Chapter 209: Night Raid

"The Dutch are worthy of the coachmen of the sea!" Zhou Li couldn't help but sigh!

The inner harbor of Yuewan is like a half-park, and the mouth of the sea is only one or two kilometers. The Dutch built two fortresses on two corners, and perfectly blocked Moon Bay with the help of rocky cliffs. If you want to enter the interior of Moon Bay, you have to break through the artillery group, otherwise you have to cross countless mountains and forests to appear from the rear!

Historically, Zheng Sen also took advantage of the high tide to break through a fortress by taking advantage of the Dutch's carelessness.

Qiu Sen nodded in agreement: "The Dutch also have a lot of large artillery, at least hundred!" The fort is also very well closed, and the giant snake is not easy to break through! ”

"Well, but it's time for these barrels to warm up!" Zhou Li smiled, just training the gunners of the sailors.

"Aim and sink, sink their gunboats as much as you can!" Governor Aoiichi also very much hopes to keep this pearl of the Orient, after all, he has to work hard again as soon as he leaves here!

"Don't worry! Governor. It is easier to target a battleship on land. The major immediately opened his mouth to cheer up the gunners!

The Han naval division consisted of a total of ten second-class battleships and twenty third-class battleships. Twenty 200-mm general guns and forty 100-mm medium guns for the 2nd class battleship. The third-class battleship had 10 main guns and 20 secondary guns.

Thirty ships: 400 main guns and 800 secondary guns. These were the main gunboats of both fleets, and there were also many fukubunes equipped with small and medium-sized guns.

There are two battery groups in the Netherlands, with a total of 100 main guns, 200 secondary guns, and more dense small cannons on the city wall. After the fall of Ao Island, the Dutch also increased their defensive strength, and the stone fort of the city wall was also specially thickened and reinforced.

If the Han army didn't want to rush to the beach with human lives, the three thousand Dutch couldn't do anything! After all, they have 2,000 artillery men, and there are only 1,000 real firecrackers, although there are still a few hundred mercenaries from various countries who have been sent urgently, but this is too few.

Thirty battleships began to run the battle line, and two hundred guns were pointed in the direction of the battery.

"Open fire." The Dutch battery opened fire first, and a hundred iron balls immediately blasted out.

Although the land aim is accurate, it is not easy to hit the moving ship.

Boom~ The warship shook, and the iron ball smashed a big hole in the deck.

"Stop aiming." Qiu Sen didn't care at all, the warship was smashed! If you want to destroy the battleship, at least a few dozen iron balls.

Boom ~ squirt ~~

Two hundred iron balls erupted one after another, and thick smoke also filled the air.

Boom~ The bricks and stones are flying, even if the bombardment is not accurate, the huge castle is also shaking.

"Get moving." After firing the guns, the warship immediately swam away.

Boom~~ A few minutes later, the Dutch artillery also retaliated, but unfortunately it only broke some planks.

The artillery of this era is like this, you come and go, but the results are not great.

In this way, the bombardment lasted for three days, and half of the thirty battleships had to withdraw from the battle. The casualties were not large, but the sail hull was badly damaged!

"Haha, the Han army has retreated!" The Dutch cheered! Although their walls and stone forts were also dilapidated, the forts were blasted out of huge gaps! They also lost a quarter of their artillery, but the Han lost even more artillery.

When night falls, it should be a quiet night.

However, the Han marines boarded dozens of small clippers, and the two thousand death squads were all very quiet and calm.

"Snake King, after capturing the artillery group and letting the marines occupy it, the Giant Snake Army will retreat." Qiu Sen couldn't help but explain.

Sigh~ As soon as the giant snake's tongue spit out, the snake's head also moved up and down.

Papapa~~ Forty giant snakes all burrowed into the water, and there were Dutch ships patrolling on the water, and they also had to avoid the patrol.

After waiting for three quarters of an hour, Qiu Sen immediately ordered: "Let's go." ”

Battle flags waved, unusually bright in the lights.

Dozens of clippers immediately went ahead, and then hundreds of small and medium-sized warships followed one after another.

The moonlight was faint, but the patrol still spotted the shadow of the Han army's sailors. They were just about to confirm the situation, but the screams from the rear alarmed them.

It was difficult for the giant snake to get into the originally closed fort, but after the shelling, the stone wall of the fort has now been broken!

"What's the noise?" The Dutch gunner on duty asked strangely!

Sigh~~ The giant snake crawled quickly, whistling like a strange wind.

"What's that?" The Dutch on the rear walls were shocked!

The Dutch artillerymen of the battery stuck out their heads and looked, and a huge snake shadow immediately appeared in their eyes.

"Ahh God~"

"No~ sell melons!"

Bumper Bumper ~~ The giant snake that drilled into the fort, the snake's head rushed like a hammer, and the Dutch who were hit all vomited blood and shouted pity!

"Ahh Sea monster! ”

"Monster!"

The Dutch on the city wall behind them heard the screams, and even the soldiers resting in the city slowly woke up!

"Go down to the fort! Fast! "The captain shouted! The battery must not be lost! Otherwise, you can only be shelled by the Han army!

Hundreds of Dutchmen, as soon as they got out of the city, rushed to the battery from the entrance of the passage in the city!

"Oh no!" A few soldiers who rushed into the battery first suddenly screamed!

The soldiers in the back panicked, and the dark hole in front of them was like an entrance to hell.

"Shoot! Indiscriminate shooting! The captain in the back immediately shouted!

Bang Bang Bang~~ A few firecrackers shot immediately, causing the giant snake to bleed a lot.

Sigh~ The giant snake was furious and immediately rushed to the passage!

The hurricane is coming, and the smell of fish is very strong!

"Oh no! Monster! "Seeing the huge teeth, the Dutch immediately turned and fled! It's a pity that they ran away again, the giant snake rolled directly and crushed dozens of Dutchmen.

"Let's go, let's go!" Just hearing the screams, the Dutch hurried away.

"Shoot fast, don't let the monsters come out." The fleeing captain immediately shouted!

The musketeers outside the two passages were startled and immediately shot at the entrance of the cave! The screams inside are still terrible.

Bang bang bang ~ dozens of iron beads immediately flew out.

Seeing the firelight, the giant snake immediately bowed its head! However, the head was still beaten and the blood flowed, and the giant snake that suffered from pain immediately retreated!

The serpent retreated, but the Dutch did not dare to enter again!

"What the hell is going on! Why don't you take back the fort quickly? "Governor Aoiichi who came in time cursed! This waste is still piled up under the city!

The captain panicked and immediately spoke: "Governor, there are sea monsters in it that are very huge!" ”

"Nonsense, rush in for me, you must recapture the fort!" The governor jumped up and scolded, what kind of sea monster really didn't wake up!

The captain was secretly angry and bowed his head and was silent! Whoever is on whom, he can't help it anyway!

"You, you?" Governor Aoiichi almost died of anger! Hundreds of soldiers did not listen to orders.

At this time, the soldiers who rushed to the city wall also discovered the situation outside the city!

"Governor, the Han army has landed, there are a lot of people! Some have already entered the battery! ”

"What!" The Doge immediately ran to the walls!

At a glance, a confused shadow landed on the shore, and there were even dozens of giant snakes on the shore!

This is a sea monster! Governor Aoiichi understood! It must have been a sudden attack by these monsters, and the artillerymen resting in the battery couldn't react at all!

The legend turned out to be true!

The small cannons in the city can't hit a few hundred meters, and now they can't help it! Is it a decisive battle out of the city! Don't think about it!

"It's about to blow up the passage, and you can't let the Han army come out!"

"Commander of the Order!" The captain immediately took the order, and he also wanted to blow up these harmful passages!!

After a few explosions, the passage was ruined! After that, the Han army did not attack, but the Dutch in the city could not sleep all night!

There were hundreds of casualties in the artillery battle before, and now there are only more than two thousand soldiers in the two castles! The hundreds of mercenaries are even more flustered, and it is estimated that they are also preparing to slip away!
