Chapter 346: It's a breeze
The Dutch generals in the city were extremely lucky to survive the blow of more than 3,000 shells, and did not break their arms or legs.
The shelling continued, and the Dutch generals felt only a rumbling sound in their ears, and their heads were muddy.
Stepping on the broken bricks and flesh, the Dutch general stared blankly at the ruins around him.
"God, it's a nightmare!"
The Dutch general trembled, at this moment, he could no longer have any will to fight, and the heavy casualties of the soldiers also made him unable to find enough soldiers to defend the city, he knew that he would definitely not be able to defend the red city.
The honor of the great Netherlands will be interrupted in his hands! The Dutch general thought sadly.
However, what the Dutch general didn't know was that the honor of their so-called great Netherlands had long been lost with the total annihilation of the Far East Fleet, and it was not his turn to be a small defender of the Red Embedded City.
"Hey, no, you can't do this, I want to surrender, I want to surrender" The Dutch general stared at the sea, at this time, in addition to the six Shenwu-class warships constantly firing cannons in the open sea, more than 50 other warships of the Ming Navy also rushed to within two kilometers of Chichicheng, and thousands of guns were aimed at Chichicheng.
The defenders, who were already dead and wounded, saw this scene and were completely desperate.
They couldn't resist the cannons of the six ships, and now there were more than fifty of them ready to fire at them, so that they could not even keep their bones!
The remaining Dutch wanted to fight back and resist, but unfortunately their thirty fortress cannons had already been lost under the bombardment of the Shenwu-class warships, and they couldn't fight back at all!
Shen Jingchao's face was full of a solemn smile, like a hellish grim reaper.
"Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom" thousands of cannons were fired in unison, and the Red Embedded City, which was already in ruins, was once again shrouded in a sea of fire.
The Dutch, who had already killed and injured most of them, were ravaged again, and the entire Red Castle, which had just been repaired for less than a year, was razed in an instant, and nothing existed, and the Netherlands of the Red Castle was directly hit by a cannonball in a desperate situation, and the consciousness fell into eternal darkness under a tearing pain.
In the distance, Yan Yingyuan, the commander of the Fourth Army, and Feng Houdun, the general of the staff, watched all this.
The corners of their mouths twitched.
"How many shells have been wasted by this group of losers in the navy, the castles of the Dutch have been blown up by them, there must not be a single hair left, what do you want our Fourth Army to do, just do it and watch? I can't get the soup! ”
Feng Houdun was already a little short-tempered, but now he couldn't help it at all, and scolded loudly.
"Big brother, if the navy continues to bomb like this, what will happen to our Fourth Army?"
The corners of Yan Yingyuan's mouth twitched again, and his eyes darkened suddenly.
"Zheng Sen, this kid, is ruthless enough!"
He was not very familiar with Shen Jingchao, so Yan Yingyuan didn't bother to say anything, so he could only use Zheng Sen to vent his anger, thinking in his heart that he must let Zheng Sen taste his current taste if he had a chance.
More than 1,000 cannons from the two major fleets of the navy bombarded two rounds in a row, and Shen Jingchao and Zheng Sen were satisfied enough to order to stop the shelling.
Now it was finally the turn of the Fourth Army to land, it was not easy, and some soldiers of the Ying Long Army burst into tears!
Hundreds of troop carriers carrying the Fourth Army passed the ships and came to a halt with a thud.
"Kill"
When Yan Yingyuan led the soldiers of the Ying Long Army to the Red Embedded City, all that caught his eye was a piece of ruins and a strong smell of blood, which was undoubtedly Dutch.
", that's too bad!" Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but burst out of the exit anymore.
It was simply too much, looking at the past, there was almost no one alive, there were broken bricks and Dutch corpses everywhere, and Ying Long's army could be said to have captured one of Taiwan's two main castles, Chichicheng, without firing a single shot.
"Quick, look for any Dutch soldiers alive!" Yan Yingyuan ordered.
Thousands of soldiers of the Ying Long Army immediately dispersed to search.
Although such a scene is miserable, Yan Yingyuan does not think that there is no one alive, after all, the navy fires a lot of shells, but thousands of Dutch soldiers are not all killed.
Sure enough, after searching together, the soldiers of the Ying Long Army found hundreds of surviving Dutch soldiers.
These surviving Dutch soldiers were all stunned, and they all seemed to be frightened stupidly, indeed, the Ming navy fired at least six or seven thousand shells at them, if it was counted, it was at least a million taels of silver, it can be said that the more than 3,000 Dutch defenders in the Red Embedded City were killed with silver, which was indeed too much.
Millions of taels of silver were smashed like this, not to mention that Yan Yingyuan and the others felt that it was excessive, when Zhu Ci knew about it, they couldn't help but scold, and finally ordered Shen Jingchao and Zheng Sen to find a way to earn it back, otherwise they would all be punished!
To get back to the point, in this landing operation, because of the navy's defeat, Yan Yingyuan and the others can be said to have easily achieved the goal planned in advance.
There is no doubt that Chichicheng has been taken down very smoothly, and then there is another big city in Taiwan, and it is also the largest city in Taiwan.
Taiwan City is a county town originally set up by the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most important stronghold of the Dutch in Taiwan.
Without further ado, Yan Yingyuan did not take the Fourth Army to stay in the ruins of the Red Embedded City, and led the Fourth Army to Taiwan City on the same day!
With the fall of Chichicheng and the rumors of the annihilation of the Far Eastern Fleet, the Dutch in Taiwan City were panicked, and they didn't know how to confirm it for a while, and they had to prevent Ying Long's army from approaching the city, and Viscount Tobes in Taiwan City was so anxious that he was about to burst into flames.
"God, is the Far Eastern Fleet really annihilated, so that no one will come to report it! What should we do, how can we hold the city of Taiwan without the support of the Far Eastern Fleet! ”
The city had fallen so quickly that the Dutch had long since lost their arrogance and became frightened.
Nearly 6,000 Dutch soldiers all cowered in the city of Taiwan, and with the rapid pounce of the Fourth Army, they were like ants on a hot pot!
