The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 330 The Influence of the Heavenly Kingdom
However, at such a short distance, the Dutch muskets can only shoot one round!
After one round, the remaining heavy armored infantrymen of the Ming army rushed to the Dutch musketeers and slashed at them with a raised knife.

In just an instant, a large number of Dutchmen who survived the overwhelming artillery fire of the Ming army were killed!

Then the Musketeers and Grenadiers of the Ming Army also began to ascend the city!
Wei Wu personally led the team to climb first. He was wearing heavy armor and charged forward.

"Follow me, brothers!"

Follow me one sentence, let the morale of the Ming army boil!

They boarded the top of the city and rushed towards a fortification.

The Dutchman in the fortification got out, raised his gun and was ready to shoot. Wei Wu reacted very quickly, and threw out the shield in his hand with a hideous face.

With a snap, the shield hit the Dutchman in the face!
The heavy shield burst out with terrifying force, and the Dutchman's sky cap was almost thrown away.

"Shoot, hit me!"

The musketeers under Wei Wu's command seized the opportunity, no matter what the volley was or not, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger cracklingly.

Amidst the gunpowder smoke, several Dutchmen who poked their heads out were hit by lead bullets one after another.

Then, under the kinetic energy brought by the buckshot, the body flew upside down!
Immediately afterwards, two grenades were thrown into the fortification.

After the explosion sounded, Wei Wu took the lead and rushed into the fortification that was still billowing black smoke.

Facing the attack of the Ming army, the Dutch had no way to parry!
Especially when the two sides were fighting close to each other, the Ming army's heavy armored infantry were simply humanoid beasts.

Swing a knife, charge, slash, no one can stop you!
……

The Ming army's offensive went very smoothly. Even if the Dutch had a bastion as their backing, they would have no way to parry the Ming army's offensive.

In just the blink of an eye, the Ming army captured a section of the Dutch defense line!
The Ming army's offensive continued, and a large number of Ming troops entered the city, constantly expanding their own living space on the city wall.

The large-caliber siege mortars began to roar again!
A shell fell on the head of the city, and the impact point extended along the city wall to both sides, and the sound of explosions sounded continuously.

Shelling, grenades open the way, and heavy armor rushes in!

The Ming army's routine is very simple, but the Dutch just can't resist it!

Farther away, the Ming army's siege artillery group has also been prepared!

boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!

The artillery extended its range of fire and carried out covering strikes against the city.

In just half a day, the Ming army captured a section of the city wall several hundred meters away, and even took down the protrusions of several adjacent bastions.

A section of the city wall recessed between the protrusions has been completely captured by the Ming army.

When the Ming army ascended the city again, they would not have to worry about the threat of crossfire from the bastions.

However, as the Dutch gradually increased their troops from the rear, the battle situation also stalemate.

The Ming army's vigor for an attack was almost exhausted, and it needed a little repair before it could continue to attack.

Looking at the battlefield full of gunfire, Zhu Hongyu turned around and said to Lei Meng.

"The orphan will order the army to repair for an hour, and then continue to attack!"

"Commander Raymond can return to the city!"

"Please give Gu an answer within an hour, otherwise, no one will know whether this city of Batavia can withstand the second attack of my army!"

When Lei Meng heard this, he was sweating profusely and hurriedly agreed.

The expression on his face was full of horror!

The fighting power of the Ming army is too strong!
This kind of combat power is really terrifying.

Facing such a Ming army, can Batavia continue to defend? !

……

Raymond returned to the city of Batavia, and met Governor Robbe again in the city hall.

As soon as the two met, the governor of Luobei asked.

"My dear Raymond, what is going on here? Isn't it a peace talk? Why did the Ming army attack the city at this time?"

Once the Ming army attacked, they lost a section of the city wall hundreds of meters away!
too fast!
The Ming army attacked so fast that they had no way to parry the attack!

I can't tolerate Luo Bei not feeling scared from the bottom of my heart!
Raymond said with an ugly face.

"The negotiations failed to reach an agreement, and the Jian Guo of the Ming Dynasty said that they would fight until they could reach an agreement!"

"And then they attacked themselves!"

While speaking, Lei Meng told Zhu Hongyu's conditions.

After Luo Bei heard the words, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Promise, promise them all!"

"The city of Batavia can't withstand the attack of the Ming army. The most important bargaining chip in our hands is worthless now!"

Originally, Luobei was planning to negotiate conditions with the Ming army by virtue of Batavia's solid city defense.

Unexpectedly, under the attack of the Ming army, Batavia's city defense was so vulnerable!
In this way, Luo Bei lost the most important bargaining chip in his hand!
In the following negotiations, naturally, they can only let Daming at the mercy of them!
……

Zhu Hongyu stood on the high platform, looking towards the direction of the battlefield.

In general, the Ming army did a good job in attacking the city, suppressing artillery, assaulting infantry, shelling Xu Jin barrage, and concentrated infantry breakthrough...

There is already a prototype of infantry coordination!
Whether it's a gunner or an infantryman, Zhu Hongyu is very satisfied with the military quality shown in the battle!
In fact, to be honest, it would be best if the Dutch in Batavia surrendered, but it doesn't matter if they don't surrender.

Although the bastion is difficult to hit, as long as Zhu Hongyu is determined, he can chew it down!
After all, the bastion fortifications in this era are basically open-air fortifications.

The protective effect of open-air fortifications on explosive bombs is basically equivalent to no.

The reason why he wanted to negotiate with the Dutch was not because he couldn't beat Batavia.

In fact, it is for the trade route to India!
The Dutch have been operating in India for a long time, and if Ming wants to lead the trade route to India, he must get the assistance of the Dutch.

Opening up trade routes is not only a military issue, but also factors such as the ports, commercial stations, and most important contacts in the local area.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to eat all the Dutch colonies in Nanyang was because of the traditional influence of the Celestial Kingdom for thousands of years on Nanyang.

Eighty to ninety percent of the whole of Nanyang is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, little brother!

It belongs to the typical East Asian Confucian cultural circle!

The high-level officials in these Nanyang countries are basically able to speak Chinese, and they are all fans of Confucian culture.

It was much easier for Ming Dynasty to spread trade routes in Nanyang than for Western colonists, or it could be said that there was no difficulty at all.

But once you pass Malacca and leave the East Asian Confucian cultural circle, the golden signboard of Daming will not be so useful.

This is why Zhu Hongyu wants to negotiate with the Dutch!

Trade routes cannot be conquered by warships and artillery alone!
It's more a matter of background!
Before making Zhu Hongyu wait long, Lei Meng appeared in front of him again.

Raymond spoke.

"Your Excellency, Governor Luobei has agreed to your request!"

"Please order the troops to withdraw to Batavia!"

While speaking, he presented a draft contract to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu took the contract, glanced at it, and then said with a half-smile.

"Didn't you surrender?"

"Why do you want my Ming army to withdraw from Batavia?!"

"It should be you Dutch people throwing away your weapons, raising your hands, and handing over the city defense with the Da Ming soldiers, right?"

Raymond had an ugly expression on his face, but he still spoke.

"Your Majesty's words are true!"

"I'll go back and convey your meaning to Governor Luobei!"
