When he saw his comrades howling desperately and trying to stuff his intestines back, the fear in his heart finally overwhelmed his reason! He threw away the sword of war and fled the battlefield with a strange cry! As a result, he became the first stone to trigger a large avalanche!

This is the case on the battlefield. As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain of fall! With the first person running away, there will be a second and third person immediately, which will eventually lead to the complete collapse of the entire front. This is how the Netherlands soldiers saw the others starting to escape, and the remaining people could not suppress the fear in their hearts. They fled from the battle group one after another, and the entire team completely collapsed!

The commander of the Netherlands also tried to use his courage to drive more people, constantly boosting morale! As a result, he was stabbed into his chest by two bayonets at the same time! The commander who fell to the ground could only look at the soldiers' escaped backs in despair and died!

The Netherlands soldiers were defeated, but the Marines were so excited that they chased after the escaped Netherlands soldiers! The Netherlands soldiers who ran slowly due to injuries were stabbed to the ground from behind, and only the lucky soldiers fled back to the castle.

The Marines kept chasing the Netherlands soldiers, running to the fire range of the castle, and were then shot back by a row of smoothbore guns. The calmed Marines began to quickly escape from the castle range and return to the battlefield. There were injured partners there to be treatment.

They carried away the bodies of the wounded and comrades, and stabbed all the wailing Dutch soldiers to death. They began to sort out the battlefield again. The materials on the battlefield cannot be spared. Although Liu Pei's supplies to everyone were sufficient, it was maintained by paying a lot of money.

Soldiers can get a certain amount of trophy when clearing the battlefield. Other seizures are good opportunities to replenish. Although many things cannot be used, they can at least be converted into raw materials and save a lot of money. Let’s talk about the Dutch smoothbore gun. Although the wives cannot use these things, the iron material on it can be completely dismantled and melted and re-melted into various things needed.

A tragic battle is over, and all the Dutch people watching the battle on the castle are as devastated as earth! This battle did not destroy the opponent's artillery

Not to mention the position, the soldiers and generals were lost, and the losses were heavy! There were more than 300 people when they set off, and only 12 and 30 people came back!

The Dutch people were still able to bear the death and injury. After all, there were still many adult men in the city who could act as soldiers. If it really didn't work, those half-aged children could also go to the battlefield. If they couldn't fight hand-to-hand combat, they would have no problem operating the smoothbore gun.

But this time, the morale was hit too hard! You know, they were in the encirclement and their morale had already begun to decline. If Major Clyde had not wisely destroyed the shooting boundary of his own buildings and forced Liu Pei's fleet to retreat with artillery, their morale would have been even lower at this time! And this failure would have been even more depressed!

Morale is a wonderful thing, you can't see it or touch it! But it really exists and affects the process of battle, even success or failure! Sometimes, the commander of a team can keep the troops in morale, and maybe turn defeat into victory!

Niels looked at the soldiers who fled into the castle in a panic from the city gate and said, "It seems that we can't repel each other head-on! The soldiers probably won't be willing to leave the city again! I really didn't expect that these people have very strong combat power!"

Major Clyde is not a civil servant like Nils, he is a real professional soldier. So he looked at the battle just now more carefully. He thought and said, "These Orientals are indeed smart! They don't know how to install a knife on the musket! In this way, the musket becomes a short spear! It is very convenient to switch from shooting to charging during combat, and at the same time reduce the burden on the soldiers! What a genius idea!"

Nils shook his head and said, "Major Clyde, don't think so much now. Take the time to arrange defense. Now we have to stick to it for a long time!"

Clyde nodded and left. He had too much to be busy with. What he wanted most now was to ask the soldiers who had escaped, what they had seen inside and how to install a knife on the other party's musket? How to deal with this musket with a knife?

Liu Pei's side was already filled with joy! The few logistics personnel came forward to welcome the Marine Corps who came back.

The staff! The medical soldiers rushed up to provide first aid to the wounded. The entire beach was very lively!

Liu Pei looked at the lively scene on the beach and said with a smile: "Okay, the other party dares not come out after this battle! Let's hurry up and take over the wounded and prepare for the next plan."

No war happened that afternoon, and even the artillery battle stopped. Both sides were licking their wounds. But what surprised the Netherlands was that many soldiers on the beach were still busy. They packed the sand in sacks and then transported it away in small boats. Some people were beating with the transported wood, as if they were making something. Niels and the others observed for a long time but couldn't get any clues, so they ordered the sentry to continue observing and left the busyness themselves.

When the next day it was bright and the morning mist on the sea dissipated. Two ships began to slowly sail towards the extended pier in the distance.

After the trestle was lengthened this time, there were no reefs around the stopping position. When the shells hit, they would only splash a splash on the sea and would not have any effect. But the Dutch gunners didn't care. They decided that they must shoot it correctly this time, preferably with the people and the ship! As long as they kept bombarding the dense crowds and ships, the artillery would not be able to get off the ship smoothly, that would be victory!

But something strange happened again!

The soldiers on the beach made several strange-looking large trolleys yesterday. Except for two wheels, the other car did not look like a trolley. Because his carriage was placed in parallel with three wooden boards with slopes. The outermost wooden boards and the other two wooden boards were filled with sandbags!

There were twelve cars like this. Each car had ten tall and strong soldiers to push them. The soldiers quickly dragged the cars, facing the castle with sandbags, ran along the trestle toward the seaside.
Chapter completed!
