0658 Clever Orientals

The Dutch commander was taken aback and forgot for a moment to give the order. Because in his impression, it would take more than ten seconds for the most elite Dutch soldiers to stop in the middle of the run and then form a horizontal line. And the other party actually completed it in three or four seconds!

His momentary distraction has caused irreparable effects on his side! Knowing that he came to his senses after hearing the order from the commander of the other party. The opposing commander raised his sword in his hand and shouted: "Ready!" ”

Only then did the Dutch commander raise his sword in astonishment and shouted: "Stop advancing!" ”

But then he heard the commander on the other side shouting, "Aim! ”

Immediately, the opponent's smoothbore guns were flattened one after another, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at them! The Dutch commander was even more flustered! Your own side is already slower than your opponent, and you are one link behind your opponent, which makes it even more difficult to shoot first!

But at this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only shout: "The whole team! ”

The Dutch began to pull loose formations in, turning them into dense formations that were convenient for shooting. But the stupid Dutch commander didn't think that when the other party was aiming at him, he was forming a dense formation, wasn't that really waiting to be shot?

At this time, the Dutch commander was more and more panicked! It's as hard to make a sound in my throat as if I've swallowed a piece of charcoal. Just as he was about to open his mouth to give the next order, his opponent had already preemptively given the order in succession: "Shoot!" ”

Not far in front of the Dutch commander, a line of red light flashed, followed by gunsmoke and gunfire! As the gunshots rang out, more than a dozen of their own people immediately fell! The Dutch commander has not yet had time to count the exact number, but this is no time to count it! He shouted desperately, "Aim! Aim! ”

As soon as he finished giving this order, the Dutch soldiers were still in the process of carrying it out in a hurry, and the opposite team had quickly completed the change. Under the orders of the commander, the soldiers in the second platoon completed all the preparatory movements smoothly. Just hear a shout: "Shoot!" ”

The second row of firearms fired a salvo again

Start! More than a dozen people have fallen among the Dutch people! The screams of the soldiers who were wounded in the two salvos came one after another, and it made people's hearts furious!

At this time, the Dutch commander had come to his senses, and he gritted his teeth and gave the order to return fire! The Dutch soldiers also shot revenge buckshot at each other with hatred!

The Dutch commander happily waited for the smoke to clear, wanting to see what was happening to the other side. But when the smoke cleared, he was surprised! Because the opponent's formation is not chaotic at all, it seems that there are no injured people! It was a surprise to him!

But he also understood, and the reason was simple. The shoulder-length breastwork was protective. Liu Pei's soldiers were behind their chests, and their bodies were only exposed with their heads and shoulders exposed. As long as you lower your head slightly when the opponent shoots, you will not be threatened by lead bullets at all! If you are still hit by the opponent in this situation, it can only be the result of a headshot. It can only show that this person is really unlucky to get home!

The people of the Dutch army were stunned from top to bottom! Especially those who stand on the castle. I was even more stunned! They look condescendingly more clearly than those on the front line. Your own team suffered successive blows, and dozens of people had fallen before and after, while the opponent did not take any blows. When the other side finally fought back, the other party was unscathed! It's so demoralizing!

Clyde put down his telescope and muttered, "That's what the wall does!" It's amazing! These Orientals are so smart! ”

That's often the way things are, and it's hard when you don't know. In fact, when you pierce a layer of window paper, you will find that things are very simple.

Just like before the First World War, how many Europeans played in line and shot to death before they found out that the breastwork had this effect? So they made the breastwork thicker and thicker. Later, the accuracy of artillery increased, and flowering shells became the standard shells. As soon as the breastwork collapsed, it lost its role in protecting the soldiers. So everyone returned to the state of face-to-face fighting.

Until one day, a clever man discovered that we don't have to build a wall, maybe we can dig a trench in the ground, which can't be hit by a cannon

! And so trench warfare arose. So Liu Pei taught these Dutch people a solid lesson today!

Chuck, the fat merchant, muttered, "What's the use of you knowing?" We can't pile sandbags outside the castle to defend against shells! ”

Major Clyde smirked, "Mr. Chuck, you're right, we can't pile sandbags as high as castles. But we can follow the example of the Ming people and put a circle of sandbags around the castle. So when they come to attack us, they will be the ones who will suffer heavy casualties! ”

Chuck was surprised when he heard this, and before he could say anything, Nils said angrily, "Mr. Clyde, have you forgotten something?" The soldiers in front are still bleeding! ”

In the short time they were talking, the two sides had already fired another round. The round hit two Marines, both of whom were shot in the head by buckshots. And the Dutch fell again by more than twenty people! The Dutch front is already on the verge of collapse!

Most of them had never encountered such a situation in their war careers. Except for a few of them who had participated in the Great War in Europe, the others were dealing with natives who only had cold weapons. Even if the natives had firearms, they were only a small number of low-quality firearms, and they were no match for them at all. That's why they have the illusion that they are brave and good at fighting.

But when they faced an equally resilient opponent, their faith was quickly shaken. You must know that in the battle of queuing up to be shot at that time, the courage and discipline of the troops were indispensable. These colonizers generally lacked both. They simply can't take much pressure!

In the movie "The Patriot", the actor once said: "The general asked us to stand in the front row and retreat with only three shots!" ”

This fully shows that queuing up to be shot is a very courageous thing! Therefore, in the Anglo-French War, there was an example of the British approaching the opponent within 15 meters and defeating the French army with a single salvo!

Clyde, of course, knew that the front line was no longer good. But he couldn't do anything standing on the far wall, so he could only be commanded by the front-line commander.
