It must be said that the surprise attack launched by Encos was undoubtedly successful.

After nightfall, the Dutch soldiers, who had a full meal, each carrying twenty pounds of explosives, quietly touched the artillery camp.

After a day of fierce fighting, the sergeants of the artillery battalion were all exhausted, and soon after dinner, they all fell asleep, leaving only a small number of sentries to be on guard.

It stands to reason that even then, it won't happen that people don't even notice it when they are touched under their noses.

But things in the world are so evil, after the early hours of the morning, it happened to start raining in the sky, and by the way, there was a muffled thunder, because when Ankos and a hundred soldiers and slaves sneaked under the cover of the heavy rain, the sentries who were guarding near the city wall did not even notice.

In the end, when they stormed the artillery camp, they were discovered by the sentry in charge of the guard, and it was not until the sentry gave a warning that the whole camp was alarmed.

But something even more unfortunate happened, when many gunners were ready to shoot with their guns, they found that the firing rate of the flintlock pistols in the rain was surprisingly low in haste, not even a percent, and the sergeants in the artillery camp did not know how many enemies had come, and for a time it was a mess.

Using bayonets and other weapons to maneuver with the sergeants of the artillery battalion, the Ankos scurried around the artillery camp positions and stuffed the gunpowder they had brought into the barrels of the artillery.

"Boom ......"

With a violent explosion, a twelve-pounder cannon was blown up into the air by a powerful shock wave and slammed to the ground.

"Good...... Go on, we can't take these guns away, but we have to blow them all up! ”

Seeing a cannon blown up in the air, Ancos in the dark night was so excited that his eyes lit up and he shouted loudly.

"Warriors, if you blow up all these cannons, the Governor's reward will make you live the rest of your lives comfortably, do you want beautiful women? Want to live in a nice house? Just blow them all up! ”

In the midst of thunder and lightning and heavy rain, the artillery battalions of the enemy, who do not know how many came, were in confusion for almost a quarter of an hour, and only then did they make an effective counterattack under the orders of officers of all ranks.

Dead wind lamps were lit, and torches and fires soaked in fire oil were lit, and soon the whereabouts of Ancos and his party were exposed to the firelight.

A group of sergeants under the leadership of the officer began to rush towards the Angos in an organized manner, this time the pressure on the Angkos suddenly increased, although they tried their best to resist, but to put it bluntly, they only had more than a hundred people, and the gunners of the artillery battalion were naturally inferior to the sergeants of the infantry battalion in terms of combat effectiveness, but under the advantage of more than ten times the number of people, they soon suffered more than half of the casualties of the Angkos.

A bloodied second lieutenant rushed to Onkos, who was directing the soldiers to stuff explosives into the barrels: "Captain, the number of the Ming army is too much, and our warriors are too dead and wounded, and we can't go any longer like this!" ”

Onkos looked around and asked, "Bliss, how many guns have we blown up?" ”

"Captain, we blew up a total of nine, most of them twelve-pounderers, and only one twenty-pounder gun."

"Why so little? And it's all small-caliber artillery? Onkos's brows furrowed, although he didn't dare to hope that he could destroy all the artillery of the Ming army, but in his mind, it was normal to have to blow up at least seventy or eighty guns, but the current situation did not match his imagination.

"Captain, it's quite a few."

The second lieutenant smiled bitterly: "The artillery of those Ming people is placed separately, especially those thirty-two-pounder guns, all of which are placed in the center of the artillery position, and the guards there are also the strictest, and our people can't charge it at all." ”

"Bang ......"

There was a muffled sound in the heavy rain, and I don't know which lucky one's firebolt could still be fired in such weather.

"Rush, ......"

"Kill those red-haired devils!"

Shouts of killing sounded all around, and it was clear that the Ming army was getting closer and closer.

The second lieutenant looked around, there were less than thirty soldiers and more than a dozen slaves, and he was a little anxious: "Captain, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late." ”

"Let's go!"

Oncos looked around, and finally gave the order to retreat, and soon he began to evacuate the battlefield with the remnants of the soldiers, and on the way to retreat, he lost a lot of men, and when Onkos withdrew to the city of Geranza, he was left with only a dozen soldiers and three slaves.

It was dawn and the rain stopped.

Yang Feng hid his footsteps and slowly walked on the artillery camp position.

Looking at the artillery lying around him, his face did not show any expression, and he seemed very calm.

Around him, more than a dozen generals such as Qiu Disheng and Geng Bingyi were guerrilla in the artillery battalion, and everyone's expressions were very unsightly, especially Qiu Disheng, whose face was even whiter.

Although Yang Feng did not scold his mother on the spot, those who are familiar with his temper know that it is Yang Feng in this state who is terrifying, which shows that he is already on the verge of anger and may explode at any time.

"Nine artillery pieces, nine guns were blown up, and more than sixty sergeants were killed or wounded, Qiu Disheng, you can really do it! Are all your artillery battalions dead, and you haven't noticed it when you've been touched in front of you?

Next time, will someone touch your bed and take your head off, don't you know? ”

Yang Feng's voice was still very calm, and he couldn't hear a trace of anger.

Qiu Disheng gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee: "Master Hou, this is all the fault of the lowly position, and the lowly position accepts any disposition from you!" ”

"Disposition?"

Yang Feng snorted coldly.

"Since your mind is no longer here, then you don't want to be a guerrilla in this artillery battalion, hand over the command to your deputy, and you can go to the medical battalion to be a hundred households."

Everyone let out an exclamation in unison, Qiu Disheng can be regarded as an old man who has followed Yang Feng for many years, and he finally survived to the guerrilla general, and now he has been demoted to the medical battalion as a small hundred households, this punishment is too ruthless.

Geng Bingyi arched his hand towards Yang Feng and said: "Master Hou, Qiu's guerrilla attack is also an unintentional mistake, you can go around him, and it is good to let him make meritorious contributions." ”

"Spare him?"

Yang Feng's thick eyebrows raised and he sneered.

"Then who will spare the dead sergeants, and who will be responsible for the losses of last night? Is it you, Geng Bingyi, or me, or you? ”

All the generals were silent, what was on the battlefield could not be false at all, and whoever was responsible was responsible.

The reason why he was caught off guard last night was because the sudden rainstorm helped the Dutch a lot, but the sentry and vigilance of the artillery battalion were not in place was also an important reason, and Yang Feng's punishment was actually not a problem at all.
