When he saw his comrades howling desperately and trying to stuff their intestines back, the fear in his heart finally overwhelmed reason! He threw away his sword and fled the battlefield with a scream! As a result, he became the first stone to cause a great avalanche!

That's how it is on the battlefield, as the so-called defeat is like a mountain! With the first person escaping, immediately there will be a second, a third, and finally a complete collapse of the entire front. The Dutch soldiers were like this, seeing that the others began to flee, the rest of the people could not suppress the fear in their hearts, and fled from the battle group one after another, and the whole team completely collapsed!

The Dutch commander also tried to use his bravery to lead more people, constantly boosting morale! As a result, as soon as I was distracted, I was stabbed in the chest with two bayonets at the same time! The commander who fell to the ground could only watch in despair as the backs of the soldiers fled and died!

The Dutch soldiers were defeated, while the marines were maddened with excitement! They chased after the fleeing Dutch soldiers! The sluggish Dutch soldiers, who had been wounded, were stabbed in the back and fell to the ground, and only the lucky ones escaped back to the castle.

The Marines pursued the Dutch soldiers, chasing them all the way to the castle's fire, before being fired back by a volley of muskets. The Marines, who had calmed down, began to quickly get out of the range of the castle and return to the battlefield. There are also injured partners there who need to be treated.

They carried away the bodies of the wounded and their comrades, and stabbed to death all the wailing Dutch wounded soldiers. Only then did he begin to reorganize the battlefield. The supplies on the battlefield cannot be spared. Although Liu Pei's supply to everyone was sufficient, it was maintained after paying a large amount of silver.

Soldiers clearing the battlefield can get a certain amount of loot. Other seizures are good opportunities to replenish. Although many things are not used, at least they can be converted into raw materials, which can save a lot of money. Let's talk about the Dutch smoothbore guns, although these things are not used by the wife, but the iron on them can be completely dismantled and melted back and re-melted into all kinds of things needed.

A terrible battle is over, and all the Dutch people watching the battle on the castle are wiped out! The battle did not destroy the opposing artillery

and the position, but the loss of troops and heavy losses! There were more than 300 people when they left, and only 12 or 30 people came back!

Some of the dead and wounded were still alive and well for the Dutch to bear, after all, there were plenty of adult males in the city who could serve as soldiers. If it really doesn't work, those half-grown children can also go to war. Hand-to-hand combat doesn't work, they still have no problem manipulating smoothbore guns.

But this time, it was too hard to hit morale! You know, they are in an encirclement, and their morale has already begun to drop. If it weren't for Major Clyde's clever way to knock out the firing range cleared by his own building and force Liu Pei's fleet back with artillery, their morale would have been even lower at this time! And this defeat will be even more demoralizing!

Morale is a wonderful thing, you can't see it or touch it! But he is real, and he affects the course of the battle, even success or failure! Sometimes, the commander of a team can keep the morale of the troops up, and maybe they can turn defeat into victory!

Nils looked at the soldiers who had fled into the castle from the gates, and said, "It seems that we can't repel each other head-on!" I'm afraid the soldiers won't want to go out of the city again! I really didn't expect that these people's combat effectiveness is very strong! ”

Major Clyde was not a civilian like Nils, he was a true professional soldier. So he looked at the battle just now more carefully. He pondered and said, "These Orientals are indeed smart! They don't know how to install a knife on a smoothbore gun! In this way, the smoothbore gun becomes a short spear! It is very convenient to switch from shooting to charging when fighting, and at the same time it reduces the burden on the soldiers! What a genius idea! ”

Nils shook his head and said, "Major Clyde, don't think so much about it now, hurry up and arrange defenses, now we have to hold on for a long time!" ”

Clyde nodded and left, he still had too much to do. What he wanted most now was to ask the soldiers who had fled back if they had seen how a knife had been attached to the other man's smoothbore gun. How best to cope with such a smoothbore gun with a knife?

And Liu Pei's side was already thunderous with joy at this time! The few logisticians rushed up to welcome the victorious Marines

Members! Medics rushed to administer first aid to the wounded. The whole beach is bustling with activity!

Liu Pei looked at the lively scene on the beach and said with a smile: "Okay, after this battle, the other party won't dare to come out!" We hurried to pick up the wounded and then prepared for the next step. ”

There was no fighting that afternoon, and even the artillery battle ceased. Both sides are licking their wounds. But to the surprise of the Dutch people, many soldiers on the beach were still busy. They packed the sand in sacks and carried it away in small boats. Others were tinkling with the timber they had brought in, as if they were making something. Nils and the others had been observing for a long time and could not find any clue, so they ordered the sentry to continue to observe and leave the busy.

Wait until the next day when the morning fog on the sea lifts. In the distance, two ships began to slowly approach the elongated trestle.

This time, the pier was lengthened, and there was no reef around the docked area. The shells will only make a splash on the sea, and will have little effect. But the Dutch gunners didn't care, they decided that this time they must be accurate, and it was better to fight with men and ships! As long as the dense crowd and ships are constantly bombarded, the artillery will not be able to get off the ship smoothly, and it will be a victory!

But something strange happened to them again!

The soldiers on the beach actually made a couple of grotesque-looking large carts yesterday. The cart doesn't look like a wheelbarrow except for two wheels. Because his carriage was three planks placed in parallel with a slope. Between the outermost plank and the other two planks are stacked with sandbags!

There are a dozen cars like this. Each vehicle was propelled by ten tall and strong soldiers. The soldiers quickly dragged the cart, with sandbags on the slope, facing the castle and running along the pier towards the sea.

Nils, although not a military man, immediately understood what his opponent wanted to do? Those moving vehicles are like moving breastwork, and the cannonballs hitting the car will be absorbed by the sand, and there is no lethality at all except for the initial impact! The sailors of the opposing side can safely and boldly hide behind the car and hoist the artillery.
