810 Greeting Gifts
The movements of the indigenous army are too great to hide from people.
Of course, Zheng Chenggong also saw it on the flagship, but he didn't care, but said: "It's just right!" ”
At this time, two Western-style sailing ships were already docking. The soldiers of the Ming army on the ship jumped off the ship one after another, and then went straight to search the camp of the Dutch, taking the lead in the follow-up army landing.
Zheng Chenggong did not wait for the soldiers who landed first to play the banner of "safety", so he asked his subordinates to wave the order flag and carry out the next military order.
Generally speaking, the follow-up troops can only land after the soldiers who landed first issue the "security" banner, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy and taken by surprise.
If you have just graduated from the Martial Arts Academy, it is estimated that this practice will be strictly adhered to. However, at this time, Zheng Chenggong is no longer a rookie on the battlefield, and he already has the ability to judge the situation and adapt to changes. Seeing the Dutch fleet fleeing before he saw it, and looking at the camp left behind by the Dutch with his binoculars, he had already judged that there was an extremely unlikely ambush in the Dutch camp.
On the battlefield, there is never something that is absolutely certain. Seeing that the natives were flocking over, Zheng Chenggong decisively skipped the fixed procedure.
As the flag was spoken, the warships on the inside of the harbor began to move to both sides, making way for a large passage to allow several large ships in the fleet to approach first.
It was the first time I had seen such a large ship. Although I have been shocked before, I am still very shocked when I see it again at this time. The warships of the Ming army are too big!
As soon as these large ships docked, sailors moved quickly and laid ashore with the wide planks that were available on board, and at the same time, the planks were able to hold each other in place. In this way, it is almost as if the ground is directly connected to the ship.
The soldiers of the Ming army who came out of the cabin turned out to be leading the war horses one by one and began to disembark in an orderly manner. However, on some boats, there were cannons with two wheels, and many Ming soldiers were pulling forward and pushing backwards, shouting slogans and moving neatly together. As for the soldiers of the Ming army who carried flintlock pistols on their backs, they lined up to get off the boat, which was very ornamental.
Although Labraka saw the momentum of the kingdom's army rushing over, as if it was all over the sky, and the momentum was very huge, but at this time, when he saw the scene of the Ming army getting off the boat, he didn't know where a confidence came out of his heart: In this battle, the Ming army will win!
Thinking of this, Laburaka became excited, and shouted to the translator in front of him: "This lord, please help me ask the marshal, what are we going to do?" ”
He had been chosen as the leader of the natives who accompanied the ship, so he was able to stand behind Zheng Chenggong and listen to orders at any time.
When the translator heard it, he helped him ask Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong listened, turned his head and glanced at Laburaka, and said with a smile: "You guys should watch the play first, you don't need it now!" ”
After saying that, he turned to observe the battle on the shore.
When Laburaka got the translator's paraphrase, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and it seemed that he could only watch from the wall. At this time, he felt the difference of the Ming army again.
If it was under the Portuguese, whenever the battle began, they would be the first to be driven up to consume the enemy, and would not leave them behind to watch the battle.
………………
The indigenous army is basically all infantry troops, except for some uniform uniforms, most of the infantry troops are wearing miscellaneous clothes, or simply naked. The only sign that they were soldiers was that they had a spear in their hands.
At this time, they scattered and ran away, the sky was full of dust, and the momentum was really very loud.
Another advantage of this is that as a killer war elephant, it is covered by the dust raised and cannot be seen from a distance, which can play a good role in raiding and killing the enemy.
Looking at all this, Rajsingh II couldn't help but feel very satisfied. This battle, probably under the momentum of the same hatred and hatred, whether it is his direct army or the armies gathered by various tribes, they are all fighting with their hearts.
Although the Ming army should have the advantage of guns, however, when the crowd disperses, how many people can be killed and injured by the guns of the Ming army. After the two sides engage, the gun is not as good as a burning stick!
This battle is still possible to win! Rajsingh II looked at all this and came to a conclusion in his heart.
However, at this time, seeing that the striker was already relatively close to the original Dutch camp, he concentrated and looked ahead.
At this time, suddenly, Rajesinghe II was surprised to see that a group of Ming cavalry rushed out of the original Dutch camp and charged back towards his army.
"This ...... I'm afraid there are more than a thousand rides, right? So many cavalry troops? Rajsingh II couldn't help muttering to himself, "How can the Ming army's warships hide so many cavalry?" This ......"
He was surprised, but he wasn't afraid. Because in Ceylon, there is no record of large-scale cavalry warfare at all, and he does not know what the use of large-scale cavalry will be.
I saw that those Ming cavalry were divided into two, and they did not charge head-on, but flanked the flank of the indigenous army. A part of the Ming cavalry, roaring past, spread their bows and arrows on horseback, and shot at the native soldiers who were running wildly; There was also a part of the Ming cavalry, after getting closer, they suddenly turned over and dismounted, shot "呑呑", and left after shooting; There were also some soldiers of the Ming army, who did not dismount at all, but just increased the speed of their horses and rushed to the flank of the indigenous army, and the momentum seemed to be desperate to crash into it, which frightened the running indigenous army, and it became chaotic at once. As a result, those Ming troops opened fire on horseback in the closest place, and it was still the kind of musket that would sound continuously.
The indigenous soldiers who were running were disturbed by the Ming cavalry from the side, and they were suddenly in chaos. The native soldiers who ran on the outside fled in fright. In this way, it not only blocked the direction of the running of the indigenous soldiers behind, but also made the entire team involuntarily begin to concentrate.
Seeing this scene, Rajsingh II's face was extremely ugly. At this time, the army had already rushed up, and he could not command it specifically, so he could only hope that he would rush to the original Dutch camp as soon as possible.
He was thinking about it, when suddenly, he saw a cannon with two wheels at the gate of the original Dutch camp. It's just that after the erection is there, the cannon is fired.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
One by one, the solid iron bullets roared towards the native army, and after falling to the ground, they continued to bounce until the kinetic energy stopped. In the blink of an eye, I saw that among the charging indigenous troops, a bloody ditch was plowed out.
In the dust, although you can't see the specific situation, you can hear all kinds of wails. It is conceivable that after being driven away by the Ming army, the army was densely packed, and it is estimated that there were many dead and wounded in such an artillery bombardment.
Seeing this, Rajsingh II couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. As was the case in the past, the army was to be withdrawn.
This time, however, he was wrong. After the advance of the army slowed down, he saw that he had moved again and began to charge again.
Seeing this scene, Rajsinghe II couldn't help but come back to his senses. This time, it was those subordinates who hated these Ming troops very much, so they must have used means to boost morale and continue to charge.
However, he had not yet had time to appreciate this act of bravery. At the gate of the former Dutch camp, groups of Ming soldiers crossed the artillery and began to line up in rows on both sides of the front of the artillery. Some of the Ming soldiers squatted there, some of the Ming soldiers squatted half-squatting, and some naturally stood up, forming a layered row.
This is a platoon gun tactic! For this scene, Rajsingh II should not be too familiar. Both the Portuguese and the Dutch used this tactic, resulting in heavy casualties among his men.
At this moment, the neighing of elephants was heard from the battlefield.
Hearing this, Rajsingh II couldn't help but be overjoyed, as long as the war elephants could withstand the attack of the platoon of guns, they would be able to rush into the camp of the original Dutch. And most of the Ming army is still continuing to disembark, and they can be caught off guard!
However, he quickly came back to his senses, the artillery of the Ming army was still there, how could the war elephants rush?
Just as he feared, in the dust, the war elephant showed a shadow, and when he saw the artillery of the Ming army, he roared again.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As the cannon rang out, the wailing of elephants came from the battlefield, and the elephants, who were still alive, could no longer be controlled, frantically turned to flee. They are all intellectually intelligent and know that they can't run any further.
As a result, the indigenous soldiers suffered. In order to avoid being trampled to death by war elephants, they began to flee in chaos.
However, as long as they dared to flee to both sides, they would encounter the blows of the Ming cavalry head-on. The foot soldiers who can't form a formation can't deal with the cavalry's charge at all. The galloping momentum of that war horse alone is enough to make ordinary people lose their guts.
This time, it can be said that before the actual fighting, the indigenous army could not bear it and fled.
If it had been in the past, since the Portuguese had no cavalry, they could have fled back as long as they ran fast enough.
But at this time, the more than 1,000 soldiers of the cavalry army immediately began to follow and kill, driving the indigenous army into a great rout, only hating that his father and mother had two legs less, and could not run past the war horse chasing after the four legs.
What is the easiest situation on the battlefield to harvest the enemy? When chasing and killing, he drew his saber and waved it lightly towards the enemy's back, which was a battle feat.
The pursuit of the Ming cavalry was not pursued until the mountain pass, and they returned to the seaside, and along the way, the dust dispersed, and the corpses of the indigenous soldiers were all ambushed.
"Daming Wansheng!" The cavalry soldiers held their sabers in their hands and shouted in high spirits.
When the officers and men of the Ming infantry army and the navy heard it, they also shouted and echoed: "Daming Wansheng!" ”
