0767 Encounters

At this time, the number of people on both sides has changed dramatically! The Dutch soldiers were caught off guard and were caught off guard by the four rounds of the opposing party's volley, killing and wounding more than half of them! Under normal circumstances, these Dutch soldiers should have collapsed a long time ago!

But the reason why they didn't collapse is not that they fought bravely! On the contrary, it is because this battle has happened so fast from the beginning to the present! It's so fast that they haven't reacted yet! So they still want to continue fighting according to their inertia.

The commander didn't want to grind anymore, he shouted directly: "Get on the bayonet!" ”

All the marines immediately drew their bayonets from their waists, stuck them in the muzzles, and rushed over with a roar! As a result, only a few of the remaining Dutch soldiers came forward with their swords held high! But after only one round of fighting, they were stabbed to the ground one after another, and they died without even delaying time!

A few of the remaining Dutch soldiers fired their muskets, but in the panic they couldn't get them right. Then comes the hand-to-hand fight! The remnants of the Dutch soldiers, who were no match for the Marines either in morale or organization, were directly stabbed to death by a dense cluster of bayonets! Even a few people who escaped were easily shot by the marines on the periphery!

The battle ended as quickly as possible, but the Marines teased each other with their bayonets and began to mend the wounded who fell to the ground with bayonets. As for the smoothbore guns used by the Dutch soldiers, although no one cared about them, they were collected by the soldiers.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the commander began to beckon the villagers to come out and ask them to dig a pit at the edge of the woods to bury the corpses. The trembling villagers left the village only to find that the battle was really over!

They have the impression that it will take some time for the back and forth of fighting to end. But they did not expect to hear the sound of four platoons of guns in the village, followed by a short fight, and then the battle ended. They couldn't help but reassess the combat effectiveness of these fellow villagers.

When they saw the bloody battlefield, they believed that they had really won! Only then did some people have the courage to dig a pit and bury the body. The commander called the village chief and said, "Me."

We've killed so many Dutchmen, maybe they'll send someone to retaliate! I think you should get out of here for a while. ”

But the village chief said with a displeased face: "Why did you kill them when you knew they would retaliate?" When the time comes, you're gone, aren't we the ones who are unlucky? ”

As soon as these words came out, the commander was stunned! He had no idea that the villagers here would treat them with such an attitude. The commander said indignantly, "Do you know what they came to your village for?" I'm here to grab something! Wouldn't it be good for us to help you defeat them? ”

But the village chief said, "Then let them grab it!" Anyway, it didn't hurt anyone! ”

But the village chief didn't know that if there were no two warships parked outside the port, let alone not hurting people, I am afraid that the entire village might be killed by the Dutch!

The officer learned the selfishness of the villagers, and there was some anger in his heart and an inexplicable sadness! At this moment, he had already comprehended what Liu Pei said when he gave them a lesson: "From the moment you picked up the firecracker, you are different from ordinary people. Ordinary people are selfish and cowardly, and only care about immediate interests. You can only rely on the gifts of the superior to get a little leftovers! You are different, you have become the backbone of this nation! You must pay your blood and sweat for this nation to broaden the living space of the entire nation! So when one day you find that you are different from them, don't push them away, they need you to set an example and live as a person! ”

The commander said coldly, "You'd better gather all the villagers and explain the situation clearly." Those who are willing to leave with us will leave with us. Those who don't want to leave also go to other villages. In case the Dutch retaliate, it's time to hide! ”

After the village chief gathered the villagers and told them about the situation, the commander tried his best to persuade them to leave. Only a small number of villagers were willing to evacuate with the Marines, and some were scared and wanted to take refuge in other villages. But most of the villagers decided to stay here. They thought that even if the Dutch came, it would be fine, and they didn't kill them anyway, as long as they let them grab something.

The rest

No matter how much the commanders and soldiers persuaded them, they were reluctant to leave. Finally, the commander said angrily: "How foolish is it to rely on the kindness of a foreign race for your own safety? ”

But he still couldn't resist these villagers, so he could only move to the beach with the villagers who were willing to go with them. The commander was ready to help them set up a small camp by the sea, and slowly waited for news.

That night, the commander consulted with the two captains and decided to lead the team back to the vicinity of the village tomorrow. They felt that they were indeed engaged in the village, and that it was their duty to stop them if the Dutch retaliated.

The next afternoon, when the commander approached the small village with his men and baggage, he heard a commotion inside the village! There were cries, smoke from the burning houses, and even sporadic gunshots!

The commander was anxious when he heard this! It seems that the Dutch have come to take revenge anyway! He immediately ordered his soldiers to abandon their baggage and move forward lightly.

When they rushed into the village, everyone was stunned to see the terrible scene in the village! There were more than a dozen dead bodies lying on the road between the villages, most of them old men, but in the middle lay the body of a child!

Smoke is rising from several houses in the village, large numbers of Dutch soldiers are going from house to house searching for villagers, and some are besieging a house in the middle of the village. It seems that most of the villagers are concentrated in their houses in the center of the town to resist.

In fact, this group of Dutch soldiers had only arrived a few moments before them, and if it weren't for that, the unarmed villagers would have been unable to resist it!

Since yesterday a squad of Dutch soldiers went missing, it has alarmed Governor Cohen and the officers! In their opinion, this indicates that there must be a strong, outnumbered group of pirates who must have landed, so that all 100 soldiers can be annihilated silently!

This attitude is exclusive to Westerners of this era. They have won consecutive battles, and they are arrogant to the point of empty-sightedness! They had the impression that if they wanted to annihilate their 100 soldiers, those pirates would have to be at least 300-500 people to do it. In fact, it was only a 60-man army that caught them off guard.
