Chapter 523: Firearms Fight

The Dutch soldiers all wore reinforced busts, polished Gothic armor that shone in the sunlight, as if the ground was covered with bronze mirrors, and the fields were dazzled by the glitter of armor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The so-called half-body armor is the upper body is all Gothic armor, including helmets and plate armor, which is well-made, polished and bright, and cinched at the waist and tied up, which has little involvement in the movements of the human body.

The lower body is protected in front, the upper and lower legs are protected in front, and the back is generally not protected, and the armor in front is tied behind the legs with ropes.

It's just that this outfit is expensive, and of course, now that the Dutch colonize various places with huge profits, these armors are fully built.

Fifteen hundred Dutch soldiers marched forward in a neat line in shining armor, but it was also majestic, and it was this formation that often shocked the natives' miscellaneous soldiers, and they were terrified in their hearts, and they were immediately defeated as soon as they engaged.

The phalanx of sailors around them was nothing else at all, they barely formed a phalanx, a small number of them were in armor, most of them were short sailors, and there was little protection.

Unlike the regular Dutch soldiers, who carried muskets and spears and iron shields, the sailors' phalanx had a variety of weapons, such as small iron shields, short firearms, sailor axes, and cross swords.

Li Lu didn't care about the so-called majesty of the Dutch people, and no matter how majestic he was, he could still have the combat power of Jiannu's iron cavalry, and no one was afraid of the infantry army.

But not afraid of the enemy, can not ignore the enemy, Zhao repeatedly emphasized the battle of Tieshan, the reason why Jiannu suffered a big loss, more than 10,000 people were defeated by thousands of broken army. It is caused by the knowledge of the clothes of the broken army.

And the Xiyi people mentioned by Lord Zhao are also good at firearms. I am also good at step formation. He must not be taken lightly, and he is always reminded not to be careless.

Li Lu carefully examined the Dutch army formation marching on foot with a telescope, and the neat military formation on the right and the loose infantry formation on the left were clearly distinguished, so that Li Lu immediately made a choice, he wanted to attack the loose infantry with his soldiers, and strive to break the enemy formation in one fell swoop, and use Korean soldiers to entangle the main formation of the Dutch.

Li Lu searched carefully with a telescope, and suddenly appeared in the lens of three small artillery pieces, and some Dutch soldiers were pushing the gun cart forward with their hands. Li Lu's heart sank, and sure enough, as the adults said, the Xiyi people are really good at firearms.

This was the first time that Li Lu had encountered an enemy with the same marching cannon as the Broken Army, even if the opponent's artillery was only a six-pounder cannon, but it was also a great threat to the dense formation of the Broken Army.

Li Lu immediately ordered the commanders to start the anti-artillery attack formation, this formation was often practiced as a broken army, and the soldiers were familiar with it, but they never actually used it, because it was not used at all.

You can't expect those rough billets of Jiannu to be high-grade things like military artillery.

But since these Dutch people on the other side have them, they must be prepared to defend themselves. Of course, Li Lu also prepared ten six-pounder guns and nine-pounder marching guns, and everyone just bombarded each other.

At this time, the whole team of the Broken Army was completed. According to the requirements of Li Lu and the thousand generals, the soldiers lined up in a sparse formation six or seven steps away from each person and began to move forward.

At the same time, ten artillery wagons were also pushed forward by the gunners of the Broken Army.

Li Lu observed the opponent's situation, Fandel also observed the opponent's situation, and saw the Ming people's soldiers approaching in a sparse formation, Fandel was stunned at first, and then nodded approvingly, indeed the enemy's formation can effectively prevent artillery bombardment, it seems that the enemy general is also quite smart, and immediately changed the formation when he saw the marching artillery.

When Fandel saw the ten marching cannons slowly moving forward on Mingren's side, he trembled, and his eyes almost didn't bulge, damn, how could it be.

In the Far East, only the Dutch and Spanish have marching cannons, although the Ming people can't be called natives, but they are stronger than the natives, how can they put thousands of pounds of cannons on the gun carriage.

Van Del had the urge to return to the army immediately to avoid the battle, after all, if the opponent's gunners were as skilled as his gunners, he would be in big trouble.

Three guns against ten guns, needless to say, they must have the upper hand, either being avoided from the battle, or speeding up to quickly approach the enemy, and then crush the enemy in one fell swoop.

Fandel thought about it, and thought that going back was just waiting for the walls to be blown open, and it was better to give it a go.

It seems that the only way to take over the formation is to take over as soon as possible, and the original artillery to disperse the Ming formation, and then break into the pursuit of the plan is useless.

Van Del immediately called several army leaders and shouted to them a few times, and the situation was there, and as soon as the army leaders heard Fan Dael's words, they understood that as long as they did not want to delay, they had to quickly meet the enemy, and several of them nodded their heads and received orders.

The soldiers of the two sides approached more than a mile, and the Ming Dynasty suddenly stopped, and Fandel thought that the Ming people and the Ming people were going to line up and then bombard them with artillery.

What made Vander cry and laugh was that this was originally his plan, but now Akito used this trick against him.

Fandel ordered the left flank to be vacated, and the artillery was here to shell the Mingren, while the soldiers continued to move forward, and now it was he who most wanted to take over quickly, and only a few cannons changed the offensive and defensive situation.

Boom, boom, the Ming artillery began to roar, five six-pounder guns and five nine-pounder cannons spewed fire and smoke, and in the whistle, ten projectiles rushed into the Dutch army formation more than a mile away.

Six of the ten projectiles crashed into the formation, and the two iron men in full armor were hit by the cannonballs and began to go in a big loop, and their bodies flew into the air with a miserable howl, splattering a large stream of blood.

Several blood alleys appeared in the Dutch formation, especially the two blood alleys that appeared in the sailors' formation, and the constant howls of the dead and wounded sailors almost made the sailors run away, after all, they were a rabble.

Boom, three Dutch guns also began to bombard, and three projectiles rushed straight through.

Two of the projectiles rushed into the formation of the Broken Army, and the two projectiles that landed between the North Korean Army and the soldiers killed and wounded four North Korean soldiers and Ming soldiers, and the shouts of the wounded also appeared in the Broken Army formation.

Of course, the difference in numbers can only be at the expense of the Dutch.

At this time, the Dutch people did not need to be reminded by the military leaders, they consciously quickened their pace, as long as they were not fools, they knew how to engage as soon as possible to get rid of the shadow of the shelling.

Boom, boom, boom, the two sides began to bombard each other again, of course there were casualties on both sides, but it was the Dutch who suffered more casualties.

The two sides approached three hundred paces, and they could already clearly hear the collision of the armor in the opposing army's formation.

Boom, boom, the footsteps of both sides roar in each other's ear drums, putting pressure on each other.

After another bombardment, the two sides approached more than 100 paces, and at this time, the appearance of the soldiers on both sides was clearly displayed in front of each other.

In the eyes of Li Lu and the other Ming people, the soldiers on the other side were extremely tall, half a head taller than them, with strange eyes and noses, blue, brown and even green eyes, and red, golden yellow, black and even almost white hair.

These eyes, hair, protruding cheekbones, and slightly sunken cheeks seem to the Akito to have a fight with evil spirits.

The Dutch people have seen a lot of Ming people, not to mention more, they also govern tens of thousands of Ming people in the local area, all of them are in Anping Zuo Tuntian, they are short and humble, and they are extremely obedient to the Dutch people.

It is much better with the savage and dirty native natives, who are extremely obedient to the orders of the Dutch, but the local natives are extremely brutal, and sometimes dare to sneak up on the lone Dutch.

In the words of their leader, the red-haired people and the Han people here are all here to rob their land, why do they still have to pay taxes to the red-haired people on their land, there is no reason for this.

For this reason, the Dutch sent brigades of hundreds of people several times to attack several nearby tribes that resisted taxes and did not pay taxes, burned and looted, and used bloody facts to tell these barbarians why they should pay taxes, that is, when you are not able to protect your land, you have to pay tribute to the strong to protect yourself.

But the obedient Ming people had almost no problem, and although they sometimes complained about the heavy taxes, they still obediently paid the taxes.

But the Ming people in front of them were decidedly different, they were tall and strong, their eyes were sharp, and they stood solemnly with weapons in their hands, and they were not shocked by the imminent approach of more than a thousand iron men.

At this time, the horn of the Ming people suddenly sounded rapidly, and the Ming soldiers behind hurriedly moved forward, and a tight large array was re-erected in dozens of breaths.

Tiger, in the chanting of all the soldiers, a large horizontal and vertical formation appeared in front of the eyes of the Dutch people, neatly as if measured with a ruler.

Seeing this, Fandel's eyes narrowed, and he pushed the level of this Mingren's difficulty to another level.

In particular, the dense iron shields and wooden shields erected in front of the Ming people were obviously to protect against the bombardment of the firearms, and in this battle, he felt that the Ming people had a very clear understanding of their Dutch military formation advantage, and fired artillery and fire guns, on the contrary, although he was not ignorant of this Ming people, but the main understanding was in the naval division, and the infantry army was really ignorant.

From now on, it seems that the other party is a mixture of muskets and pikemen, just like them.

The opponent's elite is not inferior to Vander's command at all, but the number is relatively large, and it is difficult to say how this battle will be.

When the two sides approached within a hundred paces, the firecracker in front of the opposite Akito suddenly raised the firecracker.

The Dutch people didn't care, but they were just preparing in advance, they didn't think that the range of the Ming people's muskets could be a hundred paces, you must know that the range of their arquebuses was only more than seventy steps, could it be that the range of the Ming people's firearms could surpass theirs, it was a joke.

Of course, sometimes the joke is also true, and the trumpets in the Mingren formation sound in unison.

Bang bang bang, the Ming people's fire gun was actually fired, and a large stream of smoke completely blocked the front of the Ming army's formation. (To be continued.) )
