Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 38 Breaking the Wall
"Advance! Cover the artillery and blow open the city wall of Batavia for me!" Bai Mingxiu ordered, and the "Batavia Attack Force" temporarily formed by the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army, which had been waiting for a long time, took action.

Batavia is a very typical colonial town. In order to defend against the attacks of Mata Lansutan and Banten Sultanate, Batavia built a moat and walls, and set up cannons on the walls.Inside the walls is the town, and Batavia Castle stands by the sea.

It can be said that the city of Batavia is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Bai Mingxiu really doesn't care much.

Beside Bai Mingxiu, apart from Sister Shi, the "personal female official", Li Sixing, the son of Li Dingguo, and Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, were also beside Bai Mingxiu.

Li Sixing was ordered by his father to visit Australia and take care of His Highness the Crown Prince.As for Bai Wenxuan, it was actually more like losing his military power and becoming a political fringe person. Bai Mingxiu took him with him to see if he had any other appointments.

Both Li Sixing and Bai Wenxuan were surprised that Australia had "sent people" again, and after Bai Mingxiu received the thousand soldiers, he immediately threw himself into the battle to capture Batavia.

"King Gongchang, I'll leave it to you to command the artillery." Bai Mingxiu had given Bai Wenxuan a new job at this time.

Bai Wenxuan was in Ava during these days, and like Li Dingguo, he was also concentrating on studying the art of war in the Western Continent.Since the Restoration Army of the Ming Dynasty is now firmly controlled by Bai Mingxiu, the situation in which a general can decide the ownership of an army in the past obviously cannot happen again. Bai Wenxuan still has great ambitions, so he can only submit to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Bai Wenxuan clasped his fists and said, "The last general will definitely fulfill his mission."

Looking at Bai Mingxiu's ups and downs these days, Bai Wenxuan has completely lost his temper.Now the Nanming Group has fully recognized Bai Mingxiu's demonic abilities, and Bai Mingxiu also has the full support of "Australian forces", so no one can shake his status as the prince's superintendent.

Bai Wenxuan went to work with the artillery. The artillery from the American Civil War era in the game "Ultimate General: Civil War" used the Napoleon cannon, the "standard artillery" of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army.Bai Wenxuan ordered the artillery to line up at the front of the position, aim in the direction of the Batavia city wall, and immediately began shelling.

When the artillery of the Ming army opened fire, the walls of Batavia were still not ready for battle, and even the artillery on the walls were not in place.

Fierce 12-pound gunfire enveloped the city walls of Batavia, but the Dutch managed Batavia with care. Although the shelling caused relatively large damage to the city walls, they did not completely collapse the city walls of Batavia. .

Bai Mingxiu tilted his head and said to Sister Lion beside him, "It looks like I really have to let you go."

Sister Lion showed a beautiful smile, and replied: "The concubine is already ready."

The lion sister stayed away from the Ming army without anyone noticing. She re-equipped her turret, then pointed at the city wall, showed a contemptuous smile, and said: "Destroyed in ashes, Dutch."

Even after being weakened, the 406mm cannon was still brewing with terrifying power. A burst of violent fire and smoke splashed out from the three triple-mounted turrets of the Lion Lady, and the terrible shells directly hit the walls of the Batavia city wall. The direction of the main entrance.

"Boom!" This section of the city wall actually collapsed, and the Dutch soldiers and cannons on it were either blown to pieces or fell straight down.

Bai Mingxiu looked at Sister Lion's powerful shelling, and his heart was surging: "As expected, it is indeed a giant cannon of a battleship, haha."

"Enter the entire army into Batavia and defeat the Dutch!" Bai Mingxiu ordered loudly, and his infantry and cavalry began to charge, rushing into the city of Batavia through the gap in the city wall.

The Dutch are not prepared to face such a powerful enemy at all, and their organization is not enough.The morale of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army was like a rainbow, and they were also quite brave.Although such urban warfare, the line infantry cannot line up to fire, but they still form a very orderly squad, respond to each other, and carry out assaults.

Some Ming army infantry occupied the top of the remaining city wall. The resistance of the Dutch was not particularly fierce. After only sporadic firing, they were wiped out or surrendered directly.After the Ming army controlled the artillery on the wall, they turned the artillery around.

At the same time, the artillery led by Bai Wenxuan also entered the city.

"Bombard the Governor's Mansion!"

No one in the entire Batavia expected to be attacked so fiercely by such a powerful enemy on such a night.

Governor Ma Suike got up from the bed when he heard the port's alarm bell. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the Governor's Palace accompanied by his entourage, ready to command the battle.

Then he heard a violent explosion.

"The walls are down, the walls are down!"

Ma Suike felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He grabbed one of his officers and said, "How could it be? Why did the city wall break? Isn't our enemy at sea?"

The officer was sweating profusely and said to Masui Ke: "Mr. Governor, there are still a large number of enemy troops outside the city! It seems that they are Chinese. There are at least a thousand people. They are all well-trained soldiers. And heavy artillery.”

Ma Suike was shocked: "Why is it like this?"

Chu Lin, his subordinate, also said worriedly: "We are at war with Zheng Sen of the Ming Dynasty to compete for Taiwan. I am afraid that their crown prince has the same purpose in attacking Batavia this time. The Ming Dynasty is indeed targeting us. "

Ma Suike has already panicked: "Hasn't the Ming Dynasty been defeated by the Tatars? Why do they still have so many soldiers and such fighting power? Could it be that the Ming Chinese are ready to give up their China, but Is it going to fight in Southeast Asia? This is not good news for the Federal Republic."

Chu Lin said: "Mr. Governor, we should immediately retreat into the fortress and stand firm. Even if the Chinese have cannons, they can't help us for a while. We should organize a counterattack, and we still have a chance..."

Chu Lin’s voice had not yet fallen, when suddenly a few shells bombarded from a distance, and the Governor’s Mansion, a landmark building in the colony, was directly hit by these shells. It was not a particularly tall and majestic building, but it was directly destroyed by the shells. , Masonry and wood splashed out, and some Dutch soldiers were also affected and were directly killed.

The faces of Ma Suike and Chu Lin were already pale, and just when they were about to evacuate quickly, a sound of hoofbeats came, and Ma Suike saw the cavalry riding on tall horses, whistling like nomads, With a sharp saber in hand, it swept like a storm.

The Dutch defenders tried to resist them, but were directly hacked to death with their sabers by the swift cavalry, who were feared to be brutal and efficient.

Masuik couldn't believe his eyes: "Is this a Cossack?"
