"Ah ah ah..."
……
"How is this possible? The range of the Ming army's flintlock guns cannot be so far? Hurry up..."
Yamaguchi Chitoku was stunned in shock, and after realizing it, he immediately ordered the mercenaries to charge quickly, but he himself quietly slowed down and fell behind the team.
"Come on, as long as you rush over, you will win."
"Bang bang bang..."
A group of desperadoes rushed towards Qi's army regardless of the fallen companions around them, but they were greeted by dense mini bombs.
After the first row of Qi's army finished shooting, they immediately squatted down to reload the bullets, the second row immediately raised their guns and fired, and the third row quickly picked up after the second row fired.
Three rows of continuous fire, and the speed of rear reloading is very fast. The Mini bombs have never stopped, and the distance of 30 meters has become a restricted life zone for mercenaries.
As long as they were hit by the mini bombs, they would either die or be injured, and soon the bodies of Japanese ronin and black mercenaries were piled up in front of them.
More than 3000 mercenaries were killed by mortar bombs and nearly 1000 people were injured, and now more than 1000 people fell under the guns of Qi's army.
There are no injuries on their bodies, and they can continue to charge the mercenaries. There are less than 1000 people left. If they still rush forward regardless of everything, they are definitely not mercenaries, but death squads.
Not shooting to death does not mean sending them to death. At this moment, the mercenaries were so frightened that their hearts were broken, their legs trembled and they turned around and fled.
Yamaguchi Cade spent a lot of energy and money in building this mercenary team. No matter how much money the Netherlands gave, he would not let the team account for all of them here.
This is not a war, Nima is completely suicide. There is a saying in China that if you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. You should slip away first with oil on your feet. Batavia will definitely not be able to keep it.
Worried that the mercenaries under his command would run away and die, he hastily shouted:
"Brothers, retreat quickly, don't go back to the city, flee in another direction, leave Batavia by sea..."
Chapter 493 Rolling in all directions
The mercenaries who were fleeing in all directions quickly headed for Utrecht Gate after hearing the boss's call.
"Bang bang bang..."
No matter how fast they ran, it was impossible to run faster than the bullets. When they fled, they left hundreds of corpses behind.
Zhu Youjian said that no one would be left behind, and Qi Jiguang immediately prepared to order Huang Ming to lead a thousand-man team to pursue.
Zhu Youjian waved his hand to stop him:
"Don't chase them. The Daming Dragon Banner Special Forces are in the direction they are fleeing. It is absolutely impossible to escape. Let's take Batavia Castle first."
"According to the purpose"
Fan Diemen originally hoped that the mercenaries would severely injure the Ming army, but now he saw that Yamaguchi took the lead and fled.
At that time, Fan Dimen scolded Yamaguchi for being wicked and cowardly.Remember Biquge on the mobile phone in one second → m.BiqugeTv.Com provides you with wonderful novels to read.
"Hurry up, bombard the Ming army."
"Your Excellency, the artillery has been transferred to the coastal fort. There are only five artillery in the city, and they are distributed at the two city gates. Do you want to send them here immediately?"
A total of five cannons were mobilized. Only then did Van Diemen realize that there was not enough artillery in the city, but defending the city was easier than besieging it.
"No, we all hide at the crenel. If you find that the Ming army gathers, you will shoot and bombard it immediately. Once the Ming army attacks the city, you will shoot. Batavia Castle must be defended."
"Yes"
More than 1000 Dutch soldiers held flintlock guns, and all of them stared at the Ming army below the city with serious and nervous expressions.
The artillerymen of the three cannons were also nervously observing the movement of the Ming army at this time.
The [-] Qi family troops were divided into many small teams at this time, and they were just to prevent the city from firing.
How did Qi Jiguang and Zhu Youjian know that there were only three artillery pieces in the city.
Qi Jiguang looked at the Batavia Castle. The thick walls had to be bombarded with heavy artillery. When they went ashore, the emperor did not allow them to carry heavy artillery.
"Your Majesty, we don't carry heavy artillery. The mortar doesn't seem to have much effect on the thick Batavia city wall. In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, if we can suspend the siege, I will immediately ask someone to pull the heavy artillery."
"No, I have my own way!"
Zhu Youjian shook his head. Of course, his personal conquest has the advantage of his personal conquest.
With a wave of his hand, ten mighty generals and a pile of cannonballs appeared in front of Qi Jiguang and others almost at the same time.
They are all his summoners, so Zhu Youjian doesn't need to worry about anything.
"Immediately set up a cannon and knock down the walls of Batavia, are you sure?"
Qi Jiguang was not surprised by the comparison, their Qi family army was summoned by the emperor.
"My emperor is mighty."
"With my emperor here, what is the little Batavia Castle, come here, shoot me a cannon."
"Yes"
Fan Dimen and others in the city were staring at the sudden appearance of ten cannons in a daze.
Before they could react, General Shenwei's huge shell had already been lifted into the barrel by several people.
Qi Jiguang waved his hand:
"fire……"
"Rumble..."
Seven huge cannonballs came out of their chambers and slammed into the walls of Batavia Castle.
The bricks and stones of the city wall that were smashed immediately flew, and the whole city wall began to shake violently.
The Dutch soldiers hiding behind the crenel were dizzy from the shock, and some even fell directly into the moat below the city.
One of them missed the target and fell into the moat, but the other two landed on the gate tower.
"Boom..."
The entire city gate tower was smashed to pieces by huge shells, and dozens of Dutch soldiers were smashed to death inside.
If it weren't for the quick response of the guards, Van Diemen, the governor of the Netherlands in Batavia, might have turned into a meatloaf.
"Hurry up and protect the governor and retreat from the city wall..."
