I believe that if God is willing to give Commander Baldell a new choice, then the most important thing he wants to do is to send cavalry to the hill to investigate carefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ?

The Dutch army, carried away by the wealth in front of them, roared to bypass the path leading up the hillside, when all the Dutch soldiers, including me, heard a strange noise on the hillside.

Soon, we were all amazed to see that on that seemingly inconspicuous hillside, more than thirty oddly shaped wooden machines were creaking up the hill and lined up.

What is this?

While I was hesitating, Captain Berland laughed out loud: "God, it seems that the Chinese are still living in the barbaric Middle Ages, and these antique trebuchets that should only exist in museums have been moved out by these yellow-skinned monkeys."

After the Ming army actually moved all the trebuchets out, the Dutch soldiers began to sneer at everyone.

"Warriors, I'm not mistaken, it seems that they are really a bunch of uncivilized monkeys, ready to throw stones at us!"

Commander-in-Chief Baldel's ridiculous words made all the Dutch soldiers laugh even more loudly.

It's just that when we were laughing, in the narrow place in front of the path, there was a sudden uproar, and hundreds of Ming soldiers holding iron shields lined up in a straight formation of big shields, completely blocking the path from the front.

On the side of these shield soldiers, hundreds of Ming army spearmen armed with 4-meter spears also ran in an uproar, and they stood behind the big shield, and the spears in their hands rested on the big shield, making a posture of holding on to the shield.

"Hehe, these Ming troops who lived in the era of cold weapons still want to block the advance of our army with this little force, it's just wishful thinking! Hmph, these stupid yellow-skinned monkeys who lack discipline and are so stupid, it seems that we should now give them a good taste of what their master's whip tastes like! ”

Seeing that Akito wanted to stop the Dutch army with artillery and fire guns and shields with trebuchets and spear shield infantry, Baudel had a look of extreme contempt.

He quickly gave the order to the front of the familiar servants and spearmen to retreat, and then let the artillery units behind continue to move forward, and within the range of the advance, they were ready to use artillery salvos to blast the Ming infantry blocking the road into pulp.

At this time, I heard Berland muttering quietly, "God, this is not a battle, but a slaughter." ”

It seems that the battle is no longer in doubt, and the Dutch army has won the battle.

At this moment, there was a slight tense sound on the top of the hillside, and the more than thirty trebuchets threw more than thirty tiny black dots, and those black dots, in the blazing sun, roared towards the familiar servants who were retreating quickly.

Although the black dot was getting bigger and clearer, all the Dutch soldiers, including me, did not care.

"What are the Ming people doing, do you want to try your luck and fight moles?"

The corners of Blander's mouth twitched, and he said with puzzlement and contempt.

However, when nearly twenty of the more than thirty black spots were thrown into the vicinity of the familiar servant army, the smiles on the faces of all the Dutch suddenly stiffened at this moment.

"Bang 。。。。。。"

In the dazzling flames and choking gunsmoke, the explosion sound that exceeded the limit of human ears sounded continuously, with the earth-shattering thunder thrown as the center, the air waves gushed out, fragments splashed, and a large area of the familiar servant army was blown apart, and blood rained everywhere. The air was filled with the disgusting smell of pungent whistle smoke mixed with human internal organs, which made every Dutch soldier who was shocked to the point that his ears were deaf and bleeding from his mouth and nose was extremely shocked.

At least more than 300 familiar soldiers were killed in an instant, and at least nearly 500 more were wounded, dragging their broken limbs, rolling on the ground and wailing.

A bloody large human intestine splattered from the air onto my face, and the great fear mixed with the intense nausea made me vomit on the spot.

How is this possible?!

Doesn't it mean that these Ming troops are still in the primitive era of throwing stones, how can they have such a powerful flowering bomb? This is simply a demonic weapon!

There were only more than a thousand people left in front, and the familiar servant army that was stunned by the bombing immediately collapsed as soon as they reacted.

They howled and wept bitterly, and shouted strange words, threw their swords and bows and arrows, and ran madly towards the rear, and the chaotic flow of fleeing people scattered and overturned in an instant the cannons that were about to be pushed forward.

"Bastard! Don't run, don't mess up, violators will be killed! The commander-in-chief's voice rang out in anger and panic behind the battle.

The spearmen roared and rushed forward, stabbing the fleeing spurter to death, while dozens of dragoon guards stepped forward and slashed with their swords, quickly beheading several of the natives who had fled the fastest.

Under the wanton slaughter of the Dutch soldiers, the fleeing native accord stopped the momentum of the retreat slightly, and more than 1,000 people regrouped.

"Rush over! Don't stop, go and completely crush the yellow-skinned monkey standing in front of you! As long as we cross the range of the enemy's trebuchet, our army will no longer be unstoppable! ”

Baudel's furious voice rang out loudly behind the formation.

The Dutch army, which had returned to normal, was like a wounded beast, and everyone shouted and rushed forward.

Among them, the familiar natives and spearmen took the lead together, and fiercely rushed towards the Ming army's spear and shield battle array not far ahead.

At this time, more than 30 flowering bombs were dropped, and more than a dozen or so roared in front of our army.

"Bang 。。。。。。"

A violent explosion immediately sounded, and then it was as if the whole world had lost its voice and fell silent.

Only the dazzling bright yellow of the explosive explosion has become the only color in this world. Only the choking smoke and smell of blood have become the only breath of this world.

Where the bomb exploded, blood and human stumps splattered everywhere. The wounded soldiers who were not dead were rolling on the ground and wailing, but my ears were so deaf that I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Although our army had already made preparations for the bombs dropped by the Ming army this time, and the personnel dispersed one after another, the scope of these bombs was too large, and more than 100 people in our army were killed and more than 200 were injured.

The spy who led the way was also torn apart by the Ming army's projectile. I think he will regret it extremely in hell, knowing that this time he will lead the way to hell and be a companion to the devil, I guess no matter how much money he gives, he will not do it.

The soldiers and spearmen who rushed to the front were the most severely wounded, and the remnants of the people already knew that if they didn't want to escape, the only way out now was to quickly crush all the Ming troops in front of them, so that the Dutch army could have a glimmer of life.

The familiar servants and a group of Dutch spearmen roared, and strode towards the Ming army's spear and shield battle array.

It's just that we completely underestimated the combat effectiveness of the enemy's forces.

From a distance, we firecrackers can clearly see that from the top of the slanted shields, the fierce and fierce three-edged steel spear heads stabbed out with a degree that was almost invisible to the naked eye, like a poisonous snake that had been patiently lurking, and finally seized the opportunity to spew out deadly venom.

Dozens of familiar natives and spearmen were killed instantly, and we were horrified to see that the sharp, vicious, three-edged steel spear head with deep blood grooves seemed to have eyes, and quickly pierced the heads, necks, or chests of the familiar servants and spearmen.

I saw with my own eyes that a spearman lieutenant had been pierced through the neck with a spear, and from his broken carotid artery, a gushing stream of blood rushed out, and he hung upside down on the spikes of the great shield like a frog pricked with a needle, convulsing and dying quickly.

At this time, more than a dozen flowering bombs were whistling in.

"Bang 。。。。。。"

The sound of explosions rang out violently, and my ears, which had just regained a little of my hearing, were immediately buzzed with blood, and I felt like my internal organs were almost spitting out of my mouth because I was so close to a flowering bomb. Just before I could squat on the ground and gasp for breath, the rain of blood and minced flesh that fell from the sky in all directions gave me a free bath all over my body.

This Ming army's blossom bomb attack killed our captain Bland.

Lying in a pool of blood, Berland's left arm was blown up and flew nowhere, and his real fatal wound was a sharp fragment that pierced deep into the back of his neck, and the tip of the fragment protruded from his throat, making Berland's death extremely terrifying.

This racist, who professed to be a true Dutchman, died in pain and disgrace at the hands of the yellow-skinned monkey he most despised.

"Withdraw, retreat, withdraw to the coast with all your might!"

In my ears, bleeding and severely ringing in my ears, I vaguely heard the almost desperate roar of Commander Baldell behind me. When I turned my head sluggishly, I saw that the more than one hundred and fifty dragoon guards had taken the lead in fleeing behind him.

At this point, with the commander taking the lead in fleeing, the Dutch army no longer had the will to fight and began to flee with all their might. We threw away swords, guns, cannons, armor, everything we could throw away, in the hope that we would be able to lighten our weight and escape faster.

And our humble wish was ruthlessly broken by those cunning and ferocious Ming troops.

About 300 light cavalry of the Ming army, with a sharp whistle in their mouths, surrounded the dragoons who fled first in a semi-arc.

The dragoon guards who fled for their lives were quickly strangled together with the light cavalry of the Ming army.

The dragoons, who were surrounded by an arc and had no will to fight, were soon at a disadvantage in front of the Ming army with high fighting spirits, and from time to time there were dragoons screaming and falling off their horses.

When several Ming light cavalry, with their glittering rifles, concentrated on the assault on Commander Boddell, who was guarded in the middle of the dragoons, our commander made a timely decision that seemed to me to be correct.

"I surrender! I give up! Please accept our surrender! ”

The commander dodged a flying cavalry spear in horror and immediately shouted loudly to the Ming troops on the opposite side.

As if afraid that his shouts would not be understood by the Ming army, a Ming man next to Baodel immediately repeated the commander's words aloud in Chinese.

The Ming cavalry stopped the attack.

At this time, a flag was waved on the hillside, and the flag was waved to agree to the commander's request for surrender.

At this point, this nightmarish battle is finally over.

Perhaps, the most fortunate thing for me now is that I have finally survived.

It's just that, what fate awaits me next?

What will the Ming people, who have been portrayed as cruel barbarians by our superiors, do to us Dutch captives?

Will they condemn us to hard labor as we did with the captives, or will they simply behead us and put us to death?

I do not know.

Bless your weak lambs, O God, and here your people Paul, prayed to you with sincerity.

Sergeant Paul, who was locked up in a large bamboo hut, stopped his quill in his hand, sighed, and closed the crumpled journal he had carried close to him.

Paul's concern is actually what Baldell, the commander of the Dutch Taiwan Dispatch Army, who had no choice but to surrender, was most worried about.

At the end of the battle, Baudel, along with a group of Dutch prisoners, crouched on the ground with his head down, without the slightest hint of commandery. He watched resentfully and helplessly as the Ming soldiers diligently cleaned up the battlefield, but he was very uneasy in his heart.

At this time, Li Xiao was riding a tall horse, but he couldn't hide a smile on his face.

He had just received a report from the Inspector General on the cleaning of the battlefield, and in this battle, including those who were seriously wounded and refractory, a total of 125 Dutch spearmen, 75 musketeers, 38 artillerymen, 26 dragoons, and 712 familiar servants were killed, and the rest were all prisoners, and none of them escaped.

In addition to the armor, horses, muskets, spears and other items captured in this battle, 22 light artillery pieces that were not damaged by the earth-shattering thunder and were still usable.

In this battle, the casualties of the Tigers were only 15 spearmen, 1o shields, and 1o Harrier light cavalry. More than two dozen people were slightly injured, which was a complete victory.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the fat as a pig, who was sitting on the ground with his head hung down like the other captives, was actually the Dutch commander in Taiwan, and Li Xiaofang knew that he had obtained such a rare big fish.

Li Xiao's eyes immediately flashed with excitement.

After taking the other captives down and holding them separately, Li Xiao ordered that Baudel be brought into his official hall.

Baodel, who was pushed into the door of the official hall with his hands tied, was ashamed and ashamed, but full of helplessness.

When he entered the door, Baodel saw a young and handsome general wearing a jasper crown and wearing the regular uniform of a Ming military attaché, sitting upright behind a long table, looking at his face, full of inexplicable smiles.

"I heard that you are the Dutch commander in Taiwan, Baudel?"

Li Xiao asked slowly, and the Han people next to him quickly translated the Chinese to him.

"Yes, the contemptible man is the commander of the Dutch Taiwan 6th Army. General, who are you? "Baudel tried to show the only remaining dignity of the Dutch commander of Taiwan in front of this young general of the Ming Kingdom.

"Oh, it turns out that this is the case, the contemptible person is Li Xiao, the chief soldier of the Ming Kingdom, come to think of it, your spy has already told you the name of this official." Li Xiao said with a smile.

After listening to the words of the Han people's translation, Baodel was not surprised, he did not expect that the supreme commander of the Ming people would be so young.

Baodel, who was tied with his hands, couldn't help but think of the big words that he was going to cut off Li Xiao's head that day, and he felt even more ashamed in his heart.

"Go, untie the commander's rope." Li Xiao smiled: "Commander Baodel is a noble and decent person, how can he be treated so roughly. “

The soldiers on the side listened to Li Xiao's order, couldn't help laughing, went over to untie the rope in Baodel's hand, and at the same time dragged a chair over to him, motioning for him to sit down and talk.

Seeing that the rope in his hand was untied by Li Xiao's men, and he was given the treatment of sitting down to talk, Baodel's face suddenly showed relief, and he said to Li Xiao anxiously: "General Li, I am very glad that you are a noble man who is willing to abide by the rules of the civilized world, and I can tell you that if you send me and those captured Dutch soldiers back, I can guarantee that you will receive an extremely large reward." ”

Seeing Li Xiao's face move slightly, Baodel hurriedly added: "General, in the name of the Dutch commander in Taiwan, I assure you that as long as you can guarantee the safety of our lives and send us back safely, then from now on, my Netherlands will be reconciled with the Ming Dynasty forever, and we Dutch people are willing to coexist with your army for a long time." ”

What Baodel didn't expect was that Li Xiao raised his head and laughed after listening to his words.

"General。。。。。。

Li Xiao stopped laughing, he stared at Baodel's panicked face, and said lightly; "Baodel, do you think that you are still qualified to negotiate any conditions with this official now?"

"General, what do you mean?。。。。。。"

"What I mean, that is, the officer finally caught the big fish of the commander, and the reward you said is really not eye-catching, and the officer plans to exchange you for something more valuable." Li Xiao looked at Baodel's fat and greasy face and smiled mysteriously. 8
