Chapter 194: Iron-Blooded Zhu Yousong (1)

After getting Zhu Youxiao's will to allow him to lead his troops to seize the wooden bone bundle, Zhu Yousong took fifty warships and more than 3,000 soldiers to the wooden bone bundle, which was full of elite soldiers, without any merchants and craftsmen, Zhu Yousong understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, that is, to allow him to conquer this place by force, so he obtained enough arms and materials from Duanwang Zhu Changhao, and he didn't have to bring much food, mainly because weapons and ammunition were required to be sufficient, especially this guy likes artillery coverage, which is a very waste of ammunition.

After Zhu Yousong's fleet passed through the Portuguese trading posts on the east coast, they began to loot other ports along the way, and half of the proceeds were distributed to the soldiers to boost their morale, and this continued until they encountered a fierce enemy in Mugudu.

Now ruled by a prince of the Ottoman Empire, the original inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire who lived here were slaves, most of them Ottoman and local people, and some of them mixed with Persians, who were bloody and brutal and warlike by nature. When Zhu Yousong's fleet just approached the port, he encountered a large number of Ottoman soldiers, and seeing this fleet was like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, rushing up with great momentum, intending to rob.

Zhu Yousong, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not let them succeed, seeing that they did not have coastal batteries, Zhu Yousong did not let the guns on the warship fire, but only ordered the soldiers to shoot freely. Fifty warships lined up, the soldiers lay on the bow of the boat, the target of the hand-cranked machine gun was the small wooden boats that intended to get close to the warship, all those who entered within sixty zhang were all broken, and those who fell into the water were the soldiers' live targets, so that the Ming soldiers could practice marksmanship freely. Zhu Yousong sat in the watchtower of the flagship, shouting for the soldiers to compete with each other, ten bullets per person, and take turns to shoot, Zhu Yousong set the reward, today recorded the number of soldiers shot, after the battle is over, the credit will be calculated according to the number, who has the greatest credit, not only has a silver reward, but also the beauties captured after going ashore are selected in order of merit.

Zhu Yousong's reward is very encouraging, those who are a class of petty officers who are squad leaders can only be counters, and the shooting is done by those who are soldiers, not only those who are shooting are shouting about their achievements, but those soldiers who are waiting to shoot are also counting, but they are counting the bullets of those who are shooting soldiers, and all the guys who can't hit more than six targets with ten shots have footprints on their buttocks, and they grin when they are kicked, isn't this fucking delaying others to get rich? Don't be embarrassed here.

Under the not too fierce gunfire, there are not many Ottoman soldiers who died, and many of them were killed by one shot, you must know that these are veterans, and the marksmanship is fed with bullets, not to mention that the rifling of the original old-fashioned firing gun is not good, and now all copper-shelled bullets are used, and the rifling of the barrel is carved by machine tools, which is very standard.

There were too many Ottoman soldiers pouring up, and the rate of fire of the rifles was still a little slow, and seeing that they were a little closer to the warship, the soldiers who operated the hand-cranked machine guns couldn't help but shoot at the enemy who was a little farther away, and implemented the partition, but they were scolded by the riflemen, aren't you robbing my daughter-in-law? Don't shoot, just watch us hit the target, definitely won't let them come up, the target within 30 zhang is too easy to hit, basically no need to aim, you can feel eight or nine times out of ten.

In less than an hour, the sea of the port was full of the corpses of Ottoman soldiers, and there were no more soldiers who dared to rush forward. More than 20,000 corpses floated in the sea, attracting schools of nearby sharks to swim in search of food, and many of the wounded soldiers were eaten by sharks. At the same time, the first Ottoman offensive was thus a failure.

Seeing these Ottoman soldiers retreat like a tide, Zhu Yousong was overjoyed, and he was ready to order the soldiers to sail to the port, this small port is too small, and it must be landed in batches, but before the fleet started, more people poured out of the city, and after a cursory look, how could there be sixty or seventy thousand people, Zhu Yousong wondered in his heart, how could there be so many people in this place, take a closer look at these people from the telescope, oh my God, these are all with these sticks, wooden sticks, kitchen knives, and even carrying stones, It's all ordinary people or slaves, it's not a war, it's a death, can you run to the side of the ship with bullets? How do you get on the boat when you get here?

It seems that Zhu Yousong doesn't need to think about this matter for them, because at this time, the people who went into the water were carrying canoes, and Zhu Youxiao looked at this situation very difficult, because the canoe was not afraid of machine gun breaking, he was a piece of wood, even if it was broken, it didn't matter. For these people, the cannon will not play a role, the machine gun is still useful, although it can't break the canoe, but there is no problem in killing people, the mortar must cover the coast, otherwise these tens of thousands of people will rush up at once, these people will cut with knives, and they will tire three thousand soldiers into fools.

Zhu Yousong was right again this time, Prince Mahad of the wooden bones of the city was thinking of this idea, the tactics of the sea of people, all together, it is not that the Portuguese do not come here to colonize, it is Prince Mahad here who used such tactics last time to make them return, this time Prince Mahad is repeating the old trick, letting thirty or forty thousand slaves and ordinary people block the bullets in front, and he himself and more than 30,000 soldiers are waiting for the final blow on the shore behind, but what he didn't expect is that the firepower of the Ming army is much stronger than the Portuguese muskets, In the face of machine guns, any charge was futile.

At a distance of 70 zhang, the machine guns of the Ming army began to fire, and then they were aimed at the canoes, although these canoes were not a big threat, but after all, the speed was still relatively fast, and when it was close to the distance of 60 zhang, the soldiers who could find the firing position also began to shoot freely. Such a dense crowd doesn't need to aim at all, just shoot into the crowd and be able to hit, and now no one has the time to count their own credit, so it's better to fire a few more shots and solve the crisis in front of them.

When more than 30,000 people on the coast began to assemble and prepare to rush onto the wooden boat, Zhu Yousong, who was sitting in the watchtower, waved his hand, and more than 100 mortars on more than 50 ships began to bombard the shore. It can be fully covered at once, but Zhu Yousong only has 3,000 people, and can only use 100 mortars, after five rounds of mortar bombardment, there are basically not many 30,000 soldiers on the shore who can stand up, in addition to the killed, injured, and many of the rest are scared to death, where have these Ottoman soldiers seen such perverted artillery fire.

As soon as the soldiers on the coast were in chaos, the slaves and common people who went to the sea ran back like a swarm, and the soldiers behind were almost dead, and they couldn't stop these people who ran back, and the battle that had been fierce for half an hour ended again, and Prince Mahad also lost his life in the bombardment, and the whole city lost control.

Zhu Yousong didn't know that the city was in chaos, but it was a little late when he saw that it was getting late, and the soldiers were tired for a day, and when it came to the night, the vision was not clear, which hindered the power of the soldiers' firearms, and if it was not done well, it would cause losses, which was also the reason why the Ming army rarely fought at night, so Zhu Yousong ordered the soldiers to rest on the ship, and planned to capture the city tomorrow.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhu Yousong ordered the soldiers to get up and eat, and today they had to take down the wooden bones and bundles, and go to the city to sleep peacefully. The soldiers in the watchtower told Zhu Yousong that last night, the entire wooden bones were brightly lit overnight, and they fought all night, and they didn't know what the result was, and now there are still murderous sounds. There was no one near the port, it was empty, and all the people had gone to the city to fight, and now it can be said that they did not know what the situation was.

The situation was unclear, Zhu Yousong naturally did not dare to be careless, and asked the soldiers to disembark in batches, leaving 500 people to guard the warship, and the rest of the people lined up in an offensive formation and rushed towards Mugudu Shucheng. Maybe the people in the city saw the Ming soldiers attacking, maybe it was a coincidence, just when the Ming army was about to approach the city gate, a large group of camels rushed out of the city, why do you say a large group, because there is no team at all, it is a mess.
