Chapter 1491: Gunshots in Batavia
Zhang Chu is really right, the Governor of England Dale really sent his own envoy, not that Dale wants to go back on his word again and join forces with the Netherlands and Spain, but that Dale is not too bad with the two countries, after all, this is in Nanyang, and the minimum unity of Westerners should be emphasized, especially in the future, if Daming really defeats the Dutch and the Spaniards, then only England and Daming will be left in the entire Nanyang.
Dale is not stupid, what if the Ming Empire defeated the Dutch Spaniards and fought with himself for the territory of the South Seas? At that time, there was no reinforcement around him, and Dale was not so confident in competing with Daming single-handedly in Nanyang. Yes, Dale still wants to maintain the foundation of future cooperation with Cohen and Davis, not to mention, isn't it true that the Ming Empire has not finally defeated the Dutch and the Spaniards? What if the Ming Empire falls? At that time, the English will be embarrassed, and they will inevitably be hostile to both countries.
Dale sent his right-hand man Keynes to mediate the relationship between the three parties, but in the eyes of Cohen and Davis, this is a sign of Dale's vacillation, since he is vacillating, then there is a chance to persuade Dale to redirect to the Netherlands and Spain, Cohen is naturally going to put on a big battle to receive the envoy from Mumbai.
Cohen gave an order, summoned all the leading figures in Batavia to attend the reception, and set the venue at the most luxurious hotel in Batavia, the St. John's Hotel.
In the afternoon, the road from the Doge's Palace to the St. John's Hotel was blocked by the elite soldiers of the Dutch, and the road was protected by three steps and one person, five steps and one post, and almost all the pedestrians on the road were cleared.
"General Deng, have you all remembered the faces of several of them clearly?"
Zhang Chu asked, "At the critical moment, we must remember the goal, don't make a mistake at that time, it will be a failure." ”
Zhang Chu worked hard to get the faces of the leaders of the Netherlands and Spain, so that the people in the special operations battalion were familiar with each other, and if they were assassinated, they must find the target, if they can't even recognize the target, then what is the point of assassination?
Deng Xiong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Chu, as long as there is no problem with your portrait, then we will definitely not have a problem, and we will never admit our mistakes!" ”
They are located almost two miles west of the St. John's Hotel, where the streets are lined with shops on both sides, and the soldiers of the 40 special operations battalion have chartered three restaurants and a brothel in one go, with ten people in each place, and the distance is only more than 100 meters.
"Alright, let's not talk about it, the team is coming closer!"
Zhang Chu said in a low voice.
Deng Xiong said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhang, there is nothing for you here, go back immediately, and start preparing to cover our evacuation!" ”
Zhang Chu nodded, it didn't make much sense for him to stay, it was better to sit on the periphery and command the staff to cover their retreat.
Soon, the team marched step by step towards the ambush position of Deng Xiong and others, and entered the circle of ambush of the special operations battalion.
In front of them were two hundred Dutch soldiers armed with live ammunition to protect them, and there were also two or three hundred people in the rear, and there were also standing guard on both sides of the road, and in the middle were Cohen and Davis and others.
Not to mention the others, even Deng Xiong's heart became nervous, sweat began to appear in his palms, the firing pin rifle in his hand was on the window, aiming outward, and the revolver was used in combat, but this assassination was more accurate than the rifle, just because of the inspection, they were only able to carry eight needle rifles in!
Getting closer and closer, Cohen's face has clearly appeared in everyone's sight, Cohen on the left, Davis on the right, and Soria and Montello and others behind him.
"Grandma's, finally appeared! All eight firing rifles were aimed at me, and it was the people in the middle who sniped with firing rifles first, and then gave them two rounds of grenades, and even if they were Da Luo Immortals, they would definitely not survive this time! ”
Deng Xiong shouted in a low voice, and the rifles were exposed!
Bang bang bang......
Eight people pulled the trigger almost at the same time, the firing needle rifle, which can be said to be the most powerful and advanced musket in the world so far, rear-loaded, paper-shell bullets, rifled guns, with a range of more than 500 steps, sharp weapons in hand, if the task can not be completed, then Deng Xiong's special operations battalion will have no value in existence.
As the shots rang out, Cohen and Soria were the first to fall from their horses, and almost at the same time, Davis also fell from his horses screaming! There was a lot of chaos in the ranks!
"There are assassins, there are assassins! Enemy attack, enemy attack! Lock down the city and capture the Assassins! ”
Almost all of the guards were stunned, and what the hell was that unexpected, wasn't it? A few gunshots rang out, and more than half of the leaders in the middle were dead! Each one of them is a very important person!
However, the most unlucky thing was the English envoy Keynes, no one used him as a dish, but this guy was just at this time, yawned, and the war horse was a step behind, just blocking the figure of Monterlo on the side, the bullet did not concentrate Montella, but it hit Montellalo's head with a huge blood hole, Montella didn't even say a word, and died directly!
As for Cohen and Davis Soria, they had all fallen in a pool of blood at this time, both of them were shot in critical terms, and they obviously couldn't survive.
At this time, the Dutch soldiers panicked like headless flies, shooting blindly in all directions, and at the same time hiding other important people behind them!
However, if one of them is safe in this way, where is there any security? If the human body can block a bullet, how can it block a grenade?
"Grenades!"
Deng Xiong roared angrily, and in an instant, forty people shot almost at the same time, and twenty grenades were thrown into the crowd, exploding in an instant!
In the crowd, there was a terrible roar in an instant, and one by one the Dutch soldiers were blown out by grenades, with a large number of dead and wounded, and before the soldiers could react, dozens of grenades were thrown into the crowd again, and there was another wave of dense explosions, and the entire street was completely stained red with blood, and the Dutch were killed and wounded!
