The power and shock waves produced by the explosion enveloped the Dutch soldiers who followed behind.
In an instant, there were scattered limbs and broken arms everywhere, as well as the wailing of the aborigines and the Dutch, and the city was soon stained red with minced meat and blood.
After the Ming army threw the grenade, they immediately shrank their heads down the city wall. The explosion did not hurt them at all. When the explosion ended, Liu Chao waved his hand, and the Ming army soldiers immediately turned to the top of the city wall.
The scene in front of them made these Ming army soldiers who have experienced many battles unable to bear to look directly at it. All of them are stumps, broken arms and internal organs of the enemy. The city has turned into a sea of blood.
"God, this is too tragic, how can the power of the grenade be so great..."
Liu Chao scratched his head, feeling too incredible.
"General, there are still living people there, they surrendered."
The scene in front of him made Liu Chao feel a little dazed for a while, but after being reminded by Jun Bing, he came back to his senses and looked in the direction of his subordinate's fingers.
I saw a white flag gradually rising under the city ahead.
Liu Chao waved his hand:
"Brothers, be careful and lean over."
"Yes"
The people of the Netherlands all use firearms, and it is not clear what is going on. Liu Chao has to be careful. Victory is just around the corner. He doesn't want to be tricked by the Netherlands.
Longqi soldiers held rifles and leaned forward cautiously. They saw that there were more than 100 people under the city. They all threw away their flintlock guns and raised their hands high.
Beside them, there were still many mutilated corpses of Dutch and indigenous people lying in a mess, which made people feel sick.
Seeing the Ming army approaching, a Dutch translator hurriedly shouted:
"The Governor of Malacca is here, please don't shoot, we surrender."
Liu Chao was overjoyed when he heard that:
"Oh, the Governor of Malacca has surrendered directly. Well, the Great Tomorrow has the virtue of being good at life. We accept the unconditional surrender of you foreign devils."
When the translator translated Liu Chao's words to Bo Tuo, the governor of Malacca, Bo Tuo almost died of anger, secretly slandering Liu Chao in his heart.
"Nimma, there is still a good life in heaven. Look at the good deeds you have done, and look at the Dutch soldiers who died tragically on the ground.|
However, in order to survive, Botuo could only think in his heart and dared not say a word, for fear that the general would blow his head if he was upset.
Botuo's legs are still trembling now, but he is really curious about the ball that exploded just now, if he doesn't figure it out, even if he dies, he won't rest in peace.
Walking tremblingly in front of Chao Liu, the majestic Governor of Malacca, Bo Tuo, bowed deeply to Chao Liu:
"I am the governor of Malacca, and now I have formally surrendered to Daming. May I ask the general, what exploded just now?"
Chapter 541
Bo Tuo babbled in Dutch for a while, Liu Chao was stunned by Bo Tuo's question, and turned around to ask Mingjun's translator:
"What bird language does this foreigner speak, let him speak my Ming Dynasty official dialect."
The translator of the Ming army smiled slightly, clasped his fists in a hurry and said:
"He is Botto, the governor of the Netherlands stationed in Malacca. How can he speak the official language of Daming? They decided to formally surrender to Daming. They hope to know what weapons Daming soldiers used to attack them just now."
Liu Chao nodded slightly, and said to the translator solemnly:
"Tell them that the weapon used by the Ming soldiers just now is the latest firearm. The name is bastard. As the name suggests, it is a bomb specially used to deal with bastards."
The translator was taken aback:
"General, this..."
Liu Chao stared:
"True translation."
"Yes"
Although Liu Chao is just a thousand households of the Dragon Banner Army, that is also a regular fifth-rank official position.
The five ranks of the Dragon Banner Army are different, they truly belong to the emperor's pro-army, and their military salaries are paid by the emperor's internal funds. During the non-war period, Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, has no power to control them.
The translator walked up to Botuo, and not only told Botuo exactly what Liu Chao had said, but also added a few sentences:
"The Dutch slaughtered our Ming people in Batavia. In order to protect the overseas people, the emperor of China decided to take all the colonies of the Netherlands in Asia. This is revenge for the Netherlands.
When His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty attacked Batavia, he did not accept Batavia's surrender and beheaded them all for public display.
As the governor of the Netherlands in Malacca, Daming accepts your surrender. You should feel honored that you did not massacre my people, otherwise you will end up dead.
Although you did not massacre the overseas citizens of Daming, you also severely exploited our overseas citizens of Daming.
As for how to deal with you, it depends on the mood of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, please pray for good luck!
Oh, by the way, our general just said that the weapon that killed most of your soldiers was a firearm newly developed by Daming. "
The news that the soldiers and officials of the Netherlands in Batavia were all killed by Ming Dynasty, Botto had already received the news.
He thought that after Ming took Batavia in retaliation, he would end his revenge against the Netherlands.
Unexpectedly, Ming would not only take down Batavia, but also take down all the colonies of the Netherlands in Asia.
Daming is so ruthless, the Netherlands will no longer have colonies in Asia, and there will no longer be commodity bases such as spices.
You must know that Batavia and other colonies are the commodity trading center of the Netherlands in Asia. Losing Batavia and other colonies will definitely hurt the vitality of the Netherlands.
The Netherlands is known as the coachman of the sea, and will never admit defeat easily.
Botuo believes that sooner or later, the warships of the Netherlands will let Daming know what a sea coachman is.
Although Botuo surrendered, he still believed that the Netherlands could defeat Ming Dynasty.
It's just that their current forces are too scattered. Once the Netherlands gathers troops from all over the country, they will definitely be able to easily defeat the Ming Navy.
At that time, the unified dynasty with gold everywhere in the north was about to become the largest colony of the Netherlands.
After secretly cursing for a while, Botuo thought of that powerful bastard.
This thing is incredible, it is obviously a weapon for individual combat, but it actually emits more powerful power than artillery.
Botuo knew about the explosive bullets, but he had heard about the bastard bombs this time and it was far from being comparable to the explosive bullets.
This bastard is so powerful, it would be great if the Netherlands could get the bastard.
