Chapter 412 Dog Fighting

In Zheng Chenggong's opinion, this was agreed between the two sides before the war, and he didn't want Lin Xiao to eat from his bowl again.

As a young coach of the same age and in his prime, Zheng Chenggong is a person with a high spirit.

Seeing that Lin Xiao's people had destroyed half of the red-haired fleet and captured two huge gunboats in just one meal, Zheng Chenggong's heart was still a little red-eyed, and even more unconvinced.

Grandma's, you are only a few people, and you have made a lot of money as soon as you make a move, and the tens of thousands of troops that Lao Tzu is screaming have not yet hit the tooth sacrifice!

He knew that once Lin Xiao was mixed in, then, eighty percent of the first merit of recovering the big man would be snatched away by his people.

This is not what Zheng Chenggong wants to see.

As a young coach, he has mobilized so many soldiers and almost used all the resources, and the food and grass alone are about to empty the Jinxia, and he has to have an explanation from top to bottom, right?

Also, tens of thousands of villagers over there in Bengang are waiting for his army like stars and moons.

"Brother Shuangmu, I'll leave it to you to fight the dog, the port is vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is complicated, so I'll come."

Although Zheng Chenggong was polite, his attitude was categorical.

"Lord ......"

Looking at Zheng Chenggong, who was full of determination, Lin Xiao was speechless.

The enemy's heavy troops are all in the army, isn't this to help you reduce casualties?

Is there any big battle to fight over there in the dog port, do you want me to travel?

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He couldn't resist Zheng Chenggong, and he didn't want to break with him.

Well, let's respect history!

The historical merit of recovering the treasure island was originally the work of this national hero.

"Then let's talk about it, wait for me to take down the dog, and immediately go north to support you, okay?"

Lin Xiao said helplessly.

"Okay."

Zheng Chenggong smiled happily with a bright face.

"Also, I'm going to hunt dogs, and I'll only take two boats with me, and the rest of the boats ...... How about going with you to the Dayuan Sea area, and then turning north to go to the chicken coop? ”

Lin Xiao was unwilling.

As soon as the army arrived, the Dutch people must have taken advantage of their unstable foothold to fight back, and casualties were inevitable under the fierce battle, and the rifles in the hands of his sailors helped to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Yes,"

Zheng Chenggong nodded, "However, they have to listen to me and must not act without permission." ”

"Okay,"

Lin Xiao looked sincere, "You are here to take shelter from the wind and waves, and I will lead the machine boat to set off tomorrow to try to get rid of the dog as soon as possible." ”

……

On the afternoon of June 25, although the wind and waves did not abate at all, Lin Xiao still got on the "Qinzhou" and took the giant ship "Longsheng" to leave Hong Kong and embark on the journey.

However, the weather really didn't help, and the wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger along the way, and it looked like a typhoon was about to blow.

The "Longsheng" was running quite smoothly, while the "Qinzhou", which was only more than 1,000 tons, was a bit miserable, although it was also machine power, it still swayed from side to side in the huge waves, which was very embarrassing.

At the beginning, Sun Lei designed the "Qinzhou" to be relatively slender, and the ship type was somewhat similar to the popular destroyers of later generations.

The slender hull is good for reducing drag, and it is also good for lining up the front and rear when arranging weapons on the deck - no way, the volume of a breech-slewing naval gun is not comparable to that of a rudimentary breech gun.

However, the too narrow width is not conducive to reducing the amplitude of roll, which greatly weakens the battleship's ability to resist wind and waves, and when encountering strong wind and waves, it will be particularly bumpy to ride.

Fortunately, except for the special operations brigade, the rest of the fighters were all on the "Longsheng", and there were not too many people who got seasick and vomited along the way.

In the evening of the next day, the two-ship fleet of "Qinzhou" and "Longsheng" slowly bypassed the slightly raised Shoushan along the coast of Gushan, and finally appeared in the open sea of Dagou Port......

Dagou, renamed Kaohsiung during the Japanese occupation, is located in the southwest of the treasure island, west of the Taiwan Strait, south of the Bashi Strait, is the sea gate of southern Taiwan.

The Dutch fleet is located on the coast not far from Shoushan, and the back of the harbor is the Fengshan hills, and not far from Fengshan is the largest river on the island, Gaoping Creek.

At this time, Gaoping Creek was the dividing line between Han immigrants and local natives, and after crossing Gaoping Creek all the way to the east, it entered the lush central mountain forest area......

The sky was overcast and the visibility was not very good, so the ship slowed down and slowly sailed into the harbor.

Lin Xiao, who was a little dizzy, came to the window of the stern tower and saw a small water village by the sea at a glance.

This water village, originally left by pirates, was occupied by the Dutch, and several large stone piers were added to the original site, and the scale expanded a lot.

As expected, there is not a single big boat in the water village, except for more than a dozen cantons (known to Westerners as junk boats) that are common in the southeast sea, and more dilapidated fishing boats with a size of only a dozen tons.

When the typhoon came, merchant ships and fishermen did not dare to go to sea, and dozens of boats, large and small, were honestly moored in the water village.

Around the water village, there are many tents and tents, presumably the dwellings of the outskirts serving the Dutch people, as well as the grass huts of the local fishermen.

Approaching the water village, Lin Xiao saw from a distance that there was a complete land village on the small hill by the sea, with the Dutch tricolor flag fluttering on it.

At first glance, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, this village is well repaired!

He raised the telescope to take a look, but found that the wall was not very tall, and the houses in the village were also a little scattered.

Although it is built by the mountain, the walled wall is indeed very regular and square, but the defensive buildings inside are built at will without any rules at first glance, the arrangement of enemy towers and outposts is very arbitrary, and the fortification in many places is very lax, and it is in vain.

At this moment, some people in the water village are rushing to Lu Village in a panic, and in that Lu Village, there are also figures dancing and running around.

In the footage, many people with weapons in their hands climbed the enemy tower and the wall......

"It's a hell of a sea bandit of this level to be able to sweep across Southeast Asia."

Lin Xiao muttered with disdain.

From his perspective from later generations, the Dutch people were either lazy or stupid, and such an important place, neither the layout of the defenses nor the quality of the personnel stationed there, was at all clever.

But he also knew that it was these Western bandits, before and after occupying this place, not only repeatedly plundered China's coastal areas, but also went deep into the inland states and counties to burn and kill, and most of them were still invincible, causing officials and soldiers everywhere to flee.

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in this era is so low that it has reached an outrageous level, and those generals who are afraid of the enemy like tigers and blow the combat effectiveness of Westerners and Tartars into the sky are so incompetent.

"No wonder, more than 100,000 Qing cavalry can sweep across the north and south of the river,"

Lin Xiao said angrily, "In the face of such a pustuated army, you can't be majestic if you don't want to." ”
