Chapter 414 Barbed Wire Trench Tactics Clouds of gunpowder smoke wrapped in fireballs rushed up to a height of fifty or sixty meters.A huge roar sounded, and this huge roar made all the Dutch people present instantly deaf.The shock wave from the explosion of black powder raged like a hurricane across the docks.The Dutch soldiers who were forming a team on the dock were the first to bear the brunt, and the huge fireball, like a giant beast from ancient times, opened its bloody mouth and devoured those Dutch soldiers in an instant.The Dutch soldiers, who were preparing to explode at the center of the explosion, did not have time to scream, as if they had been turned to ashes by the lava eruption of a volcanic crater.The Dutch soldiers, who were a little further away from the center of the explosion, would be swept into the sky by an invisible giant hand, with a huge shock wave blowing their bodies apart......
Even farther away from the explosion, the Dutch soldiers did not seem to be affected by the shock wave of the explosion, and there were no visible injuries on their appearance, as if they were asleep, and they were knocked to the ground, sleeping peacefully.In fact, they are slowly bleeding and can no longer stand up, they are already dead, and those whose internal organs are shattered cannot be revived no matter what.The Dutch soldiers farther away, wailing and rolling to the ground, those who were lucky not to be injured were also frightened and stupid, standing there stupidly like clay carvings and wooden sculptures, letting the blood rain on their heads, and the organs of their limbs and broken arms smashed on their bodies, motionless, their faces were pale, their expressions were terrified, their eyes were completely out of focus, and they only felt that the sky had collapsed, the earth had cracked, and the end of the world had come!
What's more, due to the distance from the center of the explosion, the powerful shock wave actually deduced the tall mast of the Galen ship, which was as high as forty-six meters, and the huge mast smashed into another ship that was about to enter the port, and as a result, the ship was directly sunk.The Luermen waterway was blocked in this way......
When the smoke cleared, the entire wharf became a Shura field, and the entire port and the entire wharf became extremely quiet.More than ten nautical miles away, on the flagship of the Zheng fleet, Zheng Zhilong slowly lowered the telescope and was speechless for a long time.Shi Lang, the general beside Zheng Zhibao, asked nervously, "Master Leopard, what's going on?"
”"The Dutch were ambushed by the whole family!"
Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly: "It seems that there are heavy losses. ”Zheng Zhibao was a little depressed, Zheng Zhilong was in the Zheng Group, and he said everything he said, but why did he provoke Quanxu, a madman?
That's right, under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, the Zheng family started from scratch, and in just a dozen years, it has developed into a new overlord on the sea, but no matter how strong the Zheng family is, don't provoke that madman from Quan Xu?
In these days, naval battles almost never happen at night, because the line of sight is not good, and navigation is prone to accidents, let alone naval battles?
However, Jeon Wook, a madman, chose to fight a naval battle at night.Quan Xu's guess was not entirely right, he didn't scare the Dutch, he didn't scare Zheng Zhilong, but he scared Zheng Zhibao.Although he was dissatisfied with Zheng Zhilong's single-minded enemy of Quan Xu, he didn't dare to say it.In fact, Zheng Zhilong is also difficult to ride a tiger.As a pirate king who relied on the protection of merchant ships, his prestige is to establish absolute dominance, although he has more than 3,000 ships, but these more than 3,000 ships cannot control the entire sea, there must be fish that slip through the net.He needs those maritime merchants to take the initiative to pay taxes automatically like paying taxes, instead of searching one ship after another.Quanji's merchant ships generally do not take the Nanyang route, at most Dengzhou and Liaodong, and occasionally go to the south of the Yangtze River, but no matter where they go, Quanji's merchant ships do not pay taxes to Zheng Zhilong.Zheng Zhilong also gave Quan Xu face, hoping that Quan Xu could abide by the rules and give him a face as a pirate king, even if it was a symbolic little money, he could also borrow Po to step down.It's a pity that Quan Xu didn't give him this face, and because Quan Xu didn't teach the boat fare, the Liangzi of the two sides had actually been settled, and when attacking Liaodong, he was also like, Quan Xu could sit down and negotiate.There are some things that there is no way to say whether they are right or wrong, but the position is different.As the Pirate King, Zheng Zhilong must be responsible for him, the Zheng Group.Zheng Zhilong's mood was very bad, when he took more than 60 warships, the warships stretched for more than ten miles, and the flag covered the sea, how majestic?
However, after the First World War, there was only one warship left that had the order to flee with him to Fujian.This is a typical pretending to be fucked instead of being fucked.Zheng Zhilong's failure has made his status as the master faintly shaken, if there is another failure, I am afraid that the Zheng dynasty will collapse with a bang!
…… Jiang Baisheng never thought that he was just using waste, just burying the black powder of the captured Dutch in the port built by the Dutch, and then sending it to the Dutch.This is also considered to be the end of the wall to the Netherlands.However, the Dutch attack was delayed for a full three days, and the explosion killed at least 400 Dutchmen and wounded as many as 6 or 700.What's more, due to the distance from the center of the explosion, the powerful shock wave actually deduced the tall mast of the Galen ship, which was as high as forty-six meters, and the huge mast smashed into another ship that was about to enter the port, and as a result, the ship was directly sunk.In this way, the Luermen waterway was blocked, and after three days and three nights, the waterway was finally dredged, and the morale of the Dutch became low due to the impact of the explosion.There is no way not to be depressed, and no one will feel good about this matter.The Dutch are no better than the Ming people, even if a group of rogues, it is as little as thousands, more than tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and the Dutch sent to Taiwan this time to seize the island There are more than 5,000 marines, which is almost the highest force that the entire East India Company can draw.However, they came to Taiwan in high spirits, and they did not even see the whole family army, and with a loud bang, more than two centaurs disappeared from the battle sequence.Finally cleaned up the wrecked ships in the alley, cleaned up the port wharf, and once again embed all the way down the city, and the whole family army had already prepared the fortifications.The Dutch unexpectedly found that the whole family army did not resist the city inside the red embedded city, nor did they line up outside the city, but used wooden stakes thick as a sea bowl, wrapped around the wire, with the red embedded city as the center of the rejection point, along the outside of the city, spread outward, these wooden stakes and iron wires, as if like a fence, surrounded the entire city.In the face of this inconspicuous tactic, the colonial army of the Dutch, as well as the Spanish representatives, the Zheng representatives, did not pay attention.In fact, Jiang Baisheng actually didn't understand why he wanted to dig trenches about one meter five deep and two meters wide in the ground, which was not a low workload.The Dutch were still learning how to shoot in line with muskets, but they were faced with the tactics of mines, trenches, and barbed wire forts that were only available in the First World War.Because the barbed wire fence is very large, there are very few soldiers of the whole family army on the periphery."
They're trying to stop us with this barbed wire?
Isn't it underestimating us?
”Several Dutch Army officers looked at each other, they had never encountered such a situation."
Such a barbed wire fence, the highest is only 1.5 meters, the big deal is to cut it, and it can't form any obstacles for us!""
This barbed wire fence is a good thing, it is used to enpen sheep, and the sheep will never be able to run out......"
"Okay, I was wrong, why don't we try to beat it?"
And they hid in the trenches, and in some places, there were small sheds built with canvas, so this phenomenon was both strange and indescribable.After half an hour of preparation, the Dutch artillery slowly pushed up, and the artillery had actually just been dismantled from the battleship, and began to unscrupulously adjust the firing boundary against this fortification.The Dutch wanted to settle the battle by artillery bombardment, which was somewhat unexpected, because the trenches crisscrossed with barbed wire, like a spider's web, extended the defensive line outward to at least a thousand meters.The Dutch wanted to learn from their whole army to fire outside the city, and the range of the artillery was still a little out of reach.Although they couldn't reach it, the artillery of the whole family army was condescending.Just as the Dutch artillery was preparing to set up a firing position, an interpreter approached the trench with a white flag, apparently preparing to persuade him to surrender.As a result, the interpreter had just entered the outermost trench when suddenly his feet went limp."
Oops......"
This is the clamp that hunters use to catch wild boars, and the sharp spikes are inserted into the interpreter's calf, directly stuck in the bone, and the pain is so painful that he almost faints."
Despicable, shameless......" all kinds of foul words were scolded, but unfortunately, the distance was too far for the whole family soldiers to hear.Finally, the construction of the artillery positions of the Dutch was completed, and they were ready to fire shells."
Boom ......"
The Dutch artillery let out a deafening roar, and the hot lead ball pulled out a graceful parabola and smashed it against the position of the whole army.The cannonballs hit the mound of dirt hard, and the dirt was splashed everywhere, and the soft mound was vulnerable!
However, what was surprising was that the shell hit the loose and thrown dirt, and it suddenly sank into it, unable to move!
Shells flew one after another, either in the mound in front of the trench or over the trench and hit the open space behind, and as for the shells that happened to hit the trench, there was not a single one out of ten!
The whole family was very nervous at first, but when they saw that the Dutch artillery had been fighting for a long time, and they were stunned that not a single shell had hit anyone, they were all happy, and laughed loudly at the Dutch in the interval between the roar of the artillery."
Red-haired ghost, didn't you eat milk today?
There is also a weak force to fire a cannon!
”Some of the soldiers of the whole family took out the shells that had been trapped in the loose earth and threw them around, which was a good thing, although it could not be used directly by the artillerymen, and it was also colored to the Dutch, but it could be melted into lead bullets for firecrackers, and it could also be sold for money, and there were many benefits anyway.The others followed suit, picking up the still steaming shells between the shells, and in a few moments they picked up a pile, and they laughed happily and shouted: "Red-haired ghosts, are you here to fight or to bring us ammunition?"
