Because the Ming Dynasty released rumors before sending troops, saying that they wanted to recover Taiwan, the Duke of Havelan of the Dutch Far East Fleet sent 5,000 Dutch soldiers in addition to sending 39 warships, plus Taiwan's original more than 4,000, and now Taiwan has gathered nearly 10,000 Dutch soldiers.

Nearly 10,000 Dutch soldiers were stationed in the two castles of Taipei, the city of Taipei, and the two castles of Chichitainan.

Both castles are undoubtedly easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The first leg of the Fourth Army was to land on the city of Chichi, where it annihilated the Dutch defenders.

On the surface of the red sea, countless warships appeared.

"Doodoo Doo"

As soon as the Dutch soldiers at the observation post on the peak of the Red Castle saw this scene, they instantly recognized it as the enemy's fleet, and immediately rushed towards the Red Castle while blowing loudly at the whistle!

"Enemy! Enemy! ”

"The army of the Ming Dynasty is coming? God, can anyone tell me why so quickly and how they broke through the defenses of the Far Eastern Fleet? And what about the ships of our great Netherlands? Where are they! The Dutch generals stationed in the city yelled angrily.

The Dutch generals really don't understand, it stands to reason that the sea is protected by the Far East Fleet, and the Ming army should not be so quick to come to the city, unless the Far East Fleet is defeated!

"Oh, no! How could the Far Eastern Fleet of the great Netherlands be defeated! Even if they were defeated, someone should have informed us in advance! The Dutch general roared madly.

He could never have imagined that the Far East Fleet he was expecting had been completely wiped out, and not a single warship had escaped, so naturally it was impossible for someone to inform him in advance!

"Damn the Great Ming Man! Don't think you'll be able to take down the castle I'm defending by attacking the shore! I've got 3,800 soldiers to defend, and I've got thirty cannons, and I'm sure you'll be bleeding!" ”

"Quick, prepare, prepare!"

"Doodoo Doo"

The Dutch generals of the castle kept blowing their whistles to beckon their soldiers to defend themselves, and the thirty cannons at the castle wall also urgently reloaded their ammunition and aimed their muzzles at the sea, firing whenever the Ming ships dared to approach.

Although the Dutch stationed in the Red Castle only have 30 cannons, don't underestimate these 30 cannons, they are not only installed at the highest point of the Red Castle and can overlook the sea level, but also different from the ordinary warship cannons, this is the most advanced "fortress cannon" in the Netherlands, weighing more than 3,500 catties and having a range of 3,000 meters!

The Dutch were confident that with the 3,000-meter range of 30 fortress guns and the advantage of their position, they could effectively prevent the Ming army from coming ashore!

At sea level, the six Shenwu-class warships of the two major fleets of the Ming Navy took the lead, followed by more than 50 other warships, and finally the hundreds of troop carriers transporting the Fourth Army of the Ying Long Army.

Shen Jingchao and Zheng Sen were already standing together on a Shenwu-class warship at this time.

"Brother Zheng, do you say that we should directly let the Fourth Army of the Dragon Army land and attack, or should we do it first!" Shen Jingchao said to Zheng Sen with a smile.

Zheng Sen put down the clairvoyance in his hand, just now he had a preliminary understanding of the deployment of the Dutch in Chiji City through observation, and naturally he also saw the thirty fortress cannons of the Dutch.

As an old rival of the Dutch, the Zheng family knew everything about what kind of weapons the Dutch had, such as the performance of the Dutch's thirty fortress guns, Zheng Sen knew very well.

"The Dutch's garrison artillery is not vegetarian, in order to reduce the casualties of the Ying Long army as much as possible, it is natural to let the Shenwu-class warships bombard one round before landing and attacking!" Zheng Sen said with a straight face.

"Oh? Well, let's bombard him first, not only the six Shenwu-class warships, but also more than fifty warships will attack together, hahaha! Shen Jingchao nodded with a laugh.

All the warships together, there are more than a thousand cannons, Shen Jingchao has absolute confidence, after a round of bombing, there is absolutely no scum left in the castle of the Dutch!

"Reload, aim!"

The flag waved, all the sailors on the ship urgently reloaded their ammunition, and the six Shenmu-class warships adjusted their gun ports at a sea still five thousand meters away from the castle and aimed at the Dutchman's castle!

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

Six Shenwu-class warships and one hundred and sixty-eight Shenwu cannons fired at the same time.

The city was in flames, and the Dutch were struck by the sudden blow.

The Dutch general was even more stunned, God, he really wondered if it was a hallucination in his eyes, he saw something, the enemy ships opened fire directly at a distance of five thousand meters, and many shells hit their castle accurately.

This can't be, God is joking with him, how could the cannons of the Ming people shoot so far, farther than their bulky fortress cannons.

"Boom, boom, boom" After only twenty breaths, the six Shenwu-class warships of the Ming Navy opened fire again.

The same wave of one hundred and sixty-eight shells fell on the Dutch Chichi.

The flames soared, and the corpses of many Dutchmen were blown up into the sky and then turned into minced flesh and fell.

"Boom" Some cannonballs exploded next to the Dutch fortress cannons, and several fortress cannons were torn off the city by the powerful force of the shells.

The Dutch suffered heavy casualties, and for a moment the whole castle was crying wolf, and the Dutch could not believe that it was real.

"General! The enemy's artillery is too powerful! ”

"God, what are you kidding, how can you let the enemy have such a nightmare cannon!" The Dutch general's face was covered with the blood of soldiers torn apart by shells, and he looked very embarrassed.

The Dutch general could not imagine that the enemy had not yet begun a landing attack, and the artillery on the warship alone would make them powerless, and he did not know how such a battle could be fought!

In addition to the six Shenwu-class warships constantly firing cannons, more than fifty other warships also rushed towards the shore of the Red Embedded City with great momentum, once the Red Embedded City is included in the firing range, these more than fifty warships will also fire together, and then it will really be a nightmare for the Dutch people in the Red Embedded City!

When more than fifty warships rushed to within two thousand meters of Chichicheng City, six Shenwu-class warships had already carried out more than 20 shelling of Chichicheng City first!

It can be said that more than 50 warships with a close range have not fired a single shot, and the six Shenwu-class warships have already dumped no less than 3,500 shells at the Dutch in Chijicheng first.

It was terrifying, averaging nearly one cannonball on the head of all the Dutch in Red Nest.

The city was in ruins, and most of the 3,800 Dutch soldiers defending the city suffered casualties.
