The early morning mist soaked the short clothes made of cotton, and everyone stepped on the slightly cool dew and entered the battlefield and formed a formation.

On the other side of the battle, the Xingang people of the Siraya tribe did not realize that they had become prey, but only looked at this strange "Madouren" with frightened and hostile eyes.

"Forward!"

After Wang Jiakang changed into local clothes, he felt a little unaccustomed, and even felt a little uncomfortable when carrying a sword on his back.

He gave the order, and as the drums sounded, the phalanx slowly pressed forward.

Because the deployment surface is insufficient, the phalanx at this time is like a rectangular erected, and the frontal firepower is smaller than the firepower of the two wings, which can also effectively prevent the Xingang people from attacking the opposing formation from the flanks.

"Aim! Shoot ~ hit! ”

The phalanx soon met resistance, and a group of Newport warriors armed with short spears and bamboo spears rushed out, uttering a battle cry from ancient times, and launched an attack on the advance battalion of the First Army.

A uniform sound of guns rang out, and the soldiers of the advance unit sank into the white smoke, and the aborigines fell in pieces before their eyes. The survivors who escaped turned and fled, but a second volley awaited them.

"Advance."

Wang Jiakang found it extremely boring.

These natives had no iron armor, and the range of their bows and arrows was within thirty paces, and the Ming soldiers could easily shoot at a distance of fifty paces, harvesting the scattered lines on the opposite side in pieces.

This is not war, this is slaughter.

Wang Jiakang looked at the village getting closer and closer, the morning smoke was gradually rising from the thick fog, and some early children were already running outside, making high-pitched and high-pitched children's voices.

The Madou people who followed behind the Ming army became excited, shouting and shouting war cries, eager to rush to the front of the Ming army. They put on the rattan armor of the Ming Dynasty Equipment Inspection Division, as well as the standard long knives forged by the assembly line. The combat effectiveness has increased greatly, and he especially hopes to use the enemy's head to test the sharpness of the long knife.

Wang Jiakang once again saw a group of people without formation and command rushing towards the phalanx shouting unintelligible slogans. The junior officers, who strictly followed the rules of conduct, gave the order to shoot, and it was still two volleys that broke the charge, and did not even let them rush into the range of the bow and arrow.

"Tiger Squat Cannon." Wang Jiakang calmly gave the order, as if he met an acquaintance on the road to greet him.

The Tiger Squat Cannon was quickly placed in front of the formation. The target is the houses made of bamboo.

The aboriginal houses dominated by bamboo could not stop the bombardment of tiger squatting artillery.

Although the Tiger Squat Cannon was not powerful and had a short range, it was only used to prevent enemy cavalry from charging into formation, but now it is very convenient to demolish these houses.

With the collapse of the bamboo house, the Madou people could no longer bear to follow behind and watch the battle, and rushed into the village of the Xingang people, killing anyone they saw, regardless of men, women and children.

The staff officer held the binoculars, and finally couldn't stand it. walked up to Wang Jiakang: "Sir, slaughter like this...... It's not what I'm a Ming soldier should do. ”

"We didn't do it." Wang Jiakang made no secret of his disgust: "It was these fans who did it." ”

There are not many enemies killed on the battlefield, and it is not incomprehensible to say that the grass is cut and the roots are eradicated. But treating killing people as entertainment and a grand event is beyond the moral bottom line of the Ming army.

"Go and tell them," Wang Jiakang finally couldn't help but pull the matter, "These people, men and women, old and young, are all prisoners of my Ming Dynasty, and I want to take them away." ”

Tongshi's feet were firmly nailed to the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at Wang Jiakang. Just said: "Master Jun, this is not appropriate......"

"It's not right for them to kill people like this!"

"Master Jun." Tongshi said helplessly, "The little Zhilu Dao military master wants to save the lives of those fans, but this Xingang and Madou people are actually of the same race. It's okay for them to kill each other, but foreigners can't enslave them...... You see, isn't there also Madou people who take the children of Xingang people back to raise? They were all raised as their own children. ”

Wang Jiakang couldn't accept it for a while, and asked: "The same clan? ”

"Yes. It's really the same race. The general said: "If the military master rushes in, it will be a war with the two societies of them, and I am afraid that more people will die at that time." He saw Wang Jiakang's thoughtful face, and said: "The people of Xingang have suppressed the Madou people for more than ten years through Hongmaoyi, and once turned over. Naturally, the retaliation is heavier. ”

Wang Jiakang let go of the incident, and saw a few Madou people cut off a lot of heads, hanging on their waists and roaring excitedly, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

……

"When did these barbarians become so cunning?" Dressed in the uniform of the United Republic of the Netherlands, Ofovat listened in horror to the tragedy that had taken place in Newport.

- The Madou people are the most disobedient, and they should have all been killed in the first place, just like the natives on the Golden Lion Island.

O'Fowart cursed in his heart, and at the same time resented his predecessor for being too soft-hearted.

In this era of inconvenient communication, the personalities of local officials will be very different in the handling of emergencies. In 1636, the governor of Batavia, Hendrik? Hendrik Brouwer assigned the Formosa prefect Hans? Hans Putman "severely punished and eradicated the inhabitants of the Golden Lion Island as a lesson for them to kill our men".

This event eventually led to the slaughter of all the indigenous people on the Golden Lion Island, that is, the Latin American island (Xiaoliuqiu). By 1645, the island's last thirteen aboriginal families had been evicted – not massacred because the island had been leased by Han Chinese merchants in its entirety.

However, in 1629, the Madou people drowned sixty-two Dutch soldiers, and their behavior was even worse, and the blow to the Dutch was greater, but the means of revenge were far less bloody and vicious than those of the Golden Lion Island, and finally ended in the signing of the "Madou Agreement".

"My dear, if we send troops again because of the Madou Society's war against the Xingang Society, it will make the city of Geranza lack the strength to defend it." A Japanese mistress with long black hair interrupted O'Fowart's musings.

O'Fovat shook his head and said, "You don't understand. If we allow our allies in this region to be attacked, sooner or later the entire natives of Formosa will rise up against us. They must have known about the Big-Bellied Man, the three hundred heavily armed Dutch soldiers that Captain Beck had taken with him. Otherwise they wouldn't have had such guts! ”

"That's exactly what I'm worried about," the Japanese woman said, "and if we send troops again, maybe there will be other tribes that will attack our allies, even Geranza." ”

"You seem to have a good suggestion?"

"The matter between the shengfan,It's best to solve it by the shengfan himself." The Japanese woman said: "We can blame the Madousha for the war provoked by the Madou Society when the local council meets. ”

O'Fovat smiled: "It will make people think that we are decayed, cowardly, and only play tricks." No, we can't. If anyone is going to attack Geranza, let them come! Before that, we must send people to completely exterminate the Madou people and exterminate these cruel and cruel guys! ”

With Ofowart's declaration of war, another Dutch army of 500 men, led by another captain, chose a road with the most aboriginal villages, and rushed towards Madoushe.

According to the plan of the march, they would reach Madoushe at noon the next day and attack the barbarians. However, they only completed the first half of the plan, that is, they arrived at the territory of the Madou Society on time.

As for the work of teaching the barbarians, it was undertaken by the Ming army.

"Fire!"

Wang Jiakang finally saw an enemy who would line up in three rows, and in any case, he was a soldier with tactics. He was very interested in the military formation, and also considered using three lines to face the enemy, but finally found that in the face of the cavalry full of Mongolian and Tatar captives, the phalanx was still the most secure formation.

However, in the face of these enemies, who also use firearms as their main weapon, the line formation has the advantage of being more flexible.

Of course, any tactical and formational superiority is less decisive than firepower.

Two Type 17 battalion guns were fired one after another, scattering the Dutch array, and the musket phalanx marched quickly, withstanding a volley of Dutch, standing at a distance of thirty paces, firing a salvo, capturing the prisoners, and letting the Madou people clean up the battlefield.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

"This kid can't count, and he dares to rush when he sees so many of us." Wang Jiakang was deeply concerned about the IQ of the Dutch commanders.

The Dutch captain had already been killed in the first shelling and could not justify his helplessness. Because the situation at that time was clearly that he had stepped into the encirclement of the army, even if he wanted to, there was nowhere to escape. As for surrendering without firing a shot, this is not the character of Dutch soldiers...... Of course, there is also a bit of luck, hoping that these neatly lined "natives" in front of them will be scared away by the sound of firecrackers.

From this defeat of the Dutch, we can also see the importance of the clairvoyant.

Wang Jiakang counted the battle losses and found that if the casualties of the natives were not counted, this time there was really zero battle damage, and he was somewhat proud in his heart. As for the Dutch who surrendered, Wang Jiakang had to leave a bureau of troops to guard them, so as not to be headhunted by the Madouren. He felt that the heads of the dozen or so Dutchmen who had been killed were enough to comfort the Madou people.

"The whole army is marching, target: the city of Geranza!" Wang Jiakang was in high spirits and rode on a war horse to announce the military order.

If the intelligence is correct, there are only about 400 Dutch troops in the city of Geranza, and a small number of private guards of the leaders who live in the city, which is basically negligible.

However, the main attacking force of Geranza was not Wang Jiakang.

Yang Wunian, commander of the Second Division of the First Guards Army, had already led the main force to anchor in the sea off Dayuan.

The topography of Gelanza is actually built on a small sandbar in the inland sea of the Taijiang River.

The Taijiang Inland Sea has a proper term in geography: lagoon. To put it simply, the accumulation of sandbars encloses the bay and forms a pattern of an inner lake and an outer sea. In southern Taiwan, these sandbanks are named "kun hu", from the first kun body to the seven kun body, and the big man is a kun body.

The task of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army was to land on the sandbar and break through the city of Geranza. (To be continued......)
