With the help of Taiwanese residents, Zheng Jun's sailors not only landed at Heliao Port, but also rushed to Chichicheng, and soon completed the encampment on the shore.

However, the actions of Zheng's naval division had already alarmed the Dutch troops stationed in Chichicheng, and they had just finished setting up camp when they were under heavy artillery fire from the enemy troops at the front. The stables and barns were also burned and destroyed by the Dutch army and traitors. Zheng Chenggong was worried that the grain and grass would be burned, and he was anxious.

Seeing this, Zhu Qing took the initiative to ask Zheng Chenggong for help, and then led thirty Jinyi guards, under the leadership of the patriarch, to pursue and intercept, and quickly eliminated the enemy who came to steal the camp, kept the grain and grass, and stabilized the morale of the army.

However, the departure of Jinyiwei gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. Losing Jinyiwei's keen sense of smell, the Zheng Junshui Division was quickly counterattacked by nearby enemies.

The Dutch commander sent a soldier to counterattack the Zheng army in three directions.

Along the way, he sent warships to attack the Zheng fleet on the Taijiang River; all the way to resist the landing of the Zheng army at the end of the northern line; The other way to support the Red Castle by boat.

The naval division of the Zheng army was faced with a battle of counterattack by water and land for a while. The Taijiang River has become an important battlefield.

The bewildered "Hector" also reacted and was making a detour to Taijiang to block the Zheng army, after all, the "Hector" was huge, the high tide was fashionable and it was difficult to pass through Luermen Port, not to mention that the tide had receded at this time, and the "Hector" could only make a detour to come to reinforcements.

The detour of "Hector" gave Zheng Chenggong time to hurry up the defense, and the soldiers of the Dutch army were divided into three ways, and Zheng Chenggong and the way of people also governed their bodies, and the soldiers were also divided into three ways to deal with it.

all the way to control Luermen Haikou and respond to the landing of follow-up troops; Hold on to the end of the northern line all the way to prevent the enemy from sneaking up, and pin down the enemy from the flank, so that he will be exposed to the enemy on the back and abdomen, and it will be difficult to form a ready-made encirclement; On the other hand, the Dutch fleet was on the side of the river, beware of the reinforcements of the Dutch fleet, and cut off the connection between Taiwan City and Chichicheng City. Strategically respond to the enemy's frantic counterattack.

At this time, the Jinyi guard led by Zhu Qing had already shrunk to pay a return visit. Because he knew in his heart that among the three routes, especially the waterway, the most critical, because they would be intercepted by the Dutch main ship "Hector" in Taijiang! This battle will determine the trend of the entire battle.

"How's it going?" After Zhu Qing came back, he went directly to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong was commanding the deployment at this time, and when he saw Zhu Qing coming back, he asked rhetorically, "How is the granary?" ”

Zhu Qing knew that Zheng Chenggong was most worried about the granary, so he hurriedly nodded and responded, "The granary is already fine, I specially ordered more than a dozen Jinyi Wei brothers to be stationed there, and with the help of so many people from the patriarch, it will be fine." I'm more worried about the waterway here, how do you arrange it? ”

Zheng Chenggong handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Zhu Qing, and smiled quite confidently, "If you want to divide the soldiers into three ways to bite me, I will also divide the soldiers into three ways, and I will bite him to death!" ”

Zheng Chenggong's self-confidence made Zhu Qing feel pleased, but it also made Zhu Qing a little worried, worried that he was too light on the enemy, and it was not terrible, what was terrible was the "Hector".

Zhu Qing took up his clairvoyance to observe it carefully, and said cautiously, "The Dutch army sailor should not be underestimated. ”

Sure enough, Zhu Qing just said lightly, and he woke up Zheng Chenggong's vigilance, this is the difference between a famous general and a fierce general, although a fierce general is brave in battle, but he doesn't necessarily know how to fight better; This is not the case with a famous general, who is both brave and knows how to fight, and has an extremely sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield, which is rarely controlled by emotions.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong was exactly like this, although he was ready, but he paid enough attention to Zhu Qing's reminder, after all, he had also seen the Dutch army's giant main ship "Hector" with his own eyes, and knew that it was not easy to deal with it.

"Someone!" Zheng Chenggong suddenly shouted, "Send two small express ships to attack the 'Hector' from the side, even if it is broken, drag the 'Hector' for me, and let the follow-up troops complete the landing!" ”

However, the two captains were just about to receive the order, but they were stopped by Zheng Xuan, who had just returned from patrol.

"General, it's too late, that big guy has already killed us here, and the whole ship is heavily guarded, not to mention our rapid ship, even if a fish escapes out of the water, it can be discovered by the enemy, and now in the past, it can only be given away in vain." Zheng Xuangang returned from Haiphong, so he must have a better understanding of the operation of the 'Hector' at sea.

After Zheng Chenggong heard this, he could only recall the two captains and glanced at Zhu Qing helplessly.

Zhu Qing smiled bitterly, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, this enemy will meet sooner or later, the general should speed up his preparations and think about how to deal with this giant." ”

After Zheng Chenggong heard this, he nodded clearly in recognition of the situation, and then called out again, "Bring the map!" ”

Unfolding the map, Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Qing and others began to study how to attack the "Hector".

After analyzing the most likely route of "Hector", Zheng Chenggong immediately decided, "Our large warships can confront it head-on, and it is almost impossible for whales to swallow it, so we can only besiege it with small ships, and a little bit of it will be eaten, dragged down, and destroyed!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Qing also nodded in agreement, but he quickly asked, "How many small boats does the general plan to besiege?" ”

At this time, Zheng Chenggong held his head high and smiled quite confidently, "My Ming Sailor has a great reputation since Zheng Gong went to the South Seas seven times, even if this 'Hector' is huge and well-equipped, but I believe that my Zheng Jun Sailor will definitely be able to take it down, and only ten small boats can destroy the enemy ship!" ”

Zheng Chenggong this time was not completely out of self-confidence and even a little arrogant, but took into account the follow-up layout, because he learned that the Dutch army not only has the large battleship "Hector", but also two large warships, although it is not as good as "Hector", but it can also be compared to several capital ships of Zheng Jun's naval division, he must be careful and win the biggest victory at the minimum cost, otherwise the follow-up battle will fall into passivity.

Although Zhu Qing didn't know that Zheng Chenggong still had such plans, he only persuaded lightly, "If the general wants to solve the battle with 'Hector' as soon as possible, I'm afraid he needs to be more prepared." ”

After Zheng Chenggong heard this, he smiled indifferently, he seemed to understand what Zhu Qing meant, but he was now the commander of an army, and he had to consider all aspects of the entire battle situation, and he couldn't easily change his strategy by listening to what others said, even if it was Zhu Qing, who he trusted the most. This is also the quality of a famous player.

However, Zheng Chenggong did not politely refuse Zhu Qing's suggestion, but nodded slightly, "I will consider it." ”

Three lines of troops were arranged to deal with the counterattack of the Dutch army, and Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Qing also began to board the ship and go to sea again. They had to block the "Hector" on the Taijiang River, otherwise once they let it land, they would contain the Zheng army and the follow-up troops on the shore and pose a threat to the three lines of defense.

Just when Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Qing led the Zheng army fleet to the sea to fight "Hector", the behemoth "Hector" finally slowly sailed towards the Taijiang River.

At the same time, according to reliable information, several other Dutch warships were also rushing to this side to reinforce the Dutch defenders of Chichi.

Zhu Qing's face was shocked when he heard this, and he glanced at Zheng Chenggong, this time it was Zheng Chenggong's turn to smile indifferently, "Now you should understand the reason why I can only plan to use ten warships against 'Hector', right?" ”

Zhu Qing nodded knowingly, "General Gaojian." ”

Although Zhu Qing didn't know that Zheng Chenggong still had such plans, he only persuaded lightly, "If the general wants to solve the battle with 'Hector' as soon as possible, I'm afraid he needs to be more prepared." ”

During the conversation, only a sound could be heard from ahead, and the lookout post suddenly shouted, "The enemy is coming!" ”
