The sound of the battle in Heliao Harbor spread far away to the seven kun bodies, whether it was the Gerancha Castle with a kun body or the Dutch forts with seven Kun body sandbanks, all the Dutch people were all concerned.

Anyone in their right mind knows that it is unlikely that Heliao Port will be saved.

It's so unfortunate. A pouring rain diminished the power of the guns, and even though the Dutch had muskets long ago flintlock muskets, heavy rain and humidity were still their natural enemies. Not to mention the fact that the Dutch did not have many defenders there.

No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of 'survival'.

As the time entered the second half of the night, the rainstorm gradually became lighter.

There were no more gunshots and shouts of killing in Heliao Harbor, and the Dutch on the sandbar of Qikun also fell asleep with a worried heart.

But no one could have imagined that Zheng Zhilong had taken Heliao Port overnight, and he also had a heart for the Qikun sandbank.

The war against the Netherlands, the early progress should be faster.

Stretching northeast from Tagou Mountain, seven sandbars are still visible on stormy nights. Because the Dutch forts on the sandbar are all lit up.

Grasshopper boats sail across the rippling sea.

In this place in the south of the island, if there is a heavy rain, how can there be no wind and waves?

But from Dagou Mountain to the sandbar of Qikun's body, it is a distance of miles. What if there is a storm?

There were twenty ships in total, each of which was accompanied by a shack of soldiers, all cold weapons, with only a grenade wrapped in an oilcloth around his waist, and four huge yellow gourds hanging from his chest and back.

The team has the general Chen Hui personally leading the troops, and Lin Xishan has the courage, how can he be less?

In the stall of the Zheng Group's sudden changes, even the Zheng family is working hard (Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhipeng), what reason do they have for people with foreign surnames to be lazy?

William and Brooks and their team were on duty at two o'clock in the morning, and they had also looked in the direction of Woliao Harbor with worry. When people in their own country are unlucky, everyone will develop cheap sympathy.

The reason why "cheap" is used to describe this sympathy is that now the two of them and another comrade-in-arms are sleeping against the wall in the sentry post.

They are just mercenaries, at most they are 'rabbits and foxes are sad and hurt', how can they really have comradeship and brotherhood?

Of the five, Bills and Hendry were left on duty for the night.

There were already only twenty defenders in the small fort, two large-caliber guns and two small guns, but now the number has increased to thirty defenders and four large-caliber guns. Both firepower and defense have risen a notch. Therefore, the night sentry can also use such an extravagant figure as five people.

To the south, the sentry post faced the Dog Mountain, and Hendry stood upright, motionless in the face of the Mountain. The Dutch sensed the threat of Zheng's army from land, and the vigilance of the six kun sandbars outside of Geranja was raised to the highest level.

Don't look at their small number, but in the night and rainy weather, staying inside the safe artillery barrier, this is an absolute advantage.

The enemy can't use guns, and they can continue to shoot and shoot while staying in a sheltered barracks, isn't that an advantage or an advantage?

So, taking William and Brooks as examples, neither of them thought that the Seven Kun Shell Forts were dangerous.

At least for now.

Today's climate is too bad for the attacking side. Coupled with the rolling waves on the sea at this moment, and the five fingers that could not be seen in the darkness, how could Zheng Jun go to the island at this time? Isn't that a danger added to vain?

But the sea surface of Li Xu Kuan really couldn't stop Zheng Jun.

Therefore, when small groups of Zheng soldiers quietly approached the stronghold, the wind and rain on the sea obscured the footsteps, and even if the muddy ground made their movements not so clean, it did not alarm the soldiers on duty at night.

The night raiders were getting closer to the forts. Compared with the defense of Heliao Port, although the area here is not large, the fortifications are much stronger, at least there is a wide trench on the periphery, and there is a strict chest wall inside the trench. And the soldiers on duty are quite competent, although three of the five people have fallen, but there are still two, aren't they? The Dutch are really not bad alert.

The seemingly rudimentary sentry post at the top of the fort was piled up with sacks inside and outside the walls. As long as they are not hit by the cannon, no amount of bullets will tickle them. In the fixed fortification, the two muzzles of the two guns were always pointed straight ahead, and three of the five people in the fortifications were leaning against the sandbags and falling asleep, and the remaining two were on duty at night, but at this time their eyes were no longer attentive when they looked at the dark wind and rain outside.

A gust of cold wind blew, making Bills, who had been staring at him for half the night, shiver. "It's a damn night." Although the temperature in the south of the island is not cold at all, the wind and rain can also make the wind cool at night.

The other man, Hendry, didn't move, but always stood upright, because he was almost standing and falling asleep.

So, neither of them is paying attention below.

The one-zhang-wide trench can't stop Chen Hui, and he is going to attack at night, this preparation is not ready, and he still plans to succeed? He had long known the inside and outside of the Dutch forts.

The 200-strong night raiding force marched along the trenches on both sides, and once moved, it was to attack in unison.

Guns can't penetrate thick barriers, and knives and guns can't cut and protect them, but the shooting holes left on the walls are the best destination for grenades.

One soldier quietly touched the breastwork, the second, the third, the fourth, and then supported by people, holding a canvas to build a shelter for the following comrades.

It was also the place where grenades carried by the night raiders were ignited.

With a slight twitch of his ears, Bills, who had squatted down and was lazy, stood up sharply and grabbed the musket beside him with both hands. "Hi Hendry, wake up! I felt like I heard something. ”

Bills heard the movement of the soldiers as they swam through the trenches and over the outer breastwork.

"Rise up all of you, get up quickly—"

Beers's cries were heard far away in the night, and not only the first three dazed Dutch soldiers in the fortifications woke up, but also people in the fort were shouting.

"Fuck it!" Chen Hui scolded secretly in his heart.

"I guess it's a frog or something...... Hendry cautiously poked his head out. He hoped his companion had misheard. But he also knew that Beers' ears were notoriously sensitive throughout the fort.

William stretched comfortably, took off his hat and picked at his short itchy hair, and looked outside at this time, "What the hell." Guys, it's not dawn yet, I just fell asleep not long ago, you should wake me up at dawn. ”

"I can't see anything out there...... "Anonymous, the only one of the five, poked his head out against the sack.

Then the next moment, his head was hit hard by something, which made the unprepared Anonymous fall to the ground, and the thing that hit him also fell into his arms.

"What is this? Pineapples carved from wooden shells? He was still a little confused, and he didn't realize what was in his arms for a while, and he had to hold it up and look at it. The result is a "boom", uh, the head is at least half rotten!

The five-man group at the top of the fort was all horrified in the explosion.

The costumes they wore were incapable of blocking the splattering wood chips. The high-speed flying wood chips easily hit them hard.

The lucky ones are still alive, such as Hendry and Brooks, and Bills with pointed ears; If you are unlucky, you will return to the arms of the Lord in the explosion just now.

The wood slice passed through William's neck and, like a sharp blade, severed William's trachea.

The cold wind was wafting in the dark night, and at the outer breastwork of the fort, figures dressed in black quickly climbed through the mud, and more and more people showed their silhouettes in the dark night.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack ......"

In the silence of the Dutch camp, there was a sudden roar of trembling and horror, countless times sharper than Beers's cry before.

But soon, the screams of the Dutch were completely drowned out by the explosion of grenades.

Where a few pieces of canvas had been erected, the night raiders had cut their fire, and grenades rained down into the various firing holes and holes of the fort.

It is impossible that all the grenades were thrown into the fort, but one of the two can get in, right? One of three, four, or even five was as good as it could be, and it was enough to wipe out the Dutch garrison in the fort.

Just when the Dutch soldiers inside woke up and were about to pick up their muskets and shoot them out from the shooting hole, they had to endure the baptism of grenade explosions.
