Chapter 427 Revenge

At the same time that the "Devil Puller" was killed by one blow, the soldiers who were lying in ambush in the fortifications opened fire in unison, and dense bullets rained down on the enemy position.

The Dutch soldiers, who were taking turns to put their guns at their guns, were shocked and immediately stunned, and immediately panicked and in disarray.

The courage they had just mustered was immediately completely replaced by extreme fear.

They had no idea how so many musketeers would suddenly appear in a place that had just been as silent as death.

What I didn't expect was that these Chinese had such powerful firepower - their guns were a little dull but they were extremely fast, and the bullets fired were so numerous and accurate that they didn't have time to dodge.

Because they were in the open field, the Dutch people did not even have a place to hide, and when they saw that the people in front of them had been shot one after another, they fell down, and some of the soldiers behind who had just finished their guns immediately threw away all the muskets in their hands, and turned and ran away with a shout.

Some of them had weak legs, staggered and fell to the ground before they could run a few steps, and simply lay on the ground with their heads in their hands and shivered......

However, Chen Ze didn't want to stop, a whistle sounded, and the ambush soldiers in the grove opened fire.

The order Chen Ze gave them was very simple - flank the front and back, and annihilate them with one drum!

A living red hair, not a good red hair!

Whether standing or kneeling, they all have to die!

The Dutch soldiers, who were in confusion, found themselves in their backs and became even more desperate......

Some of them were still desperately fleeing to the seashore, while others were being chased by bullets and running back, and for a while, more than 100 people who were still alive were surging around on the beach like headless flies, completely unaware of where their life was, and they fell into a desperate situation called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective.

For a while, the beach was splashed with dirt and rocks, and flesh and blood flew everywhere......

……

The two clippers, who had just transported the soldiers ashore, had remained on the shore to watch the battle, but when they saw this formation, they knew that they were in ambush, and they were stunned for a moment and did not know what to do.

At this time, someone in the woods on the shore was shooting in this direction, and the bullets flying from afar made a dull "poof" sound when they burrowed into the hull compartment, and they could be heard clearly.

Frightened, the captains of the two ships called out for the boat, turned the bow of the ship and ran.

It was not until they sailed a mile away that they crossed the ship, lowered the sails, lowered anchor, and began to fire their cannons to aid the battle.

However, the distance was a little far, and the battlefield on the shore was not large, and the two warring sides were only less than 100 meters apart, and the sailors did not dare to bombard the beach directly, so they had to shoot their cannons far into the woods......

On the other side of the island, Niu Ritian led four gunboats, and he had also heard the sound.

The sound of a bean-like gunfire suddenly rang out, Niu Ritian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is the red-haired reinforcements have arrived.

He made a quick decision, and he didn't even have time to recover the dinghy, so he took the lead in turning and galloping around the island to help.

The battleship with full sails in the wind was moving very fast, and before a stick of incense was reached, two Dutch gunboats with white smoke and continuous cannon fire appeared in Niu Ritian's field of vision.

"Rush up and sink them!"

Niu Ritian gritted his teeth and drank without hesitation.

Compared with his ship, the "Gray Dolphin", the two red-haired ships in front of him are not large, and they certainly look less than 500 tons.

This kind of ship, not only is there very little artillery on it, but most of them are only light guns, Niu Ritian felt that a crushing naval battle was finally caught up by him.

In the past, he was a small soldier in the Guangdong Naval Division of the Ming Army, and the warships he served on were very small, only more than 200 tons, and could only patrol the coast, scaring and scaring those sporadic pirates.

Just over two years ago, Hongmao's gunboats invaded the waters off the coast of Guangdong, specifically looking for Chinese merchant ships to rob, and his sailor fleet was also intercepted by Hongmao, and suffered a crushing defeat in a naval battle, almost all of which were wiped out.

His ship was also sunk, and he and many sailors fell into the water to escape, but were picked up by the red hair and taken to the port of Dagou, where they were driven to participate in the repair of the city and the dock.

He had only been forced to do hard labor for more than a year, and many of his captured comrades had already been tortured to death.

Later, somehow, along with some prisoners of war, he was taken to the "Unicorn" and sold as "piglets".

In desperation, they were fortunate to be rescued by their marquis at Temasek and were able to regain their lives......

Today, the opportunity for revenge has finally come.

Niu Ritian has been waiting for this day for a long, long time!

……

The sailors on the two Dutch clippers were scrambling to fire indiscriminately on the shore.

One of the captains was holding a telescope and watching the battle on the shore, his face blue and white.

On the beach, the musketeers were being called one by one, and they fell one by one at a rapid pace, and there were only a few people left alive......

In the footage, he can even clearly see the painful expression of the soldier when he is shot and falls to the ground.

"This is a completely one-sided massacre!"

The captain sighed in a trembling voice, and his hands holding the binoculars trembled slightly.

"Stop shelling,"

He suddenly ordered, "Lift the anchor and withdraw." ”

The dozen or so guns on the ship have already fired seven or eight rounds, and if they don't stop, there is a danger of exploding, and seeing that the shore is about to be wiped out, it is useless to continue fighting......

"Ship, big ship......"

At this moment, there was a cascade of exclamations in his ears.

Putting down the binoculars, several sailors on the deck were pointing in the direction of the open sea, looking at each other in horror.

He hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that there were three or four large gunboats, which had turned out from behind the island at some point, and were approaching at high speed, and they were not far away.

"Oh, selling cakes!"

He was taken aback, and then stomped his foot in remorse, eager to slap his two big mouths.

His own ship was only a reconnaissance ship, and there were not many sailors on board, and none of them, who were busy firing guns to help in the battle, discovered the approaching danger.

And he himself is even more careless, and his attention is all on the island.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hissed and shouted, "Quick! Raise the sails! Raise the sails! Come on! ”

However, it was already too late.

No matter how small the ship is, it takes time to lift the anchor and raise the sails, and compared with the Chinese gunboats, which are sailing with full sails downwind and rushing forward, they are obviously a step slower, and they simply have no time to get rid of it.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The Grey Dolphin approached first, and when it was still two hundred yards away, the ship's guns roared.

Behind them, the other three large and small gunboats also caught up, and the rows of black holes in the cannon doors were daunting......

"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

On each boat, there were about half of the sailors, and they didn't have their turn to go ashore, and the rifles in their hands couldn't wait to spray bullets.

"Ah...... Poof! Poof! ”

The Dutch sailors, who were exposed to the deck and frantically maneuvering their sails, were hit one after another, and one by one they fell into the water screaming......

Of these four gunboats, only the "Beagle," which has the smallest tonnage, is about the same size as its opponent, and the other three are all large gunboats of more than 1,000 tons, and they are much larger than their opponents in terms of speed and firepower.

Even without the help of the sailors' rifles, this small naval battle was no longer in suspense.
