Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 422 The Elite of the Ming Army Are Too Scary
The Ming army seems to really want peace talks.

At least that's what Yan Kun saw.

As soon as they sent negotiators forward in small fishing boats, the Ming army sent a large boat gunboat and a dozen warships to meet them.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Fan Dimen and several Ming merchants board the gunboat.

Not long after, the Ming army sent warships to notify the ironclad warships that were firing on both sides.

Soon, the armored battleship stopped bombarding.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of small warships appeared on both sides and stepped forward to handover with the armored warships.

It didn't take long for those terrifying ironclad warships to retreat slowly.

It seems that the Ming army is not going to attack Batavia.

Perhaps, seeing the terrifying defensive power of the two bastions and the two cities, they were a little timid and didn't want to pay a heavy price to attack.

At least, that's what he saw.

Well, sometimes what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily true!

Yan Kun at this moment is a typical example, because he has too much subjective consciousness when watching these things.

He hopes that the Ming army can accept the peace talks, so he subconsciously thinks towards the peace talks, and he subconsciously thinks towards the peace talks when he sees everything!
And Taichang also hoped that he would be careless and think in the direction of peace talks.

Once the two sides cooperate, what he sees is that the Ming army also wants peace talks.

In fact, there are many things behind him that he can't see.

For example, when the [-] Spike warships on both sides approached the [-] Aegis warships, on the other side that he couldn't see, the sailors on the Aegis warships were quickly handing the ladders to the Spike warships. .

After the Aegis ship left, the four hundred Spike warships had already begun to adjust their formation and prepare to charge.

He was holding up the binoculars to watch the Aegis ships that were gradually going away, when those Spike warships suddenly started, and rushed towards the two sides of the bastion at high speed!

The Ming army wanted to engage in a sneak attack!

No matter how stupid he is, he can tell that something is wrong.

Hundreds of Spike warships swarmed up like a pack of wolves, not wanting to sneak attack or what did they want to do?
It's a pity that he saw that it was useless, because the speed of the Spike was too fast, and they were walking in the dead corner of the coastal defense artillery.

At this moment, even if he ordered someone to immediately adjust the direction of the coastal defense artillery, it would be too late.

At a distance of about five miles, it takes only a few minutes for the Spike to travel at full speed, and it takes at least 10 minutes for them to adjust the direction of the coastal defense guns.

That is to say, by the time they adjusted the muzzle, they would have rushed under the bastion, and the artillery would not be able to hit it at all.

Seeing this, Yan Kun had no choice but to order the two bastions to quickly mobilize troops to guard the city walls on both sides that were gnawed by dogs.

At this moment, he can only hope that the Ming army has no siege equipment and can only use hooks and locks to climb the city wall like capturing a ship.

In that case, they might still be able to hold on, because the shackle would be broken as soon as it was cut, and it would take at least a few minutes to climb up to the first floor of the bastion along the shackle, so they had plenty of opportunities to cut the shackle.

It's a pity that the Ming army didn't use hook locks at all.

After the Spike warships on both sides poured into the moat, they began to connect rapidly. The warships were lined up side by side, and the river channel with a width of more than ten feet was quickly filled by pontoon bridges.

The infantry of the Shenji Battalion quickly tied the ladders together two by two and erected them.

At this moment, the mercenaries on the city wall were dumbfounded, because all they saw were iron shields!

The warships of the Ming army were densely covered with iron shields, and there were no visible figures at all. Even if they held muskets, they didn't know where to fight!

Soon, a ladder leaned against the city wall.

At this time, they seem to be able to take the opportunity to shoot.

Because when people climb up, they will show a little figure.

The problem is, they just showed their heads and were about to light the matchlock and shoot, when rows of densely packed gun barrels appeared on the Ming army warships below.

"Bang bang bang", a burst of gunfire rang out, and the mercenaries on the city wall were immediately knocked down in a row.

How many muskets did the Ming army have?
Seeing this, the rest of the mercenaries backed away in fright, and it was useless for the Dutch officer who commanded them to howl.

Yuan Shu really didn't expect that it would be so easy to attack the first floor of the bastion.

He originally thought that after the Spike came up, rolling rocks and trees would rain down on it.

In the end, there was nothing. There seemed to be no rolling stones or wood on the bastion, not even hot water and hot oil.

He held up his musket and took a few silly glances.

Then, there is no more, playing musket shooting with them, it is simply courting death!
The elites of the Shenji Battalion were not blown out. For a while, they had already tied up the ladder frame, and those musketeers had already loaded their bullets and aimed at the city wall.

After a burst of gunshots, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion rushed up like a tide.

They actually attacked the first floor of the bastion like this!
Of course, the bastion is not so easy to break. If you attack the first floor, there is a second floor, and people can still hide behind the wall of the second floor and shoot at them.

Fortunately, the artillery can no longer bombard them at such a short distance, and people can just shoot at them from behind the city wall on the second floor.

To the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, it was no different from scratching an itch.

Because they all have iron shields, and the shield wall is a set, and bullets can't get in at all.

There are more and more soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the first floor of the bastion, and the shield walls are getting wider and wider. The row started, followed by the third row, the fourth row, and the fifth row...

The Dutch and their mercenaries had never seen this kind of battle before. Rows of iron shields were all in sight, neatly arranged, with no gaps at all, and bullets couldn't get in!
All the Dutch gunners and mercenaries on the first floor of the bastion were frightened and rushed to the second floor of the bastion. The shield array of the Shenji Battalion also pushed forward quickly, and soon they would reach under the wall of the second floor of the bastion.

Huang Degong saw that his soldiers were halfway up, so he quickly got up and asked, "Master Yuan, why don't you command here, and I will go up to command?"

Did he know that these staff generals were the treasures that the emperor focused on cultivating, so he naturally didn't dare to take them to take risks.

Yuan Shu got up without hesitation and said, "Is there anything else to command down here, I'll go up with you."

Uh, okay.

There is no way, there is no room for twitching on the battlefield.

Huang Degong hurriedly dropped a sentence: "Then you must be careful, hide behind the shield wall and try not to show your head."

After finishing speaking, he rushed up the ladder and climbed up quickly.

The Dutch can indeed bully the native countries without guns and artillery. Facing the well-equipped and well-trained soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, they really have nothing to do.

Soon, Huang Degong commanded the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to stretch out their densely packed muskets, and fired continuously at the second-story city wall, so that people couldn't even raise their heads.

Immediately afterwards, they ordered people to pull up most of the ladders and lift them directly to the second floor of the bastion.

Then, groups of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion held their shields and rushed towards the second floor of the bastion.

At this time, those mercenaries also had to come up to stop them, because they had no way to retreat!

It's a pity that their few people are useless at all, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are too dense to discharge their guns below. No matter where they come from, they will be shot by a bunch of bullets, and they will die when they come up.

After the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion rushed to the second floor of the bastion, rows of shield formations continued to move forward, just like combat machines, without a single loophole.

Yan Kun was so angry that thousands of mercenaries couldn't stop him in the slightest, and just let him rush to the second floor of the bastion, so that he couldn't escape.

Did these mercenaries not work hard after taking the money?

As soon as he roared, the remaining hundreds of mercenaries could only bite the bullet and rush towards the shield formation of the Shenji Battalion.

As a result, as soon as they appeared in front of the shield formation, a row of bullets shot at them immediately.

They bit the bullet and endured the pain and rushed to the front of the first row of shields. Before they could do anything, rows of dense spears protruded from behind the shields!
The mercenaries at the back saw that the mercenaries in front had been stabbed into a sieve, so they turned around and ran away in fright.

The elite of the Ming army is too scary, if you go up, you will die!
