John de Boer was obviously conscientious and a good castle guard, but he obviously didn't understand the form at this time, the ruined fortress, the very few troops, the collapsed morale, even if there was strong pressure, it was impossible for the soldiers to hold for long, in the past, the Red Embedded City was like an iron bucket, giving the soldiers a sense of security, even if the enemy besieged the city dozens of times, it was impossible to eat well in front of hundreds of cannons. [Full text reading. 】

But now the city is broken, the remnants of the army, and that is the time when he is fierce.

Stubbornness and bigotry are the things that great men do, but many great men finally paid the price of destroying the country and their lives for their stubbornness and paranoia, leaving only a regret to history.

Huys Zwart looked at the mad John de Boer and sighed, and he shouted: "Guard, please go down and rest, he needs to rest." ”

"You dare ——, Heyce, you're rebelling," John de Boer immediately cried out.

The already demoralized guards, of course, knew what the best option was now, and together they rushed forward, disarming John de Boer and then keeping him under control.

Huys Zwart said to one of the guards: "Order all the soldiers to stop resisting, lay down their arms, you go out with a few men and say to the enemy commander, we surrender, try to get some good treatment," he waved his hand.

Outside the castle, rows of arquebusiers fired hot bullets into the walls, and the walls were splashed with sparks, bricks and stones flew sideways, and the Dutch kept falling.

The Dutchman's riflemen still calmly fired S-shots, knocking down the Jinhua rebel arquebusiers who were exposed to their field of vision one by one.

This is the first time in history that arquebuses and arquebuses were against S in the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the first time that Westerners and Easterners were against S.

Quantity superiority prevailed over quality, the Dutch kept falling, even the riflingers, they only had fifty people, but they created a record of killing and wounding more than 200 arquebusiers of the Jinhua Righteous Army, but they were able to achieve such results at the moment, the arquebusiers of the Jinhua Righteous Army, Zhang Qiang trained according to the quality of the soldiers who shot the platoon guns in TV and movies.

They calmly faced death, and were able to march in orderly formation until the best S course of their arquebuses, and then stopped, and at the command of the officer, fired steadily S shots.

Even if there is a chance to kill the enemy, you can only wait for the officer to give the order to striking.

Qi S is always much better than killing one or two people by himself.

Liu Guoxuan and Zheng Tai were stunned to see such a spectacular arquebus against the siege of S.

This is much bloodier than the fight in the era of cold weapons, the bean-sized bullet hit the person's body, and the whole person was either knocked away, or the stump was broken, or the Tianling cover was overturned, and the brain burst out.

The soldiers are close to the enemy and fight in an almost cold and bloody way, bloody and cruel to the enemy, and bloody and cruel to themselves, which is incomparable to cold weapon combat.

From their point of view, it's literally a game where both sides slaughter each other together, and if you slaughter better than me, you win.

They trembled all over, squinting at Zhang Qiang, who was calmly on the side, like a bystander, as if he had nothing to do with himself, and there were many more things in his eyes.

The Dutch launched a storm, and a group of remaining old men and women, militiamen, together rushed down the city wall with knives and guns, shouting something, and rushed to the arquebusiers of the Jinhua rebels.

The arquebusiers quickly adjusted the ranks, and a platoon of soldiers quickly came out, crouched in the clearing, lined up, and raised their guns.

At the same time as the commander's command knife was swung hard, after a series of sounds like popping beans, white smoke filled the overhead, but all the Dutchmen who rushed in front were killed, the second platoon continued to fire, and after the third platoon, all the Dutchmen who rushed out were killed before they could get close to the arquebusiers fifty meters.

Some of the Dutch were also heavily armoured and wielded broadswords, while others were even highly skilled, riding warhorses with four-metre-long spears under their armpits.

But what's the use?

Even the horses were beaten into a sieve.

"Will the future battle be like this?" Liu Guoxuan asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, even more bloody than that, the side with the arquebus can kill the enemy at a very small cost, in a way that borders on slaughter."

"Even if the arquebusier is against S, the side of S Cheng Yuan can slaughter the side of S Cheng Near." Zhang Qiang said coldly.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the artillery is coming, do you want to open fire?" A Jinhua Volunteer Army artillery soldier asked.

Zhang Qiang asked people to advance the 36-pounder guns, 48-pounder guns, and 32-pounder guns, and the casualties of his troops were too great, which was the largest casualty faced by the troops since the formation of the army, and the largest casualties of the enemy's arquebus against S, so he was ready to use artillery to solve the last enemy, and even the enemy's castle was bombed into ruins.

"Look, what's that?" Zheng Jiajun pointed to a flag floating on the city wall.

"It's a white flag." Liu Guoxuan said.

"They surrendered?" Zheng Tai said excitedly.

After a while, several Dutchmen walked out of the castle gate with this white flag, and met Zhang Qiang, who was very tolerant and allowed them to surrender, and expressed their admiration for their heroic combat behavior, and they had done their duty to resist to the end.

For the bad and stubborn, Zhang Qiang will not have a good face, but Zhang Qiang still admires the soldiers who have fulfilled their duties and can take the initiative to surrender, after all, there is only one life, this is war, not vendetta, so Zhang Qiang will not kill them all.

Of course, these surrendered soldiers were treated differently from those who were captured after being defeated, they were also prisoners of war, but they could go back after light labor, if their side could pay the ransom, then they could go back, and if they couldn't pay the ransom, then after the end of the war, Zhang Qiang would also release them.

This is Zhang Qiang's promise to them.

Soon Zhang Qiang sat in the castle, which belonged to the hall of John de Boer's official residence.

"My lord, this Chiji City has been taken, is it time to go to Geranza City?" Jung Tae asked.

Liu Guoxuan touched his nose, quietly tugged at the corner of Zheng Tai's clothes, and then said to Zhang Qiang: "Lord Governor, this Chiji City is still handed over to the small one to guard for you, rest for a day, Lord Governor might as well go and meet with my general, take the city of Gelanza as soon as possible, and drive the Dutch out of my Ming land." ”

Zhang Qiang smiled: "I think so too, Jinhua still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, and I can leave it to you, but I have an agreement with the king of Yanping County, we need to station an army here to ensure our trade with you and the interests of our merchants, I don't know if the king of the county has explained to you?" ”

Liu Guoxuan hurriedly nodded and said: "We will definitely abide by it, all according to your method of the Governor, the Jinhua Righteous Army is so strong, we still have to rely on the Jinhua Righteous Army, what if the Dutch return?" ”

"Haha." Zhang Qiang knew that Liu Guoxuan was reassuring him, after all, Zheng Chenggong regarded this place as his territory, and other people's territory would definitely not be allowed to be touched by others, and Zhang Qiang didn't want to get involved here, he just wanted to ensure his maritime interests, and at the same time monitor Zheng Chenggong's people to prevent them from harming his own interests.

Zheng Chenggong is still in a period of rising strength, and it was not until 1661 that he could take the treasure island in history, and because of his own intervention, Zheng Chenggong won it in 1649, and it will be 1650 soon, which is more than ten years earlier than in history, Zheng Chenggong has so much time, and the development must be stronger and better than in history.

His backbone is still the Qing soldiers of the mainland, and it is the dream of all Chinese people to unify the mainland.
