Of course, Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai's means are more than that, in addition to the equipped arquebuses, there are also artillery on the island, four red-clothed guns, and six Furlong machine guns, all of which are concentrated at the northern end of the islands, and even the cannonballs are more than 1,000 rounds, and the strength is really not weak.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, He Bingfeng reacted, the opponent's strength was not as weak as he imagined, on the contrary, just listening to the gunshots, there were no less than a thousand arquebuses in the opponent's hands!

"Order, the second outpost, the third outpost continue to advance to stop the advance of the Zheng family's troops, pay attention to concealment! The first whistle spreads out to deal with the unexpected! ”

The total strength of the two sentinels was only 300 people, and in the face of the attack of more than 2,000 people of the Zheng army on the opposite side, the pressure can be imagined.

However, this is not the most serious, the most serious is the artillery of the Zheng army, now the artillery has sounded, ten artillery, began to bombard the beach and the sea near the beach, now it is night, the line of sight is not good, the artillery can only carry out blind fire, where to hit is counted, as long as it can stop the advance of the Ming army, it is a victory.

One shell after another fell on the beach and the sea, deafening, He Bingfeng's face changed greatly, artillery, specially, the opponent even has artillery, this is a difficult task!

"Give the order to the first outpost, immediately sneak towards the artillery, and in the shortest possible time, get rid of the artillery of the Zheng army! Be sure to be fast! ”

He Bingfeng shouted loudly, it's too dangerous, if at this time, the cannonball hits the sampan or the boat, it will be completely ruined! The second and third sentinels did not dare to slack off, and shot with all their might, and the firing speed of the flintlock muskets was maximized, shooting desperately, attracting the attention of Zheng Jun and providing opportunities for the soldiers of the first post.

The artillery was only two miles away from the beach, evading the fire of the Zheng army, and soon the soldiers had reached the vicinity of the artillery position.

Now on the artillery position, ten artillery pieces stand majestically, more than 100 artillerymen are hurriedly carrying shells, and the ten artillery guns are firing at full power, which is too great a threat to the landing of the infantry battalion in the future!

With a wave of his big hand, more than a hundred brothers suddenly rushed towards the artillery position, and began to launch a crazy offensive towards the artillery from two directions!

More than 100 people attacked at the same time, and on the artillery position, almost all the artillery did not have any defense, and the infantry that was originally used to protect the artillery were all withdrawn, and when they arrived at the front to block the Ming army that landed, the protection here was naturally relaxed.

In the blink of an eye, the amphibious battalion was two or three waves of musket salvos, the artillerymen were caught off guard, and a large area was directly killed, and the entire artillery position was chaotic, too ruthless, too ruthless, the firepower of these Ming troops is still so sharp, and now there is no infantry protection on the artillery position, and these artillerymen are unarmed, they are simply live targets!

In the face of the advance of the officers and men of the amphibious battalion, the artillerymen scattered in a hurry, where did they dare to stay in the artillery position?

Ahead, Tagawa Nanazaemon suddenly heard a dense gunfire behind him, and his heart was shocked, and when he turned around, he saw that a Ming army had already run behind him, and he didn't know when he touched it, and he was slaughtering the artillery to death!

"Ahh Zheng Xiao! Immediately mobilize an infantry to support the artillery positions, and be sure to ensure the safety of the artillery positions! ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon roared.

Zheng Xiao, the partial general on the side, agreed, and led two hundred people to rush behind him, but when they arrived near the artillery position, the artillerymen had already been dispersed, and the strength of the soldiers of the amphibious battalion was unimaginable, and it was by no means something that a hundred and ten artillery could resist.

Zheng Xiao was in a hurry, even if Tagawa Nanazaemon did not give the order to die, he also knew the importance of artillery to them, and now the follow-up Ming army is landing, and there are more and more troops on the beach, and the Zheng army is being held up by two Ming infantry, and it is difficult to break through the past! If at this time, the artillery position is lost, then the fall of the islands is only a certainty, this is the last base of the Zheng family!

"Order, attack with all your might, and you must grab the artillery position! Rush! ”

Zheng Xiao shouted.

More than 200 Zheng infantry began to attack the artillery position, but at this time, the officers and men of the amphibious battalion had completely taken the artillery position, fished over, and began to desperately block under the cover of artillery!

More than 100 amphibious battalions against more than 200 Zheng army infantry, however, more than 200 Zheng troops were beaten in embarrassment, one musket is not as good as the Ming army, and the other shooting technology is at least two grades worse than the Ming army, Zheng Jun is a big gap from the ordinary Ming army infantry battalion, not to mention the elite of the amphibious battalion, finally, now all the soldiers of the amphibious battalion are behind the artillery, shooting, there is a cover around, Zheng Jun launched a charge, directly exposed to rifle fire, that is a live target.

One by one, the Zheng army fell in response, and the Zheng army rushed forward more than 200 steps, but the casualties were too heavy, and the Zheng army was frightened by the beating, and retreated in one go, not daring to rush to charge again.

Zheng Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted: "Go, tell the master of the family, prepare to increase the number of troops to support, the Ming army on the artillery position is too powerful, we can't defeat it!" Immediately send in 300 infantry support! ”

Zheng Xiao's prediction of the situation is very accurate, now the Ming army is strong, far superior to the Zheng army, if you want to defeat the opponent, you need at least three times more troops, if you don't have it, even self-protection is a problem.

However, Zheng Xiao forgot that now the Ming army is rushing to land on the beach, and the infantry battalion on the beach has more and more troops, more than 1,000 people, plus the two outposts of the amphibious battalion, although the strength is still not as good as the Zheng army, but the combat power is not weaker than the Ming army, and there is a steady stream of Ming troops landing behind, if the artillery position is still in hand, it can be used to prevent the Ming army from landing with the help of artillery, and now the artillery position is also lost, how can it still block the Ming army's landing?

At this time, Tagawa Nanazaemon couldn't turn the situation around with all his might, where was there still enough strength to increase Zheng Xiao's troops?

There were more and more Ming infantry rushing onto the beach, and the offensive became more and more fierce, and soon, Tagawa Nanazaemon could not support it.

Tagawa Nanazaemon is full of bitterness, commanding the war, he gave it for nothing, if Ah Cai was by his side, he would never be so quick to the hands of the Ming army, regret not at the beginning, why are you stupid enough to rob the real money of the Ming army, now it's good, you can't steal chickens, you can't erode rice, this is not a matter of eclipse rice, but even a small life has to be put in!
