"Fire!"

On a high ground near the fort, Chen Lie, the commander of the first battalion of the artillery of the Ming Army, wearing a red battle robe, covered with a nickel steel polished plate cuirass, and wearing a helmet with a polished nickel steel pointed helmet, waved the willow leaf saber forged from spring steel in his hand and shouted loudly, the golden Pixiu military emblem in the middle of the helmet, the slightly upright round neck of the military uniform was painted with gold moire and the three gold stars representing the school officer shining.

Beside him, eighteen of the latest bronze field guns lined up, and a Ming soldier wearing a red battle robe and a cuirass like him stood next to the cannon.

Behind them, more soldiers in the same costume walked by with rifles with bayonets on their shoulders, the iron palms of the cowhide military boots under their feet stepped on the ground, making a dull sound, and the small war drums of the military musicians constantly beat the rhythm of the machinery, such as the spears of the forest, the bright armor, reflecting the cold light of steel, and the uniform pace stepped out of a solemn murderous aura.

Well, the field units of the Ming Army have arrived.

With Chen Lie's roar, eighteen twelve-pounder bronze cannons roared at the same time, and in the eruption of firelight, twelve flowering bullets cast of carbon steel roared and flew towards the Dutch battleship three miles away.

This is Yang Feng's own casting of the French M1857 field gun, that is, the most classic Napoleon in the Civil War, in order to pursue the speed of casting, he very simply found Lin Qian to OEM the mold, and also improved the bronze used in the casting gun according to the technical information that Lin Qian found for him, the actual performance is as good as the original, the maximum range can reach two kilometers, and the total weight is more than one ton. This is the main force of his future army's artillery in the short term, and the lighter six-pounder Napoleon cannon has also begun to equip the infantry battalion, plus the Minnie rifle, Yang Feng is ready to use a full set of weapons from the Civil War against Kang Mazi.

Of course, the elite trained by Yang Feng himself was different, and in the first round of shelling, a shell hit the Dutch battleship, and it quickly caused a fire. This sudden appearance of artillery immediately destroyed Moke's original plan to break through Shenjiamen and rendezvous with the Qing army's naval division west of Zhoushan.

"Your Excellency, General, we have to change our backup plan."

He said to Shi Wenbing.

The latter was not burned because his subordinates saved in time, but the cotton armor was burned out, and he had to change into a coat for him to take off.

"Ashore, land!"

Earl Shi immediately shouted.

Mock nodded with satisfaction, and then the signalmen waved flags to the ships, and the remaining ten Dutch warships on the sea immediately turned around and headed north, but at this moment, another battleship was hit by two shells in succession, one of which was hitting the helm tower and blew up the rudder, and the battleship that could not turn could only rush to the shore under the force of the wind.

Of course, it goes without saying how it ended, in fact, before it ran aground, the ship cleverly raised the white flag.

As soon as the Dutch battleship turned, there was an immediate cheer on the battery.

"No, they are not retreating, they are landing outside our range to the north, quickly inform the land battalions below to prepare to resist the enemy!"

Shao Tingcai ordered with a frown.

Lao Chen, who had just arrived with his army below, was also aware of this, and all the Ming troops, including Chen Lie's artillery, immediately went north to prepare to block the landing.

After staying away from the fire coverage of the fort, in order to avoid encountering the Ming army during the landing, the Dutch fleet went north to Luomen Harbor, completely throwing off the Ming army, and then the ships put down the boats and began to land, those who had been on the ship for several days, and had already endured to the limit of the Eight Banners The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners almost rushed out of the cabin with cheers, carrying broadswords, spears, arquebuses, bows and arrows, carrying guns and even small artillery, waiting to set foot on land.

"Chuan Benshuai ordered, take Dinghai for three days without sealing the knife!"

Shi Wenbing, who had recovered his state, said murderously with his waist knife, as if he had seen the scene of his grandfather Shi Tingzhu following Azig Tu Da at the same time, stepping on the dead corpses all over the city of Zhoushan. Similarly, after his order was issued, the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were depressed by the turbulence of the sea, immediately erupted in deafening cheers.

"Why are they so confident? There were only a thousand of them in total, so could they easily capture this island with this little one? ”

A Dutchman asked Mork, confused.

"It is said that they are the most elite army in this country, and their grandfathers conquered this country with more than 100,000 people, so as long as they have half of their grandfather's combat strength, these thousand people are enough to conquer this island, besides, what does this have to do with us, as long as they complete the landing, even if they all die next, we will fulfill the contract."

Mock said with a shrug.

Of course, Shi Wenbing would not know the content of their conversation, the third-class Boshi General had never thought that his Eight Banners elite soldiers would be defeated such a funny question, who were they? Eight Flags! As soon as they set foot on the land of Zhoushan, there was nothing to guess about the outcome of the battle, and he and his men never thought about how to defeat their enemies, and the most important question they were thinking about now was how to go to Zhoushan for their revelry.

"I'm going to ten Hannu women!"

An elite soldier of the Eight Banners lay on his stomach on the dinghy and waved his arms and shouted.

He didn't notice that countless dots of metallic cold light were flickering in the mountains and forests on the opposite coast.

The first battalion of the infantry of the first brigade of the Ming Army, which was marching all the way, was the first to arrive, and the battalion commander Feng Zhen immediately ordered to stop the advance after seeing the dinghy that was struggling to paddle on the coast, because the speed was slow, and the artillery battalion did not follow, that is to say, if he killed on the beach at this time, he would definitely have to face hundreds of cannons from the Dutch at sea.

In that case, let's just let them land, anyway, there is only one way for them to attack south after landing.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Zhen led his subordinates to organize a defense in the farmland north of Zhanmao, although theoretically it was the best choice to deploy in the southern mountains, but in order to minimize the losses caused by the Qing army, he still decided to fight a decisive battle in the plains, anyway, there were only nine ships, how many more could the Qing army land on. Feng Zhen, who had been training for several months, quickly began to arrange the defensive line according to Yang Dashuai's daily instructions, and he divided three of his four infantry posts into three phalanxes not far from each other in a line according to the standard of three-stage shooting, leaving the remaining one post as a reserve. The four six-pounder guns of the artillery team were erected on a small high ground in the rear, and the maximum firing range of this kind of artillery was more than three miles, which was basically the same as the red-coated cannon, but the shells were a little smaller, and more than 1,000 people in the whole battalion waited for the enemy to come to the door with their backs to Zhanmao, which had formed a small town.

At this time, the first batch of Eight Banners elite soldiers had set foot on Luomen Port, and then controlled this small fishing port, but the residents here had long run out, although this is a small fishing port, but it is a natural deep-water port, after measuring the water depth, a Dutch warship quickly approached the dock, and then began to unload the loaded materials, especially the biggest reliance of these Eight Banners elite soldiers.

Steed.

Shi Wenbing brought a horse team of more than 100 people this time, which is also his confident guarantee, he didn't think that Yang Feng's rabble could block the cavalry, because of good luck, these horses were loaded on two warships, and they were quickly put down in a sling bag after docking, and at this time the infantry had all completed the landing, as for the unloading of the remaining materials, it was not very important, and General Shi, who couldn't wait, quickly gathered his subordinates and went south to kill Benzhoushan with great momentum.

The two places were only a few miles apart, and when they turned a hill, they saw each other, and both sides couldn't help but be surprised when they saw their opponents.

Feng Zhen was surprised that the Qing army still had cavalry, and he immediately ordered to change the formation, and put a post as a reserve into the front line, and quickly formed the most classic hollow phalanx. And Shi Wenbing was surprised by the equipment of the Ming army, although he didn't know the details of these equipment, but an army that used muskets was still a little unsettling, especially the bright armor on these people was even more covetous, and compared with the Ming army, the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners wearing cotton armor seemed to be a bit dirty.

"What are you afraid of, it's all embroidered pillows, and the cavalry is full of straw bales!"

General Shi comforted himself in his heart.

However, he was still cautious, and first pushed out the six Weiyuan general cannons he carried, this kind of thing is actually a small mortar, the predecessor of the mortar, hundreds of catties are mounted on the gun truck, and it is rumored that the maximum angle high throw range can exceed two miles, but if you really want to hit so far, it can only depend on the will of heaven where the shells fall. It is said that it is also invented by the famous Dai Zi, and even the flowering bullet can be used, Kang Mazi used it when he fought Geldan before, basically at the same level as the European mortar cannon, at this time the level of firearms of the Qing army is really not bad, of course, this refers to the Eight Banners, the green camp does not even have many arquebuses.

Just as the Qing army began the tedious process of loading shells, Feng Zhen raised his saber in his hand and shouted: "Fire!" ”

The four light field guns beside him immediately roared, and four five-pound solid shells flew out with a roar, one of which was hitting in front of a Weiyuan general cannon, ploughed on the ground in horror, and then slammed into the artillery carriage, almost in the blink of an eye, the artillery carriage was turned into pieces, and the Qing troops who were busy around were beaten into a wail.

"Keep firing!"

Feng Zhen said with satisfaction.

Immediately after that, the cannon beside him roared again, and only a few minutes later, the Qing artillery could rest.

Shi Wenbing looked at this scene sadly and angrily, suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and roared very imposingly: "Cavalry, rush!" ”
