The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 329 The siege begins! (seeking subscription)

Wang Ruxian walked up to these people and spoke politely.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo invites a few of you to watch the battle from the high platform!"

After all, I added another sentence.

"Master Wang is about to attack the city!"

Lei Meng looked at the leaders of the Chinese rebel army who walked up to the high platform, and felt very angry.

It was these people who stabbed them in the back during the fierce battle between the Netherlands and Ming Dynasty, which involved a lot of energy in the Governor's Palace.

Otherwise, the Ming army might not be able to win so quickly!

Raymond is full of disgust and disgust for the leaders of these Chinese rebels!
But now, in the camp of the Ming army, Lei Meng couldn't do anything.

Seeing the arrival of the leaders of the rebel army, Zhu Hongyu also opened his mouth to give orders.

"Give a seat!"

After everyone sat down, Zhu Hongyu looked at Lei Meng, and then spoke.

"The two armies are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, give Commander Raymond a seat!"

Raymond quickly thanked him, but his face was not pretty.

Zhu Hongyu made it clear that he wanted him to watch the Ming army attack the city of Batavia, and use this to force the Dutch to make concessions in the negotiations.

This kind of strength is really uncomfortable!
Zhu Hongyu no longer paid attention to Lei Meng, but spoke to Liu Chuan and others.

"If Ming Dynasty wants to govern and develop Batavia, it cannot be done without the sages of the countryside!"

"Although Batavia is located in a wild place, it is the maritime trade center, shipbuilding center, and handicraft center of the entire Southeast Asia. Its importance is self-evident."

"If you get it, you can control the whole Nanyang!"

"To turn Nanyang into a land of Han and Batavia into a royal paradise under my Ming rule, we still need everyone to work together!"

Everyone hurriedly got up from their seats and spoke.

"I understand!"

"The imperial court has orders, as the people of Ming Dynasty, we will never refuse as long as we can!"

Zhu Hongyu clapped his hands and said.

"You don't need to be too polite, let's watch the king's division attack the city!"

While speaking, an orderly trotted to deliver the order.

As soon as the Ming army ordered the flag to change, the drums and trumpets sounded together.

A series of large-caliber curved mortars were transported to the zig-zag trenches, and then transported to the predetermined artillery positions by relay.

Mounds and sandbags were piled up in front of the artillery positions for artillery fortifications!

A Ming army musketeer in iron armor, grenadiers, and even heavy armored infantry began to enter the trench one after another.

The clouds of war are very thick!

The Dutch finally realized that the Ming army was about to launch an attack!

The Dutch in the bastion temporarily gave up their fantasy of negotiation, and also threw themselves into intense preparations.

boom!Boom!

The Dutch batteries on the bastion opened fire.

Amidst the sound of rumbling shelling, shells fell towards the direction of the zigzag trench.

Entrained in kinetic energy, the shell fell to the ground, was blocked by the sandbags in front of the trench, and bounced away towards the distance.

It failed to hurt the soldiers of the Ming army in the trench!
The firepower points set up by the Dutch on the protruding part of the bastion can form a crossfire attack on the city.

Amidst the rumble of shelling, shells flew through the air one after another.

Then fall towards the ground!

Countless shells rolled on the ground, but they were either blocked by the mound and flew out, or hit the sandbags, and their power was removed.

Twirling around in the clearing!

The solid shells of this era are not ideal for killing zigzag trenches!
It can even be said to be almost none!

The Dutch musketeers also started shooting, and the crackling gunfire caused some sporadic casualties to the Ming army in the trench.

The rifle shooters of the Ming army are also constantly fighting back!

Snapped!clap clap!

Although the gunshots were very sparse, with every gunshot, someone must fall to the ground, which gave great fear to the Dutch defending the city.

Glyde poked his head out and pulled the trigger.

With a snap, a large amount of gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle.

However, it is a pity that he failed to shoot the Ming army outside the city. The lead bullet hit the sandbag, and a cloud of sand burst out.

Just the next moment, with a snap, he saw a Dutch soldier not far away from him being pierced through the chest by lead bullets.

There was a big hole in the chest, and blood flowed horizontally!

There was even warm blood flowing down to Glyde's feet. Looking at this scene, Glyde felt his legs tremble violently.

He was just a sailor, so it would be no problem for him to steer the ship, but Glyde said that he really couldn't do it if he wanted him to raise his musket and shoot at the professional soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

He doesn't have the psychological quality of a professional soldier!
He was already very loyal to the company by not dropping his weapon and surrendering on the spot.

Snapped!clap clap!

Gunshots rang out one after another, and lead flew across the battlefield.

Soldiers on both sides kept falling to the ground!

At this time, the curved mortars that the Ming army siege and transfer were ready to fire.

The gunners skillfully adjusted the shooting elements, loaded the shells, and ignited them all in one go!
boom!Boom!

Amidst the deep and powerful roar, large-caliber flower bombs fell towards the top of the city one after another.

The flower bomb landed on the top of the city, and the fuse was burned out!
With a bang, the gunpowder in the bomb was ignited, and the air expanded rapidly, tearing the cast iron shell.

The fire spread, the shock wave scattered, and dense fragments swept across the surroundings.

Instantly emptied the Dutch soldiers within a certain distance!
Some shells even exploded in mid-air, forming terrible air-burst bombs.

Countless fragments spread radioactively in all directions, and the Dutch people howled with ghosts and wolves wherever they passed.

Glyde saw a shell fall at his feet, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

But the pool of blood on the ground was so slippery that he slipped and fell to the ground!
In the next instant, Glyde was filled with despair, feeling like he was going to die.

The fragments formed by the explosion of the flower bomb will probably turn itself into a lump of rotten meat, right?

However, just as he closed his eyes and waited to die, the flower bomb did not explode for a long time.

He summoned up his courage, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the point where the flower bomb fell.

I saw that the flower bomb did not explode at all, but the body of the bomb was deformed and a piece was dented.

The matchlock fuze is detached from the inside of the missile body, so it will definitely not blow up!
Glyde breathed a sigh of relief, but his legs and feet were still very weak.

boom!Boom!

Explosions sounded one after another, and the shock wave formed by the explosion of the shells suddenly threw this sticky thing on his face.

Glyde wiped his face subconsciously, looked at the half of his intestines in his hand, and let out a hysterical scream.

Large-caliber siege mortars suppressed the firepower at the top of the city, and the heavy armored sword shield soldiers and grenadiers of the Ming army carried long ladders and launched an attack towards the bastion!
The shape of the bastion is different from that of traditional Chinese cities, being relatively low.

Therefore, the long ladder climbing the bastion can also be carried in the zigzag trench without worrying about getting stuck.

As the Ming army's long ladder was put on the bastion, the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers began to climb with their shields on their shoulders.

The grenadier lit a grenade under the city and threw it towards the top of the city.

In the next moment, the suppression of the firepower of the large-caliber siege mortar came to an abrupt end.

Immediately afterwards, there was the roar of the grenade explosion!
Under the cover of hand grenades, the Ming army's heavy armor sword and shield soldiers climbed up the city slowly along the long ladder.

Then hold up the shield and start to seize the position!
The Dutch Musketeers came out from behind the fortifications and raised their guns to shoot.

Under the face, the heavy armor on the heavy armored soldiers could not hold the muskets, and the recovery army who ascended the city suffered casualties in the blink of an eye.
