Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zhang Guowei looked at his son and smiled slightly. Although he felt that his son was still a little immature in the officialdom, he was happy with his son's brave and daring personality.

This is more valuable than the flatterers who acted in front of the superiors. The future of Daming should be in the hands of young people like Zhang Tongchang and Zhang Shifeng.

The defenders quickly rushed out of the bunker, and then Zhang Guowei saw that the cannons were pushed out of the tunnel by the soldiers, and then they were erected along a shallow ditch that had been built, with the muzzles aimed at the west. The Jiaomen Waterway.

Obviously, this is the position that the defenders have set up long ago, and it was hidden before.

"Get ready, the first test shot, let it go!" A flag bearer held a small pennant, a whistle sounded, and several shells hit the slowly advancing Dutch battleship.

With a "boom", a column of water several feet high exploded on the surface of the water. The Ming army used grenades, and the effect was obvious.

"Correct the shooting angle..." Zhang Guowei couldn't understand another series of orders, but he found out that it was his son who gave the order, so he was very relieved.

"Let's go back to Guangzhou." Zhang Guowei said with a wave.

"My lord, are you not going to accompany the young master?" the people around him asked.

"No, don't disturb him." Zhang Guowei said easily.

Chapter 597: The Heroic Civil War Against the Enemy

When the Ming army's cannon fired, it immediately startled the Dutch army.

As soon as their guns turned their muzzles, the exploding water column exploded around the battleship.

The artillery fire in the first round of test firing is very difficult to hit the target, let alone this era, let alone a moving target.The excellent artillery of the Ming army is really not in the local army in Guangdong. It can only show that the range and power of the army's cannons made the Dutch feel a real threat.

As commanders, especially aggressors, their self-confidence is self-contained.When bandits go out to rob, they usually just look for soft persimmons. Have you ever heard of bandits gnawing hard bones?

The invading army is actually a mentality similar to that of bandits. If any country in the future has weapons that can equal the country of the United States, even if it only has one or two weapons, the Emperor of the United States will not dare to attack.This is the mentality of the invading army.

In a blink of an eye, the Ming army's revised second round of artillery fire came out.At this time, the response of the Dutch army was also very fast. Their naval guns had already been turned around, and dozens of cannons from a row of warships aimed at the Dajiaoshan fort and began to bombard it.

This time the battlefield is very lively. Looking at the whole battlefield through the overall situation, the guns on both sides are booming, and the flames are flashing.Although it is not like the scene of thousands of guns fired in later generations, the sound of the guns has never stopped, just like ten thousand fireworks fired at each other.

"Battalion Commander, our artillery position is set up so well that the enemy's artillery can't hit us at all, hehe." Xiamizi shouted while carrying the artillery shells.

The artillery positions of the Ming army were built along the edge of the ridge, so the projectile surface at such a tricky angle was very small, and the enemy artillery shells either flew high or flew low and exploded at the foot of the position.To achieve such a goal, it will take another 80 or [-] years, or it will depend on luck.

Similarly, the Dutch warships would not get within the effective range of the Ming army's cannons to be beaten by the Ming army, and their distance was well controlled.The Dutch army only suffered a few shells in the panic at the beginning of the artillery battle. After reaching the back, basically neither side suffered.

"Come on, don't fight anymore, it's a waste of shells." Zhang Shifeng looked at it, and the Dutch's shelling was already sparse, and it was even more impossible for the opponent to waste shells in this boring fireworks game.

……

"Bastard, you hateful Portuguese, didn't they say that they taught people the skill of casting cannons? Why is it so powerful?" Dennett was so angry that he cursed the Portuguese for lying to him.

"General, what should we do next?" Dennett's confidant asked.

The set goal was not achieved, and the Dutch army bit the hedgehog at the first bite, which made the Dutch army who came from Laoshi's expedition feel like a stick in their throats.

According to the usual practice of the Dutch, they generally do not fight their opponents in land battles. It is not enough for the Dutch to fight large-scale positional battles.

However, the Dutch still dared to fight small-scale landing battles.

"Organize a musketeer team and attack the fort on the opposite side." Denet decided to use the most powerful musketeers of the Dutch to attack and give it a try.

If he just retreats like this, Denet will lose his reputation and don't expect to be promoted to admiral.

"Yes. One thousand of the best musketeers are willing to serve you." Dennett's confidant was very excited, because the Dutch musketeers were very powerful in this era.

In the Hongxi massacre, hundreds of Dutch musketeers killed thousands of overseas Chinese, which can be described as powerful.

Towards the afternoon, the Dutch landing boats detoured along the edge of the western waterway and landed behind the fort of Big Cape Mountain in an attempt to capture the fort.At this time, Zhang Guowei and other executives had already left, but the strength of the Dajiaoshan Fortress had been strengthened.

As the common people around Guangzhou City, after hearing that the officers and soldiers repulsed the foreigners and achieved results, the young and strong people in Panyu, Foshan began to spontaneously condolences to the frontline soldiers.These places have always been places where martial arts are popular, so naturally they will not be afraid of the hail of bullets.

"Third Uncle, look, is that a foreign devil?" Through a banana grove, a sharp-eyed young man happened to see a figure in a small river in the distance.

"Quickly, put away all the household things." The third uncle is an old man, a shrewd and capable old man, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he signaled the people behind him to hide all the flags, lion dancers and gongs and drums.

"It's foreign devils. You see, they all have curly hair." Everyone pushed through the jungle, and the Dutch army was already exposed in front of everyone.

"Hua Zai, you have good feet, hurry up and report to the military master on the fort. Xingzi, go back to the village and call people, call all the people in the nearby villages, and bring a good guy." The third uncle rolled up his sleeves, and he clenched his fist The veins on his arms are bulging, obviously he was also a Lianjiazi when he was young.

The Dutch army never expected that they would encounter non-army attacks. According to their experience on Nanyang Island, the local aborigines would probably only grin their teeth and scream from a distance, then swarmed slowly closer, and then tentatively started to attack.

When the Dutch encountered such resistance, they all set up three rows of muskets and then fired continuously. After the first batch of the most aggressive natives died, the people behind them would disperse.

A race with insufficient civilization, of course, has no organization and discipline at all.

But this time they met the people of Daming, and Daming is a highly civilized race.People from Guangdong and Guangxi have no worse sense of resistance than people from Sichuan.

"Listen up, people from all houses. There is a banyan forest in front of you. Once the foreign devils enter the forest, you will beat them hard." The third uncle had already taken off his coat to reveal his wrinkled skin, but the old man piled on the crowd. In the first battle, the surrounding villagers immediately looked at him.

"Everyone will follow my orders later, and after the fight starts, lead the fruit to the place with many forests, so that we will not suffer." In addition to the third uncle, a few middle-aged men with some experience also stood up and volunteered to be the backbone of the crowd.

Although the Dutch army marched cautiously, they were not as habitual as the Japanese devils. The foreign devils marched forward swaggeringly with their guns in hand.

With a "whoosh", the poisonous arrow shot a Dutch soldier in the neck.

"Enemy attack, there are enemies. Damn..." After several Dutch soldiers came to the end, their commander realized that they were attacked.Then the Dutch soldiers actually started to retreat, formed a team again, and then three rows and a small group started to attack the woods with flintlock guns.

This is what the disciplined army of Europa looks like, disciplined after being attacked.

However, such a team is exactly what Ming people want.Because the Chinese have always believed in the Three Kingdoms in wars, and they pay attention to strategy and response.If you don't believe me, just find any rural old man, and he can tell the story of the Three Kingdoms.

The third uncle didn't know what guerrilla warfare was, but he was overjoyed when he saw the Dutch divided into several teams.

A small team of Dutch soldiers slowly walked into the banana forest. After a stick of incense, the banana forest trembled, and large banana leaves were constantly breaking, and then screams came and went.

"Oh God! It's the devil, we've met the devil."

When the last dozen or so Dutch soldiers fled back to the edge of the banana grove in panic, who knows what they experienced in the banana grove.

"Stand up, you cowards, that's just a smart trick." Dennett's cronies cursed the paralyzed soldiers.

"No, they are devils. They can do magic and can eat people." Several soldiers were trembling and refused to fight again.

Chapter 598 : Confidence in Winning the Enemy

"No, we can't stay here anymore. This is a trap." After all, Dennett is a person who travels all over the world. He got the rank of lieutenant general by his own ability, not a wimp.

The attack on the fort was not smooth, which already made him feel bad.It is easy to see from this incident that the combat power of the Ming army is not weak, especially the power of the Fortress Mountain cannon is no worse than that of the Dutch main battleship.

What does this mean? This means that the Dutch underestimated the strength of the Ming army.Since the coastal defense guns in Guangzhou are so sharp, then the battleships of the Zheng family in Fujian...

Thinking of this, Dennett felt a sense of danger. Once the Fujian navy came over and blocked the main force of the Dutch army at the mouth of the Pearl River, the consequences would be unimaginable.
