Chapter 429: The Han people of Nanyang shouted that the king had arrived
Faced with more and more native armies covering a large area like locusts, Heiwa had to retreat to the ship with the marines. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And these indigenous armies can't do anything with the Ming navy, which has steam-powered ships, and their small sampans are directly blown into sawdust by artillery as soon as they leave the shore.
Even these indigenous armies did not dare to get too close to the coastline at all, because the current artillery firing density of the Ming Dynasty could completely cover the short-distance coastline, forcing these indigenous armies to retreat.
And the indigenous army of Java did not have a large artillery battery on the shore, so it could not form any counterattack capability against the Ming fleet.
These indigenous armies can only look forward to sighing.
However, Heiwa is also very helpless, now there are more and more of these indigenous troops, and his first brigade is in a hurry this time, and he has not brought enough ammunition, so there is no way to directly go down to resist this more and more indigenous army.
However, these indigenous armies once again set their sights on the Han civilians in Mushuo Village who had just been given a chance to breathe.
Heiwa was very helpless, he really wanted to make another forced landing to save these Han civilians, but he was reluctant to let his marines lose their lives by saving these Han civilians in Java.
You must know that every Marine is selected by thousands of people, and they have all undergone dual training in the Daming Naval Academy and the Royal Military Academy, and have participated in several actual battles, and the loss of sacrificing one Marine is no less than the loss of ten cavalrymen.
And those Han civilians can only look at the Ming army on the sea, they are helpless at the moment, because they have been oppressed by the local aborigines all the year round, so that they are different from the people in China, forgetting what resistance is.
The people of the Ming Dynasty in China learned what it is to be uneven since Zhu Yuanzhang's time, and later there were Suzhou Yimin symbolized by the story of the tombstone of five people, and with the connivance of Zhu Youxiao, now it is challenging the monopoly of scholars in the academic and public opinion circles.
This is unimaginable to the Han people of Nanyang.
Therefore, if this stalemate continues, Heiwa will only be able to watch the Han civilians being slaughtered by these indigenous armies again.
Of course, according to the military regulations, Heiwa still has the right to make her own decisions in this situation, because before His Majesty's clear will is reached, the current Han Chinese civilians in Java are not considered to be the Ming people, and Heiwa can sit idly by and ignore these civilians from a military point of view without any punishment.
But seeing these countless indigenous troops showing hideous faces, holding the spears in their hands and approaching Mushuo Village step by step where Han civilians gathered, Heiwa finally gritted her teeth and slapped her palm on the railing: "Fight!" Instead of staying at sea with all his bags, it is better to go down and kill him a few times, Your Majesty is right, everyone is the same ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, you can't see death without help! ”
With that, Heiwa ordered the fleet to fire a salvo at the shore again, and at the same time, the marines landed again quickly, but this time they were met with bows and arrows from the sky as soon as they landed.
More than a dozen Marines were hit by arrows, but to Heiwa's astonishment and anger, these soldiers who were hit by arrows fell to the ground and died of foaming at the mouth not long after.
After a closer look, she found that the arrows of these indigenous armies were coated with poison, which made Heiwa angry, and shouted with her gun: "Kill me!" ”
The gunfire continued, causing the natives to retreat, but some of them continued to fire cold arrows in the bushes.
However, in this way, fortunately, the indigenous army that tried to slaughter the Han civilians in Mushuo Village was attracted again.
But there were so many of them that their Marines had turned all their guns into burning sticks and had to fight with bayonets in hand-to-hand combat.
However, although the Marines were strong in individual combat, the Tigers could not withstand the wolves, and fought a white-knuckle battle with 50,000 indigenous troops, and even the most heroic Marines suffered heavy casualties.
But at this time, Heiwa was already red-eyed, and he didn't have the heart to think about whether to lose too much to let his group of marines sacrifice too much, he just wanted to kill one of the natives when he saw them.
However, at this moment, cheers and shouts suddenly came from the area of Mushuo Village, only to hear someone shouting: "Master Wang is here, Master Wang is here!" ”
"The king is here, the king is here!"
Just like when Heiwa's First Brigade of the South China Sea Fleet arrived, the Han civilians at this time cheered again.
Some people spontaneously knocked on the wooden basin at home and ran to tell each other.
Heiwa also heard the piercing whistle at this time, and when she looked back, she saw that hundreds of warships with "Xu Da" as the flagship appeared, and these battleships were covered with dense Praetorian Guards.
"These Praetorian Guards, looking like this, are the main force of the imperial court has arrived, hahaha, the dirt mongrels of the dog day, now your death time has arrived!"
Heiwa couldn't help but get excited, and immediately ordered the marines in the headquarters to immediately occupy and push, and prepare to consolidate the coastal landing point and prepare to receive the land landing.
Seeing that the island was full of indigenous troops like grass and trees, Lu Xiangyu couldn't help but order: "Let the artillery battalion go ashore first, bombard him a few rounds, these guys haven't been bombarded by artillery at a glance, and they don't know how to disperse, take this opportunity to let them remember for a long time!" ”
The mountain artillery was carried ashore in small boats, while the Marines of the South China Sea Fleet temporarily served as escorts, guarding the coastline a few dozen feet wide along with the Marines of the 1st Brigade who had blocked the indigenous forces.
As soon as dozens of army mountain artillery pieces came ashore, the artillerymen immediately began to adjust their gun positions, and as soon as the flag of the artillery battalion commander was released, a series of parabolic shells roared towards the dense forest, and the entire land was blown up with grass, trees, and human flesh.
Some of the indigenous troops hiding behind the hillside were not spared.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng saw that the flying battalion that had already taken off to observe the wind direction signaled that the wind direction had reached the required wind direction, so he immediately ordered: "It is time to launch poison gas bombs to destroy the combat effectiveness of the army before it attacks!" ”
Suddenly, a puff of pale blue smoke began to fill the jungle, and some of the indigenous soldiers couldn't help coughing, and some couldn't help but fall to the ground and foam at the mouth.
But from beginning to end, the main force of the Fourth Army of the Ming Dynasty had not yet landed on the shore at all.
"Ashore, the cavalry battalion is responsible for sweeping the perimeter, the infantry battalion is in the center of the flowering, Your Majesty has a will, before its casualties account for a quarter of the total indigenous population of the country of Java, all the natives encountered will be exterminated, leaving not a single mouth alive! The rest are all seized in preparation for the development of the Java State Trade Zone in the future! ”
After Lu Xiangyu said, several infantry cavalry of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard Army came to the shore from the cabin of the South China Sea Fleet, and as soon as they arrived on the shore, they began to harvest their lives along the left and right flanks.
Few of the indigenous armies were able to rise up, and with the exception of a few who escaped, most were shot or hacked to death by the swords of the cavalry.
