Chapter 1657: The Decisive Battle of Mount Kesford (4)
"The fleet is under a surprise attack?"
Molde didn't react, and said in amazement: "How can the fleet be attacked by surprise here?" Are you sure there are no errors in the command? ”
The person said astringently: "It's true, General Molde, the Portuguese fleet was besieged by the Ming army in the Strait of Malacca, and finally the whole army surrendered to the Ming army, the Ming fleet under the guise of the Portuguese fleet, mixed with many main warships of the Ming army, after approaching the combined fleet, suddenly launched an attack on the combined fleet, the combined fleet was suddenly attacked, more than 30 battleships were sunk, and dozens of ships suffered heavy losses, and in a short period of time, they could not even recover their combat effectiveness......"
Molde, Verhengtong and the others were like being struck by a thunderbolt from the sky, and they were stupidly stuck in place, so it's okay! Attacked by the Portuguese fleet and suffered heavy losses, damn the Portuguese, surrender if you surrender, why turn over and scourge the combined fleet? Why didn't you all get sunk in the sea?
"Nonsense, impossible, absolutely impossible! It is impossible for the fleet of our Kingdom of Portugal to surrender, impossible, absolutely impossible, and will not run if it can't be defeated? ”
The commander of the Portuguese army, Morenst, roared frantically.
"Bang!"
Molde didn't hesitate, kicked Morenster to the ground, and roared: "You fucking shut up Lao Tzu, if you dare to yell again, Lao Tzu will tear you apart now!" Pierce, you say, what the hell is going on, what are the casualties of the fleets of the countries? ”
Pierce said angrily: "General Molde, the combined fleet suffered a surprise attack this time, and the most serious losses were the English fleet and the Dutch fleet, the two fleets lost more than 20 large and small warships, the French fleet and the Spanish fleet also suffered damage, and most of the losses were the main warships, the combined fleet under the command of General Tropp and General Blake, counterattacked with all their might, and the Portuguese fleet has been completely annihilated......"
"Giggle......"
Morenst, who had just gotten up from the ground, heard Pieres's words, rolled his eyes, fainted, and the entire Portuguese fleet was wiped out, which is more than half of the naval combat power of the Kingdom of Portugal......
"However, the main fleet of the Ming army suddenly appeared, and the Ming warships hiding behind the Portuguese fleet fled, and now the main force of the fleet led by General Troppe and General Black has been pursued to the north, and now the situation on the battlefield is unknown, and General Molde is asked to act cautiously......"
"Cautious? What to be cautious of? ”
Before Molde could speak, Velhengtong was already furious, "Holy shit, Molde, can't we take Mount Kesford?" Drive all the Portuguese who are on sale to the front and play the striker, Lao Tzu just wants to let them be cannon fodder and storm Mount Kesford again, as long as the Ming army here is taken, Batavia is close at hand! Damn, the English fleet was killed by them! ”
Molde nodded and shouted, "Yes, let the Portuguese be cannon fodder!" Dogs, it's time for them to pay! ”
The unlucky Portuguese, who added up to only two or three thousand people, were forced by Molde, Verhengton and Hobrenster, and had to attack Kesford Hill head-on, this time the offensive was too fierce, and behind it was the coercion of the Anglo-French-Dutch army, which one dared to retreat and be shot directly!
Under the tremendous pressure, the Portuguese burst out with unprecedented potential, desperately attacking forward, even grenades could not stop the Portuguese attack, and finally the grapes rushed to the position of the Ming army.
Zhao Xin watched the Western coalition army rush up, gritting his teeth angrily, why all of a sudden, the Western coalition army was so desperate? Damn it!
"Order, all bayonets, give Lao Tzu to beat them back!"
Zhao Xin shouted.
On the frontal position, four or five thousand soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, one by one, hung up their bayonets, stood up, jumped out of the trenches, and fought a bloody battle with the Western coalition army!
Since bullets can't organize you, let you see the ability of the Tianxiong Army to fight hand-to-hand!
Unlike the Western Coalition Army, the Western Coalition Army accepts firearms for combat, which has a history of nearly a hundred years, and hand-to-hand combat is not very common in the army, but since its establishment, the Tianxiong Army has grown up from hand-to-hand combat, and the bloody battles with the Manchurian cavalry and the Russians are all hand-to-hand bloody battles, even if they fight bayonets, they are also brave and invincible!
A bayonet with a bright handle stabbed towards the Western coalition army, and the two sides launched a tragic battle at the front of the position!
After a full hour of fierce fighting, the Western coalition army was finally unable to take the position of the Ming army, and was forced to take Mount Kesford by the warriors of the Tianxiong Army!
On the mountainside, there are soldiers killed and seriously injured on both sides everywhere, hand-to-hand combat, that is the most tragic tactic, wounding 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted!
Zhao Xin looked coldly at the retreating Western coalition army under the mountain, and his heart was extremely angry, in this battle, the Tianxiong army was too damaged, this is the elite of the second town, they are all the iron-blooded heroes brought out by Qin Mufeng personally back then, under the first battle, at least thousands of people were martyred, nearly 2,000 people were injured, the entire infantry battalion, more than half of the casualties, if you add the loss of the flank position, now the casualties of the Tianxiong army have reached more than 4,000 people!
It's hateful, Lao Tzu's three thousand spirit riders are not there, if the second town spirit is in hand, why are you so passive?
"Grandma, I'm not done with you! Want to run? It's not that easy! ”
Zhao Xin was furious, and with an order, the artillery battalion and rocket battalion behind him attacked again, and the cannonballs and rockets in the sky hit the Western coalition army! Torrential explosions erupted from the coalition positions below the mountain!
Molde and Verhengtong were even more angry, and finally rushed to the position of the Ming army, but they were beaten down by the opponent again, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the Western coalition army were even greater, after all, the Western coalition army was in the position of attacking from the back, and the casualties were extremely painful!
"Cavalry regiment, quasi-frontal assault! Take advantage of the excessive consumption of their troops, and they must take their positions! ”
Molde roared, ready to attack again.
"Molde, stop attacking......"
Hobrunst said abruptly, "Now that the sky is about to get dark, our cavalry will attack on the back, which is even more disadvantageous, so we can only wait for one night and continue the attack tomorrow......"
Molde hated: "Okay, then launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, Lao Tzu won't believe it, and he won't be able to take the position of the Ming army!" ”
It's just that what Molde didn't expect was that he didn't have to wait until dawn the next day, the reinforcements of the Ming army were already on their way!
