After dawn, Zheng Zhilong moved the fleet to the harbor, and the more than 20 Dutch soldiers captured in the harbor yesterday, plus hundreds of naval soldiers and sailors on the ship, were temporarily escorted to a spacious courtyard and guarded by 50 soldiers.

The port was damaged to a certain extent in last night's battle and had to be repaired, and besides, the number of ships of the Ming army was huge, and there were more berths to be docked, and Zheng Zhilong handed them over to his staff officers to deal with.

"Xing'er, you show me to guard the port, and I will personally lead the troops to Geranza, and I will meet these Dutch pigs who are invincible at sea." Thinking of being bullied by the Dutch before, Zheng Zhilong couldn't wait to personally slaughter the Dutch governor in Taiwan in the city of Geranza.

"Uncle is the commander of the fleet, every qiē of the fleet needs to be in charge of the uncle, and the matter of charging into battle will be handed over to the nephew!" Zheng Xing is Zheng Zhilong's nephew, it turned out that with Zheng Zhilong mixed at sea, after Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the imperial court, he also followed Zheng Zhilong and joined the Ming Dynasty's navy.

"Afraid of what? Didn't the surrender say that there were only three hundred soldiers in the city of Geranza? One hundred and two died last night, and now it is less than one hundred and eighteen, and the Dutch still have three heads and six arms? Zheng Zhilong still felt that going into battle in person was much more enjoyable than sitting on a ship and commanding.

"Uncle, doesn't it mean that we are now soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we are not the same as before." Zheng Xing still has diǎn worried about Zheng Zhilong's safety, and the guns of the Dutch are not decorations.

"It is precisely because we are soldiers that we should be rewarded for our meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty." When Zheng Zhilong was a pirate before, he was the first to take the lead, and now he is almost the same character.

"Uncle, the boss can't be in danger, if His Majesty knows that his uncle personally led the troops to attack the city, in the eyes of His Majesty, those of us who are subordinates, I'm afraid we are just a bunch of wrecks!" There was no way, Zheng Xing had to carry out Zhu Youzhen.

Zheng Zhilong was really deflated, he withdrew his somewhat frustrated eyes, "Xing'er uses soldiers, be careful, I won't set a time for you to break the city." ”

"Thank you uncle for your trust." Zheng Xing gave Zheng Zhilong a military salute.

"Xing'er...... No, Master Zheng, this is a military camp, I can't call you uncle in the future, and I won't call you Xing'er in public. Zheng Zhilong's gaze fell on Zheng Xing's body again, watching his nephew mature, his eyes were full of relief.

"Yes, uncle (10) dǐng (10) diǎn (10) small (10) said, .∨.o▽s_ (); Uncle, no, it's the commander. Zheng Xing hurriedly changed his words.

This time, it was the 11th Marine Brigade, Zheng Xing took these more than 3,000 soldiers, and set off towards the city of Geranza, and the rest of the soldiers of the Marine Corps temporarily camped in the port, or participated in the repair of the port, or rested in the camp.

During Zhu Youzhen's Northern Expedition, the First Marine Division of the North Sea Fleet, because it was not equipped with artillery, suffered thousands of casualties in the battle of the Sancha River in Liaodong.

With 3,000 to 200, plus equipped with artillery, Zheng Zhilong relieved Zheng Xing to attack the city of Gelansha alone, while he himself hid in the command room of the port, tasting Taiwanese-made tea, while waiting for the news of Zheng Xing's victory.

The city of Geranza was only ten miles from the port, and at this time the Dutch governor to Taiwan, Putmans, was frowning, sitting alone in his office, sipping local fragrant tea without taste.

All kinds of signs show that the armed attack is the Ming fleet, both in terms of numbers and the combat effectiveness of the sergeants, more than the Dutch defenders, and even more than he thinks, after the failure of reinforcement of the port last night, he did not dare to send reinforcements, because the defenders of the city of Geranza are already less than two hundred, and the defense of the city is difficult.

Putmans watched as the navy was annihilated and the port was lost, but nothing could be done.

Sometimes, between countries, the only way to solve problems is war, and it is force.

The main fleet of the Netherlands is far away in Batavia, and the far water can't save the near fire, even if the Batavian navy comes, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming navy, whether the Dutch navy can win, Putmans is really not sure.

"Report sir, no...... Oh no, it's ...... out there There were countless soldiers outside...... The city of Geranza ...... surrounded. The guard ran out of breath, and his white face was bloodshot, especially like a peach blossom, but his eyes were full of fear, as if he had seen a large number of Satan.

"What? Surrounded by Geranza? Putmans immediately thought of the Ming army, but he didn't know that they were coming so quickly, "Let's go, go to the city and have a look." ”

Putmans followed the guards to the East City Gate, a team of nearly 1,000 people had already surrounded the East City, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and deliberately pretended to be indifferent, "How about the other city gates?" ”

"Report sir, the other three gates are similar, all of them have nearly a thousand soldiers."

The guard's answer made Putmans completely fall into the ice hole, facing ten times the attack team of the defenders, not to mention going out of the city to fight, I am afraid it is impossible to escape, the army outside the city is not the indigenous people of the surrounding villages, but the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

Since he could not escape, Putmans could only rely on the city walls to defend it, hoping that the other soldiers who were based on Diǎn would get the message and come over for reinforcements as soon as possible.

However, Putmans quickly found the loophole in the problem, and the other soldiers according to Diǎn, combined with less than two hundred, were just a wave in the sea compared to the thousands of troops outside the city, and it was impossible to stop the huge wave of the Ming army.

Putmans began to regret that the city of Geranza was only the prototype of a city, and that it had not yet been completed, and that the walls were not only low but also not thick enough, and that they should have been completed if it had not been for the fact that business activities had taken up a lot of his time.

"Hey, damn commerce, compared to life, a single qiē gold and silver are superfluous."

There is no regret medicine in the world, and the world is full of regret people.

"Sir, what's that?" The guards saw that the Ming army outside the city had already installed artillery, and their hearts were even more frightened.

"What? Artillery? Putmans sat down on the ground, and if he had lost confidence when he saw the large number of Ming troops, now he was in despair, not in despair of victory, but in despair of life.

The city of Gelanza is now a weak earthen city, and it is more than enough to resist the surrounding natives, but in front of the artillery of the Ming army, this is a tofu scum project, who would have thought that the Ming army would raid the island of Taiwan?

"Do I need to surrender? Am I the last governor of Formosa (known as Taiwan in the Ming Dynasty)? ”

"Sir, don't we have artillery too?"

The guard's words reminded Putmans that he was like a man who was about to drown, and it was good to hold on to a straw, "Quick, prepare to open fire, target their artillery, blow them up." ”

The Dutch soldiers had long been concentrated at the east gate, and the gunners had only remembered to adjust the artillery when they heard Putmans' order.

The Dutch artillery was not equipped with a crosshair, and it was a waste of time to aim, but fortunately, their artillery was originally oriented in the direction of the outside of the city, and the gunners only needed to adjust the height of the muzzle according to their usual experience.

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

The artillery of the Ming army, almost simultaneously with the artillery of the Dutch, began to fire.

More than 20 artillery pieces of the Ming army, all concentrated in the east city gate, these small artillery, the firing range is only 2,000 steps, plus to shoot back to the city, the range of the artillery is actually less than 2,000 steps, and the Dutch occupy the advantage of high terrain, the range of the artillery exceeds the artillery of the Ming army, and the artillery fire can completely cover all the artillery of the Ming army.

However, the artillery of the Dutch fired solid bullets, and if the solid bullets could fall on the straight line where the Ming artillery was located, it would pose a threat to the artillery of the Ming army.

After a fierce battle for more than an hour, the Ming army had the base of an artillery, which was directly hit by a solid bullet, the steel plate on the base was deformed, the barrel was skewed, and it was temporarily unusable, and there was also an artillery piece, which was hit by a solid bullet that jumped after landing, and the barrel was concave inward, and the flowering shell could not be discharged.

And more than ten artillery pieces of the Dutch, not only was the body of the cannon blown up by the flowering shell, but even the gunners were killed and wounded, Putmans fled quickly, just dodging the shrapnel released when the flowering shell exploded, but was still pushed to the ground by the shock wave, and after gnawing a mouthful of mud, he slowly got up.

The Ming army saw that the solid bullets on the city head had completely stopped firing, and it was estimated that the loss was almost over, so they adjusted the target of the flowering bullets to the city wall.

After three rounds of shelling, the east city wall was like a major earthquake of magnitude 10 or more, and it basically collapsed completely, and the collapsed earth happened to add to the bottom of the city wall, and the inside and outside of the city were completely connected.

Putmans became more and more convinced that it was the army of the Ming Dynasty, and although it was possible for the natives to gather so many soldiers, it was impossible for them to have such powerful artillery, which was more powerful than the Dutch artillery, and he crouched under the head of the city and did not dare to move, almost frightened.

"Sir, the walls have collapsed." The guards reported the latest information to Putmans.

"The city is broken? Quick, organize soldiers to guard the east gate, and don't let this group of satans enter the city. ”

"Sir......" The guard hesitated, not knowing how to report to Putmans.

"Quick, why don't you go and give the order?" Putmans was a little hysterical, and once this group of satans entered the city, the good days of the Dutch would come to an end.

"Sir, the soldiers at the East City Gate were all killed and injured by the artillery of the Ming Army, and the soldiers at the other City Gates did not dare to withdraw for a while, there are also enemies outside these city gates, these devils, how many of them are there......" The guard turned from reporting to scolding, he didn't know that he was just a herald now, and he didn't even have the right to scold the street.

"All dead?" The guard said a lot, but Putmans could only hear this one clearly, and he muttered to himself: "What a hateful, hateful flowering bomb!" ”

"Sir, what now? The devils are coming. "The guards were so anxious that they were in a desperate situation, and there was no way to escape, the fire was burning their eyebrows, and the chief still had time to be lyrical.
