After receiving the order of Colonel Albert, the adjutant Henk, who was also about to fall asleep, had no choice but to put on his military uniform and go to the gate of the fort of Gelanjia City with the guards guarding the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Henk came out of the small side door next to the fort gate and saw Joseph waiting in front of the fort gate, Henk frowned, but Joseph smiled slightly.

"I'm Captain Henk, who are you? Why is it that the Governor wants to send troops here, and we don't know anything about it? ”

Henk, who had been disturbed by his good sleep, looked dissatisfied, and he shouted loudly as he walked.

Joseph replied with a smile on his face: "Here is Ensign John, we have just arrived in Taiwan from Batavia, and together with these familiar servants, we have been sent here by the Governor to garrison here, I think it is because the matter is urgent, and the Governor has not had time to inform you." ”

Henk frowned, looked Joseph up and down, and asked, "Then what about the secret letter you brought with you, Lord Governor, show it to me." ”

Joseph sighed, shrugged his shoulders, pointed to Li Xiao, who was standing on his horse in the darkness not far away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ensign, the letter is in our major, please come with me to talk to him." ”

Henk didn't doubt him, so he mumbled and came to Li Xiao's side with Joseph.

"Your name is 。。。。。。"

Before Henk could finish his sentence, a shiny and sharp decapitator slammed into his throat.

"Henk, if you want to live, you'd better not shout." Joseph's words next to him were very cold.

Henk, whose blade was pressed against his throat, had an earthy face, his whole body trembling like chaff, and a few indistinct words came out of his mouth: "You, who are you?" ”

"We are the Ming army, if you know each other, don't make a noise, and quickly take our army into the city." Li Xiao's voice was low and clear.

After listening to Joseph's translation, Henk's blue eyes blinked, and he made a decision in an instant.

"Okay, I'll take you in, please don't hurt me." Henk looked sad and sad.

"Very good, count you as acquaintances!"

Li Xiao put down the blade resting on Henk's neck, and at this time, there were immediately two sharp knife tips, one left and one right, tightly pressed against Henk's waist from behind.

Like a puppet, Henk was caught between two fake dragoons and struggled towards the fort gate.

Soon, a group of dragoons surrounded Henk and came to the outside of the fort gate.

"Major, how are you 。。。。。。?"

One of the guards of the city asked a strange question when he saw that Henk's face was pale and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

Henk waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to ask more questions and opened the gates immediately.

The guards of the fort said yes, and shouted back to the city, and the defenders above began to creak and twist the chains, and lifted the iron gate behind the door, and then opened the solid wooden fort door covered with thick iron sheets.

Seeing that this Relan Jiaocheng actually made a double fortress gate of light and dark, Li Xiao thought to himself, fortunately, this Henk opened the city gate by fraud, otherwise, if he wanted to attack hard, it would be difficult to succeed.

When the gates were opened, a hundred dragoons rode in.

Next, the Manchurian infantry pretended to be a familiar servant army and entered in columns.

After the Manchurian infantry entered, the Dutch spearmen, disguised as the sentry posts, also slowly entered in a column.

Seeing that his army had all entered smoothly, Li Xiao was very happy in his heart, and Joseph and the others next to him also had a relaxed expression.

It's just that when these fake Dutch spearmen were only a third of the way in, an accident happened.

A fake spearman standing at the edge of the line, with an iron helmet hat unfastened, was knocked to the ground by the tip of a spearman in front of him, revealing a hairband.

He subconsciously bent down to pick him up, and was immediately seen clearly by the Dutch guards on the side.

"Oh my God! They are fake, they are Chinese, quickly put down the floodgates! The soldier shouted loudly in Dutch.

When the Dutch soldiers on the fort gate heard this, they were all shocked, and hurriedly pulled up the hinch and smashed the thousand catties of iron gate!

"Bang!"

The iron gate was smashed down, and the three rampaging team members who couldn't dodge for a while were smashed alive by screaming!

There were about 400 rampaging players in the back, completely isolated from the fort gate!

Li Xiao's face suddenly turned cold.

"Fuck, what a fucking shame!"

The fake dragoon who was holding Henk raised his knife and stabbed him through the neck, causing him to make a strange sound and fall to the ground like a log.

The Dutch guard, who shouted for the Ming army to enter the city, was also pierced by several spears at the same time, and died of convulsions.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth, brushed the ground and pulled out his sword, and shouted: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, the dragoons will directly attack the city with their own officials, and the Manchurian infantry and rampant sentry who enter the city will immediately capture the outer city walls, and they must capture the forts everywhere!" ”

"Order!"

Soon, a group of dragoons, pretended by the escort cavalry, galloped towards the entrance of the inner city.

The rest of the Manchurian infantry and one-third of the number of horizontal sentry posts that entered the city, under the leadership of Li Dingguo, the commander of the Pingnan battalion, divided into several routes and attacked and killed each city wall.

In the entire city of Relan, there were suddenly shouts of killing, the sound of swords slashing, the sound of stabbing muscles and bones, and the screams of dying were all over the place.

The shouts of murder from the outer city immediately alarmed Colonel Albert, who was preparing to sleep in the inner city, and he sat up from his bed like a frightened fish.

"What's going on?! Damn, I can't sleep well, is it the Chinese who have attacked the city? Colonel Albert cursed loudly as he dressed.

An inner city guard soldier ran into the room panting and shouted to him: "That's right, colonel, the Ming army has invaded the city!" ”

Albert's dark blue eyes widened, as if he had heard some incredible news.

"What did you say?!"

"Colonel, the Ming army has entered the city, and the Chinese army has disguised itself as our army and mixed into the city of Relanjia!"

Yes?!

No way?!

This city is so tightly guarded, there is only one sea way to enter, and there are four grass sea forts and hot befei law forts outside, how can these damn yellow-skinned monkeys still sneak into the city so quietly?!

"So, is the inner city gate closed?!" Albert, whose mind was suddenly in a state of confusion, suddenly thought of this.

"It's closed, Colonel, and when we hear that the fighting is beginning in the outer city, we immediately close the gates of the inner city." The guard replied hurriedly.

Albert's face was slightly relaxed, and after he had finished dressing, he urgently put on his cuirass, grabbed his hat and put it on his head, and said loudly as he walked out: "Pass my order, all the soldiers in the inner city are on the city wall to guard, and you must stop this Ming army!" In addition, urgently fire a trumpet cannon to let the defenders of Chichicheng and Prominxia City know that the city of Gelanjia has been attacked! “

"Yes!"

When Li Xiao led a group of fake dragoons to the inner city gate, the inner city gate just slammed shut.

", it's still a step too late!"

Some of the cavalry members scolded angrily, and Li Xiao also frowned.

What to do?

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

"The whole army swept away the Dutch soldiers in the outer city, opened the gate of the castle of Gelan, let our gunners enter the city, and use the artillery of the outer city to forcibly blast open the inner city wall!"

Li Xiao shouted angrily, and then led a group of escort cavalry to gallop through the streets of the fort, slashing and killing the Dutch defenders who had just run out of the rooms on both sides of the street and had not done much.

At this time, Li Xiao and all the soldiers and horses in the city heard a deafening sound of horns and cannons.

"Lord Li, they're asking for reinforcements from Chiji City!" Joseph on the side said hurriedly.

"Don't panic! In the middle of the night, the Dutch Red in the Red City and Promincia City did not know the situation, and they did not dare to send reinforcements easily, and the only role of the enemy troops in the inner city was to tell them that there was a foreign enemy attack, and they could prepare in advance. Li Xiao frowned and quickly judged the situation.

Standing at the head of the inner city, looking at the Ming soldiers who were chasing the Dutch defenders in the outer city, Colonel Albert was like an ant on a hot pot.

He knew that the defenders of the outer city were only more than 300 people, while the Ming army that entered the city had nearly 800 people, which was several times that of his own army.

"Colonel, the outer city can't be defended."

Seeing that the Ming army was becoming more and more courageous and rushed to the city wall, a cronie next to Albert whispered in despair.

Albert's face suddenly flashed with a hint of hideousness.

Now, is there any way but to grit your teeth and fight to the death?

It is hoped that the more than 200 Dutch soldiers guarding the inner city can rely on the strong walls to hold on until the reinforcements arrive tomorrow.

Albert sighed lightly, subconsciously drew a cross on his chest, and prayed to God in his heart.

It was only at this time that Li Dingguo, the commander of the Pingnan battalion, had already led the spearmen who were pretended to be rampant sentries and attacked the gate tower of Relan Jiacheng.

"Poof!"

Li Dingguo, who was holding a sharp long knife in his hand, slashed the head of a Dutch soldier who couldn't dodge, and he roared angrily with a face sprayed with blood: "Quickly pull up the gate and let our gunners enter the city!" ”

Soon, the Dutch army above the fort gate was slashed and flown by the fierce tiger army, and several soldiers gritted their teeth and worked together to slowly pull up the iron gate gate.

The remaining rampant sentinels, who were waiting anxiously and furiously outside the fort gates, immediately rushed into the city shouting and brandishing their weapons.

At the same time, several cavalry guards immediately rushed out of the city on horseback, went to the shore of Dayuan Island, and informed Li Xiao of the order to send gunners into the city.

After only a quarter of an hour, the Tigers basically wiped out the Dutch soldiers in the outer city, and the rest surrendered, and all the artillery on the fortress gate and all the outer city walls were occupied by the Ming army.

Soon, a brief battle report showed that more than 180 Dutch troops had been killed, and another 100 had surrendered.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

。。。。。。

Hearing the continuous cheers of the Ming army in the outer city, Colonel Albert, who was guarding the head of the inner city, couldn't help but look like earth.

"Oh my God, these Chinese barbarians are so capable of fighting, can they really hold this inner city of their own?" Albert's heart was beating a drum.

He turned to his entourage, and found that they were looking at him with the same frightened eyes.

Albert could read their eyes.

These pitiful eyes looking at himself undoubtedly mean the same thing.

That is, now that the enemy is outnumbered and has no chance of winning, it is better to surrender to the Ming army before the Ming army has begun to attack the city.

"Everyone, please believe me, the inner city of this Relanjia is extremely strong, nine meters high and one meter and two thick, and it will not be easy for the Ming army to capture it! As long as we hold out until dawn, I believe that the Governor will definitely send reinforcements, and when the time comes, we will be able to wipe out these damn yellow-skinned monkeys in one fell swoop! ”

After Albert finished saying these encouraging words, he shook his fist vigorously, showing his determination not to give in.

It's just that what answered him was an embarrassing silence.

Albert's face was very ugly, he endured it and did not have a seizure, but he turned his head in a daze, but saw a scene that stunned him.

He saw that the Dutch soldiers who had surrendered to the Ming army were working hard to move the artillery at the head of the outer city and turn the muzzle of the guns to the inner city!

It turned out that when these surrendered Dutch soldiers were brought to Li Xiao in front of Li Xiao, Li Xiao suddenly thought that since there were so many Dutch surrendered troops, there was no need to wait for their own artillerymen to arrive, it was better to let them turn the artillery at the head of the city and attack the inner city, but it was more convenient and more skillful in operation.

After Li Xiao's order was issued, the Dutch soldiers who surrendered suddenly looked hesitant and embarrassed.

There was even a guy who immediately knelt in front of Li Xiao and begged him to let them go and not let the Dutch kill each other.

Li Xiao gave this guy with a sad face and a kind smile in return, and then, brushing the ground and drawing a knife, he shouted angrily and cut off his head. The severed head rolled far away, and its eyes were still wide open, as if it had not yet understood why it had died.

Li Xiao slowly retracted his knife, his cold gaze swept around the surrendered Dutch soldiers who were trembling with fright, and snorted coldly: "If you are not willing to serve, then there is no need for this official to keep you, whether you are dead or alive, you have to think about it carefully!" ”

After listening to Joseph's translation, the Dutch soldiers who surrendered were all frightened, and immediately expressed their willingness to open artillery to attack the inner city, only begging Lord Li to be merciful and not to harm their lives.

Soon, the large-caliber cannons on the outer city walls turned their muzzles and headed towards the inner city.

Only then did a smile resurfaced on Li Xiao's face.

This trick of bombarding the inner city with artillery from the outer city is actually not Li Xiao's original invention, but in history, Zheng Chenggong used this method to finally capture the inner city of the hot blockade city. The current Li Xiao is just using this method more than 20 years in advance.

After seeing the Dutch soldiers who were turning their guns towards the inner city, the Dutch soldiers at the head of the inner city were already frightened, and some even turned around and fled.

"Don't run, leave me on the walls!" Albert yelled angrily.

However, his shouts did not work, and more than twenty Dutch soldiers, screaming loudly and like rabbits, turned around and ran down the walls.

"Mr. Colonel, let's surrender!" A cronie whispered urgently.

Before Albert could answer, a dense burst of cannon fire had already begun.

Dozens of large cannons fired from the four walls of the outer city, the sound of the cannons was deafening, the golden-red embers flying from the muzzles of the cannons were very dazzling in this moonlit night, and dozens of huge black iron bullets roared towards the inner city walls, smashing the solid inner city walls made of sugar water, glutinous rice, oyster shell gray sand, and smashing out huge black holes surrounded by cobweb-like cracks.

Coincidentally, a whistling cannonball was smashing into the battlement beside Albert, and the huge impact force smashed the place into gravel and dust, and the high-bounced iron bullet swept up obliquely, and smashed the two Dutch soldiers who had no time to react.

Colonel Albert, on the other hand, did not stand firm for a moment under this violent impact, staggered a few steps back, and fell backwards from the city wall.

Colonel Albert, who was falling at high speed and screaming loudly, clearly saw a huge white flag waving violently at the head of the city a second before it collided with the hard ground.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Colonel Albert, who fell from the wall more than nine meters high, completely fell into a puddle of flesh.
