The projectiles flew with a scream, and the sound of hitting armor was heard, followed by the screams of Dutch soldiers.
Many soldiers struggled to the ground clutching their wounds.
The excellent iron armor of the Dutch did not protect the armor of the firecracker projectiles fired by the opponents at nearly a hundred paces, which took away the lives of dozens of Dutchmen.
This was because the Dutch had deployed a large number of iron shields in front of them for protection.
Otherwise, the number of casualties would have increased several times.
The Dutch had no time to be surprised, so they had no choice but to continue to speed up.
Running quickly in armor in the hot southern summer was a chore, and they walked quickly for more than a mile under threat from the enemy's constant blast of artillery and muskets.
It is really miserable to have to speed up the pace.
Fortunately, you only need to move forward for more than ten steps to reach the position where you can fight back the enemy.
Nearly seventy steps away, all the Dutch soldiers stopped under the order, and even the messy sailor formation also stopped at the same time.
They began to load the muskets with gunpowder and projectiles, and then, just like the Thirty Years War that was still going on in Europe, the musketeers on both sides began to shoot each other, just like the volleys that often appeared in later movies and TV dramas.
At this moment, boom boom boom, ten Ming people's marching cannons suddenly roared, and large masses of iron came with strange whistling whistles.
At this time, the Dutch who had just loaded their muskets were shocked, what was going on.
Puff, puff, the sound of iron hitting the iron shield kept ringing.
The huge destructive force produced by the thumb-thick iron hit all the iron shields in the front row of the Dutchmen, revealing the shocked Ni.
The Delanders.
Howls came one after another, and the armor of many Dutchmen was shattered and deformed by the blows.
The intruding iron pieces shredded all their internal organs.
The soldiers of the Japanese army were startled.
These red-haired soldiers had such loud voices.
An irregular layer was cut off from the front of the entire Dutch army formation.
People on this layer either fell to the ground silently, or were rolling and struggling on the ground.
These bloody scenes almost made the sailors' formation run away.
Collapse, if it weren't for some soldiers being monitored by Fandel among them, then these sailors would have fled in all directions.
In this era, ocean-going sailors have multiple professions, including sailors, mercenaries, pirates, and regular soldiers, depending on what the environment requires them to be.
If they are sailors during normal navigation and see a lone merchant ship on the vast sea, they immediately turn into pirates and are hired by noble lords.
They are mercenaries.
When the country needs it, they can become regular troops recognized by the king and serve the country. campaign.
The best player in this regard is England.
Many of their pirates immediately became soldiers under the king's banner during the war and fought against the Spanish and the French.
Therefore, the life of sailors is relatively free and happy, and they are of course unwilling to let them fight to the death like stupid infantry knights.
But in the face of the knife-and-gun confrontation with Vandel's cronies, they managed to maintain their strength without collapsing.
After all, in this place where the mountains are high and the king is far away, Vandelburg and Vandel are god-like existences.
The entire Dutch army ended the chaos and began the first round of counterattack.
Their muskets fired almost at the same time as Akito's second attack.
Of course, Akito's counterattack was ahead of the curve.
After all, the Dutch were shot by shotguns.
The bombardment was delayed for a while.
Bang bang bang, large plumes of thick smoke rose in front of the formations of both sides, and the projectiles whizzed past each other.
This time, the Dutch suffered a big loss again.
The iron shield protecting the front was basically destroyed by Akito's shotguns.
Without protection, the armor of the Dutchmen could not stop the impact of the projectiles at a mere sixty steps, and a large platoon of people fell to the ground howling.
Due to the artillery strike just now, all the musketeers in their front row were wiped out.
Even if the musketeers in the back were replenished, they could not form a salvo effect, and the counterattack was somewhat sparse.
Akito's front was entirely protected by iron shields and wooden shields, and most of the projectiles were blocked by them.

Only some unlucky soldiers were hit by projectiles that penetrated through the gaps and screamed and fell to the ground.
The scene was extremely bloody.
Fandel used his willpower honed over many years to try his best to eliminate the thought of possible defeat in his mind, and ordered the troops to continue moving forward.
It was absolutely impossible to retreat now, otherwise the formation would collapse.
It was better to go forward and fight, maybe they could ignore it.
To live after death.
The Dutch soldiers continued to charge forward, and at thirty paces the two sides once again bombarded each other with muskets.
Of course, the Dutch, who had no iron shield protection, suffered a great loss.
Fortunately, they finally collided with the Polu army's infantry formation after suffering more than a third of their casualties.
The sound of clashing weapons and the shouts of soldiers on both sides filled the wilderness.
The soldiers of the Polu Army quickly felt the difference between these tall Dutchmen.
They were tall, had long arms, and had extraordinary strength.
Many of them wielded spears made of all iron.
The spears hit the iron shields and spears of the Polu soldiers, making it very difficult for the Polu soldiers to block.
Although their spears were not as long as those of the Polu army soldiers, their height, arm length and strength made up for this, and they were on par with the North Korean soldiers opposite them.
A large number of soldiers in the front row of both sides were stabbed and fell to the ground struggling.
The scene was extremely bloody for a while.
Even the most sophisticated iron armor would be defeated in the face of the spear points and spear points with extremely strong armor-breaking capabilities.
After the tip of the spear broke through the armor, it brought out a large amount of blood and even fragments of internal organs.
In just a few dozen seconds, more than 200 people fell to the ground in various postures and struggled for their lives.
Others were still desperately trying to make up for it and fight the enemy.
Fandel frantically encouraged the soldiers to attack the Ming people's formation, but the Ming people's soldiers on the opposite side were also brave.
They would rather die than retreat, and went all out to attack the Dutch.
I don’t know what Fandel would think if he knew that the person facing him was not Akito but a North Korean soldier.
As for the reason why the North Korean soldiers worked so hard, two hundred silver dollars per person and fifty acres of pension land solved their worries.
This was a reward and pension.
If they escape, their families will be expelled from Jeju Island, their fields will be confiscated, and they will turn from a wealthy family into a refugee with nothing.
For these North Korean soldiers who have finally lived a good life, It was an ending even more miserable than death.
In order to avoid an even sadder fate, it was easier to accept the happy death of Tong Hongmao.
At this time, the battle situation suddenly changed drastically.
The Polu soldiers on the right faced a scattered formation of sailors.
When the two sides engaged, there was no protection at all.
Half of the sailors were holding short weapons.
The Dutch sailors They suffered a heavy loss immediately, and the spearmen of the Polu Army quickly harvested the lives of the Dutch.
The length of the spear and the simplicity of the thrust left the sailors helpless.
They often had to pay more than ten casualties to kill one soldier of the Polu Army.
This was similar to being beaten without being able to fight back.
It was to release an iron army.
Even in such a position, he must collapse.
Of course, there is still a big difference in the time of collapse.
The sailors' originally weak fighting spirit quickly collapsed under the fierce and unstoppable attacks of their opponents.
They really did not have the supervising team of Jiannu and the Ming army, so the remaining The more than 300 sailors who could still run immediately turned around and ran away in large strides.
They are tall and have long legs, and some of them are not wearing armor.
The soldiers of the Polu Army who are fully armored are really unable to pursue them for a while, but it doesn't matter, there are still dozens of Ye Bushe, and these Ye Bushe are the only ones of the Polu Army.
It is extremely unrealistic for the cavalry to transport a large number of cavalry troops long distances by sea, but at this moment, it is enough for them to pursue the fleeing enemy.

The sailors' escape before the battle trapped the Dutch soldiers who were still fighting hard.
Their flanks were completely exposed to the front of the Poru soldiers.
You must know that more than half of their soldiers have been killed and wounded while fleeing on the road and fighting with the North Korean soldiers.
Now only less than 700 soldiers can still go into battle.
At this time, the flanks collapsed, exposing their soft flanks.
The Polu soldiers rushed in immediately and broke into the Dutch soldiers' formation from the flanks.
At this time, the unprepared Dutch soldiers were assassinated by the fierce and fearless Polu soldiers, and the entire military formation began to collapse.
Some Dutch soldiers were still resisting, but most of them began to run back, and the Dutch army collapsed like an avalanche.
Fandel watched helplessly as the soldiers fled with a cross sword in his hand.
He did not try to stop them anymore.
He knew that everything was useless.
The opponent's combat power was far superior to them, and their defeat was not unfair at all.
At this time, many soldiers of the Polu Army broke through the Dutch battle line and rushed back.
In fact, there was no need to fight behind them.
The other Dutch were on the way to escape.
A dozen Polu saber and shield bearers surrounded Fandel and five or six of his attendants.
His attendants raised their swords and faced off against the Polu army soldiers.
The saber and shield bearers just surrounded them.
According to the regulations, they were to chase the fleeing enemies.
If the enemies resisted in an organized way, they had to wait for the spearmen and gunmen to defeat their resistance.
Fandel watched as a large group of spearmen and some musketeers rushed over.
He threw the cross sword in his hand on the ground.
There was no point in resisting.
He had done everything he could, and he still wanted to return alive.
The Netherlands does not want to bury its bones in the Far East.
When his attendants saw him throwing away their weapons, they all laid down their weapons.
In the next few miles, dozens of Polu cavalry were using their short muskets, lances, and sabers to kill.
Anyone who resisted would be bombarded with muskets and cavalry, and then slashed with sabers.
As for those who did not resist, There is no way to escape, only those who put down their weapons and ignore them.
The distance of several miles was covered with corpses of Dutchmen.
Only a few dozen people ran back to the castle safely, while hundreds of others were either killed by cavalry or put down their weapons and surrendered
