Chapter 784: Sandwich Biscuits

***

The city of Batavia was three miles long and two miles wide, and its walls were mainly made of stone strips, and the gates were all over the city with strong turrets, nearly two feet high. It was the former Governor General Anthony. Fan. Dimon put his life's work into it.

Three years ago, Anthony. Fan. Dimon died in Batavia, but he left behind a fortified city with new European-style canals, castles, town halls, churches, Latin schools and markets, and the impregnable fortress of Batavia's harbor.

However, even the strongest fortress needed people to defend it, and Calant's army was completely wiped out outside Quanzhou Bay, leaving the current governor John Brown. Ma Suiju could only sigh that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The commander of the Qin Army's marines, Hu Dahai, with a thousand marines, bypassed the fortress in Batavia Bay and quickly advanced towards Batavia. Ma Suiju took care of one thing and lost the other, and he didn't know whether it was better to defend the fortress or retreat to defend the city.

In the white and bright city hall, the military commander Ferdinand said anxiously: "Your Excellency, please withdraw the soldiers guarding the fortress quickly, if you expect those native soldiers to defend the city, I am sure that the city of Batavia will not last for half a day." ”

"Captain Ferdinand, I also know this, but if the fortress is abandoned, the warships of the Qin army can sail directly into the port, and then drive down the Chirion River to the city of Batavia and shell the city."

"But Your Excellency the Governor, if the city of Batavia is lost, is it still useful to guard the fortress of the harbor?"

John. Ma Suiju felt that the top of his head was about to smoke, and he was so anxious that he turned back and forth in the hall, rubbing his hands constantly, this was a dilemma, and he really didn't know what to do.

Ferdinand said anxiously: "Your Excellency the Governor, the Qin army is about to fight under the city, and it will be too late if you don't make a decision." ”

"Captain Ferdinand, here, I'll leave two hundred men for you to defend the fortress. Evacuate 400 men and return to defend the city. ”

"So be it." Ferdinand didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed out the door.

A few hundred Dutch soldiers had just withdrawn from the fortress to Batavia, and a thousand marines led by Hu Dahai had also been killed under the city. At the head of the city, there are 400 Dutch soldiers as the backbone, plus a few thousand native servants, and the city can be called heavily defended;

John. Ma Suiju personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and all kinds of artillery at the head of the city were loaded with shotguns, just waiting for the Qin army to attack, and immediately bombarded indiscriminately, bombing the Qin army to the ground.

However, Jean John. Ma Suiju was shocked. A thousand Qin troops urinated in the wind on the city of Batavia, and after making a loud mockery, they turned around and went to the fortress in the harbor.

"Oh God! How I didn't expect it, it's over, it's all over! ”

Looking at the Qin army rushing away, John. Ma Suiju suddenly came to his senses that he had made a fatal mistake, and he couldn't help beating his chest in frustration.

From the landing of the Qin army to the killing of the city, the time is too short. There is no room for John at all. Ma Suiju thought about it a lot, and in his intuition, he thought that after the Qin army landed, it must have come to attack the city of Batavia. I never expected that Qin Jun would just go outside the city to pee in the wind, that sass

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come with me out of the city and support the harbor fortress. "John. Ma Suiju shouted. With three hundred Dutch soldiers and four thousand servants, he chased him out of Batavia.

The fortress of the harbor is mainly defended by warships entering the port, although it also has a certain defense capability on land. But the number of troops is too small, and if the Qin army launches a fierce attack by sea and land, the two hundred defenders will definitely be able to take care of their heads and buttocks.

Hu Dahai led the troops to run out of two miles, and the soldiers rushed up from behind, shouting excitedly: "General Hu, General Hu!" The red-haired ghost is out of town, out of town. ”

"Huh!" Hu Dahai's pants are still a little pee-stained, he took the lead in peeing in the wind just now, he laughed while sprinkling, but when he collected the gun, he moved a little faster and soaked a small piece of his pants. He looked back and said with a smile: "The red-haired ghost is dizzy, and he dares to go out of the city, saying, how many people have come out." ”

The little soldier who came to report the news replied happily: "General Hu, there are thousands, and almost all of them are out of the nest." ”

"Great, don't stop, don't stop, everyone, Liao Shangzhi, you take two hundred people into the coconut grove on the right, and when the enemy comes, let's attack back and forth, and serve the red-haired ghost out of the city, quick!"

"Yes, General!"

Deputy General Liao Shangzhi moved quickly, and immediately rushed into the coconut grove a hundred steps away on the right with 200 people, and soon disappeared into the forest.

Hu Dahai took the remaining 800 people and continued to run towards the fortress of the harbor.

Talking about John. Ma Suiju hurried out of the city, chasing after the Qin army in a hurry, and the team ran almost as fast as the scouts, and when the scouts arrived at the coconut grove where Liao Shangzhi was lurking, the team also arrived.

Seeing that the Qin army was still running wildly in front, more than a mile apart, eight hundred men and horses seemed to be about the same as a thousand, and it was roughly impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye.

In today's world, I am afraid that Qin Jun is the only one who usually trains ten miles of weight-bearing cross-country running every day. Ma Suiju they can compare.

Hu Dahai and they ran two miles, as if they were playing, John. Ma Suiju was out of breath, and his soldiers were the same, panting, his chest and abdomen rose and fell like a wind stove.

No, you have to chase if you're tired, the fortress is still six or seven miles away from here, and you can't hear it shouting here, if you put a gun, the fortress probably thinks it's the Qin army attacking the city. In case Ferdinand, who was defending the fortress, did not notice for a while and was directly rushed up by the Qin army, it would be over.

"Chase! Quick, the enemy is in front. ”

John. Ma Suiju led the army to chase out a mile further, and suddenly found that the Qin army in front of him was not running away, uh, no, they were still running, but the direction changed, and they killed them back instead.

John. Ma Suiju is a governor, not a general, in fact, he is not very expert in combat, and suddenly saw the Qin army hulala killing back, he was stunned for a moment, before he reacted, and suddenly shouted like a pig: "Hurry, queue, queue!" ”

At this time, there was no need to care much, and the three hundred Dutch soldiers hurriedly listed a three-stage firing formation, and when they lined up in formation, Hu Dahai and they did not run, but stopped outside the range of the muskets, shouting and jumping, so unhappy.

"Red-haired ghost, surrender obediently, you're finished!"

"It's not enough to just surrender, you have to send the most beautiful princess over and wait for our majesty!"

"Haha, that's it, if there is no princess, the princess can do it!"

"Say what? What the princess does, she wants the princess, and she wants to deal with it. ”

"Ouch, shoot, shoot me!"

"Lao Tzu took out the bird, if you have the ability, you can beat my bird, if you don't hit my bird, I'll use the bird to hit your girls later"

"Hahaha"

John. Ma Suiju and a dry Dutch soldier's eyes fell to the ground, and the originally tense scene turned out to be like this, Qin Jun stopped outside the firing range, like a group of clowns, screaming and jumping, jumping non-stop, and from time to time put a few empty guns into the sky, dazzling and dumbfounded.

This is the legendary Qin army with strict military discipline? This nonsense is worse than the servant army that has just been formed.

"Onward! Advance! "John. Ma Suiju shouted, and three hundred Dutch soldiers lined up in a neat formation, stepping in a neat pace, and began to advance with their guns in hand.

At this moment, a dense gun like a burst of beans suddenly came from behind them.

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

Liao Shangzhi's 200 men and horses, ghosts generally appeared behind the enemy, three firing formations, rows of tongues of fire erupted, bullets roared, puffed on the enemy behind, one by one blood holes burst open, blood splashed like rain, screams like a tide, the unprepared enemy fell down in rows, like cutting wheat.

The enemy army was suddenly attacked from behind, and there was a great confusion for a while, and those servants ran after them one by one, and the rain of bullets chased them, killing them to the point of crying and crying, and even the three hundred Dutch soldiers were in chaos.

"Oh God! Here's what's going on?" Ma Suiju was at a loss, his mind was blank, and only God kept calling him from heaven.

At this time, Hu Dahai's 800 men and horses jumping and jumping in front of him, like a trick, quickly listed the three-stage shooting formation, marched forward in unison, and shot while advancing, the 68-type rifle was loaded as fast as a smoothbore gun, and the gunshots were ringing endlessly, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the bullets were raining down.

John. Ma Suiju and them were like sandwich biscuits, they were attacked from both sides, they couldn't hold out for five minutes, and they immediately collapsed (to be continued......
