After destroying Felberg, Guo Huaiyi sent men to seize the town of Chichi, where the Dutch had only a few garrisons, and all the Dutch merchants who lived there had moved to the city of Geranza.

The next day, thousands of volunteers carried the banner and slaughtered in front of Heliao Port.

The more than 200 captured Dutch soldiers were driven to the front of the battle, and the volunteers showed off their might and were not arrogant.

The Dutch in the city of Geranza had already received the news of the annihilation of Felberg's army, and without mentioning how angry and annoyed Paul, Putmans and others were, they said that the opportunity for them to send troops to suppress Guo Huaiyi had disappeared with the passage of these days.

Zheng Zhilong's army had already seen the Dutch flag floating on the port of Heliao.

Zheng Jun's striker has arrived, how can the Dutch take revenge?

No matter how angry Paul and Putmans were, in addition to cursing Guo Huai for choking to death when he drank water and choking to death when he ate, they could only hate Fairberg's stupidity and incompetence.

But Paul was still unwilling to give up the port of Heliao, because after losing it, they would have no place to stay on land, and the six bodies except for one kun would be lost sooner or later. If the navy is unable to quickly deal with the Zheng naval division in Penghu and gain a strategic advantage, then the situation will inevitably be too passive.

The first to arrive was Zheng Tai, the governor of Taoyuan.

Although Zheng Zhilong used the banner of Qi Jiguang and mixed some memories of military training in his mind from his previous life, came up with a set of training regulations, and trained some good soldiers, the high-level generals under him were still the old men at the beginning.

Such as Zheng Tai.

This person, Zheng Lian, and Zheng Cai brothers can be regarded as the rising stars of the next generation of the Zheng family, they are all people who are accustomed to operating boats and boats, and they have basic military literacy and management skills on the sea, but they are very mediocre for land warfare.

In the past two years, I have listened to Zheng Zhilong's words, and I have patiently read Qi Jiguang's "Record of Military Training" several times, and I also compiled "Qi Jiguang's War of Resistance against the Japanese" and "Classics of a Hundred Battles" compiled by Zheng Zhilong, these books have been turned over and over, but this really does not mean that his land combat ability has improved.

Reality is not a game, and it is not that you can improve your intelligence and command if you get this military book.

The latter two books are equated with storybooks in the eyes of many people within the group.

Whether it is the case of Qi Jiguang's war against the Japanese, or the classic battle of famous generals in history, for ordinary people, isn't it a storybook.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong's order to Zheng Tai was to seize Chichi Town, build a camp, and watch Heliao Port, instead of asking him to merge with Guo Huaiyi and take Heliao Port.

"Bombardment, set up a cannon and bombard the fuck!"

Zheng Tai did not pretend to be clever enough to fight Heliao Port. He led people all the way from Taoyuan, then think clearly, do not seek merit but seek no fault.

Among the next generation of the Zheng family, among the three who became famous in one step before Zheng Sen, who became famous recently, Zheng Cai's strength was the strongest, because Zheng Lian was his younger brother. Zheng Tai felt that this was why he could get the position of 'Taoyuan Manager'.

And Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, one was tied to Zheng Hongkui as a deputy general, and the other was sent by Zheng Zhilong to Relancha as an envoy, after such a long time, can the soldiers under Zheng Lian continue to serve him as the master?

Thinking about it, Zheng Tai was a little careful about what others said.

"Boom, boom—"

The cannon roared.

A full twenty five-pound cannons rang out in unison, and the shells smashed into Heliao Port a mile away.

Although the latter was built and reinforced by the Dutch in a hurry, it was not a fortress in the end. By the time Zheng Zhilong arrived, the wall in front of him had already been shattered.

The new fortifications of the Dutch, such as breastworks, palisades, and earthen forts, were either riddled with holes or crumbling under shells.

These fortifications were absolutely effective against armies in the Cold Weapon Age. But in the face of shells, it was a little powerless. Relying on the superiority of firepower, the Zheng army swept away many defensive strongholds outside Heliao Port in two days.

The Dutch were very well-behaved and felt that they couldn't hold it, so they directly called someone to retreat.

There were 2,000 Zheng troops outside the port, all musketeers, which made the chief officer in the port Beder have no idea of sneaking up on the artillery.

When Zheng Zhilong's army arrived, "God, they brought so many cannons?" Bader put away his binoculars, and his heart trembled, and he deeply doubted whether Paul was deliberately borrowing Zheng Jun's hand to get rid of himself by letting him lead his troops to hold Heliao Harbor.

The opponent has so many cannons that he simply can't support the next batch of reinforcements from Batavia.

"I would like to protest to Paul that the port of Heliao is not the city of Geranza. It would be a crime to leave our soldiers here to be shelled. Badel called out to his deputy, Aldorp, who was also Felberg's former deputy.

Zheng Jun's cannons made him have a very bad premonition.

But at this time, God stood up and showed off his presence.

It's raining in the south of the island, it's still heavy rain, heavy rain! And it's a whole day. The Zheng army outside the city did not say that they launched an attack, and even their camp was flooded with rain.

The only thing Zheng Zhilong can be thankful for is that Zheng Tai has made a good front stop.

With the help of Guo Huai's rebel army, Zheng Tai not only built a large camp on the high ground outside the port, but also cleaned up the Chichi Town that he had acquired.

A large number of Han people like Guo Bao, their families and aborigines were taken into custody, the Dutch stables were cleared, and large quantities of baggage, such as the buckets of medicinal powder, were quickly brought in when the weather changed.

The port of Heliao was also not good, and many of the fortifications were completely soaked in the water. Bader's face was as pale as a dead man's.

"Major, we need to get out of here now, the heavy rain has made the guns lose their original power. If we continue to stay here, we're going to die. ”

Aldorp was a Scotsman, and he would have worked for the East India Company for money's sake, but he was absolutely unwilling to die.

Badel bit her lip.

"The rain is so fierce that the guns don't work. Our army has a large number of generals, and if we don't take this opportunity to seize Heliao Port, when will we stay? ”

Zheng Zhilong is not a military genius, but he still has the most basic wisdom in his brain. In the camp, Chen Ding, who was dressed in a robe, entered the tent of the Chinese army, first wiped a handful of rain on his face, and without taking off the clothes, he told Zheng Zhilong about the matter of Chiji Town.

made Zheng Zhilong completely relieved. His mind was also shifted from the logistical burden, and he started the idea of seizing Heliao Port.

"Lin Xishan." Zheng Zhilong nodded.

Like Shi Fu, Hong Xu, and Gan Hui, Lin Xishan is also a well-known general with a foreign surname in the Zheng Group, but his status is weaker than the former.

"The end will be."

"Take Heliao Port for me, is there a problem?"

"Don't worry. The last general will not fail in his mission. ”

Lin Xishan's face showed joy, this is a big credit, he happily hugged his fists and took his life, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Outside, a large open space in Zheng Tai's camp has been covered by tents, whether the ground inside the tent is a puddle of mud or not, but it is good that people will no longer be watered by the rain.

A tent is a shed, densely packed, one after the other, like fish scales. Don't think about safety hazards at all.

Lin Xishan didn't gather too many people, he only chose two teams.

If it goes well, these 500 people are enough. And if it doesn't go well, then call someone to recruit again. Anyway, the two sides are very close!

Five hundred soldiers of the New Army stood in front of Lin Xishan in the pouring rain.

"Everybody come with me!" As soon as he pulled out his waist knife, Lin Xishan roared, and was the first to go towards Heliao Port, and the five hundred soldiers behind him saw that the leader personally led the team, and their morale increased greatly.
