The Dutch soldiers sent south by Vanderbilt were worse than those on the north, and the few survivors of them were chilling nightmares until decades later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They marched quietly through the rolling hills and forests, and as they approached the high tower of the fort, they heard a low "rumbling" sound in the distance.
"Do you hear that? What is this sound? ”
"I've never heard anything like it, it doesn't look like a beast."
In their bewilderment, the Dutchmen had barely crossed a hill when they saw a monster that was roaring towards them.
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is this? ”
This steel monster was huge, and its heavy body was rampaging through the woods, and one after another thick trees were directly crushed to the ground by it, and it actually broke out of a path in the woods!
The Dutchmen were stunned by its brutal and brutal behavior, for there were such powerful brutes in the world!
"That's not right! This is the enemy's new weapon! You see it has a cannon barrel on it! ”
"It's a mobile battery!"
The Dutch had just come to their senses, and the long barrel at the front of the steel beast suddenly burst into flames.
"Boom!"
Only a loud bang was heard, and a shell blossomed in the midst of these dense Dutch soldiers.
In an instant, severed limbs and heads flew in all directions from the explosion, killing ten Dutchmen on the spot, and many more wounded.
"Mom! It was indeed the enemy's mobile battery! Run, wow! ”
These well-trained Dutchmen, at this moment, no longer cared about military orders and the honor of soldiers, threw the arquebus in their hands, and ran away.
"Da Da Da ......"
A dense rain of machine-gun bullets swept by, and the Dutch were laid to the ground like leeks in early spring, and life was quickly harvested.
"W-what kind of weapon is this?"
Such a dense rain of bullets, more intense than a single salvo of their entire fleet of arquebuses, when had these Dutchmen seen such a weapon!
At this moment, these Dutch soldiers only hated their father's and mother's short legs, and one by one they ran faster than the 100-meter champion, and they ran in the mountains and forests, scattering in all directions.
However, even if they were all champions of the 100-meter race, they were not as fast as this steel beast.
I saw that this giant beast was spitting barrage after barrage, and at the same time rushed towards the Dutch frantically.
The two nearest Dutch soldiers were thrown to the ground on the spot and then ran over them.
There was only a terrible sound, and the heads of the two Dutchmen were directly crushed, and their bodies were also crushed into pulp.
Someone next to him saw this terrifying scene, and even rolled his eyes in fright and fainted to the ground.
Not far behind the tank, Sun Tiezhu and others couldn't help but feel sick to their stomachs when they saw this bloody scene, the war was really cruel.
The tanks opened the road in front, and the soldiers cleaned up the mess in the rear, and when they saw that they were not dead, they made up two shots and sent them to the west, anyway, their home was in the west, and they went back to their hometown by the way.
There is no suspense in this battle, Sun Tiezhu and they were also deeply moved after seeing the strong combat power of the tank and combat vehicle, who can resist such a super weapon!
If Instructor Jack is right, they will have the opportunity to drive this steel behemoth in the future, and then they will charge into the enemy line in a chariot, how majestic it would be!
And how unfortunate must be the armies that are against them!
Vanderbilt felt that he was the most unlucky Dutchman at this time.
"What? In total, only fifty soldiers escaped from the northern route! All of the 150 people can't come back? The casualties were so devastating! ”
Vanderbilt didn't expect the enemy's artillery to be so accurate that it could hit any area on the ground, not just a conspicuous target.
In other words, if his soldiers were grouped somewhere outside the castle, they could be shelled immediately, which meant that he could no longer send muskets outside the castle.
They will have to nest in a castle in the dark.
Misfortune is not a single line, and bad news comes one after another.
"My lord, this time we encountered the enemy's terrible steel turret, a mobile turret that can run and scream!"
After listening to the detailed report of the soldiers on the South Road, even he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"A steel behemoth that can knock trees to the ground?"
"It can still fire?"
"It can also shoot dense projectiles?"
"Wherever it goes, like a wind sweeping away leaves, it can clear all enemies?"
"It's faster than a leopard?"
Vanderbilt was not convinced, and he questioned several of the soldiers who had escaped individually, and found that they were almost all of the same caliber, and that they were all terrified and their eyes full of fear.
That's when he was a little convinced.
"The enemy has this kind of steel mobile battery, how can this battle be fought!"
At this time, Vanderbilt wavered his confidence for the first time.
"It depends on the situation, I can't hold on to the arrival of reinforcements."
Vanderbilt was devastated by the devastation.
Then, another piece of bad news came.
"My lord, the entire wall south of our castle has been blown down!"
Vanderbilt felt a chill in his heart: "What did you say?" A whole wall, all down? ”
"Yes, my lord, the enemy's artillery batteries on high platforms are more powerful than the naval guns on the sea, and if they are allowed to bomb them any longer, I am afraid that we will not be able to keep up with the speed of repair."
Vanderbilt waved his hand: "You all go out first, I want to be quiet!" ”
Vanderbilt sat in the empty hall of the Doge's Palace, looking extremely lonely.
At this time, Lina came to Vanderbilt with soft steps like a kitten, brought him a cup of hot tea, and asked gently, "My lord, who is Jingjing?" ”
Vanderbilt smiled, and suddenly he felt like he had figured it out.
"Linna, what do you think is the best way out for us at the moment?"
Lina's big dark blue eyes looked at Vanderbilt: "My lord, you are not wrong, you have to blame, you can only blame the enemy for being too strong." ”
Vanderbilt smiled again, but this time it was a wry smile: "Yes, there is an army stronger than our Netherlands, I'm afraid we Netherlands will stop here." ”
He knew in his heart that his current opponents, the unknown pirates, would become a rising star, a rising star that would not shine as much as it did now, but that would shine brightly in the future.
Therefore, he was not wronged when he was defeated, he was wronged, and he happened to be a stumbling block at the feet of this new star.
As Governor-General, Vanderbilt had to take care of not only his own honor, but also the Dutch soldiers, and he could not let them die in vain.
"In that case, then, I decide, surrender!"
