Chapter 584 Traitor Lackeys "These Westerners, in fact, have nothing to fear, their muskets are worse than the muskets in our hands, they can only be fired within forty to fifty steps, while our muskets can hit a hole with one shot within eighty steps!"
”When Shen Sifang returned to Shenhu Fort, he immediately closed the city gate, raised the suspension bridge, and took the militia to start the final guidance.In fact, they have all trained for these contents, but training is training, and when it comes to the real war, many people are nervous."
As long as these Westerners are within forty steps, you can hide, and no one will touch their heads!"
Shen Sifang pointed to the pirate musketeers in the distance, as well as a large number of mercenaries, among which the most serious formation was not those Westerner musketeers, but the six Spanish phalanxes under Zheng Zhilong's command.These armies had long training sessions, they were the most well-formed, and they were armed with a large number of muskets, but the number of muskets could not be compared to that of the whole army."
The musket of the Westerners is within forty paces, quite accurate, and it is said that shooting your head will never touch your neck!
They will take turns shooting at the city walls, raining bullets incessantly, covering the infantry to enter the city......"
"At this time, you must not raise your head, really do not expose your body to the city plate, otherwise you will surely die!"
Be sure to calm down, wait until the Westerners get close to the city wall, and then throw down the ash bottle stones, and when they climb the ladder, they will go to defend the city, the Chinese people have already developed a habit, the people of Shenhu Town, there are also some people who have participated in the exile army, they have rich experience in attacking the city, but they lack equipment, and they are not familiar with defending the city.As early as yesterday evening, when Shenhu Town abandoned the villages and strongholds on the periphery, they began to prepare materials to defend the city, especially the dozen or so public toilets in the town fort, as well as the private toilets of each family, and the feces in them were collected, not too much, because the feces needed to be fertilized.However, there are still thousands of catties of dung, which were moved to the city wall, poured oil into a cauldron, and began to be boiled with a fierce fire, and the entire city wall is now stinking."
The musketeer must not panic when shooting, as he panics and gets out of order......
It is necessary to fire at the same time, so that it can effectively kill and injure the enemy......"
I have to say that Shen Sifang is indeed experienced in a hundred battles, and the experience he has accumulated on the battlefield is a priceless treasure for these militiamen, and everyone is happy and convinced of him.In addition to strictly guarding the city wall, he also organized the soldiers who were rotated to rest for assault training, as for how effective it can be, it is not known, anyway, the soldiers are very serious, and it can even be said that they are playing with their lives."
Don't be afraid, big guy, Hou Ye said, whether it is the army or the people, as long as they die in battle when resisting foreign humiliation, they can enjoy the pension silver, our militia is almost, and those who die in battle will be given twenty taels of pension silver!"
Shen Sifang then smiled and said: "However, you'd better not die, live well, kill a Westerner, have a price with Jiannu, reward five taels of silver, and be able to live and learn to get five taels of silver to spend all day drinking, how can it be better than dying in exchange for twenty taels of pension silver, right?"
”The crowd burst into laughter.However, there must be some worries: "Brother Shen, you said, our town has been attacked by Westerners, will the whole family army come?"
”"How could you not come?"
Shen Sifang said with a smile: "When I served in the whole family army, we looked forward to fighting every day, do you think, we only have a few dollars a month?"
As long as you snap your fingers, it will be at least a month's worth of money, who would be afraid of more money?
There are restrictions on buying land in Liaodong, a person can not exceed 1,000 acres of land at most, in our Luzon, there is no limit, no fiefdom, save more family business for children, even if there is a bad son in the future, the loser will lose a few more years!
”"Haha!"
If we talk about the town fort in Liaodong, it still has certain characteristics, however, the town fort in Luzon is basically the same, the same city wall height, the same city wall width, and the same town fort area.This is simply a copy of the whole family Zhuang town, of course, Zhuangjiazhuang town is built of green bricks and reinforced concrete, and the town fort of Luzon is more selective, just like the current Shenhu Town, the location of Shenhu Town, in fact, it is a small area of stone lonely mountain.After the stone mountain was blown up with explosives, Shenhu Town was built on the basis of the original site, and the town fort covers an area of about 1,500 acres, which is not comparable with the county seat and state city at all.However, with the castles built by the Spanish, it would be too big.Taking the city of San Salvador in Keelung, Taiwan as an example, it is almost quite a square, with a length of about 99 to 100 meters on each side, an area of about 10,000 square meters, and an area of about 15 acres.Fort Anthony is slightly larger than the city of San Salvador, with a circumference of about 406 meters and an area of about 12,000 kilometers.However, Shenhu Town is larger than the city of Manila built by the Spaniards, and even ten times larger than the Sanshui and Chicken Coops in Taiwan combined."
Gentlemen, according to our intelligence, the Marquis of the East has emigrated more than a million people to Luzon in the past two years!"
Peter Nuis looked at the fort in Shenhu Town: "This castle in front of us is almost a few hundred in the whole of Luzon!"
”"Oh God!"
Hearing this news, the European colonizers felt extremely desperate, this is the gap, when the Spanish occupied Luzon for 70 or 80 years, but the whole of Luzon was only about 4,000 Spaniards, and these more than 4,000 people also included the Dutch, Portuguese, and Holy Romans.Theoretically, the current Spanish Empire was not only the suzerainty of Portugal, but also the Holy Roman Empire and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, all of whom belonged to the Spaniards."
On the island of Luzon, there are almost 20,000 or 30,000 horses with the Ming army.Gentlemen, it's not that I'm alarmist, in fact, their army, more powerful than the navy. ”Peter Nuis solemnly looked at the delegates and said: "Their naval force has only been established for more than three years, and the army has a history of several hundred years, this is not the key, the key is that the Ming Dynasty has more than two million troops, although a considerable part of the army, combat effectiveness is extremely poor, but the elite troops also have more than 100,000 people, it is a pity, the army that can be sent to Luzon is the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, our time is limited, we have to catch up before the Ming army comes, we have to fight quickly, grab things and leave immediately!"
”"What are we going to do if someone stands in the way?!""
Do you need to ask?
Kill them!
”Colonel Juan Carlos's own brother, on the island of Luzon, was a plantation owner, and in the Spanish era, their plantations were not acres or acres, but square kilometers.Of course, Juan Carlos's younger brother was born and dead, which made him very hostile to the Ming people: "Think about how they treated us, Luzon should have belonged to us, it was they who robbed us of our land and killed our family cleanly, we must take revenge!"
”"Revenge!""
That Marquis of the Far East won't let us go!"
This voice is also trembling, Quan Xu's deterrent power can stop children crying at night among Westerners, there are not many Spaniards in Taiwan, but there are many Dutch, and now, there is no Dutch and Spanish in Taiwan, and the same is true of Luzon.The Spaniards in Taiwan and Luzon also had seven or eight thousand people, and these people have become ownerless ghosts.If you want to talk about blood feuds, those Japanese samurai can say it, but it's a pity that they don't have the right to speak here."
After we rob it, we can return to Europe, you don't know how rich these Ming people are, they can't eat all the food, there are countless sheep in the sheepfold, there are dozens of cattle on any farm, it is enough for us to eat a full meal for 20,000 or 30,000 people, such a castle, we only need to grab one and send it!"
In the eyes of the pirates, this huge city, as long as they break through it, it will be worth the trip.The only difficulty was that this kind of castle made of stone was not afraid of artillery bombardment, not to mention the field artillery they carried, even if they pulled the most powerful sixty-pounder cannon, they could not help this castle.However, as explorers, as pirates, they have a lot of experience in attacking cities and land.Peter Nuis said to a Nanyang Chinese: "Yang, you go and shout to them, let the Ming people in the city surrender immediately, otherwise after the city is broken, I will swear to slaughter the whole city!"
”Yang Miaolu is the Chinese who live in Zamboanga, Zamboanga is the official name of the Ming Dynasty for Mindanao, as early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Miaolu's grandfather migrated to Zamboanga, to operate sugar cane, production of cane for a living, he belongs to the three generations of Chinese, since he was born in Zamboanga, never came to Daming, of course, there is no good impression of Daming, let alone a sense of belonging.The farthest distance was to Luzon, for fifty pounds he sold everything he had seen and heard from Luzon to Peternois.Soon Yang Miaolu walked towards Shenhu Town with a white flag, he was not afraid, he thought that there were only a few hundred people in such a small town as Shenhu Town, but they had more than 30,000 people, and there was nothing to resist.Surrender is the only way out.He came to the drawbridge and shouted at the city through the drawbridge: "Listen to the dogs in the city, you are surrounded, and no one will come to save you!"
If you surrender immediately, we can still let you live, otherwise after the city is broken, our army will slaughter the whole city, and there will be no chickens and dogs!
”Shen Sifang listened to this voice, and was faintly familiar: "Ergou, let's see if this guy is the one who followed Master Li Daxiong and Master Li to our town to collect flax last time?"
”"It's not him, who else can there be!""
Listen to the Ming dog in the city, you have already ......"
Just when Yang Miaolu was about to shout again, Shen Sifang scolded angrily: "Good people don't do it, why do you want to be a dog for Westerners!"
