"Yes, Colonel, please allow me to lead a battalion out of the city to crush this cowardly Chinese army and avenge our brave naval soldiers." Major Marbury put his legs together and puffed out his chest proudly. "For the Netherlands!"

The heroic and resolute Major Marbury stood in stark contrast to the haggard and obscene Overmars standing next to him.

"But Colonel, we don't have the help of the Navy now, and we ......" Overmars had just raised his arms, trying to increase his persuasiveness, but the sight of Michels' eyes with a gloomy cold light made him pause with amusement.

"If you were a soldier, I would even shoot you on the spot in the name of cowardice, dear Mr. Overmars. This is war, not politics. Michels's large, smoke-soaked hand landed on Overmars's shoulder, making him feel like a sweat was soaking his spine.

"Well, this is the battlefield, you have the final say, my admiral." Overmars nodded knowingly, he didn't want to anger the colonel, who had always had a bad temper, knowing that whether it was on the battlefields of Europe or quelling the rebellion of the natives in this colony, Overmars had not heard of the army led by Colonel Michels being heavily damaged.

It is undeniable that he was indeed a good officer, and if it were not for his foul temper, which often annoyed his superiors, he would have been a general, as His Excellency the Governor had said more than once to his henchman Overmars.

"Now, without the protection of naval artillery, we cannot retreat smoothly from the sea, so we have to use the invincible strategic power of our Dutch army from the land, and we must destroy those damned enemies before we can attack directly to the capital of Lan Fang, East Wanjin, or retreat to the area controlled by our Dutchmen, and wait for the reinforcement of our troops, and then attack......" Michels calmly explained to his subordinates the necessary surnames for battle.

"Gentlemen, we must attack before the enemy is completely encircled, and only by ourselves, and only by us, the best soldiers in the world, can our opponents understand who is the master of this land." Colonel Michels' words were inflammatory, "Yes, Colonel!" All the officers stood in unison and paid their respects to the colonel.

"Colonel, something is wrong." At this time, an officer walked briskly over and saluted Colonel Michels. "What's wrong?" Michels raised his fiery brow, his brows fluttering like two beating flames.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"The storm, I'm afraid it's coming soon." The officer's hand pointed to the west, and there, under the high sun, an eerie cloud line was gradually showing its figure.

A dark cloud also appeared on Colonel Michel's face, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the coming of the storm was definitely not good news for them.

The expressions of the officers around him were not much better, for these armed forces with pure firearms, rain and dampness were their worst enemies.

Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, Colonel Michels laughed instead: "Gentlemen, don't worry, we still have time, at least one or two more attacks, and, in this colony, don't we fight the enemy less often in the humidity and heavy rain?" ”

"Yes, we have never feared any enemy, and there is no doubt that we will be the victors in this battle. However, in the heavy rain, our brave soldiers will suffer more casualties. Colonel, do we ......" Marbury said with some concern.

"We don't have time, as long as the other side sets up a few more layers of obstacles outside the castle, it will have a great impact on our attack, and, if it is really as Overmars said, the other side has a large fleet, and now, our two battleships are also in the hands of the other side. Then, if the other side attacks at the same time, regardless of casualties, we will also suffer great losses, and this place is too close to the sea, which is very disadvantageous to us without naval protection. "Colonel Michels's apprehensions are not unfounded.

His words were echoed by all the officers in the office. Soon, a brief military meeting would have yielded the results and, without a tentative attack, three thousand brave Dutch soldiers would strike at the enemy who dared to surround them, and the only mobile force, the Dutch cavalry of one hundred and fifty men, would strike at the right time.

"Remember, we're going to fight." Colonel Michels, after giving the order, waved his strong arms fiercely. "For the Netherlands!"

"For the Netherlands!" All the officers also raised their arms and expressed their bravery and pursuit of victory with their shouts.

And Liang Pengfei, who was standing on a high platform in the distance outside the castle, also saw the black cloud line that was rolling over. They also saw the strangeness of the castle, the other party opened the city gate, and a group of soldiers were coming out of the castle and began to line up under the city walls.

"Young master, it seems that those Dutch people are really a bit backbone, they don't want to be trapped in the city by us, I'm afraid they want to fight the trapped beasts." Bai Shusheng looked into the distance and said loudly to Liang Pengfei.

"It's not a backbone, it's the dignity of an old colonial power, and although this behavior seems to be correct now, it's ......" Liang Pengfei took a deep breath, a meaningful smile on his face, as if the Dutch soldiers who were appearing were nothing more than a group of humble ants.

"Liang Shuisheng." Liang Pengfei shouted in a low voice.

"In! What does the young master command! Liang Shuisheng, who had an uncontrollable look of excitement, strode forward surrounded by the envious and jealous eyes of the other battalion commanders, and then put his boots together, saluted Liang Pengfei standardly, looked at Liang Pengfei with spicy eyes, and tried his best to straighten his back.

Liang Pengfei walked up to him, patted his sturdy shoulder, and said gently: "Today's battle will be handed over to your special battalion, you, but I spent the most effort to build a unit armed to the teeth, but before the face to face with the enemy, you can only be called a unit with extravagant equipment." ”

Hearing this, Liang Shuisheng, who was unconvinced, was about to speak, but was stopped by Liang Pengfei raising his hand, Liang Pengfei walked a few steps slowly, and saw the officers and soldiers who had gathered around, Liang Pengfei's voice became more and more high: "Look, on the horizon, there is about to be a storm, but it doesn't matter, who are we?" We are pirates, we want you to stand in front of the enemy today, with the weapons in your hands and your courage, and let those Dutch people on the other side know that their actions of going out of the city to meet us are so stupid and ridiculous, and they, these white-skinned ghosts and idiots, are only worthy of being a stepping stone for our Liang family army to become famous in the world! ”

"Liang Jiajun wins! Wansheng! Victory !! The agitated officers and soldiers, unable to hold their composure in front of Liang Pengfei's inflammatory remarks, raised their weapons and roared at their leader, with their rough and loud voices, into the sky.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Soon, the roar sounded over and over again, and all the Liang family soldiers raised the weapons in their hands and let out an excited roar, and their roar even formed a sound wave, which stirred into the sky.

"They seem excited, is it because they are giving us a warm welcome?" Robben, a Dutch cavalry lieutenant, proudly rode a horse that was moving high like a dance, and smiled at Lieutenant Colonel Marbury beside him.

"Perhaps, it seems, the cowardly defeat of our navy has made their morale very high." Major Marbury shrugged his shoulders, the expression on his face did not change much, he was just thinking about the battle for a while, he had to lead the soldiers to advance half a kilometer, leaving the houses scattered around the castle, so that the soldiers on his side could calmly attack the other side in a skirmish line, but, due to the urgency of time, the heavy artillery could not be transferred to the position in such a short time, so he only brought twenty light infantry guns, hoping to catch up with the storm, With a stormy attack, these enemies were crushed, and they understood that the Dutch, apart from the fleet, their powerful army was definitely not something that the Miscellaneous Fish forces in the East could fight.

"The other party has also started to move, hey, it's strange, these soldiers have good uniforms, but why are their military caps so ugly, oh my God, it's like an upside-down iron pot on their heads." Lieutenant Robben looked through the binoculars at the troops that were beginning to assemble on the other side, and he was amazed.

"I guess it's a helmet." Lieutenant Colonel Marbury smiled, and when he observed the number of troops gathered by the Chinese on the opposite side, his brows couldn't help but twist: "Is it wrong or is the commander of the other side too arrogant, he actually only gathered about 2,000 troops, do they really think that we Dutch are clowns who only use flintlock pistols as toys?" ”

"This group of idiots, I really think that the commander on the other side is not an imbecile, does he think that 2,000 people can defeat the 3,000 elite Dutch Army? I really want my beloved babe to kick his ass hard with his hooves. Lieutenant Robben patted his beloved horse on the neck and looked at the Chinese troops in the distance with a mocking expression.
