Chapter 345 Famous in History

Ma Cheng's palm was sweating. This was the most advanced Western warship in the world. The powerful power of smoothbore heavy artillery. The large number of Franc cannons equipped by the Ming navy and pirates were not the opponent of these advanced sailing battleships. The decision to attack Penghu.

Incredibly glorious and correct, there should be a big book in the history of later generations, a classic example of naval attacks. While pondering, several large explosions occurred in the Dutch fleet that were tilted around. The shock waves caused by the explosion occurred for two miles.

The flagships outside can feel them and sway for a while.

The series of deaths destroyed the Dutch fleet's will to resist. Horse City was ecstatic and was about to order the stop of shooting. Pirate ships of all sizes had already turned around on the water, gathered to cover the infantry's landing, and even used a banner to request ashore to help the battle.

The city was happy. Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng were really talented. They were much better than the fools of the Ming Navy who ate imperial grain. They were good at fighting and could fight, so they should be used. As the sound of ammunition that sounded from time to time, the Dutch fleet turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Most of the sailors were killed and injured in the sea of ​​fire, and those who jumped into the boat were shot and killed in the sea. Seeing that there was no signal on the flagship, Yan Yang and the others began bloody killings without restraint.

The landing fleet slowly landed on the shore, and shot and strangled the Dutch soldiers in the sea.

On the flagship, Ding Wenchao grinned and cursed: "These thief birds are really cruel."

The generals of the governor Biao camp who followed the army looked at each other and didn't know whether they should persuade them.

After a long time, a Fuzhou general advised in a low voice: "Master, kill prisoners and don't surrender."

Ma Cheng just pretended not to hear it. The general shrank his neck awkwardly and dared not persuade him again. He was soaked in cold sweat. It turned out that Ma Dama and the group of pirates were all along the way, and he was cruel and ruthless. So many Dutch soldiers who fell into the water

There must be thousands of people who died in the sea like this, with floating corpses everywhere and wreckage of warships everywhere. It was so miserable. Two hours after the sneak attack was launched, the Ming army's land forces stepped on Penghu Island.

Amid the shrill bamboo whistle unique to the Kaiyuan soldiers, teams of armored soldiers gathered on the beach and lined up.

Ma Cheng stood on the flagship and looked at the Dutch soldiers who were organizing defense not far away. He felt like iron and stone, and the sacrifice was worth it. This battle would be famous in history. A quarter of an hour after landing, four strict formations had already been

In the front row, there are moving shield walls and spearmen behind them, and behind them are gangs of archers, and large groups of pirates who try various firearms, Sun and Moon Battle Flags, and Horse-character Flags were erected.

Two large formations were launched with a loud bang, and the three shield walls moved neatly like steel city walls.

The Ming army was attacked by Dutch soldiers as soon as it was launched. Hundreds of Dutch soldiers in bright red tail uniforms lined up in three rows, with a heavy convex gun on a fork. Ma Cheng's face was blankly watching the smoke rising, and the fire was shining.

Flashed, a subordinate fell head-on in the neat shield wall, his face was already numb. These hundreds of people should be the absolute elite of the Dutch, most of which were in the medron battalion.

Soon another round of volleys was fired, and the Ming army's battle formation that was advancing at a constant speed was actually stopped. After the third round of volleys, the front shield hands fell down a large area like cutting wheat, making Ma Cheng's numb heart

After a sudden pull, this was the first time I had seen the elite Westerners' melee camp. The combat skills perfectly killed people like art, but they harvested the lives of their subordinates. They lined up and shot them in perfect orders, and the extremely sharp heavy fuse

Gun battalion.

After more than a dozen rounds of volleys, the Ming army of the two large formations had fallen half, and the front-row shield hands were completely lost. The sacrifice of the front-row armored soldiers finally gave their colleagues the opportunity to fight back. The archers and pirates raised their hands one after another.

The armed bow and muskets fought back, and relied on the large crowds of people to use dense armor-breaking heavy arrows and flying bullets to scream and roll up the heavy grenade camp. The Ming army's armored soldiers rushed forward with their spears,

The Dutch soldiers who kept falling down tried their best to organize firepower. Every volley made Ma Cheng's mouth twitch. Every volley took away the lives of the elite soldiers of the Zhejiang soldiers.

Macheng was really unwilling to fight such a battle, and it was as stupid as the natives fighting against modern troops. For half an hour, the last few Dutch soldiers were shot into hornets' nests, and their bodies were filled with sharp arrows and slowly fell down.

The Ming army soldiers rushed into the Dutch camp like a tide, killing people when they saw them. The Ming army, which was seriously injured, was extremely fierce, and the pirates were also red in their eyes, killing corpses everywhere, regardless of gender, age and young. The Dutch resistance

It was very intense. Many men held handguns and fired through the wooden fence, while women organized themselves to load ammunition.

The island was in a fierce melee, without the establishment resistance, nor the large-scale surrender. Ma Cheng was really surprised. If it weren't for the sneak attack and wanted to recover Penghu, most of the three thousand infantrymen would have been killed or injured, and the Dutch would not have been like this.

As the rumors put down the weapons and surrendered obediently, although the establishment was broken up, it was still unsuccessful. It was very difficult to clear it up. It was thought that this was related to the historical environment in the Netherlands.

At this time, the Netherlands had just become independent from the Kingdom of Spain. The inertia of long-term wars was in the stage of the whole nation being a soldier, and it was also the stage of the strongest morale and combat effectiveness. The island of Penghu was very active, with Dutch merchants guarding, heavy convoys battalions and sailors forming resistance.

The power was at least 2,000. Because it was Sunday, most of them had no time to receive equipment. Tall Dutch soldiers wearing colorful dresses and holding self-defense guns could be seen everywhere.

The lethality of the hand gun is far worse than that of the combs, and its lethality to the Ming army's armored soldiers is limited.

Yan Siqi, Yang Tiansheng's pirates are very good at fighting. Yang Tiansheng has a rifled musket team, each with a sharp front-mounted rifle, with a very long range and extremely powerful force, one hundred and twenty rifle guns, one hundred and twenty

A gunman with extremely accurate marksmanship, three or four hundred young men responsible for loading ammunition, can shoot three to four times a minute, and it has suppressed all the elite Dutch soldiers. It should be the core combat power of Yan Yang and his men.

Looking at the rifled gun team that was lined up to fire three or four hundred meters away, Ma Cheng's heart moved. A rifled gun appeared in Europe more than a hundred years ago, but because of the high manufacturing cost, it was very inconvenient to load ammunition before it was loaded.

With popularization of scale, this well-made rifle rifle should be a high-end shotgun popular in the European royal family. There is also a small amount of equipment in the royal guards of various countries. Even equipment that cannot be popularized in Europe will be even more unlikely to be popularized in the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of gun manufacturing process is very complicated and it is very troublesome to use for combat. The gunman is only responsible for firing, and hundreds of flexible teenagers are responsible for loading. Only nobles and pirates can play. When they go to the battlefield, they have to bring a few loaders.

, it is impossible to queue up and shoot. Considering the barren resources and poor processing technology of Kaiyuan and Jizhou, Ma Cheng sighed that he could not play rifle in a short period of time. If a weapon cannot be widely popularized on a large scale, then

If you use weapons to create any military value, you should set your target a little lower and first train a few heavy-core gun battalions.

The rifled rifle has appeared in Europe for a long time, but no country uses rifled rifle as a main combat weapon, and is just a toy for the nobles to enjoy. The reason is very simple, with the technical conditions of this era, the rifled rifle is purely hand-made and artificially carved.
