1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 155 Levying Aceh ([-])
The two 12-pound heavy guns on the ship were quickly hoisted from the pier, and many Javanese soldiers were driven by the mercenaries of the East India Company, struggling to slowly drag the artillery to the city of Rapid Water Bay.

Nearly [-] musketeers from the Han and Dutch allied forces stood near the artillery with muskets, and all the spearmen and short soldiers began to get ready to quickly capture the broken city wall after breaking through the city.

More than 200 Javanese soldiers looked enviously at the Hanzhou spearmen and short soldiers, and began to tie two thin steel plates to their shoulders to protect their chest and back.And the more than 50 indigenous spearmen wore a pair of leather armor made of kangaroo leather to comfort them.

"Everyone remembers that after entering the city, you are not allowed to run around. Each platoon gathers a team, and muskets and short soldiers and spears cooperate with each other according to training. Without orders, you are not allowed to rush in. ... Remember that at any time, you must Save your own life first!" Niu Hu was in the Marine Corps, checking the soldiers' equipment while talking.

Only a few parts of Jishuiwan City near the city gate are made of stone structures, and the other sections of the city wall are made of thin rammed earth or even wooden rafts.

The 12-pound heavy artillery is estimated to be able to knock down the city wall in a short time.

"Tell him that the city wall has collapsed, so don't attack yet." Niu Hu came to the Dutch Army Commander Major Frost Fritz and said to the interpreter.

"Why? Shouldn't we take advantage of the panic of the enemy and rush into the city quickly?" Major Frost Fritz no longer underestimated this young Hanzhou officer.In the battle before dawn, the Hanzhou soldiers performed excellently, and their commanders should be respected.

"The enemy will rush to the collapsed city wall to stop us!" Niu Hu said, "Why don't we replace the artillery with shotguns when the city wall collapses!"

After hearing this, Major Frost Fritz was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "You are such an excellent battlefield commander!" Then he turned around and told his adjutant to go to the artillery to make arrangements.

The Aceh soldiers at the head of the city looked at the Chinese and Dutch coalition forces waiting in full battle. Because of the surprise attack before dawn, they caused huge casualties. At this time, they could only watch the opponent calmly arrange artillery positions and attack preparations.

The two 12-pound guns were deployed by noon.Just when the Aceh soldiers and civilians in the city thought that the Dutch would launch an attack after lunch, a shell shot "boom" above the city wall of Jishuiwan and hit a certain building in the city.

Afterwards, the artillery continuously adjusted the shooting angle, and slowly concentrated on a weak place of rammed earth for bombardment.

Every bombardment of the 12-pound artillery will make the city wall shake slightly, as if shaking the hearts of all Aceh soldiers and civilians.As each shell hit the city wall, the corners of their eyes would involuntarily twitch a few times, and they prayed "True God bless" softly in their mouths.

However, their true god today is destined to abandon them.After only eight rounds of heavy artillery bombardment, the hastily built city wall was blown down with a huge gap.As the muzzle was lowered, the notch was damaged more severely.

"Boom! Boom!" Under the continuous bombardment of the artillery, a section of the city wall with a width of more than ten meters finally collapsed, and the Chinese and Dutch coalition forces burst into enthusiastic cheers.

In a short time, hundreds of Aceh soldiers rushed to the place where the city wall collapsed, ready to intercept the invaders who were about to rush in.

But where the city wall collapsed, there was a strange tranquility.The expected enemy charge did not happen. Through the smoke and dust, the Aceh soldiers saw that the enemy was still standing in the attack position and did not launch an assault forward.

Just when many Aceh soldiers were puzzled, the artillery rang again, and the two heavy artillery fired countless iron nails and fine sand in a huge fan shape, hitting the collapsed part of the city wall.

The densely packed Aceh soldiers fell down in an instant, and the soldiers behind them didn't know what happened, they screamed, turned around and ran into the city.

The steel knife in Major Frost Fritz's hand pointed forward, and all the soldiers immediately launched an assault.

A group of Javanese native soldiers rushed in from the collapsed part of the city wall holding spears, followed by Dutch army musketeers, Hanzhou marines, and indigenous servants, swarming into Rapid Water Bay City.

The coalition forces allocated a part of their personnel to clear and occupy the city walls and gates, and the rest were divided into several groups. According to the division of labor before the war, they rushed towards several important targets in the city, such as the government offices, barracks, city lord's mansion, and official warehouses.

As the battle in the city deepened, the whole city fell into a huge chaos. There were musket shots, shouts of killing, screams, screams, and Aceh soldiers and civilians scattered and fled everywhere.Several fires broke out in some buildings in the city. The coalition soldiers were unable to capture the buildings held by Aceh soldiers, and simply set fire to force the enemy out.

"I don't know how the casualties of the marines are in the city?" Qi Dajiang came to the "Pioneer" and stood on the bow of the ship with Cao Xiong, watching the fireworks rising from time to time in the city.

"Huzi is a calm person, he should be able to control the casualties of soldiers." Cao Xiong said.Perhaps because of the small population, Hanzhou is very careful about all battles that can cause casualties, and is very worried about the loss of personnel.

"Uncle, that Second Lieutenant Florent brought me a message just now, and the Dutch promised to give us [-]% of the capture after the war."

"Twenty percent?" Cao Xiong originally thought that at least thirty percent could be captured, but now, he only gets twenty percent.No wonder Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent didn't dare to come and tell him, but found Qi Dajiang to tell him about it.

"Including the few merchant ships we captured at the pier?" Cao Xiong took a deep breath. His strength is inferior to others, so he must have the mentality of being a younger brother.Damn it, when our Hanzhou is strong, we will steal you from the Dutch!

"He didn't say." Qi Dajiang shook his head.

"Twenty percent, I accept it. But for these ships and the goods on them, we must earn them!"

Qi Dajiang nodded, Hanzhou lacked transport ships and women, and the ships and "goods" captured at the dock must be snatched.

"Send a few people to the city, find Niu Hu, and tell him to let the brothers go and grab it. Isn't everyone carrying a bag behind their backs, it's full!"

After hearing the message from Qi Dalu, Niu Hu was only stunned for a moment, and then ordered all the marines to take out all the daily necessities in their backpacks, and started the organized looting.

In fact, not long after the coalition forces entered the city, the mercenaries of the Dutch East India Company had already started looting.Break open one after another of the exquisite houses, order the owner of the house to take out a lot of property, or directly rush into the house to search around.

And the simple soldiers of the Hanzhou Marine Corps are still controlling some government treasury offices according to the orders of their respective chiefs.When Niu Hu's latest order reached the soldiers' ears, they were stunned for a long time, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Although they know that most of the loot needs to be handed over, there are still some inconspicuous properties that can fall into their own pockets, isn't it?
In the evening, more than [-] armed sailors gathered together from more than a dozen warships entered the city to strengthen the order and control inside.Because the night is coming gradually.

The officials and soldiers of Jishuiwan City were all detained in a granary, waiting in fear for the dawn of the next day.

Niu Hu withdrew all the marines to the city gate, and at the same time quietly sent people to transport the looted gains during the day to the ship.

Tomorrow morning, Lieutenant Colonel Jemini Bacona, the commander of the coalition forces, will lead people into the city, start to count the seized in the city, and organize people to carry them onto the ship one after another.

"You mean, that brave North Korean wants to take possession of the captured ships and cargo at the docks?" Lieutenant Colonel Jemini Bacona asked.

"Yes, sir! His request is very firm, and he believes that these seizures are what they deserve after the heroic battle!" Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent said.

"What precious goods are there on board?" Lieutenant Colonel Jemini Bacona was very curious. If the goods were more precious, then these seizures must be included in his [-]% share.

"Women! All Persian slave girls, oh, and some Persian rugs and hangings."

"A merchant ship from Persia?"

"I think, yes!"

"They really are a bunch of pirates! They care so much about a few ships of Persian female slaves." Lieutenant Colonel Jemini Bacona couldn't help laughing. There should be a lot of precious metals in the city, as well as specialties such as rhino horn, ivory, and tin mines.Cao Xiong and the others insisted on begging for women, which made him feel very ridiculous.

"Sir, you may not know. On the big island of Hanzhou where they are located, there are very few women."

"Hehe... If you want a woman, give it to them....Give them the boat too!" Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Bacona said generously.For those small Persian ships of less than one hundred tons, he hadn't taken a fancy to them yet.

"...Sir, they also asked if they could kidnap some Aceh women in the city tomorrow?" Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent said with some embarrassment.

"..." Lieutenant Colonel Jemini Bacona was stunned, "How short are they of women!"

"Brothers, how many of us Hanzhou men can marry a wife depends on how many native women you can catch tomorrow!" Li Fade said to a circle of Marine soldiers sitting on the ground: "However, we can't When I saw a native woman, I caught it. Damn, at least you have to look good, right? If you catch an ugly one, well, if you are not careful, you will share it with yourself. You say, thank you!"

The soldiers of the Marine Corps let out a burst of laughter.When I used to plan food in the soil of Hanzhou, I thought that as long as I was a woman, I would pass on the family.

But yesterday evening, soldiers from the Marine Corps went to capture the Persian female slave ships at the pier, and saw many charming foreign women.Chatting with the brothers again, the aesthetic taste has suddenly improved a lot.

In such a native port city, there are at least three or four thousand women, young and beautiful, there are probably thousands of them.Nothing to say, tomorrow day, pick and choose.Don't wait until later, it's shameful to give it to your daughter-in-law!
