0774 Blow open the gates
Liu Pei glanced at these natives with disdain. These stupid people are an inferior race! A small profit stirs up greed and desire in their hearts. They didn't want to think about how many people would be left after a fight even if they stormed the castle?
As he spoke, the cannon on the castle wall fired! Everyone immediately looked up, and this time the cannonballs fired by the artillery on the city wall were solid cannonballs. However, the accuracy is limited, and the landing point is still far from the car. The shell jumped several times in a row, and before it could touch the car, it lost its strength and stopped on the ground.
Hearing the sound of cannons, both the cart and the powder cart began to accelerate. As long as they run far enough, they can hide in the dead corner of the artillery.

The five vehicles advanced some more distance, and the artillery was fired again. But this time it's more accurate! Both shells bounced off each and hit the cart hard! Fortunately, the carts were made of logs, and the caliber of the guns was too small, so the two large carts were hit and paused for a moment before continuing to move forward.
Under attack, the soldiers who pushed the cart and the powder cart used all their strength to push the cart forward! And the opponent's artillery is also constantly firing!
After a few more rounds of shelling, one of the wagons was finally broken up! Several soldiers in the back were wounded. The still alive soldier dragged the wounded soldier and fled back. The remaining three rangers continued to move forward together.
By this time, the vehicle had already entered the range of the smoothbore guns, and the Dutch soldiers began to aim and shoot! The dense lead bullets hit the wooden stake with a "crackling" sound, which was very infiltrating. But the boys, the soldiers, still gritted their teeth and pushed the vehicle desperately.
They were hugging their bodies to withstand the shelling, but they did not hear the sound of artillery. Everyone's hearts are overjoyed! It seems that it has entered the dead end of the artillery! The soldiers pushing the cart couldn't help but speed up their pace even more.
Seeing the vehicles filled with gunpowder approaching the city walls, the Dutch soldiers were also anxious! Artillery, smoothbore guns are more and more dense round by round! Others threw down the burnt timber and threw it to the ground before the gates. Hope to block the powder cart and prevent him from approaching the city gates.
But the soldiers of the cart have seen the success
The hope of the work, and the gunpowder car was tightly protected, and he was not afraid of that little bit of flames, so he approached the city gate with dense firepower. Finally, the gunpowder cart was finally put on top of the city gate!
The soldier on the cart lit the long fuse and fled to the cart next to him. They dragged the cart and ran desperately to the back! The heavy carts are about to be dragged by them and are about to fly!
The Dutch soldiers on the city wall were not willing to accept defeat, and even fetched several buckets of water and poured them from the city wall. But it was blocked by wooden planks and did not wet the fuse. Just when they were busy, they heard a loud "boom"! The powder cart exploded!
This explosion is different from ordinary explosions, and most of the power of this gunpowder explosion is applied to the front of the front of the car! Not to mention that the heavy steel gate was directly blown away, even the top gate car behind it was overturned to the ground! Even the castle shook a few times! At the same time, there is a thick smoke rising up and pointing straight into the sky!
Liu Pei always held a telescope to pay attention to the situation. Although Bao Dezhi swore to him that he had the power to concentrate the charge, Liu Pei had no bottom in his heart! Now he was ecstatic to see the gates of the city blown open! This not only means that Batavia is about to be conquered, but also means that he has another siege weapon in his hand!
This is Liu Pei saw that the left door leaf on the left side of the castle gate was half gone, and the right door leaf fell to the ground, and he could already see the scene inside the castle. Liu Pei immediately shouted loudly: "Let them charge!" Let them charge! ”
The interpreters immediately shouted loudly, and the soldiers also stabbed with the tips of their knives, punching and kicking the natives to drive and force them forward. Many natives on both sides were forced, hesitating and slowly moving forward. But the huge team of natives in the middle barely moved.
A soldier on the flank, inspired by the interpreter's last drive away from the native, kicked one of the natives and staggered two steps forward. The people around him subconsciously ran along. Then more and more natives began to run forward.
The soldiers, who had been prepared, immediately brought out dozens of long ladders, grabbed a few random natives, forced them to pick them up, and then pushed them forward.
There are more and more natives running, and the crowd is running faster and faster! At the beginning
Waiting for the spring rain is dotted, and then there is a pouring rain, and finally there is a monstrous wave! And the natives actually let out a heart-rending cry after they ran!
The Dutch soldiers on the city walls were terrified when they saw the crowd! Don't look at them, they don't know what happened to the city gate, but since they see that the crowd has rushed over, it must be that the city gate is open! So they kept shooting downwards to try to stop the crowd!
With the roar of cannons, the dense gunfire of smoothbore guns, and the crowd of natives continued to splash a little bit of blood and a large area of blood! I don't know how many natives were knocked to the ground, and then they were overwhelmed by the crowd! Countless women, children and children have been trampled to death because they ran slowly or tripped over! But the efforts of the Dutch soldiers could only reduce the surging crowds, but they could not stop them. After all, there are too many natives!
Originally, Liu Pei had captured nearly 10,000 natives and picked out more than 1,000 young women, and the rest were then sent by him to fill the moat. In the process, more than 2,000 natives died. There are still more than 5,000 people who charge together, where is it so easy to block?
Soon the natives rushed into the city gate. But the natives were a slow step in their charge, giving the castle people time to gather their men. When the Turk striker rushed into the doorway, a large number of Dutch soldiers were already gathering in front of them!
When the first native had just passed through the gate hole and entered the castle, he was immediately knocked to the ground by several whistling buckshots! Even the natives who followed him did not escape this result! Because the officer in command was quite wise, he divided the assembled soldiers into several squads, and fired in non-stop. Effectively blocked the attack of the natives!
In a matter of moments, a dense burst of lead bullets shot a large number of natives in front of the city gate, accumulating a small mountain of corpses! The dark skin of the native people with the red blood is very dazzling!
Unfortunately, the Dutch soldiers were using smoothbore guns after all. If they had used modern machine guns, they might have been able to plug the gates! And the loading time of the smoothbore gun is really too long! As they reloaded, the rampaging natives approached them!
