Chapter 119: The Rebellion of Fujian (6)
A long time ago, Yushan Academy had studied how to deal with the plate armor of the Dutch.
This plate armor has a high level of defense, especially against feathered arrows, crossbow arrows, and lead bullets.
Especially when combined with a tall iron shield, as long as the iron shield is surrounded and the axe gun is outward, a movable steel fortress can be quickly formed.
With the steel fortress and the Dutchman's bull-like body, breaking through the enemy's formation was as easy as tearing through paper.
The only bad thing is when facing artillery.
If you are hit by an artillery shell, you will basically die a group.
Naturally, there won't be too much artillery on Fisherman's Island, and even if there were, it had been destroyed by the ship's artillery yesterday.
Therefore, after encountering the enemy attack, the Dutch immediately formed a turtle-like shield formation, preparing to break through the ambush area and then fight the pirates on the island.
Yushan Academy still has a lot of research on this kind of shield array.
Therefore, after Han Lingshan approached the shield array, he threw a grenade into the gap in the shield.
The grenade is very unfamiliar to the Dutch, so the grenade has plenty of time to explode in the shield array, and at the same time, the old thieves of Yushan who are ingenious also throw the grenade into the shield array.
After the explosions, the shield array was torn apart, and the fragments on the grenade could not necessarily penetrate the plate armor, but formed a metal storm in the small space.
Fragments can always find weak points in the plate defense after jumping back and forth on the shield, burrowing into the flesh of the enemy.
Coupled with the sound damage caused by the grenade explosion, the Dutch armorers staggered to the open ground with their ears covered, and they had to meet the dense rain of bullets.
Han Lingshan's 500 people shot as soon as the grenade exploded, and after the shooting, they rushed towards the Dutch armor with all kinds of weapons.
Halfway through the charge, dense grenades were thrown out again, and explosions filled the battlefield.
Last night, five hundred people could only get two red-haired ghosts to hack and kill, but today is different, one person is more than enough.
Except for a few tough Dutch officers who were able to staggering in battle, the rest of the Dutch either fell to the ground or ran around like headless flies.
The axes and spears they threw on the ground became the best weapons against the plate armor on their bodies.
The battle ended much earlier than Han Lingshan expected.
At the first moment, he brought more than twenty pieces of plate armor, put them on his own people, carried birds, axes and guns, and walked in a neat line to the shore, where the Dutch left a small team to guard the camp and supplies.
Han Lingshan spoke fluent Germanic as early as when he was in Yushan, and Dutch is just a local dialect born from Germanic language, and it is not a strange thing for him to master Dutch in more than ten days, and at the same time, this speed is not remarkable in Yushan.
Therefore, when Han Lingshan walked out of the coconut grove with a group of people dressed in Dutch plate armor and greeted them in Dutch, the team guarding the camp completely let down their vigilance.
Some curious Dutchmen also asked at a very fast pace whether the explosion just now had killed those yellow-skinned savages.
Han Lingshan said some nonsense that even he didn't believe in himself, and as he approached these people and surrounded them, his dagger pierced into the gap in the armor of the Dutch officer who was talking to him.
His dagger was so disciplined that it would make the Dutch officer lose all resistance without dying.
While the other Dutchmen breathed their last breath, Han Lingshan began to interrogate the four Dutchmen who had been left behind in order to ask for confessions.
He kept asking and asking, and kept asking until the four of them answered in unison, and then he killed them, and Han Lingshan began to wave the signal flag left by the Dutch on the shore according to his confession.
So, another group of Dutch reinforcements got off the big boat in a small wooden boat and went ashore to support.
The Dutch on the shore were roasting pigs, the aroma of food was overflowing, and the sailors who had specially transported Dutch soldiers ashore also came ashore to prepare a rare delicacy.
They didn't notice that the Dutch warriors who had been busy everywhere were approaching them.
After interrogating the sailors again, Han Lingshan felt that he should have a greater pursuit.
So, in the evening, he led a group of Dutch warriors who had successfully eliminated the pirates of Chen Liu, and set out for the big ship by boat.
When the Dutch on the armed merchant ship saw a boatload of their own men returning victorious, they greeted them with open arms, but when they got on board, they became yellow-skinned pirates.
Van Havel was one of the few Dutch people with a surname, and was naturally the leader of these two armed merchant ships.
After being captured, he tried his best to plead to the elegant Ming people, these captured people were already his property, and as long as the Ming people were willing, they could exchange these prisoners of war for a large sum of money.
The Ming man spoke with great manners, and sometimes even some beautiful poems in Latin, but such a cultured nobleman, while talking to her about the arrangement of the Dutch in the Far East and the customs of Holand, ordered his men to drag the prisoners of war to the side of the ship, brutally slit their throats, and then throw them into the sea.
Even Javier's beautiful maid did not escape the fate of being killed.
"So, sir, there are a lot of things you don't know, you don't even know how vast the Ming Kingdom is, you don't even know that the weakest thing in the Ming Kingdom is his navy, when the inland kings begin to pay attention to the sea, and begin to send his bravest subordinates to the sea, whether it is the Dutch, or the Spaniards, or the British, they will become the fish feed of this ocean."
Han Lingshan has no curiosity about red-haired ghosts, he once worked with a group of fat, thin, ugly, and beautiful red-haired people in a cake shop in Yushan for half a year in order to mix a mouthful of honey to eat.
So, he took a sip of the coffee that Javier had offered him, thanked him, and then asked the old thieves in Yushan to drag this guy down to bleed and feed the fish.
With two armed merchant ships and three lucky ships, Han Lingshan decided to go to Xiamen again.
After bombarding Xiamen with the artillery of armed merchant ships, which played a role in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, he immediately ordered someone to take these five ships to find Han Xiufen, he was a little tired, and prepared to go back to Yushan to rest for a while.
As it turned out, his idea was very immature.
So, he led the fleet to bombard all the ports along the coast of Fujian.
Finally, after quietly disembarking in Guangzhou, he witnessed the bombardment of the port of Guangzhou by the two armed merchant ships.
As soon as the cannon sounded, the port of Guangzhou jumped into flames, and the harbor was full of merchant ships that had been broken to pieces by artillery, and suffered heavy losses.
At this point, Fujian is in chaos!
And the two armed merchant ships and the three lucky ships sailed to Malacca with the remaining less than 600 Chaozhou patrolmen who had been trained hard by Han Lingshan.
When I returned to Han Lingshan, who was alone, I suddenly felt refreshed.
In addition to having a small bag of coffee beans on his back as a gift from Yun Zhao, he suddenly found that he didn't have any in his pocket.
However, this also did not bother him, although there were at least six commercial houses in Guanzhong in the port of Guangzhou, as long as he had his own seal, he could withdraw the money he needed from any of them.
He would have wanted to do that.
However, on the way to the firm, he suddenly saw that a firm was recruiting guys, and the guys who could go to the customs were available.
Therefore, Han Lingshan stepped into the firm without hesitation, and said in an authentic Guanzhong dialect: "Shopkeeper, can I be your guy?" ”
A bewitching woman lifted the curtain and walked out, looked Han Lingshan up and down, her eyes lit up and said, "Are you from Guanzhong?" ”
Han Lingshan said with a smile: "The little one is from Chang'an County, Guanzhong. ”
The woman said, "Are you familiar with the way to Guanzhong?" ”
Han Lingshan smiled honestly: "I don't dare to forget the way home." ”
"Will you catch a carriage?"
"I've been able to do it since I was a child."
"Okay, I'll accept you, a salary of 500 wen a month, including food and housing."
Han Lingshan nodded again and again and said: "Okay, good, what's the work, just tell me now, don't delay the work." ”
The bewitching woman smiled happily, raised her hand and patted Han Lingshan's strong chest and said, "It's a great young man, arrange the accommodation first, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow!" ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to Han Lingshan and followed her to the back.
Looking at the woman's round buttocks and water snake-like waist, Han Lingshan licked his lips and said in his heart: "This time it won't be so unlucky, right?" ”
Fisherman's Island stinks!
Shi Lang carefully searched and advanced on the island, the stench of corpses in front of him became more and more intense, and after passing through a coconut grove, he was stunned by the terrifying scene in front of him.
Behind the coconut grove was a puddle the size of two or three acres, which was now almost covered with flies and turned into a wriggling black flannel.
The stench was stinking, even if Shi Lang had covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, he was still dizzy for a while, and after throwing a stone on the black flannel, he heard a "boom", and flies jumped up into the air like a dark cloud, revealing the true face of the puddle.
Countless corpses floated in the puddle, and the shallow water was full of maggots, swaying in and out of the rotting corpses.
Some of the corpses were still wearing blistered leather armor, while others were wearing tattered plate armor.
There are Ming people, but more people are Dutch.
Shi Lang vomited wildly, stumbled out of the coconut grove, and was about to hold the coconut tree to continue vomiting for a while, a string of viscous yellowish liquid dripped on his hand, he looked up, a mouthful of filth spurted out of his mouth like an arrow, and above his head, more decomposing corpses were hung......
The clear water kissed the beach, Shi Lang lay on the beach and kept sucking the sea water into his mouth and then spitting it out, no matter how he rinsed his mouth with salt water, the stench between his mouth and nose seemed to be there forever.
A hermit crab fled in a hurry, Shi Lang looked at the hermit crab running around on the beach without a house on his back, and looked down at the place where the hermit crab fled out of habit.
The waves carried away the sand, revealing a white, fresh-looking skeleton.
Another hermit crab emerges from the skull's eye socket and flees in disarray.
This time, the disgust in Shi Lang's chest disappeared instead.
He looked at the vast sea and muttered to himself, "Demon God, Demon God, what are you going to do?" ”
Naturally, the sea could not answer him, but only sent the waves to kiss his toes......
"If you don't kill me, do you want to use my mouth to proclaim your strength?"
