Chapter 848 Recovering Taiwan
In the middle of the night, the oil lamps flashed in the fort, and the summer moths popped into the lampshade and made a sound, and the Dutchman who was napping against the wall did not bother to lift his head, so he continued to sleep.
Three hundred Ming soldiers touched the bottom of the fortress, several soldiers took out the flying hook, shook it a few times, and then threw it at the fortress, the iron hook touched the wall, making a sound, but it was covered by the howling sea breeze in Xia and the chirping of insects and frogs.
Gan Hui waited for a while, there was no sound on the fort, and he didn't notice it, he pulled the rope, and after making sure that the flying hook was firmly grasped, he immediately held the Miao knife at his waist in his mouth, grabbed the rope with both hands, and stepped on the castle wall, and quickly climbed up.
Dozens of figures climbed along the wall, while the soldiers below looked up, and as soon as the climbing soldiers reached the fort, they immediately continued to climb.
The Dutch are still very good at building the fortress, the wall is extremely high, Gan Hui climbed up, poked his head out and looked left and right, there was candlelight in the fort tower, there were figures shaking in the window, and there were laughter and laughter coming from it, and not far from him, several Dutchmen were sleeping against the fort wall.
Gan Hui turned over lightly and went to the castle, held the Miao knife in his mouth, held it in his hand, and touched a few Heyi's side, waiting for a few more people to climb up, each of them looked at a Heyi, Gan Hui immediately waved his hand, several Ming soldiers moved at the same time, they covered Heyi's mouth with one hand, and held the Miao knife with the other, like killing chickens, it was just like that, and suddenly the throat was ruptured, and the blood gushed out.
The pain woke these Heyi from their dreams, looked at the ghostly enemy in horror, and wanted to make a sound, but their mouths were covered by the fierce Ming army, their throats gurgled and bloody, their bodies were pressed by the legs of the Ming army, and their hands slapped weakly a few times, and they lost their strength one by one and died silently.
Gan Hui gently put down the corpse that he cut his throat, and then gestured a few times, and more than a dozen soldiers carried blood-dripping Miao knives, quietly went down to open the gate of the fort, and enlarged the team into the fort, while he led more than ten people to touch a fort building.
He and his soldiers leaned against each side of the door, and the voices from inside came out in the language of the vassal state, with the sound of dice, as if they were gambling for money.
Gan Hui waved his hand, an elite Ming soldier suddenly flew out with a kick, kicked the door open, more than a dozen Ming soldiers outside, swarming in together, seven or eight Dutch Yi, were gambling around a table, before they could react, Gan Hui slashed a person to death from behind with a knife, and then pushed the table with his body, knocking several Heyi back again and again, directly forcing them into the corner.
This collision made room for the Ming army that rushed in behind, and the Ming army quickly poured into the fort tower, cutting down the Dutch who were caught off guard one by one, and screamed again and again in an instant.
A Dutchman who seemed to be a small leader, reacted quickly, and took out a wire-like sword from his waist, piercing the armor of a Ming army.
This surprised Gan Hui a little and did not continue to attack, but Na Heyi jumped on his feet and stabbed him with the wire in his hand, forcing Gan Hui to take two steps back.
Seeing this, Heyi's face was happy, and he made persistent efforts, his body shook twice, and he stabbed again, Gan Hui was already familiar with his doorway, his eyes were sharp, and he did not retreat but advanced, and the Miao knife waved to the side, splitting the thin sword, and grabbed it in front of Heyi in a few steps, in Heyi's frightened gaze, the knife turned around, and slashed upward, leaving an oblique mark on Heyi's face in an instant, and Heyi slowly fell.
Heyi's sword, which is mainly stabbed, is finished immediately as soon as it is close to the body.
Gan Hui carried the blood-dripping war knife and looked around, the Heyi inside had been slaughtered, many soldiers had begun to touch the money on the corpse, and some had taken a fancy to the armor hanging on the pillar and were about to take it off.
"Kill all the Heyi in the fort first, and now no one is allowed to take it!"
At this time, the gate of the fort had been opened by the soldiers who went down first, and the Ming army outside immediately rushed into the fort with shouts, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.
The movement on the island at the end of the northern line immediately attracted the attention of Fort Geranza and the Dutch sailors in the harbor.
The Governor of Taiwan, Fairberg, was called from his room, hurriedly put on a dress, and ran to the conference hall, where many parliamentarians had already arrived, and the commander of the fleet, Kauwu, also hurried over.
"What's going on?" Feerberg asked aloud.
"Your Excellency, it seems to be a fortress on the island of the tail of the northern line, and it has been raided!" He said in a deep voice: "Maybe the Chinese have entered the inner bay from Luermen." ”
Kaowu couldn't believe it when he heard it, "Ah, how is it possible, Luermen can't go on a big ship, how can the Chinese come in!" ”
"If it's high tide, you can still enter, but you also need to be familiar with the route!"
"So someone in the council betrayed the company!" Kao Wu immediately became angry.
Everyone looked at each other, there was no acquaintance to lead the way, there was no chart, the Dutch could not walk Luermen, if the Ming army could go, it must have been a chart in advance, and the water depth of Luermen was measured.
In the conference hall, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, claiming to find out the traitor, and the chief secretary He Bin saw this, his face was panicked, and he immediately took a step back and quietly withdrew from the conference hall.
Seeing the noise, Governor Fairberg couldn't help but say angrily: "Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to pursue the traitors, you should retake the northern line of Tail Island as soon as possible and annihilate all the Chinese entering the port." ”
Kaowu's original plan was to stay in the port and not go out, although there are many Chinese, but one has no water source, and the other has no food, and it will not be long before he will retreat by himself, but now, if the Chinese have entered the port, then he can only fight.
"Captain Aldorp, you take three hundred men and immediately go to retake the tail island of the northern line." Kawu immediately ordered: "I will order the fleet to personally attack the Chinese fleet." ”
The Ming navy sailors went through Luermen, the Dutch could not be bombarded by the artillery of Fort Geranza, and the Ming fleet entered the inner harbor under the guidance of pilots and charts.
Zheng Chenggong left Gan Hui on the northern line of Weidao, and then let the warships land at Heliao Harbor, transport the soldiers to land, set up a booth position, and prepare to attack Chikan City from the flank, while the naval warships lined up in the harbor to cut off the connection between Chikan and Fort Geranza.
Kaauu also led the Dutch naval army and prepared for a decisive battle, but the artillery on both sides was inaccurate at night, and the Ming army obviously had a numerical advantage, so Kaauu did not dare to fight closely, so he retreated within the range of the artillery of Fort Geranza, and did not find a decisive battle with the Ming army.
The water army did not fight, and on land from Fort Geranza to the North End Line, Yang Yan wanted to drive the Chinese to the sea Captain Aldorp, but encountered Gan Hui.
China has always been a unified empire, and it is a centralized empire, and later historians, in order to correspond to Western history, rudely called China after the Qin Dynasty also a feudal society, in fact, it is unreasonable.
Western lords, big and small, that is feudal, and we are centralized.
Under feudal Europe, the king's full strength is limited, and it is great to fight a war and be able to mobilize a thousand people, unlike China, where a thousand people are not called a war, at most it is a friction, only tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of wars can leave a mark in the history books.
Three hundred Dutch landed on the island, and the three thousand elite Zheng Jun were approached, the Dutch were immediately stunned, hit the guts, and put two rows of guns with trumpets and drums, but Zheng Jun was not like the Nanyang natives, who dispersed in a hurry when they heard the gunshots, but responded calmly, and the frontal rattan players were impacted, and the archers and guns on both sides pressed up, and the Dutch were instantly defeated.
On the other side, the Dutch stationed at Chikan Fort learned that the Chinese had landed at Heliao Port, and the Dutch officers were embarrassed and led 400 people to prevent the Ming army from landing, but 400 Dutch soldiers, facing the Ming army that had been in battle for nearly 10,000 years, hurriedly fought each other, and even fled back to Chikan Fort with rolling and crawling.
