The two Dutch ships were defeated and fled southwest, surely fleeing back to the city of Geranza to report the news. Although most of the Dutch army was annihilated, they still had a strong castle and more than 2,000 Dutch families, in order to increase the suddenness of the attack, Chen Yue did not dare to stay longer, and immediately ordered to go to the city of Geranza in the south of Dongfan Island.

The Dutch city of Geranza was located in the Anping area of Tainan in later generations, but the topography of this era was completely different from that of a few hundred years later.

In the south of Dayuan in the Ming Dynasty, there were a series of eleven sandbanks in the open sea, "Haiweng Line", "Jiaxing Bay", "Gap Tsai", "North Line End", "Da Kun Body", "Er Kun Body" ...... As a result, the "Seven Kun Body" forms a lagoon inland sea between it and the coastline, which is called "Taijiang".

Among them, the waterway between the end of the northern line and the body of Da Kun is the deepest, which can accommodate sea ships to pass through, and is the main port channel in and out of the Taijiang River. Among them, the big kun body is also known as the big member, and it is also the name of the folk of Dongfan Island in this era.

Of course, with the passage of time, these sandbanks gradually joined together and connected to the land, and due to a catastrophic flood 100 years later, the inland sea of the Taijiang River completely disappeared, which is the terrain of Tainan that we see in later generations.

However, in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, the Taijiang River still existed and was still an excellent haven, and the Dutch stronghold on Dongfan Island was on Dayuan Island. At this time, Dayuan Island was still a sandbar, and only a little bit of it was connected to the mainland.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, after the Dutch were defeated in Penghu by Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian Province of the Ming Dynasty, and Yu Zhisoo, the general soldier, they came to Dayuan and took a fancy to the superior geographical location of Dayuan Island at a glance. So he built a castle on Dayuan Island for the city of Geranza. Forts were built on Dayuan Island and at the end of the northern line to control the main harbor routes into the Taijiang Inland Sea.

In another time and space, when Zheng Chenggong, the "national surname", attacked the Dutch, because of the blockade of the fort, he could not pass through the main port road, so he could only choose to take advantage of the high tide to pass through the Luermen waterway between the sandbar and the land in the north at night. Not to mention the narrowness of the Luermen waterway, because the water level is too shallow, it is normal for large ships to pass, which is ignored by the Dutch.

On the largest Galen ship, Chen Yue looked at the rudimentary map of the Grand Guard, thinking about the strategy of attacking the city of Geranza. The map was drawn by the captive Duncan and others, and although it is not standard, it can also see the terrain near the big man.

If you want to attack Reshalan City, first of all, the fleet must enter the inner sea of the Dayuantai River, after all, the wind and waves in the open sea are too big for the fleet to moor. The tail end of Dayuan Island is connected to the mainland, although the connection is narrow, you can choose to board Dayuan Island from the mainland, and then attack the city of Geranza, if you do not enter the inland sea of the Taijiang River, you can only choose to rush to land on Dayuan Island, and you will inevitably be attacked by the castle and forts of Gelanza. This is naturally not advisable, so the first step must be to enter the Taijiang Inland Sea and then land.

There are two options for entering the inland sea of the Taijiang River, one is the main channel between Dayuan Island and the tail sandbank of the northern line, the water level is very deep and can pass through the big ships, but there are Dutch batteries to hold it, and if you pass through, you will inevitably be attacked by the batteries.

Another option is the Luermen Channel, which, according to Duncan, is so silted up that the water is too shallow for large ships to pass. Chen Yue knew that in another time and space, Zheng Chenggong's fleet was entering the Taijiang Inland Sea through the Luermen channel when the tide rose at night, so there should be no problem passing through here.

In fact, most of the Dutch fleet in Geranza has been captured by itself, and now there are only two warships left, while they have thirteen Galen warships and more than 600 cannons on them, which can completely attack the Dutch batteries with artillery and start a bombardment! As far as Chen Yue knew, there were only six heavy cannons on the Dutch battery.

In another time and space, Zheng Chenggong's fleet had a large number of ships, but there were basically no artillery, and the firepower was too different from the Dutch to attack at all. Now the situation is completely different, they have far more artillery than the Dutch, most of the Dutch warships were captured by themselves, without the artillery cooperation of the battleship, it is impossible to block the channel with a battery!

At this moment, Chen Yue suddenly jumped to try, he wanted to have a seventeenth-century artillery battle, with strong ships and cannons to attack the enemy's port, just like the great sailing game he once played.

But soon this idea was forcibly dispelled, fighting is not a game, and his subordinates are living lives. If you can enter the inland sea of the Taijiang River through the Luermen channel, why risk forcibly attacking the Dutch fort? The shells and gunpowder were also silver, and the ships were damaged by artillery and it was troublesome to repair. For the sake of the general, the gain and loss should be considered as a whole, and they should not act according to their own likes and angers.

Because it was a tailwind, it only took one day to reach Dayuan from Beigang. Originally, Penghu was the gateway to Dayuan, but that was for Fujian, and there was no need to go through Penghu from Beigang to Dayuan.

Relying on the charts, coupled with Duncan and other leading parties to guide the way, the fleet smoothly approached the sea of Dayuan.

By this time, the two Dutch ships that had escaped had fled back to the city of Geranza, and Major Philip informed the castle of the destruction of the Doge Caron. The entire city of Geranza was urgently mobilized, the 200 soldiers left behind plus the two warships that escaped back, and the Dutch still had more than 400 troops, but there were more than 2,000 family members, craftsmen and priests in the castle of Geranza, and these people were also urgently mobilized to take up arms to defend the castle.

At this moment, a huge fleet of ships appeared on the distant sea, the sails of the ships covered by the sky with towering masts, and looking at the Ming fleet that appeared in the distance, despair was born in the hearts of the Dutch in the castle of Reshaland.

The main force led by the governor Caron was completely wiped out, and with the few hundred troops left in the castle and two warships, could they resist the attack of the Ming people?

"For help, you must ask for help from Batavia!" Looking at the Aketo fleet that appeared in the distance, the Priest Ode Circuit.

Everyone knows that without reinforcements, it will be difficult to hold the city of Reshalam! But now there are only so many troops, and there are only two warships left, and if one more warship is sent to Batavia for help, it will be even more difficult for the rest of the people to hold the city of Geranza!

"Perhaps, we can try to make peace with the Akito and ask them what they really want." Major Philip pondered for a moment and suggested.

This Ming army is not Nikolai . The army of the first official did not have much to do with the city of Geranza, and perhaps they could persuade the Ming people to retire through peace talks. The worst case can also be delayed for some time.

Thinking of this, everyone nodded and agreed to Philip's suggestion.
