0665 Storming the Castle

Unfortunately, the Dutch ran a few dozen paces first, and then quickly closed the gates, keeping their pursuers out. But the commander had no hope of taking the gates. Because he himself was personally leading his troops directly into the breach in the outer wall of the castle.

As soon as they approached the breach in the outer wall of the castle for more than twenty steps, a row of people suddenly stood up in the breach and fired a dense burst of lead bullets at them! The soldiers who ran at the front were immediately knocked down by five or six people! But now the strings had to be fired, and the soldiers could only continue to shout and rush forward.

The first platoon of Dutchlanders retreated to reload their ammunition, while the second platoon continued to shoot with guns. This time it was so close that five or six more soldiers were immediately knocked to the ground on the spot! But precisely because the distance was so close, it was too late for the Dutch to reload their ammunition!

The soldiers had already rushed directly down the slope formed by the broken bricks and tiles into the inside of the breach. The swords and shields slammed their shields forward, crashing into the crowd of Dutch people! At the same time, find the opportunity to swing the knife and slash indiscriminately! The fire rushers drew their bayonets from their waists and stuck them in the muzzles of their guns, and rushed forward with the sword and shield hands.

There weren't many people in Clyde's arrangement near the breach. In fact, Clyde didn't let them defend the breach here. Because with only twenty or thirty people, it is impossible to defend here. Clyde's order was to wait for the battle outside to begin repairing the breach as soon as the battle began.

But what they didn't expect was that Liu Pei actually used a large-caliber mortar cannon! And with just three rounds of flowering shells, it completely blew up the Dutch defenses! Before they could repair the hole, they were rushed by Liu Pei's soldiers.

The battle at the breach in the castle's outer wall was unusually short. In just one minute, more than 20 people were cut down to the ground, and not a single living mouth was left. Then the soldiers poured into the castle! Although the artillery on the castle tried desperately to intercept it, most of the soldiers had already entered the dead corner of the artillery, and there was no way to stop it!

Seeing the emptiness ahead, the mortar troops moved directly to the first breastwork, and after using the breastwork as a cover to ensure their own safety, they began to bombard the wall with flowering shells

and various gun emplacements! For a while, explosions on the castle were heard one after another.

The battle outside the castle has become one-sided, and the battle inside the castle is even more overwhelming! The main castle of the entire city of Geranza is like a hard walnut. When a hole is drilled into his crust, the nuts inside are absolutely unsaved!

Although the Dutch people in the castle resisted desperately, they continued to lose under the onslaught of the soldiers! Sections of the castle, one area after another, fell into the hands of the soldiers. Even if they set up a defensive position somewhere, they were still annihilated under the onslaught of the soldiers, and they did not even stir up a few waves!

However, several gates were lowered inside the castle in an attempt to block the enemy's attack. But these things have long been expected by Liu Pei. After all, how could a European-style castle be without such defensive tools? Therefore, Liu Pei had already arranged for many soldiers to carry explosive bags. As long as it is lit and thrown over, how strong the gate is also destroyed!

After the soldiers stormed the castle, Liu Pei was also worried that there would not be enough more than 1,000 army soldiers, so he invested more than 200 marines and more than 400 sailors. Now Liu Pei has an absolute numerical advantage!

After the soldiers stormed the castle, the role of the sword and shield hand was significantly greater than that of the fire gun. The castle had many narrow alleys, which were not suitable for the use of the bayonets of the firecrackers. The combination of attack and defense of the sword and shield hand has caused greater damage to the enemy.

In just a quarter of an hour, the first floor of the castle was largely cleared. All the Dutch had to retreat to the second layer. The first layer was seized so quickly that even the civilians in the castle courtyard didn't have time to evacuate! Some unarmed soldiers also had to hide in the church in the courtyard with the women and children.

During the search, the soldiers found a church packed with people. But the soldiers didn't have time to pay attention to them, but only a few people were allowed to watch them, and the rest went to clear all corners of the first floor of the castle.

When the Dutch retreated to the second level of the castle, they discovered a serious problem, that is, most of the people who fled back had no weapons at all, and the weapons warehouse was on the first floor of the castle

, which has been completely occupied by Liu Pei's soldiers. They were armed only with a small number of weapons that were placed in advance on the second floor.

After capturing the first floor of the castle, the soldiers slowed down their attack. Begin to clear the entire floor, the basement and the courtyard of the castle. The Dutch also took the opportunity to consolidate the second layer of defense. They piled up debris at the top of the staircase and built simple fortifications.

It was only when they were leaning on the fortifications that they could barely breathe a sigh of relief! They thought that they had temporarily resisted the opponent's attack, but what they didn't know was that Liu Pei didn't want the soldiers to sacrifice senselessly when he ordered the attack to be suspended. At the same time, clear the occupied area to avoid problems in the back road. They built small fortifications with debris, and a bag of explosives would solve the problem!

In the conference room on the third floor of the castle, Nils and several people gathered together again. At this point, their faces became even more ugly. Even more unfortunate was Clyde's right arm! A soldier is bandaging his wounds. This is the price he paid after his death! A sword and shield soldier cut off his sword, and by the way, slashed him in the arm! Now his right arm is completely out of strength!

When Clyde finished bandaging his wounds, Chuck couldn't wait to say, "How's it going, gentlemen?" Now I feel it's time to surrender! ”

Clyde didn't speak, but Nils, who was standing by the window, straightened up and said, "Mr. Chuck, don't talk about these useless things, prepare to resist to the end!" You should come here and see how those heretics treat our wounded! They killed all the wounded who still had hope of being saved! ”

Chuck walked briskly to the window and looked out. I saw that in the small courtyard behind the castle, a large number of people were gathering. All those who went in were clearly divided, and on the left were women and children. On the right are adult men and young men who are close to adulthood. In the middle of the two piles were a dozen corpses piled together, and a soldier was dragging a corpse onto the pile of corpses!

Before Chuck could speak, two Dutch wounded men came out of each other's arms. As soon as they reached the courtyard, two soldiers stepped forward to separate the two men and forced them to walk themselves into the crowd.
