Chapter Forty-Nine: Explosion Explosion

Whoever is mad in the face of death, even the Lord's spokesman.

Looking at the priests who were familiar with them on weekdays, howling and rushing towards the Ming people with all kinds of words. Father Ulysses Andrade suddenly felt a thrill, and he even had a slight expectation of seeing the bloody scene below. He still thought that he couldn't do it, but he found that if he could break through his first bottom line, he could break through his countless bottom lines.

To Moya's surprise, the scenario he had set did not appear. Da Ming was not like the natives of those other places, gathered together, inexplicably watching the gunpowder explode in the middle of himself.

These Ming people were obviously as familiar with the taste and power of gunpowder as their own Dutch.

The fans of the Jinyi Guard immediately noticed that something was wrong, they rushed up and dragged Wen Tiren, and then rolled backwards, directly into the trench behind the plank.

The priest who rushed to the front lost his script. Originally, he had already hugged the Ming people, but where did the Ming people go? It was as if they had disappeared in front of them all at once. After a slight hesitation, as soon as the pace of their feet slowed down, the fuse was already burning to their backs.

These priests are like a flock of sheep, the first sheep in front of them loses their way, and the latter flock stops. There were even people who looked back at Wade and Moya behind them.

"Tell the Blackcoats, prepare!"

Sun Chengzong had already seen the red pillars of smoke rushing high into the sky, which showed that those unreliable submarines had magically completed their layout.

"Just give away your own head? The East India Company doesn't seem to be monolithic. Zhu Youzhen, who was holding a telescope, felt as if there was a little opportunity.

Rumble!

The traditional black powder explosives pack has no directional ability, so the destruction is centered on each priest, and then it is rushed around. In the midst of a violent flash and roar, half of his body was left in the huge sand pit, and the stumps and blood fell from the sky crackling.

The nearest trench was the most bearish.

With a click, an arm with a black robe smashed on the head of Wen Tiren, who was standing behind many fans.

Yes! He was so stumbling that he even tried to climb up from the trench, but the two guards who followed him dragged him down without saying much, and then pressed him to the bottom of the trench.

"Retreat along the trench!" The hundred households in charge of the command shouted loudly.

Moya was not very frustrated when he did not reach the set goal. In his opinion, these Ming people, who were still holding big swords and carrying bows and arrows, could not face an army armed with plate armor and artillery like themselves after all. A scheduled bonfire had been lit on the beach, and thick black smoke emanated from the wood that had been splashed with water.

Moya's troops were so familiar with this kind of landing operation that they didn't know how many times they had been conducted.

As soon as they saw the predetermined signal on the beach, the armed merchant ships in the rear began to cross their boats, which were still on the sea, and began shelling the projected landing site.

Sun Chengzong's brow furrowed.

Although Zhu Youzhen told him countless times that the Europeans had spoken about the sharpness of the artillery of the sea ships, it was the first time he had actually seen such a dense artillery. Puffs of smoke rose from the armed merchant ship, followed by countless black shells raining down. Looking at the deep pits on the beach and the smashed coconut trees, Sun Chengzong knew that the power of the Dutchman's artillery was so sharp that even he couldn't imagine it.

"I met the red hair at sea, you must be cautious and cautious!" Nan Juyi's voice sounded in his head again.

Dozens of dinghys slowly thought about the approach of the beach, and under the cover of artillery fire, Dutch soldiers in iron armor stepped on the sea and began to land.

It was only at this time that Sun Chengzong understood that what His Majesty said was right. Even the once most elite Ming army, under the intensive artillery attack of such armed merchant ships, this kind of war has no chance of winning.

He glanced up at Zhu Youzhen, this time he really recognized his majesty from his heart. When he was about to let the artillery battalion of the black-clothed army attack, Zhu Youzhen stopped him.

"Don't be in a hurry, let them camp on the beach."

Although it is called Mad Dog, Moya still gives a cautious and cautious attitude towards this country that is unfamiliar to him. Sure enough, as directed by Zhu Youzhen, the Dutch who had completed the landing did not attack directly, but gathered within the range of the guns of the armed merchant ships and began to set up their own camp.

"Has the submarine set up mines?"

"The signal hasn't been sent back yet." The staff officer next to him who was in charge of liaising with the submarine mother ship shouted loudly.

Zhu Youzhen, who has experienced the ability to communicate in the afterlife, really hates this feeling. It's a matter of real-time contact over the radio, but now it's like gesturing in the dark.

"Use the signal flag to tell the mother ship that as soon as a submarine returns, the information will be transmitted quickly!"

"Your Majesty?" Sun Chengzong felt as if the emperor was adjusting the original battle plan.

"Let's see if we can negotiate with these people." Zhu Youzhen said directly.

"They can send so many priests to blow themselves up, saying that they are to blame, do you think we care?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Your Majesty thinks that their people are also using this battle to purge the enemy from within?" Sun Chengzong raised the telescope again. All the Dutch had already gone ashore, and they did not even send out a reconnaissance team, but gathered on the beach, and began to set up their tents, artillery, and other positions, as Your Majesty had said.

"Almost, at least not monolithic. We'll see if there's a chance. I look up to those people at sea. Zhu Youzhen asked the academy staff officer next to him.

"Give the order and keep our black-clad army waiting."

He was a complete layman in the command of the army, so he said to Sun Chengzong:

"Inspector, is there any way to entice these Dutchmen to move inland?"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Youzhen questioningly.

"This kind of person will not be reasonable if he doesn't hurt it. Once the mines can really be arranged. I need these ships to move. And now the only way for these ships to move is to extend the range of their artillery to support their landing force. ”

"The old minister understands."

"The mines have been placed, the submarine has returned!"

"Xiong Wencan, the big knife battalion with crossbow arrows, divided into three batches, rolling retreat."

At this time, the Dutch on the shore had already begun to prepare food. Lit bonfires filled with the enticing aroma of pork and sausages, and the sailors who carried the Dutch soldiers ashore were ready to share a rare treat.

They didn't notice at all that three teams of 150 Great Ming soldiers were secretly approaching them.

In front of them were three Dutch sentries in plate armor, sitting on a boulder by the sea. In the eyes of the Dutch, they met opponents in the East Indies who were mainly bows and arrows and broadswords. As long as it is not a concentrated artillery and musket, bows and arrows are still a small threat to the plate armor on their bodies.

The team pointed to the grenade in his waist.

"It's louder, but don't kill it all at once."

In the eyes of these Dutch, there was no concept of a unified Ming Empire. In their eyes, it's just waves of natives who look similar.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the study of the Dutch had already begun in the academy. They even bought a dozen sets of Dutch armor at a great price through intermediaries. Although this plate armor restricts the soldier's speed of movement and vision, it is still very protective, especially with the addition of a rectangular striped shield.

The shield array formed is almost completely unafraid of the impact of bows and spears.

However, with something like a grenade, they found that even if the fragments of the explosion could not hurt anyone, the power of the concussion was enough to inflict massive damage on the person in the plate armor.
