Chapter 422 The dog jumps over the wall

At this moment, in the heart of Fairburg, the fleet commander Vanderland, was cursing fiercely.

Zheng Sen's army came so suddenly, that he was completely caught off guard, and it was all the fault of Vanderlen's idiot!

And what about his fleet? Didn't you go to Penghu to set up an ambush?

The Chinese guys are all knocking on the door, and this reckless and stupid guy doesn't know what he's doing, and he doesn't move.

Originally, he sent a reconnaissance ship, but he was inexplicably driven back by this idiot, otherwise, he would not have gotten any news from such a big formation of the Chinese Yankees.

"Epsom! Damn stupid pigs! ”

Felburg scolded hatefully.

"My lord, the ...... of the lowly position"

At this time, Weidmann behind him called out to him timidly.

"Huh?"

Feuerburg was angry, turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that he looked like he wanted to say something, and asked impatiently, "What do you want to say?" ”

"It's not...... My lord, the tide is about to rise, and ...... lowly duty"

This is, going to war?

Feuerburg stared at Weidmann for a long time, and his mind gradually calmed down......

This, the Chinese have an old saying, called "a good man and three gangs", go into battle hard, and you have to rely on them.

After a long time, he spoke, but his tone was obviously softened a lot: "At the moment of the great enemy, a fierce battle is inevitable, so you can say anything you want." ”

"Yes, my lord,"

Seeing this, Weidemann was obviously relieved, and said boldly, "Although the Chinese are outnumbered, their firepower is very weak......

Seeing that Feuerburg did not mean to scold, he continued: "I think that our fleet should be the first to sail into the Taijiang River to block the landing of the Chinese. ”

"This nature,"

Feuerburg nodded, "However, the defense of Dayuan Port cannot be relaxed, in case the Chinese divide troops to attack......"

"Adults ...... Takami"

"So, you can't go out of the nest,"

Felburg narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Here...... Just leave two gunboats on guard, and you take four gunboats...... Grab a few more clippers and go right away to him. ”

"Yes, sir."

Weidmann paused.

"And,"

Feuerburg raised his hand and pointed ahead, and said in a deep voice, "There are so many ships of the Chinese Yankees, they will definitely attack in batches, and the northern line will be ...... It's still very important. ”

"Adult ......"

Weidmann blinked, not understanding.

"You go back, discuss it with your subordinates, and make a plan for attacking,"

Felburg muttered, "Let Captain Beder lead a team to reinforce the Japanese, and it's better to keep those guns, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, I understand,"

At this time, Weidmann understood, and hurriedly bowed in response.

The Governor finally realized the importance of Ojima on the northern line, and the purpose of his coming to ask for war was finally achieved.

Weidmann was just a mercenary and had a very low status in the company, but he was a retired veteran with a good tactical vision.

Although Zheng Chenggong's fleet suddenly appeared and the formation was very large, in addition to panicking, he immediately understood Zheng Chenggong's tactical intentions.

In his opinion, the Chinese raid on Luermen, although they were very clever in avoiding the mighty city of Geranza, was not impossible to fight, and it was not even necessary that there was no chance of victory.

You know, this German officer has always looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese.

He keenly saw that the first batch of landing ships of the Chinese must be the most powerful, and among those ships temporarily stranded in the open sea, there will inevitably be a large number of baggage transport ships with insufficient firepower.

Then, only by keeping the tail of the northern line can we effectively hit their follow-up echelon, making it difficult for them to take care of both the beginning and the end, and lose the ability to attack continuously, as long as they hold on until the tide ebb......

"Also, where is the city of Prominsha......"

Feuerburg didn't know Weidmann's thoughts, he thought for a moment, and then advised, "It's better to send a team of people too, it's too few to describe it." ”

At this moment, Fairburg quickly calculated the strength at hand.

Thanks to the contraction on the side of Bengang, at present, in the city of Geranza, where he is located, not counting the artillery, there are more than 1,100 musketeers alone, plus the newly recruited Japanese, the total strength exceeds 1,500 people.

However, he didn't expect Zheng Sen to attack the idea of covering the city first, so in addition to the three hundred Japanese armed with swords and spears to assist in the defense, the total number of musketeers and artillery there was only about 400, which was indeed a little less.

Since Zheng Sen went straight to the city of Puluo, then the pressure on the chief of the city to describe the difficult Ding Major was a bit great, and he had to try to reinforce it.

"Yes, my lord, then let's divide the army into three ways?"

Weidmann hunched over and flattered.

"Well, just divide the troops into three ways and give me a hard beating,"

Felburg straightened up, looked ahead, and said in a cruel voice, "These Chinese monkeys who don't know how high or low, let them taste the artillery fire and guns of the warriors!" ”

"Humble duty must not fail in the mission, my lord."

"Go ahead, behave well, the company won't treat you badly......"

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Weidmann's back, Feuerburg's heart was both apprehensive and expectant.

The fate of the adults depends entirely on them.

……

On the Dutch side, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, planning to block the attack, and Zheng Chenggong had also completed the pre-battle reconnaissance, and was gathering the generals to discuss the attack plan on his boat.

The tide is about to rise, and without further ado, the first sortie must be identified immediately.

Because the Luermen channel is too narrow, even if the tide is high, there are not many ships that can't pass in the eagerness, Zheng Chenggong decided to divide the troops into two routes.

Among them, the first echelon is the main battle force, Zheng Chenggong decided to personally lead the army, directly break into the Taijiang River, and successively landed at Heliao Port on the east bank to besiege the Chichicheng.

Since he would be attacked by land and water as soon as he entered the Inland Sea, Zheng Chenggong was very cautious, and he incorporated the seven main ships with the strongest firepower under his command into this route.

Coupled with a group of nimble small clippers to cooperate with the operation, he was ready to use more than 60 warships.

The largest ships under his command were not as large as the red-haired ones, sixty, which was the least equipped.

Because, although there are more than 200 ships in the second echelon left in the open sea, almost all of them are small gunboats, as well as more transport ships.

Zheng Chenggong must leave enough warships behind to protect the convoy.

Although there are very few gunboats in the Netherlands, it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to attack the open sea without guarding the inland sea, but he knows very well that these red-haired ghosts are very good, and he can't take chances and be too big.

In this way, even if the red hair dares to fight back, he will leave enough warships to fight more and less on the vast ocean, and there will be nothing to fear under the group fight.

However, similar to Weideman's vision, Zheng Chenggong's eyes were first focused on the small island that was stuck in the neck - the end of the northern line.

Although the northern end of the island is only a sandbar of less than one square kilometer, its southern end is opposite the city of Geranza, and the northern end is directly opposite the Luermen channel, so its geographical location is very important.

It can be said that whoever occupies there will have the first opportunity, and can attack and retreat.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong decided to solve the end of the northern line first before the high tide.

After taking a look at the scene, Zheng Chenggong found that Hongmao didn't seem to attach much importance to the garrison there.

On this small island, in addition to some useless bamboo and wood fortifications, the real defense facility is only a dilapidated watchtower, where no matter how you look at it, you can't put a few cannons.

It seems that this battle is not very difficult, but because it is the first battle, it has a great impact on the morale of the whole army, and it must be quickly resolved and won in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong decided to order the forward general, "Thunderbolt" Shi Lang, to play first.

It's a new month again, please support more, vote more, and give me more strength! Aoxue is here to thank you!
