Chapter 694: Determined to be a ruthless person

After two or three rounds, the flat fleet was a little overwhelmed, and there were signs of collapse.

"For the enemy, those who flee from the battle, kill!"

Gan Hui, the regiment commander from the Huangming Military Academy, shouted loudly the Ming army's "Seven Killings Order", and slashed a soldier who ran backwards.

Although the soldiers of the Pingfan fleet were not good, the officers were all professional, either from the Imperial Military Academy or the Royal Naval College, and they also loudly encouraged their subordinates.

"Just red hair, what's there to be afraid of!"

"Crush them, crush them!"

The head of the regiment, Gan Hui, shouted loudly and took the lead in the charge.

The Pingfan fleet was rectified by Zhu Chenggong for two months, and the military discipline was much better than before, and the people were bold, one by one, bowing their heads and bending over, gritting their teeth and pushing up.

The Dutch army leading the battle was Captain Beder, his eyes widened, and he was surprised why the Chinese were not prepared to flee as expected.

Their chief, in particular, rushed to kill with his shield on his shoulder, and was very fierce and bold, as if he had another body stored in his house.

The two sides exchanged a few more rounds, and although the Ming army was killed a lot, they kept advancing, and they didn't even look back to see if their comrades had followed.

Fighting a war of attrition with lives for lives, the Dutch army obviously couldn't afford to play, and finally couldn't hold on and retreated in defeat.

If before the battle the Dutch were brave and fearless warriors, now their courage is like a stray domestic dog, completely replaced by fear.

Many of the soldiers threw away their guns before they could even fire at the Ming army, and they fled in the wilderness, shamefully abandoning their heroic captains and compatriots.

The Ming army pursued the victory and defeated the Dutch army, suffering more than 200 red-haired soldiers, Captain Bader also died in the melee, and another captain, Aldorp, led the remnants of the army, defeated back to the city of Geranza.

The city of Geranza is only separated by a bay from Chikanlou, and the Ming army attacked Chikanlou, and Meier used a telescope to observe the battle there from the tower.

When he saw that the reinforcements he had just sent had returned from a disastrous defeat, he was so angry that he asked Aldorp loudly: "Captain, what's the matter?" ”

Aldorp gasped and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, we are too light to expect such resistance......

"The Chinese took advantage of the momentum and attacked fiercely, cutting down people when they saw them, without mercy, until all two hundred and eighteen of Bader and his men were killed!"

Maier said with a dark face, "I asked you how you ran back!" ”

Aldorp was a little dissatisfied: "Naturally, run on your legs, Your Excellency the Governor, you must understand that any great hero should have a little more patience than others......"

“......”

When Gan Hui blocked the reinforcements of Relanza City, Chen Ze and Shi Lang had already begun to attack.

Chikan Tower is also called the Red Hair Building by the local people, it is roughly square, covers an area equivalent to the size of a small half a football field, the castle is nearly 12 meters high, is divided into three layers, there are four turrets on the city wall, each turret is equipped with five guns.

The Ming army lined up all kinds of artillery in front of the Chikan Tower, did not persuade them to surrender, and did not talk too much nonsense, and directly launched a fierce bombardment.

No matter how exquisitely this small castle was built, it was still made of bricks and earth, and under the bombardment of the Ming army's heavy artillery fire, the whole city was engulfed by the earth-shattering artillery bombardment and the smoke of Miman, and the Dutch soldiers were beaten so that they did not dare to raise their heads.

In less than half an hour, the Ming army poured more than 1,300 rounds of solid bullets and more than 100 rounds of flowering shells on Chikanlou.

In this wave, although the Chikan Tower was not razed to the ground, it had almost been dried up, and the city walls were full of craters and dense cracks.

The battlements of the city wall were blown open in more than a dozen places by flowering shells, and in several places large openings several meters wide were blown up.

The Dutch soldiers defending the city were even more miserable, hundreds of people died, and even the commander of Chikanlou was blown to the head and bleeding, unconscious, and carried in to rescue him, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.

The whole of Chikan Tower was thick with smoke, and there were jumping flames everywhere, and the Dutch and indigenous soldiers ran around the city, crying and crying like mourning.

"This little broken city is quite durable!"

Zhu Chenggong, who rushed over, smiled and was ready to order a strong attack on the city.

At this time, something resembling a small white flag appeared at the head of the city, and when you looked closely, it was a pair of white underwear.......

Adjutant General Zheng Hongkui smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be going to surrender." ”

Zhu Chenggong ignored his uncle, completely regarded him as a subordinate, and as soon as he waved his hand, the interpreter in the army immediately went up to shout.

Unexpectedly, it was a black man who emerged from under his underwear, and he muttered a lot.

The black man said that there were many black soldiers in Chikanlou, who had long been unbearable to bear the bullying of the red hair, and were willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, take the initiative to surrender out of the city, and join the Ming army.

"Take over their surrender!"

Zhu Chenggong already understood what the other party said without having to translate, and accepted it happily at the moment.

The Zheng family also had a Wufan army before, and the leader was Matos, the smart and rational black man, but he was irrational when facing the Jingwu army, and died very violently...... (Thrown into the river by Huang Degong and drowned)

Wu Fanbing left a deep impression on Zhu Chenggong, he was very capable of fighting, he was not afraid of death, the remuneration was low, he was very suitable for charging into battle, don't be in vain.

The most important thing is that the war here cannot be delayed, the sooner you take Chikan Tower, the more you can take the initiative to control the battle situation, the fewer casualties of the Ming army.

Under the guidance of the Wufan soldiers, the Ming army quickly captured the city of Chikan, and more than 300 Dutch soldiers who defended the city were killed, more than 300 were killed, and more than 200 indigenous soldiers were also killed, and the rest all surrendered.

The Ming army also lost hundreds of people, and Zhu Chenggong ordered that except for the Wufan soldiers who surrendered in advance, the rest of those who surrendered after breaking the city should all be killed, and their bodies were hung on the masts of the warships to demonstrate to the red hairs of the city of Gelansha.

Since following Emperor Tianwu, Zhu Chenggong is determined to be a ruthless person, a ruthless person who is self-motivated!

Emperor Tianwu once said that as long as the starting point of Dongfan, the future Ming Dynasty will conquer the sea of stars, and will encounter more murderous foreigners, if you want to defeat them, you must be more fierce than them, so that they will be terrified!

Chikanlou didn't even hold on for a day, and the result of the battle greatly exceeded Meier's expectations, he really didn't expect that the Ming army could pull out so many artillery pieces at once, and it broke through Chikanlou.

Maier couldn't help but regret it greatly, he still had a trace of illusion before, thinking that reinforcements were coming, and there were strong cities to defend, and he should be able to withstand it, but now the situation is too unoptimistic.

At the same time, he felt that he was unlucky, and he had saved a lot of gold during his tenure as governor, and he saw that his tenure in Dongfan was over and he would go back to enjoy his blessings, but he was afraid that the gold would be picked up by China......

The only thing Mel has now is for Batavia to send reinforcements to the East, but I don't know how long it will take.....
