Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 492 The better you pretend, the more painful you will be hit in the face

After the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people almost looked down on Huaxia, and these ronin even lorded over the Chinese in Batavia.

Seeing that the Ming army lined up opposite them, although there were a little more in number, they didn't take it too seriously.

What's more, there are hundreds of black mercenaries beside them. These blacks are also very powerful in combat, and close combat is their strong point.

As the leader of these mercenaries, Sankou Kuide also wanted to pretend to be aggressive, just like a general parading, to boost the morale of those mercenaries.

These mercenaries were all former pirates, who were later taken in by Yamaguchi Cade to form a mercenary regiment. Van Diemen hired them two years ago.

To be honest, it’s very easy to use. They don’t have a single kindness at all. After hearing the three wicked words, they all screamed strangely:

"Don't worry, Boss, these Ming people on the opposite side are like paper dolls in front of us. As long as we shoot in a row and charge at once, they will definitely be defeated."

"Boom"

Just when these people didn't know how to be rampant, Huang Ming waved his hand, and more than 100 mortar shells exploded among them.

Immediately, the Japanese rogues and black people were blown up with flesh and blood flying all over the place, and Yamaguchi, who was defiant just now, turned livid in an instant.

After all, Yamaguchi, a mercenary who often rolls around in the hail of bullets, was not slow to react, and shouted at his mercenaries:

"We have never seen these shells of Minggou, everyone, get down quickly..."

"Boom"

Before Yamaguchi's words were finished, many shells exploded around them. In an instant, the mercenaries were hit hard by the mortars, and more than 500 people were killed or injured.

They were all in formation, lying on the ground would only reduce casualties, but could not prevent them from being harmed by the mortar, and soon another hundred people were blown to pieces.

Shankou Kuide saw that this was not possible. This was equivalent to waiting for death. He had to disperse to avoid or approach the Ming army to shoot. It was meaningless to disperse. He decisively chose to charge and approach the Ming army to shoot.

"Brothers, for the sake of the brothers who were killed by the bombing, and for the sake of the vain silver coins, we must draw a distance from Minggou, otherwise we will all be killed, and quickly disperse the charge. As long as we enter the range of the flintlock, we will shoot immediately. It’s best to go hand in hand with them, this is our strength, let’s go..."

These Japanese rogues and black mercenaries are all desperadoes, and those who are afraid of death will not do this job at all. They looked at their companions who were killed by the bombing, and quickly got up from the ground and rushed over like the Ming army.

The governor of Batavia, Van Diemen, held a single-tube telescope in his hand on the tower, and kept watching the mercenaries and the Ming army.

Seeing the Ming army's mysterious weapons and their lethality against mercenaries, Fan Diemen's face turned pale. He did not expect the Ming army's weapons to be so advanced.

However, he is also very satisfied with the performance of the mercenaries, and he is also happy that he recruited these mercenaries. Without these mercenaries, the ones who were bombed today would be distinguished Dutch soldiers.

Seeing that they all wanted to charge like crazy, Fan Dimen felt that these mercenaries would definitely deal a great blow to the Ming army.

When Zhu Youjian saw the mercenaries stand up and charge, he couldn't help showing a faint sneer:
"General Qi, they sent heads. None of these people can stay. People in these countries are all white-eyed wolves. I am not Zheng He. I want people on the island to tremble when they see Ming."

"According to the order."

Qi Jiguang clasped his fists to receive the order, and then issued an order:

"Qi's army is ready to fight, put these desperadoes close to 150 meters to shoot accurately."

"Yes"

Three thousand Qi Family Army gunmen have stood in three rows, 1000 people in each row. The first group quickly raised their rifles. In order to kill a shot, they would not shoot from 150 meters away.

Seeing that the mortars stopped bombarding and the Ming army pointed their guns at them, Yamaguchi Kuide showed bloodthirsty eyes. In his opinion, the Ming army was competing with the strengths of the mercenaries with their own shortcomings.

All the mercenaries are sharpshooters, and even the Dutch soldiers have some scruples about them, not to mention the Ming army with even worse combat effectiveness.

It can be said that Shankou Kuode connected the Ming army in front of him with the Ming army that was chased and beaten by Dongyao before. It has to be said that this is a kind of sadness for the mercenaries.

"Brothers, as long as you rush into 120 meters, shoot immediately, and kill the commanders at all levels of the Ming army first."

There has been a problem with setting the shooting range. People shoot at 150 meters, and mercenaries shoot at 120 meters. Don’t underestimate the distance of 30 meters. It is the distance between the world and the underworld.

Of course, 120 meters is already the limit of the effective shooting of the flintlock. Under normal circumstances, the limited kills of general recruits are around 80 meters.

When Yamaguchi Cakuto led the mercenaries to approach the Ming army for 200 meters, they had already raised their flintlocks, ready to shoot at a distance of 120 meters.

But when they rushed to a distance of about 150 meters from Qi's army, Qi Jiguang suddenly pulled out his command saber and swung it high in the air:
"Qi's army opened fire"

After receiving the order to shoot, the gunmen of the Qi Family Army immediately pulled the triggers of the rifled guns, and the miniature bullets came out instantly.

Yamaguchi couldn't help laughing when he saw that the Ming army was actually firing at around 150:

"These smart dogs have turned into smart pigs, and they actually shoot at such a long distance. What's the difference between them and recruits..."

How could Kutoku Yamaguchi know what a mini bomb is? While speaking, he suddenly saw blood mist splashing on his subordinates, and then he heard the miserable howling of mercenaries.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Puff puff……"

"Ah ah ah..."

……

"How is this possible? The range of the Ming army's flintlock guns cannot be so far? Hurry up..."

Yamaguchi Chitoku was stunned in shock, and after realizing it, he immediately ordered the mercenaries to charge quickly, but he himself quietly slowed down and fell behind the team.

"Come on, as long as you rush over, you will win."

"Bang bang bang..."

A group of desperadoes rushed towards Qi's army regardless of the fallen companions around them, but they were greeted by dense mini bombs.

After the first row of Qi's army finished shooting, they immediately squatted down to reload the bullets, the second row immediately raised their guns and fired, and the third row quickly picked up after the second row fired.

Three rows of continuous fire, and the speed of rear reloading is very fast. The Mini bombs have never stopped, and the distance of 30 meters has become a restricted life zone for mercenaries.

As long as they were hit by the mini bombs, they would either die or be injured, and soon the bodies of Japanese ronin and black mercenaries were piled up in front of them.

More than 3000 mercenaries were killed by mortar bombs and nearly 1000 people were injured, and now more than 1000 people fell under the guns of Qi's army.

There are no injuries on their bodies, and they can continue to charge the mercenaries. There are less than 1000 people left. If they still rush forward regardless of everything, they are definitely not mercenaries, but death squads.

Not shooting to death does not mean sending them to death. At this moment, the mercenaries were so frightened that their hearts were broken, their legs trembled and they turned around and fled.

Yamaguchi Cade spent a lot of energy and money in building this mercenary team. No matter how much money the Netherlands gave, he would not let the team account for all of them here.

This is not a war, Nima is completely suicide. There is a saying in China that if you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. You should slip away first with oil on your feet. Batavia will definitely not be able to keep it.

Worried that the mercenaries under his command would run away and die, he hastily shouted:

"Brothers, retreat quickly, don't go back to the city, flee in another direction, leave Batavia by sea..."
