At the sound of an order, more than 3,000 people and horses in the Fengjie battalion were divided into 21 strands with the bureau as a unit, and each of the 100 people resisted two trench bridges and two long ladders and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

The high morale of the Ming army and the large number of troops made the Dutch on the fort frightened, but the two armies faced each other, it was useless to be afraid, if they did not kill the Ming people, the Ming army would have to kill them, and they would never show mercy.

Less than 500 musketeers were leading the broken stone walls for cover, while the Dutch soldiers lined up with standing or crouching on the stone walls, their muskets loaded with ammunition and their muzzles looking for their targets.

The Ming soldiers were scattered on the hillside in the bureau as a unit, Zhang Yiguo led his subordinates, followed behind the hundred households with the cat's waist, climbed along the messy hillside, and from time to time there were gunshots above his head, and the soldiers behind him were occasionally hit and rolled down the hillside.

At this time, the Ming army had not yet reached the mountainside, the distance was too far, and the Dutch on the fort, although they kept aiming and shooting, but there were very few projectiles that could hit the Ming army.

Zhang Yiguo and others groped all the way with the army, and slowly reached the mountainside, and at this time, several soldiers in front of the Ming army were immediately shot in the chest, and were put down by the Dutch, screaming and rolling down.

"Shield!" The Qianhu official of Jiaqian fired a handcuff to the top of the mountain and shouted loudly.

The shield players in each bureau immediately shouted and climbed upwards, rushed to the front, and protected the soldiers behind them.

After a large number of redresses, the Ming army found that the shield was actually useless in the face of the self-generated firearms, but the Ming army still retained this weapon, because the surrounding enemies were not equipped with a large number of firearms.

Li Dingguo knew that the Dutch muskets were powerful, so he made a little improvement to the shield of the Ming army, that is, a layer of wet cotton cloth was wrapped around the shield, but this could only prevent the musket from fifty steps away.

With the shield hand guard, the casualties of the Ming army were a little smaller, and the soldiers behind lifted the long ladder that fell to the ground and continued to move forward.

The Ming army took the bureau as a unit and scattered the attack, so the Dutch did not bombard with guns, but shot freely to kill the Ming army who climbed the mountain.

At this time, the Ming army was less than 200 steps away from the fort, and it was difficult to see that most of the bullets fired by the Netherlands were blocked by the shields of the Ming army, and they hit "popping" sound, and did not cause much damage to the Ming army.

The Dutchmen surrounded a short-barreled cannon, one of them filled the gunpowder, and the other loaded the iron sand and gravel into the barrel, and then several people lifted it together, pressed down the muzzle, and the cannon erupted, and suddenly a fan-shaped rain of gravel and iron sand appeared.

The troops in front of the Ming army were hit by the scattered bullets and fire of the Dutch, and immediately fell to the ground in pain.

The Ming army, who was protecting the vital point with a shield, was hit head-on by a scattered bullet, and the part protected by the shield was fine, but the face and hands were hit by iron sand and dense pits, drenched in blood, and fell to the ground with wailing.

The appearance of the soldier's injury made people shudder.

The bullets of the Dutch and the scattered bullets from the artillery formed a dense net, and the soldiers of the Ming army charged forward in this net.

As the distance got closer, the casualties of the Ming army increased, and the Qianhu officer saw the front row of soldiers constantly falling to the ground, and suddenly shouted, "Rush!" ”

At the sound of an order, the flag shook, and the Ming soldiers, who were slowly climbing the slope while preserving their strength, suddenly increased their speed.

Zhou Yiguo commanded his subordinates, and soon rushed to the front of the fort, he and the non-commissioned officers of the firearms group immediately knelt on one knee, raised their guns and shot at the wall, and the four soldiers carrying the long ladder erected the long ladder, directly across the trench, and set it on a half-collapsed stone wall.

As soon as the ladder was raised, a group of Dutchmen crouched in the gap and fired a volley of guns, two of the four Ming soldiers were beaten and fell into the ditch, and the other two fell on their backs like chaff.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiguo hurriedly raised his gun and shot at the gap, killing three Dutchmen, but the Dutch behind him immediately stepped up and knocked down the two gunners beside him, and he was also shot on his iron helmet.

Seeing that the Dutch firepower blocked the gap, Zhou Yiguo turned around and suddenly roared, "The firearms group suppressed, and the killer group threw earth-shattering thunder!" ”

Hearing the sound, a team of 12 musketeers led a formation of three rows of shooting, and the two Ming soldiers took out two fist-sized earth-shattering thunderbolts from the cloth pockets hanging from their waists, and in the other hand they lit the lead with a fire fold, and rushed to the gap.

One of them threw hard, and then immediately lay down, and the other was just about to throw, when he was hit by a bullet in his body, and his strength was discharged, and the earth-shaking thunder was thrown into the ditch.

Two earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded at the same time, one overturned the six Dutchmen in the gap, and the other exploded in the trench, breaking their own ladder, and the rubble accumulated after the collapse of the stone wall in the ditch was blown up, and a rain of stones fell.

Zhou Yiguo shook his head, shook off the dust, and saw that the Dutch in the gap was empty, and immediately shouted, "Up!" ”

Four Ming soldiers hurriedly resisted a long ladder, erected in the gap, the Ming soldiers hurriedly stepped on the long ladder, rushed into the smoke and dust, the first few soldiers just climbed the stone wall, the sharp Western sword stabbed head-on, the front two soldiers were stabbed, screaming and falling down the trench.

The Ming army next to him immediately stabbed with a spur, and stabbed the one-foot-long spur in front of the pole into Heyi's body from the gap in the side of the Dutch cuirasse.

At this time, the soldiers of other bureaus of the Ming army also arrived at the stone walls one after another, and the long ladder crossed the trench, looking for the stone wall destroyed by the Hongyi cannon, and began to attack.

After all, the Ming army was several times larger than the Dutch, and the soldiers were all over like ants, but as soon as the Dutch had their advantage, the plate armor of the West could indeed be said to be the ultimate in the era of cold weapons.

The Ming army's war knives are difficult to break through the armor, and it is better to stab them and find the gaps to pierce them.

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been attacking cities for many years, and the experience of storming cities is not small, and this fort is just a small city. Once the Ming soldiers arrived at the bottom of the fort, they either climbed along the ladder or raised their guns to shoot for cover, and the Ming army quickly waited for the city wall by virtue of their numerical superiority.

The shooting of firearms has become a progressive fight, and Westerners hold the most advanced firearms and wear armor that can protect against cold, so it is no wonder that they can dominate the world. This offense and defense are the best things at the moment, and ordinary countries have no way to pre-empt them.

At this time, a large number of Ming troops climbed the stone wall, but there were still Dutch people hiding behind the stone wall, shooting and killing the soldiers who crossed the trench to enter the city, and the Ming soldiers who flocked to the city fell from the long ladder to the trench like beating dates.

"!" Zhou Yiguo saw that his subordinates never broke through the gap, and the soldiers were constantly shot down with muskets by the Dutch on the stone walls on both sides.

He roared angrily, raised his spear and stuck it in his own gun, and saw the two Dutchmen rushing up the long bridge with a long pole after firing a shot. He knew that he could be shot at any time, so he was extremely fast, but there were still projectiles passing by him, startling him into a cold sweat, and he was still four or five steps away from the stone wall, so he jumped directly from the long ladder and landed on the collapsed stone wall.

As soon as he landed, he did not rush forward, but stepped on the gravel, held the gun in both hands, and climbed towards the collapsed stone wall.

Zhou Yiguo took a few quick steps and climbed up the collapsed slope to the top of the wall. A Dutchman, who had just loaded his ammunition, saw that he was startled in the face, and was about to raise his gun to shoot him, when he stepped forward, flicked the musket with his musket, and then lifted the butt up and struck the Dutchman in the forehead, and the blade hidden in the butt immediately cut the Dutchman's face.

The Ming Dynasty's fire guns, in addition to the spurs, also hide a blade leaking about an inch in the tail of the gun, which can improve the fighting ability of the Ming army in close combat.

The Dutchman's face was cut open, and he immediately let out an inhuman scream, covering his face and falling to the ground, another Dutchman who was shooting under the wall heard the scream, turned his head, and immediately pulled out a slender cross sword, but Zhou Yiguo did not hesitate to raise his gun with a shot, and the projectile hit the Dutchman's breastplate dented, and his body flew out upside down, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Several Dutchmen suddenly exclaimed in surprise when they saw this, and it turned out that this person was indeed the commander of the fort, and one of the Dutchmen immediately helped him up and retreated.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiguo knew that he had met a big fish, but he was not in a hurry to chase after him, and when he faced a few shots from the Dutch, he could only roll and dodge a blow.

At this time, the soldiers who followed him to the high wall on the side immediately raised their guns and returned fire, killing two Dutchmen.

As Zhou Guoyi occupied the high wall on one side of the collapse and reduced the pressure on both sides to the gap, the Dutch could not withstand the continuous attacks of the Ming army, and were finally broken open by the Ming army.

The Qianhu official who commanded outside the wall, when he found the breakthrough, immediately waved his hand, "Rush in from there!" After speaking, he poured into the gap with a hundred people behind him.

At this moment, on the No. 2 battery in the distance, there was a sudden burst of cheers, but it was the troops commanded by Chen Youlong who attacked the No. 2 battery first.

"!" The Ming army who rushed into the gap couldn't help but curse, and suddenly accelerated the pace of the attack, let the Ming army of one banner control the gap, and led the soldiers of a bureau to advance rapidly.

Zhou Yiguo didn't know when, he had already been shot, but he kept going, chasing and killing until the edge of the fort by the sea.

At this time, the Dutch had fled on all fronts, fleeing to the hillside by the sea, Zhou Yiguo caught up, but suddenly found that several warships were parked at the dock under the fort, and four or five hundred Dutch were quickly climbing upward, which was estimated to be the reinforcements sent by the main fort when he saw that the fort was not guaranteed.

Zhou Yiguo saw that the depiction was difficult to escape downhill, and the reinforcements of the Dutch, but to the mountainside, he hesitated slightly, immediately let out a loud roar, lost the fire and pulled out the sword and chased down, he kicked a Dutchman who was holding the difficult depiction to roll down, and then grabbed the armor behind the depiction with one hand, aimed at the back of his neck, and cut off his head with a knife.

At this time, the general manager of the Ming army also chased over, and when he saw the Dutch who were climbing up, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and even shouted loudly, "Beat them down!" ”

The Ming army immediately squatted and hit a row of guns, knocked down several Dutch soldiers in front, screamed and rolled down, and then, taking advantage of their confusion, they rushed down the mountain with a roar, trying to drive the Dutch into the sea.
