Chapter 328 This battle is really easy to win
Louise had no idea that he was in danger. But when he received the news that Zhao Jiabing appeared behind him, he was still stunned.
Where did these people emerge?
Then he immediately dispatched troops to block the attack, and at this time he was still full of confidence.
Then he was hit by Zhang Damazi.
"Sharpshooter, knock out those little cannons for me!"
When the Dutch moves, Zhang Damazi immediately knows that this is the "signal" he has been waiting for for a long time.
"Smack it..."
The sound of the rifled rifle was different from the smoothbore rifle, which came into Louis' ears. The latter's heart immediately skipped a beat and hurriedly looked up to look at the artillery position in front of the formation.
I saw a scene where he was furious.
The five artillery groups were all in chaos. Except for the corpses that fell to the ground, all the living people ran back with their heads in their arms.
What? You said this shouldn't be their performance. They should continue to bombard the opposite side with guns and shells?
Feel sorry.
The employees of the Dutch East India Company really do not have that strong inner self and professionalism.
"Fire—"
Zhang Damazi looked at the opposite position and smiled grimly.
He didn't have artillery in his hand? He just kept hiding before.
Now with a command, the cannon immediately roared.
Ten three-pound cannons were played together.
This is another artillery measurement system in Zhao Liang's hand. It is different from the Western "pound" and the current "jin" of Daqingguo. It is not the metric system, but the commonly used unit of measurement in the Chinese population in later generations 500g of market jin.
The measurement system of ten forwards and ten backwards is simple to use, which is much simpler than the current calculation of sixteen taels per pound, and is also easy to convert with the metric system.
Although the 'metric system' has not yet appeared in the true sense, it is just a theory proposed by others.
In 1670, Bishop Muton, Bishop of the Cathedral of St. Paul, proposed an easy-to-understand basic unit of length and weight. He used the arc length of the circumference of the earth surrounded by the equator as the basic unit, and added the basic unit to ten equal parts, and obtained a smaller basic unit. In addition, he also obtained the basic unit of time with a single unit length.
After the French Revolution began in history, Talleyran, an extremely treacherous vixen, proposed suggestions on reforming weight and measurement knowledge - should the revolution be reformed? It advocated that the pendulum that swings once a second is always set as the basic unit, and received universal support from the scientific community.
So there was the 'metric system' of 1795.
Zhao Liang prepared some things in advance, for example, he directly combined the current three feet into one meter, while one tenth of a meter is one decimeter, one cubic decimeter is one kilogram, and one kilogram is 0.5 kilogram.
So he doesn't need to touch the equator. That thing is too difficult for Chinese people today to understand, so it's a little more blunt.
Then after some comparison, we can roughly conclude that a pound in the West is roughly (50g) of one liang of one liang, while a pound of big green fruit is roughly 12 liang.
Therefore, the three-pound cannon used by the Army is less than a Western-style four-pound cannon. If the West really has this four-pound cannon.
The bronze cannons made of bronze and cut and polished with boring machines have a much lighter texture than cast iron cannons, and their performance is slightly better than that, and there is nothing to praise or criticize except for the cost.
And what Zhao Liang lacks the most now is silver.
Although he hasn't committed crimes again in recent years, just Zhao Liang's flowing water, some of the leaks in his hands are enough to keep the two secret gun factories.
The shells hit the Dutch array in intensive manner.
Louise, who was still full of confidence just now, was now shocked, and the three hundred musketeers behind him also changed their faces.
The Chinese hide rifled guns and artillery, and they tempted themselves here again and again. What is the ultimate goal? It is definitely not that they have no choice but to be beaten and are uncomfortable with the guns, but that they have made great plans.
He united the Chinese soldiers who had just appeared behind him. Louis is not an idiot, so he still doesn't understand why the Chinese people want to eat him in one bite.
The reason why they didn't open their bloody mouths as soon as they left Batavia was because they were afraid that they would run back to Batavia when they saw something was wrong.
Ten small cannons opened fire, and the three-pound shells were difficult to immediately take effect against serious fortifications, but what they had to deal with now was an uncovered flesh and blood body.
No one's body could withstand the bombardment of shells, but just one round of artillery fire, three hundred European musketeers were shaken.
Many people fell in the queue, and Louise heard a sarcastic sound and screamed repeatedly.
He was also a German veteran who participated in the Seven Years War. He knew that in this case, he had to have two options: attack immediately and retreat immediately.
And choosing to attack is obviously unwise.
His own artillery team was suddenly defeated by the riflemen, and the opponent suddenly pulled out so many artillery. These two changes were like two big stones pressing on their hearts, causing the morale of him and the musketeers behind him to slump. At this time, it is not a wise choice to direct them to attack a manor.
It was a manor, and the enemy had fortifications to rely on. Even if the walls of the manor were bombarded and incomplete.
And at this time, there were also gunfire sounds from behind them, which made Louis even more unable to calm down.
The 200 native musketeers he sent did not carry artillery.
This made him lose confidence in the indigenous people.
Naturally, I dare not get into a fight.
"Go back, back!" Louis shouted loudly.
Even if there were soldiers on the opposite side who had already begun to line up outside the manor, he would command the troops to retreat to the slope as soon as possible!
Avoid being attacked by enemies in front and behind.
At this time, the European musketeers and the natives who came out with them were all frightened by artillery shells.
Although there are not many casualties, their morale is seriously traumatized.
When they heard the order to retreat, they all were happy and retreated backwards.
As for the Zhao family, they didn't need the encouragement of the officers at all, and they were all full of morale.
"go ahead--"
Zhang Damazi pulled out his command knife in high spirits.
He was just a mud-legged person who couldn't even eat enough to eat. After following the Zhao family, he had a full meal. In his opinion, it was a great favor. Who would have thought that he would have gone to Nanyang thousands of miles away, leading thousands of people to fight, and easily won the battle.
Zhang Damazi felt that he had reached the peak of his life, and the ancestral tomb of the old Zhang family was smoking.
On the other hand, Zhou Dong was also leading the 500 soldiers of the Second Battalion, chasing hundreds of fleeing natives like sheep, and quarreling towards Louise.
This is the easiest and most difficult to deal with.
The defeated natives were driving back the main force of the Dutch soldiers, but the latter couldn't stop them even if they wanted to stop them. How could they stop them? The first battalion was pressing forward.
"It's really easy and labor-saving to win this battle."
