Chapter 242 The Dead Soldiers of the Port Landing Do Not Die

"Captain, the flag is on the flagship, ordering us to prepare for landing!" A sailor shouted loudly from the mast, drowned out by the rumbling of cannons, and he had no choice but to shout loudly in the ears of his companions who were watching beside him, and with a bow, he slipped down the mast.

"Stop shooting!" The bearded captain gave the order, he didn't want to 'waste' the cannonballs for a long time, didn't he see those natives on the shore, except for the corpses, not even a single one who could breathe?

"Ceasefire, ceasefire!" The shouts came one after another, all the way to the gun compartment below, and after firing a few shells as if unconvinced, the whole ship stopped shaking violently and quietly anchored on the sea.

"Andrew, it's up to you, go teach those natives a lesson!" Bearded Captain Jack shouted at the officer beside him, apparently his ears had not yet recovered from the rumbling of the cannons, and although he felt that he was speaking to his men in his usual tone, it sounded as if he were shouting: "God is with you!" ”

In fact, without his loud shouting, all the people on the deck had already seen several ships not far from them, and they had stopped shelling, and they all put down their boats and headed towards the already ruined harbor on the shore, and as a member of the fleet, of course they would not be left behind, and no matter how powerful the cannons of the ships under them were, these ships would not be able to go ashore, and they would still need these landed soldiers to occupy the nests of the monkeys and carry their treasures back to the ships.

Yesterday the fleet carried out a tentative 'sexual' artillery bombardment of this port, basically a 'sexual' clearance of all their defensive forces, and it was surprising that there were still a few 'gates' of shore defense guns in this small and prosperous port, which made Jack a little surprised, but it was just a little surprised, in fact, the so-called shore defense guns did not have a 'firing' range as far as their naval guns, and the firepower was not necessarily better than any of his ships' The guns were strong, and he had just turned the bow of the ship, and before he could cross the guns on the side of his ship, the so-called shore defense guns were completely overwhelmed by the fire of the friendly ships that had already been impatient.

However, perhaps because of this small 'interlude', the original plan for landing after the shelling was postponed. Jack had no doubt that this was the commander on the flagship, in order to annihilate the opponent's resistance in one fell swoop, and with this vacancy, if the other party had a strong will to resist, he would definitely mobilize all their 'elite' forces to this port to prevent them from landing, and if that was the case, the fierce artillery bombardment from this morning to the present should basically be able to wipe out these forces.

Jack did not have any resistance to this order of the flagship, after all, the information from the reconnaissance personnel who went ashore that these natives were still equipped with a certain scale of gunpowder weapons, since they even had shore defense guns, (although a little rudimentary) but, who would dare to guarantee that they did not have army guns? The resistance of gunpowder weapons and army artillery was undoubtedly a great threat to the plundering operations of their fleet.

Jack even began to resent those mercenaries at this time, it is said that these natives who only know how to wield primitive weapons, the reason why they can get these gunpowder weapons is because of these mercenaries, and what makes him even more ashamed is that it is said that the leader of the mercenary group is still his own compatriot, a compatriot with a noble title, you say, isn't it good for you to create such a colony for the empire? If you have to serve those uncivilized guys, you will simply lose the face of the emperor.

If this noble lord who disgraced him died in this bombardment, he would not feel regret at all, of course, if he didn't die, he hoped that Andrew could send this guy and the leader of the native people he worked for to him together, and then tell this one in the attitude of a victor: The emperor should be like himself, with cannons and knives and guns in his hands to conquer and occupy, instead of being servitude by a low-level race than himself.

Andrew's leather boots stepped on the solid ground of the harbor, and he quickly found cover for himself, a plank that had been blown to the shore, and he leaned against the back of the plank, watching the small boats in the sea behind him, transporting his soldiers to the shore one by one.

The landing went very smoothly, so far, the landing soldiers have not encountered any resistance, not even the arrows he imagined the best bows and arrows of the local residents fell into his sight, and the people here seemed to be either dead or running away.

In front of him, there is an empty square, this kind of square, in every prosperous port, a large number of goods are up and down in this square, or sent to cargo ships, or sent to the warehouse behind the square, now the cargo ships are invisible, they have blocked this route for almost two months, he knows very well, the value of this port, I am afraid that the more important thing is those warehouses. And their first task is to occupy this port, and then, take the goods in the warehouse for themselves.

Of course, if it were possible, they would push as far inland as possible, and the Dutch would have been able to occupy a huge empire with two hundred soldiers, and they would have a powerful fleet and many times the number of Dutch soldiers, and they would not have done a better job than the Dutch, and God would favor them, God's people, and definitely not the uncivilized monkeys who had occupied great wealth but were useless. He didn't believe that the natives in this wild place would be more difficult to deal with than those soldiers of the Ming Empire in Aomen.

Almost all the boats have landed, and the soldiers have come ashore one after another, except for Andrew, who strictly follows the army's 'drill' code, these soldiers don't seem to regard this landing as a battle at all, seeing the relaxed look on their faces, Andrew sighed slightly in his heart, it is still a group of rabble, if the real 'elite' soldiers of the Portuguese Kingdom will not take it lightly at any time, even if the enemy is weak, it is still an enemy, and the contempt for the enemy is likely to have to pay for his own ' Sex and life do the price.

"Captain, they're all starting to assemble!" His sergeant major ran over and reported to him.

"Leave them alone, tell everyone to check the 'medicine' weapons, and let the doctor go to the middle of the line, I don't want to die under this damn dysentery without being defeated by the enemy by then!"

The soldiers from the other ships had already begun to form in the square, but they were the only ones who were still grinding in the landing position, and the soldiers were all looking at their commander with red eyes, which was late to the warehouse than the others, which meant that they had a lot less wealth than the others. And their commander, who didn't seem to see their longing eyes, just held the telescope in his hand, little by little, carefully searched every place in the telescope.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Behind a hillside that he couldn't see through his telescope, a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Fengzi battalion were struggling to push several carts, on which were huge wooden barrels, on which traces of dirt could be faintly seen.

Tao Zhen shouted loudly, the enemy's artillery outside the port has stopped for a long time, he doesn't know if the enemy has come ashore now, he still can't have time to transport these powerful swarms up, he only knows that if the enemy appears in front of him, and he and his soldiers have not been able to retreat as soon as possible, none of these soldiers who are pushing carts can be spared.

He is the captain of the 37th team, the 37th team, which is the number of all the urgently recruited soldiers in the Zhuangzi numbered 37 outside the city, and it is impossible for these urgently recruited Zhuang Ding to be reorganized according to the establishment of the Fengzi battalion.

What Tao Zhen didn't expect was that his thirty-seven team was actually the first team to receive the task of going to war, according to the arrangement of the military affairs ya'men', all the people in the port had been evacuated yesterday, and as for the goods that were not withdrawn, they were directly abandoned, at this time, people's 'lives' were much more valuable than those goods. In addition to leaving some necessary defenders in the port, only a few miles away from the port had a group of men and horses, and the thirty-seven teams were one of these horses.

As soon as the cannons on those enemy ships sounded, many recruits immediately blew up their nests, and such a might, as if God was angry, thundered in the harbor one by one. A few months ago, they were just peasants with hoes, so that now they are like veterans who have experienced a hundred battles to face these terrifying cannons without changing their faces, which is absolutely impossible, and fortunately, the firearms in the Fengzi camp are sufficient, and when Zhuang Ding was training, they were not less exposed to firearms, and the officers explained loudly, so that they knew that this was not a wrath of God, but a firearm more powerful than muskets, otherwise, this army, I am afraid that they would not even see the face of the enemy, and they would immediately disperse.

But Rao is like this, and it is still very unwise to fight in this situation. The officer leading the team received an order: Wait for the opportunity to fight! That is, in the event that something is not possible, he is allowed to make his own decisions according to the situation on the battlefield. And now it is obvious that it is a situation where nothing can be done, so he immediately made a decision and withdrew!

However, even if they retreated, they could not go away in disgrace, and besides, it would be too cheap for these enemies to occupy the port without any damage.

As a result, Tao Zhen of the 37th team received such an order: after the enemy shelling is completed, get as close to the enemy as possible, release all 30 swarms, strive to kill the enemy as much as possible, and then retreat on his own!

If it weren't for the fact that when the army withdrew, he left more than 20 horses for the 37th team, Tao Zhen really had been treated as a "dead soldier" in the past to carry out this mortal mission, but at the moment, it seems that as long as the cart is pushed to the top of the mountain, and then the arrows are released, his people still have a great chance to escape.

The premise, of course, is that the enemy must not be detected before 'shooting' a swarm. Otherwise, they will become turtles in an urn that must be besieged on the top of the mountain!
