Chapter 538 Dragon Banner Sniper
Although Li Dingguo was good at using tricks in wars, most of them were killed strongly.
But the situation is different now. Faced with the artillery on the Dutch bastion, in order to reduce casualties under his command, he had to make a move.
But when I think about attacking Jelandzha, the Netherlands can use their women as the 3-bangs? It's a match with Jelandzhas! I bet they dare not bombard the captives of the Netherlands."
Zhang Huangyan had long observed the Santiago Castle in Malacca, and his defense was indeed the same as the Netherlands Gerland Cham City when they attacked Taiwan.
"Marty, it is indeed the same as the city of Relanzha. Our artillery cannot break through the walls, but they really don't dare to fire the fire. They haven't fired for such a long time."
Li Dingguo shook his head:
"With their soldiers as cannon fodder, the foreign devils will certainly not fire the cannon easily. The key is that we did not charge either. Once the Ming army rushed, the foreign devils might fire the cannon."
Li Dingguo said, waved to Liu Wenxiu:
"Second brother, you immediately disperse the snipers, use the help of trees and other bunkers to quietly pull the distance from the castle, and kill the gunners of the foreign devils."
Liu Wenxiu immediately stood at attention:
"I'll be sure, brother, don't worry, the sniper team will never let the foreign devils' cannons ring."
Liu Wenxiu took the order and immediately let a hundred sharpshooters quietly leave the large army and disperse into the woods on both sides.
Seeing the rifled rifle equipped with a scope in the Dragon Flag Army, Zhang Huangyan's eyes showed an envious look.
"Marty, when will you borrow a few dragon flag snipers to be instructors for our navy? The Ming Navy also needs such rifled gunners."
Li Dingguo smiled:
"You need to ask Your Majesty for instructions. The Dragon Banner Army is the military pay for His Majesty's inner treasury. I dare not make the decision!"
"Stingy, don't give me this trick. The commander of the Dragon Flag Army cannot even send a few people. You think I, Zhang Huangyan, is a three-year-old child."
Zhang Huangyan deliberately pretended to be angry and turned around and walked towards the back of the queue. His artillery was hidden behind the crowd.
Li Dingguo knew that this guy was not angry, he was just joking!
"Don't be angry, Lao Zhang, are joking with you. Let your artillery be ready. When Liu Wenxiu sends a signal, we will fire immediately. After taking down the Santiago Castle, we will send you ten instructors immediately!"
Zhang Huangyan was secretly amused, but he ignored Li Dingguo and issued an order to the artillery:
"Fill the ammunition immediately and pay attention to Liu Wenxiu and the others' signals. Once the signal is found, immediately bombard the Santiago Castle."
"yes"
Outside the trenches around Santiago Castle are dense forests and two steep cliffs.
It is about 260 steps away from Santiago Castle here, and it is difficult for people to climb up, let alone carry cannons.
The Netherlands were very relieved about this place and did not send anyone to defend, which gave the Dragon Flag Army a chance to attack the mobile phone.
The Dragon Flag Army has been training in the mountains and tropical rainforests for more than a year, so it is not difficult to climb such a small cliff.
Under Liu Wenxiu's personal command, one hundred Minglong Banner snipers successfully climbed up the cliff.
Liu Wenxiu lay on the cliff and looked at the Santiago Castle, and looked down at the city defense clearly. He grinned at that time.
"Brothers, quickly find your position and choose the castle artillery gunner and commander to kill in order.
Remember, you must select the target in order. Don’t target one gunner at the same time, and as a result, you will give other gunners a chance to fire."
Liu Wenxiu was worried that the snipers would fight randomly, so he set a fixed target for them. Two dragon flag snipers stared at one target and killed it in turn.
"Yes, general, don't worry, we will definitely kill the foreign devils as you ask."
Liu Wenxiu nodded and then said to a sniper beside him:
"Okay, Zhao Leiting, you can quietly touch the signal to the governor."
"yes"
In fact, when Liu Wenxiu and the others were moving quietly to the woods next to them, the sentry in the basin discovered this problem and immediately reported it to Bo Tuo:
"Report to the Chief Executive Officer, I found someone in the Ming army quietly crawling into the woods."
Bo Tuo immediately grabbed the telescope and looked at the Ming army. Sure enough, he found that a few Ming army had walked into the woods.
Seeing that they were not carrying heavy weapons, they were just carrying a musket, Bo Tuo didn't care:
"Don't worry about them, they should have gone to the woods to pee. If the Ming army launches a charge and fires immediately, we can only give up those naval brothers in order to protect ourselves."
"yes"
Seeing that Zhang Huangyan was ready to fire and was waiting for Liu Wenxiu's signal at any time, Li Dingguo turned around and looked at the Dragon Flag Army artillery behind him:
"The foreign devils dare not fire artillery. The Dragon Flag Army must bombard them hard. Don't talk about any martial ethics during the war. How about the mortar preparation?"
The Artillery General Flag answered immediately:
"Report to the general, and can launch artillery at any time."
"Okay, the main task of the navy is to bombard the castle walls and cause a psychological shock to the foreign devils. After they fire the artillery, you aim at the foreign devil soldiers behind the city walls."
"yes"
Seeing that the artillery was ready, Li Dingguo sent another order:
"Please note that when firing the cannon, you can quickly spread to both sides, and do not be accidentally injured by shells. Once the cannon sound is over, immediately charge towards the bastion and climb up to the bastion as fast as possible."
At that time, the artillery was straightforward and could not strike a parabola. As long as the city wall was not broken, it would basically not cause much damage to the foreigners in the bastion.
But the mortar is different. It can emit parabolas and is also highly explosive.
The Dutch musketeers and artillerymen who were ambushing behind the castle walls were all targets of mortar bombing.
"Bang...Woo..."
A signal flare rose into the sky and emitted several colors when it exploded, which looked very beautiful.
The Netherlands soldiers on the San Diego Castle looked up at the signal flares, and exclaimed from time to time:
"My God! What wasn't from heaven at that time, right?"
"No, it should be the fireworks released by the Ming soldiers. I heard that their fireworks can have many tricks..."
Faced with the signal of Ming army shelling, many Netherlands soldiers looked at the scenery instead.
"Boom..."
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly, a violent sound came, and fifty artillery pieces of the Ming army began to roar.
Fifty solid bullets bombarded violently on the earth walls of the outer wall of Santiago's prism.
Because of the protection of the outer earth wall, the shelling did not complete major damage to the bastion, but the city wall still caused a violent vibration.
At this time, Malacca Governor Bo Tuo understood what was going on and hurriedly sent an order:
"No, that's a signal of the Ming army launching an attack. Fire up!"
The Netherlands artillery on the Santiago Castle was immediately ready to ignite artillery to bombard the Ming army outside the city.
"Bang bang..."
Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and the Dutch artillery soldiers fell to the ground in a restrained manner with the gunshots.
Some of them had their heads blown out, while others had a huge blood hole on their chests and backs.
The sudden tragedy in front of him made the Dutch Governor Bo Tuo a little confused. He thought it was caused by the cannon flowering bullets.
"Quick... hurry up and fire the fire, and be careful to be concealed."
Of course, there would be no one artillery soldier in each artillery. The soldiers immediately picked up the torch on the ground and wanted to ignite the artillery lead.
"Bang bang..."
"Puff..."
