
Now, Zheng's artillery is restrained by warships appearing on both sides of the inside and outside. From this perspective, they all win and fail.
The biggest difference between the One Kun Body Sandcrust and the other six sandcrusts is its vast area. As the Dutch nest in the south of the island, there are a large number of Dutch soldiers here, and the number is by no means comparable to the other six Kun Body Sandcrusts.
There are three companies stationed in only one Dayuan Town, two standard military companies, and one is a militia company recruited from Dutch merchants.
So, Wolm obviously miscalculated this time.
The muskets in Zheng Jun's hands are absolutely not bad, not to mention the tiger squat cannons that follow the army. Moreover, each unit is equipped with a team of rattan soldiers.
The rattan soldier is one of the signatures of the Ming army in the South. It was launched in the Qi Jiguang era. He held a rattan shield in one hand and a goose feather quick knife in the other hand. He wrapped the key points of the chest with solid cotton. The shield plus solid cotton can minimize the lethality of the bullets. Taking advantage of the gap between the rotation of the gun, he used rattan cards to cover his body and advanced in a rolling and jumping manner. Once he approached the enemy, he used the ground-rock technique to chop the enemy's feet.
This army reminded Zheng Zhilong of "The Deer and the Cauldron". Therefore, it was not abolished, and the rattan soldiers in Zheng's hands were not established. When he saw that there seemed to be many people in the original army practicing rattan, but only four or five hundred people were really outstanding.
Zheng Zhilong formed a battalion of their 100-man team.
In his mind, such troops still have a certain effect. In cooperation with the rafting soldiers, when the two armies entered the shooting distance, they suddenly released these individuals to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, which is a good way.
The rattan soldiers in history have made contributions to the Battle of Grand Secretary and the Northland in the Battle of Jaquessa, which can be regarded as a shining glory of the Chinese cold weapon army in this era of hot weapons gradually rising.
Wolm led his troops to attack and immediately divided his subordinates into two teams, attacking the Zheng army with fifteen people in a row.
Lin Xishan's troops had two battalions and more than 2,000 troops. Then he immediately allowed one battalion to stay on the beach for the aftermath, and led another battalion to open its formation and face the enemy head-on.
The Dutch army fired first with the three-pound cannon she carried, while Lin Xishan fought back with a large turtledove-legged gun.
