The fire quickly expanded to the wooden corridor along the street. A loud bang on the street, and a huge ball of flame exploded. A thick white smoke spread out from the flames. The Dutch soldiers who were swarming in were knocked down by the splashed stones.

Those who were not dead screamed loudly on the ground, while those who were even farther away covered their faces and bumped around like headless flies.

Adding lime and arsenic to the gunpowder, the Ming army has used all these sinister tricks.

In the south of the city, there is a pretty finished yard of a house.

Yuan Keli sat in the yard with a big golden sword and angrily shouted: "Liu Tianyang, your people are here."

This Ming general was quite fierce and had already seen it. He pulled Ming's helmet and rushed into the street with his own men. With a loud bang, a brick house dozens of steps away on the left exploded.

Countless flying bricks and tiles sprinkled like raindrops on the running queue, smashing on the shaking Ming helmet, and a dense jingle sound sounded. The Dutch army's cannon fired again, and the remnants of the Ming army would be driven to the city at any time.

outside.

Some commands sounded from the side and back, some torches moved towards the east gate, and some bamboo whistles sounded alternately. The Taiwan military used their unique skills and hand-to-hand combat. The training of the Taiwan military was in line with the Kaiyuan military.

The spear formation is the basic skill. Hundreds of soldiers wearing thick cotton armor roared in unison and raised their armor-breaking spears. The speed gradually accelerated. The footsteps of colleagues were around. The jingle of iron armor collided and the jingle sounded densely.

Running faster and faster, until a front row soldier's spear pierced into the chest of a Dutch soldier opposite with a puff. No one could avoid it in the narrow street, and a dense spear could stab a

Target.

After dawn, Malacca City became strangely quiet.

The Dutch army attacked fiercely for a night but still could not drive the Ming army out of the city, and the Ming army was no longer able to launch a counterattack.

The two armies stopped strangely, and only a small part of the area was still fighting sporadically, and the frontier soldiers were exhausted.

Ding Wenchao led the fourth battalion reinforcements to arrive. He saw Yuan Gong with disheveled hair in a yard. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to take Yuan Gong away. Looking around, there were wounded soldiers and corpses everywhere, which made Ding Wenchao's cruel people terrified.

The fight was so miserable that night. The wounded soldiers and their bodies were carried out of the city. Ding Wenchao accepted the city defense and waited for the whole morning, but the Dutch army never launched an attack again.

Screaming and crying, a large number of wounded soldiers turned the Dutch barracks into hell on earth, and the Dutch army suffered heavy casualties overnight. Many commanders of the mercenary regiments who suffered heavy losses had refused to continue the attack, which made the fleet commander Duke Belles

Very helpless, the mercenary group could not bear such a large casualty. Some Swedish army commanders had already ordered the soldiers trapped in the city to withdraw. The Duke cursed the damn Swedes in his heart, and had to order the city to be

The remaining soldiers retreated and replaced them with a new legion to launch an attack.

However, the remnants were scattered everywhere, and it was not so easy to withdraw.

For a moment, the broken legion could not retreat, and the new legion was slow to recover and showed obvious timidity in the battle, and the battle situation was stalemate.

On the southern front, the main force of the Ming army under the command of Macheng also had no choice but to retreat. If he retreated, he would retreat into the mountains and forests.

Fierce battle broke out, and fierce artillery battles broke out between the Ming army artillery battalion and the Dutch army, which were no longer tolerant.

In order to win this battle, Macheng collected more than 200 artillery pieces of more than three pounds, formed three artillery positions, and fought a fierce artillery battle with the Dutch artillery with excellent artillery skills. The morale of the Dutch artillery was very high.

The gunman usually stands straight and does not dodge or dodge the whistling shells. The Dutch army's artillery is also very good, which makes the Ming army gunners at a disadvantage angry, but they are helpless.

The artillery battle was interrupted, and the cannons needed to stop and cool down, so the Dutch could not wait to launch an attack.

The Dutch army invested 3,000 troops at one time, and used cavalry to protect the two wings. Three thousand troops were arranged into three large arrays. The front row was erected with spears and the back row held muskets and advanced forward with great strides. The Ming army hid in the earth-building walls.

The Dutch army was ready for battle, and the two sides were in a war of artillery, and the cannons could not be pushed up to bombard these chest walls, chest walls, muskets and artillery, what did these damn Ming people learn this?

The chest wall musket and cannon are a perfect set of tactics. A hundred years ago, the German mercenaries used this set of tactics to defeat the arrogant Swiss infantry. The difference is the set of defensive wars that the Ming Dynasty has set up today.

The firepower of the magic is stronger than a hundred years ago and is more difficult to break.

In any case, the Dutch army still bit the bullet and launched an attack.

Three large arrays strode forward, two hundred steps, one hundred fifty steps, one hundred steps, and eighty steps.

At eighty steps, the Ming army opened fire. The smoke rose behind the half-meter-thick chest wall, and the gunshots were loud. The crowded Ming army fired neatly, causing a large area of ​​Dutch troops in the front row to fall down in an instant.

Amid the desolate drum sound of rhythm, the soldiers in the rear row made up the gap without fighting back, and still rushed towards the Ming army's front line. The soldiers on the front line of the Ming army handed over the fired muskets to the rear row, and took them and had already loaded them.

The second fire gun that finished was another round of dense volleys.

A scream sounded, and the Dutch military formation was obviously hit with a gap, with heavy casualties.

After another round of volleys of the Ming army, the Dutch army resisted the three rounds of volleys and advanced to less than fifty steps from the Ming army's front line. They stopped and raised a musket, and soon

The Ming army behind the chest wall was too crowded, and there was a large area of ​​it falling down, most of which were on the head and were shot on the upper body. The Dutch soldiers in the front row retreated and loaded, and the soldiers in the second row bravely rushed up.

,volley.

At less than fifty steps, the accuracy of the musket has been greatly improved.

The Ming army, protected by the chest wall, was actually stunned, and the originally dense volleys suddenly became chaotic.

Ma Cheng, who was supervising the battle in the distance, held a thousand-mile mirror with a big frown. The accuracy of the mesh gun is indeed very poor, and it depends on the distance. When shooting at such a close distance, the mesh gun can also be very accurate. The Dutchman is indeed

He was the founder of the Ming people. The revival of the Ming Dynasty had a long way to go. The Dutch army, which had the upper hand in shooting, became more and more aggressive. He stopped shooting and advanced steadily, and advanced twenty steps.

The distance between the two armies is less than thirty steps, and the chest wall is useless at this distance. The Ming army on the front line suffered major casualties. One has increased, and the casualties of the Dutch have become lighter. The Dutch are becoming more and more braver in the battle, and the front row is

The spearmen actually broke through the front line and were assassinating the Ming army musketeers who had no resistance. Then a fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out. The losses were heavy, and the two battalions in front were almost completely injured and injured.

Ma Cheng was frightened when he saw it. He was close to shooting. These Dutch troops were really elite enough.

Of course, the entire front line would not collapse, the front line was full of casualties, and the second-line troops rushed forward and quickly repelled the Dutch army with dense rain of bullets. The 15,000 Dutch army against the 20,000 Ming army was not three thousand at a time.

Charge can determine the outcome, but this battle made Ma Cheng alert. After all, the Dutch Army, which had experienced the War of Independence, had been intermittent and powerful Spanish Army, fought for eighty years, and should not be underestimated.
