Chapter 596 The whole family army can't afford to lose this person Yuan Zongdi's words were directly ignored by the rocket shells, although Yuan Zongdi, the major commander, has a transcendent status in the whole family army.But no matter how detached he was, he did not have the command of rocket artillery, and the command authority was in the hands of the commander, and they slowly asked each launcher about the preparations, and the preparations of each launcher were transmitted through the walkie-talkie."
Fire!"
With the commander's order, the non-commissioned officer who operates the rocket launcher now does not have to directly ignite the fuse that was tied into a bunch in the past.Now the rocket launch method, just like a grenade, directly takes the way of pulling the string, removing the safety pin, and the tail launch part of those rockets is detonated by friction, and the lightning mercury detonates the projectile.This process is not more convenient than the original fuse ignition method, but the key is that this kind of ignition method can reduce the probability of being discovered, especially when launched at night like now, if you still hold a torch, the enemy can be found several miles away or even more than ten miles away.After all, telescopes are not a new thing, not only Westerners have them, but even some generals of the Ming Dynasty are equipped with telescopes when they are not accepted at night.are improving, of course, it can also be unaffected by the weather, like the original rocket artillery, the fuse is afraid of moisture, when on the sea, affected by the moisture and air, there is a high probability that the rocket artillery will be dumb.This is more stealthy, which can not only adapt to the needs of stealth on the battlefield, but also reduce the impact of wet or rainy weather.After a dozen or so bells, there was a flash of lightning in the night sky, and milky white smoke and smoke swept behind the launch vehicles like a tsunami, and the 25 rocket launchers of the Marine Brigade plus the 15 launchers of the Guards Brigade made a total of 40 launchers, and the rocket launchers that could rotate 180 degrees were in full swing.The fire dragon roared out of the launch tube, pulled out a straight parabola, and pounced on the temporary dock with its teeth and claws, and in an instant, six hundred rocket artillery shells smashed into the temporary dock.With a telescope, you can see that every corner of the temporary dock has a dazzling explosion point, and the small explosion point instantly expands into a huge fireball, piece by piece, row by row, clump by cluster, forming a dense and terrifying flame forest, covering almost the entire temporary dock.The Makeshift Dock was rocked by a thunderous blast of blasts wrapped in shrapnel, flames, and countless debris, knocking down makeshift lighthouses built by the pirates, uprooting trees, and leveling everything it came across.Some of the trees were too tall for the blast wave to uproot them, but it wasn't easy either, the trees were covered with shrapnel in the blink of an eye, and what was even more terrifying was that the blast wave swept by, and the canopy burned like torches, and the leaves were obviously verdant, but they were crackling!
The entire makeshift dock has become purgatory, and I don't know how many pirates and mercenaries have been devoured in the flames, and how many people have been trapped in the fire and screaming, but who else can save them?
And who would dare to rush into the makeshift docks that had been turned into a furnace to save them?
As the saying goes, it will rain, the mother will marry, and everyone will take care of everyone.Hans Putmans' teeth were almost crushed, but there was nothing he could do, and several of his henchmen, who were still responsible for maintaining order in the back, were consumed by the flames.As Dutch employees of the Dutch East India Company, they were not like cheap mercenaries and pirates, who were also required to pay compensation to their families if they were killed.But the point is that if there were a large number of casualties, it would affect the recruitment of employees in the East Indies in the Netherlands, and the people of the colonies would not be able to describe it in general.Although the black population is large, they are too stupid to teach them to sail warships like this, if you calculate the trajectory of artillery projectiles, not to mention the more complicated commercial and financial calculations, these Dutch people.......As the artillery fire of the whole family army began to extend, an 82-millimeter mortar shell, still firing an incendiary bomb, directly hit a warship of 800 ships, burning the warship into a huge torch.As the torch was lit on the surface of the sea, more and more shells were fired at the warships on the sea."
Let's go, we can't stay here!"
Hans Putmans' proposal was unanimously supported, and the Combined European Fleet fled almost in panic from the effective range of the family's artillery, and the base of the embarrassed Seven Star Island was withdrawn.At this time, because it was too tense, the two warships collided, but fortunately, the speed was slow and the impact was not strong enough, and the warship was not damaged, but more than a dozen sailors fell into the sea.They are the same as pirates and mercenaries on the temporary docks, and no one cares whether they live or die.Everyone is in a heavy mood, retreating at this time means that they are completely defeated, and they have a limited number of pirates and mercenaries at hand.If it is not replenished, there is no landing battle at all, of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Jeon Wook's greed, they have all seen.The last time he used fifteen million taels of silver, he didn't impress him, and now what price does it take to calm Quan Xu's anger?
On the Jasmine of the European Combined Fleet, Peternois looked at the dejected representatives around him: "What about the losses?"
”Anthony Rodriguez said in despair: "The seven regiments of Zheng's infantry, as well as the Japanese samurai led by Maeda Mitsutaka, the people who withdrew were only loaded with one ship!"
”There is no doubt that the biggest loss is Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, including a large number of Zheng Zhilong's henchmen, all died in Luzon.Of the 25,000 or 6,000 men who went out to fight, less than 300 retreated, a ninety-tenth-nine-hundred-fold victory."
Seventeen knights of our Capes, all killed!"
Like Zheng Zhilong, the Capese family in France was also a complete tragedy, three warships, all destroyed, seventeen knights, and nearly three hundred French mercenaries led by them, all of whom were veterans who had served in France, and veterans of the French army who could beat Germany without temper.All died in Luzon or the Taiwan Strait.After half a day's inventory, the European Combined Fleet lost a total of 79 large and small warships and armed merchant ships, and more than 4,900 European explorers, who were actually pirates, withdrew less than 500 and 90 percent were killed.Even the Indian and black mercenaries, who were even worse than the Zheng family, were completely wiped out.With the withdrawal of the warship, the artillery bombardment of the whole family army gradually stopped, and they had no target to bomb, and if they continued to fight, Quan Xu would go crazy.Because the shells are valuable, the rifling of the barrel also has a service life."
Alas!"
As the shelling stopped, Li Yanqing let out a long sigh: "Under such a fierce artillery bombardment, it is estimated that there are not many living people, right?"
”"Whatever!"
Yuan Zongdi said with a smile: "Lao Li, don't think about fighting and fighting all day long, we are Hou Ye's personal guard brigade, and our task is not to fight, but to protect Hou Ye's safety!"
”"You're embarrassed to say that you're more aggressive than a dog!"
Before Li Yanqing's words were spoken, Yuan Zongdi looked at the Marine Brigade and said, "Why don't you clean up the battlefield?"
”"This kind of small wealth, I don't like it!""
Hmph, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!"
Yuan Zongdi said in his mouth, but he didn't move.Cleaning up the battlefield, they consciously gave up to the Fengzhou militia led by Pang Xingwang, after all, the militia suffered a lot of losses, and they were not like the soldiers of the whole family, enjoying military salaries.Cleaning up the battlefield is even if it is to make up for them."
I'm going back, I'm the head of Hou Ye's personal guard, and my main responsibility is to protect Hou Ye's safety!"
Yuan Zongdi yawned, rode a war horse, and walked towards Shenhu Town."
They ran away on a warship, so you're not worried at all?""
I'm worried about!"
Yuan Zongdi said with a smile: "If you let them run away again this time, those guys in the navy, officers above the major and above, if you have one, you have to be confined!"
”The waves crashed against the warship, and the European Combined Fleet had only two-thirds of the warships left at this time, and there were more than a hundred, but at this time, the places on the warships were much empty, and they could sleep in a cabin alone.The private lockers in those cabins were full of valuables, and the survivors could reap a huge windfall, but all of them did not mean to be excited.They are deeply uncertain about the future.The whole family army will not accept their surrender and will let them go?
The answer is self-explanatory.What's more, where is the fleet of the whole family army now?
The answer is also very simple, it is on Seven Star Island.The name of Seven Star Island has nothing to do with the Big Dipper at all, and when drawing the map, looking at the seven islands around, the surveyor who drew the map immediately made up a name.These small islands close to the coast are to learn from Zheng Zhilong's way, using trees and vegetation to carry out sail camouflage, when the whole family army pursued, they did not think that Westerners were as cunning as Zheng Zhilong, of course, the whole family army made a mistake this time, and more than 100 officers were punished for review.When he learned that he was on Qixing Island, Yang Yandong grabbed the captain and commander of the naval detachment, especially the patrol team, and scolded him for a full hour.As the sky grew brighter and darker, the dark night was finally coming to an end, and they welcomed a new day.Dozens of warships, pushing aside the dark clouds, like a dark cloud sinking on the sea, rushed towards the side of Qixing Island, and the leader was Zheng He.The current Zheng He has been reloaded with the originally dismantled naval guns and restored its original strength.On the deck of the Zheng He, Yang Yandong's face was gloomy, he slowly lowered his binoculars, and gave an order to the captains of all the warships of the whole family army: "We didn't run in vain this trip, this time, if anyone lets go of these Westerners again, you can jump into the sea yourself, the whole family army can't afford to lose this person!"
