Chapter 442: God's Whip

At the sound of an order, all the sailors guarding the island boarded the boat and set off.

The soldiers were excited and elated one by one - the invincible Hou Ye is here, and he is still aggrieved What are you doing on this small island with a big ass, kill the red hair!

Looking at the soldiers with high morale, Lin Xiao was in a good mood and nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, after dividing the troops along the way, he didn't have many troops at hand, except for the Franc Machine Battalion and two teams of sailors, there was only one special operations brigade left around him.

Now, with this new force, there is no need for Zheng Chenggong's cooperation at all, and the small city of Gelansha can be surrounded by water, and none of the red hairs in the city want to slip away......

The "Qinzhou" took the lead, and as soon as the fleet entered Dayuan Harbor, two Dutch gunboats blocked the way.

Lin Xiao did not hesitate to order the sinking!

Made! He wasn't in the mood to get entangled with these imps, and the most precious thing for him right now was time.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong's progress has greatly exceeded his expectations.

It's only the second day, and you have taken down the Red Embedded City?

Fortunately, he arrived in time, and if he arrived a day late, I am afraid that he would not even be able to drink the soup, and if he could not catch the governor, his trip would be meaningless......

In this way, before the two burning enemy ships had sunk, Lin Xiao ordered: "Special operations team, land!" ”

Immediately, all the boats were concentrated, and Situ Zheng's special operations brigade was sent to Yiyu Island in just one round trip, followed by the landing of various sailor squadrons, and finally, the Franc Aircraft Battalion......

The terrain is low in the south and high in the north, and the landing ground is selected at the southern end of the relatively flat island, which is outside the range of the castle's artillery fire, and there are many shops and houses.

As soon as the troops came ashore, they divided their troops and cleared the residential area outside the castle, gradually approaching the castle at the northern end.

When Lin Xiao came ashore, a loose encirclement had already formed.

The sniper groups of the special operations group have long been in place, the artillery and machine-gun positions of the fire teams have also been constructed, and their flanks are the positions of the various sailor squadrons.

Situ Zheng led the soldiers of the assault group to occupy several civilian houses and opened a front-line command center for Lin Xiao.

The artillery of the Franc Machinery Battalion was on standby, while a large number of infantry were still working as coolies, busily loading dirt and building sandbags at the street entrances to perfect the encirclement position.

But at the moment, the soldiers were strictly disciplined and had not yet opened fire, and some sailors were organizing the few civilians to evacuate them outside the combat zone.

On the contrary, the red hairs at the head of the city couldn't help it, their artillery was firing cannons outside the city one by one, because the distance was still far away, these iron balls were almost no threat, except for the destruction of a few houses, it was just to increase consumption and give themselves a boost.

Accompanied by Situ Zheng, Lin Xiao climbed onto the roof of a private house, raised the telescope in his hand, and looked at this famous European-style castle with great interest.

The city of Geranza in front of you is the center of Dutch colonists in Taiwan, and it is also their last foothold, they have been operating here for decades, and after several expansions, it is not small.

At a glance, this city stretches and is built on several small mounds, the whole city is an irregular rectangle, the circumference is about more than 200 zhang, there are three layers of high and low staggered, there are several large circular convex forts in the four corners of the tower, all have the appearance of four or five zhang high.

Lin Xiao held the binoculars and stared at the two round castles on both sides of the front gate for a long time.

The two round forts, one large and one small, the larger of which was particularly prominent, the fort wall was full of perforations, and the roof was obviously a fort, and the defense facilities were complete, which should be the main firepower point of the frontal defense.

According to Guo Bin's description, the largest round fort is called Utlich Round Fort, and it was the earliest building when the Dutch people first settled down decades ago.

The whole castle should also have a basement, more than a zhang deep underground, and the city walls are all made of sugar water, rice milk and ash barriers, very strong, there are wells dug in the city, and there are plenty of food and ammunition.

Lin Xiao squinted his eyes, this European-style fortress is indeed much easier to defend and difficult to attack than the popular Sifang City in China.

Judging from the setting of the forts, the artillery fire at the head of the city was still relatively dense, compared with the field guns of the Franc machine battalion, their firepower was more fierce and the range was longer, and after cooperating with the musketeers, they could tightly seal every passage around.

It's just that in the eyes of Lin Xiao, the king of soldiers in later generations, there is a lack of continuous firepower output, and no matter how strong the city defense in this era is, it is just a piece of window paper!

The camera turned to the highest part of the castle, and Lin Xiao suddenly found that on a platform there, there was a person poking a long telescope and looking out.

Lin Xiao's eyes froze, and he immediately fine-tuned the focus of the lens, staring at this person's face.

Depending on the situation, this person should be the ultimate goal of this trip!

"Lao Chen, my brother is here to avenge you!"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

After a long time, he put down his binoculars and said to Situ Zheng, "Is the mortar position ready?" ”

"Ready, just wait for your order, commander-in-chief!"

Situ Zheng replied loudly.

"Okay,"

Lin Xiao nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Order, cluster bombardment, kill the two forts in front first!" ”

"Yes!"

……

At this moment, on the balcony of the Doge's Palace in the castle, Felburg was holding a telescope in both hands, also observing this group of uninvited guests.

After some inspection, he found that although the large iron ships cruising outside the harbor were very scary, there were not many people landing, at best less than a thousand people.

However, the camera flashed, and he found that there were several people in ordinary clothes standing on the roof in the distance, and one of them was actually holding a telescope and staring at him?

Feuldberg's face froze, and his mood suddenly became bad.

Even if you stand so high, you still stare at Lao Tzu with big eyes?

This is very excessive, don't you know that Lao Tzu is the governor?

In normal times, if any of the people dared to be so rude, Lao Tzu would have to gouge out his eyeballs!

However, after a moment of confrontation, Felburg finally turned the camera in a panic and avoided the man's gaze.

This man is not his good citizen, he is here to collect debts!

The next moment, the more Felburg looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his face became more and more gray.

Because, the scene in front of me is really a bit heart-wrenching!

As rumored, the weapons in these hands were all muskets, and they didn't see any sword players or spearmen.

"These damn Chinese guys, when did firearms become so advanced?"

Feuerburg hated and feared, and couldn't figure out why.

If the rumors are true, where can he afford to provoke these masters?

Don't say drive them away, I'm afraid that the good days will come to an end, and there will be no place to die!

These people, but tens of thousands of people who annihilated Kong Youde in a war, and the Franc machine man of Haojing was also wiped out in just a few days, and the governor of Franc was said to be dead......

Could this gang of murderers be the whip of God, the punisher sent by his old man?
