"No, no, it's not the Dutch who came ashore!"

No matter how dense the artillery fire is, in the face of such a surging enemy, there will always be a time when it is a hundred dense, so Yu Guozhen soon discovered that it was not the Dutch who rushed to the shore. Although they wore Dutch uniforms and held muskets in their hands, they looked like Southeast Asians rather than Dutch, both in stature and appearance.

"The artillery is sparse, thank God, let Nicholas and Nanhai turn their faces, and let these natives be willing to die for the benefit of the company."

After more than half an hour of artillery fire, the temperature of the artillery on the battery was extremely high and it was about to begin to cool down, so the artillery became thin.

For the Dutch, the five thousand natives in front of them were consumables, and their whole role was to make the artillery of the battery omission, even if it was only temporary, it was enough. What's more, these 5,000 natives have not all been consumed, and more than 1,000 people have successfully landed on the beach.

As long as a group of Dutch soldiers followed onto the beach, it meant that the more than 1,000 people had command.

Therefore, the next thing to invest in was the soldiers of the Zheng family and the soldiers of the Dutch. The two families had a tacit understanding and sent men up one after another, and at the same time, their real warships began to approach, and the artillery began to return fire on the shore. From time to time, shells fell into the shipyard, stirring up smoke and dust.

To put it simply, there are still too many enemy ships, and more than 100 warships, at least two-thirds of which are gunboats, are used to attack a small island, which is not common in the South China Sea. Even the total number of the three fleets in Xinxiang at this time is not comparable to the number of combined forces of the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong!

Artillery fire rumbled. Yu Guozhen's brows furrowed slightly.

He still has one card that he hasn't played, and that is the battleship that has avoided Longmen Island. Because Xun Shilu came, the total number of warships was twenty. With twenty against a hundred, of course, there is no chance of winning, but with the huge cannon on the turret, then the odds are greater, at least at this time. The Dutch were not allowed to dock with Zheng Zhilong's coalition forces.

"I'm afraid the Dutch thought they would win by landing." Mao Yuanyi sneered: "Lord, why don't you let them go ashore?" ”

"Do it too fake, they won't be fooled." Yu Guozhen said.

"Sure enough. Nanhai Bo's guards are insufficient, hurry, hurry. Don't let their reinforcements arrive! ”

Seeing the Dutch soldiers finally approaching the land under artillery fire, Mendy clenched his fists and couldn't help but dance with his hands. The information he got from the Zheng family was that in general, there were only more than 500 soldiers guarding this island, and if they could take the island before Xinxiang's reinforcements arrived, then the forts on the island would become a sharp weapon for them to blockade Xinxiang!

If they can really do this, their first goal in this battle has been achieved.

Devo heard him, and the Dutch soldiers began to jump into the water, running waist-deep in the water. Quickly rushed to the shore. Unlike the natives, the Dutch soldiers fired as they charged, inflicting as much damage as possible on the shore, and covering the landing of the following troops.

Soon. Three hundred Dutch soldiers rushed to the shore to join the natives. With the command of the Dutch, the native soldiers woke up from the confusion of the people, and rushed in the direction of the battery by taking advantage of the reefs and trees on the shore to cover themselves.

"Lord, is it okay?" Mao Yuanyi said.

Mao Yuanyi is suitable for planning behind the scenes. It is absolutely not suitable for a commander who is really acting as a front-line commander, because although he can clearly judge the situation of both the enemy and us and propose targeted countermeasures in this regard, he is not good at grasping the actual fighters.

For example, at this time, when he saw that the hundreds of Dutch had put together more than 1,000 natives and rushed towards the fort in style, he was a little anxious, for fear that if there were more Dutchmen coming up, the fort would be lost.

"Don't worry, put some more fish, you can net more nets in one net." Yu Guozhen made up his mind at this time: "Moreover, we must let them see a little hope, you see, the Zheng family is still far away." ”

When the Dutch approached fifty meters of the fort, Yu Guozhen gave the order to open fire, and it was only a team of tiger guards who opened fire, the intensity of the fire was limited, and the Dutch used the reef and trees as cover, although they knocked down dozens of people, but did not stop the enemy from continuing to advance.

Zheng Zhilong had been paying close attention to the situation on the shore, and found that the sound of Huwei's shooting was not very loud, and the number of people who fired was obviously insufficient, which made him feel refreshed: "It seems that we still killed Yu Guozhen by surprise, Longmen Island is really guarded by more than 500 people, these people have to shoot both cannons and guns, they can't hold on for long - Shi Fu, it's time for us to go, don't let the red-haired guy say that we don't have much strength!" ”

Shi Fu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

He personally boarded a transport ship, and after a while, the Zheng family's transport ship began to grab the beach, and echoing the Zheng family's actions, the Dutch also sent reinforcements to the land from another angle.

"It's coming!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Guozhen showed a relaxed smile.

This was the time he was waiting, and he smiled at Mao Yuanyi: "Mr. Mao, just now you said that it is necessary for us to seize Bada and Manlaga after the war, but the Dutch also have a lot of immigrants in these two places, what should they do?" ”

When he asked, Mao realized that Yu Guozhen's real problem was not how to deal with these immigrants, but how to deal with the Europeans.

With Xinxiang's current strength, of course, he could send merchant ships to Europe for direct trade, and after controlling the entire South China Sea, he could obtain patents for Oriental products. However, the merchant ships sent to Europe, even with a fleet escort, were faced with an unfamiliar situation, and they would inevitably encounter the joint efforts of the European countries to lower the price, and they would have to guard against their possible attacks. Material losses are secondary, and the most worrying thing is the resulting loss of personnel.

"The Dutch did no better than the Spaniards in the Southeastern Islands, but they had not yet had time to kill the Chinese, so there was no need to be too polite to them, and according to the rules of the Europeans, the East India Company to which they belonged sent someone to redeem them. The ransom could have been less, but the key was to take this opportunity to reach some kind of agreement with it. Mao Yuanyi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In addition to the Dutch East India Company, it is still possible to bring the Portuguese and the British and French over. ”

Yu Guozhen calculated the time, and it was already 1640, and the British were probably engaged in the so-called bourgeois revolution, which was in chaos. Yu Guozhen did not have any good feelings for the British, and even disliked them more than the Spaniards, because the Anglo-Saxon nation is really a huge cancer for the whole world's peoples, and wherever they go, they spread plague and cause death, not to mention, even if they leave a place, they will inevitably leave a lot of trouble. Its race is despicable and insidious, almost the highest among all the races of the earth. As for the so-called British gentlemanliness, there has never been anything in the history of mankind, only rumors, deception, hypocrisy and betrayal.

"Mr. Mao is right, the Portuguese can be brought in, and then the French can be brought in, and the Nordic countries, they also have the East India Company, and they can deal with it. As for the UK...... The geographical location of this country in Europe is similar to the geographical location of the Japanese Kingdom in our China, and in the long run, if we want to intervene in European affairs, we need a foothold, and Britain is not bad. ”

Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this.

Not for anything else, but for Yu Guozhen's courage.

Previously, when Mao Yuanyi and Song Xiance led Xinxiang's staff group to formulate a global strategy, everyone's eyes were on Australia, the Americas, and some even on India and Africa. That's because these places are not well civilized, and they are very conducive to immigration. In particular, Australia and the Americas can be described as spheres of influence that must be fought for for China in China.

As for Europe, after seeing the military qualities of the Spaniards, everyone unanimously agreed that the military and technological strength of the Europeans was no weaker than that of Xinxiang, so they deliberately avoided Europe, and at most they only took advantage of the contradictions between European countries to play left and right in it.

But he never thought that Yu Guozhen's purpose was to find a foothold in China, such as the United Kingdom!

Britain has a limited population at this time, and it is a remote island, and there is a tendency to secession within it, and there are many contradictions between England and Wales in Scotland, if it works well, Britain will be divided into several countries, just as the Japanese country is actually divided into dozens of countries of different sizes, and then directly occupy one of them, and immigrate millions of Chinese people......

Just when Mao Yuanyi was thinking about this big deal, Yu Guozhen waved his hand and made an attack gesture.

The combined forces of the Dutch and the Zheng family had washed up on the beach, with a total of no less than five or six thousand men, and thousands more were continuing to board the ships. Yu Guozhen knew that this was the most critical time, if the Tiger Guard could withstand it on land, then the combined forces of the Dutch and the Zheng family would face an unprecedented disaster, on the contrary, if it couldn't withstand it, Longmen Island would not only have to abandon it, but he would also have to pay a heavy price if he wanted to retreat.

Under Yu Guozhen's order, all the heavy artillery began to abandon the attack on the enemy on the beach, but towards the sea, began to bombard.

All of a sudden, there was a thunderous sound on the fort, and the earthquake trembled!

This is not a few cannons, but dozens of cannons roaring at the same time!

The moment these cannons rang out in unison, Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale, because the sound of cannons was so dense, which proved one thing, the artillery fire was sparse, not necessarily that the artillery on the real fort was overwhelmed, but a trap that was arranged, making them mistakenly think that the defense of the fort had reached the limit, so they pressed all the soldiers to the casino!

If so, then ...... This Longmen Island may really be a trap!

The cannonballs that flew out formed a curtain on the sea, smashing the ships that were transporting reinforcements ashore one by one, and this time it was not the barbarians of Dayuan Island, but the Dutch and the soldiers of the Zheng family. Seeing his soldiers struggling in the water one by one, Zheng Zhilong's heart was like a knife. (To be continued)
