Chapter 524: A Great Victory over Red Hair

Projectiles flew in with a screech, the sound of fluffy hitting armor, followed by the screams of the Dutch soldiers, many of whom struggled to the ground clutching their wounds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sophisticated iron armor of the Dutch did not protect the armor of the opponent's nearly 100 paces of fire, and the armor of the firearm projectiles fired at nearly 100 paces took the lives of dozens of Dutch people, and this was due to the large number of iron shields arranged in front of the Dutch people, otherwise the number of casualties would have increased several times.

The Dutch had no time to be surprised, they had to continue to quicken their pace, for it was a chore to walk briskly in armor in the hot southern summer, and to be threatened by the constant roar of the enemy's artillery and firecrackers, and to walk more than a mile at a brisk pace, and to hasten the pace, which was a terrible misery.

Fortunately, it only takes more than ten steps to reach the position of returning fire to the enemy.

Nearly seventy paces, all the Dutch soldiers stopped at the command, and even the disorganized sailors' squadron stopped at the same time.

They began to load muskets with gunpowder and pellets, and then, as in the Thirty Years' War, which was still raging in Europe, musketeers on both sides began to fire at each other, just like the platoon guns often seen in later film and television dramas.

At this moment, boom, boom, ten Ming people's marching cannons suddenly roared, and a large strand of iron came with a strange whistle, and the Dutch people who had just finished loading their muskets were shocked, what was the situation.

The sound of iron hitting the iron shield continued to sound, and the huge destructive force of the thumb-thick iron under the ****** fire knocked all the iron shields in the front row of the Dutch people away, revealing the shocked Dutch inside.

Howls followed, and many of the Dutch iron armor was shattered and deformed by the blows. The inrushing iron crushed all their entrails. These Dutch people let out an earth-shattering howl. Even startled the soldiers of the Broken Army dozens of steps away, these red-haired voices were really loud.

The entire front of the Dutch army was cut off an irregular layer, and the men on this layer either fell to the ground silently, or rolled and struggled on the ground, these bloody scenes almost broke the sailors' formation, and if it were not for the fact that Fandel had mixed in with some military surveillance, then these sailors would have fled in all directions.

Ocean sailors in this era had multiple professions, sailors, mercenaries, pirates, and regular soldiers. It depends on what the environment requires them to become.

If they were sailors on a normal voyage and saw a lone merchant ship on the vast sea, they immediately turned into pirates and were hired by noble lords, they were mercenaries, and when the country needed them, they could become regular armies recognized by the king and fight for the country.

The best game in this area was England, where many of their pirates immediately became warriors under the king's banner during the Great War, fighting the Spaniards and the French.

Therefore, the life of a sailor is relatively free, casual and happy. Let them fight to the death like stupid foot knights, of course they are reluctant.

But in the face of the sword and gun pressure of Fandel's cronies. They managed to keep it from collapsing, after all, in this high place and far away, Vanderbilt and Vanderel were godlike beings.

The entire Dutch army ended the confusion and began the first round of return fire, their muskets sounded almost at the same time as the second strike of the Ming, of course, the Ming's counterattack took the lead, after all, the Dutch were delayed by the bombardment of scattered bullets.

Bang bang, large puffs of smoke rose in front of the two sides, and the projectiles whistled and staggered, this time again the Dutch suffered a big loss.

The iron shield of the front protection was basically destroyed by the scattered bullets of the Ming people, and the iron armor on the Dutch people without protection could not stop the projectile from hitting a mere sixty paces, and the personnel of the platoon howled and fell to the ground.

And because of the blow of the artillery, the musketeers in their front row were empty, and the musketeers in the back could not form a salvo effect even if they were replenished, and the counterattack was somewhat sparse.

In front of the Ming people were all iron shields and wooden shields, and most of the projectiles were blocked by them, only the unlucky ones were hit by the projectiles that penetrated through the gaps and screamed to the ground, and the scene was extremely bloody.

With the will he had honed over the years, he tried his best to dispel the thought of possible defeat in his mind, and ordered the soldiers to move on, for it was absolutely impossible to retreat now, otherwise the battle would collapse, and it would be better to go forward and fight, or perhaps to die and survive.

The Dutch soldiers continued to charge forward, and at thirty paces the two sides bombarded each other with muskets, and of course the Dutch suffered a great loss, with no iron shield to protect them.

Fortunately, after paying more than a third of the casualties, they finally collided with the infantry of the Breaker Army.

The sound of ping-pong weapons colliding and the shouts of soldiers on both sides resounded in the field.

The soldiers of the Breakers quickly sensed the difference between these tall Dutch people, who were tall, had long arms, and were of extraordinary strength, and many of them wielded all-iron spears.

The spears struck the shields and spears of the Breakers, making it difficult for the Breakers to block.

Although their spears did not have the spear length of the Breaker Army, their height and arm length and strength made up for it, and they were on a par with the Korean soldiers opposite them.

A large number of soldiers in the front rows of both sides were stabbed and fell to the ground and struggled, and the scene was extremely bloody for a while, even the best iron armor had to be defeated in front of the tip of the spear with extremely strong armor-piercing ability.

After the tip of the spear broke through the armor, a large strand of blood and even fragments of internal organs were brought out, and in just a few dozen breaths, more than 200 people fell to the ground in various postures to fight for their lives, and the others were still desperately trying to make up for it and fight the enemy.

Fandel frantically encouraged the soldiers to attack the Ming army, but the Ming soldiers on the opposite side were also brave, and they would rather die than retreat, and go out to attack the Netherlands.

If Vander knew that it was not the Ming people on the other side at all, but the North Korean soldiers, he didn't know what to think.

As for the reason why the North Korean soldiers are so desperate, the buried silver of 200 silver dollars per person and 50 acres of pension fields have solved their worries, and this is a reward for the bereavement pension.

If they fled, their families would be expelled from Jeju Island, their acres would be confiscated, and they would be turned from wealthy families into dispossessed outcasts, which was a worse ending than death for these North Korean soldiers who had managed to live a good life.

At this time, the situation of the battle suddenly changed dramatically, the soldiers of the Broken Army on the right flank were facing the scattered sailor army, the two sides engaged in the battle, there was no protection, and half of the sailors were armed with short weapons, the Dutch sailors immediately suffered a big loss, and the pikemen of the Broken Army quickly harvested the lives of the Dutch people.

The length of the spear and the simplicity of the piercing made the sailors completely unable to parry, and they often had to pay more than ten casualties to fight for the casualties of a broken army, which was similar to being beaten and unable to fight back, even if an iron army was put in such a position, it would collapse.

Of course, there is still a big difference in the time of collapse, the sailors' originally not strong fighting spirit quickly collapsed under the fierce and inexplicable attack of the opponent, and they really did not have the Jiannu and the Ming army's warlords, so the remaining more than 300 sailors who could still run immediately turned around and ran in stride.

They are tall and long-legged, some of them are not yet armoured, and the soldiers of the Broken Army who are fully armored really can't pursue them for a while, but it doesn't matter, there are still dozens of people who don't collect at night, these nights are the only cavalry of the Broken Army, and it is extremely unrealistic to have a large number of cavalry troops to travel long distances, but here and now, it is enough for them to pursue the fleeing enemy.

The sailors fled, trapping the Dutch soldiers who were still fighting hard, their flanks completely exposed to the breezy soldiers.

You see, more than half of their soldiers have been killed or wounded on the road and in battles with the North Korean soldiers, and now less than 700 soldiers are still in battle.

At this point, the flanks collapsed, exposing their soft flanks, and the Breakers rushed in and burst into the Dutch army formation from the flanks.

At this time, the unprepared Dutch soldiers were assassinated all the way by the fierce and fearless soldiers of the Breakers, and the entire army began to collapse.

Some of the Dutch soldiers were still resisting, but most of the Dutch soldiers began to run backwards, and the Dutch army collapsed like an avalanche.

Van Del watched helplessly with his cross sword in his hand as the soldiers fled, he didn't try to stop him anymore, he knew that everything was useless, the opponent's combat power was far above them, and they were not unjustly defeated.

At this time, many of the soldiers of the Breaker Army broke through the Dutch line and rushed back, in fact, there was no need to fight behind, and the rest of the Dutch were on the way to escape.

A dozen saber and shield bearers surrounded Fandel and his five or six attendants, and his squires confronted the Breakers with their swords raised.

The saber and shield bearers simply surrounded them, and according to the rules they were to pursue the fleeing enemy, and if the enemy resisted in an organized manner, they were to wait for the pikemen and musketeers to crush their resistance.

Fandel watched as a large group of pikemen and some musketeers rushed towards him, he threw his crosssword on the ground, there was no point in resisting, he had done everything he could, he still wanted to return to the Netherlands alive, he didn't want to bury his bones in the Far East.

When his attendants saw him throw his weapon, they all laid it down.

On the back few miles of the road, dozens of cavalry of the Broken Army were slashing and killing with short guns, cavalry guns, and sabers in their hands, as long as there was resistance, it was bombarded by fire guns and cavalry, and then sabers were slashed and killed, as for those who did not resist, it was not okay to escape, only those who laid down their weapons left them alone.

The distance was littered with the corpses of the Dutch, and only a few dozen ran back to the castle in peace, while hundreds of others were either slashed by the cavalry or dropped their weapons in place. (To be continued.) )
