vs 471 The Ambonians are defeated
It turned out that the natives had put their troops on the seashore, and the battleships of the Southeast Province in the distance saw that they could take advantage of it, and immediately fired 24-pounder guns and 18-pounder guns!
The range of heavy artillery is still there, taking the 24-pounder gun as an example, when the angle of fire is 8 degrees, it can hit up to 2,000 meters away, and the battleship smashed the shells indiscriminately, in fact, it did not hurt many people, but the natives were emotional, and they were beaten by the other side and had no power to fight back, which undoubtedly caused morale to fall
Many.
Abdullah Harrig was naturally a little capable, and he rode on a chestnut horse and ordered the natives: "Attack! ”
In an instant, the native army took a big step forward and launched a fierce attack.
They came with great violence, like a flash flood, and the heroes of the Marine Corps of the Southeast Army who opposed them did not hurry to block the horses in front of them, and these horses were a combination of wooden sticks, sharp and upward, in order to stop the enemy.
Then the officers gave the order one after another.
"Stand upright, look to the right and ......"
"Squat down in the front row! Stab, load, raise and aim! ”
"Artillery loading!"
The shouts of officers at all levels came and went, and the troops of 3,000 men were neatly arranged to form six phalanxes, the first three and the last three, the first and second phalanx, respectively, and stood still ready to fire their guns.
"Put!"
The officers raised their voices and roared loudly, and the muzzles of hundreds of muskets burst out at the same time, and white smoke erupted violently, filling the gap between the two armies. The natives who rushed from the opposite side all fell down one layer in unison.
"Put!"
"Put!"
Within a minute, the Southeastern Army had reached a rate of nearly three rounds per capita, and they used fixed-loading paper-shell bullets, packed the quantitative gunpowder and projectiles in a waterproof paper cartridge, and used them to bite the cartridge open with their teeth, pour part of the gunpowder into the firing pool, and then leave the rest
The gunpowder and projectiles were stuffed into the barrel with a throughbar, because the indigenous army had no armor on them, and the projectiles fired by the Southeastern Army were buckshots!
A dense enough rain of bullets was fired, and the rushing native army fell a few hundred people!
Not to be outdone, they threw short spears!
It seems to be overwhelming, the southeast army no longer carries a shield, does not dodge, with the fearless spirit of lining up to shoot the opponent's short spear, the good news is that the helmet and armor of the army are still quite effective.
In addition to the muskets, the artillery also fired, and the 2-pounder gun fired a string of shotguns, which immediately caused a wave of blood to rush across the opposite side of the native army, and the screams continued to be heard.
At the same time, the Southeastern Army, which was located in the rear, threw a large number of small grenades, and their projectiles could be blocked by wearing thicker clothes, but they felt pain when they hit the body of the indigenous army Guolu.
……
Among the front-line teams participating in the battle, there was the platoon of Red, who fired calmly, and the long-term training allowed him to move in an orderly manner, beyond the level of many comrades, and the muzzle of the gun continued to spray smoke and fire, killing and injuring the enemy.
His luck was also good, several comrades around him were shot by spears, but he was not scathed, and some were shot by spears and hit the helmet and knocked unconscious on the spot! There are also those who are pierced in the thigh and through! Others were shot in their armor, and although they were not injured, they were bruised in large areas after disarming.
In the face of the enemy's spear throwing, the marines had no one to retreat, desperately shooting, God blessed the Southeast Army, and the gunpowder smoke was blown away, making it convenient for the Southeast Army to attack the indigenous army.
The indigenous army rushed forward desperately, and when they rushed to the front of the rejection of the horse, the first phalanx of the southeast army fired the last round of muskets, knocking a large number of indigenous troops to the ground, and then slowly retreated back to the second phalanx.
When it was the turn of the second phalanx to fire, the muskets rang out, and the native soldiers flipped on their backs, suffering a hewn of dead and wounded.
Seeing that the attack was unfavorable, Sultan Abdullah Harrig, who was supervising the battle from a high position in the rear, closed his eyes in pain!
Just now he saw that the warrior Ayub led the army with great ferocity, and he had already killed in front of the southeast army.
However, they threw a large bomb at him, which exploded around him, causing black smoke to billow, and Ayub was blown away, falling heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
The enemy's firearms are sharp, and the soldiers have been abused when they come forward to deliver food!
No matter how strong the hero is, he will not be able to play a role in the musket phalanx at all.
However, it can't be done without attacking, and behind it is Ambon City!
Once Ambon City is lost, what use will he have as a Sudan!
The offensive posture of the indigenous army is contained!
Even if the priest called on them to die bravely and become warriors, once they returned to heaven, a number of virgins would not arouse their fighting spirit, and more and more hesitation made them stop.
Seeing the enemy watching, the marines, under the command of the officers, loaded and moved forward!
With a loud bang, rows of native troops fell.
The Marines stopped advancing, reloaded, and moved on.
The natives became more and more confused, and deserters began to appear.
More and more natives fled inland, and the Southeastern Army regained its lost territory and slaughtered under the golden banner of Sudan Abdullah Harrig.
There were also musketeers, three hundred arquebusiers ready to set up their guns.
Abdullah Harrig formed arquebusiers by purchasing arquebuses from Hongmaofan, and their muskets were not small in caliber, ranging from 13CM to 15CM, supported by shelves, and when they saw the approach of the Southeastern Army, they lit the arquebuses under the command of Dutch instructors.
"Bang bang bang!" Some fell in the ranks of the Southeastern Army.
Even with armor, the powder gun can still break through the defense.
The South-Eastern Army immediately returned to color, arquebusiers fell more---- they were unarmoured.
Shoot at each other, line up and shoot.
Abdullah Harrig's heart sank as he saw his array of musketeers crumbling and falling at an alarming rate, and in some places had already been shot through by the Southeast.
Flintlock pistols VS arquebuses, armored vs unarmoured, trained VS untrained, the Southeastern Army slaughtered the indigenous musketeers one-sidedly!
When the arquebusiers were defeated, Abdullah Harrig fled, having lost the courage to fight.
As soon as he fled, the indigenous army also collapsed at a rapid speed, scrambled to flee for his life, and even Su Dan's golden flag was gone, fell to the ground, and was picked up by the southeast army as a good trophy.
Harrig fled all the way back to the royal palace in Ambon, and while he was still breathing, his subordinates reported: "The enemy is coming!" ”
The foot strength of the southeastern army was very good, and the neatly lined up marched towards Ambon City.
Hearing this, Harrig couldn't help but despair, he knew that the city defense of Ambon City was not good at all, at most there was a wall, and in many places there was no wall, how could it resist the enemy's attack.
He waved his hand weakly and said, "Prepare the horses, let's go to the Ambon Fort!" ”
……
The Southeastern Army enters Ambon!
They carried interpreters and shouted along the street: "On the orders of the Governor of Java, Tran Duc, in the southeast province, we will start a war with our army, Ambon is an enemy-occupied area, and all the people will be reduced to slaves, if you obey the order, you can save your life, otherwise you will be shot!" ”
"Bang!"
The Southeast Army shoots the natives who dare to resist!
"Peng!"
The Southeastern Army broke open the door of the native's hut, rushed in, and brought the natives out!
Take the people away first, control the people later, and then talk about the rest.
Red and the officers led their platoon of men to perform duty, searched along the streets, and saw a large mansion in front of them, which seemed to be in the style of southern Fujian, with a stone lion in front of the door, and at first glance it was a Chinese house.
Seeing that the black oil door was closed, "What should I do?" The soldier asked.
"Knock on the door and search for the enemy!" Red commanded that the Southeastern Army's combat manual made it clear what to do in the enemy-occupied area.
The soldier came up and knocked on the door, saying that if he didn't open the door again, he would slam the door!
A crack opened in the door, and several Chinese were on the other side of the door, and an older Chinese dressed in Ming clothes asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
