Chapter 125

Liu Xiang knew that the Zheng family must have firearms, but he didn't expect that there would be so many firearms. Listen to the sound, at least a hundred and ten. But fortunately, the Zheng family didn't have a cannon. In front of the cannons of the Dutch, the fire gun is a scum.

Drink ordered his men to gather those who had been scattered, though they were frightened. But after all, it is still people, as long as they are people, they can have oil and water to squeeze out.

Looking back at the Dutch battleship, groups of Dutch soldiers had already begun to land. A chaotic Dutch command sounded on the dock, and the soldiers quickly stood in a line under the command.

This is the army, Liu Xiang looked at those people who were like ants in chaos. Look at the Dutch, they all despise their yellow skin.

Yu Yi already knew that there were Ming officials and soldiers in the Zheng family's mansion that was surrounded. However, he is not afraid, if he wants to obtain the sea control in the South China Sea and even the East China Sea, it is impossible not to collide with the Ming Empire. At the time of his departure, he had received authorization from the King of the Netherlands to wage war against this ancient eastern kingdom.

After the Dutch soldiers lined up, Liu Xiang walked to the side of Yu Yi.

"The Zheng family has a lot of firearms, and those courtyard walls are very strong. You have to have artillery! ”

"That's no problem! There will be artillery support. He pointed to the battleships behind him, each of which had forty guns. The artillery bombarded, and the shells would rain like rain.

I think it's just one round of attacks. can destroy the Zheng family's defenses, the kind of masonry wall, in front of the artillery is not worth mentioning.

Li Xiao, who was standing on the watchtower, saw the Dutch start to disembark, and his right arm stretched out his thumb and raised it high. Then he shouted two words to the people below!

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ......! Ten mortars opened fire at the same time, and the shells smashed into the ranks of the Dutchmen who were forming with a whistle.

The scorching shrapnel scattered under the impetus of the explosives, and several tall Dutch soldiers were blown into the air. The red uniform and white pants stand out in the air.

Before Liu Xiang could understand what was happening, he was knocked to the ground by a flying Dutch soldier.

"What the hell!" Liu Xiang's roar couldn't be heard by herself.

The pier that had been shelled immediately looked like an ant's nest scalded by boiling water, and the Dutch soldiers ran in confusion. There were screams of "wow" and "wow" in their mouths, and some people were kneeling on the ground. Prayer with a cross in your hand!

The rate of fire of the mortars is staggering, and in a short period of time, each gun has completed ten rapid fire. If it weren't for the limited ammunition, Li Xiao would have wanted to hit him ten more rounds.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't close his mouth in surprise, he had heard Zheng Sen say that this thing was powerful before. But I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful. From the Zheng family's mansion to the wharf, there is a distance of two or three miles. This thing can actually be in the pit dug and hit the dock directly.

I saw the scene of the Dutch soldiers flying with shrapnel flying and their flesh and blood flying. Just this round of shelling, the Dutch were killed at least four or five hundred or more. Whoever let the shelling happen, these unlucky guys were in formation. Stand neatly and neatly, and be blown up like a target.

"Don't look at it! Let's go down! Li Xiao took one last look at the dock and walked into the courtyard with Zheng Zhilong.

"Why don't you fight the battleship of the red-haired ghost." As soon as he got off the watchtower, Zheng Zhibao couldn't wait to ask.

"The time hasn't come yet." Zheng Zhilong responded, and followed Li Xiao to drill into the anti-artillery hole dug in the past few days.

Zheng Zhibao didn't understand why the time hadn't come, but he saw that Zheng Zhilong and Li Xiao had both gotten in. I also followed into the anti-artillery hole!

Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong have not been idle in the past few days, and the Zheng family's mansion has been dug out of large and small trenches and caves like 10,000 marmots crossing the border. Mortars and trebuchets were placed in the holes. Any flat-firing weapons, there is nothing there is to be done about them.

"Fire!" He shouted angrily, he didn't want those stupid people. Think it's God's punishment, it's shelling. Although I don't know what kind of cannon it is, I clearly know the shelling.

Now he regrets that he didn't bombard the Zheng family's mansion with artillery at the first time. Always thinking about saving ammunition, saving ammunition. Now, he has tasted the bitter fruit of saving ammunition.

The Dutch warships docked at the dock fired at the Zheng family's mansion almost simultaneously. The towering watchtowers are the best targets, and the sturdy watchtowers have been shattered to pieces in an instant by countless powerful iron balls.

"Anti-artillery!" Li Xiao shouted and drilled into the anti-artillery hole. Overhead, there was the constant sound of stones crashing into the earth, and you didn't have to think about it to know that the taller buildings were being visited by cannonballs.

The soldiers of the guard company did not wait for Li Xiao to speak, and then got into the anti-artillery hole. These anti-artillery holes were dug horizontally on the walls of the trenches in accordance with Li Xiao's instructions. So, there is no need for a top cover at all.

Zheng Zhilong's subordinates were still confused, although they had conducted two anti-artillery exercises in the past two days. But no one took it to heart, and the scattered bricks and tiles immediately knocked down many people. Most of them were hit in the head by rubble and rubble, and they fell to the ground without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Zheng Zhibao didn't understand why he had to come down from the watchtower just now. Now I see the watchtower with the base left, and there is a layer of white sweat on my back. If you are still on the watchtower, you will definitely die worse than a pig.

"Stop shooting! This is a waste of ammunition! "Gritting his teeth, his own artillery is all flat-firing artillery. Because of the angle of fire, you can only bombard tall buildings. Because there are other people in the way, there is basically no harm to the Zheng family's strong courtyard wall. It can only destroy the watchtower of the Zheng family, and there are a few buildings that are built higher.

"You can push the cannon to the shore!" Bobby immediately reminded Kuichi.

"I know!" Looking at Bobby as if he was looking at a fool, he didn't know that the cannon was pushed to the shore?

"Order the York, hoist the two doors, oh no! Three cannons down! "He chose a warship that was the farthest away, and he was afraid that when it was hoisted, it would be attacked by artillery fire again.

The Dutch soldiers were cowering on the boat and did not dare to come down, and the guys who had already disembarked were trying to rescue their companions. Many people were killed as a direct result of the bombing, but many more were injured.

Many people's bodies are embedded with tiny shrapnel. The shrapnel is not large, but there are very many of them. The officers also found a huge amount of steel balls at the scene, which were hit by a strong explosion. When it hits the inside of the human body, it will immediately be wrapped in tense muscles. As long as a person moves, he will cry out in pain like a pig.

Until now, no one knows what exactly hit the soldiers. The priest who accompanied the army had already disembarked and began to pray for the dead soldiers.

The Dutch soldiers had no choice but to land at a distance from the pier.

Every ten or twenty minutes, Li Xiao would fire one or two shells in the direction of the pier. It doesn't matter if you hit someone or not, it's important to make the Dutch feel terrified. I don't know when a shell will come.

I was harassed like this until three o'clock in the afternoon. The Dutch soldiers who disembarked and assembled were only about a thousand people! It took a lot of effort to hoist three guns from the warship. The gunner pushed the cannon and left the dock trembling.

They had already heard that the other side had a ghost cannon. If you're not careful, you'll be blown up by that thing.

"Listen to me, who is the first to rush into the Zheng family's mansion. Reward one hundred taels of silver and kill a person from the Zheng family. rewarded fifty taels of silver, and then rushed into Zheng's house, and there were also ten taels of silver. The silver is here, rich and dangerous, and if you don't want to be a short mule, you will take your life to fight. ”

"Whoa!" Liu Xiang kicked down a box of silver, and two taels of silver ingots rolled all over the ground.

"Goo-toot!" The cannon fodder swallowed a big mouthful.

"Kill it, and you can get money when you come back. With silver, you can buy a house and land and sleep with beautiful girls. Seeing that the cannon fodder did not move, Liu Xiang shouted a very tempting slogan again.

"Damn, I'm fighting!" A cannon fodder threw his hat to the ground, picked up a piece of silver, and walked towards the mouth of the alley angrily.

There is a first, there is a second. And then there's the third ......!

Pieces of silver were picked up and put into their pockets, and there were more and more people around the corner of the alley.

"Old thing, why don't you take the silver." Liu Xiang glanced at a gray-haired old man who was leading a child.

"I don't want my life, what do I need money for?" The old man smiled helplessly, dragged the young man next to him, and walked to the back of the line.

"Don't want silver, you're still going to play with your life?" The person next to him sneered, his face full of contempt.

"You think you can't go if you don't want to?" The old man glanced at the Dutch soldiers with guns not far behind him, as well as Liu Xiang's subordinates with ghost-headed broadswords.

"If you take money, you will die, and if you don't take money, you will die. We'll explain our life here today. Just pity my boy! The old man touched the young man's head bitterly.

"Humph! You're a thief, you old thing. Liu Xiang snorted and shouted loudly: "If you take the money, you have to sell your life." Whoever runs back, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite. ”

"Kill!" The person who took the lead in taking the money saw Liu Xiang with a murderous face. Raising the knife in his hand high, he shouted and rushed towards the Zheng family's mansion.

"Kill ......!" The role of taking the lead is obvious, and many times as long as there is a leader, the rest of the people are easy to blindly follow.

Shouts of killing rang out, and a crowd of people rushed up the street again. Anyway, it's a death, it's better to fight, and maybe you can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

No one noticed that the guy who was leading the charge was running slower and slower. In the end, he was overtaken by the others, just when he wanted to get into a corner. I felt a chill in my back, and a spear came out of my chest.

"Bastard, let a group of gentlemen go to death. Lao Tzu will stab you to death first! "The gray-haired old man had bloodshot eyes. The young man stretched out his hand and touched it, and the silver in the man's arms was in his hand.

The two of them glanced at each other and threw themselves into the corner at the same time. Mess around with a dead person in front of you and start pretending to be dead!
