0652 Trestle
These reefs are very sharp, like a canine-like difference! A big boat is rubbed by a reef and it will be a big hole! If a small boat is swelled by a wave onto the reef, it will be a shattering end! This is a natural obstacle defense area. No wonder the Dutch people didn't want to arrange heavy troops here, and only built four forts.
But the turret could not stop the soldiers who were eager to make contributions! As the turret was destroyed, the fleet immediately moved closer to the shore and prepared to shell out the outermost buildings that might have hidden people. There were shooting ports on the outermost buildings. These buildings were built as half a fortress, which was very strong, so they had to be destroyed.
Without the threat of the turret, the fleet immediately approached the shore with confidence and boldness and began to shell the buildings. Because the distance was closer, the area of the buildings was much higher than that of the turret. Therefore, the hit rate was quite high! For a moment, bricks and stones flew everywhere and dust! But the buildings were very strong and resisted the shelling.
The boat that was still far away received a signal, and the people on the boat began to row the boat and sailed towards the shore. However, there were no one else on the boat that came first except the sailors who were carrying boats, and there were a few stones in the boat.
The boats rowed over in groups, and even the fleet's navigation was affected. However, without the threat of the turret, these warships simply anchored and stopped on the sea surface and continued to shell the building complex. In this way, the hit rate was actually improved.
The boat was getting closer and closer to the shore and had already reached the reef area. The reason why the Netherlands chose to build a complex here was mainly because there was a reef area here, and it was difficult for enemy ships to get close to it. But this was not difficult for the navy soldiers!
The first batch of boats were carefully selected experts! They would look for a reliable passage between the reefs. Moreover, the boats were loaded with a lot of stones as heavy objects to prevent the waves from overturning the boat.
After the boat approached the reef area, they drove in carefully. They soon found two channel in the reef group. Unfortunately, neither channel could directly rush to the shore. However, the soldiers who were driving the boat were not worried. After they approached the reef, they pulled out a plug from the bottom of the ship, and the sea water was immediately used.
The sailor threw away the cork and began to stabilize the ship with all his might. Soon, the boat slowly sank at the right angle and steadily stuck between the two reefs. In this way, there were reefs on both sides of the ship and stones pressed in the ship. The boat did not move in the wind and waves!
The sailor jumped on the boat twice, and when he saw that the boat was still moving, he happily signaled to the back that there was no problem! The boat behind followed suit and stuck the boat in a good position. The reef area was not big, and more than a dozen small boats had set up their footholds.
The second batch of boats quickly approached. They brought a large number of wooden boards. The sailors used wooden boards to connect the boats. Soon, two winding temporary plank roads appeared!
It turned out that Liu Pei's idea was to build a temporary plank road. If he just sent soldiers to the island, he would be fine with a small boat charging, and there would not be many casualties. However, it would be difficult to send heavy artillery to the island! Heavy artillery cannot be transferred from the small boat, so he could only be lifted from the trestle. However, the surroundings of the island were under the control of the Dutch artillery. Not to mention how to build the trestle, even if there is a trestle there, the boat would not dare to lean up! After all, loading and unloading the artillery was not a matter of a moment. If the ship was sunk, the artillery would be gone!
However, the position chosen by Liu Pei is very good! The sea ships in the distance are parked outside the range of the cannons, and the cannon cannot reach it. As for the small boats placed on the boat, although it looks very dense, it is a joke to use cannons to hit these small boats! Even modern artillery can only rely on shrapnel and shock waves to deal with these small boats, and they will never expect to hit. And the solid shells are of course not possible now.
Those warships that are close to the shore will hide in the cover area of the building complex as long as they avoid two or three rounds of artillery. The cannons on the castle are invisible, so they can hit it. As long as the soldiers build the trestle, they can easily unload the cannons and slowly bombard the Dutch people!
As for the Dutch people in the complex, they could only stare at me! Because the smoothbore guns on their hands could not reach the beach, they could only watch the two plank roads slowly forming, extending, and widening.
Looking at the scene in front of you, the Netherlands in the building complex discussed
The monk felt that the other party could not allow the other party to build the trestlessly. This was not good for them. So they put together a team of about six or seventy people and were about to rush to the beach to burn the trest.
But as soon as they rushed out of the complex, they were hit by the warships on the shore! When the warships dealt with the soldiers, they all replaced them with shotguns and chain bullets. The dense shotguns whistled across the crowd like strong wind, making the ground and people's bodies thunder!
Anyone who was shot was shot had a hole in the barrel, and a stream of red blood fountain was sprayed out! As for the chain bullet, it was like lightning passing through the crowd! Everything that was wrapped by it was one or two pieces!
Several ships fired a round of volleys, and the Dutch people on the opposite side screamed and fell down halfway! The living could only escape back in a mess and never dared to show up again! Their tragic appearance attracted the ridicule of the soldiers who were repairing the pier.
Just as the pier was about to extend to the shore, there was a loud "crash". The wall from the building on the edge of the building at the end of the building collapsed, revealing the internal structure inside the house!
From the internal structure, it can be clearly seen that this is a huge barracks of three floors. At the same time, some panicked Dutch people were trying to escape from the house to prevent the collapse of the entire house! When the fleet found that its bombardment had achieved results, they naturally worked harder to reload and launch, and beat other houses to a shaky one!
When the house was destroyed, the pier was finally repaired and built to the shore. Although Liu Pei had made people more careful and made sufficient preparations, someone still sacrificed!
Four sailors were swept by the waves and hit the reef! One of them was probably injured by internal organs and often vomited blood, which soon stopped working. The other three people had fractures. If they were not rescued in time, they would probably die in the sea! Even so, they might have to cultivate for a long time or retired due to war injuries!
