Chapter 231: Daming Thunder

The three of them looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Yuan Yuan was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out.

But at this moment, Qian Qianyi suddenly smiled kindly......

"Loyal and brave marquis, can you have a disease in your body?"

He stroked his beard and said.

"No, Hedong-kun is in good health!"

Yang Qing smiled and let go of Liu Ruye's hand and said.

"Thank you Zhongyong Hou, if it weren't for the magic doctor of Zhongyong Hou, the concubine would still be suspicious, I think it was a hot day and was invaded by the heat, and I had to bother Zhongyong Hou to prescribe a good medicine to relieve the heat!"

Liu said with a smile.

In the end, it has been tested for a long time, her acting skills are no worse than the water is too cold, of course, she knows what is happening, but she is an adult, and she will not be unhappy about this little thing, so everyone will be happy. After all, Marquis Zhongyong is a miracle doctor, although it depends on the mood of the person to diagnose and treat, but the various medicines sold in the pharmacy he opened are in short supply, and Liu Ru is such an identity can of course get his special treatment.

What the?

He was holding Liu Ruyi's hand just now?

Nonsense!

That's obviously diagnosing the pulse!

Mrs. Qian has been dizzy and headache recently, suspecting that she is sick, and took the opportunity to come to the door to ask Zhongyong Hou to diagnose and treat her!

It is said that he often diagnoses the pulse of the Queen Mother!

Could it be that he is also molesting the Queen Mother?

Anyway, everyone is an adult, and it's a laugh!

Keep drinking!

"Am I doing this for the tiger?"

After the guests and hosts finished happily, Yuan Yuan looked at the departing carriage, twisted Yang Qing's waist, and gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"No, you're anxious for justice and righteousness!"

Yang Qing said very seriously.

"Qian Qianyi is in her sixties, how can she satisfy a woman who is a tiger and wolf, you can imagine how much your good sister has suffered over the years, how many times she has tossed and turned in loneliness, you are distressed that she can't get sexual, so you want to help her, how can this be for the tiger? In order to help her, you are willing to share your man, what a noble sentiment! ”

He went on to say.

"Your brazenness is the only time I've ever seen it in my life!"

Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go, I'll reward you well when you go back!"

Yang Qing put his arm around her waist and turned around, saying that he would return to the gate of his Marquis Mansion with her......

Luermen, Taiwan.

"What's going on?"

Zheng Cai leaned on the mast and held a telescope, looking at the tail island of the north line in the south with a confused expression.

There, two armies were marching opposite each other in the salty grass of the sandbar.

From north to south was the 1st Marine Battalion.

The infantry of the four posts were three in front and one in the back, and the first three were in a horizontal formation, all of them with muskets on both sides of the spears in the middle, and all the infantry were in a neat formation, led by the officers and drummers in front of them. At the back of the horizontal formation, there was a sentry that also followed in a central formation with spears, because the ground was flat and the sand was at their feet, and the soldiers were quite neatly formed and looked quite imposing.

And their opponents ......

Their opponents are almost identical.

At this time, the Chikan Tower had not yet been repaired, it was originally built in 1655, and now there is only a town without defense, and the Dutch defense here is centered on the city of Geranza, and this castle was actually built on Dayuan Island, which is also a sandbar on the coast, or also called Dakun Body. Such a sandbar is arranged in a large straight line from south to north to protect the bay, and to the south from the large to the body of the seven kun and even the low tide can be connected as a whole, and the main deep-water channel is between the body of the big kun and the end of the northern line, which is also in the area of the fire coverage of the city of Geranza. It was unrealistic to attack with the firepower of the Ming fleet, and the largest eighteen-pounder cannon could not bombard the fortress, and Huang Binqing and Zheng Cai's choice was the same as Zheng Chenggong's, taking advantage of the tide to pass through the passage between the end of the northern line and the sandbar of Jiaxin Bay, that is, Luermen, and then enter the bay known as Taijiang.

Capture the easily conquerable Chikan first, and use Chikan as a base to capture the city of Relanza.

So the core became the sandbar at the end of the northern line.

There is a small fortress here.

When Zheng Chenggong attacked, this small fortress had been destroyed by the storm surge of the typhoon, but now Zheng Cai, as the commander of the front line, had to open this small fortress first, and his tactic was the bombardment of battleships and the landing of marines, which was also a standard coastal fortress attack tactic.

The Dutch also sent infantry to the rescue.

The two sides fought on land on the sandbar at the end of the northern line.

Originally, it was also here in history.

But that time it was Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man who fought the Dutch and repelled them, and this time it was the infantry of the Marine Corps. The tactics of the Marine Corps are the same as those of the Mountain Army, but they are not equipped with cavalry because of transportation restrictions, and more precisely, they are all Gu Erye's infantry lines.

As for the Dutch......

The Dutch are the second master of Gu's teacher.

At this time, the Dutch must have played the Morris phalanx.

Therefore, on the opposite side of the Ming army, there was also a line formation with spears in the center and muskets on both flanks, but the difference was that the Dutch formation was thicker, because the depth of the Ming army was six columns and the Dutch were ten. The strength of the two sides is almost the same, a battalion of the Ming army is more than 500 people, the Dutch actually have only one regiment, and a Morris phalanx regiment is also 500, but because of the difference in depth, they are actually a larger phalanx, and the Ming army seems to be thinner in comparison.

But neither side had accompanying artillery.

The Ming army's nine-pound cannons were too heavy to have a wharf, and the Dutch were also unable to transport their cannons to the end of the northern line in small boats, even if they were transported to the sandbar at the end of the northern line.

"It's so much fun!"

Zheng Cai said with emotion.

At this time, outside Luermen, twenty Ming cruisers and dozens of old battleships converted into troop carriers, all the sailors were also curiously watching this small battle. On their ships, too, cannon cannon roared and shelled at the Dutch fortress, a small fortress that could not withstand a storm.

Similarly, on the tail island of the northern line, the commander of the 1st Marine Brigade who had just landed, Ma Xin, who had originally recovered Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong, was also looking at the Dutch with interest.

"Stop!"

He raised his hand and shouted.

The flag bearer waved and the entire line stopped.

"Prepare for shelling!"

He shouted.

Well, the Ming army actually had artillery.

Their cannons were on the beach behind, and four twenty-pound mortars had been erected, and with his orders, these short and thick cannons like small buckets spewed flames, and four flowering shells flew out with smoke trails, but none of them hit the target, only one fell relatively close, and the exploding shrapnel knocked down two Dutch soldiers.

However, it caused a small mess for the Dutch.

Fortunately, they were also well-trained, and the Dutchmen in a neat formation continued to move forward.

Mortars continued to fire.

But still did not hit the target.

This kind of mortar itself does not have much accuracy, it was originally only used to bombard castles, and it is okay to bombard large group targets in field battles, but if you want to hit a ten-row line column, you can only fight for character, not to mention that this line column is still moving.

Fortunately, Ma Xin didn't count on them either.

All the front-line Marines were quickly checking their weapons, and at the same time twelve infantry stepped forward, lined up in front of the entire formation, and then raised their rifled flintlock pistols to aim at the Dutch. This thing was different, and the Dutchmen, who were already less than a hundred and fifty meters apart, fell twelve at once with the sound of their guns.

The latter was visibly flustered.

As the flags in front of them waved, all the Dutch soldiers picked up, and the Ming skirmishers did not hesitate to retreat, their bullets could not be loaded with a second round, and they squeezed past the arquebusiers and retreated to the back to reload.

The Dutch quickly came within fifty meters, and then they also stopped and began to raise the same arquebus......

They also didn't have flintlock pistols.

At this time, even European armies such as Britain could not popularize flintlock muskets, the Portuguese in Macao were also arquebuses, and the Dutch East India Company obviously did not match these mercenaries who guarded Taiwan with this, as for the flintlock pistols encountered by Zheng Chenggong when he recovered Taiwan, it was more than ten years later, and the number was very small.

But just as the Dutch raised their guns to aim, the Ming infantry began to move forward.

The Dutch opened fire first.

The Ming infantry began to fall.

"Steady, keep going!"

Ma Xin shouted with a knife.

A bullet whizzed past his ear.

The generals who took the lead brought stability to morale, and the soldiers who had been recruited from the Fujian mountain people and had been given the land of Huangzhuang continued to move forward in suppressed fear. The Dutch continued to shoot, and the speed was guaranteed by the rounds of ten rows, but the accuracy of the arquebus was such a weapon that it was difficult for them to hit the target, and although the Ming troops were constantly falling under their gunfire, there were not many of them.

"Don't mess around, those who escape from the battle will be punished all over the door!"

Ma Xin shouted.

A bullet swept across his arm, and blood immediately oozed out, but it was hard to see on the red uniform.

And the soldiers, who had been a little chaotic at first, continued to move forward in the fear of Zhu Manmen, after all, they were all enjoying a life in the Huangzhuang that seemed to them to be completely happy, even if it was enough to die on the battlefield to ensure such a life for their families.

The Chinese are best suited for line-up shot-and-shoot tactics.

Because the Chinese care most about their families, what they fear most is to curse the whole family, as long as they know that their death can be exchanged for the happiness of their families, most of them will bravely face death. This is fundamentally different from Westerners, of course, if they die like in the past and then their wives and children starve to death, then they must not be expected to have any courage. But these soldiers, who had just lived a good life in Huangzhuang and had undergone a year of rigorous training, knew that they would not be deducted from their pensions even if they died, and that their families could even be free of rent for five years as compensation, bravely faced the guns on the opposite side and continued to move forward.

Soon the distance was less than ten feet.

The Ming soldiers, who were less than one-tenth dead or wounded, began to change formations, the second platoon inserted into the first platoon and quickly knelt on the ground, the fourth platoon moved forward to make up for the third row, and at the same time occupied the second row forward, one leg bent and one leg raised the gun backwards, and the sixth platoon made up the fifth platoon to occupy the third row and raised the gun upright.

The upper, middle and lower floors are all aimed at the opposite Dutch.

"Fire!"

Ma Xin shouted.
