The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent and win all battles.

The Art of War is cloudy: arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

The Dutch governor Caron did not know the details of the Zhoushan army at all, and still treated it as an ordinary Oriental indigenous army, but he did not know that the Zhoushan army's equipment and firepower had reached the most advanced level in the world, and the equipment and firepower of firearms were not much more than that of the most powerful army in Europe.

On the contrary, through the interrogation of the prisoners Duncan and others, Chen Yue had a very clear understanding of the strength of the Dutch on Dongfanjima, from the size of the army, the allocation of weapons, and the tactics common to the Dutch.

One side has a clear understanding of the other side and has designed a trap for a purpose, while the other side is ignorant of everything and arrogantly comes to attack Beigang with an army, and the outcome of the battle is not to be said.

When the Dutch army was at a loss for twenty meters from the first low wall, in the trench behind the low wall, the five hundred soldiers led by Xiao Bing were each holding a grenade, and the fuse of the grenade was "sparkling".

"Throw!" Xiao Bing roared angrily, stood up with a squatting body, rounded his arm and threw the grenade vigorously.

The other soldiers followed suit and threw out their grenades.

At a distance of twenty meters, even if the Zhoushan Army grenade is larger and heavier than that of later generations, it is still not a problem for most soldiers to throw such a distance.

"Hide!" The grenade was thrown, Xiao Bing didn't care to see the results of the battle, his body quickly squatted in the trench, holding his knees with both hands and his head against his knees, and the other soldiers also did the same and made the same action, because everyone knew that the next thing was when their own tiger squatting artillery and a group of rockets were firing, and only by hiding in the trench could they effectively avoid being accidentally injured by their own artillery.

When he saw the sudden appearance of many Ming soldiers behind the low wall not far away, Caron was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what kind of tactics the Ming army was doing, wasn't it an artillery attack? These Ming soldiers are not afraid of being injured by mistake?

However, before he could react, countless black dots were thrown by the Ming soldiers behind the low wall, and Caron couldn't help but look up, and saw that those things were round and black, and he didn't know what they were.

A Dutch soldier was hit in the head by a grenade and fell to the ground with a thud, and if it weren't for the helmet on his head, his brain would have been shattered.

"@#¥%" He got up and cursed angrily, and was about to kick the "stone" that had knocked him down, when he saw a white light rise, and with a violent explosion, a large amount of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and countless fragments flew out of the gunsmoke.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" ......

Just when Cuarón and most of the Dutch soldiers were confused, a series of explosions rang out one after another, and for a long time, the entire Dutch army position was enveloped in gunsmoke.

In the smoke of gunpowder, one after another terrible screams rang out, but they were muffled by the deafening explosions.

The violent explosion in the Dutch position was a signal for the Ming artillery attack.

With Chen Yue's order, the artillerymen lit the fuse of the tiger squat cannon, "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom......

More than 100 tiger squatting cannons were fired in turn, and the projectiles were pushed by the ignited gunpowder and flew out of the cannon chamber. Each Tiger Squat Cannon is loaded with more than 100 projectiles, and the total number of projectiles loaded with 100 Tiger Squat Cannons is tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of small projectiles formed an overwhelming barrage, like a swarm of wasps sweeping across the land, rushing towards the Dutch army shrouded in gunsmoke.

The Ming soldiers squatting in the trenches secretly raised their eyes and looked up, and could see countless projectiles flying quickly overhead with the flames.

The firing range of the tiger squat cannon reached 500 meters, and the distance from the Ming army's tiger squat artillery position to the Dutch army formation was seventy or eighty meters, such a short distance, the energy carried by the projectile was enough to penetrate several layers of thick armor, and the Dutch army basically did not wear armor except for the helmet on the head, because they were only part-time infantry, and more often they had to drive a ship, and the heavy armor was not convenient on the ship. And you don't need armor to fight the native armies of the East.

More than 100 tigers squatted and fired, followed by rockets such as "Flying Dragon" and "Swarm of Bees". The soldier in charge of the rocket operation was about to ignite the fuse, but was stopped by Chen Yue's order. Because Chen Yue's instinctive feeling was no longer necessary, after experiencing the bombardment of grenades and more than 100 tiger squatting cannons, there should be only a few left of the 800 Dutch army. Firearms such as the "Flying Divine Dragon" are expensive, costing dozens of taels of silver each, so there is no need to waste them.

"Beat the drum and order Xiao Bing to lead the army to attack!" Chen Yue ordered.

There are still 500 soldiers in Xiao Bing's department in the trenches, and it should be enough to deal with the remnants of the Dutch army who were attacked by the grenade tiger squatting artillery series.

"Brothers, follow me!" Hearing the sound of drums, Xiao Bing stood up, pulled out his waist knife and pointed forward, and the five hundred soldiers also stood up, throwing away the firearm in his hand and replacing it with a short knife and spear. By the time of the charge, the firearms were no longer useful.

Xiao Bing was the first to jump out of the trench, jump over the low wall, and rushed towards the Dutch army's battle formation, with the deputy general Li Daozi and others following closely behind him.

At this moment, the smoke of the grenade explosion had dissipated, and the Dutch army formation appeared in front of all the Ming troops.

Where there are still military formations, there are corpses scattered all over the place, and there are still living soldiers squirming and wailing in their mouths.

The blows from the grenades and tiger cannons were so fierce that there were not a single Dutch soldier left standing at the moment, and they were all in a sluggish state. Boasting of being a strong army in Europe, they have always looked down on the natives of the East, how could they have thought of being hit by such fierce artillery fire!

Fighting, where is there still fighting, when Xiao Bing led people to rush to the Dutch army formation, there was no one to resist, and the Dutch soldiers who were still alive looked at the Ming army rushing over like a devil, screaming and throwing away the fire gun in their hands and raising their hands.

"What a knife to kill chickens!" Chen Yue sighed secretly, a smile on his face. In advance, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Dutch army, so he made various strategies such as exhausting the enemy and luring the enemy to dig trenches. Although he knew that the Dutch were invincible in naval combat, their infantry tactics were so dull, and the battle was solved with just a round of grenades and a round of tiger squat cannon fire!

In this battle, the Ming army of 5,000 against the Dutch army of 800, the Ming army met the enemy with grenades and tiger squatting artillery, and the victory of the battle was easily obtained, and the Dutch army of 800 people were annihilated, and 70 were taken prisoner.

Chen Yue ordered people to escort the Dutch captives back to Beigang Town, and the people of Beigang were shocked when they saw this, and the Dutch, who were extremely powerful in their eyes, were easily destroyed, so they were afraid of Qi Guogong and the Zhoushan army.
