"Report to the colonel, the left and right batteries are under attack at the same time, and the enemy situation is unknown!"

Colonel Robert Ferdinand, who was still quite prestigious in the army, was so angry that all the panicked Portuguese officers and soldiers were quiet, and one of his officers on duty rushed forward and said in a loud voice.

"Order: All companies and platoons are in position and ready to meet the enemy!"

The Portuguese had many enemies in the South Seas, and the Dutch, the British, the natives, and the Qing Empire, which had been 'forced' to the 'door' a few days ago, were all likely to be the culprits in launching this assault.

"Yes!"

Although the Portuguese army is far from being an 'elite' division, but in the end it is an army, the main general has already given a combat order, and the execution is still very resolute, and in the sound of passwords, more than 500 Portuguese soldiers rushed to various important places in the fortress in line, and rows of guns pointed in all directions, quietly waiting for the appearance of the enemy.

Although the Portuguese officers and soldiers who were attacked in a hurry resisted desperately, whether it was morale, tactical literacy or weapons and equipment, they were inferior to the Qing marines, and they could not withstand the impact and encirclement of the Qing soldiers at all, and in less than half an hour, they were so oppressed that it was difficult to gain a foothold on the fort, and the remnants had to escape from the fort in embarrassment, and they fled in the direction of the fortress along the path leading to the top of the mountain.

"Call me!"

The left and right forts are halfway up the mountain, and there are about 300 meters of mountain roads to go from the St. Paul's Fortress on the top of the mountain, which does not seem to be too far, and the smoothed road is not particularly difficult, if it is usually time, such a little distance, it can be completed in a few minutes, but at this time, for the two fleeing Portuguese, it is undoubtedly a road of death, no side, the soldiers of the two companies of the Qing army have already lurked on the two mountain roads, originally to ambush the fortress to aid the enemy, but never thought that Colonel Robert Ferdinand did not have such a plan at allAt this time, seeing the remnants of the enemy retreating to the fortress, the two Qing army company commanders who were responsible for the reinforcements refused to let go, and the sound of gunfire rang out, and once again the battered Portuguese remnants were brutally ransacked, and the real one who could escape to the fortress did not have two hundred and thirty defenders on the left battery, and only the early thirties were left to retreat back to the fortress, and the defenders of the right battery were three hundred and three, and only the poor more than 20 people could be withdrawn to the fortress, and the rest were either killed in battle or captured by the Qing army.

At four o'clock, although the sun had not yet risen, but the sky was already bright, the defenders of Famosha Castle, who had long been alarmed, kept on high alert, while sending a search team, and finally found a few defeated soldiers, and after some inquiry, finally determined the fact that the forts on the left and right of St. Paul's Hill had been occupied by the Qing army who had suddenly killed, so a serious question was placed in front of the Portuguese to defend or counterattack?

Guard? It seems to be very safe, with a tall city wall, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the Qing army being able to attack the castle, the problem is that if the left and right batteries fall into the hands of the Qing army, once the main fleet of the Qing army arrives, just rely on the dozen or so on the Famosha Castle Obviously, in order to keep the Famosha Castle without losing it, the only chance to survive is to send troops to recapture the left and right batteries before the arrival of the main fleet of the Qing army, in this regard, the Governor of Malacca, Count Diego Rodriguez, and the commander of the garrison, Major General Gortat Sanders, and other high-level officials have only discussed briefly, and have reached a consensus to send troops to counterattack, not only that, but also sent liaison officers, asking the commander of the fortress, Colonel Robert Ferdinand, to lead his troops to cooperate, up and down, in order to recover the left and right batteries as soon as possible。

The Portuguese reacted very quickly, and as soon as the hour arrived, Major General Gortat Sanders had personally led the main force of more than 1,500 people out of the castle and 'advanced' to the Santiago Church at the foot of St. Paul's Hill, and at the same time, Colonel Robert Ferdinand also personally led the main force of more than 450 officers and soldiers of the fortress to open the 'gate' on the side of the fortress and move in the direction of the left battery, in an attempt to flank the Qing troops on the left battery up and down with the main force.

Although the Qing army that arrived in Malacca numbered 3,000, it was only about 600 people who were 'exposed' on the surface, and two companies of troops were deployed on the left and right batteries, and as for the main force, they were all hidden in the mountains and forests on the left side of St. Paul's Mountain.

At four o'clock, the battle finally began, limited to the terrain, Major General Gotat Sanders did not press all his forces in one breath, but the first round of tentative attacks was enough to send a battalion, and counting the more than 450 people advancing from the fortress of St. Paul along the mountain road to the left battery, the total strength has more than doubled the more than 300 deployed by the Qing army on the left battery, and what is even more unfavorable is that the Qing army must fight on two fronts, and in the face of the enemy army along the hillside, it still has a geographical advantage. But in the face of the enemy army attacking from the St. Paul's fortress, the Qing army was in a disadvantageous position, the most troublesome thing was that the machine gun could only block a short section of the road due to the problem of the 'shooting' boundary, and it was difficult to form a scattered 'shooting' deterrence against the Portuguese army attacking from above.

In the face of the attack of the two enemy forces, Yan Tianming, who was in charge of commanding the operation, was not afraid at all, and quickly adjusted his deployment, adjusting most of the machine guns to the front, and at the same time, he transferred the strength of one and a half companies to the left side of his own side to block the enemy troops in the fortress who were condescendingly killed.

"Prepare all machine gun positions, give me a fight!"

Although the enemy troops in the fortress were relatively close to the left battery, firstly, the mountain road was not too easy to walk, and secondly, the enemy troops in the fortress were already aware of the sharpness of the Qing army, and their courage was obviously inferior to that of their comrades who attacked from Famosha Castle, and the speed of advance was really not fast, but the enemy troops attacking from the foot of the mountain advanced first to a distance of less than fifty meters from the fort, and they saw that they were all dressed in red. The enemy army in uniform emerged from the not very dense woods, Yan Tianming did not dare to be careless, but under his loud roar, the more than 30 'Ting' machine guns that the Qing army was waiting for opened fire almost simultaneously.

"Da Da Da ......"

With Yan Tianming's order, the machine gun positions suddenly roared, and countless bullets rained 'cross' weaved into a net of death, and in an instant, the Portuguese army forward was beaten to a mess, and the follow-up Portuguese soldiers saw this, how dare they rush forward, and the 'chaos' all retreated to the woods, with the help of the cover of the trees, and the Qing army on the fort launched mutual 'shooting', and the fight was in full swing, but it was a pity because of ' The problem of the 'shooting' boundary was really not much of a threat to the Qing army, but it was heavily killed and wounded by the intensive firepower of the Qing army and the point 'shooting' of the divine 'marksmen'.

"On the first row, lie down, 'shoot' on the spot!"

The road leading from the fortress of Mount St. Paul to the left battery did not go straight down, but along the ridge, with many ups and downs in between, just as the battle on the front began, Colonel Robert Ferdinand led his troops to a small raised slope less than sixty meters from the left battery, but this guy did not rush downward, but first hid behind a big rock, poked his head out, and condescendingly observed the deployment of the Qing army's troops, and when he could see that the Qing troops at this end were all lying on their stomachs or half-kneeling on the ground, The muzzles of a group of 'holes' and 'holes' were aimed directly at the mountain road, and Colonel Robert Ferdinand's heart was a little empty, how dare he wave his army, but seeing that his eyes rolled wildly a few times, he had already raised his hand, and gave the order.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The mountain road itself is not wide, there are a lot of cliffs and cliffs in the back mountain, it is difficult to deploy the troops, only the front mountain is relatively gentle, but there are a lot of shrubs and boulders, and the most troops that can be deployed are only a platoon, even if the troops are not much, but the condescending location is extremely obvious, so the 'indiscriminate' gun will go down, and there are nearly ten Qing soldiers killed or wounded on the spot.

"Fire, hit me!"

Because of the perspective, it is difficult for the Qing army to perceive the specific deployment of the enemy army starting from the fortress, and it is inevitable that they will suffer a big loss under the sudden attack.

The machine guns deployed by the Qing army on the left side are not much, and there are only eight 'Ting', but the fight is very lively, the guns roar, the rain of bullets will cover the past to the small high slope like weaving, and then it will be lively and lively, but the actual effect is really not good, either flying, or hitting the boulders and shrubs, the gravel 'messy' splashing, the branches and leaves are flying, it seems to be majestic, but the hit rate is really pitiful, but the 'shooting' technique of the Qing Marine Corps soldiers has exerted amazing power at this time, for a while' The Qing Marines are the 'elite' in the army, almost every soldier is a divine 'shooter', which is completely fed with countless bullets, not to mention the side, just each soldier's annual live ammunition 'shooting' bullets are far more than 1,000 rounds, this angry counterattack, almost a gun bites 'meat', and in an instant there are seven or eight unlucky Portuguese soldiers who have become the souls of the Qing army's soldiers.

"Second row, up!"

Seeing that this was the first to shoot down, and eight soldiers were killed on the spot, Colonel Robert Ferdinand gasped on the spot, but he did not flinch, but waved his hand blatantly and gave the general order again
