Chapter 1516: Bloody Duckbill Beach (7)

Now it is the afternoon, more and more Ming troops have landed on the Duckbill Beach, at least the troops of the two integrated military towns have landed on the Duckbill Beach, with a strength of more than 50,000 foot cavalry, plus six artillery battalions, the Tianxiong Army has occupied an absolute advantage, constantly launching a siege towards the Dutch army and the indigenous army, compressing the space of the Dutch army.

George came to Nizos and asked in a bitter voice: "Nizos, our current back road has been cut off by the Ming army, and we can't retreat if we want to, what should we do now?" ”

Nizos was seriously injured, and now he could only lie in a trench, hiding from the artillery fire of the Ming army, although he couldn't see the situation outside, but just listening to the sound of guns and fighting, Nizos could already judge the situation on the battlefield.

"General, our back road has been cut off, and now there are only two ways to go, either to attack with all the strength of the Ming army, and to break through to the southwest, the Ming army in the southwest is the weakest, and the certainty of breaking through is the greatest, but even if we have a great grasp, we will not have many troops to break out, and tens of thousands of Dutch elites have been lost; Furthermore, it is the surrender of the whole army and the preservation of the lives of our tens of thousands of troops......"

"Surrender? No way! ”

George directly refused, "It's not that you don't know the brutality of the Ming army? Spaniards, Dutch, are there still fewer dead? Even the captives who surrendered, they were killed! We surrender? Do you think we will not survive if we surrender? Not to mention the surrender, then do you want the noble spirit of our Kingdom of the Netherlands? ”

Nizos smiled bitterly: "My lord, do you think that if we don't surrender, we will be able to keep the army?" We are already completely trapped here, even if we break through the encirclement, they still have thousands of elite cavalry, and there are special troops who are good at jungle warfare, we can't run even if we want to, in the end, we will still be wiped out in one fell swoop, can we run ahead of the Ming army to Semarang? It's impossible, originally I thought we could fight step by step, but I don't think so now, we don't have the capital to fight step by step, since the moment the Ming army completed the landing, our fate of defeat has been doomed......"

"Fate is doomed, we also have to break through, we must not bow our heads!"

George gritted his teeth and said, "Order, attack in the southeast direction again, I don't believe we can't rush out!" ”

Nizos struggled to sit up, and said urgently: "General, we must not launch an attack in the southeast direction, where the Ming army is too strong, we can't rush out!" ”

George shouted: "Nizos, if we break through to the southwest, we will be farther and farther away from Semarang, and there will be no hope of pulling out Java!" Order, go all out to break through to the southeast, and if we don't break through the Ming army's defense line, we will never stop! ”

George made up his mind to let people protect Nizos, and he personally commanded the elite Dutch army to start a new round of charge!

For example, it has gradually darkened today, George is not stupid, such an opportunity must not be wasted, take advantage of the night, you must kill it!

This is, George still overestimated his strength, when the night was the general, it was also the time when all the 60,000 Tianxiong troops landed, the elite of the 60,000 Tianxiong army continued to compress their encirclement, the cavalry continued to attack, and the infantry began to constantly pick and stab with bayonets.

The Siamese army had long since collapsed, and the Malay army had not been able to hold out for long, and was completely defeated, and now only the Dutch elite who were surrounded in the middle were left to maintain a certain combat strength.

Zhu Jie has decreed that the Siamese and Malays can be spared for the time being, but the Dutch army must be wiped out in one fell swoop, so that they no longer have any strength to resist!

Less than 20,000 Dutch plus 20,000 mercenaries recruited by the East India Company and rigorously trained, this is the core combat power of the Netherlands, however, after two days of great war, the casualties of this combat force have been close to 20,000, and the remaining more than 20,000 people are under the siege of the Ming army, rushing left and right, and they can't be killed at all, and what's worse is that as time goes by, one by one the Dutch elites have fallen, and the morale of the Dutch elites has fallen to the bottom.

"Tan Guilin, how is the war going now?"

Behind, Qin Mufeng urged the horse to run over and asked.

Tan Guilin said with a smile: "Inspector Qin, the Dutch have been completely besieged by us, and if they want to escape, they will inevitably ascend to the sky, and the Dutch generals are also missing a string in their brains, I thought they would choose to break through to the southwest where our troops are weakest, but I didn't expect that they actually chose the southeast direction, and now in the southeast direction, we have tens of thousands of troops, and if we want to break through, how is it possible?" In my opinion, by noon tomorrow, or at most in the afternoon, we will be able to wipe out this Dutch army once and for all! ”

"Tomorrow afternoon? No, it's too slow! ”

Qin Mufeng frowned when he heard this, and shouted: "Pass the order, the army does not need to squeeze the Dutch army's position too much, spread to the surroundings, and make some space for them!" ”

Tan Guilin was stunned and said: "Inspector Qin, now the Dutch still have a lot of combat power, once we relax our attack, then the Dutch will definitely rush out of our encirclement in one go!" ”

Qin Mufeng said coldly: "You know a fart!" Attacking fortified positions is your strong point, but field warfare, that is Lao Tzu's most powerful, do as I ordered, give a certain space to the Dutch, and then concentrate artillery, carry out five waves of artillery bombardment towards their positions, use artillery to bombard their array to me, as soon as the cannon sounds, send our three cavalry battalions, cut the Dutch position into three sections for me, divide and surround it, let's eat one by one, tomorrow morning, the battle must be ended! I don't have the patience to let you spend it until tomorrow afternoon! ”

The corners of Tan Guilin's mouth twitched, making a fuss, don't say that the battle will end tomorrow afternoon, even if it is three or five days to end the battle, it is normal, the elite of the Netherlands plus the participating Malay soldiers, Siamese soldiers and even Spanish soldiers, there are at least 30,000 people, and the elite force also needs 20,000 people, where is it said that the battle can be ended when the battle is over?

However, Qin Mufeng, as the supervisor of the Tianxiong Army, is naturally the boss, and he Tan Guilin is not like asking for trouble and annoying Qin Mufeng, then he will be unlucky!

"Pass the order, the three armies retreat back, the artillery is ready to attack, inform Xia Wanchun, once the shelling is over, immediately send cavalry to divide and surround the Ming army!"

The Ming army retreated to the surroundings with ease, George was surprised and delighted, the Ming army actually relaxed the encirclement, the opportunity must not be lost, it will not come again, break through!
