A lion leads a flock of sheep to defeat a flock of lions led by sheep. - Proverb

The dark clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and it was still noon. Naris Reelsheng looked at the sky anxiously on the top of the city. For the Dutch army relying on artillery and city walls, the heavy rain at this moment was definitely fatal. After yesterday's bombardment of the Ming army's cannons, the Magong Ao Castle, which was originally built urgently, has collapsed everywhere. If there is a heavy rain, the Ming army equipped with large swords and spears will probably be like fish in water!

At this time, Naris Reil looked at the port behind him. Several already dilapidated warships were berthed in the port. He sighed and said, "How long will it take for the Ming army to ultimatum?"

"Report to the general, the time is coming soon! All the troops are ready, waiting for the general's order!" An adjutant behind Naris Reel's rise and replied hurriedly.

Suddenly, a faint light flashed out of the dim sky. Then, Naris Reelsheng on the city wall felt the air around him suddenly twisting, and a harsh whistling sound quickly slid through his ears, and a burning smell filled the air. Then Naris Reelsheng saw the smoke of gunfire after the cannons fired on the Ming army position on the opposite side.

Naris Reelsen's heart tightened, and then a huge shock of the earth shaking came from his feet. A house made of huge rocks behind the city wall fell to the ground, filling up dust covering the sky.

"General, hurry up and leave the city. The artillery of the Ming Dynasty is so powerful!" Naris Reelsheng's voice came slightly from his ears that had been tinnitus.

Naris Reelsheng turned his head and saw that the adjutant opposite him was roaring beside him, but unfortunately he heard the continuous buzzing noise. Naris Reelsheng turned his gaze back to the front of the position, took off the monocular telescope from his waist, and looked at the Ming army opposite.

Accompanied by the 'woosh' sound, a shell hit the stone wall of the castle. The vibration of the city wall was even more extraordinary. Naris Reelsheng staggered and fell on the stomp on the city wall. Then the stones that were shaken by the iron bombs began to fall down sparsely. Occasionally, there were a few Dutch soldiers who hit the wall on the city wall. There were waves of tragic roars. Reelsheng turned his head and looked at the city wall not far away. The stomp on the city wall was neatly removed. The walls made of huge rocks were layered out of the city wall, and there were the remains of his own soldiers. An iron cannon that had been blown up was lying across the city wall. Some shells and iron pieces were scattered all over the ground. Several Dutch soldiers were lying on the ground wailing, and several medical staff and priests in the army were running here from a distance.

"General, leave here. The cannons of the Ming Dynasty barbarians are too fierce!" A trembling hand held onto Reelsheng's shoulder, and then shouted in his ears.

Reelsheng felt the fear of the master of the hand on his body, and turned around and stared at his adjutant fiercely. From the adjutant's eyes, Reelsheng seemed to see despair. In his military career, Reelsheng saw this look many times. The eyes of those small tribes of Southeast Asian island countries were conquered by the power of their own cannons and muskets, and the eyes of the sailors who were sunk by their fleets in the naval battle, but they were all from the enemy. This time Reelsheng saw this fear in his own eyes.

"General, the Ming Dynasty army is rushing forward!" The fear in the adjutant's eyes deepened.

A lion led a flock of sheep to defeat a group of lions led by sheep. Sometimes the war is really strange. A few days ago, the Ming army was still in front of the Dutch. However, when the deafening cannon sounded and a single cannon blasted the Dutch castle with gaps everywhere, the blood lurking in the blood of the Chinese nation emerged. As soon as the war drums in the army were ringing, the Ming army all over the mountains rushed towards the castle like a tide.

The loud shouts that shook the world came from Raelsheng's ears that had just returned to his hearing, covering up the sound of the cannon that was constantly bombarding. Rael rose up and blew the blood flowing from his forehead, shouting: "Shoot me! Shoot!"

The firepower points on the city wall have long been cleaned up by the Ming army in turn. Except for a few missing nets, most of the dense artillery that were usually densely packed was silent at this time. However, just a few cannons can cause great casualties to the Ming army. Several shells shot from the Dutch city wall fell into the Ming army that was rushing towards the city wall. Several hit corpses were thrown into the air and smashed into the crowd. Some soldiers who were blown tortured in pain on the ground.

The distance from the charge to the city wall is so far and so close. Unlike every charge in the past, the Ming army's charge not only caused very few casualties, but also had very fast speed, just like a black wave hitting the city wall. For a moment, the city ladder quickly mounted on the city wall, and the black dots kept climbing up the city wall.

The Dutch on the city wall kept picking up the muskets in his hands and shooting under the city wall. The long spear kept stabbing the Ming soldiers who were about to climb up the city wall. Some Ming soldiers who bravely rushed up the city wall were waving their heavy swords and fighting fiercely with the Dutch.

"Brother Liu, there is a cannon on the city wall right in front of you! It's just now opened fire!" In order to satisfy Zheng Zhilong's desire to be responsible, Liu Blacksmith handed over the task of the observer who was more and more abundant among the troops to Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong played the observer in the Ming armament camp at this moment, holding a telescope and searching for the target everywhere.

Blacksmith Liu raised his eyes and looked at it for a while, ran to the back of the cannon and shouted: "80 degrees left front, 62 degrees up and down, standard charge!"

…………

"ignition!"

Another stone fireworks were blooming on the city wall opposite. Zheng Zhilong watched the iron cannons rolling on the city wall and rolling from the city wall to the ground. He cheered and flattered: "Brother Liu has won every shot! According to today's performance, he has killed at least dozens of red hairs! It turns out that he is indeed a famous nightmare gunner in the army!"

Liu Blacksmith was a rough man, and when he heard such compliments, he was intoxicated and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, if you follow me, you will be able to kill hundreds of enemies after a few battles! At that time, there would be no problem to be a hundred households in insurance!"

At this time, Zheng Zhilong suddenly felt excited and shouted: "Brother Liu, I saw the Dutch red-haired general, the one wearing bright red clothes!"

Liu Blacksmith followed the direction Zheng Zhilong pointed for a while, and finally saw a Lei Ersheng, who was waving a saber and commanding the army with his teeth and claws in the telescope's sight. He laughed loudly!

...

"Report to the general, the castle gate was blown down, and now he is fighting fiercely with the Ming army at the city gate! Please support!"

"Report to the general, several large holes were blown out of the city wall, and some of the Ming troops rushed into the castle. Now there is not enough manpower on the city wall, and many Ming troops have climbed up the city wall to fight with our army!"

"Report to the general, the large number of Ming army's naval forces have blocked the port. Now the commander of Pangdegu Navy is fighting with the Ming naval artillery!"

The adjutant beside Reelsheng was obviously unable to hold on and shouted: "General, let's surrender. Now there is no chance of winning. Will we die in vain?"

Reelsheng looked at the adjutant beside him with contempt, kicked the adjutant to the ground, and shouted wildly: "Useless coward, you have insulted your status as a nobleman. Surrender, that's what those barbarians will do. Shoot me and let these Ming dynasty barbarians die!"

Reel raised the saber in his hand high and patrolled the city wall hysterically. When he saw the soldiers in the timid formation, he slashed them hard, but Reelen did not realize that he had become the prey of the Ming army at this moment.

A soldier with a Dutch arm cut off was thrilling against the city wall. Reel Sheng ordered him to turn around and continue fighting, but the soldier's pain was obviously greater than his obedience to Reel Sheng, and he continued to lie there!

"A coward who is afraid of death!" Reel raised the saber in his hand and slashed hard at the other party.

A huge force that surpassed nature ran towards Reelsheng. The huge iron ball gradually expanded in Reelsheng's eyes. A slight but very clear sound was in Reelsheng's ears and also produced in Reelsheng's body. Reelsheng suddenly felt that the power in his body seemed to find an outlet, and "huh" poured back from his chest and abdomen! Then Reelsheng seemed to feel his bones breaking inch by inch, his muscles broke one by one, and all parts of his body suddenly no longer belonged to him.

The bluestone slabs on the city wall made of huge rocks suddenly magnified and gradually enlarged in Reelsheng's vision. Finally, with a "bang" hit it. Reelsheng felt the world turn over several times, and then what appeared in his vision was the broken arm holding a saber churning in the air. The blood mist in the sky slowly covered the sky, slowly covering Reelsheng's vision...

After holding it in for a long time, the heavy rain finally rushes down happily, as if it wants to wash away the sinful killing...

Perhaps Reelsheng's death means the death of the Dutch. Thousands of Ming soldiers rushed into the Dutch castle in a short time after Reelsheng was blown away by the shell. The castle that once devoured the lives of many Ming soldiers was now devastated, with broken walls everywhere. The Dutch who had lost cannons and lost the cover of the city wall obviously also lost their fighting spirit!
