Valley Emperor

But he soon ordered the soldiers in plate armor to gather together and prepare to concentrate their forces and put them into battle.

After the hastily assembled, it was too late to reorganize, and they were sent directly to prepare for the fight!

It's just that these heavy musketeers carry heavy muskets and wear half-armor. In addition, the place where they launched the attack is actually some distance away from the city wall, and it is not as flat as the north. In fact, it is a gentle **** from the pier to the city gate. The road, although it is not too steep, and there are also winding roads for walking, but in the final analysis, the Guards attacked upwards from a young age.

From the point of attack to the city gate, there are obstacles such as trenches and wooden fences built by the Portuguese.

Climbing all the way up and over the obstacles also made these heavy armored musketeers very tired.

No way, their half-body armor is not some kind of export-type ultra-light half-body plate armor, but the heavy armored troops in the Datang Army, such as heavy cavalry, the few heavy armored swords and shields, heavy armored soldiers that exist today Standard half-armor worn by spearmen and other classes.

Although the Datang Army said that it has been fully weaponized, the traditional arms have not been completely eliminated. There are still swords, shields, spearmen and even archers, but the number is already very small, so small that it can be ignored. , to retain these pure cold weapons, it is only to retain the tradition plus precautions and other considerations.

Don't wait until one day you need to use it but there is no more!

The biggest feature of armament construction is that you have to have it regardless of whether it is useful or not!

Just like the naval arms race of various countries in the twentieth century, various types of warships have been built one after another, and many warships do not actually conform to the country's naval tactics, but how do you say it, the meaning of the arms race is not that Whether it is suitable or not, we must also have what the enemy has, especially some new things, such as the aircraft carrier at that time. When the aircraft carrier first came out, no one thought that it would have such a big role in the future, but some people have made it. Other countries followed suit immediately. It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not. After it’s built, it’s not too late to figure out how to use it. It’s really useless.

This kind of thinking is actually a kind of thinking in order to prevent the only and be prepared.

Although the Datang military said that it did not engage in any arms race with other countries, but there is still such a concept in armament construction, that is, no matter if it is useful or not, you must have it.

Therefore, the Datang Army still retains a small number of sword and shield soldiers, as well as pure cold weapons such as spearmen and archers, which are all products of this kind of preparedness.

These traditional sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, the armor they are equipped with is naturally quite powerful armor, some are full body armor, and some are half body armor.

The heavy armored musketeers of the Guards are equipped with half body armor that is the standard half body armor attached to these cold weapon heavy armored troops!

Wearing on the body, wearing on the head, plus arm guards, leg guards, etc., the whole set weighs more than 20 kilograms, plus other equipment such as muskets and waist knives, the weight of each soldier is not light.

Rao is that the soldiers of the Guards are of good quality, and the physical fitness of these heavy armored musketeers is also better than that of ordinary soldiers, but it is normal for them to be tired and short of breath after running up the road.

They are not grenadiers after all!

If it is a grenadier, these weights are nothing. They are all strong men who need height and height, and weight and weight, and their physical fitness is not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

But when these heavily armored musketeers who rushed into the city gate hole with their breaths arrived, they instantly changed the situation on the battlefield!

The soldiers of the Guards who participated in the war before were all ordinary musketeers. Although they wore light breastplates, which could effectively protect important parts, there were still many parts that were unprotected, plus the total length of the muskets and bayonets in their hands. , is not as good as the pure spearmen of the Portuguese on the opposite side, so if it is purely hand-to-hand combat, in fact, although there is no loss in the fight, it will not take much advantage.

The reason why they were able to gain an advantage before and forced the Portuguese to retreat, more relied on their intensive musket shooting and throwing grenades!

Especially the throwing grenade attack, the effect is quite good!

Because both sides are fighting in dense formation, and they are still fighting at close range, this shot does not need to be aimed, and it can hit the enemy directly. The same is true for the grenade. After the grenade is thrown, it can basically blow up the Portuguese.

But speaking, this kind of dense formation actually has limitations in terms of the lethality of the grenade, because if the formation is too dense, the shock wave and shrapnel of the grenade are often absorbed by several people around the grenade. Basically not affected.

If the grenade exploded in a relatively sparse enemy formation, it could actually achieve greater results.

However, this can only be thought about. These days, whether it is the Datang Army, the Guards and other Tang troops, or the troops of other countries, regardless of whether it is cold weapons or musket troops, they are all in dense formations. fight.

In large-scale battles, breaking out of formation is the way to kill.

When the heavy-armored musketeers in heavy armor came up, the Portuguese's only defensive advantage was quickly disintegrated.

The battle of the heavy armored musketeers is not as simple as fighting them with bayonets. They rely on the heavy armor on their bodies, then stand up and shoot, attacking the enemy with their 18mm muskets.

Although most of the Portuguese on the opposite side were also wearing armor, many of them still wore the export-type plate armor exported by Datang, but in front of the bullets of the musket, it was useless.

After shooting, go forward and fight with a bayonet!

Basically after such a round, the Portuguese on the opposite side just collapsed!

After relying on the heavy armored musketeers to open the gap, many light infantrymen at the rear quickly followed up, then expanded the gap, and completely occupied the city gate and surrounding areas, and then killed the city head to cover more soldiers entering the city!

At this time, it was basically possible to announce that the second temporary formation of the Guards had already conquered the southern city wall of Malacca City.

And the time to conquer the southern city wall was no later than the 57th Infantry Regiment conquered the northern city wall!

Therefore, Ding Chenzhen in the rear, just after a few minutes, got the news that the troops had conquered the northern city wall and the southern city wall successively!

When the two city walls were broken, it could basically be announced that the outer city defense line of Malacca had been completely broken. At this time, even the Portuguese soldiers on the eastern city wall had already voluntarily abandoned the east city wall and turned to the inner city.

However, Datang's siege troops did not stop, but moved forward quickly. They wanted to take advantage of the current chaotic period to open the gap in the inner city and then completely capture Malacca.

The city defense system of Malacca City, like many castles, has two city defense systems outside the inner city and the outer city.

Datang's Bandan City in Bandan Prefecture is a very typical outer and inner city design!

The outer city of Banten City, which is built on the mountain, has a larger area, but there is an inner city wall on the top of the city.

The same is true of Malacca. The entire Malacca city, the three urban areas in the north, south, and south, belong to the outer city, but the western city belongs to the inner city.

And build a second wall!

After the first wave of attacks launched by Chaos was repelled by the Portuguese, Ding Chenzhen did not force the troops to launch the second wave of attacks, but ordered the troops to take a short rest, and then mobilized the artillery troops to enter the city.

In addition to a large number of small and medium-caliber artillery, the mobilized artillery unit also has a lot of heavy artillery!

This time, Ding Chen really didn't plan to let the infantry carry out a strong attack. He planned to bombard the city wall with heavy artillery, and then cover the shelling with a large number of grenades. He didn't believe that these Portuguese could stand it.

At this point in the battle, even if the Portuguese retreated to the inner city, they were basically unable to stop the attack of the Datang siege troops.

The area of ​​the inner city of Malacca is far less than that of the outer city. Its total area is less than one square kilometer. Although it is said that there is still a solid city defense system, for such a place that is only a little bigger, Datang has It is possible to concentrate more firepower and force a little onslaught!

At noon that day, the fighting calmed down a little, but in the afternoon, the Datang artillery units that entered the city launched a violent artillery attack on the inner city.

This time, their artillery target was not limited to shelling the city head, but expanded the scope of the shelling to the entire inner city.

Among them, the heavy artillery units continued to use solid shells to bombard the city wall, trying to collapse the city wall to open the gap, while more artillery fired grenades towards the inner city!

From the afternoon to the dawn of the next day, the Tang artillerymen, who had not had much rest, fired a total of nearly 6,000 shells, most of which were grenades, and most of them fell into the inner city of Malacca and exploded.

That night, explosions continued to be heard in the inner city of Malacca, and many buildings were hit and set on fire, so that the inner city was on fire!

Wait until the next morning~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If someone looks down at the inner city of Malacca from the sky at this time, then they will be able to see a shocking scene!

The city was almost turned into a pile of rubble, and fire and smoke were still burning in many places, and there were dead and wounded Portuguese everywhere in the city.

The Governor's Mansion in the inner city of Malacca was hit by a grenade weighing 48 pounds. The violent explosion completely collapsed the Governor's Mansion with a masonry and wooden structure. Many Portuguese officials and Portuguese easters in the building collapsed. Officials of Indian companies were killed and injured!

Under such a violent shelling, coupled with the fact that the outer city fell without even holding it for a long time yesterday, the remaining Portuguese in the city were no longer able to raise their hearts of resistance.

When the morning sun gradually rose, a dazzling white flag was raised on the tattered inner city wall!

The Portuguese surrendered!
