Chapter 537 Cannon Fodder

The four Dutch sailing warships that lost power are actually Garen ships.

Under the storm of the Ming Dynasty warship, it quickly turned into a super large hornet's nest and gradually sank into the sea.

Some lucky Dutlanders who were not killed by shells were struggling constantly in the water at this time.

"Come here, take all the turtles struggling in the water to me."

"yes"

The soldiers agreed and quickly pulled more than twenty Dutch people onto the warships.

Zhang Huangyan didn't want to care about their lives, but Li Dingguo asked someone to take them on a warship, which made Zhang Huangyan a little confused about Li Dingguo's thoughts.

This guy is never polite to foreign races when fighting wars, and almost doesn't leave any survivors. How could he suddenly become kind today?

As the saying goes, things will be impermanent, and Zhang Huangyan is very curious. He reached out and patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Marty, this is not your style of doing things! Don't tell us, you will start to treat prisoners preferentially now."

Li Dingguo smiled and looked at Zhang Huangyan:

"Preferential treatment of prisoners? Yes, this marquis will now treat prisoners. It is so pitiful to see how drowning they are in the water."

"Good boy, just pretend! When they killed my Chinese people, wouldn't the Chinese compatriots be pitiful?"

Zhang Huangyan didn't believe what Li Dingguo said at all. This guy is just a butcher. Will he be kind to foreigners? It's almost like cheating!

Zhang Huangyan was not quarrel with Li Dingguo, so he immediately sent an order:

"All warships obey orders, hit firepower, and use solid bullets and flowering bullets to flatten the Malacca coastal artillery batteries to our governor."

"yes"

Six armored warships, ten sail warships, and nearly thousands of naval guns immediately aimed at the muzzles along the coast of Malacca and began carpet bombing.

"Boom..."

...

Round after round of bombardment caused the smog to emerge along the coast of the Malacca Harbour, and the two turrets were quickly leveled by solid bombs.

The Netherlands soldiers and indigenous soldiers on the shore, even if they are lucky enough to avoid the bombardment of solid bombs, would be broken by the subsequent flowering bombs that exploded with flesh and blood and bones.

Zhang Huangyan held a telescope in his hand and kept staring at the coast. He could clearly see the Netherlands and indigenous soldiers who were bombed by artillery shells.

Until the end, no one could see the activity again, Zhang Huangyan hurriedly sent an order:

"Stop the shelling and the Army can land."

Hearing Zhang Huangyan saying that he could log in, Li Dingguo immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called his generals urgently:

"The Longteng Army landed immediately and prepared for battle."

"yes"

The intercom immediately heard the sound of Longteng Army’s hundreds of households, and then he saw ten sail warships rushing towards the seaside. The Ming army’s armored warships were not willing to fall behind, so they rushed towards the seaside.

This time the landing was very simple. The shore defenders were almost killed by the shelling just now. Even if they escaped, they were so scared that they retreated to Santiago Castle and would not stay outside.

It can be said that the Ming army successfully landed without any resistance at all, and the soldiers quickly set foot on this land.

At the Santiago Castle in Malacca, Malacca Governor Bo Tuo held up a single-tube telescope with his forehand and watched the Ming army land easily, his face turned into pig liver.

"The Ming army has landed and ordered all soldiers to quickly enter the battle preparations. Once the Ming army arrives at the city of Santiago, they will be shot and killed immediately."

"yes"

With Bo Tuo's order, the messenger immediately passed his order to every fort at Santiago Castle, and the Netherlands soldiers on the castle immediately began to fill in ammunition.

After about two incense sticks, the brigade of Ming troops appeared not far from Santiago Castle and was still in an array.

In fact, the number of Ming soldiers attacked Malacca this time was not large. The three thousand dragon flag troops plus one thousand five hundred navys had a total force of more than 4,000.

"Quick, adjust the artillery and bombard the Ming army camp with me."

It felt that the formation of the Ming army should be within the range of the artillery on the Santiago Fortress, Bo Tuo immediately ordered the artillery to be fired.

However, the Dutch artillery suddenly found that something was wrong. More than 20 Dutch soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the Ming army. These Dutch soldiers

Once Santiago Castle takes the lead in firing, it will definitely kill its own people. The Netherlands is not large in population and is scattered in the world. They will never allow firing at their own people.

When Westerners start wars, they generally do not kill prisoners easily, which causes Western soldiers to surrender once they lose.

When the war is over, they can exchange prisoners, and the prisoners will gain freedom again, which has become a trick of Western forces.

"Governor General, look, there are many Dutch people in front of the Ming army. Once they are fired, they will be cannon fodder. See how we should deal with the Ming army.

"Ma De, the Ming army is too bad. Pass my order quickly and don't fire."

After being prompted by his subordinates, Bo Tuo also saw the Netherlands soldiers in front of the Ming army. He was almost dizzy at the time and hurriedly ordered not to fire the fire.

The shelling of captured soldiers in the Netherlands was something that Bo Tuo dared not do no matter what, and the consequences were too serious.

Once the superiors know that even if he kills the front of the Ming army, he will be criticized in his own country and even sent to the guillotine.

Generally, the Ming army's array was outside the range of the enemy's artillery, but this time Li Dingguo ordered the Dragon Flag Army to arrange the array within the range of the opponent's artillery.

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly stopped Li Dingguo from his life-devouring approach:

"Mr. Marquis, withdraw from the red-haired artillery range and arrange it outside the range. This is too dangerous. Be careful of being taken away by the foreign devils."

Li Dingguo smiled:

"It's okay for the governor. I bet that the foreign devils dare not fire at the Ming army."

"Zhang Huangyan was shocked by Li Dingguo's decision, and his head was shaking like a rattle:

"Mr. Marquis, don't joke. This is definitely not possible. This is a bet with the lives of Ming soldiers. The emperor will never allow this."

Although Zhang Huangyan is the deputy governor of the Navy, he cannot control Li Dingguo. They are now in a cooperative relationship and can only try their best to dissuade Li Dingguo.

They were the Dragon Banner Army, which was the army supported by the emperor's treasury. Li Dingguo himself was the Marquis, and in that regard, he was better than Zhang Huangyan.

Li Dingguo knew that Zhang Huangyan was good for him and the Longqi Army, so he didn't care about Zhang Huangyan's tone. She waved her hand:

"Come, bring the red hairs up and let them stand in front of the formation to block the shells for us. I don't believe that the Dutch people dare to bombard their companions."

"yes"

The soldiers took the order and soon brought the captured foreigners to the scene and then let them stand in front of the Ming army.

Li Dingguo's slutty operation made Zhang Huangyan suddenly realize. He finally understood why Li Dingguo suddenly became kind-hearted. So that's it!

Seeing Zhang Huangyan, he couldn't help but give Li Dingguo a thumbs up:

"Mr. Marquis, I really didn't expect that you could come up with such a trick. Zhang Huangyan was so impressed by his body..."

Li Dingguo always felt that Zhang Huangyan was not praising him, but seemed to be mocking him. The dignified Marquis of the Ming Dynasty actually used such despicable tricks.
