More than fifty ships of Putmans stayed fifty miles away from Penghu, and the telescope observed.

Beside him stood two young men, both with the rank of major on their shoulders, who were also watching.

I don't know how long it took, but one of the majors said, "Your Excellency, Chichicheng and Penghu are too close. ”

The other continued: "That's right, there seems to be a garrison on Penghu, and if it is combined with the outside, it will be very troublesome." ”

Putmans put down his binoculars and said, "A Dutch soldier is worth thirty Ming troops, so let's get ready, let's go directly to Chiji City." ”

The two majors were named Pross and Balisa, and both of them frowned.

GLP said, "Your Excellency, this is too risky, and you will be attacked on your back. ”

Balisa also said: "Your Excellency, Penghu is a good place, you can attack and retreat, you can defend, if there is wind and rain, you can also take shelter temporarily." ”

Puttmans shook his head and said: "You don't understand, the Ming people are weaker than the natives in other places, they don't care here, instead of wasting time in Penghu, it is better to force them to surrender directly, they will be more obedient than the natives in other places." ”

GLP and Balissa looked at each other and shrugged.

"Red Embedded City."

Putmans turned his gaze in the direction of Taiwan and said expressionlessly.

With his order, the fleet began to turn and go straight to the southern hinterland of Taiwan.

At present, the southern part of Taiwan has been reclaimed, only a piece of land with the Red Embedded City as the core, Anping City is on the big island, is the military center in the south, and the Red Embedded City is across the river, whether it is on the water, or land to support the Red Embedded City will be very fast.

GLP has done his homework and has no opinion, in his opinion, this is the best way, to take the hinterland of the Ming people and force the lord to surrender, this is the best policy.

Balissa said, "Your Excellency, I suggest that Anping City be captured first, only by crushing their will to resist, all other places will fall to the wind." ”

Putmans was expressionless and said: "You don't know the Ming people, their heads must be in Chiji City, not in Anping City, as long as they take Chichi City, they will definitely surrender obediently." ”

GLP, Balisa naturally didn't have time to study the Ming Dynasty, and they all showed indifferent expressions when they heard the words.

Putmans stood aboard the largest warship, the Hector, his eyes looking in the direction of Taiwan, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile.

Putmans's fleet was directly beside him, and Shi Shiran passed between Penghu and Taiwan, and went straight to Chichicheng.

This scene was seen by Zheng Zhilong on Penghu, his face was blue with anger, and his eyes were on fire!

A lieutenant stood beside him, equally resentful, and said loudly, "My lord, the red-haired ghost has deceived me too much, and the last general is willing to take orders to support and destroy the red-haired ghost at sea!" ”

Zheng Zhilong's telescope, watching them pass by, sneered and said, "No, I'll go in person, give the order, Penghu will be closed and defended, no attack, mobilize all the warships, I will fight in person!" ”

There were three lieutenants beside him, and when they heard this, one of them said, "Don't be an adult!" Lord Xiong has repeatedly ordered that Penghu must not be lost! ”

"Yes, my lord, how can you do it without you?"

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There are only three thousand people in Chiji City, and the army is stationed in Anping City, and there are no ships, if the red-haired ghost directly attacks Chiji City, Anping City will not have time to rescue, and now only Ben Jiang can support." ”

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and their expressions were embarrassed.

Zheng Zhilong is right, from Anping City to support Chichicheng can not go to Neijiang, can only take a detour, but the time is too long, Chichicheng may not be able to hold it. If the city falls, half of the battle will be lost. But what if this is to divert the tiger from the mountain, or lure the Penghu naval battle? What about the real purpose of the red-haired people or Penghu?

There is a captain who expressed this concern, after all, the position of Penghu is too important, it can be attacked, retreated, defended, and can also be flanked with Taiwan, there is no reason not to attack Penghu first.

Zheng Zhilong also had this concern, but Chichicheng couldn't help but support, and said with a deep sigh: "I lead 2,000 people from the navy to the sea, and 3,000 people to defend the city, remember, you can't go to war behind closed doors!" Penghu is fully prepared, and there is no problem in holding it! Moreover, this official doesn't believe that my Ming navy will be inferior to those broken ships of the red-haired ghosts! ”

The navy of the Ming Dynasty is all organized, the warships are warships, fully equipped, and the artillery is sharp, on the other hand, the Dutch, most of them are still temporary merchant ships, except for a few big ships, the others are very ordinary!

Everyone thought about it again and again, and had to agree to Zheng Zhilong's battle plan, now only Penghu has the ability to support Chichicheng, and the main force of the navy will not rush over for a while, so it can only be decided on the spot.

There were forty warships stationed in Penghu, three medium ships, and the others were small ships, Zheng Zhilong mobilized them, and then they drove out, quietly following behind the Dutch.

When the Dutch fleet sailed past Luermen, Han Ziji of Anping City learned the news and was quite surprised.

"You mean, the Dutch didn't go to Penghu and came here directly?" He was really surprised, this was not a normal order of battle, it was very unexpected.

The lieutenant in front of him said, "Yes, it is not yet possible to tell whether they are coming for Anping or Chiji." ”

Han Ziji stood there, his brows furrowed.

The Dutchman's appearance was not expected by him, and all tactics had to be rethought.

His eyes flashed for a while, and he said, "Order Zhao Yingchen of Chi Embedded City, order him to only defend the battle, the first line of defense, the artillery array is fully open, if the red-haired people land on the shore, they must fight back with all their might!" ”

"Yes!" There was an order to hurry out.

Han Ziji has also been in battle for a long time, and he has been trained by the military academy a few times, and now he is standing there, his expression is calm, but he is constantly thinking in his heart.

He had no experience in fighting with the red-haired people, and even the Ming Dynasty did not have a suitable case, so he couldn't guess what they were doing and what their purpose was.

The lieutenant in front of him said: "My lord, the last general thinks that the red-haired people are coming at us, if Anping City is breached, other places will be defeated." His meaning is very simple, the Lord will be killed or captured in battle, which basically means that the war is over.

Han Ziji naturally knew that Anping City had 8,000 elite troops, complete artillery and muskets, so why did the Dutch think that they could easily break through it? If they delay for ten days and a half months, they will not be able to find their own death if they have no supplies at sea?

"Could it be that it's really akame?" Han Ziji said to himself, only by occupying Chichi can there be stable supplies, and then fight for a long time, but even if they occupy Chichi City, why do they think that a few thousand people can hold Chichi City, and the Ming Navy is 50,000!

By now, Han Ziji has even begun to doubt the grand strategy of the red-haired people, and he always feels that something is wrong, and it is indescribably weird, but it is incomprehensible.

"My lord, if not, send someone to Penghu for help, they have forty warships, which can be worth a battle!" A lieutenant suggested.

Han Ziji shook his head decisively and said, "Penghu can't be lost, if the red-haired ghost has a conspiracy, it is likely to go to Penghu." Temporarily...... Let's see what the red-haired ghost is going to do! ”

"Yes!" A group of people responded, and now they have to do it, and rash action will only give the enemy a chance.

From Zheng Zhilong to Han Ziji, they were all confused and nervous, but they didn't know that the root cause was that the Dutch didn't take them seriously at all.

When the Hector came to Neijiang, Putmans looked around with a telescope, shook his head slightly, and said in a rather regretful tone: "What a good place has not been cultivated. ”

Europe is generally a small country, with a small area of homeland, but the outside is different. The seven provinces of the Netherlands are still struggling for independence, and the places are not peaceful, but the outside is different, and they are often barren islands, all of which are several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times their territory!

GLP was also watching, and said unmindfully, "It's okay, just catch some people, I heard that there are a lot of Chinese people, and they can't survive, so if you give some sweetness, you will come to sell your life." ”

Balissa also smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you have an extra medal on your chest this year." ”

"Keep going." Putmans Road. He's decided, he's got all the island.

Although the Dutch were gradually approaching, Anping City and Chiji City were nervous, constantly watching, and the soldiers were all in good standby.

Although it was a bit windy today, there were still big baskets everywhere, locked on the sea, watching the Dutchman's every move.

Putmans didn't let Han Ziji doubt for long, and the army quickly turned around and rushed straight to Chijilou.
