Chapter 1515: Bloody Duckbill Beach (6)
As soon as the sky was light, the Tianxiong army on the duckbill beach had exceeded 30,000 men, and even two artillery battalions followed, launching a stormy offensive against the Dutch positions in Batavia.
Now the Dutch army is completely panicked, George is constantly giving orders to counterattack, but he is now like a bare-bones commander, his most trusted staff officer was seriously injured, and more than a dozen major generals were served in one pot, even if he George is powerful, one person can't control so many soldiers at the same time, not to mention that now he is also dragging a wounded leg.
A shell fell on the position of the Dutch army, and soon the position became a piece of scorched earth, one by one the wounded soldiers lay on the ground and kept wailing, the Dutch soldiers were used to seeing artillery muskets, but they were able to barely stabilize, the soldiers of Siam and Malay did not say that they saw, they had never heard of it, there was such a fierce artillery fire on the battlefield, a flowering bullet fell, and the surrounding soldiers had to lie down, and the earth-shaking cannon sound had already frightened these soldiers, trembling, two trembling, I can't stand on my feet, how can I continue to fight?
"General, general, the reinforcements from Siam in front of you can't stand it, and there are already signs of collapse!"
A major hurried over and whispered to George.
The position on the right flank held by the soldiers of Siam, once the right flank collapses, the Dutch position will be even more unbearable, and the corners of George's mouth twitched when he heard this!
"Bastard, these wastes, so much of our gold and silver have been wasted in vain! Order, send a team of warlords, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be shot immediately! It is necessary to withstand the attack of the Ming army! ”
George shouted angrily.
In fact, it is no wonder that the strength of Siamese is not good, they are the closest to the sea, facing the impact of the 6,000 cavalry of the Tianxiong Army, the soldiers of Siam are infantry, and because of the muskets, the swords, guns and cold weapons in their hands are naturally gone, and the muskets will not be used, so it is better to have cold weapons, in the face of the crazy attack of the Tianxiong army, the Siamese soldiers fell one by one, like cutting wheat.
After only half a day of fierce fighting, the Siamese soldiers threw down at least seven or eight thousand corpses on the battlefield, and the Siamese soldiers were in great confusion and could not stop them at all.
Hundreds of Dutch infantry stood behind the Siamese army with flintlock muskets, and began to threaten the Siamese army to continue to resist, and dozens of Siamese soldiers were directly killed by the Dutch soldiers.
Tan Guilin, who was supervising the battle behind, frowned, and the Siamese soldiers he saw were about to scatter and flee, but they actually stabilized their positions, it was really evil, and it seemed that it would take a lot of effort!
"Lord Tan, the resistance of the Siamese soldiers in front is too stubborn, we rushed four or five times, but we were all blocked! What to do? ”
The guerrilla general Lu Han came to Tan Guilin panting and said urgently.
Tan Guilin asked, "What's the matter?" No, I've already seen signs of the collapse of the Siamese army, how can I suddenly stand firm again? ”
Lu Han smiled bitterly: "This time the Dutch are completely playing with their lives, sending several overseers to supervise the battle in the back, and those who retreat will not be killed, there have been dozens of Siamese soldiers who have died under the guns of the Dutch, Siamese soldiers are dead when they advance, and they are also dead when they retreat, they naturally choose to fight to the death, at least if they hold their positions, they can still receive a lot of bounties......
Tan Guilin said fiercely: "Since they don't know whether they are alive or dead, then transfer all the infantry battalions behind me to fight, aim and fight, and blow up their positions directly for me!" I don't believe they, the Siamese, will hold out forever! ”
Tan Guilin gave an order, and all fifty or sixty artillery pieces of the three artillery battalions behind were transferred over, and launched another attack on the Siamese position.
This time, even the Dutch soldiers who supervised the battle could not stop the collapse of the Siamese soldiers, there was no way, the artillery fire was too powerful, the crazy explosion made the Siamese soldiers have nowhere to hide, and the only remaining courage in the hearts of the Siamese soldiers was gone, groups of Siamese soldiers scattered and fled, where was the supervision team composed of dozens of Dutch soldiers able to stop it?
collapsed, completely collapsed, a group of Tianxiong troops rushed to the right flank position of the Dutch army, tens of thousands of Siamese soldiers in a short period of time, ran away, no fight, such a battle could not be fought, it was simply a death, there was no hope of victory at all, there was only despair from the heart!
The right flank collapsed, and the Tianxiong army passed through the right flank and copied directly towards the rear, which is also Tan Guilin's cleverness, concentrating elite forces to defeat the right flank position in the southwest, and then outflanking it directly, you can completely encircle the Dutch army in Batavia, a narrow area in the northeast corner of Java Island! At this moment, the Dutch army wanted to break through the encirclement of the Tianxiong army, but it was difficult.
Won the right flank position, the Ming army began to launch an all-out attack on the Chinese army position guarded by the Dutch, this time the offensive intensity was much greater than before, thousands of Tianxiong troops under the cover of artillery, launched a surprise attack on the Dutch again, the Tianxiong army infantry behind only followed, and invested thirty or forty thousand troops in one breath, and the Dutch were defeated and retreated in the Chinese position!
George was horrified, why did all of a sudden the attack of the Tianxiong Army be more than two or three times more fierce than before?
"Retreat, retreat! Retreat to the southwest! ”
George roared madly, he can't hold on, he can't hold on, wait until the Ming army breaks through the Chinese army, then it will be troublesome, his Dutch army will definitely fall apart, without these elite main forces, then he will really be finished!
However, at this time, if you want to retreat to the southeast, it is too late, the Tianxiong army has occupied the right flank position, blocking the retreat of the Dutch army, tens of thousands of Tianxiong troops occupied the right flank position, and one by one the Tianxiong army continued to shoot to prevent the Dutch from breaking through, and the Dutch launched several attacks in a row, all of which were beaten back by the Tianxiong army.
At this time, George reacted, wipe, how can I explain that the army has attacked the Chinese army position for so long without any progress, it turned out that it was not that they could not take the Chinese army's position, but wanted to break through the right flank position, cut off the Dutch army's rear road and then launch a siege, now the Ming army has been surrounded on three sides, and the northeast direction is the edge of the sea, unable to break through the blockade of the Ming army, then the Dutch army will be annihilated!
