Chapter 84: When Blood Debts Are Paid Blood
Eighty lives were worth nothing in the war, and the deaths of eighty invaders had no impact.
Of course, it is not like that, at least they used their blood to awaken the blood of more than 80 Chinese people, and at the same time forced them to cooperate with the republic.
"Who the hell are you, and what do you really want?" After everyone calmed down, someone took the lead in raising the most confusing question.
To say that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are all short-haired, and the soldiers of the republic are short-haired, especially the navy, otherwise it is easy to provoke lice and fleas if they have been adrift on the sea for too long, and it is not convenient to clean. But such short hair is still a little different from the traditional hairstyle of Chinese people, so it still makes people mind a little.
Not to mention, everyone knows that Da Ming is weak and incompetent. Taiwan was occupied by the Spaniards, Portuguese, and Dutch, and they had never been seen to send an army to the rescue.
It's not the people of the Ming Dynasty, so where do they come from?
"We are from the People's Republic of China, and our capital is in Chang'an, which is what you call Xi'an. Like you, we are all of Chinese and Miao descent. We are a new force established under natural and man-made disasters, but one thing is for sure, we will not abandon any of the Chinese people, even if you are in a foreign land, not to mention that you are now on the island of Taiwan, which is separated from Fujian by a bay. Liu Ruoqi, as the marshal of the navy, came out and said to everyone.
Well, it doesn't matter what forces the other party comes from. As long as you know that it is the Huaxia force, then you can do it.
Da Ming is so weak, let them suffer so much, even if they change the dynasty, it doesn't matter to them. And in history, it was the navy of the Ming Dynasty (Zheng Chenggong) who rescued them, so they had an attachment to the Ming Dynasty, but strictly speaking, they were grateful to Zheng Chenggong, not the Ming Dynasty.
"All right, fellow citizens. Put away your sadness, we still have many, many compatriots, waiting for us to come to the rescue, and we have more enemies, waiting for us to drive out of the island of Taiwan! Seeing their relieved looks, Liu Ruoqi immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"We are willing to help your army drive out the invaders!" Everyone exchanged their heads and then knelt down.
"I don't want you to help us fight, it's a soldier's duty to fight. You can help us transport the baggage, and help us lead the way, right? Liu Ruoqi shook his head, but he still stepped forward in person and helped them up.
"Well, there's really no problem...... Is it really all that is the case? "They are not afraid of death, but who doesn't want to live?
What really doesn't matter about life and death actually can't survive until now.
After some inquiry, I learned that they had landed in the Tainan area, and the administrative center of this place was in the city of Reshalan.
This is a fortress built by the ruler in order to consolidate his rule here, and I don't know how many Chinese people sacrificed. After repeated renovations and expansions, it has become larger and grander than many duke-level castles in the Middle Ages. If it is placed in the era of cold weapons, it is not easy to attack such an ancient castle.
It's a pity that times have changed, and the five rapid-fire cannons pulled down from the steam ship can make it spread its legs obediently like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Rest for three hours, eat or sleep, and start a general assault on Resharan City in three hours! When the time comes, the sea and land will cooperate with each other to take the stronghold of this place in one fell swoop! "As the supreme commander, Liu Ruoqi naturally has the right to decide how to deal with the Dutch.
His orders were also approved by other officers, so they were quickly carried out.
"I always feel that Dashuai, you went to Chang'an once, and it was a little different when you came back?" The first mate seemed to see something.
"Probably...... I'm not sure if I've changed. Liu Ruoqi smiled.
Sitting on the stool and enjoying the guidance of the memory guidance device, in fact, there are not ten minutes before and after, as if I closed my eyes and opened my eyes, and I seemed to dream something in a trance, but like all dreams, I woke up and completely forgot about it.
But in fact, did you really forget about it? No, it's buried deep in the depths of memory, in the subconscious.
Liu Ruoqi is gradually fusing with the guided memory little by little, and then reaches the state where the body and memory are consistent. When the time comes, he can be regarded as truly understanding the knowledge of guidance.
During the three-hour break, the Huotou Army naturally had no way to cook, so they could only simply use the ration of compressed dry food and water to deal with it.
Fortunately, the soldiers are not picky eaters, and they eat sweetly. As for the people who accompanied the army, they were in tears at the moment, and they hadn't eaten this kind of sweet food with thick fat for many days? Or rather, that feeling of fullness, how many days ago?
During the three-hour break, everyone had more or less adjusted.
With Liu Ruoqi's order to attack, the navy quickly returned to the ship, and the army began to advance towards the city of Reshalan.
On the side of the army, there were three civilians who led the soldiers to their destination; The rest of the people boarded the ship and accompanied the army, so that they could witness this historic moment!
After all, the navy was a little faster than the army, and in three quarters of an hour, it was on the outskirts of the city of Reshalam, and at least it was possible to see the target through the telescope.
It's a pity that the signal from the army side didn't come out, so I could only wait at a distance.
After another quarter of an hour, the long-lost flare finally rose into the air, which was the signal for the army to attack.
"Full speed ahead, target all the batteries in Resharan City, fire at me!" Liu Ruoqi gave the order.
The flotilla quickly sailed forward and fired at the warships that were about to go out in response to the harbor. The tasks of these shots were mainly carried out by thirty sailing ships.
As for the steamers, they fired at the first place, the batteries that had been found above the local castle. The only thing that can be assured is that the shells will not hit below the city walls. In this way, at least you can ensure that your own people will not be killed by mistake.
Not long after, the sound of shelling was also heard from the shore. Soon, the huge gate of Resharan City was directly blasted open.
"Sons, for the sake of my Chinese people, the time has come to pay for the blood debt! Rush with me! Sun Ping, the commander of the army reinforcement battalion, roared, took a pistol, and rushed directly into the doorway.
"Kill the devil!" The soldiers were infected by the pride of the officers, and rushed in with their weapons with the commanders.
Tonight is destined to be a bloody night for the enemy......
