Li Zhi gave an order, and seventy heavy guns loaded with shells were pushed to a relatively gentle slope, leaning against the mountain to cover the cannon body, and only aiming the muzzle of the cannon at the Dutch fortress under the mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The Info gunners quickly turned the spiral to adjust the muzzle of the gun, and aimed at Fort Geranza, two miles away, with a gun gauge, a gun ruler, and a moment gauge.

As soon as the Chinese army ordered the flag, seventy cannons opened fire in unison, spewing tongues of fire at the Dutch fortress.

The roar of seventy cannons was deafening, scaring the countless birds on the mountain.

Seventy flowering shells were fired at Fort Geranza. The Fort of Geranza was not small, and almost all the shells fell into the inner fort. After the shells collided and bounced inside the fort for a while, the fuse ignited the gunpowder in the shells, and the shells exploded one after another, exploding one spark after another in the fort.

Seventy shells sent out shotgun projectiles that flew in all directions, killing the arquebusiers who were hiding behind the fort walls. The Dutchman's fortress was blown to pieces, and I don't know how many people died.

The Dutch soldiers did not dare to hold on to the walls anymore and all hid in the buildings, only the artillerymen were still operating in the batteries.

Twenty-seven heavy guns of the Dutch counterattacked. The Dutch artillerymen aimed at the position where the fire had just risen from the high ground and lit the arquebuses of twenty-seven heavy guns. Twenty-seven shells were fired at high speed.

However, Li Zhi's artillery was a down-fire on the mountain. When firing downward, the cannon has a great advantage, because even if there is no artificial obstacle such as a turret, the cannon can be placed behind a platform that cannot be seen at the foot of the mountain, and only the muzzle of the cannon needs to be exposed. If you shoot a flower shell from the high ground, you can't even show the muzzle, you just need the artilleryman to show his head and aim.

The downward-firing artillery could easily observe the target at the foot of the mountain, while the up-fired artillery at the foot of the hill could not see where the artillery on the hill was at all.

Twenty-seven shells from the Dutch fired at the mountain, but they couldn't hit Li Zhi's cannon on the mountain at all, and they missed.

After firing a round, Li Zhi's gunners immediately cleared the chamber with a brush dipped in water and loaded the chamber with propellant. Then the gunner used a wooden spoon to solidify the gunpowder, put in the flowering projectile, and then licked it again. After completing the loading, the gun commander stands in front to observe the target under the mountain, aim, and adjust the pitch angle of the cannon. The gunners poured a small amount of gunpowder into the ignition at the tail end of the cannon as a firing charge, and then the gunners stood on either side, ready to fire.

Not long after the Dutchman's ineffective shot, Li Zhi's gunners had already finished loading. With a wave of the flag, the commander of the seventy cannons pulled the cannon rope and ignited the flintlock ignition device of the cannon. The black powder in the barrel of the cannon was ignited instantly, turning into flames and air, and fiercely pushing the flowering bullet out of the barrel. The flowering shells were like meteors, shooting towards the fort of twenty-seven heavy guns at the foot of the mountain.

In the midst of a rumbling explosion, at least two of the batteries were hit by flowering shells and exploded.

After a few rounds of this fire, the Dutch, having been disarmed with seven batteries, despaired. It won't be long before their heavy artillery will be wiped out. They finally gave up their strategy of holding the fortress to the death, gathered 1,400 soldiers, and attacked Li Zhi's troops on the high ground.

Although the Dutch knew that they were small in numbers, they wanted Li Zhi's troops to be vulnerable. Li Zhi's army can't be all elite soldiers, right? If the infantry sent by Li Zhi this time was as vulnerable as the ordinary Ming army, the 1,400 Dutch men could drive Li Zhi's troops into the sea.

The Dutch poured out of the gates of Fort Geranza. Half of them were arquebusiers, with an ammunition bag diagonally over them; Half are pikemen, and the only weapon is a spear.

They formed a little outside the fortress and attacked the high ground.

Seventy artillery pieces were aimed at them, firing seventy flowering shells. Twenty shells hit the advancing red-haired troops, cutting through more than twenty alleys of flesh and blood in the crowd, killing sixty or seventy Dutch soldiers.

However, the shells were designed for striking batteries and ships, and the fuses were set up relatively long and slow, giving the Dutch soldiers ample time to flee when they saw the bombs stopped. After the explosion of the flowering bomb, not many people were killed.

The Dutch soldiers trotted all the way, withstood four rounds of shelling, and after leaving behind two or three hundred corpses, finally rushed to the bottom of the high ground out of breath.

In fact, by this time, the morale of the Dutch had been crippled by the artillery on the high ground, and it was now the end of the crossbow. That is, Li Zhi's ferocity in refusing to accept the surrender of the Dutch at Chikan Fort just now frightened the Dutch soldiers, otherwise they would have collapsed and surrendered with a white flag.

On the high ground, Li Zhi's 3,000 riflemen waited for their work, loaded their bullets and stood in several rows, waiting for the Dutch soldiers to come out in a desperate way.

At a distance of three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, and fifty meters from the effective range of the Dutch arquebus, the riflemen on the hill began to shoot.

With a long horn sound, Li Zhi's first row of 1,000 soldiers fired at the red hairs one hundred and forty paces away. In the crisp sound of crackling gunfire, flames and smoke suddenly enveloped the entire high ground. A thousand bullets roared like a storm towards the charging Dutch soldiers.

The bullet pierced the jackets and uniforms of the Dutchmen and into the equally fragile flesh of the whites, killing these European soldiers in an instant, and ending them on the islands of the Far East.

Blood arrows erupted from the bullet-struck soldiers, spurting red blood everywhere.

A red-haired body that rushed in front was shot three times, fell backwards without saying a word, and lost his life. A shouting Dutch officer, still brandishing a saber, was hit in the nose by a bullet and fell to the ground screaming. He rolled on the ground with his wounds covered, and the blood spurting from his nose spilled all over the ground, and his strength became smaller and smaller...

It was a massacre, and with only one salvo, the Dutch had half of their soldiers down in front of the battle. Screams rang out everywhere, accompanied by the groans of those who had fallen to the ground, like the background music of the battle.

The Dutch were crushed in an instant, turned and fled in all directions, panicking.

But the salvo from the hill did not stop, the Dutch ran a few tens of meters, and the second row of riflemen began to shoot again. Another rain of bullets came at the Dutch, and the half of the Dutch who were still alive fell seventy percent more. The remaining three adults discarded their weapons and ran as hard as they could, finally escaping the range of the riflemen on the high ground before the third volley was fired.

However, these sailors can't run away, the island is so big, unless the Dutch rush into the sea, there is no way to escape in the next pursuit.

The main force of the Dutch was routed, and the city of Geranza had lost its ability to resist. Li Zhi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Enter Relansha City!" ”
