For six hours, three battleships approached.

Then the group boarded the command ship with permission.

"Chief."

Chen Zijian stood up and saluted in return, looking at the tired volunteers.

"Wu Tao, what's the result!"

Wu Tao laughed, "Don't worry, chief, the Dutch galleon on the opposite side was captured by us three times, and the rest were sunk by artillery, the Dutch fled to Shang'an, Commander Zhang is cleaning the battlefield, and we will go ashore to occupy Chicheng next." ”

Chen Zijian: "How many brothers have been injured. ”

Wu Tao "Chief, our three battleships were sunk, the rescue was timely, seventy-five brothers died, all of them were killed by artillery, 235 people were injured, and the brothers who fell into the water were all rescued safely. ”

Hearing too much about the number of deaths, it is difficult for Chen Zijian to have any waves, it is not that he doesn't care about the life and death of his subordinates, the current volunteers, with more than 100,000 people, are distributed in different regions to fight, and there are death reports every day.

Chen Zijian has to be sad for a while for every report, then he doesn't have to work.

"Arrange the rest of the matter, as for the missing brother."

Chen Zijian shook his head, the sunken ship, the missing people This is a certain thing, but since he has become a navy, he has already made such preparations.

"Take the credit and go back and give you the reward you deserve."

Wu Tao: "Yes, chief. ”

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

In fact, nearby, I have seen the fragments and wreckage of wood drifting over, and now Chen Zijian has already understood the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army, and there is a great success and ten thousand bones are dry.

The thing is very simple, if you want to get what you want, you have to fight hard with the enemy, because others will not take the initiative to hand over the things. The only thing that can be done is to let the volunteers go up and fight hard.

Among them, there will be their own deaths, and there will also be enemies, and soft-hearted generals will only cause more deaths on their own side, and they don't want their own people to die, so they can only let some of their own people go up.

The closer to the battlefield, the more drifting wood there was, and Chen Zijian had already seen the Volunteer Warships, some of which had been hit by artillery, and the losses were not large and could be repaired and continued to be used.

Some of the battleships had no Volunteers on them, and were in a semi-sunken state.

Attacking the eastern territory of the Dutch, the losses were not small, but the Dutch were completely driven to the island of Taiwan.

At sea, Chen Zijian will take care of the Dutch, and on land, it will be hehe.

The Minnie guns of the Volunteers were more advanced than those used by the Dutch today, and the number of artillery guns was completely overwhelming.

The morale of the rest was higher than that of the Dutch, and Chen Zi couldn't think of a reason to fail.

Chen Zijian: "Let Zhang Wu end the battle early." ”

The guards were on the side, "Understood, chief. ”

It didn't take long for hundreds of warships to advance towards Chikan City, and at the same time the artillery was loaded. The muzzle of the cannon was pointed at the stronghold of the Dutch.

Chikan City is now on the island of Taiwan, and the degree of development is relatively high, but due to the limitation of manpower, there is no need to compare the scale of Chikan City with a million people like Daming.

Chikan City is at most a town level, and as for protection, except for a few places, the rest are mostly protected by wooden fences.

As for why not build a city wall to protect, or the previous problem, there is not enough manpower, if you want to build a county-level city wall in the Ming Dynasty, it takes tens of thousands, more than 100,000 people to be possible, Taiwan Island is now Han plus Dutch, the number does not exceed 20,000.

It's good that someone can make a wooden fence.

The Dutch in Chikan were now in disarray, and the sound of artillery had sunk their proud galleon.

Without the protection of galleons, Chikan City would be naked in front of the attacking enemy, and it would not be able to resist at all.

Fuku-style transport ship.

The so-called Fu-type transport ship belongs to the same type of Fuku-ship as the battleship, and the difference between the two is that the battleship is equipped with 50 guns and is mainly used for combat.

The Fu-style transport ship is mainly for transportation.

In addition to transporting all kinds of gunpowder and necessary resources, the Marine Corps also relied on Fu-style transport ships.

Just now, the naval battle Fu-style transport ship followed behind the battleship, and fifty transport ships were watching the lively things behind, after all, the long-range fire strike, there was nothing to do without them.

After receiving Zhang Wu's order, fifty transport ships docked, and the combat target captured Chikan City.

Brigade Commander: "Hurry up, a few of you guys will help you go over and pull the artillery over." You guys rush to the front with me and find a good spot to plant the artillery. ”

The marines, equipped with artillery, belong to small artillery and can move equipment quickly, to put it bluntly, it is a reduced version of battleship artillery.

The artillery of this period is really not very high-tech, Chen Zijian's arsenal has now mastered the technology of artillery production, and now the small artillery of the Marine Corps is just a trivial matter.

According to the battleship artillery can be reduced to production, the advantages of this kind of artillery are said, the weight is only two hundred catties, placed on the wheels of a volunteer can be pulled, several together is faster.

As for why not to use horse-drawn small artillery, it is without horses.

"Brigade commander, hurry up, let's come over as soon as possible, don't steal the limelight for the brigade next to you."

The Marines are a bunch of leftovers, and of course this is a comparison with battleships.

Under normal circumstances, the battleship is the first to go to war, and they must have given the credit to the big head to eat and leak oil, if it weren't for the battleship fighting now, it would take a while to recuperate.

Maybe those shameless bastards will shoot at Chikan City from the battleship, and that's what the Marines are doing ashore cleaning.

Such a tragic thing has not been unheard of before, when going to sea and encountering a pirate's nest, the battleship used to be a shelling, which beat the pirate's nest to a pulp, and the marines who went to sea together could only go up to clean it, but what credit can such a work have.

All the Marine Brigade Commanders have a consensus that they will take Chikan City in advance while the group of masters have not rested well, so that they can barely eat meat and not drink soup or leftovers as much as sesame mung beans.

Half an hour later, a thousand meters outside Chikan City, the commander of the first brigade arrived with troops earlier than the others, and it was not far from the coastline, but it was only three thousand meters away, and the terrain was open.

The artillery attack distance of the battleship on the sea is five thousand meters, of course, this is the longest range, and the accuracy cannot be counted on at all.

The battleship really attacked from such a long distance, and there was no hit rate, so there was a chance for the marines to eat meat.

Otherwise, according to the meaning of the captains, even if they are tired and lie down, they will let people get up and fire their guns, and this is all a credit, who doesn't have the idea of getting promoted and making a fortune.

Zhang Guilin, commander of the 1st Brigade.

He took a look at it with a monocular and observed that there were five gun ports in Chikan City, and there were two in front of him, each with a height of about three meters, and they were equipped with four guns.

Zhang Guilin mainly observes artillery, as long as the biggest threat is solved, it is a great credit, as for the Dutch who saw the panic inside, it was not his concern.

Zhang Guilin: "Set up the artillery, and blow up the two turrets for me first." ”

The so-called muzzles, piled up with stones, are not too big, and the artillery shells five or six times, which is guaranteed to make it lose its combat function.

"Brigadier Commander, alright, you make the final adjustments."

Aiming at the target with artillery is a technical job, and only the volunteers who are very familiar with the accuracy of artillery can do it, and Zhang Guilin can be a brigade commander, and this hand is a unique skill.

To put it bluntly, this brigade is all for Zhang Guilin. The volunteers below did everything in the early stage, placing the artillery and loading the ammunition.

Zhang Guilin nodded, went behind the artillery, looked at the position of the gun port in Chikan City through the telescope, and then looked at the aiming direction of the gun, and finally made a slight adjustment.

Then the other six guns were moved accordingly, aiming seven at one turret.

Zhang Guilin's approach can be regarded as a kind of personal talent, and there is no need to be surprised no matter what magical talent he sees others in the army.

In the past, Zhang Guilin did not discover his talent, and only discovered it after entering the artillery, but the volunteers gave him a place to display his talent.

Sometimes, it's not a big deal to be talented, it's a platform to display your talent.

"Open fire."

Seven cannon sounds in a row, Zhang Guilin still held a telescope and looked at the opposite turret, the effect was good, the turret was attacked three times, and the powerful force knocked the turret stone out of the rubble, and there were signs of loosening.

"Okay, the other artillery still needs to be adjusted, these three guns hurry up and continue, this is the direction."

The muzzle of the gun, where the Dutch were, was unwilling to strike passively, and also fired a counterattack.

The smoke from the cannons of the volunteers did not need to be looked for by the Dutch.

Two eighty-two-pounder guns opened fire in the direction of Zhang Guilin. The fall of shells in the distance had little effect on the 1st brigade.

At the same time, the other brigades arrived with their own men, quickly assumed the artillery, and aimed at Chikan City to open fire.

It's time to grab credit, and the snubbing will definitely not be able to drink the soup.

Not far from the artillery was the Mini guns of the Volunteers as protection, and if the Dutch came out, the result could be imagined.

Unlike Zhang Guilin, who was facing the turret, other brigade commanders had different attack targets, and they were firing artillery at different targets in Chikan City.

Half an hour later, a white thing appeared in Chikan City and swayed.

Zhang Guilin couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw it, "This is surrender, I thought they would resist to the end." ”

In an hour of shelling, the volunteers fired more than 1,000 cannons, and it was shelling Chikan City, you must know that the walls of Chikan City are no more than wooden fences, only a small number of stone buildings. Shelled by the Volunteers for so long.

The Dutch had no desperate thoughts.

Even the Dutch didn't have a gun, the Volunteers fired a thousand kilometers away, and the muskets didn't have a chance to play a role, of course it's okay to shoot indiscriminately, but what's the use.

The Dutch surrendered, and in addition to being passively beaten, the Dutch governor was accidentally hit directly by artillery and died on the spot.

Any accident on the battlefield is possible, don't think that the Dutch governor will let him go.

The shelling stopped, and not long.

The Dutchman, who had raised his hand, came out in frustration and did not dare to make a move.

Zhang Wu received the surrender of the Dutch and asked people to come over to receive the prisoners.

The Dutch lasted an hour before coming out, which is considered a good military quality, and the fact that the Europeans surrendered will not be a burden, and it is normal for the Europeans to surrender after losing the war.

When Chen Zijian heard that the battle was over, more than 700 Dutchmen were tied up and stayed aside in Chikan City, and soon Zhang Wu came over to report the results to Chen Zijian.

"Chief, I have asked the prisoners, there are less than 1,200 Dutch people in Chikan City, two hundred were killed and more than 300 wounded in the shelling just now, and a large amount of silver was found in the warehouse of Chikan City."

After speaking, Zhang Wu had a stunned expression on his face, and made a big gesture with his hands.

According to Zhang Wu's current status, he has seen 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of silver, and now his expression can only show that the Dutch have hoarded a lot of silver in Chikan City.
