Section 890 The red-haired clay method goes into battle
In the evening of the same day, Hongmao Fan held a dinner at the Governor's Palace, and the Governor of Malacca, Alonso, cordially greeted the representatives of the officers and soldiers defending the city, especially rewarded him with a thousand silver dollars to the battle hero Captain Merlot, and promoted him to lieutenant colonel!
A thousand silver dollars are worth a lot, but the governor is glad in his heart.
Alonso issued a call: "Thank you Lieutenant Colonel Merlot for stepping up at a critical moment to fight the Chinese, he saved us, he is a hero, everyone learn from him!" ”
"If we take the city wall for the Chinese, we will be in trouble!" The Governor said this, and the people agreed.
Flattered, Lieutenant Colonel Merlot excitedly said that he would fight hard and never retreat!
The crowd applauded and cheered for him!
However, when toasting him, the red-haired fan said: "If you have injuries on your body, you can't drink!" ”
He's X, that's what Chinese medicine says!
In fact, the Hongmaofan used Chinese gold sore medicine, similar to the Hongmaofan wounded who he used traditional Chinese medicine to treat, and the survival rate was relatively high.
After the dinner, Lieutenant Colonel Melo made a proposal to Alonso, proposing:
1. According to the Chinese, make bombs;
2. Strengthen the protection of individual soldiers.
Alonso took his advice and let him go about it.
Lieutenant Colonel Merlot was quite efficient, he had a purpose, first found a warehouse of clay bottles, which were left after drinking the rum, put gunpowder into the bottle, sealed the cap, and installed the fuse, which was a simple bomb.
Explosives were readily available, and they did not have iron nails and steel balls like the Chinese, but it was difficult for them to find the iron ballast from the blacksmith shop in the city and process it, and smashed it into iron filings, and the large and small iron lumps were packed into bottles along with gunpowder.
The red-haired pan was processed overnight, and a lot of manpower was used to make bombs.
The manpower is mainly tame Malays, that is, local aborigines, and the red-haired fan regrets that there is no Chinese to help!
Those Malays are clumsy and inefficient.
Individual protection, first of all, helmets, they don't have them, so they use Chinese bamboo hats!
The bamboo hats commonly used by fishermen are large and wide, and they are bought in the city, and when they are, before the attack, the Chinese have withdrawn from overseas Chinese, and there are no Chinese in the city, but they are in a hurry, and many materials are not taken away, but they are just sealed.
What was taken away was property and valuable goods, such as ginseng in traditional Chinese medicine, deer antlers, etc., such as bamboo hats, which were not worth a few dollars, the Chinese shopkeepers naturally did not take them away, and stayed to close the store.
As for improving personal protection, Easy, just wear thicker clothes, wear three pieces if you don't achieve two, and wear four pieces if you are afraid that three pieces are not enough, wear thick clothes!
The black powder bomb was still not powerful enough, it was a large artillery battle, as long as it was far from the center of the explosion, the bamboo hat and thick clothing could withstand the flying iron nails and steel balls.
The soil law rushed to make it, and the red-haired fan went into battle in a nondescript manner.
A large group of red-haired fans wear Chinese-style hats, which is quite joyful.
It's hot, it's sweaty to wear, and it's hard to walk around, but as long as you can resist the bombs of the Chinese, sweating is better than bleeding.
The red-haired fans found that wearing thick clothes and pouring water on them would have a better effect on guarding against iron nails and steel balls, so they poured water on themselves to reduce the lethality of the Chinese.
They also made shields and found that the shield's defensive capabilities were leveraged.
Under the pressure of survival, the red-haired fans tied wood to their bodies without a teacher, protecting their chests and backs, although they were ugly, but their lives were more important.
The Chinese army attacked the city again, and the two sides fought each other.
Muskets VS muskets, the Chinese have more flintlock pistols (breech guns, and the marines raised by the mother are not equipped with expensive breech guns), and the red haired fan has fewer flintlock pistols and uses more arquebuses, but they are condescending, and the advantage of more flintlock pistols is offset.
The Chinese have 6-pounder marching guns, which are no problem to bully Shengfan, but it is a joke to hit the Hongmaofan city wall.
There are 12-pounder cannons on the walls of the red-haired fanguard, but it's not much, and it's better than nothing.
So everyone launched a warm grenade battle, like a CS thunder battle.
The bombs were overwhelming, and all the soldiers were dizzy!
The city was blown up and down, inside and outside the city, and the six-meter city wall was not high, and the red hair fan threw bombs on the inside of the city wall.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Smoking objects flew from each other to each other, and with a deafening explosion, puffs of smoke rose up and down the city walls.
Puffs of mushroom-like black smoke rose into the sky, and the filler that flew on all sides—iron sand, broken nails, and iron ballast—blew like a hurricane on the flesh and blood on the battlefield.
The flesh was blurred, the blood was dripping, and every explosion was so thrilling, and the soldiers who were at the center of the explosion were all blown up miserably in the dazzling flash.
"Resist, resist, resist!" The new lieutenant colonel Merlot shouted wildly from the city walls.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bomb exploded around him, and in the violent explosion, the burst of debris and gunsmoke immediately enveloped Merlot and the soldiers around him.
When the smoke subsided, Merlot staggered to his feet, his face was scorched black, he spat on his saliva, moved his body, hey, it's not a big deal!
"Haha! Ha ha! Lieutenant Colonel Merlot couldn't help but laugh, his black face showing snow-white teeth!
What was made by Tufa played a role, and many soldiers survived the explosion.
War is the best catalyst for human evolution, both sides are progressing, the Hongmao Fan who defended the city saw that the Chinese offensive was a little fierce, so he threw bombs to curb the attack of the Chinese, otherwise he only threw wood and stones, bricks to hit the Chinese, their marksmanship was accurate.
The Chinese, on the other hand, knew how to use muskets and bombs for fire suppression. Concentrated bombs tried to break through, and they were not crowded under the city.
The two sides fought well, and there were many Chinese, but the Hongmao Fan, who was defending the city, asked the Malays to help, carry ammunition and materials for them, and load them for them, which helped a lot.
After the musket is fired, it is immediately changed to another shot, and the firepower naturally increases.
The 100,000 Malays in the city are on the side of the red-haired fan!
Because the red hairs threatened them that once the Chinese seized the city of Malacca, they would deprive them of their religious beliefs, seize their land, and exile them as they did with other natives!
NO!
The Malays were seriously upset and helped the Red Hair Fan to fight, and some of the sturdy Malays directly participated in the battle, shooting and throwing things down, and they strongly supported the Red Hair Fan!
Their figure made the Chinese see clearly from the binoculars, and made the Chinese angry, yes, even if they didn't slaughter the city, the Malay slaves couldn't escape!
The cannon is roaring, the war is urgent, you come and go, this is the passionate years, the years of fighting!
The southeastern army attacked the forts with battleships and used marines to attack the city walls, and the guns continued to sound all day long, and the guns did not stop, and the fierce battle was urgent.
The city of Malacca is full of black smoke and hustle and bustle all day long.
