Liu Xiang knew that the Zheng family must have firecrackers, but he didn't expect there to be so many firecrackers. Judging from the sound, there must be at least a hundred of them. But fortunately, the Zheng family did not have cannons. In front of the Dutch cannons, the firecrackers

Just a scumbag.

He ordered his men to gather those who had been scattered. Although they were frightened to death, they were still human beings, and as long as they were human beings, they could be squeezed out.

Looking back at the Dutch warships, groups of Dutch soldiers had begun to land. There were noisy Dutch commands on the pier, and the soldiers quickly stood in a row under the commands.

This is the army. Liu Xiang looked at those ants-like people. Then he looked at the Dutch, and he despised his own yellow skin.

Kuiyi already knew that there were officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty inside the Zheng family mansion under siege. However, he was not afraid. If he wanted to gain control of the South China Sea or even the East China Sea, it would be impossible without colliding with the Ming Empire. When he set out, he had already obtained the king of the Netherlands.

With the authorization, you can start a war with this ancient oriental country.

Groups of Dutch soldiers finished lining up, and Liu Xiang walked to Kui Yi's side.

"The Zheng family has a lot of firecrackers, and those courtyard walls are very strong. They need artillery!"

"That's no problem! There will be artillery support." Kui pointed at the warships behind him. Each of these new warships has forty cannons. When the cannons fire, the shells will rain like rain.

Kui Yi felt that just one attack could destroy the Zheng family's defense. That kind of wall made of bricks and stones was not worth mentioning in front of artillery.

Li Xiao, who was standing on the watchtower, saw the Dutch starting to disembark. He stretched out his right arm and raised his thumb high. Then he shouted a few words to the people below!

"Bang", "bang", "bang", "bang"...! Ten mortars fired at the same time, and the shells with a whistle sound smashed into the Dutch team who were forming a team.

Hot shrapnel flew in all directions under the influence of explosives, and many tall Dutch soldiers were blown up. Their red uniforms and white trousers were very eye-catching in the air.

Before Liu Xiang understood what was happening, he was knocked to the ground by a flying Dutch soldier.

"What the hell!" Liu Xiang roared and he couldn't even hear it.

The shelled pier immediately looked like an ant nest scalded by boiling water. Dutch soldiers were running in confusion, shouting "wow" and "wow", and some were kneeling on the ground, holding crosses in their hands and praying devoutly!

The rate of fire of the mortars was astonishing. In a short period of time, each gun completed ten rapid fire rounds. If it were not for the limited ammunition, Li Xiao would have wanted to shoot him ten more rounds.

Zheng Zhilong was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He heard Zheng Sen say that this thing was powerful before. But he didn't expect that this thing was so powerful. From the Zheng family mansion to the dock, there is a full two or three miles away. This thing can actually dig

Inside the pit, it hit the dock directly.

I saw with my own eyes the bloody scenes of Dutch soldiers under the flying shrapnel. In this round of shelling, at least four to five hundred Dutch people were killed or even more. When the shelling started, these unlucky guys were forming a team. Standing

It has to be neat and tidy, like a target to be bombed.

"Stop looking! Get down!" Li Xiao took one last look at the pier and walked into the yard with Zheng Zhilong.

"Why don't you attack the red-haired ghost's warship?" Zheng Zhibao asked impatiently as soon as he got off the watchtower.

"The time hasn't come yet." Zheng Zhilong responded, and followed Li Xiao into the shell-proof hole dug in the past few days.

Zheng Zhibao didn't understand why the time didn't come, but he saw Zheng Zhilong and Li Xiao getting in. He also got into the anti-gun cave!

Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong have not been idle these days. The Zheng family's mansion is like ten thousand marmots passing through. trenches and holes of all sizes have been dug out. Mortars and trebuchets have been placed in the holes.

Inside, any level-firing weapon would be useless against them.

"Fire!" Kui Yi yelled angrily. He didn't want those stupid people to think that this was God's punishment and this was shelling. Although he didn't know what kind of artillery it was, Kui Yi clearly knew what it was like.

Now he regrets that he did not bombard the Ping Zheng family's mansion immediately. He always wanted to save ammunition and save ammunition. Now, he has tasted the bitter consequences of saving ammunition.

The Dutch warships docked at the dock fired at the Zheng family mansion almost simultaneously. The towering tower was the best target, and the solid tower was instantly shattered into pieces by countless powerful iron balls.

"Anti-artillery!" Li Xiao shouted and got into the anti-artillery hole. There were constant sounds of stones smashing into the soil above his head. It didn't take much to think that taller buildings had been hit by artillery shells.

The soldiers of the guard company got into the gun-proof holes without waiting for Li Xiao to speak. These gun-proof holes were dug horizontally on the walls of the trenches according to Li Xiao's instructions. Therefore, there was no need for a roof at all.

Zheng Zhilong's men were still confused. Although they had held two artillery drills in the past two days, no one took it seriously. The bricks and tiles scattered everywhere and knocked down many people immediately. Most of them had their heads smashed by gravel.

He was hit by a tile and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Zheng Zhibao just didn't understand why he had to come down from the tower. Now that he saw the tower with only its base, a layer of white sweat broke out on his back. If he were still staying on the tower now, he would definitely die than a pig.

Ugly.

"Stop shooting! This is a waste of ammunition!" Kui Yi gritted his teeth. His artillery was a flat-firing artillery. Because of the shooting angle, it could only hit taller buildings. Because there were other people blocking it, Zheng was basically blocked.

The strong courtyard wall of the family did no harm. It could only destroy the Zheng family's watchtower and several taller buildings.

"You can push the cannon to the shore!" Bobby immediately reminded Kui Yi.

"I know!" Kui looked at Bobby as if he was looking at a fool. He didn't know it yet, could he push the cannon to the shore?

"Order the York to hoist two cannons, oh no! Come down with three cannons!" Kuiyi chose a warship that was farthest away. He was afraid that he would be hit by artillery fire again while hoisting it.

The Dutch soldiers were huddled on the ship and did not dare to get off the ship. Those who had already disembarked were working hard to rescue their comrades. Many people were killed directly, but even more were injured.

Many people had small shrapnel embedded in their bodies. The shrapnel was not big, but there were a lot of them. The officers also found a huge number of steel balls at the scene, which were hit by the strong explosion and hit the people's bodies.

, it will be immediately wrapped by tight muscles. As soon as a person moves, he will cry out in pain like a slaughtered pig.

To this day, no one knows what exactly hit the soldiers. The priest accompanying the army has already disembarked from the ship and began to pray for the dead soldiers.

The Dutch soldiers had no choice but to land far away from the dock.

Every ten or twenty minutes, Li Xiao would fire one or two artillery shells in the direction of the dock. It didn't matter whether he hit anyone or not, but what was important was to make the Dutch people tremble. I didn't know when another one would come.

Cannonballs.

They were harassed like this until three o'clock in the afternoon. Only about a thousand Dutch soldiers disembarked and assembled! After a lot of effort, they hoisted three artillery pieces from the warship. The gunners pushed the cannons, trembling with fear.

left the dock.

They have heard that the other party has a kind of ghost cannon. If you are not careful, you will be killed by that thing.

"Listen to me, whoever is the first to rush into the Zheng family's mansion will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for killing a member of the Zheng family. A reward of fifty taels of silver will be given to whoever rushes into the Zheng family's mansion first. The reward is 10 taels of silver. The silver is here

Here, wealth and honor are found in danger. If you don’t want to be a dwarf mule, just risk your life.”

"Wow!" Liu Xiang kicked down a box of silver, and two ounces of silver ingots rolled all over the floor.

"Gudu!" The cannon fodder swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

"Kill in, and you will get money when you come back. With the money, you can buy a house, land, and sleep with beautiful women." Seeing that the cannon fodder did not move, Liu Xiang shouted another very tempting slogan.

"Damn it, I'll do my best!" A cannon fodder threw his hat to the ground, pocketed a piece of silver, and angrily walked towards the entrance of the alley.

Where there is the first, there is the second. Then there is the third...!

Pieces of silver were picked up and put into pockets, and there were more and more people at the corner of the alley.

"Old man, why don't you take any money?" Liu Xiang glanced at an old man with gray hair leading a child.

"If you don't care about your life, why do you need money?" The old man smiled helplessly, dragging the young man beside him to the back of the line.

"You don't need money, why are you risking your life?" The person next to him sneered, his face full of contempt.

"Do you think you can just stop going if you don't want to?" The old man glanced at the Dutch soldiers holding guns not far behind him, as well as Liu Xiang's men holding ghost-headed swords.

"You will die if you take the money, and you will die if you don't take the money. Our lives will be handed down here today. It's just a pity for my son!" The old man touched the young man's head miserably.

"Hmph! You old guy is quite a thief." Liu Xiang snorted and shouted loudly: "After you take the money, you have to work hard. If anyone has diarrhea and runs away, don't blame me for being rude."

"Kill!" The person who took the lead in taking the money saw Liu Xiang with a murderous look on his face. He raised the knife in his hand high, yelled and rushed towards the Zheng family mansion with a desperate cry.

"Kill...!" The role of the leader is very obvious. In many cases, as long as there is a leader, the rest of the people will easily follow blindly.

The shouts of killing rang loudly, and a group of people rushed up along the street again. Anyway, it was death, so why not fight for it, and maybe take the opportunity to make a fortune.

No one noticed that the guy who was leading the charge ran slower and slower. He was finally overtaken by others, and just when he was trying to get into a corner, he felt a chill on his back and a spear came out of his chest.

"You bastard, you are fooling a bunch of men to die. I will stab you to death first!" The gray-haired old man had bloodshot eyes. The young man stretched out his hand and touched the money in the man's arms.
