Battle 1631 Battle of Medan (1)

The Western Fleet is only one or two hundred miles away from the port of Medan, and for the fleet, it is a few hours away.

Molde led the French fleet to the port of Medan, and in the middle of the night, it began to land in Medan.

It was not as difficult as Molde expected, the Ming army did not leave any troops at the port of Medan at all, and the 30,000-strong army drove straight into the port and landed directly on the port, and by the afternoon of the next day, the army had completed the landing.

Molde was excited to death, this Ming army is obviously not as strong as Tlopp said, at least their general is an idiot, this Medan port is an excellent landing site, the Ming army has no defense at all, let his army complete the landing so easily, there is no reaction at all, now, even if the Ming army reacts, it is useless, you must know that the 30,000 army, even if it is a head-on confrontation with the Ming army, you can have the upper hand, How many troops can be stationed on a small island of Sumatra?

"Order, the army will repair overnight in Medan and march towards the Dumai fortress early tomorrow morning!"

Molde said in a deep voice, "Order Kellid to lead the 10th Infantry Regiment of the French Army, guard around the position, and be careful!" The fleet can return to the battlefield, and their protection is no longer needed here! ”

Molde really doesn't need the protection of the fleet, 30,000 army forces, carrying the establishment of four artillery regiments, there are more than 80 artillery pieces of various calibers alone, and the firepower is extremely powerful, and the infantry of the three countries are also the elite of each country, 30,000 people, even if they encounter the main force of the legendary Tianxiong Army of the Ming Army, they can also win the battle.

Molde has such self-confidence, as a famous general of the French Army, a general's self-confidence is always the confidence to gallop on the battlefield!

However, Molde planted on his self-confidence, if the Tianxiong Army really didn't have two brushes, it would have been in vain for so many years.

On the island of Sumatra, there are two whole towns of Tianxiong Army stationed, as well as the strength of one town in Nanyang, adding up to more than 70,000 troops, just the elite, there are 50,000 people, want to clean up the Western army, Molde is really enough!

It's not that there is no garrison of the Ming Dynasty in Medan City, but before the arrival of the Western Fleet, Xu Yifan and Tan Guilin transferred all the garrisons of Medan to the Malacca area, and replaced them with the Tianxiong Army of the Two Towns, but Tan Guilin got Xu Yifan's general order not to fight with the Western Fleet when it landed, in that case, the Western Fleet would definitely attack from the sea, and it would be difficult for the Ming Army to bargain, since they wanted to deal with him, then be ready to eat all the Western Army in one go.

How to eat it? Naturally, it was to lure the enemy deeper, after the French army left the coast of Medan.

Now Molde has left the military port for more than ten miles, and when he arrives in the city of Medan, where will the Ming army be polite to the Western Army?

Just when the Western Alliance Army was repairing, the forces of the two towns of the Tianxiong Army had been outflanked from all directions, trapping the Western Route Army in the middle!

In the second half of the night, all the units of the Western Coalition Army had already fallen into a deep sleep, leaving only one infantry regiment to guard around the position, and in the distance, the six artillery battalions of the Tianxiong Army had already lined up in formation, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the positions of the Western Coalition Forces a few miles away!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

In the middle of sleep, the fierce cannon sounded, the six artillery battalions of the Tianxiong Army were all put into the big battle, the six artillery battalions, fully prepared more than 100 artillery, and the Tianxiong Army was the first to be equipped with flowering cannons among the armies, which was extremely powerful, and all the shells were flowering shells!

In an instant, the entire position of the Western coalition army was shrouded in artillery fire, hundreds of shells exploded almost at the same time, and the unsuspecting Western soldiers were directly sent into the middle of the sky in the explosion, blazing and soaring into the sky!

The position of the Western coalition army was chaotic in an instant, and the French infantry regiment in charge of the vigilance was so frightened that they lay on the ground one by one, and did not dare to move, except for the north direction, the southwest and east directions, all of which were artillery fire of the Ming army, extremely fierce, three or four miles away, they directly launched an artillery bombardment, and the infantry only had to be beaten passively with their muskets!

Molde woke up directly in his sleep and jumped up, at this time, one shell after another fell, and the entire position was already filled with gunsmoke and flames!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare to fight back now! Artillery, artillery, prepare to return fire! ”

Molde roared.

It's just that all the soldiers are awakened from their deep sleep, and they want to fight back immediately, where is it so easy? Especially the artillery, before coming to the gun position, you have to remove the gun jacket and carry the shells, these all take time, and the Ming army will not give you such time to calmly return fire!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Western coalition army has just gotten up from the ground, and even the artillery has not run in front of the artillery, the second wave of attack of the Ming artillery has arrived, and most of the Ming army is now rear-loading artillery, the firing speed is far better than the front-loading artillery, clean and neat, the second wave is hundreds of shells, two waves of shelling in succession, directly beating the Western coalition army dizzy, a team of soldiers scurrying around, dodging the artillery of the Ming army!

The three artillery regiments brought to the Western coalition army were ready to shoot and were ready to return fire, but the Ming army had already completed four rounds of firing, and hundreds of shells were wantonly killing on the Western positions, and the Western coalition army suffered heavy casualties and screamed again and again!

"Order, order the cavalry to be dispatched immediately, divide the Western alliance army into two sections, and prepare to encircle and annihilate the opponent!"

Tan Guilin shouted, "Go to war!" ”

Five thousand elite horsemen roared and rushed towards the position of the Western Alliance!

For example, today's elite cavalry of the Xiong army is only two miles away from the Western coalition army, and two miles, for the cavalry, that is, in the blink of an eye, can rush to the position of the Western coalition army.

"Kill!"

The elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army let out a merciless roar from his mouth, surging forward, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the front of the position of the Western Alliance!

Today's Western coalition forces have not completely woken up from the chaos, one by one, there are few people, there is no figure in a radius of 100 meters, and there are dozens of people in a radius of two feet in places with many people!

The Tianxiong army didn't even look at it, and specifically thought about the crowded place, untied the grenades from his waist and threw them to the sides!

Although this thing is not as powerful as a cannonball, it can't stand much, five thousand elite riders each have five or six grenades, that is tens of thousands of grenades!

The Western coalition army was patronizing and hiding from the artillery fire of the Ming army, where did they think that the Tianxiong Army would have such a big killing weapon? Bursts of explosions sounded one after another on the positions of the Western coalition forces, and the Western coalition forces were bombed horribly, wailing all over the field!
