At first, the Dutch thought that their own family had rebelled, and Storm wanted to usurp power!

But seeing that the situation was not right, they soon understood that it was the Ming people who came to attack!

Yan Tian and Deng Tianyan were responsible for attacking the dock area, Yan Tian jumped ashore and first hacked to death a Dutch officer on the dock, and the soldiers behind him opened their knives left and right, cutting down the Dutch soldiers on guard on the dock.

A Dutch soldier was shot to death by the Beigang soldiers before he could fire a single shot!

Deng Tianyan gathered his musketeers and followed Yan Tian into action.

Suddenly, there were more than a dozen Dutch sergeants and hundreds of servants on the dock, but almost all of them were scattered and could not be assembled, they saw groups of Beigang soldiers rushing towards them, and fell into the embarrassment of fighting their own battles, some of them trembled and loaded their guns, and some of them were at a loss, and they ran directly backwards alertly.

The Beigang soldiers used knives in close combat, and fired their guns from afar, and the Dutch who did it were killed first, while the servant sergeant simply raised his gun and knelt on the ground!

For a while, hundreds of people knelt on the ground, and the Dutch officers who saw it were afraid that their faces would be crooked.

Their guns and weapons were confiscated, and they were held together, and the North Harbor soldiers swept through the docks.

Other places are not bad, Beigang No. 1 opened artillery bombardment of Orange City, and the fight was impressive, there was a posture but not reality, and there were many shells that did not know where to bomb.

You don't have to think about hitting the fort on the city of Orange directly, but the cannonballs are flying sideways in the city, and the chaos is quite passable, and the explosion makes the people in the city panic.

Beigang No. 2 leaned against two gunboats of the same class moored in the harbor, and the sailor battalion immediately jumped into the fight.

What made them great joy was that there were not many officers and men on the gunboat, and most of them went ashore, so it was cheaper for the sailor battalion.

The Dutch who resisted died by the swords and guns, and the rest of the people surrendered one after another, and those servants had almost no combat effectiveness.

There were also two large ships in the harbor, and a merchant ship from the sailor battalion sailed towards them, and the situation was very good.

The governor of the city of Orange was named Mattheis, the captain of the ship, who had always lived in the city, but he did not expect disaster to fall from the sky, and when he heard the sound of cannons, he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and when he heard that it was Andrew's cannon fire into the city, he could not help but wonder, and thought that Storm was trying to rebel, he went up to the city and observed with a telescope, and immediately shouted: "This is the Ming people!" ”

"But their uniforms are weird!"

"It doesn't matter what military uniform he is, sir, your orders!" A bearded man named Paul Buck asked.

Mattheis ordered: "Open fire on them, use eight cannons against the Akito on the docks, and two cannons against the Andrew!" Concentrate your manpower and line up to fight! ”

"Yes!"

The second cannon bombardment of the Andrew only served as a deterrent and did not let it run rampant. Mattheis knows very well that it is a long thing to sink a battleship with solid shells in the sail period, to put it bluntly, if you sit on a fifth-class ship, you are alone on this ship, you drink tea, and the enemy is also a fifth-class battleship, fully armed, with a full crew, constantly bombarding your ship, maybe your tea can be drunk from morning to afternoon... Still not sinking!

So the cannon should still be used against the enemies on the docks!

Paul Buck immediately ordered the muzzle to be turned, and their cannon was a 32-pounder gun (caliber 15.9 cm), which was not small, but it was also bulky, weighing nearly three tons!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……”

Explosions sounded, shells flew with a roar, and the Beigang soldiers on the dock were hit squarely!

Some people were hit by shells and died on the spot, while others were injured by the side of the shells, and a shell went through, and six Beigang soldiers fell to the ground on the way!

Seeing the miserable appearance of the accomplices, everyone's faces turned pale, and their flesh and blood could not resist the shells!

The shelling stopped!

"Forward!" Deng Tianyan had experience and knew that it would take some time for the other party to load the cannon, so he immediately concentrated his manpower and ran forward!

After about three minutes, the shells approached again, and Deng Tianyan heard the first whistling sound and immediately ordered the troops: "Speed up!" ”

Everyone scrambled to run, and the shells fell behind them.

Then there were small-caliber shells to "meet" them, but there were not many, and there were very few kills and wounds to the Beigang soldiers.

Because the Beigang soldiers had already dispersed, they had undergone anti-artillery training, and the shells dispersed as soon as they came, and the shelling stopped and was concentrated immediately.

The city of Orange was not fully built, and there were not many cannons, only six small cannons, which were bombarded with solid shells, which did not play a role in stopping the advance of the army, and it was the Dutch who were fighting in formation outside the city to stop the advance of the North Harbor soldiers.

The reason why I say the Dutch is that there are Dutch defenders, shipwrights, and merchants.

The defenders of the city were duty-bound, and the crews of the two large ships were on the two large ships, and they had no warships and had to become infantrymen, while the merchants, though greedy for money, also knew that once the city fell, there would be nothing, so they rushed into battle.

They did not use the servant army, and there were still hundreds of servants in the city, and they did not dare to use them when they saw through the telescope that the servant army had surrendered in large numbers and had no combat effectiveness.

Nearly three hundred Dutchmen gathered together, waving the tricolor, and Paul Buck rode on horseback to lead them in the charge.

The North Harbor soldiers, on the other hand, numbered five hundred, with sword and shield men in front and musketeers in the back, were densely clustered and close to the Dutch.

Then the Dutch stopped, and they prepared to play the trick of lining up to be shot.

However, the Beigang soldiers did not intend to play with them, and they continued to move forward under the protection of their shields.

"Raise your gun, aim, shoot!"

Paul Barker's saber fell, and muskets roared!

After the smoke of gunpowder, the Beigang soldiers advanced steadily!

The black powder smoothbore gun fired iron bullets and lead projectiles and failed to penetrate the shield!

The shield held by the Beigang soldiers is actually the standard shield of the Ming army, that is, several lotus-shaped wooden square cards, and the Beigang soldiers have an extra layer of cowhide on them.

There are also dudes who know how to use it against bullets, and cover the back of the shield with a layer of cowhide.

Shoot the shield directly, you can't penetrate it!

Defeating the Beigang soldiers is to hit the shield that cannot be protected, such as the feet, but if it is not fatal or breaks the bones, the Beigang soldiers continue to advance.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, the Dutch fired three volleys, and the Beigang soldiers continued to fall, and in some places a gap was carved out by bullets!

"Onward! Keep moving! The officers of the battalions roared hoarsely.

Thirty meters away, it's the turn of the Northport musketeers!

They shot in unison, and in the first round of shooting, the Dutch fell more than a hundred people!

Now the Dutch went crazy, and fired another round of wild fire at the Beigang soldiers, but even if their bullets could penetrate the shield, the power was insufficient.

The Beigang soldiers returned the salute, and the Dutch fell nearly a hundred more!

Why is the Northport Soldier Musket so powerful?

It's not the role of dummy bullets yet!

It's just that the power of this kind of bullet is good, but in the test, it was found that more than 50 meters away, the hit rate is quite tragic, 60 meters away, ten shots in a row, may miss a shot!

Therefore, he shot only when he was 30 meters away, and when he was hit by the enemy, he immediately fell down.

So the Dutch collapsed!

They were so frightened that they threw away their guns and ran as fast as they came.

That Paul Buck took the lead and escaped the fastest!

Seeing that the enemy was defeated and retreated, the Beigang soldiers breathed a sigh of relief at this time, lined up to be shot, and they were also afraid!
